Godfather Of Champions

David Moyes was the first candidate to reject the Football Association of England. He said that he was very satisfied with staying in Everton, not like working in a different environment. What's more, when the head coach of the England national team is so tired, he is stared at by reporters for three hundred and sixty-five days a year. He is not free 24 hours a day, and he must beware of being framed by tabloids, such as the Chief. Door or something.

He doesn't like that kind of life. So he publicly rejected the FA. Subsequently Everton also issued a statement on the official website to clarify some previous rumors, saying that Moyes will continue to stay in Everton.

The Football Association of England has given the new head coach an annual salary of up to 8.5 million pounds. It seems that this position has become a coveted sweet potato, but in fact this is a hot potato. 8.5 million pounds is the annual salary for leading the team to win the European Cup. Together with other rewards of this kind, the new England coach can earn up to more than 10 million pounds a year. But all coaches know how difficult it is for the head coach of England to sit in this position.

You not only need to have enough fame and prestige, to be able to resist the big-name players who have been spoiled by the media; you also need to have real talents to withstand the doubts of experts; in addition, you have to have the awareness of entertainment stars and be used by the media all day Hold the magnifying glass and focus without complaining.

Stuart Pierce also decided to give up this high-paying job after hesitating for a while. When answering questions from reporters, he said that he would rather continue to work in the U21 youth team, and training young players is the way out for English football.

These two people announced their withdrawal one after another, which put the FA into an awkward situation-within the scope of the local coaches, it is estimated that no one will take over this job.

They can only look overseas.

There are many excellent coaches overseas, such as Scolari, Mourinho, Ancelotti, Hiddink, etc...

However, the FA executive Sean Barclays still hopes to find a good coach in England. Foreign coaches are inconvenient to manage. If they fail to show results in the end, the FA will be scolded "because of choosing foreign coaches." The local coach is more obedient.

But Moyes and Pierce didn't appreciate it. Especially Pierce, who was cultivated by the FA, retreats, not at all the fierceness he had when he was a player. Let Barclays disappointed.

While worrying about this matter, he unexpectedly received a call.

"I'm in London now, I think we can talk more in detail..." The person who said this was Tony Dunn.

Dunn was actually really tempted, and the FA is really struggling to ride a tiger this time...

The Football Association of England is worrying about new coaches, and Nottingham Forest is the same. They had sent out an invitation to Mourinho, but Mourinho was not interested in them. It's not that the Nottingham Forest seedlings can't keep his big Buddha. Mourinho is a coach with a very unique personality, so he doesn't like going to a team that has another person's deep impression on him, because it is too difficult to start. He has no interest in being the second life of anyone, nor does he want to live in the shadow of Tony Dunn.

Finding a circle of successful coaches outside, no one wants to come to Nottingham Forest. Hiddink agreed to coach the Forest team, but the conditions he put forward made Evan Daugherty unacceptable. The Dutch magical coach even served as the head coach of the Dutch national team. Evan was not hiring a temporary worker, he would never allow him to step on two boats, so Hiddink also passed Nottingham Forest.

In addition, some coaches are very interested in the position of the Forest team and the annual salary figures, but the Forest team is not interested in them. These people are generally second-rate coaches, and Evan thinks they can't control the current championship team.

In the end, Nottingham Forest went through untold hardships after entering July and dug up Manchester United coach Martin O'Neal. This former head coach from Nottingham Forest is indeed the most suitable candidate for the Forest team from all aspects. Martin O'Neill is capable and has a certain reputation. And the most important thing is that his temper is much gentler than Tony Dunn, such a person is easy to discipline.

The departure of O'Neal triggered a chain reaction. After losing O'Neal, Manchester United stepped up the offensive to pursue Mourinho, and finally succeeded in persuading Mourinho to quit, leave Inter Milan and join Manchester United. His arrival is regarded by Manchester United officials as the starting point for the Red Devils to rebuild their glory, comparing him to Liverpool signing Shankly, Manchester United signing Ferguson, and Nottingham Forest signing Tony Dunn.

Inter Milan has nothing to do except express regret. Manchester United are thirsty for talent, and even Mourinho's liquidated damages have helped pay. It seems that they have missed the championship for several consecutive years, making Manchester United who were used to holding the cup in the Ferguson era a little panic. In order to get a good captain, they will do whatever they want at all costs.

Inter Milan was thinking about looking for a coach at this time. They contacted Tony Dunn. Unfortunately, Dunn has already reached an agreement with the English Football Association-he will officially coach the England national team.

Now it is only waiting for the FA official to announce the matter.

In the talks with Barclays, the two sides negotiated terms. Although the English Football Association is similar to the Chinese Football Association in some places, they will not interfere in the work of the coach. Dunn is most satisfied with this. He doesn't care much about the others. Some people are afraid of being stared at all the time after becoming the head coach of England. Dunn is not afraid. He feels that fighting against the sky and the earth is no better than fighting against people, because fighting against people is endless.

That was the case in Nottingham Forest, and it was almost the same for the England national team.

The FA's idea is that they have already said that this time they must find a native England coach to lead the England team. Since Dunn took the initiative to show his favor, they have no reason to turn a blind eye or refuse. As long as everyone can reach a consensus, then let Dunn be the head coach.

The two sides hit it off, and as a result, the person who was the least optimistic about the media before became the final winner and came together with the English Football Association.

Two days later, the Football Association of England will hold a press conference with Tony Dunn to formally announce the news at the meeting. This news will surely blow many people's eyes by then.

※※※

Today is Martin O’Neal’s first day of work in Nottingham Forest. He will meet with his team. This was an ordinary meeting, but O'Neal was a little nervous or even upset. It's all because the last head coach of this team is really...the light is too bright.

He and Dun En can't talk about close relationship, but they are also friends. Because he had never spoken ill of Dun En publicly, this was enough for people like Dun En to regard it as friendship. You know how many people curse and insult Dun En every day.

Now he has to face the tremendous influence left by his friends. He is also a successful coach, and he is naturally unwilling to live in the shadow of others.

Perhaps we can explain from another angle how difficult Martin O’Neill’s work is.

While waiting for the arrival of the new coach, the players of the Forest team changed their clothes in the locker room, but the discussion was still Tony Dunn.

"I read yesterday's news that a reporter caught the boss with the old man from Barclays. You said the boss is really going to coach the England team, right?" Bell asked.

"Who knows, I don't think it's very likely. The FA hates the head..." Mitchell frowned and said.

"Hey, whatever you do... I think we should think about the difference between the newcomer Martin O'Neill and the boss."

"What's the difference? That can be said to be a day and a night. The boss is the most special one, in England... No, there is no second person like him in Europe, not even Mourinho. !"

"You said why the boss is leaving..." Bell asked again.

Now the discussion disappeared. Some people even sighed slightly. This problem plagues many forest team players. They have thought about many reasons, such as the boss’s health, the boss’s family has problems, the boss and the club’s top leaders are at odds, the boss is tired of coaching on the same team for eleven consecutive years, or The boss betrayed them...

Dunn has never explained the reason for his sudden resignation in the media. There are many rumors outside, some of which are close to the players' guesses, making them all feel confused and don't know who to believe.

The impact left to them by Tony Dunn’s sudden resignation is still there today. Some of them still don’t understand why the boss chose to leave suddenly at that time, but they can clearly feel that the boss is gone. The team seems to have lost something very important, the hearts of the people are scattered, it is not easy to get together again.

Before O'Neal came to the Forest, Kompany was sold to Italy by Allen. Without Dunn's obstruction, Alan can sell anyone he wants, as long as the other party can afford the price that makes his heart touch.

Following the sale was Layton Barnes, who went to Everton in the Premier League.

These two men brought Alan Adams to 27 million pounds in income. If Dunn was there, he would definitely be bloodied by Alan Adams, but no one can stop the businessman now.

The forest team is very dissatisfied with the high-level driving away the leader and selling two teammates. More and more people in the team have lost confidence in this team. Ironically, just two months ago, this team won the great triple crown and became the only one in European football in the past 15 years. At that time, they must have thought they could continue to create glory. Become the strongest team to unite Europe. If football also learns from the NBA and has a championship ring, when everyone retires, ten fingers are definitely not, and even toes are not enough... That kind of future is really beautiful!

Rome was not built in a day, but if it collapsed, one night would be enough.

The dull atmosphere in the dressing room was broken by one person.

"Don't rush, don't let the new coach think that you are all professional players who like to be late." Talking George Wood, he has changed his training uniform, standing at the door of the locker room and staring coldly at the teammates inside.

He seemed to have recovered from the shock of his departure. The poor performance in the World Cup has become a thing of the past. In training, he is still the most hardworking and serious one. He has more words than before, but the expression on his face... is getting colder.

No one dared to fight against George Wood like this, even to look at each other. A group of people quickly bowed their heads and hurriedly changed clothes and sneakers. Some people who had obviously changed their shoelaces untied and fastened their shoelaces again, as if it could be tighter.

Then the players filed out, walking to the training ground in twos and threes.

There, David Chris Luck is introducing the basic situation to Martin O'Neal. He is trying to avoid mentioning Tony Dunn's name. He doesn't want this new head coach to have any extra thoughts.

"...We sold Kompany and Barnes before, but fortunately, they are no longer the absolute main players of the team. Pepe and Woodgate can be the main center-back partners, and we have Gareth at the left back. Bell and Joe Matoke. Bell can attack and defend well. Matoke is younger and has more potential...Although our defense is the best in England, I think if there is another high-level substitute goalkeeper. Okay... Thiago is a bit old, and his form is declining fast. He didn't have many chances to play last season. Tony said that if a team wants him...er." He suddenly stopped because he I found myself still mentioning that person's name accidentally.

O'Neal smiled very easily: "Tony is right. Some people don’t have to stay in the Forest team. The Forest team is the most united team in the Premier League and the most harmonious locker room atmosphere, but it does not mean that we are a nursing home here. It is also a nursing home for public welfare."

Chris Lak sighed psychologically that O'Neill seemed to be getting along well, so he continued to introduce.

At this time the players have all come to the court, they gathered on the other side, doing warm-up activities under the leadership of the physical coach.

O'Neal was listening to the introduction of the assistant coach while quietly observing.

This team that swept Europe and frightened the enemy has welcomed a new captain for the first time. What gift will they give themselves? How long can I stay on this ship? These O'Neal didn't even think about it. There is only one person in his mind-Tony Dunn. He is bringing his mind as close as possible to Dunn, speculating on how Dunn led the team, so that he can find the fastest way to integrate into the team and turn this team into Martin O’Neal’s team. .

After the team warmed up, O'Neal walked over and greeted them: "Hello, gentlemen. I am your new coach, Martin O'Neal. I believe everyone must have heard my name?"

Some of the players let out a laugh, while others whispered: "What does he call us?'Gentlemen'?"

"It's awkward, I still like'Guys'."

"Shhh, it's just a different style. Be careful not to let him hear..."

In fact, O'Neill heard it all, with a smile on his face, but made himself act like he didn't hear it at all.

He was joking on his face, but he was smiling wryly in his heart. It seems that there is simply no way to make this team its own...

Although the players of the Forest team didn't know the difference between the new coach and the former boss in terms of temperament, they soon learned that coach Martin O'Neal and the boss are different in the convenience of leading the team.

Dunn always likes to leave specific matters to other people in the coaching staff. He just stands by and observes, occasionally speaking out. It looks cool in a suit, leather shoes and sunglasses.

O'Neill wore a sports suit and personally demonstrated in the training. This obviously has something to do with being an excellent football player. From the perspective of training effects, O'Neal is better than Tony Dunn, at least some players think so.

Among the players of Nottingham Forest are the stubborn "Tony Dunn". They will look down on people and coaches except Dunn. Although on the surface they don’t cause trouble for the new coach, they are full of contempt. Just waiting for the new coach to make a mistake and become a handle they can cover.

The die-hards are reluctant to admit that O'Neal is better than Dunn in training. They feel that O'Neal's on-the-spot command and psychological ability must be inferior. Anyway, football ultimately depends on the result of the game, not the effect of training.

After the morning training was over, everyone left with their own hearts. Martin O'Neal went to see his immediate boss, club president Evan Daugherty.

"How did it feel to work on the first day, Martin?" Evan asked with a smile.

"Very good, everyone is very cooperative, this is really a great team." O'Neal did not tell the truth, he lied to cover up those troubles.

Evan smiled and shook his head: "Don't lie to me, Martin. I know this team, they are just like Tony Dunn's temper. They are stinky and hard." There was no expression on his face. The look of disgust, but just smile, as if making a joke of an old friend. "I think there must be some of them who are not very convinced by you, but it doesn't matter, they will know if they win a few games. You know the tradition of Nottingham Forest is simple-victory is ten million times better than sweet words."

Martin O'Neill muttered in his heart: It is also ten million times harder than sweet words.

At this point, Evan shrugged. He suddenly remembered that this tradition did not last long, because it was brought to the Forest team by Tony Dunn. Sure enough, the influence of this man is really ubiquitous in Nottingham Forest...Like the ghost of the castle, the ghost is lingering. He was a little uncomfortable, changed his expression, his smile faded slightly, and said to O'Neill:

"You can draw up a cleaning list, we have to rebuild the team, except for the core players not to move, you can do everything else."

O'Neal was a little surprised when he heard the club chairman say this. He looked up at the man in front of him, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"If you want a team that is completely yours, I think proper cleaning is necessary, Martin. It's time to reshuffle the cards."

O'Neill was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, after I observe for a while, I will give you a list. Including people who need to be sold and bought, there are all on it."

After speaking, O'Neill left Evan Dogatti and left the chairman's office.

Standing in the sunshine outside, he suddenly understood why Tony Dunn left Nottingham Forest at such a glorious time. Few head coaches have the energy to compete with the club chairman, and there are very few old monsters like Ferguson. When the chairman of a club interferes too much in the affairs of the team, it shows that the team is dangerous.

I do this at Manchester United and I do this at Nottingham Forest. It seems that successful club presidents feel very good about themselves.

How long can he persist in such an environment?

O'Neal didn't know, he could only hope that he could regain his own right to speak with one victory after another, and regain his due position in this team.

Just like his predecessor did, one victory after another, keep running forward, there is no chance that you will stop and take a breath, even if you are tired, you have to grit your teeth and keep running.

Fortunately, I don't have a heart attack.

O'Neill shook his head and walked to the parking lot. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
