Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 903: The determination to win the heart of the lion king

The fact that more than 50,000 home fans "welcome" Tony Dunn with boos has become a thing of the past. The referee has already blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the fans have turned their attention to cheering for the Forest team. Regarding the matter, Tony Dunn has not taken care of it.

Judging from the scene, the Nottingham Forest at home obviously has the upper hand. After all, they have played together for many years, even if they change the head coach, there is no loss of that understanding. And... even if they are facing the team led by the original boss, they don't need to release water in the game. Dunn had never taught them to release water when faced with old friends.

The dressing room in Nottingham Forest clearly split into three factions. One faction is a diehard supporter of Tony Dunn, such as Pepe. The other faction is a player full of resentment towards Dunn. If you want to speak of a representative... Wood should count as one. There is another faction that is the middle wall-riding faction. They did not express their views clearly. They did not have the obvious sentimental inclinations towards Tony Dunn’s departure like Peppa and Wood. Such people accounted for the majority.

In the game, this split has also been reflected. George Wood is particularly enthusiastic. He worked tirelessly in the midfield to shuttle and intercept, while also actively participating in the attack.

O'Neal gave up Dunn's original 4231 formation and changed it to 442. The midfielder had only Wood a midfielder and Shaheen played forward. The two full-backs are Fernandez and Bentley. The forwards are Aaron Mitchell and Abang Raho. The defenders from left to right are Gareth Bale, Pepe, Thiago Silva and Rafinha. The goalkeeper is Akinfeev.

This lineup is no different from Dunn's back then. It seems that O'Neal still intends to use Dunn's main force framework. But if Pepe's statement is true, then O'Neal will soon worry about finding another central defender.

On the other hand, in England, a group of improvised third-tier teams have to have a tacit understanding, skills and tactics but no tactics, and their spirits in the away game are not very high. It was really lucky that Nottingham Forest scored in the opening ten minutes.

Defender Jack Cook passed the football to the midfielder Delphi. This was originally an ordinary 15-meter diagonal pass, a technical action that any professional football player can do, but Cook missed the pass. Cook can not be blamed, because Delphi is also part of the responsibility.

At the moment Cook passed the ball, Delphi thought Cook was going to take the ball by himself, so he stood still. And the ball passed by Cook needs to make Delphi run to respond, so the football and Delphi passed by, and it rolled directly to Shaheen's feet.

The fans in the stands gave Cook, who had made a mistake, a burst of laughter.

Tang shook his head after seeing this scene in the stands: "It's really a mob."

What he said is right. This England is a mob. Some players who have rarely or never been selected to the national team before put together improvised, hoping they can have any good performance? That is simply a fantasy.

Dunn listened to the laughter of Forest fans off the court, not annoyed or anxious. Yes, these players are not level and experienced, but they have advantages that no one else has noticed. Compared with the England team where the big names gather, this team is more motivated because they have hard work. reason.

If you want to get into the sight of my Dharma, you have to put out a little bit of hard work.

※※※

But the mob is the mob. After this England resisted for twenty-five minutes, the goal guarded by Chris Kirkland was finally blasted open by Aaron Mitchell with his head.

The cheers erupted at Crimson Stadium this time were even louder than when the Foresters were welcomed into the court. The deafening sound seemed like Niagara Falls was pouring down in the ears, and the rumbling ground seemed to be endless. Rolling thunder, stirring in everyone's heart.

This is the first time that Dunn has learned the power of the new stadium. He was shocked and a little lost-playing in such a stadium must be more enjoyable than in the city stadium.

"The goal scorer is Aaron--" the announcer on the stadium radio led the fans to shout again.

"Mitchel!!!" the fans in the stands responded loudly.

"In the twenty-sixth minute, Aaron Mitchell set the record for Nottingham Forest! Beautiful wing coordination, grab points in the middle! Mitchell's height and jumping advantage allow David Whitt and Anton Ferdinand At a loss! Before the game, there were some people worried that the Nottingham Forest after Tony Dunn would perform as if losing his soul, but from the point of view of this goal, this kind of worry was unnecessary. The Forest players quickly adapted. Their new head coach was not soft-hearted when facing Tony Dunn... It seems that Tony Dunn's first national team game is about to encounter Waterloo!" The commentator's tone was a little gloating. In fact, it is the wish of many people to be able to see Dun En, who has always been strong, deflated, and this commentator cannot avoid it.

The fans reacted enthusiastically after the goal, but the goalkeeper didn't want to celebrate. On the one hand, this is just a friendly match, not even a warm-up match of sufficient quality, and scoring a goal is nothing good. On the other hand, it was because it was Tony Dunn, the boss. Tony Dunn is the person who should be most grateful for Mitchell’s career in this life. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid he would have been playing the hopeless central defender for the rest of his life and then abandoned by the Forest team to go to the lower leagues. The team stayed together and finally retired in obscurity. He is on the side of Pepe.

After the goal, Mitchell didn't even wave his hand to respond to the cheers of the fans, so he turned and ran back. Occasionally he shook his head, feeling that these people who were picked by the head were too weak...

The people who are really happy about the goal are Martin O'Neal and Evan Dogatti. The former is because it is possible to defeat Tony Dunn. Although a friendly match can’t explain too many problems, it can definitely get rid of Tony Dunn’s shadow temporarily. People don’t always say “Tony Tang The successor of grace", this kind of long and complicated title.

The latter was happy because he heard the cheers erupting from the stands, and the hearts of the people were still on his side...

Dunn expressed his dissatisfaction with the loss of the ball. He shook his head on the coach's bench and said to Walker: "The defense is not tacit enough... You should not give Bentley a chance to pass."

Walker nodded: "There is no way, Tony. They have been training together for a long time, I think we don't care about the result of this game..."

"No." Dunn categorically rejected Walker's proposal. "This game must be won."

Walker stopped talking. He can vaguely guess why Dunn must win this game. The reason is very complicated. In addition to Liwei, he was also stimulated by the boos when he entered the field. When did Tony Dunn admit defeat? Served softly? If others boo him, then he must prove his strength even more. Simply put, he just likes to work against others. No wonder that such a person with a strong personality would offend so many people.

Walker thinks that maybe he is really the best candidate to be England's assistant coach. Changed someone else to be Dun En's assistant, I'm afraid you can get into a fight with him if you disagree. Only a person who knows Dun En so much can act as a lubricant.

Think about it again, the person who can be an assistant coach for Dunn must be a good-tempered, good-natured gentleman. Such as him, such as David Chris Luck, and the Chinese Tang. No wonder it is said that Roy Keane rejected two invitations from Dunn to ask him to be an assistant coach. If the Irishman came, they might not even be friends...

Nottingham Forest fans are optimistic about the outcome of this game, especially after Mitchell scored. In their view, winning is not a problem, the problem is that the team can win this England third-line team a few goals. If they win in the end, they will be worth it this afternoon.

Dunn observed it off the court and decided to make adjustments. Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he called the captain Ashley Cole close to his side. So and so urged.

After returning to the court, Ashley Cole conveyed Dunn's latest instructions to his teammates, and then the England team contracted its formation and began to enter the defensive phase.

Dunn could see that the morale of Nottingham Forest was rising amidst the waves of cheers from the fans. If you look at O'Neal's **** excitement on the sidelines, you can guess that the Forest team will take advantage of the momentum. attack. So in the current state of England, if you want to go out and play against the Forest team, you will definitely die miserably in the end. If he was losing the ball, Dunn would not be confident that he could win the game.

So he chose to retreat, ugly retreat.

The narrator laughed: "We have seen Tony Dunn’s signature skills again. Compared with him, Nottingham Forest’s new head coach Martin O’Neal is obviously more active. He is directing the team to press the offense and strive to get another one. ball."

At the price of being ugly and ridiculed, Dunn's team managed to keep the 0:1 score to the halftime. No matter how indiscriminately bombed Nottingham Forest, England's goal just won't fall. This makes the fans in the stands feel very boring-it is clear that the opponent is a makeshift England third-line team, the team is almost all the main force in the battle, but still can't help them.

It's very simple to stick to it, everyone shrinks into a ball and knows what they want to do.

During the only half-day joint training time, Dunn allowed the team to practice defense. At that time, everyone felt strange, but now they understand the coach’s good intentions...

When the whistle sounded during the intermission, Dunn got up from his seat first and walked towards the corridor first. When the camera thought of giving Dun En another close-up, it could only capture his back in the tunnel.

"Very boring first half. As long as Tony Dunn is there, the game can't be good. Martin O'Neal brought a bit of fresh air to Nottingham Forest, and Tony Dunn brought what he was good at in the Forest to England. The team. We don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. But as Dunn himself said, victory is the only criterion for testing whether a coach is successful. As long as he can lead the team to victory, those who question him will disappear. ."

Dunn watched the players file in in the locker room, and when everyone was there, he closed the door. The sound insulation of the new stadium is much better than that of the city stadium. Once the door is closed, the noise outside is almost inaudible.

"I have to commend you for your good performance in the second half of the first half. You defended the offense of the Triple Crown team. Then consider that you only have one day in the team and can only concede one goal. I have nothing to complain about. Now." Dunn first gave these people a candied date, and then...

"But." He turned around. "Don't forget what our goal is for this game? It's not a small loss here, or even a draw with the home team. I hope you understand a little--" He raised his right index finger, "The national team and the club team The difference. When you play in your respective clubs, what you have to face is a long season, with at least 38 games per year. In the process, draws and defeats are allowed. It doesn’t matter if this game is lost. , We can win the next game. But the national team is different, here you are allowed to make mistakes and lose the space is very small, I don’t know how many of you can finally enter my national team squad, but I hope you can develop a habit here-you must try your best to win any game."

He smiled. "From now on I am the head coach of England. You must remember this. I am a person who likes victory and hates failure, and my team has to like victory and hate failure."

The players looked at him silently.

"Does anyone like to fail?" he asked.

Someone shook his head.

"Look, we now have a common language and a common goal." Dunn spread his hands, "Defensively counterattack in the second half, they will definitely use the wing to threaten our goal. We will use their two wings in turn. Time."

Dunn is very familiar with Nottingham Forest. Even if he changed the head coach now, Dunn still found that the Forest team had not changed much through observations in the first half. At least the best wing attack is maintained well. Wasn't the only goal for the Forest team initiated by a wide attack?

"Less too many passes in the midfield, more top shots, and as long as possible." Dunn talked about British long passes that were ridiculed by countless people before. But it is good to deal with the increasingly delicate Nottingham Forest.

Martin O'Neill has instilled a beauty in Nottingham Forest. Football is refreshing. His work for more than a month was not in vain. But what he didn't notice was that the Nottingham Forest is slowly losing one of the most important things.

"You play harder, don't be afraid of injury! How can you be injured? You are the active player, not them. Only the passive player will be injured. So if you are afraid of injury the more likely you are to be injured. Nothing!"

"Shaheen has good passing skills, but he has suffered a serious injury and still has some scruples about physical contact. You can grasp this. You can use more close-fitting on him, and small moves are necessary to prevent him from passing the ball comfortably. Mi Techel’s technique and header are good, but regardless of his height, his physical resistance is very weak, and physical fitness is his weakness, forcing him to run non-stop, to fight against him, so that he can use his strength. With this, the more he goes to the back, the less threatening he will be. Abangraho is fast, but his shot is rough, there is nothing to worry about, just don’t let him start the ball from the wing, jam Mitchell , It’s tantamount to stuck Abang Raho..." Dunn analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of all the players in Nottingham Forest one by one and told them how to deal with them. Except for the new players who joined the team this summer, he almost Said everyone all over. He is very familiar with Nottingham Forest. If you are familiar, you don't need to do your homework in advance. These things are easy to come by, and you can tell as much as you want.

Then he talked about George Wood.

He got stuck.

He didn't know what to say. He knows Wood very well, but he can't tell how to deal with this kid. He waved his hand and could only say nothing, which disappointed and confused the players who were originally full of expectations.

※※※

Martin O'Neal was not very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, because he played a 1-0 with the main lineup. We must know that their opponent is the third-tier England team.

If Tony Dunn were here, he would definitely swear directly, telling them that playing such a bad team would lead them by one goal and end the first half. But O'Neal can't do this. If he does, his approval rating in the locker room will definitely plummet.

It is so unfair. The more Tang En scolded, the more attractive he became, and the others had to wait on him carefully.

After O'Neill euphemistically expressed his dissatisfaction, he rearranged his tactics. He thinks that Dunn will insist on defensive counterattacks in the second half. For someone who has studied him thoroughly, it is not difficult to guess this. Generally speaking, the defensive counterattack is only used when his team is leading, but Dunn always uses the same when he is behind by a goal. On the one hand, he ensures that he does not continue to lose the ball. On the other hand, he uses sneak attacks to equalize the score and then play. Disorder the layout of the opponent. The hateful thing is that he has been successful and tried again and again.

O'Neal's order to the Forest team was to start the game and strive for the first goal. If the situation is not right, then shrink the defense line and deal with Dunn in the midfield. Anyway, if you fight for the midfield, Nottingham Forest will definitely win.

After talking about the tactics, O'Neal repeated his request again: "This game must be won!"

The players looked at each other and suddenly felt that this was not a friendly match to celebrate the opening of the Crimson Stadium...
