Godfather Of Champions

The new season has started for half a month, and it's the national team match day.

Dunn is now worrying about the team's roster.

In the first three rounds of the league, many people were injured. Wayne Rooney suffered a thigh contusion and had to rest for a week. Michael Carrick suffered a knee sprain. It is optimistic that he would have to rest for two weeks. It didn't take long for Bentley to recover from his injury. It was the same as last time. The old problem-the leg ligament strain, did not heal for at least one month. Downing suffered a calf strain in the match against Wales on August 24 and missed the game for two weeks. In addition, Terry also received a red card in that match and will be suspended for two games.

All injured have to be replaced, and suitable substitutes need to be found.

So Chris Cohen received a call from the national team for the first time, asking him to pack up and go to London to report, and join the national team to Macedonia.

Although he was the first team player when Nottingham Forest won the Triple Crown, he has a steady chance of playing. But he has never been selected for the England team. After all, there are Tangning and James Milner in this position, but he is relatively mediocre, with well-balanced abilities in all aspects. His only advantage may be that he is actively defending and not sparing his physical strength.

Dunn recruited another player from the Forest team and continued to be cronyism. But now he has been criticized a little less because his team continues to win. As long as it can win, who cares whether he intends to replace the England national team with Nottingham Forest?

Cohen was a little flattered, and then he made sure that he was not dreaming and that this was not a whole-person reality show. Because after the FA called him, Dunn's call also followed.

"Chris. I brought you from the reserve team to the first team, and now I also transferred you from the forest team to the national team. To be honest, I am under a lot of pressure. If you do not perform well, I will Being scolded bloody. I don't care about it, but your bad performance will definitely make the England team become disunity..."

Cohen knew what Dunn meant, and he replied: "Don't worry, boss. I won't shame you!"

Cohen was replacing Tang Ning, who had left the team due to injury, but Dunn could not guarantee him a chance to play, because competition in the same position was not small.

Both James Milner and Walcott can play the left midfielder. If you want to represent England for the first time, you need to use all your strength in training to impress Dunn and persuade other doubters.

Mork is envious of Cohen being selected for the national team. You must know that his position in the Forest team is now relatively strong, but the boss never called him once. Even if Bentley was injured twice, he used it. Walcott came instead.

Terry was injured, Manchester City's Michael Richards replaced him in the national team. Previously, due to his ups and downs, he has been hovering at the door of the national team. Although he is very talented and the voice of being selected for the national team is also very high, Don Enning is willing to offend half of the Manchester people by not recruiting Richards into the national team.

As a young star, Richards has long been famous in the Premier League and even in European football, and he was often selected for the national team in the Capello era. In addition to not getting any decent honor in the club, he is considered to be the best among his peers. This experience makes him a little arrogant, and sometimes his mind is not on playing football.

Dunn didn't believe in evil, so he wanted to kill the power of the Manchester City deputy captain. So since he joined the England team, Richards has never been selected to the national team. So much so that the Manchester media analyzed whether Dunn had any contradiction with Richards.

Dunn never admitted this, and Richards occasionally complained. Well now, he was called into the national team. Although he replaced Terry, he finally bought this door and was selected for the first time since Tony Dunn coached the national team.

With the first time there will be a second time, as long as he can grasp the opportunity.

Michael Carrick was unable to participate in the national team game due to injury, Tottenham Hotspur's Delphi line of fire reinforcements. Rooney's replacement is Everton's top scorer James Vaughan. Bentley's successor is Matt Derbycher from Blackburn.

With such a team, Dunn flew to Skopje, the capital of Macedonia.

※※※

Even at home, Macedonia cannot pose any threat to England. This is the thinking of all England fans.

The English players think so too. In the previous ten qualifiers, England has achieved an impressive record of nine wins and one draw. It is not a problem to qualify for the group. They have long since paid attention to their opponents in group matches.

After the game started, it seemed to develop like this.

Only seven minutes after the kick-off, Walcott made a pass from the side after a breakthrough, and Mitchell easily jumped for a header. England lead 1:0.

After taking the lead early, England's players began to relax, somewhat absent-minded.

This made Dunn very dissatisfied, walking around on the sidelines, shouting with teeth to order the team to continue attacking.

Macedonia did much better than when they played England away, threatening England's goal many times in the middle of the game.

It wasn't until the 72nd minute that England took advantage of a corner kick. Richards, who replaced Terry, scored a header and locked the score at 2:0, which basically ended the game.

Richards was very excited after the goal. He ran to the TV camera and yelled. After being left out by Dunn for a year, he finally used this goal to prove his worth.

After the game, Dunn did not praise the team's performance, but in the locker room relentlessly satirize them.

"There were 16 shots in the audience, and you only got three kicks within the range of the goal frame!" Can he not be angry with this statistics? "I should be happy that we are so efficient and scored two goals within the three-legged goal frame? Or regretted that you missed the other nine-footed ball? There are four feet blocked...this is your stats Statistics, gentlemen! Facing a small Macedonia, you can all play like this, how can you face a stronger opponent?"

A group of players were silent by Dunn. They also knew that they played very average in this game. What the boss said is not bad, because when they faced Macedonia, they couldn't cheer up.

Dunn looked at this group of players, and he knew in his heart that no matter what he said when he played against a team that was too weak, the players would definitely underestimate the enemy. They also have their own small abacus, it is impossible to listen to everything. They are real people, not puppets in their own hands.

"I don't want to see a game like today anymore."

Dunn dropped these words and left the locker room.

A group of players looked at each other, but still didn't quite understand that even if they underestimated the enemy, after all, they won the game. There is no need for the boss to be so angry, right?

How do they know that Dunn's most important thing is the team's mental will, can lose but shake the will. It is not terrible to underestimate the enemy, but the rambling attitude of the game is terrifying. Once a habit is formed, it will give the team a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Only the Forest players understand why the boss is dissatisfied. That's what the boss asked for when he was in the Forest.

England won Macedonia, although the process did not satisfy Dunn, the result was good. Now they have 25 points, ranking first in the group. As the second-ranked Denmark and fifth-placed Ireland shook hands 1:1 in this round, they only accumulated 20 points. The difference between the first and second points widened to five points.

Because of the next round of the game, England will go to an away game to challenge Denmark. This is a six-point game, so as long as England can beat Denmark, they will advance ahead of time with two rounds left.

In the eyes of the English media, the England team has won tickets to Spain. Because playing Denmark away is not a problem at all. After a round of qualifiers, they found that there was no team in this group that could cause trouble to Tony Dunn's team.

Whether it is Denmark or Serbia, they were previously considered a strong team, but they are vulnerable to the powerful England team.

The media in England became noisy again. Begin to clamor that this is the strongest England team in history. They will surely sweep the European continent. Serbia and Denmark can't stop the team's progress. Tony Dunn's undefeated games since his team will continue.

Dun En was tired of such arguments.

But Dunn did feel a little nervous for the next game. Being too optimistic in the media will definitely affect the mood of the team, look at what happened in Skopje. Fortunately, their opponent in that game was only Macedonia. What would happen if they were changed to Denmark? The Vikings will not easily let go of that opportunity at home.

What worries him even more is that this kind of pride will bring more terrible results when it comes to the European Cup.

※※※

After criticizing the team's performance in Skopje, the players found that the smile on the owner's face had decreased significantly.

During the interview, the boss was a lot more cautious when talking about Denmark. He always emphasized that Denmark is a strong team, he respects Denmark very much, and his posture cannot be lower. The most arrogant head coach would take the initiative to show weakness, which is really shocking.

The players talked about this.

"The boss's behavior is abnormal..."

"What's so abnormal? He did it for us!"

"Did it for us?"

"Don't want us to underestimate the enemy."

"Why do you lighten us with Denmark?"

"It's hard to say... the team has won consecutively. I don't think the game against Denmark is a problem..."

"It was originally, it is not a problem to qualify. I don't know what the boss is worried about..."

"I can't afford an opponent who can win with any kick."

"Look, you underestimated the enemy!"

"what……"

Discussions like this happen from time to time among the players.

The day before the start of the game, Dunn gathered the whole team for a tactical meeting in the hotel where the England team stayed. As a result, he didn't talk about tactics, and his first sentence surprised the players.

"I was thinking, should we deliberately lose to Denmark?"

Dunn touched his chin to talk and didn't look like he was joking. Everyone was shocked, his eyes widened and opened his mouth to look at their head coach, not knowing why the boss said that.

"Anyway, we will definitely be able to qualify. It doesn't matter to lose a game. I don't care much about the unbeaten record. It doesn't make sense. Compared with this, I hope to pour cold water on the dizzy media... But are you willing to do this?"

He stared at the players and asked.

As the captain, Wood stood up: "I don't like this, boss."

"reason?"

"I don't like losing, much less deliberately losing."

Wood's words were approved by many players, and they all agreed.

"Actually, boss..." Mitchell also stood up: "Don't worry about us being tempted by the media. We are not kids and we don't understand anything."

His words also got the approval and echo of many players.

Dunn opened his hands: "Am I worrying? I have seen that emotion among you. Some of you must think that Denmark is a team that can win any game, right?"

Some of the players curled their necks and lowered their heads.

"Since none of you want to lose, then I need to make some adjustments to the starting lineup..."

In this way, Dunn put all the players of Nottingham Forest in the starting lineup. Joe Martock, Chris Cohen, Mitchell, Abang Raho, and captain George Wood.

Facing the starting lineup with the majority of Nottingham Forest players, he shouted: "You know what I want!"

"victory!!"

※※※

Denmark has tried to resist, so they scored a goal.

However, England's counterattack storm was too violent, and the heavy storms made the Danes unable to lift their heads.

2:1, they defeated Denmark in the away game, won the victory of this game, and thus obtained the right to qualify two rounds in advance.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the English players rushed into the court and hugged their teammates who had been running on the court for 90 minutes. They knew that no matter what other teams played, They have successfully entered the European Cup finals in Spain.

Dunn also took a sigh of relief, stood up, clenched his fists and waved, and then he was embraced by his colleagues in the coaching staff. The first goal in the contract was achieved.

The next thing he has to consider is the European Cup.

The Chief Executive of the Football Association of England, Sean Barclays, stood up and applauded on the podium, smiling and showing off his insight to the people next to him: "If I didn't call him back then, how could there be today? "

"People say that Tony Dunn is rebellious, but under the leadership of Mr. Barclays, I can't see this at all." Barclays "Long Yan Joy", the flattering man under him.

In the eyes of these people, Dunn has been uncharacteristically honest for a year. If it weren't for Mr. Sean Barclay's personal charm, who could do it?

※※※

The news of England qualifying early must have stimulated several other teams in this group who want to qualify.

In a contest on the second day, Wales, who was originally ranked fourth, defeated Serbia with a difficult 2-1 away game. Taking advantage of Denmark's loss, he jumped to second place in the group and led Denmark by two points. There is hope to directly qualify for the European Cup as second in the group.

It is worth mentioning that Wales' two goals all came from one person.

Gareth Bale broke through Serbia's gate with two direct free kicks in the game and almost put Wales to the second place in the group by himself.

There is a lot of excitement in Wales, because their team finally has the opportunity to participate in the international competition. Bale's reputation in Wales, who scored two goals for the team, has risen to a very remarkable height, and praises are overwhelming. He only remembered the appointment he made with Dun En on the sidelines.

I must go to Spain! (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!)
