Godfather Of Champions

Although the league is still going on, George Wood's name has repeatedly made headlines. For a while, everyone doesn't care much about who will win the championship or who will be relegated. George Wood's injury is the most important thing. During this period, any news came out, and various rumors spread.

Some people say that George Wood's injury may affect his life, and even cause him to retire early.

Some people say that this is not a big deal at all, and that it will be fine at most for a month. Those who say that still give examples. Because he had suffered similar injuries before, he can swim in ten days and run in two weeks.

Some experts say that Wood’s injury will take three to six months to recover. Others have expressed different opinions, thinking that eight to ten weeks will be fine.

Today the media said that Wood missed the European Cup and England's title was doubtful. Tomorrow the same media will surprise to announce that George Wood is expected to recover before the European Cup.

The hearts of England fans are like a roller coaster ride. You never know if you wake up the next day and see good news or bad news.

Nottingham Forest has been forgotten, and they must have lost the ability to enter the European Champions Cup next season. But no one cares about their future. On the contrary, Evan Daggerty made a verbal promise to David Chris Lak: he will not be dismissed simply and rudely because of his results this season. After all, no one thought of Wood being injured...

Chris Lak did not believe the verbal promise of the club chairman. Think about how Flores left? In front of people, he said that the club's senior officials trusted the head coach and kicked him as a scapegoat when he turned around. Chris Lak is not a fool, let alone young and ignorant. He knows how deep the water is in this line, and he is ready for get out of class.

There is a lot of heated talk in the media, and the Football Association of England has to deal with the same question every day-"What is the specific injury of George Wood? How long will he be able to return to the stadium?"

If this goes on, it is obviously not conducive to England's preparations. So the FA approached George Wood, hoping that he would accept an interview to express some optimism and stabilize the hearts of the people.

Wood agreed. In an interview with BBC TV, he said that he was not frustrated because of the injury. He is actively cooperating with the treatment and trying to return to the court within two months.

As soon as his interview came out, the previous guesses were much quieter. The FA is very satisfied with Wood's statement, although they don't think Wood can really return to the court within two months. But how do they know that Wood is telling the truth?

Although Dunn has promised Wood that as long as he can get better within two months, he will sign up for him to go to Spain. But it was obviously unwise to put all the eggs in one basket, and Dunn was still making other preparations. If George Wood's recovery is not ideal and he cannot make the trip eventually, how can he adjust England's tactics?

This is not as simple as changing the counterpoint. There are a lot of people who can play midfield in England, but someone who can play Wood's role is hard to find.

Gerrard's experience and abilities can serve the same purpose, but he is too old. At the age of thirty-five, he cannot be the core of England. Injuries and physical fitness will be factors that bother him.

Gareth Barry is also thirty-four years old.

If it does reach that point, Dunn may have to give up the core tactics of a certain player and switch to a simpler style of play. The role of the midfielder is more to intercept the opponent's attack, rather than to organize the attack. .

He will use young people more instead of relying on old guys like Gerald and Barry. He will emphasize the whole, instead of relying on a single individual. The core role is irreplaceable, but it can be shared by eleven people.

In fact, Dunn is now in a very conflicted mood. On the one hand, he hopes that Wood can recover as soon as possible and catch up with the European Cup, so that he can win the championship. On the other hand, he does not want to ruin Wood's career because of a European Cup.

Dunn admitted that he was not a saint, he was a bit selfish. He thinks this European Cup is his best opportunity. Who knows how things are going in a few years? The chance to win the championship is right in front of him, but because of Wood's accidental injury, he has become illusory. He can't say that he doesn't care.

How could things become like this? How did the invincible Tiejingang, who has never been injured, fall down?

This is simply a domino, and one card fell, causing a very terrible chain reaction. For the first time, Dunn felt that he had no confidence to tell the public that his goal was to win the championship.

Don't think that Dunn is incapable, and don't doubt that the other players in England are waste.

Today's George Wood, under his creation, is equivalent to the former Zidane in France to England. Regardless of France who won the World Cup and the European Cup back then, a group of big-name stars in the team has a lot of scenery. Once Zidane was injured, Henry, Wiltord and Trezeguet were unable to bring a victory to the French team. The golden boot shooters of the three major leagues even collectively misfired and failed to score a goal. Finally, they were in the group. The game was eliminated and went home.

When Zidane was thirty-four years old, when everyone thought that the French team could rely on Henry, it was Zidane who sent the French team to the German World Cup finals step by step, although in the end it was a head bump. Trazi was sent off, causing the French team to lose the gold cup. But without him, the French team would not even have a chance to win the Gold Cup.

George Wood and Zidane play completely different styles, but their roles and status in the team are the same.

Zidane is irreplaceable, and so is George Wood.

Dunn and Professor Wallace, the doctor in charge of treating Wood, kept in touch by phone. They basically talked on the phone once in three days. Wallace informed Dunn of the latest progress of the treatment. The situation is not very optimistic, Wallace is worried that Wood's injury before the opening of the European Cup will not be thorough.

Now Dunn can't do anything, just wait. Although this waiting makes him impetuous.

There are many English fans who are waiting with this mood just like him. The media said for a while that Wood's injury had recovered smoothly, and later that the injury had been repeated, and the prospects for recovery were not optimistic. The fans don't know who to trust.

In such a messy atmosphere, the 2015-2016 Premier League season is over. Nottingham Forest, which lost George Wood, also lost its backbone. The team's performance in the final rounds of the league was ups and downs, and ultimately did not qualify for the UEFA Champions League. They can only play in the UEFA Cup next season.

In fact, this result is not bad for most teams, after all, there are still European games to play. But for Nottingham Forest, which has become accustomed to victory, it is a complete failure.

Since it failed, someone must be responsible for it.

On the second day after the end of the league, Nottingham Forest officially announced the termination of the work contract with David Chris Lak. The club thanked Chris Lak for his contribution in this season and a half and wished him good luck.

The breakup seemed friendly, but there was a chill that could not be concealed in the usual thank you speech.

No one expressed concern about the whereabouts of Chris Lak, because everyone was crazy about the progress of George Wood's injury.

On May 12, there is a full month before the opening of the European Cup and less than a month before George Wood was injured.

When Wood was wearing slippers and appeared in front of the media camera on crutches, England fans were still worried about him, worried that he would not be able to catch up with the European Cup that started on June 10. That was the news that he left the hospital and went home.

Professor Wallace came forward and said that they would try their best to allow Wood to catch the flight to Spain, but he could not make any guarantees.

"I can't guarantee that he will be able to set foot on the court in a month, nor can I guarantee that he will still catch up with this European Cup. I don't want you to put pressure on our work."

Although other European leagues are not over yet, the focus of attention of the English is no longer there.

No Premier League team has reached the Champions League final this season, so there is little interest in the Champions League final on May 20. Dunn is very happy about this. The Champions League final is on May 20th, and the opening date of the European Cup is June 10th. The interval between them is too short. If his players want to play the Champions League final, then no matter it is Neither physical stamina nor coordination can reach the best state, this is not what Dunn wants to see. He is very happy that the internationals of other countries will fight to the death in the Champions League. He is so profitable.

But when he thinks of George Wood's injury, he has no such thoughts...

Dunn was sitting in George Wood's house at this time, facing Wood.

Sophia was busy preparing afternoon tea for the two in the kitchen. The strong aroma of tea and cookies floated out of the kitchen, making Dunn couldn't help but loosen his nose. Shania doesn't make afternoon tea for him, because she has no habit of drinking afternoon tea...

"Your spirit looks good?" Dunn said, looking at the opposite Wood.

"I have always been like this."

Dunn smiled. Wood seemed to be in a relaxed mood, and his pressure was not small. Recently, he dare not switch on his phone. There are bound to be countless calls to him for the latest news when it is switched on. He hides wherever he goes, for fear of being recognized. Because he really didn't know how he should answer the media's questions about George Wood.

He has been talking on the phone with Professor Wallace. Generally speaking, there is less good news and more bad news. Professor Wallace mentioned more than once that it would be more and more difficult for Wood to recover before June 9.

"Hey, George..." Dunn thought about it and asked, "You haven't thought about it... I mean in case, if you really can't participate in the European Cup, what should you do?"

Wood's answer was unexpectedly quick: "I never thought about it."

Dunn rubbed his temples, and Wood was so relaxed. Anyway, I recognize the path in front of me and walked until it's dark...

"Uh, George. How much do you know about your own injury recovery?" Dunn was worried that Wood would naively think that because he is physically strong, his injury would recover faster.

"Not very good." Unexpectedly, Wood knew so clearly. "Wallace told me that even if I can recover before June 10th, running and playing football will hurt."

"Since you know..."

"It's just pain." It seems that if it's just pain, Wood will insist on playing.

Dunn was speechless.

Wood was aware of Dunn’s intention to find him, and he asked, “You won’t come and tell me you don’t plan to keep your promise, will you?”

"Uh..." Dunn felt a little embarrassed, he really thought so.

But when he saw Wood's face, he couldn't speak.

Sophia came out with tea and biscuits, and relieved Dunn. They stopped discussing injuries and football. Instead, they sat together and chatted casually and talked about daily life.

Sophia was very happy every time Dun En came, her face flushed with excitement, and she talked more than usual.

Now Dunn can calmly face Sophia's enthusiasm.

After drinking afternoon tea together, Dunn decided to leave. Before leaving, he called Wood, intending to talk to him alone again.

Wood leaned on crutches and Dunn came to the door.

Dunn lowered his head and considered for a while, then raised his head and said to Wood, "George, no one knows what the future will be like. I hope that no matter what decision I make in the end, you can understand me..."

Wood nodded: "I will go to Spain."

Dunn felt a headache. "I hope so too, but not everything can be achieved. I hope you can have a longer career. You are only thirty years old. For others, thirty years old is starting to decline. But it is different for you. , I believe you are still on your way to the top."

Dunn reached out and touched Wood's head, he seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

Wood did not answer him, Dunn said goodbye to Sophia who was standing behind him, then opened the door and walked out.

After Dunn drove away, Sophia gently hugged her son from behind, resting her chin on Wood's broad and strong shoulders: "George, are you really going to Spain?"

"Yes, mother."

"But your feet..."

"It's okay, Mom. It will be good, it will be good." Wood gently patted Sophia's hand on his waist, comforting her.

Dunn was still blocked by many media at his door. They have asked Dunn to talk about George Wood's problem. If it is confirmed that Wood's injury cannot play in the European Cup, what countermeasures can Dunn have? Everyone now knows that George Wood is the core of England.

Dunn refused to answer these questions, he drove the car into his yard in embarrassment.

Shania came out to pick him up, and she couldn't help whistling when she saw this formation.

"Did you go to George?"

Dunn nodded, "I will announce the list of training camps the day after tomorrow, I need to confirm it."

"Then the result of the confirmation?"

"No result."

"Huh?" Shania looked up at her husband. His frown looked distressed.

"Before I went I thought I had made a decision, but after I went, I found that I didn't make any decision at all. A trip for nothing."

Shania took Dun En's arm and walked back to the house with him. The door was closed, shutting out the peeping eyes of all the media.

"Then you write George's first name, isn't it just right for him to be injured? If the injury doesn't heal, then change..."

Dunn squeezed Shania's ear, "How can it be so casual? Once this list is confirmed, there is no way to change it."

Shania rolled her eyes. She didn't know much about football, and it was embarrassing to say the wrong thing, but it didn't matter, she had a remedy.

Dunn wanted to continue to laugh at his little wife, but was gagged by the other's wet red lips.

"Well..." (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please log on to www.qidian.com, more chapters, author support, and genuine reading!)
