Godfather Of Champions

"... Freddy Eastwood, once a legendary shooter in Nottingham Forest, is now the acting head coach. At this moment, he is using actual actions to prove the media's prior predictions-the first game led by Coach Eastwood. The game was lost. Nottingham Forest has lost four games in a row.... Now the team is panicking. It is said that Balotelli has officially submitted a transfer application to the club and hopes to leave. Rumors about George Wood's retirement have also continued. No clarification from him..."

Kenny Burns’ Forest Bar is very lively in the evening, and fans of the nearby Forest team will gather here after a day of work to discuss the recent events of the Forest team. If the forest team scores well, it will be full of cheers at this time. Everyone raises their eyebrows and holds a glass of beer. It is truly happy to come and return. If the forest team loses, then there must be a groan in the bar, everyone is sighing, complaining about their bad luck, or complaining about a player's poor performance in the game, or it is a cameo to the head coach and criticizing the ball. The team's tactics are wrong.

But whether it is winning or losing, the atmosphere here is very hot.

Tonight is different.

Quietly, he could hear everything clearly on TV.

Faced with the news broadcast on TV, the fans' most reaction is nothing more than a sigh.

What else can they do?

Wood is in bad condition because his mother is critically ill, can they still curse Wood? Eastwood is the team's legendary shooter, but he lacks experience as a coach, and the responsibility should not be borne by him alone. It seems that only the club chairman is worthy of scolding, but they have long been bored with scolding over the years. No matter how fierce the scolding is here, they can't shake the position of Evan Daggerty. What's the point besides wasting saliva?

Thinking of such a situation, everyone lost Tan Xing. More than twenty old men, in the bar can only immerse themselves in drinking sullen wine.

"Is there no way to save our team!" A young man couldn't stand such a depressed atmosphere and suddenly stood up and shouted.

The companion next to him raised his head and glanced at him, then continued to lower his head to drink, or simply stared at the TV screen in a daze.

This question has been asked countless times in the past four years. What happened?

But today this young man seems to have come prepared. He stood up and found that no one responded to him, so he turned his gaze to the other side of the bar. Then he picked up the wine glass, pushed away the companion who was blocking him, and walked staggeringly.

Dunn was drinking juice in front of the bar and chatting quietly with Kenny Burns. Now that Shania and Teresa are still in the United States, she doesn't want to stay in the huge villa all day long. Except for the hospital, he spends all his time in this bar.

But he is no longer the team head coach, and he deliberately keeps a little distance from John and the others. He does not get involved in their circle. He comes only to chat with Kenny. If John and Bill want him, they will come alone. Will not drag him to their side.

When talking, everyone will carefully avoid one topic-the forest team coach.

Today, however, such a young man who had a high drink rushed in front of Dun En and put the wine glass in front of him again. Then turned his head and stared at Dunn: "Tor...Tony!"

Dunn turned to look at the uninvited guest.

"Come back!" the young man shouted. "come back!"

John got up quickly to stop the impulsive young man who drank too much. "Joseph, you..."

"Come back and lead Nottingham Forest!" Tears even leaked from the eyes of the excited young man. "Come back and bring us..." Before he finished saying this, he suddenly tilted his body and slid off the high stool-already drunk.

At this time, Fat John rushed to Dunn's side and helped the young man up. "Joseph talks a lot when he gets drunk!" He explained to Dunn, and then he forced Joseph back to the seat over there.

"He didn't say'Joseph talks nonsense when he gets drunk.'" Kenny Burns said beside him.

Dunn did not express any dissatisfaction with Burns's move. He looked at John and the young man's back. They returned to the fans. It seemed that not many people blamed Joseph's impulse. On the contrary, some people were sneaking a glance. To my side, I want to observe my reaction.

Dunn thought they must not see anything, because his face was expressionless.

Eastwood did not expect to welcome such a guest in the evening. He asked his wife Serem to take the children upstairs to sleep, leaving the living room to him and the guest who visited late at night.

"I thought about it for a long time. Although I have retired, I am still paying attention to football and Nottingham Forest. I think I might be able to provide you with a little help, Freddie." Dunn, who sat opposite, looked at East. Wood said.

Eastwood smiled bitterly: "You came back to coach the team, it is the greatest help to me... Well, I know this request is a bit unrealistic. In fact, I don't think I am suitable to be a head coach... You know what, boss Before the first game I led the team, I forgot to tell the players the starting list. It was Jimmy who reminded me so that I didn’t make a joke. Now that I think about it, I was really terrible..."

He was a little depressed. As a head coach, he has shown such a big ugly in front of the players, which has become a psychological shadow for him in recent days.

Dunn laughed: "What are you, Freddie? In my first game coaching the first team, I was knocked to the ground by my own player, and I left the coaching bench in full view and went home. After the game. I became the laughingstock of the whole of England. I went to the bar to relieve my boredom and I was even laughed at. Don’t take such small things to heart. The job of the coach is actually very simple. If you can lead the team to victory, even if you never Arranging a starting list can become part of your legendary personality."

"The problem is here, Boss. I just don't know how to lead the team to victory. You know that when I watch them play off the court, I want to go up and help them score and win. But as the head coach, I I don't know what to do..." Eastwood was very depressed. Such sentiments are rare in this optimistic gypsy.

"You are inexperienced, and..." Dun En suddenly thought of a question, "No one around you can help you very well." At the beginning, he was also a rookie, but he has old Ian and Walker. The player has rich experience, and he has honed in the forest team's grassroots coaches for many years. After the training of many head coaches, it is Dunn's turn to enjoy his success. However, looking at the current forest team, personnel affairs are in chaos, excellent coaches are lost one after another, and are poached by other clubs. An excellent coach like Chris Lak was fired just because his performance was slightly unsatisfactory. Evan did not even let him stay. In the forest team.

Although Eastwood has also been a coach for four years, the difference between the manager and the coach in England is too far.

Eastwood didn't want to let the topic continue on himself, he suddenly asked: "Come to me so late, it explains one thing, boss."

"whats the matter?"

"You can't let go of Nottingham Forest."

Dunn glanced at Eastwood: "Of course I can't let it go. I'm a **** fan of the Forest team. I buy all the packages for each season."

"It's better to come back if you can't let it go." Eastwood looked at Dunn's eyes and said this.

"I'm retired, Freddie..."

"No one has stipulated that they cannot return after retirement."

"I want to accompany my daughter..."

"Aren't you in the UK now, is your daughter in the US?"

Dunn shook his head: "Stop talking about this. If you don't understand anything when coaching, you can ask me. I will tell you my experience without reservation..."

But today's Eastwood seems to be specifically against Dunn, and another question that is difficult to answer: "George is the core of the team. If his condition is not restored, the team's performance will not be stable. You Is there any way, boss?"

Dunn was speechless. He knew why Wood was out of state, but he couldn't solve such a thing. As long as Sophia's condition does not improve, Wood's condition will not improve.

This is not a problem that can be solved by skills and tactics, and it is not even something a coach can do.

When it comes to Wood, Dunn remembers what Wood said to him in the backyard of the hospital that day: "If you want me not to retire, just come back."

Did they make an appointment? How come you let me come back when you see me?

※※※

In fact, when Dunn was the head coach of England, not many people would say this to him, but when he retired and stayed home, he was immediately targeted. He can say that he is retired, but others may not understand it this way.

For example, the next day he received a call from Tang Jing. The content of the call made him think that a thunderbolt was in his mind.

The Chinese Football Association contacted him through Tang Jing and wanted him to coach the Chinese national team!

"I just spread the word, Mr. Dunn."

"You can reject them directly, just say that you can't contact me." Tang En didn't want to get in touch with the Chinese Football Association. He had a bad reputation...

"I'm also Chinese after all. To be honest, I think it will be fun if you coach the Chinese national team..." Tang Jing on the phone was obviously smiling.

"That's not okay, I don't want to lose it in the evening." Dunn refused very simply. The onlookers found it interesting, and he, the client, could not order it.

Tang Jing was indeed spreading the word. As soon as Tang En refused, she did not persuade anything, and readily agreed to reply to the Football Association. The reason, naturally, was that Dunn hadn't rested enough yet and didn't want to come out to coach again.

It's just that some Chinese media learned from Tang Jing that the Chinese Football Association went to Tang En and wanted him to coach. At that time, the media ridiculed the Football Association's overriding efforts, except that it didn't directly say "what kind of virtue it is to take a **** and take a picture of yourself", but the meaning is almost the same. The only government agency in China that can scold as much as it wants without taking responsibility is the Chinese Football Association. Although FIFA stipulates that every country’s football association must be a private organization, China’s national conditions are special and the football association is a government unit.

Even if the Chinese Football Association's finding of Dunn to coach is over here for Dunn, I didn't expect that there would be a lot of trouble in China instead. It revolved around whether the Chinese Football Association should ask Dunn to coach, and whether Dunn should come. A series of issues such as China's coaching are hotly discussed in the media and on the Internet. Some people think that we should invite a high-level football coach like Dunn, otherwise Chinese football will stand still and will never be able to improve; some people think that for the virtues of the Chinese Football Association, no matter how good a famous coach is, it is useless. If Dunn really comes It’s bad for his reputation. Others claim that the heads of the Chinese Football Association have gotten into **** again. They don’t want to invite Tony Dunn. Can they manage it? Don't say that they want to delegate power, it is absolutely impossible, unless the Chinese men's football team wins the World Cup... But this has become an endless loop, in short, it is meaningless.

In fact, it was Tang Jing who deliberately leaked the news. She just wanted to make the Football Association show up again. Chinese football has not improved for so many years. The leaders of the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports have changed one after another, but each leader considers only his own black hat. No one is out of consideration for the sport of football. Chinese football Can only stand still, or even regress slightly. She has long since retired from the media circle and devoted herself to being a wife and son in the UK, but when she talks about Chinese football, she is also angry and quiet, so she can only vent her dissatisfaction in this way.

Dunn doesn't care about the turmoil in China after he refused the invitation of the Football Association, but his mind is still on the Forest team.

Eastwood said that the biggest help is that Dunn came back to coach the Forest team, and he himself was still the coach. But this is obviously impossible, Dunn helps Eastwood in another way. He and Eastwood studied the current problems encountered by the forest team and found solutions.

Dunn told Eastwood that if both Wood and Balotelli are unreliable, they will be decisively removed from the starting lineup and replaced by second-tier players from the youth team and the reserve team. They are obviously better than the current ones. The first team has more fighting spirit. Now the forest team is not having a problem with their skills and tactics. At least this is not the biggest problem, but the fighting spirit and psychology.

He devoted himself to helping Eastwood, but he didn't notice the way Eastwood looked at him, nor did he think about whether it is appropriate for him to interfere with other people's work as a retired person. He just hopes the performance of the Forest team. Be better, don't worry so many fans like him.

After Eastwood listened to Dunn and replaced half of the first-team lineup, the second game really stopped the downward trend. The away game relied on tenacious defense and overall combat to draw the powerful Manchester United 0:0. Although the scene is ugly and there is no offense at all, they did not continue to lose after all, and they are still facing the strong Manchester United, which is even more valuable. So after this result came out, many media were very surprised- -Before the game they predicted that the Forest would be humiliated by Manchester United at Old Trafford, just like Liverpool.

Both Wood and Balotelli were not in the starting lineup in that game, and Wood was not replaced until the last ten minutes. This also gave a lot of opportunities for the media to reverse their old accounts. They found out the contradiction between Wood and Eastwood and used it to hype, and analyzed that after Eastwood came to power, Wood would be suppressed. There are rumors that Wood is going to retire, so it seems that the rumors will soon become reality...

Of course, these are all nonsense. Eastwood is not the kind of person who avenges private revenge. Besides, he and Wood are already nothing. Not to mention Dunn’s idea for not letting Wood start. Dunn didn’t even want to give it a minute. Wood, I want him to be completely calm and calm. It is Eastwood who thinks that if he wants to keep Wood in his shape, he still has to go up and kick.

But this time the media are really crows...

Just as the team stopped their four-game losing streak and returned to Nottingham from Manchester with confidence, Wood, who was with the team, received a call from the hospital.

His mother is critically ill. (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!)
