Godfather Of Champions

Many problems can be found in the training, and these problems can definitely be seen thoroughly as a TV commentator or bystander.

For Balotelli, for example, what surprised him was that this kid didn't mean to be passive, but he was very active in training. Before, Dunn thought that this kid would definitely go against him, but his current performance surprised him. He originally wanted to stare at Balotelli specifically, just waiting to grab his pigtails, and then kill the chickens.

It seems that I don't understand the players' hearts at all, it is really troublesome.

Thiago Silva, Dunn, is not very worried. Does the 33-year-old central defender still want to be the main force? Put him directly on the bench, with himself and Wood in the locker room, can he turn over any tricks? For foreign legions, the strategy of division and collapse is enough.

The formation of the foreign legion is related to the lack of a coach with sufficient dominance in the locker room. Because they couldn't find a reliable core, they each attached themselves to the people they thought were strong, and gradually formed small groups. Now that the dressing room in Nottingham Forest has a strong man again, those people will have to reconsider their choices.

Dunn decided to find Eastwood to find out about this Balotelli situation. After all, Chris Lak has been in the team for a short time, and there is no way to understand everyone's situation. Eastwood has worked for the Forest for five seasons, and he knows all the players who joined the team after Dunn left.

"Balotelli?" Eastwood frowned when Dunn asked about this man. Dunn noticed his unconscious little movement.

"He is indeed very talented..." Eastwood groaned, considering his words. "But this person is a bit arrogant, and always wants to leave the team, the popularity of the team is very poor."

"It can be seen." Dunn recalled the situation of the two days of training. During the training interval, basically no one would take the initiative to talk to Balotelli. When training in groups, few people were willing to talk to him. Grouped into groups. But what he wants to ask is another question: "Is he also so active in his previous training?"

Eastwood thought for a while, then shook his head: "No."

"Hmm..." Dunn fell silent afterwards. He didn't continue to consult with Eastwood, because he was roughly a little bit in his heart.

"Do you want to sell Balotelli, boss?" Eastwood was guessing that Dunn asked him what he was going to do about the black Italian.

Dunn shook his head: "No. Now when the team is hiring people, I just think that there are not enough people. How can I sell people? This winter transfer period, I will not sell anyone."

Then Dunn went to find some coaches to understand Balotelli's situation. He really didn't want to sell Balotelli, unless the two of them completely froze, just like he and Anelka had lost their trust in each other. As Eastwood said, this kid is a genius, for the current forest team, he needs his strength.

So Dun En not only didn't dismiss his idea, but hoped that he would use it for himself.

But just by talking to the coaches, I'm afraid there is nothing to tell. It seems that there must be a separate conversation with Balotelli. It's just that now he probably doesn't have much time to do this.

He took over the team midweek, and now it’s the weekend league.

Nottingham Forest’s away game against Aston Villa was not the highlight of a strong dialogue, but this game was temporarily selected by BBC TV to broadcast the game for free to the country. The reason is simple-this is Tony Dunn. The first game after returning to the Forest. It deserves attention.

A few days before the game, the media began to hype the game. Many Premier League coaches were asked what they thought of the retired Tony Dunn returning to the forest during interviews.

Everyone's answers were varied, some agreed, some said it didn't matter, and others thought that Dunn's return was a mistake, because he would never reach his previous height again.

"If I were him, I would stay at home honestly." Mourinho did not show the joy of meeting his opponent at all. "He is outdated." When facing the reporter's question, his expression was very cold, and he seemed to never know Tony Dunn.

"I welcome Tony's return. I personally think it is a very brave decision." Everton's head coach Moyes's words seem to make people think he and Dunn are in the same trench, but The next words made those Dunn's supporters not like to listen: "But we had better not have any hope of his leading results. It is already a victory for him to come back."

"I think it's boring for you to hype this topic. It's just the return of a head coach." Some people disagree with Dun En. The person who said this is John Robertson, now the head coach of Aston Villa. His team is about to meet Dunn's team. Of course, he does not want to let the crazy hype of the media interfere with his team. "He can't change the current Forest team overnight, nor can he make the Forest team the protagonist of the season again. What's the hype?"

Of course, it's not that no one is optimistic about Dunn.

"I don't think that the so-called Tony's return is just a show, I know him. If he decides to come back, then it must be well thought out. He must think that he can do his current job before nodding." Leeds United coach De S. Walker commented in an interview. He and Dunn are the golden partners of the England national team, and he really knows Dunn better than anyone else. "So I don't think he came out again to hype the reputation of the Forest team. Anyway, I want to remind you, be careful of him."

For these remarks, Dunn kept silent, neither counterattacked nor agreed. Because he has been busy straightening out the relationship within the team these days and has no time to cooperate with the media hype.

It seems to be to prove the bad remarks before. Tony Dunn lost the battle in the first game of his comeback. At Aston Villa’s home stadium, Villa Park, Nottingham Forest lost 1:2 to the home team, dropping to 17th place.

Many people who knew Dun En couldn't understand this game. For example, Mr. Mortensen, who was in charge of the game, shook his head many times during the game: "I don't understand what Dunn is thinking..."

No matter what situation the team faced, he just sat on the coach's bench and didn't see him get up to make an active adjustment throughout the game. So much so that some people ridiculed that the real Tony Dunn did not return to coaching in Nottingham Forest at all, only the wax figure of Dunn borrowed from Madame Windsor Wax Museum.

The tactics of the Forest team in this game were not much different from before, except that Balotelli returned to the front line and partnered with Mitchell. George Wood continued to sit in the middle of the town, and next to him was Gago. People did not see the forest team's sharp wing attack in the game. The team's offense was still concentrated in the middle, which caused a big congestion in the middle.

The Villa team is also happy to see the Forest team focus their offense on the middle of the heavy defense, so the game is much simpler for them.

Dunn used up three substitutions in the game, but it didn't make any difference. Mitchel was replaced by Abang Raho, and Balotelli stayed on the court for 90 minutes. Alex Teixeira replaced Gago and went up to hit the midfielder. Cohen replaced Vienadum and continued to strengthen the attack. After Cohen and Viinadum went up, the Forest team's wing attack improved slightly, but it was too late. The score was 0:2, and the Forest team fell behind.

As soon as the game ended, the reporters waited at the press conference site, excitedly looking forward to Dunn's comment on the failure of the game-he certainly couldn't get past this level.

Dunn sat on the stage and looked at the gloating reporters, knowing what they were expecting. Of course he can't leave in his sleeves, and that will only leave the media with eloquence to attack him.

"Aston Villa played well, so they won the game. We played badly, so we lost the game, that's it." His post-match evaluation was really "succinct and concise"...

The reporters didn't give up: "Can you tell me more about the bad method?"

In the face of such a provocation, Dunn didn't get furious. On the contrary, he analyzed the team's tactical problems very seriously. This surprised the media who were waiting for a good show.

"Our offenses are all piled up in the middle, too crowded..." Dunn spread his hands. He noticed the changes in expressions on the faces of some reporters, and he wanted this effect. Let you see the jokes, I will not let you get what you want!

The entire press conference lasted for fifteen minutes, and the loser Tony Dunn became the focus. Aston Villa's head coach Robertson was very depressed. He found that even if he defeated Dunn, he could not be the protagonist...

Dunn was able to deal with it easily on stage, so that the media could not grasp too much of his handle. After the press conference was over, some people were angry about this, thinking that Dunn was too cunning, and this low posture made them uncomfortable. But in fact, John Robertson was unfair...As a winner, he was only asked two questions, and Dunn snatched the limelight.

Although the Forest team scored a goal before the end of the game, it only saved a bit of face...or in other words, no face was saved. Dunn and his forest team still became the target of ridicule and bad-mouthing by the media after this round of the league.

"Look, I said it a long time ago, don't have illusions about his team performance."

"After being away from football for more than four months, Dunn still needs time to adapt to his new job..."

"The main thing in this game is not the score. I think it depends on the process-from the point of view of the process, this game is simply useless!"

"I found a problem. In the face of so many people in the coaching world questioning his coaching ability, Tony Dunn didn't even retaliate as usual. This is really unreasonable. Please contact me after the game. Dunn’s attitude at the press conference can’t help but say that maybe Tony Dunn had anticipated the failure of the game before the start of the game. To expand it a little bit, in fact, for the matter of returning to the forest team, he might still have it. I don’t have enough confidence to face it..."

"This group of media really guessed something right." Dunn said when he got together with the coaches for a meeting. "Before the last round of the league, I really don't think we can win. Through this game, everyone should also realize that walking in the middle will not work. We must get the Forest team back on the previous track."

"Now we have a week to abandon the previous tactics and start over."

"From now on, adjust the focus of training, increase defensive training, and strengthen the drill of set-piece offensive tactics. Before January, stabilize the team's downward trend by relying on these two tricks."

The coaches have no opinion on Dunn’s plan. They are all professionals, knowing that defensive and positioning **** are the things that can yield immediate results. Transform the offense? take it easy. The first is to regain the confidence and morale of the team before a sharp offense can appear.

After the routine tactical meeting ended, David Chris Luck and Freddie Eastwood stayed.

"Tony, you really calm down." Chris Lak shook his head. "The outside media almost never described you as a liar for reputation."

Dunn smiled disdainfully and said: "It's just a game, the media often do this. You have to understand them, David, they are rare and strange."

Eastwood, who was next to him, frowned, thinking about another thing: "The next game is our home court, boss. You can't lose this game..."

It's normal for him to be so worried, and it's okay to lose the game away. But at home, the Forest fans now have very high expectations for Dunn. They don’t care about the objective law of "the coach just took over the team and still needs time to get familiar with". They only know that Tony Dunn is the team. As long as he gets on the coach’s bench, he can win no matter how difficult a situation he faces... This sounds a bit like a human, but in the minds of Forest fans, Tony Dunn is early It is equivalent to God.

Eastwood thought of this. If the Forest team loses at home by that time, Dunn's way will be difficult. The doubts and disappointments of the fans and the disintegration within the team will only drag the team into the abyss.

Although the opponent is not strong in this game, it is very crucial for Dunn, not careless.

Dunn obviously also knows the importance of this game. The tactical issues have been explained to the coaches, and he does not need to worry too much about implementing them in daily training.

What really needs him to worry about is the players. He feels that he needs to talk to Balotelli alone as soon as possible. (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!)
