Godfather Of Champions

Balotelli felt that his position in the team should be bright, because he was rearranged in the forward position and scored the only goal of the Forest team in that lost game. He considered himself the best performer in the entire Nottingham Forest in that game, of course, the media did not agree. The results of many different media scoring the game are the same-George Wood is the best player in Nottingham Forest.

He admits that Wood's performance is pretty good, but when it comes to the best on the team, he does his part.

And more importantly, he believes that this ball allows the new coach to see his value clearly. That was a wonderful goal that was scored under the guard of two players!

Just as he was thinking about it, Dunn stopped him after the training.

"Do you have time, Mario. I want to talk to you alone."

Seeing the smiling face of the head coach, Balotelli became more certain of his thoughts. He hesitated on purpose, not to let himself be overly excited. Then he nodded slowly: "Well..."

"Come to my office." Dunn turned and walked away.

Balotelli was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the head coach to turn around so resolutely and walk so quickly. Some dissatisfied he followed slowly behind.

In fact, Dunn just turned around and walked away just like that. It’s not to show off to Balotelli. Now he is full of ideas about how to start this conversation with Balotelli, and how to get between the two of them. The conversation was as harmonious as possible and finally got the result he wanted.

The result he wants is not to lose both sides, but to maximize Balotelli's ability to help the team.

This incident killed a lot of his brain cells, and he couldn't pay attention to other details.

Balotelli felt that he was underestimated, and followed this line of thinking to guess-this conversation between the coach and himself must not have been a pleasant experience.

Except for the two of them, there is no one else in the head coach's office.

Dunn motioned to Balotelli to sit down, and then asked him if he wanted something to drink.

Balotelli shook his head, not interested in this.

Dunn didn't expect the other party to reject him so altogether, and it was a bit embarrassing. At this time he noticed a problem-Balotelli is now much fatter than when he was at Inter Milan at first...

No wonder his state is fluctuating.

Dunn decided to start with scoring. As a forward, all he cares about is scoring: "Mario, your goal in the last round of the league was wonderful."

Hearing what the coach said, Balotelli was secretly happy. He finally realized his worth!

"But..." But Shitang En turned around, "Can you score this kind of ball often?"

Balotelli asked this question for a moment.

Under the double-team of two people, he could flexibly flash out of the space, and then hit the football from between the legs of a defender, and then pierced the crotch of the goalkeeper. He really can't score goals like this often...

Dunn didn't give Balotelli a chance to answer. In fact, he didn't expect Balotelli to answer this question. He was just habitually asking questions.

He raised another question: "Do you like right forward or forward?"

This time Balotelli said without hesitation: "Forward."

Dunn laughed, which was exactly the same as the predicted answer in his heart. "Can you tell me what you think of the current situation of the team?"

Balotelli's answer is not too unexpected: "I think I should be the core. With me as the core, the team can score a lot of goals, and winning the game is not a problem."

Tang En nodded slightly, seeming to agree with Balotelli's words, but after listening to him he said: "But I have never used a striker as the core..."

He is telling the truth, since he started to become a professional head coach, he has never regarded forwards as the core of the team. Whether it is Anelka, Van Nistelrooy, Eastwood, or Mitchell, he is not the core of the team, and the team's tactics will never be formulated around these forwards. How can a head coach who prefers defense make forwards the core? All the offense comes from the backcourt, and the midfielder is naturally the best candidate for the core.

But Balotelli didn't understand. Hearing that the head coach poured cold water on himself, his face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy.

How could this change in his expression escape Dun En's eyes? Of course, this conversation is to make good use of Balotelli's talents, but if Balotelli makes too much demand, it will not work. Like now...

When the core?

Do not make jokes! Let a striker be the core, that is tantamount to completely negating my tactics. How can I now have so much time to reformulate the tactics and re-establish the core? Let the team adapt to the new tactics and core? The most lacking thing now is time. How can I have time to dawdle with you on issues that have long been conclusive?

Besides, you are a person who is fundamentally unstable, so why should I take you as the core? The core must be stable. If you sleepwalk in that game, wouldn't the whole team suffer along with it?

I won't do such silly things!

Although he thought so in his heart, Dunn couldn't say that. He changed his mind. The core concept of the striker is not exactly the same as the core concept of the midfielder. If it is for him to score more goals, then he can barely be called the "core"...

Since we want to maximize the effect of squeezing Balotelli, this is also a way...

So he changed his face immediately: "But you know, Mario. Our tactics are two forwards staggered one after the other..." He made a staggered gesture, and Balotelli nodded. understood. "I asked you to be a forward, not to make you a center forward."

This Balotelli also understands that to be a center is to be embedded in the opponent's penalty area. At that time, the enemy's defenders were all around. Let alone a goal, it would be nice to be able to hold the ball.

"Your position is the second striker." Dunn grabbed a piece of paper, wrote and painted on it, and then handed it to Balotelli.

On the map, Balotelli's position is cruising near the big restricted area line. It seems to be a little far away from the restricted area, but it is exactly the position suitable for Balotelli style. It is more free here than in the restricted area.

Seeing this picture, Balotelli's view of the coach is gradually changing. It seems that this boss is different from the previous ones. He really studied his own characteristics before he came up with this method.

"Your position is more flexible..." Dunn pointed to the picture to explain to Balotelli. He didn't expect that the conversation would become a tactical discussion, but it was also good. It was better to get to the subject than to talk nonsense.

"Mitchel will attract the attention of the opposing defender in front, and you need to connect the forward line with the striker. He puts the opposing back line on top and leaves you this space..." Dunn is in the penalty area. A circle was drawn on the front, "It's up to you to shoot or pass the ball here."

Hearing this, Balotelli's first thought was shooting, but Dunn seemed to know what he was thinking. "Of course, if you always shoot forcibly, I will reconsider your position..."

In fact, Balotelli is not the kind of unique striker, otherwise he won't have a right midfielder in his most accustomed position. He will also pass to his teammates many times during the game. This is especially true at Inter Milan. prominent. Only after coming to the Forest team, because he was the most valuable player in the team at the time (George Wood has not been transferred, so the exact value is not known, so no comparison), so I am somewhat arrogant and always want to let his teammates give Pass the ball by yourself, not with your teammates.

Dunn must now act together, let Balotelli find the heart of cooperation again. He doesn’t need a forward who can only score goals, because his team’s tactics are collective. No one can be a lone hero under him. If there is such a number one, it can only show that he is the head coach. Incompetent.

"As a second forward, a person who can not only score goals by himself, but also cooperate with and assist his teammates, is obviously better than someone who only knows how to keep shooting. I hope you can understand my words, Mario ."

In any case, Dunn is also the head coach of the club and the national team honorary grand slam. Balotelli no matter how talented he is, he has to converge a little bit for Dunn's stiff face.

In fact, the players' minds are very simple. If the head coach is a person with a brilliant resume, then no matter how big a star, he can be restrained. One of the reasons for Balotelli's previous rebelliousness is that the coaches who came to coach are not up to the grade in his eyes...

"Then when should I shoot and when should I pass the ball?" Balotelli asked a question that he later thought was stupid.

Sure enough, Dunn looked at him with a grin: "You are a genius, Mario. Don't you know this question?"

Balotelli was ridiculed by Dunn, and he was a little embarrassed: "I know, of course I know!" He answered Dunn's question loudly, as if his voice was low and he had no confidence and confidence.

Dunn didn't want to embarrass him too much. For these extremely talented players, management cannot be too extreme. At the age of fifty, he was no longer in his thirties. At that time, in order to maintain his authority, he could firmly put Anelka on the bench. He couldn't do such a thing. Maybe it's because of being older, maybe it's because of too many things, but now it's just a passing moment. He didn't dislike Balotelli's deliberate arrogance.

That's why he was thinking about how to use Balotelli instead of thinking about how to drive Balotelli away.

Of course, the authority of the coach needs to be maintained, but it is not reflected by bringing a talented player to the stands. Ferguson dealt with Cristiano Ronaldo, who wanted to go to Real Madrid. Didn't Ferguson also release the cruel words "I would rather rot him in the stands than sell him to Real Madrid"? But did he really do that? No. Not only did he not, he still let Ronaldo be the core of Manchester United, for which he even sacrificed Rooney. This is the vision and skill that a godfather-level coach should have-everything is in the interests of the team.

Tony Dunn, who is over half a hundred years old, has really matured, but it is a pity that he will only work in the position of head coach until the end of the season. If there is no problem with his heart and his body is healthy, I really don't know what kind of brilliant results he can create in this position...

Having said that, is his retirement a luck or misfortune for world football?

In the following time, Dunn was discussing specific technical and tactical strategies on the court with Balotelli. The atmosphere between the two is very harmonious, which is really something that Dunn and Balotelli had never expected before. In Dunn's view, Balotelli, a twenty-eight-year-old Italian boy, is indeed qualified to be arrogant, because he is really a genius, and his tactical intentions do not need to be emphasized too much. He will be clear after the last time. In Balotelli’s eyes, this head coach who has created countless brilliances does not rely on lip service as reported by the media. He is lucky. He really understands football and understands himself. He is worthy of his best efforts. Go to the "head" of allegiance.

When he was at Inter Milan, there was a person who made him feel similar, and then that person went to Manchester United. In Nottingham Forest for four years, he always clamored to go to Manchester United, in fact, to follow that man. But now he found that he didn't need to do that.

I only planned to talk for ten minutes alone, but when Dunn and Balotelli reacted, it was almost two o'clock...

After Balotelli discovered this dilemma, he smiled heartlessly, as if this kind of thing happened to a champion godfather is a funny thing.

Dunn didn't care about the way the players looked at him, touched his belly and said to Balotelli: "Let's go, I will treat you today."

After more than an hour of communication, the relationship between the two parties became very harmonious, and Dunn's words like this would not make Balotelli feel abrupt.

"Whatever, I have nothing special to eat. Actually I am not hungry..."

"That won't work, there is a training session in the afternoon. Do you think you can handle my training session when you are hungry? If you can't hold on because of physical exhaustion, I will not let this punishment go. Your chance. You should know how much I want something in the team now..."

The way Dunn said these words sullenly really shocked Balotelli-he was sure that this boss was serious.

Look at how he treats Bell, a team veteran, in training, right? Just because there was a set of reentrant running practice that did not run seriously, he asked Bell to redo 20 sets under the scorching sun.

He is the king of Vilford, and no one here dares to disobey his will.

"Well, I'll listen to you, boss..."

※※※

During the training interval on the second day, everyone suddenly discovered that Balotelli was holding his Italian fellow Fiorello to chat, which is not common. Even Fiorello himself was surprised, and some couldn't keep up with Balotelli's topic.

Chris Lac and Eastwood both turned their inquiring eyes to Dunn, wondering what he said to the Italian.

"It's just what he wants." Dunn shrugged. "He is eager to get attention, so give him attention. Believe him, I don't think we will be too disappointed..." More, support the author, support genuine reading!)
