Godfather Of Champions

The players of Notts County must be disappointed because they still haven't won the Derby. But Dunn's words after the game may make them feel better.

At the press conference after the game, Dunn praised Don, the coach of Notts County, saying that he caused a lot of trouble for himself, and he himself hasn't felt trouble for a long time...

This evaluation is quite high. In fact, Dunn did this intentionally. From now on, he wants to let the supporters of the Forest team gradually become familiar with and accept the new head coach in the future. Some people think that Tang's ability is insufficient and his reputation is not great? This is not a problem. He is looking for his successor, not a beauty pageant. Tang's abilities are completely fine. You must know that Tang En was "taught" by Tang - at first, his entry point was to read the notes left by Tang day and night at home. Fame? When he took over the Forest team, he was also unfamiliar. Anyway, Evan has now given up the unrealistic "rich dream", why must he hire a world-class marshal as his successor? Moreover, world-class coaches are not willing to live in the shadow of Dunn. They are always compared with Dunn. How many arrogant and famous coaches can stand it?

And Tang himself is also a coach from Nottingham Forest. He is familiar with the Forest team and he has feelings for the Forest team.

Taking all factors into consideration, Tang is the most suitable successor and one that the Forest Team can rely on for decades to come.

Just like Moyes, his fame is not big, but he has worked in Everton until now and has become a name that cannot be forgotten in the history of the Everton team. In fact, Dunn’s time in the Forest team can’t be considered long. He has only worked for twelve years. For English managers, this coaching time is not even in the top 20.

If Dunn hadn't been able to win so many championships, with his twelve years of coaching time, there would be little left in world football.

England managers coach the team and have different plans according to the length of coaching time. Short-term plan, medium-term plan, long-term plan. Dunn can at most be included in the mid-term plan, and what the Forest Team needs is a long-term plan. In any case, Nottingham Forest's current foundation is still shallow. This foundation does not mean that five European Champions Cups are considered reliable, and that no matter how many championships they win, it won't work. The foundation needs time to accumulate. If every season can be guaranteed to be in the ranks of the championship, it will last for 20 years, even if it has a foundation, it is estimated that it will become a team of world football that cannot be ignored in a hundred years. Strength can be compared with those of the giant clubs.

But Dunn didn't have the time to slowly lay a solid foundation for the Forest Team. This kind of thing was just right for the young and healthy Tang to do. All he did was to create a glorious history for the Forest team, and this history will become the spiritual force that inspires every Forester in the years to come. It can be said that Dunn creates spiritual wealth, while Tang focuses on the material level, and the spirit and material complement each other to make the Forest Team gradually stronger. Rather than being like Clough’s time, after a short period of glory, as Clough grows old, like a meteor in the sky, it passes across the sky and disappears.

Dunn would never hope to get old in the future, but saw the Forest team slip into the abyss in the low-level league.

It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to keep the country. The quality required by the Jiangshan and Shoujiangshan are different. Tang En considers himself not a talent for the Jiangshan, but he can do it with his momentum. It is better to keep the Jiangshan and he needs a steady and calm person. This is more suitable for Don than himself.

That's why he went to find Tang.

In this derby game, many people who lacked an intuitive understanding of Tang have seen Tang's abilities with their own eyes. A team like Notts County can regain its brilliance under his hands. Wouldn't it make a difference to replace it with a higher level of Nottingham Forest?

Dunn hasn't told Evan his idea yet, because he knows that Evan is now full of ideas about how to persuade him to stay and do a few more years. At this time, even if he told him about the successor, he would not take it seriously. Dunn is not worried that his recommendation will not be approved in the future. He knows his influence in the club is even higher due to this temporary fire fighting action. He has always had a high reputation among Forest fans. . So as long as he nodded, no one would disagree.

As for Tang's character, he is not domineering? Don't be kidding, if everyone in the world is carved out of the same mold as Dun En, then the end of the world will also be here...

It is with this kind of "selfishness" that Dunn barely mentions his victory in the press conference. In addition to praising the team's performance, he has always praised Tang. This made the Chinese media overjoyed, and they can brag about the domestic audience and fans again. This time they will definitely not be scolded as a "headline party", because Dunn's original words are more nauseous than their headlines!

Tang was almost embarrassed by Dun En, so he tried his best to be humble. As a result, this humility became another reason for complimenting him in the eyes of interested people.

In this way, this derby battle, which only came once in 14 years, ended in a harmonious atmosphere of "hello, me, hello, everyone".

※※※

After the Derby War ended, Dunn did not contact Tang. Everyone was an adult and knew what to do. Don continues to coach in his Nottsshire, but he has already begun to train successors. But Dunn was like a okay person, no longer thinking about successors.

January belongs to the winter transfer window, and it is at this time that the major teams want to make up. It can be used to make up for the shortcomings of summer transfers, or completely correct the mistakes of summer transfers. But Nottingham Forest has nothing to tonic. Dunn knows that he will only stay in this club for another half season, and Tang will take over from the next season. From the perspective of long-term considerations and for the benefit of the team, don't buy anyone during the winter transfer period and keep it as it is. it's the best.

Otherwise, once the emperor and the courtier, Dunn's favorite players may not be suitable for Tang's tactical system. Forcibly buying not only delays the players, but also does not benefit the team's reconstruction work.

There was only one Chen Jian, which Tang En thought would not interfere with Tang's tactical system.

If you don't buy people, it doesn't mean you won't sell people.

When Chen Jian came, there were at least four people in the midfield. The team does not have multi-line combat missions, and it is useless to have so many people in the same position. Gago is old, although Dunn is very happy to return, but the Nottingham Derby has allowed him to recognize the reality-his role in this team has become smaller and smaller. If the boss really does not continue to work next season, I am afraid that it will be useless to stay. The new head coach will probably not entrust him with important tasks. In this case, it is better to return to Argentina to find a team for retirement.

So Gago talked to Dunn alone, hoping to make it clear whether the boss really only did this half of the season.

Dunn told him that he did only work for half the season and left the team after the end of the season. And he did not persuade Gago to stay. He knew that Gago's departure would be a good thing for the team, because Tang would have one less trouble clearing the lineup.

Although it is a bit unsympathetic to say this, it is necessary to analyze the problem from a rational point of view.

Gago also thought about this issue, so he did not express his dissatisfaction. Instead, he took the initiative to put forward his idea of ​​leaving the Forest after the end of the season.

Another familiar person was about to leave the field of vision, but Dunn was not as reluctant as before. Perhaps after seeing too many breaks and breaks, he is really bearish. Or, is it actually because Gago has not been with him for a long time?

Gago wants to leave, Dunn will not stay. The other person's situation is that someone wants to leave, but Dunn wants to stay.

Jack Livermore originally competed with Gago for the midfielder spot, but most of the time he couldn't compete with the experienced Gago. But he still thinks, that is, after all, Gago is old, and he will gradually become the main force. Unexpectedly, on January 1st, Dunn actually bought another Chinese to play the same position as him, and he was able to get a chance to play in the Nottingham Derby. He performed well.

This immediately made him understand that his status in the team was lower than before.

Livermore is a smart man. He knew that the reason for his lower status was that Dunn didn't like him, otherwise he would not hoard four people in the position of central midfielder. A wise man would not hit a stone with an egg. To Livermore, he is an egg, while Dunn is a stone.

The way for smart people is to leave on their own, so that everyone will look good and have a good reputation.

So Livermore also had a separate talk with Dunn, he wanted to confirm whether his position in Dunn's heart was ranked first among the five central midfielders.

Of course, Dunn would not say directly: "Yes, you are the least status in my mind." Unless it is a fool, or deliberately wants to make the other person angry.

In Dunn's plan, Livermore is not useless, at least it is appropriate for him to play a substitute.

just……

"I can't accept the substitute arrangement, boss." Livermore was direct and frank. Dunn likes this kind of talking attitude. Everyone is not playing with it. One says one, and the other says two. How great.

"I still hope you can think about it seriously, Jack. We need enough bench depth." So Dunn didn't use lie to prevaricate him, and told him directly that he was positioned as a substitute.

"I'm sorry, Boss. When Fernando and George were there, I was their substitute. Now Fernando is old, but there is a Chinese... I'm twenty-nine years old. Boss, I don't want to keep playing as a substitute until I am The end of his career."

Livermore looked at Dunn very seriously.

The same is pursuing his own interests, and if he speaks so frankly, Dunn will not feel disgusted. Because this in itself is not a bad thing.

Dunn hopes that Livermore's consideration as a substitute is simple. In his plan, Wood and Chen Jian will be the main players in the second half of the season, maybe next season will be the main players. But after Gago left, the team only had three central midfielders, which is very unsafe. Although I don't know what kind of tactics Tang will arrange, it is absolutely impossible not to have a substitute in this position.

Livermore is Dunn's best substitute. His strength is the main force, he is slightly lacking, and he can't keep up with the requirements. But it was a pity to let it go for nothing. So it's best to be a substitute with peace of mind.

Unfortunately, the players are not cold data NPCs in the game. They have their own ideas and no one wants to be a substitute. Everyone wants to be an assistant and a hero. But one side of the football game can only start with eleven people, and someone must be a substitute. Such players are role players. They don't want star players to be so dazzling, but they may be the most indispensable type in the team.

But Livermore is clearly not such a person.

He simply refused Dunn's retention.

Facing such Livermore, Dunn was powerless. But it's easy to find a substitute, so it's really impossible to draw from the youth team. It is not Tang En who needs to consider this matter, but Tang. Dunn was fortunate to sell his personal love to Livermore, and he readily agreed to his transfer application, but he hoped that Livermore would not leave during the winter transfer period and finish the season. In return for Dunn's willingness to leave, Livermore also agreed to his request.

In this way, Dunn finally left a relatively complete team for the team. In the second half of the season, on the premise of giving up the FA Cup to specialize in the league, there is basically no need to worry about large-scale injuries and national team transfers. To the completeness of the lineup.

Under such conditions, Dunn will lead the team to relegation successfully. But deep in his heart, there is a bigger goal-to get the right to participate in the European competition.

Dunn suddenly thought of his first season coaching the Forest team, which was strictly half a season. Only after the new year took over, the team's performance was not good, just like today. It's just that the team's finances were on the verge of collapse, and a penny transfer fee was not available. He could only tap the potential internally and make full use of existing resources. In the end, his team fell short before reaching the end of the Super League.

It was from that time that he had an unforgettable pain for failure, and hated failure in his heart. From then on, he can do whatever it takes to win.

The current situation is similar to that of the past, except that the reason for his small moves in the transfer market is not because he has no money, but because he does not want to spend money.

Therefore, the similar desire to win has never changed. Dunn admitted that his temper is better now than before, but his eagerness to be competitive has never been old. If someone thinks that he has turned into a "good husband"... Dunn really hopes that someone will think so, so that he can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger... But does anyone really think so?
