Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 1025: The lost heart of champions

The noise in the transfer market has nothing to do with the Forest team. Originally, the media were expecting that Dunn would be calling for trouble in the transfer market after returning to the Forest team, but out of consideration to maintain the status quo, he bought Chen Jian and let go of Silva.

The team's results in January were two wins, two draws and one loss. This result is not outstanding, but it is not bad.

This is the current status of the Forest team. Dunn's return stabilized the military spirit, but the team's performance did not immediately jump to the first group like the Rockets soared. The team is still oscillating in the middle and lower reaches, although out of the relegation zone.

The media generally believed that Dunn's return was fruitful, because the Forest team immediately moved away from the relegation zone. But this is not the result that Dunn wants. His goal in his heart has not been stated to the outside world. It doesn't matter if the media knows it or not, because the media can't control him, but he must find a suitable opportunity to tell the players his goal. If the players don't know what he thinks, the generals are not united and it is impossible to accomplish this goal.

Why choose a suitable opportunity? Because this goal is a little far away for the current forest team, if you say it rashly, you may not get the result you want. After all, these people are not the former Forest team players, and he doesn't know how much they respond to Dunn's goal.

※※※

The thing that made Dunn the happiest in January was that Chen Jian integrated into the team very quickly.

Perhaps it is because Chen Jian once played for the Forest team, he and the Forest team seem to be completely incompatible. Or because his technical characteristics are similar to Wood's, he is naturally close to Nottingham Forest's tactical style. It doesn't need to be run-in and it can quickly function normally.

At the same time, Chen Jian can speak fluent English and has lived in Nottingham for three years. He is not unfamiliar with the environment here, and he will not feel uncomfortable because of language barriers and unfamiliar environment.

After staying in the hotel for a week, he moved out from there because his agent Xia Yang found a house for him in the city. After buying it under Chen Jian's name, he moved in directly.

There is a house, Xia Yang temporarily lives here to cook for Chen Jian and take care of his daily life. At the same time, Chen Jian handled the matter of bringing his parents to Nottingham, and when Chen Jian's parents came, he could be liberated.

"You can never find a second agent like me in the world, A Jian!" While making dinner for Chen Jian, Xia Yang emphasized his importance to Chen Jian, who was sitting in the restaurant and playing with his mobile phone. "Help you make money, buy you a house, buy a car, buy furniture, and wash your hands and make soup for you... Tsk tsk, I am your nanny. Your Uncle Xia is a big agent who manages hundreds of Chinese players!"

Chen Jian was sending flirting text messages to a girl he met when he came back to China last year. Hearing Xia Yang say this, he raised his head and said: "The agent is a babysitter. Haven't you heard this song, Uncle Xia?"

"What song is it?"

"Being her driver, her courier and her cash machine." Chen Jian hummed.

"Hey!" Xia Yang rolled his eyes. "That girl asked you so, right?"

Chen Jian shook his head: "Cui Cui is a simple, kind and sensible girl."

"Yo yo." Xia Yang laughed, "Sure enough, it's the lover's eyes that has beauty. As long as it's a lover, everything is good."

Chen Jian knew that Xia Yang was teasing himself, not really dissatisfied with Cui Cui. So he ignored Uncle Xia, lowered his head and continued to use cellphone text messages to talk to his girlfriend about love and longing.

In the open kitchen, the fragrance drifted into the dining room.

Without lifting his head, Chen Jian said suddenly, "Put less salt, Uncle Xia."

"I'm doing my share!" Xia Yang's voice also floated out of the kitchen following the fragrance.

Chen Jian has insisted on eating the athlete's diet until now, because it helps to maintain his body and state. But ordinary people can't eat this kind of stuff. Xia Yang once curiously followed Chen Jian for a meal. He said that it was "the same as chewing wax". So as long as Xia Yang and Chen Jian live together, each meal must be two meals, one is Chen Jian's "athlete meal" and the other is Xia Yang's own "food".

In the past, Xia Yang often used these various delicacies to seduce Chen Jian who was eating at the same table, but Chen Jian was not moved at all, just eating his athlete meal. This made Xia Yang very frustrated. He could only complain that Chen Jian didn’t know how to enjoy life. He made so much money and didn’t buy a luxury house. Apart from buying a good house for his parents in his hometown in Sichuan, he had no requirements for living; Che; three star beauties... Now that you don’t even have the enjoyment of eating, why do you make so much money?

Chen Jian ignored his complaints and still went his own way.

But Xia Yang is also very proud, because these are the "cheats" for Chen Jian to succeed in Europe. As for those domestic ineffective players, it's no wonder that they have spent their entire lives in China as bottom frogs. Xia Yang wouldn't praise him in front of Chen Jian, but he always used Chen Jian as an example for his young players and told them that this is the way to success.

If a professional player wants to succeed and want to extend his professional life longer, a regular life and diet are essential. This is why Chen Jian is a yellow race, but Dunn has confidence in him. He would rather bring him back to the Forest team as a key player in the future "Tang Era". It stands to reason that the professional peak period of the yellow players is relatively short, which is related to their physique. After 30 years of age, their physiology begins to decline. If you do not pay attention, it is basically a diving-like decline.

Such a situation will never happen to Chen Jian.

Xia Yang first brought Chen Jian's dinner to the table, and then returned to serve his share of twice-cooked pork topped with rice.

After starting, Xia Yang asked Chen Jian with a meal in his mouth: "Can you start this weekend's game?"

Chen Jian put down his knife and fork, and shook his head after thinking about it, "I don't know."

"Hey, does Dunn value you, don't you see this?"

"If from training performance, I should be the starter... but I can't guess."

In fact, with the exception of the first two games where Chen Jian came off the bench, Chen Jian has always been the starter in the subsequent games. According to this trend, then Chen Jian should also be the starter in the next game, unless he has suffered before the game. What hurt.

However, just like Chen Jian said, Xia Yang couldn't guess Tang En.

※※※

Let alone Xia Yang and Chen Jian, even the media can't guess Tony Dunn.

This weekend is the game between Nottingham Forest and Arsenal. Old Wenger and Tony Dunn confronted again. This game has attracted much attention, otherwise Xia Yang would not ask Chen Jian if he can start at dinner, because the game will be broadcast live in China, which is a great opportunity to consolidate Chen Jian's top star in China.

Before this game, the media finally saw the long-lost scene-Dunn took the initiative to provoke a war of words.

In an interview, he claimed that although Arsenal are now ranked third, his team is fully confident to beat Arsenal away.

The current situation is that everyone knows that Nottingham Forest's strength and performance are not good. In the first half of the season, the Forest team was humiliated by Arsenal 1:4 at their home court, which is the real gap between the two teams.

"We all know that Dunn wants revenge, but this revenge is really hard to revenge..." the media said. "Arsenal is not Middlesbrough. It is very difficult for the Forest to win."

"It's really been a long time since this scene, but I also know what Dunn is playing. He just wants to provoke Arsenal and make the opponent lose his calm judgment, so that he can profit from it. But now this is not working, Wenger You won’t be fooled by scheming."

"He must be talking big. In fact, he doesn't necessarily really want to beat the opponent, but to bring confidence to his players."

"Just saying a few words can boost your confidence? This is ridiculous!"

In Villefort, two days before the game, Dunn is giving their players the last tactical lesson here. Tomorrow this lesson will be in the hotel in North London.

Dunn's tactics class will not always only talk about tactics.

"Is anyone still confused these days?" Dunn asked, looking at the players sitting below.

No one said "yes", but in fact they do have doubts, and they are not small. Since Dunn coached the team, they have never seen the boss so proactively provoke opponents.

In fact, those old players who have followed Dunn for a long time are not surprised.

"I'll make it clear in advance that I am definitely not bluffing, or to give you some **** confidence."

Dunn unconsciously exploded again.

"I said I want to beat Arsenal, then I mean to beat Arsenal."

When he said this, it caused quite a stir among the players. Arsenal are now ranked third in the league, and are only one point behind second place, and only three points away from first place Manchester United. Nottingham Forest ranked thirteenth, 15 points behind Arsenal. The huge gap in the rankings is actually the current strength difference between the Forest and Arsenal.

They just lost to Arsenal at home in the first half of the season. To speak of defeating this powerful enemy, these people really don't have much confidence...

Dunn saw the hesitation and lack of confidence in their eyes.

He grinned: "Why? Just a mere Arsenal makes you scared? Look at your good points. In fact, since I took over the team, I have always had an idea, but I am hesitant to tell you , Or whether to make it a reality."

His words have already aroused the appetite of many people-what thought made the boss so hesitant?

"When I came back, there was no press conference, so no one asked me what kind of future I wanted to bring to the Forest team." Tang En saw that everyone was interested in his words and knew that the time was right. "But I think most people think it is a successful relegation right?" He spread his hand, "If it is, I think we have completed the task ahead of schedule. Then, in the next half of the season, what else do we need to work on? ?"

When he said this, everyone felt that it was the case. If it's just relegation, judging from the team's current performance, it shouldn't be a problem.

"So in fact, my goal is not to relegation. It was not from the beginning. My goal is to return to Europe." Dunn said his true goal calmly, and the players below were not calm.

Surprised discussions suddenly sounded in the room. No one thought that their head coach was so ambitious!

In fact, returning to Europe is not very far away. In the first half of this season, they also participated in the European League (formerly UEFA Cup). The previous few seasons have also participated in the UEFA Champions League and the European League. But why does it sound like they have not appeared in Europe for a long, long time?

When the discussion became a little quieter, Dunn continued: "So our lowest goal this season is the European League. Does anyone like to participate in European competitions?"

"No!" Quite a few people answered this time.

"That's good, it seems we have found a common topic." Dunn laughed. "I am a person who likes challenges and wins. It would be a bit boring if the season ends like this. I want to make sure one thing now--" Dunn paused.

"How many people have such ambitions?"

After he asked this sentence, he looked straight at everyone present.

He should try to keep everyone's reaction in his eyes.

Some are excited, some are puzzled, and some are confused.

"Do you know why I said we can beat Arsenal?" Dunn continued after observing everyone's reactions.

"If you still have doubts about this, then there is no way to return to Europe. I want you to regain the long-lost confidence. This confidence is not the arrogance when facing Nottsshire! It is even in the face of strong The enemy is still fearless without changing his face!"

Dunn clenched his fists in front of the players.

"If you can only be arrogant in the face of the fish belly, and abandon yourself in the face of a powerful enemy, then this is not self-confidence, this is inferiority! It is inferiority in the bone marrow!"

"When I said that we were going to beat Arsenal, some people were frightened. How can this work? You are going to Europe in the future. You have to face a lot of stronger opponents, so just don't kick it, okay?" Dunn Watching them spread their hands, "This is really sad. Four years ago, Nottingham Forest dared to steal the Real Madrid Champions League in front of more than 80,000 home team fans at the Bernabéu Stadium. Do you now have the guts?"

No one answered him, because too many of them had never experienced such a scene at all, and had experienced...At this time, they were really flushed with their heads down, how could they still speak?

Why is the Nottingham Forest sluggish, year after year is not as good as each year?

Since the man with a nuclear-powered heart left, they have also lost a champion heart...
