Godfather Of Champions

The reporter who asked Mourinho at the press conference whether he was worried about playing against Dunn was obviously prescient. While the Manchester media were still hyping the aftermath of the Manchester Derby, the media in Nottingham and other places had already started hyping the ending battle between Tony Dunn and Mourinho.

"When he was a coach, Mourinho had never beaten Tony Dunn."

This embarrassing record for Mourinho was also re-discovered from the dusty waste paper pile. So much so that people who saw this record still felt a little cordial-they thought it was nine years ago, when Dunn and Mourinho had at least two games in each season's clash in the Premier League. landscape.

Since Mourinho was driven out of Chelsea by Abramovich, such a madman matchup has never been seen again. Later in the European War, Dunn and Mourinho also played against each other, Dunn still has the advantage. It's just that the confrontation in the European war is too difficult to meet. During this period, it was also mixed with the battle between Mourinho and Nottingham Forest, not just the grudge between Mourinho and Tony Dunn.

The media are naturally interested in the purest duel, which only belongs to the battle between Tony Dunn and Mourinho.

Two rebellious and self-esteem head coaches collide together. What kind of sparks can they create?

Expecting.

Now that this scene reappears in the Premier League, can the media not be excited?

So this group of media just turned out the record of the first match between the two people. Re-popularize the grievances between the two people to the fans.

"...It is said that Tony Dunn has always wanted to invite Mourinho to drink a glass of wine after the game, but Mourinho always refuses this very normal invitation. It is unknown why he refused, but Dunn finally realized In response to this wish, before the World Cup in Brazil, they had a drink together as guest commentators on their respective national television stations. No one knew what was going on, and no one saw them drinking together. Dunn was in his This was disclosed in the autobiography, but no more detailed information..."

"What kind of relationship do Tony Dunn and Mourinho have? They are opponents... or the enemy is more suitable. After they meet, the only idea is to beat each other and step on the other side and humiliate the opponent. But there is one scene that is still unforgettable to me: after Mourinho left Chelsea, reporters ran to ask Dunn what he thought of this matter, and Dunn gave Abramovich a foul language with just one mouth. It really surprised everyone at the time. They thought that Dunn would be happy to lose a strong enemy..."

"So, the friendship between men is one of the most puzzling things. If someone asks Mourinho at this time: Tony Dunn’s last game of coaching career, what gift do you have to give him? Do you? I firmly believe that Mourinho will answer: send him a failure."

This is true.

Sure enough, some media ran to ask Mourinho. At the Carrington training base, he caught Mourinho and threw the question to the opponent.

"Tony Dunn will completely withdraw from professional football after the end of this season. Do you have anything to say about losing such an opponent?"

Mourinho replied blankly: "I will use a failure as his parting gift."

"It's really unfeeling..." Dunn tweeted with the newspaper.

But he is better. When the reporter asked him how he would treat Mourinho, he said that it is not the time to talk about Mourinho and Manchester United at all, because before that they have another game against Wolves. The Wolves have already determined their relegation quotas, and they will definitely be in the Premier League next season. Facing such an opponent who can definitely be defeated easily, Dunn still believes that they are more important than Manchester United. This is the highest state of contempt for the enemy-completely not taking the opponent seriously.

Don't Dunn really take Manchester United seriously? If he really did this, he would never get so much honor. It is Dunn's approach to contempt opponents strategically and attach importance to opponents tactically.

He just used this to exchange a psychological battle with Mourinho. As for whether it can work, he doesn't care. Mourinho is also a psychologist, Dunn does not put Bao on it. Dealing with Manchester United and Mourinho still depends on tactics.

The Wolves were relegated early, and they had no fighting spirit in the last two rounds. Although it is an away game, the Forest team should also be able to win without blood. Such an opponent is not worth too much thought. So Dunn's work in these two weeks focused on dealing with Manchester United.

Mourinho's Manchester United team is not as unique as Wenger's Arsenal. The impression that Arsenal has given over the past two decades is that the offense is as smooth as the water, gorgeous and complex, and pleasing to the eye, but they are slightly inferior in confrontation and fighting spirit, which is why they are not as good as Manchester United in terms of championship. Manchester United has continued Ferguson's style, emphasizing physical confrontation and speed on the basis of insisting on the ground attack. They are more balanced and more comprehensive than Arsenal.

Because their shortcomings are pitiful, and at the same time they are very powerful. Such a team has a long history of battles and rich experience. The players are tenacious and will never collapse easily. They will not be complacent because they are ahead, nor will they quickly collapse or be at a loss because they are behind.

Such opponents are the most difficult to deal with.

The style of Nottingham Forest just restrains Arsenal, but does not restrain Manchester United.

This game will be a real head-to-head match. If Dunn doesn't want his last game to be disrupted by Mourinho, he has to rack his brains.

Dunn is preparing for his last game, while Mourinho is trying to get his two players to avoid the suspension penalty, at least in the game against the Forest team. He decided to appeal to the FA to buy time. According to the rules of the English Football Association, players who are shown a red card during the game will not automatically start suspension, but will be subject to the FA's review and verification before the suspension will begin.

As long as the Manchester United club appeals, it can delay time. It's just a two-week delay...It's unlikely.

Mourinho didn't care, he just filed an appeal, it was a bit of a toss.

At the same time, as an excellent head coach, it is impossible for him to put all his eggs in the appeal basket. He must be prepared to challenge Nottingham Forest away without Rooney and Evans.

If it was Nottingham Forest half a season ago, he would not waste time on it. But it was different now, and he would never dare to underestimate this Nottingham Forest. Don't look in front of people, he always looks disapproving of Tony Dunn, but in his heart he dare not even despise him.

The football world pays attention to strength. The best way to prove your strength is to win and win championships. A coach who has won 16 important trophies in 15 years is absolutely not allowed to be underestimated.

Mourinho is not stupid yet, he knows it is not easy to beat Tony Dunn's team. So he was extra careful.

What are the advantages of Nottingham Forest? What are the disadvantages? How have they been in the recent league rounds? How is the team's injury situation? Has the player's psychology changed with the approach of the end of the season? Does Tony Dunn’s announcement of his retirement have a deep impact on those players?

These questions linger in Mourinho's mind, all he needs to figure out.

He already knows the advantages and disadvantages of Nottingham Forest. After playing with this team for so many years, he knows Tony Dunn very well. How could he still be unclear? But knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the other party does not mean knowing how to deal with it.

Fortunately, he has two weeks.

The league is about to end, and many people have things to do. Some people are busy making the final effort for the goal of a season. It may be to win the championship or to relegation. Others are to get a good ranking and get a larger share of the broadcast fee after the league. Share.

Others are thinking about their future next season.

Tang is one of this second kind of people.

Two days ago, just after Nottingham Forest defeated West Ham 2-0 in the away game, he received a call. The caller claimed to be the chairman of Nottingham Forest Club Evan Dogetty.

Just by listening to the voice, Tang could tell if this person is really Evan Daugherty, because he has not had any contact with the Forest Club for seven years, and can't remember Evan Daugherty's voice is normal. But he believes that this person is the chairman of the Forest Club, because Dunn had told him before that Nottingham Forest should contact him recently to discuss the signing of the contract.

It's just that he didn't expect that it was the club chairman of Nottingham Forest who came to contact him in person...

Should I say that Corporal Evan Daugherty has moved him deeply? Or is it that Tony's influence in Nottingham Forest Club is so great that even the club chairman must give him a lot of face?

Tang didn't want to go into this question, it was not what he was interested in. Now that Evan Daggerty called, it means that it is time to seriously consider leaving Nottsshire and returning to Nottingham Forest.

In fact, Evan Dogettdotang is still skeptical, but the candidate Dunn strongly recommends gives him some expectations. After all, Dun En's vision he could still trust.

It is not clear on the phone, and such an important thing should not be said on the phone.

Evan Daugherty and Don made an appointment to meet separately and discuss again.

After all, Evan also needs to listen to Don’s views on the Nottingham Forest team, and then listen to Tang’s future plans to know whether the Forest team’s future can be handed over to this young man who has not achieved any outstanding results so far. In the hands of the coach.

Although he listened to Dunn's words, he was not a foolish fool.

If Tang can really come up with something that satisfies him, then there is absolutely no problem with signing Tang. As for the Nottsshire side...just give me some compensation. Anyway, the compensation for a coach is not high, and Nottingham Forest can afford it.

After agreeing to meet with Evan Daugherty on the phone, Don ended the call. He began to think about how to say goodbye to Notts County. After all, this team gave him a stable platform and allowed him to organize the team according to his own ideas. It gave him seven years. No matter how bad his initial results were, he was not taken from the position of head coach. Rushed down. If there is no affection for Notts County at all, it is impossible.

It's just that he has to pursue a bigger stage and a broader sky. The blue sky above his head is not his goal after all. Tony knew him and gave him such a chance. Re-prove yourself on a larger stage, lead the Forest Team to retrieve the lost glory and dignity, and at the same time retrieve the long-buried dream in his heart...

This season, Knott County is still ranked in the middle of the English Champions League, and there is no hope of promotion. Moreover, the senior level of Knott County's club does not seem to be promoted. For them, the results are already quite outstanding. Without the support of external funds, you can only position yourself here.

Since the club has no ambitions, let's go its own way.

Pierce Bruce is sitting in his own office, racking his brains for the game two weeks later. This game is the retirement of Tony Dunn. How should he report such a gimmicky game has given him a headache.

Now many media are paying attention to this game. If there is no good entry point, how can it stand out in such a fierce news competition? In addition, print media has the most obvious disadvantage compared with television media and network media.

Tony Dunn is leaving, and the Nottingham Evening Post has planned a special issue. Bruce is the chief planner of this topic. He needs to coordinate his staff and resources to make this topic the best.

But first he needs to determine a theme and perspective. In what way can we cut into this report and achieve the best results?

He simply released his hand from the keyboard, got up and walked to the bookcase, and began to look through the information in it-the historical Nottingham Evening Post. Hope to find something useful from it.

When he opened the newspaper, a familiar headline hit his face.

"We were raped!"

Only then did he realize that he got the newspaper as soon as he drew it. Look at the date: January 4, 2003. This is the first time he and Dunn are on stage...

Tony Dunn in the photo is still very young, and the domineering power between his eyes is faintly revealed. At that time, who knew that such an amazing young rookie coach would become the best head coach in English history in the future?

Those people, those things...

Bruce suddenly had an inspiration.

Why only do one issue?

How can Tony Dunn’s fifteen years of experience fit within the first issue of the topic?

Bruce felt that no matter what those brilliant reporters said about Dunn's experience, it was not as convincing and legendary as Dunn's own experience.

All he has to do is to dig out every step of Dun En's fifteen years and show it to the readers. Then let them follow this issue of the topic and recall the ups and downs they have experienced together in the past 15 years.

that's enough. In the future, this issue of Dun En's "Chronicles" will surely become precious materials worth collecting. (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!)
