Godfather Of Champions

There is no need to repeat the situation before the final battle, because it is no different from those important games in history. The only difference is that most of the fans who came to watch the game today did not wear a forest team jersey with the name of a certain player, but a red or white commemorative T-shirt.

As early as when Dunn held a press conference to announce that he would definitely retire after the season, this commemorative T-shirt was put on the souvenir shop in Nottingham Forest. There are two colors of red and white, the front looks like the Nottingham Forest jersey, but there are two numbers on the back. The upper "12" represents Dunn's twelve years of coaching the Forest team, and the lower "12" represents the 12 championships Dunn led the Forest team. Above the two "12" is Tony Dunn's name.

Almost every fan passing in front of the camera will show the two "12"s behind him and the name of Tony Dunn to the camera, and then give a thumbs up.

As a reporter, Pierce Bruce wore such a T-shirt to cover the game live.

Dunn’s team was warming up inside while the fans lined up outside the field.

The warm-up time of the two teams today is a bit early, because the final round of the league must kick-off at the same time, and the Forest Club also prepared a small farewell ceremony for Dunn, to be held before the kick-off. Can only put the warm-up time forward.

The fans who entered the stadium first were busy looking for Dunn's figure below in the stands, but they failed to do so. Because Dunn was caught by Evan Daggerty at the door of the locker room and did not come out at all.

"Tony, you only have fifteen minutes in the locker room." Evan told Dunn, for fear that he would forget the time when he talked about it. "We must kick-off at the specified time, otherwise we will be punished. You must know that this game is very sensitive..."

Dunn waved his hand impatiently, why is Evan such a mother-in-law today? "I see, isn't it just a battle for the league title? It makes our home team seem like a supporting role."

Evan chuckled. In the eyes of many people, today's Forest team is indeed a supporting role. In his mind, the Forest team is also a supporting role, and Manchester United is also a supporting role. The real protagonist is only the man in front of him.

I vaguely heard the live broadcast outside reminding that the warm-up time was almost over, Evan told Dunn about it, turned and left.

But Dunn went back to the locker room to wait for the players to come back, and then a few last words. Evan was worried that fifteen minutes would not be enough for him to say, but now Dunn is no longer the Dunn who liked to give impassioned speeches more than ten years ago, he has nothing to say, fifteen minutes is more for him.

When the players of the two teams warming up outside began to leave the field, the big screen on the crimson court removed the team logos and time display of the two teams and went black.

There are not many vacancies in the stands at this time. The fans outside the square also gradually decreased with the increase in the number of admissions. Some people who did not have tickets went to the nearby pub early to watch the live TV.

After the last player of the Forest team left the stadium and entered the hallway, the stands were basically full, and there were no more fans in sight at the entrances. The big screen that had been black since just now flashed, and then a word appeared on the dark background.

"HE" (him).

Then the white words slowly faded away, blending into the pitch black background.

The picture flashed again, slowly brightening, and the silhouette of Tony Dunn appeared on the screen.

A huge cheer burst out from the stands.

The screen faded out again, and then Tony Dunn and Evan Daugherty appeared on the screen. The two of them held hands in the center of the screen, and there were spread documents on the table below. This is the photo of Dunn and the club when they first renewed their contract.

After the screen faded out, a sentence was typed on the black background:

"This is the most correct signing in club history."

This sentence drew another cheers and applause.

When the fans looked up at the two large screens at both ends of the stadium, the staff were moving to the cleared stadium to transport trophies. One after another, the shiny silver crowns and trophies of different shapes were carefully lifted out and placed carefully. Put it in the turf in the middle circle.

In the locker room at this time, Dunn was telling his players the purpose of the game.

"Have you deceived you by what I said yesterday?" Dunn leaned over and asked.

The players sitting around him shook their heads.

Seeing this answer, Dunn laughed. "Very well, listen guys. This game is just an ordinary league for us, but for our opponents, they are under tremendous pressure and it is a game that we cannot afford to lose. Don’t raise your expensive hands and let the water out? No! I don’t want to say that you are all professional players. I just hope you can look up at the words on the wall when you enter the court."

After talking about this, Dunn repeated the tactical arrangements laid out last night. He wants to make sure that every player on the field knows what he wants to do.

"Our tactics are nothing new, and the old opponents should have been thoroughly studied. But after studying thoroughly, whether there is a way to contain them is another matter..."

Dunn spread his hands.

The footage of Dunn leading the team to win each championship is playing on the big screen.

From the first League Cup champion to the last UEFA Champions League, each trophy has a fragment.

"...Even if it is climbing! We have to climb up!" On the screen is a green field, the forest team players are sitting on the ground, Dunn is squatting in the middle. Look carefully, many players are very strange, many people are now almost forgetting their names, and Dunn in the lens is also very young. This is the picture before the penalty kick in the 2004 League Cup final, when many players in the team left the team after the Forest team was promoted to the Super League. "There is no difference between losing at the last step and losing at the first step. It is a loser! You must win! You must win!" Tang En in the screen roared with his fists clenched, his appearance not only infected the screen The forest team players in China also infected the audience fifteen years later.

Cheers and applause continued for a long time.

But the scene that made them more excited is yet to come.

The screen flashed, and the UEFA Champions League flag fluttered in the wind at the Athens Olympic Stadium. The next second was the scene where Albertini used a deciduous ball to break the AC Milan goal. The forest in the stands seemed to be immersive to the fans, cheering with the ball. Some of them even shouted Albertini's name: "Demi! Demi!!!"

There is a regret in this game. Because Dunn does not want to be special, he has always claimed that this is just an ordinary league. Therefore, unlike the previous finals, tickets were sent to old friends before the game. I don’t know if those people will come...

Someone in the stands elbows his companion next to him: "Hey, they're calling you, Demi."

※※※

"... Nottingham Forest's tactics are nothing unusual. George Wood and Chen Jian must be their midfield hubs. You need to press them tightly. Our midfielder must dare to press forward and be vicious in the midfield. We can't give them too much space and time to get the ball. As long as we can push them into a rush, our winning rate will increase."

In the Manchester United locker room, Mourinho is analyzing the forest team's tactics and arranging countermeasures.

Unlike the joyous atmosphere outside, the air in the visiting team's locker room was so heavy that it almost solidified. Everyone listened quietly to what the head coach said, for fear of missing a word.

No matter what they are like, this game is too important for Manchester United. In the Champions League and the FA Cup this season, they lost in double line, only the league can compete for honor. This last game really cannot be missed, otherwise this season will really be nothing.

They don't know whether to say that they are lucky or bad.

The opponent in the final round of the league is Nottingham Forest, which is definitely not a weak team. But they have completed their goals for this season ahead of schedule, and now they should have no desires.

But this is Tony Dunn's farewell performance again...Can his team be allowed to be upset by a defeat?

Mourinho doesn’t know what his players are thinking. He just repeats the tactics used in today’s game over and over again, and at the same time decompresses the players so that they don’t think so much and stay calm , Just as an ordinary league to play.

To be honest, Mourinho himself does not believe that this will be an ordinary league. Even if it is not related to the question of the title of the league, there is another reason.

Tony Dunn’s last game, although he was in the locker room, he could guess what was happening outside. There will be a ceremony specially prepared for Dun En in a while. His players have received the request from the Forest Club, and hope to cooperate and line up at the exit to welcome Dunn to play.

What a big battle! I think there was no such welcome queue for Ferguson's last game before his retirement...

His team agreed to such a request, but he would not applaud in the queue to welcome Dunn to play. Want him to line up to pay tribute to Dunn? Unless he is dead!

※※※

When the two teams completed their pre-match preparations and walked out of the locker room ahead of time, the big screen above the stands was still playing a documentary about Dunn.

This time it was the 2006 Champions League final. In that game, Nottingham Forest, which had one less person in the opening eighteen minutes, also led by one goal until the 76th minute. In the end, due to a significant decline in physical fitness, Barcelona scored two goals in a row and lost the championship trophy. That game was a heavy blow for Dunn and his young forest team.

The content on the big screen this time has never appeared on any public media before.

It was a video of Dunn furious in the locker room after the game.

"...The shame of the loser? The silver medal for shit!?" When a piece of content is broadcast on the public media, the foul language will be silenced, and all you can hear is the constant "beep beep beep." "Again. But this version played on the Crimson Stadium is authentic, with absolutely no word-shielding and noise-cancelling treatment. This is a real Dunn.

"There is only one champion. What do you do to issue silver medals? Sell money!? Go out and laugh and set off the winners? Make their champions look more brilliant? Laugh and sell yourself like a prostitute?! No! Barcelona is not very good Do they? Let them play by themselves!!!"

Then the screen turned, Dunn stretched out his arms in front of many reporters and raised three fingers. "This is the third Champions League trophy in the history of Nottingham Forest Club, thank you!"

In the next second, Dunn went to the stage with a gloomy face to receive the silver medal, then walked down and walked straight to the passageway, where he hung the silver medal in his hand on the neck of a little caddie. After doing all this, he ignored the eyes of everyone present, walked into the corridor and disappeared in front of the public.

Seeing him doing this, the Crimson Stadium fans not only did not feel that their head coach was impolite and demeanor, but burst into greater cheers, and some people were applauding and stomping to applaud Dunn's approach.

They just like such a rampant Tony Dunn, I'm afraid they can only be booed by changing a gentleman. Nottingham has a lot of people who have personalities who despise authority. From Robin Hood to Brian Clough, they are their pride. Tony Dunn is no exception. No one will be surprised by what Dunn did. Such a coach is the best coach in their minds.

If there is no such an aura of contempt for the authority of the world, how can it be possible to win twelve championship trophies in the twelve-year coaching career?

Some people think he is arrogant? That must be a loser who hates him!

※※※

Amidst the cheers, the players from both sides appeared on the field, but they did not directly play, but lined up in two teams on both sides of the corridor, waiting for the protagonist to appear.

The big screen on the stand was black again, and a sentence slowly appeared on it:

"Let's welcome—"

The fans who saw this sentence shouted in unison: "Your Majesty the King!!!"

In the roar of "Your Majesty the King" from the mountain whistling and tsunami, Dunn walked out of the corridor.

He saw the players on both sides waiting in line, and also saw the club chairman Evan Daugherty who was standing behind the championship trophy in the middle circle. Of course, he also saw the slogans and portraits hanging in the Robin Hood stands.

He raised his hand and waved to everyone. Passed through the applause of the players on both sides, and stopped until the trophy in the middle circle.

The black screen and text on the big screen are gone, replaced by Tony Dunn’s "coronation ceremony" after successfully defending the European Champions Cup and returning to the City Stadium. In the picture, he is draped in a royal cloak with a red and white border, holding the crown aloft, and facing the starry stadium stands-those twinkling lights come from the camera's flash.

Evan Daugherty handed the wireless microphone in his hand to Dunn, pulled him behind the trophy, and then retired.

The reporters swarmed up and lined up in three rows in front of the trophy. The first column lay on the ground, holding the camera in his arms. The second row is kneeling on one knee, holding the camera. The third column stands behind the first two columns, busy with a tripod.

When they are finished, there is a continuous sound of pressing the shutter.

From the perspective of reporters, especially those lying down, twelve trophies of different sizes and shapes are placed in front of Dunn, which really has a breathtaking aura.

Wait for the reporters to finish taking photos. Dunn raised the microphone. Seeing his action, no one reminded him, and the scene gradually became quiet. Before the mountain whispered the tsunami, waves of cheers gradually disappeared, and finally disappeared completely. Everyone is waiting to hear Dunn say something.

Dunn thought he had seen countless big scenes, and today this scene will not make him feel anything. But when he was just about to open his mouth, he found a bit of choking.

He closed his mouth quickly. He didn't want these 60,000 people to hear his crying voice, it was really embarrassing.

But he still didn't escape, the developed TV broadcast immediately cut a close-up to Dunn's face. His wet eye sockets were just exposed to everyone.

Seeing him like this, another shout erupted from the stands: "Stay, Your Majesty!"

Listening to such a shout, Dunn just waved his hand to signal them to be quiet. When the scene became quiet again, he stabilized his emotions and said into the microphone: "Thank you..."

With just this sentence, the voice became somewhat out of control.

Tang En discovered at this time that he was so nostalgic for everything here that he couldn't even say "goodbye".

This time Dun En choked again, and no one made any other noises. They were all waiting quietly.

Dunn lowered his head and was silent for a while, and finally controlled his emotions again.

He coughed and said, "Thank you, thank you."

In response, countless arms in the stands were waving at him.

I don’t know when, the song of the farewell Albertini, "Time_to_say_goodbye" by Sarah Brightman and Andre Bocelli (Farewell Time) was played on the live broadcast.

When the song sounded, someone in the stands wiped the corners of his eyes. He remembered the past many years ago.

"It's time to say goodbye, Tony..." He sighed.

"I am proud and proud that I have coached this team for twelve years. I am proud and proud that I have only coached the Nottingham Forest club team in my life. It was not I who made Nottingham Forest, it was you. It made me." Dunn reached out to the fans in the stands and the players standing aside.

applause.

"Today is the last game, I hope you can enjoy it..." Here, he paused.

Everyone thought he was going to say "Enjoy the game, enjoy football."

But Dunn turned his head and looked to the other side. He easily found Mourinho behind the crowd. His old opponent was expressionless.

"...I hope you can enjoy the victory of the game."

Dunn looked at Mourinho and smiled.

When these words came out, the expression on Mourinho's face really changed, and he was no longer as calm and calm as he was just now.

Dunn, who had molested his old opponent, was in a good mood, and the feeling of parting to him was no longer sad.

Dunn raised his hand again and waved around.

"In ninety minutes, let's say goodbye! Goodbye, guys!"

After saying this, Dunn put down the microphone and continued to stand in the middle circle and wave his hand. Cheers broke out from the stands again, and the players of the Forest team stood aside, watching their leader enjoying the cheers alone, and they were also applauding. Gareth Bale even whistled. They now feel that they are full of motivation and fighting spirit, and they can't wait to start the game right away, and then rush to tear Manchester United to pieces.

Where does the league champion belong?

What does that matter to us! We just want to use a victory to send off the greatest leader in Nottingham Forest history!

You are the embodiment of victory and the champion of champions. In this last game, only victory can be worthy of you, boss.

※※※

Dunn has retired, and the twelve championship trophies are being moved back to the honor room by the staff. The reporters are returning to their posts, players from both sides are re-entering the arena, and the cheers in the stands have gradually ceased.

A line like this was typed on two big screens:

There is only one Tony Dunn!

※※※

PS, this is Tony Dunn’s farewell ceremony. It is not the same as the retiring of the players I have written before. It is not too sad, but there is another feeling in my heart...
