Godfather Of Champions

Mourinho never underestimated Nottingham Forest and Tony Dunn, so when the Forest team launched a fierce offensive on his home court, he was not surprised.

But despite this, the difficulty of this game still made him quite a headache.

Nottingham Forest is determined to win Manchester United at their home court and use victory to bid farewell to their leader. They behaved in the game as if it was them who needed to fight for the league championship.

It is naturally impossible for Manchester United to give up their victory in this game. If they lose to Nottingham Forest, the league title will basically be lost. Who wants to fall before the finish line?

The game was deadlocked from the beginning. The competition between the two sides in the midfield is fierce. In this game, George Wood and Chen Jian were originally intended to attack, but Manchester United's strong pressure forced them to temporarily switch to defense. Similarly, as Wood and Chen Jian stayed in the middle, Manchester United’s offense could not advance, and there was no way to threaten the Forest team’s goal.

The midfielder could not organize an effective attack, and the Forest team did not panic. They also have other methods, such as-long pass.

Wood and Chen Jian retreated their positions and turned into midfielders. They basically stayed in front of the back line. When organizing the offense, they took the ball to the front and had a chance to pass a long pass. Mitchell is two tall. Mi 01 is as eye-catching as a beacon in the frontcourt, looking for him with a long pass, and then he will ferry the ball down, or directly control it. Anyway, in addition to his outstanding height, he also has excellent foot skills. It is not a problem to keep the football under your feet.

Balotelli is cruising beside Mitchell, waiting for an opportunity to shoot.

In comparison, Manchester United, lacking Rooney, are slightly inferior in impact, even if they want to pass for a long time. Their striker looked too thin in front of the central defender of the Forest team...

In order to deal with Manchester United, Dunn spent two weeks to make his team "harder". The playing style is hard, and the small moves must be hard. So in the first half of the game, it seemed that the focus of the two teams was not on how to attack, but on how to prevent the opponent from attacking with foul actions that were not seen by the referee...

As the last game that Dunn coached, this first half was definitely not wonderful. Both sides have fewer high-quality offenses. But the fans in the stands still watched with relish and enthusiasm. Manchester United fans care about whether their team can win the championship, so they don't care what the scene is. They are not Real Madrid and Barcelona fans. They look first and score second. Nottingham Forest fans are not the kind of group that pursues a beautiful scene, otherwise Dunn would have enough to dismiss 38 times in his first year of coaching career-every round of the league has to be dismissed once, as long as they can win, they I think it's a good thing.

Only some neutral fans will find this game broadcast live all over the world a bit boring, but those fierce collisions are still a bit worth seeing. In a football game, of course, it is impossible to score every minute, and it is impossible to have wonderful shots and magical saves every minute. A real fan will not let go of every small detail on the field.

There are many small details in this game...

When Balotelli kicked a free kick high, the camera did not give Balotelli a free throw, but immediately cut to Dunn on the coach's bench. Dunn suddenly raised his head in the camera, showing a regretful expression. Then the camera turned to Mourinho, and the Portuguese was expressionless and didn't seem to worry that his team would fall first.

Then George Wood and Manchester United midfielder Adrian had a kick. As a result, the three-year-old Wood was defeated and lost possession of the ball in front of Manchester United's penalty area. Mourinho, who saw this scene changed his face off the court, and complained endlessly to the assistant coach next to him.

Nottingham Forest took the opportunity to launch an offensive, which was their most threatening attack in the first half. Wood passed the football to Chen Jian. Chen Jian made a long shot but dunked the football. Watching Gareth Bale plug in from the left, he squeezed the football straight into the middle. Mitchell leaned on Manchester United central defender Evans to control the football, Balotelli plugged in in front of him, attracting the attention of Manchester United defenders. When everyone thought Mitchell would pass the football to Balotelli, Mitchell suddenly knocked the football behind him with his heel. There, Gareth Bale had been inserted into the penalty area. Inside, and not offside, and unmarked!

With such a good opportunity, Bell didn't hesitate to shoot!

The football went straight to the corner, but fortunately, Manchester United goalkeeper Rufie focused his attention and quickly fell to the ground to shoot the football out of the bottom line.

This offense caused huge cheers and applause erupted from the stands, and it was one of the few bright spots in the first half. Dunn felt very sorry for not scoring the goal, but Mourinho stood up from his seat-facing the turbulent offensive of the Forest team, he couldn't sit still.

In fact, for Manchester United, as long as they can keep a tie, they can win the championship. But Mourinho never thought about this possibility in his mind. He knows how powerful Dunn's energy is. If the plan is set at the level of "guaranteeing and winning," then the final result is likely to be his own failure. Only by determining the goal as victory, the team can really achieve the results they want.

Then Manchester United made adjustments. Not because the Forest team is at home and the offensive is fierce, Manchester United will shrink behind. He asked the team to press out and use one or two high-quality offenses to frustrate the forest team's spirit.

But less than ten minutes after he just adjusted, the whistle sounded at the end of the first half.

"0:0! Mourinho should be satisfied with the score. As long as his team keeps a tie in the final round of the league, they will be able to win the league title with a goal difference." Commentator John Mott That's what Sen said, but Mourinho must not think so.

In the locker room, Mourinho criticized the team's performance in the first half without mercy.

"Do you guys know what kind of game this is? This is related to whether we become heroes or laughter this season!"

Mourinho lost his temper to the players, part of the reason was actually because he felt that in the competition with Dunn, these players were far inferior to the forest team players, which made him feel very embarrassed.

In contrast, Dunn praised the team's performance in the first half in the locker room.

Although there were not many quality offensives in the first half, the Nottingham Forest had the upper hand overall. Dunn's hard-line play for the team made Manchester United very uncomfortable.

Apart from praise, Dunn did not say much. It's as if this is an ordinary league. These people are professional players. They have played countless professional leagues. They have been trained in this aspect since they are sensible. Although the opponents are stronger, the meaning of such a game is special. , But it should be able to handle it. It's a pity that I can't continue to lead them.

He left the rest of the time to the players, then opened the door and walked out.

In fact, Dunn has a lot to say, but he can't say, he is afraid of disturbing the emotions and state of the players. If the players lose the game because of him, he really doesn't know how he should face this group of people.

Dunn came to the corridor by himself. The staff there saw him, and Dunn saw them. He waved his hand to those people, indicating that there was nothing, why should he go, he just came here to breathe.

With Dunn's prestige here, he said so, no one really dared to bother him.

So in the noisy stadium, he gained a moment of peace.

At this moment, Dunn suddenly wanted to smoke. Since the heart attack, he has stopped smoking. Now it has been exactly ten years since he quit smoking. It stands to reason that he will not smoke again and would never want to smoke again. But today, he just has such a desire to light a cigarette for himself.

Tap the pocket, of course there is nothing inside.

Don't smack your lips.

Although he will return to this stadium in the future, it is absolutely impossible to be the head coach. When parting, do you miss it? Dunn found that he was not nostalgic. Perhaps it is because my feelings for this stadium are too shallow. If it is changed to a city stadium, perhaps he will be quite nostalgic. Before the city stadium was torn down, he drove to do the last goodbye. He ran into Kenny Burns in the evening and chatted with him for a while.

Today, this modern and beautiful stadium cannot make him feel the same.

He still remembers that when he first arrived here, he always sneered at the "smell of history", thinking it was synonymous with decay, aging and backwardness, so he looked down on the outdated facilities and buildings in the club. Unexpectedly, one day, he will also start to miss those "old antiques"...

Is it because I became an old antique like those old antiques?

Since it's outdated and backward, you have to retire from the stage. Retiring at this time is still not a shame...

When Dunn returned to the locker room, the players were already ready to play under the command of assistant coach Chris Lak. Dunn waited for them to come out at the door of the locker room, patted on the shoulder one by one, and sent them to the court.

There is no difference between the second half of the game and the first half. Although Mourinho asked his team to step up their offense, the Forest team's defense is still solid. The Forest team also continued to insist on harassing Manchester United's rear with a long pass in the first half to prevent them from coming out.

As time passed, Manchester United's offensive began to weaken, because they felt that even if they finally achieved an average, the league title was theirs.

The draw is actually the result Manchester United wants. In front of the champion, even if they can't win Nottingham Forest, they are not afraid of anything. But on Mourinho's side, the result is absolutely unacceptable. Not to mention the idea of ​​a draw is too dangerous, even if it is a personal grievance, Mourinho will never allow his team to draw with the Forest team.

Dunn retired after commanding the game, if the result is a draw. Wouldn't he be unable to defeat him for the rest of his life?

This can't work!

Mourinho stood up from the coach's bench and roared loudly against the singing of the Forest team fans, making his team step up the offensive, attacking from two ribs.

Mourinho is not satisfied with this draw, and the players of Nottingham Forest are not satisfied with this 0:0.

When Mitchell was in a good position unmarked, but Balotelli turned a blind eye, chose to shoot forcibly and shoot the football directly, Mitchell couldn’t stand Balotelli’s behavior. He complained loudly: "What are you doing? My position is better, haven't you seen it?"

Balotelli ignored him, but felt sorry that he had missed a chance with his head in his hands.

His attitude makes Mitchel very upset, anyway, Balotelli's popularity in the team has always been very average. He ran after him and wanted a few words of theory, but made Wood stop.

"That bastard, don't you know that we have to win the lead now?" Mitchell complained to Wood.

"This kind of thing doesn't need you to talk about it." Wood pointed to the sideline, and Mitchell glanced at it and shut up.

They all saw the boss getting up from the coaching bench and walking to the sidelines.

In the next second, I saw Dunn roaring in the field.

"Mario! What are you doing?! You should pass the ball!" His voice can still be heard in such a noisy environment, and it really makes people wonder whether there is a loudspeaker in his body. "Pass the ball pass the ball! Pass the football to a better-positioned teammate! You are no longer a kid, do you still need me to teach you this kind of thing!"

In fact, he shouted so many words, the players on the field may not be able to hear clearly, but it expresses an attitude-I am very angry!

Balotelli is not very popular in the team, even George Wood does not give him the face, but for Dunn, he still respects him very much. Seeing Dun En lose his temper, he knew it must be because he didn't pass the ball just now, but chose to shoot.

So he waved his hand to Dun En, which meant that he would pay attention next time...

Dunn returned to the coaching bench and sat down.

This little detail made the commentator Mortensen relish.

"Tony is still the king here, even though he didn't deliberately show this. But seeing that Balotelli, who has always been rebellious, is so honest under him, no one will doubt that he is the king. ."

Balotelli, who had been taught by Dun En, was a lot more honest. When there was another chance, he passed the ball many times, and he never dared to eat alone.

There is really nothing to do in this last game. For Manchester United fans, it's exciting.

With the passing of the second half of the game, the exciting scenes on the court gradually increased. This may have something to do with the requirements of the coaches of both sides. The two teams simply fought against each other.

Wonderful shots have also begun to appear, and of course more exciting saves have also happened from time to time. This must make those neutral fans feel very happy.

But although the scene is lively, the score is still 0:0. No one scored a goal.

During the period, Nottingham Forest hit the goal post once, and Manchester United had one goal post and one crossbar. Both teams seem to have bad luck.

The time of the game also quickly passed by in the exciting confrontation between the two sides.

It seems that this game will end with a score of 0:0.

If this is the case, the Manchester United will dance for joy because they successfully defended their title. Only Mourinho is dissatisfied, because he will never have a chance to defeat Tony Dunn...
