Godfather Of Champions

Dunn has thought about it for a long time. This year, the excellent forwards and frontcourt players have grabbed a lot of them, but the good central defenders are few and pitiful. The defenders he is familiar with, based on the current league ranking, prestige and financial resources of the Forest, are simply impossible to buy.

It can only be excavated from the forest team's opponents in the League. Dunn sighed and missed the scouting tools in FM...After all, the manpower is limited, not as convenient and fast as the computer system. Thinking of this, Dun En suddenly flashed in his mind-why can't he imitate FM and CM and build his own scout data system? Enter the information of the players inspected by the club scouts into the computer system, including player names, ages, hometowns, locations, clubs for which they play, technical characteristics, game videos, media-related reports...all. It is updated once a year. When the coach needs a player, he can find it directly in the computer system. Isn't this much more convenient? It can also save a lot of manpower and material resources.

With that in mind, Dunn decided to discuss this plan with Evante another day, and spend money to entrust those program companies to build such a system and apply for patents... If the effect is good, maybe it can be promoted to other clubs and earn money. A small amount of money is always okay.

The training is fully responsible by Walker and the dedicated coaching staff. In addition to meeting with the coaching staff every morning and holding a meeting to review today's training schedule, Dunn basically interferes with the team's training.

At the beginning, the players who have only been on the team this season are still a little uncomfortable. How can the team's head coach ignore training? But soon those veteran players who were in the Forest team last season told them: The boss is such a head coach, as long as he can win, whether he comes up to practice in person during training, or is in a suit and shoes to watch it off the court?

Yes, there are many types of head coaches. Some head coaches do not like to train the team themselves. They usually formulate a training plan systematically and then hand it over to the assistant coach to do it. For example, former Barcelona coach Dutchman Van Gaal. There are also coaches who have no training plan and like to participate in it personally and may adjust his training ideas at any time. For example, the former Barcelona coach and the current Newcastle coach Bobby Robson.

Dunn is obviously between them, but as his experience grows, his approach to training should gradually move closer to Van Gaal, even though he doesn't really like this Dutch coach...

There are fewer days to see the sun in the sky, and it is always wet on weekdays, with continuous rain and wet weather. When I opened my mouth to talk and breathed, there was already a clear white gas ejected, and the temperature dropped day by day, and the feeling at the end of the year became stronger and stronger.

Christmas is coming. This is one of the most important festivals in the West, equivalent to the Chinese New Year. A strong festive atmosphere is permeating the city of Nottingham. There are lights and colorful lights everywhere. In front of the Victoria Shopping Mall in the city center, there has been a Christmas tree more than ten meters high. The lights are hanging high. When the lights are turned on at night, you can see the brilliance of the Christmas tree and the lights in the city. Almost half of the sky is reflected, and this kind of sight will only appear in the ancient city of Nottingham at Christmas.

A small Christmas tree is also placed in the club’s training base, underneath it is piled with small gifts prepared by the club for the players. Dunn doesn't know whether the Forest Club had such a tradition before, but judging from the players' surprise performance, it is estimated that this is also part of the "team public relations" mentioned by Alan Adams.

The outer packaging of each gift has the names of the players, everyone from the first team to the youth team. The coaches’ gifts were delivered directly to their offices and placed on their desks.

In the lobby of Building One of the training base, the players are happily rummaging around the Christmas tree looking for their gifts. Whenever someone finds them, they will raise them up and let out a cheer, and then they can't wait to take them apart. There are not many types of gifts, basically a greeting card with a small gadget, not very valuable. But the club’s intentions still make many people feel warm.

Dunn looked at these "New Year" players and stood at the gate with a smile, and did not urge them to go to the training ground. No matter how much their weekly salary has been, most people are still children after all, and sometimes they have to relax if they need to relax.

Today is December 24, the last day before Christmas, Christmas Eve. The team only trains in the morning, and there will be a half-day holiday in the afternoon. The team will continue to have a holiday in the next Christmas morning. The players will not come back until the afternoon and they are ready to go to Norwich in the away game, which is the 25th round of the League. Of a game.

Dunn saw George Wood on the periphery of the crowd. Since returning to the first team, he has not had time to return to the youth team. But seeing Wood who is much more mature than before, he still feels very relieved. Chris Lak values ​​Wood as much as he does. With him taking care of him, he shouldn't have to worry about this kid not playing.

George Wood did not squeeze with those people, but waited outside, looking around as if looking for someone.

Dunn felt that he must be looking for himself, and as expected, Wood saw him and walked straight up.

"Hi, Merry Christmas, George." Dunn waved his hand to greet him.

"Merry Christmas..." Wood wore the winter sports jacket issued by the club. It was thickly put on him, but he didn't feel bloated. On the contrary, his height of 1.86 meters and a year of professional training made him look Kong Wu is powerful-he doesn't just look like a professional player anymore. "Are you doing something tonight?"

Dunn said, "No. I'm the only one, what can I do."

"...My mother invites you to eat at home tonight." Wood hesitated for a while, and then said his purpose of looking for Dun En.

Sophia? Hearing this news, Dunn thought of the night alone with Sophia for the first time. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, tell your mother, I will go tonight."

But Wood did not walk away immediately, but stood in front of Dunn and continued to look at him.

"Is there anything else, George?" Dunn asked him.

Wood turned around and returned to the Christmas tree. There were no more people there, and he could easily find his gift. Then he took his Christmas present, turned and left here, and returned to the youth team training base.

Dunn looked at his back, shrugged, and walked to his office.

After pushing the door open, he was taken aback by what he saw. The table is full of various gifts, big boxes and small boxes... even potted Christmas tree with ribbons!

Seeing this scene, Dunn was honestly touched. A head coach, in addition to the achievement that gives him a sense of self-satisfaction, can also make him feel that everything he has done is worthwhile, and what is the comfort of it? The only recognition is that players, fans, and clubs recognize themselves: You shoulder all our hopes. You are the head coach of the Nottingham Forest team, not an unknown boy who does not know where he came from!

Looking at the table full of gifts, Dunn knew that he, the "new" coach who had only led the team for two games, had already gained the trust and support of this team. Is this just because the team won two consecutive victories? No, in the London subway, when he faced the drunk Millwall fans and stood in front of everyone on the team, Dunn didn’t know what kind of eyes the players looked at him. Back view.

Abandoning players for their own future is not uncommon in the cruel world of professional football. Coaches are always accustomed to sacrificing players to gain their own advantage. But Dunn chose to stand up bravely to protect his players when facing possible life-threatening situations. Maybe he just made this move because of Gavin's death, but in the eyes of the players, this man is worth all of their efforts to help him win and help him succeed. If he said: "Guys, I need you to win this game." Then no matter how strong the opponent is, they will fight with confidence.

This pile of gifts comes from players, coaches, team doctors, club presidents, and marketing managers who have not yet taken up their posts but have actually started to work. Most of them were just cards, but Dunn still opened them one by one. It's as happy as receiving a greeting card from a girl you like when you are in school.

Sergei Rebrov: Thank you, Mr., for allowing me to regain my confidence. I once regretted coming here, thinking that I was just wasting time constantly. But now I am very fortunate that I play under your hands. Merry Christmas and I wish you a good mood every day.

Des Walker: Merry Christmas, Tony! Although I will be leaving the team after the end of this season, the experience that I want to work with you is my precious experience and I have learned a lot from you. I hope that one day we can still work together. Remember, we are the best partners!

Evan Daggerty: Tony? Don't forget our plan! victory! victory! We will be the best club chairman and head coach. Also, Merry Christmas!

Alan Adams: Merry Christmas, Tony. I hope this time next year, we will be in the UK. By the way, your suggestion about setting up a player database system made Evan and I both excited. This is really a nice Christmas gift. After Christmas, I will fly back to America to do this.

Looking at these cards, a layer of water vapor appeared in front of Dunn's eyes. He rubbed his eyes and kept looking. In this gloomy winter morning, the door of the office was open, and the cold wind in the corridor poured in, but Dunn felt that the room was like a warm spring day.
