Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 33 This is Eastwood!

Eastwood and George Wood met on the training ground on this day. Since the teammates have seen the demeanor of the new teammate at the gate, they are not so strange to each other, and those who have fun will make fun of Eastwood with the horse. The gypsy always had a very pleasing smile on his face, and he didn't care about the jokes.

The smile on his face disappeared only when he saw the silent George Wood. He didn't say hello to Wood, shake hands or make other friendly gestures, and Wood did the same. But don't think that Wood is just like the other person because of grudges, but he usually looks like this when he sees strangers. He has long forgotten what the name of the player who had his leg cut after a rash foul.

Dunn saw this scene next to him, and did not "kindly" remind George that his new teammate had his leg broken. The personal grievances of the players need to be resolved at the right time.

Now... let's do this first.

Eastwood is naturally outgoing, optimistic and cheerful, which can be seen from the fact that he can continue to play and keep smiling after his broken leg. Dunn did not worry about his integration into the team.

But... will the FA Cup let him play?

Nottingham Forest's opponent in the third round of the FA Cup is West_Bromwich, who is also in the First Division. West Bromwich Albion is currently ranked well in the league. After the twenty-sixth round of the game, with 47 points in second place, it is five points behind Norwich, the league leader. But the gap with the following teams is very close, from sixth to second in the league only five points. One piece of news that is very beneficial to Dunn’s goal for overtaking this season is that there is only a two-point gap from the 18th to the 14th in the league, only a three-point gap to the twelfth, and only three points between the twelfth and ninth in the league. Points gap. The difference in points between the midstream teams is not that big. There are three teams with 33 points, two teams with 35 points, and two teams with 36 points.

As long as the Forest team wins a few key games and don't make any major mistakes in the league, they can steadily improve their rankings and return to the first group. When the ranking is promoted to within ten, he can officially launch a sprint to upgrade qualifications.

Nottingham Forest now has 31 points, ranking 18th in the league.

It is precisely because of such close points that Dunn dare to say that he will return to super after the end of this season. This is not an unbelievable miracle. People who think it is a miracle simply lack sufficient understanding and analysis of the situation.

For Dunn, January and February are the most critical. If the team loses the chain at this time, then basically if you want to chase later, you really have to count on "miracle."

Dunn must win two consecutive League Cup finals at the end of January.

After considering this, Dunn decided to abandon the FA Cup. He hopes that West Bromwich Albion will go further and further on the road of the FA Cup. If possible, please go straight to the final... That way, the energy of this second-ranked team can be more dispersed and the Forest team Pull it down from Malaysia...The West Bromwich Albion team, who then reached the FA Cup final, please create a gorgeous second-level league team to enter the UEFA Cup "remarkable record"! As for the places in the English Premier League, let our forest team "reluctantly" replace you!

Dunn, who made this plan, told the coaching staff that the training arrangements are mainly for Sunderland, the next opponent in the Nottingham Forest League. This is an away game and Sunderland ranks fourth in the league.

For Dunn, this belongs to the category of "a game that must be won by any means anyway." And this category includes all teams currently ranked ahead of Nottingham Forest.

In the away game, Dunn still insisted on the defense-oriented strategy. Sunderland's performance at home was quite good, with seven wins and five draws and only one loss, which can be regarded as a home dragon. It is really difficult to challenge such an opponent. The only thing Dunn can take advantage of is that this team has a terrible defense. They conceded the most goals in the top six-38 goals. You know that the second-to-last Bradford conceded 39 goals...

So the coaching staff followed the league training plan, with Lebrov in midfield and Gareth Taylor at the top. These two have spent the biggest investment of the team this season. No coach will rashly put them on the bench. Dunn drove Taylor to the reserve team to play two games, which is enough personality. To run into Ranieri's kind of old-fashioned coach, no one dared to offend, the team will be messed up. Because of this, Chelsea's performance this season has made the new boss Abramovich a little bit unbearable.

The topic is far off.

Dunn’s focus in training is the new Freddie Eastwood. After two days of training, all members of the coaching staff were completely relieved of the player who had broken his leg. He had no problems with his ability.

Even Walker had to admire Dunn's eyes again. He really didn’t know how Dunn found him who had never played in any first team because he was abandoned by his old club because of his broken leg and then ran to play in the amateur league...

Dunn certainly can't tell him that he saw his playing video in 2007, three years later, and used him in a football manager game. He simply didn't give any explanation, letting his colleagues look at him with admiring eyes. This is actually very good and helps to continue to establish one's position and authority.

You can’t show everything, even if he is your best work partner and friend. Especially the head coach who needs personality charm, there must be some mystery that everyone can't understand. Just like Brian Clough, Peter Hilton, the main player of the Nottingham Forest team who won two European Cups in England, said: "The coaches of Shankly, Ramsey and Stern are all great. They have aura and magic, but Clough also has a mysterious X factor."

Therefore, it turns out that maintaining a proper sense of mystery and inaccessibility in front of others will help to enhance your reputation and prestige in the team.

On January 3, City Stadium, the Forest team faced West Bromwich Albion in the third round of the FA Cup. Before this game, Dunn made Eastwood appear in the middle of the court, wearing a Forest team jersey to meet the fans. The fans reacted somewhat coldly to this strange guy, and there were no welcome scenes like cheers that shook the city stadium.

The meeting ceremony itself was also very simple. Eastwood went up and waved, standing on the sidelines with a scarf from Nottingham Forest and letting reporters take pictures. In less than five minutes, he got off the court, took off his jersey, and sat neatly in the stand box to watch the game-he didn't even make the list.

In this game, the Forest team lost 1:2 at home to West Bromwich Albion and was eliminated from the FA Cup. The fans were a little disappointed, but still applauded the team after the game. After all, the team has reached the semi-finals of the League Cup, don't be too greedy.

But Eastwood, who appeared before the game, quickly became the focus of media attention. It's very simple, because some media discovered that Eastwood had just broken his leg and had been playing in an amateur team. He had no experience in the first team of a professional team.

Although the deal only cost the club one hundred thousand pounds, the media, who likes to bluff, still exaggerate it. Many media questioned Dunn's vision of seeing people, but also questioned Eastwood's ability.

And the media did not know how to get the dramatic scene caused by Eastwood just after arriving at the Forest team that day. They exaggerated what happened that day, mocking Eastwood as best as they could, and finally mocking. The report asserted: "A gypsy who lives in a caravan and takes the horse into the training base to report, as if living a primitive life, can only play in the amateur team after breaking his leg, and usually helps his father sell second-hand cars. People... Tony Dunn’s striker knife? Nottingham Forest’s hope? This world must be crazy!"

In fact, Bruce was also a little worried about the ability of this newcomer, but out of trust in Dunn, he did not publish any articles that were unfavorable to Eastwood in the newspaper, but cautiously expressed his lack of optimism about Eastwood’s prospects. Be careful with words. But other media can't manage that much. The forest team and Millwall didn't fight, they were a little unwilling. No, it can be regarded as a good opportunity for them, how can they easily let it go?

"...I have seen professional players who work as painters, I have also seen professional players who work as plumbers, and I have also seen professional players who do miscellaneous work in restaurants... But I have never seen a family and a living on a trip. In the car, a professional player living the life of a tramp!"

"As far as we know, when Freddy Eastwood was playing for the West Ham youth team, he was seriously violated by a player from Nottingham Forest in a youth league and kicked his leg. Could it be that Mr. Tony Dunn was out? With the mentality of paying off debts, did you sign such a player who has never proven his ability? Hello, Mr. Dunn, are you planning to change to a philanthropist?"

"The Charlton Club almost became the club played by Freddie Eastwood. At that time, Eastwood wanted to go to this South London team to try out. But after the club knew that he had broken his leg, I refused him without hesitation."

Of course, it was not all doubts. Someone still stood up to help Dunn and Eastwood speak, although there was only one person—Eastwood's former head coach of Grace Athletic team Stimson Sir, he was angry at the media mocking Eastwood, and he also thought that this player who was re-persuaded to return to the court would definitely surprise everyone with his performance. "When he played on my team, he often scored five to six goals in a game!" But who cares about the evaluation of an amateur team coach? His remarks were quickly used by the media as a new excuse for ridicule-"A player who has received formal youth training for a professional team and scoring five or six goals in an amateur game is worth boasting about?"
