Godfather Of Champions

Although Dunn didn't say anything, the media, fans, and even the players knew that this was a game he gave up. He didn’t say it just because no head coach would say to his players before the game: "Guys, I gave up on this game today. You can figure it out." On the contrary, he hopes those who play today. The players know that as long as you perform well, you have the opportunity to get more playing opportunities. This is a game where you fight for your own interests.

As a result, there is not much playing time, and the players who have just joined the team ushered in their own performance time.

The starting goalkeeper is Barry Roche, a 21-year-old Irish teenager who rarely plays, and the central defender is a brand new combination-Clint Hill and Robert Hut. They have just transferred or loaned over and tied the ball. The team has been training together for less than a week, and Dunn's deployment of such a combination of central defenders can explain the problem.

In addition to the new combination of central defenders, Dunn also made some adjustments on the two full-backs. In the previous game, Chris Doig, who played central defender, went to play the left back, and the right back let John Thompson rest and mount. Xiu Louis-Jean.

The midfield is still two defensive midfielders, Branya Gunnarsson still starts, Eugen Pope is replaced by George Wood. Dunn's arrangement is actually preparing for the first round of the League Cup semi-finals, because the two people who will appear in the midfield are Gunnersson and Wood, and Eugen Pope cannot participate because of the suspension.

On the left, Dunn chose to let Chris Commmons play, and let Stephen McPhail come to the right. His instructions to Cammons were to make multiple passes, and his instructions to McPhail were to make multiple shots. On Ashley Young's side, Moore has only just contacted, and there is no result yet, so it can only be done. Brian Cash was completely abandoned by Dunn. If a team offered a suitable price at this time, he could leave immediately.

The combination sent by Dunn on the striker is David Johnson and Freddie Eastwood. Johnson basically can't play the game now, but he can still be a qualified substitute, and Eastwood, Dunn hopes to use the game to help him improve his state in order to attack him in the League Cup.

The players on the bench include goalkeeper Darren Ward, defenders Wes Morgan and John Thompson, midfielder Sergey Lebrov, and forward Gareth Taylor.

Looking at this lineup, it's no wonder that even Forest fans think it's normal to lose this game, because there will be more important League Cup semi-finals behind.

The head coach of the Reading team, Steve Koper, is Tony Dunn’s old acquaintance. He failed to coach in Brighton last season. Dunn also defeated him at Brighton's home court. After the end of that season, Brighton was relegated, but their coach "good guy" Mr. Koper got a better job-to become the head coach of the Reading team.

Reading is currently ranked fourth in the league and looks good. Mr. Koper’s head coaching course also seems to be on the right track.

Koper was also quite impressed with Dunn, because after the game last season, he spent two days finally trying to understand why Dunn would call himself a "good guy" at the press conference after the game. The conclusion that came out made him very angry because he was fooled by this young coach whose qualifications were not as good as his own.

When the two teams played against each other in the first half of the season, his team defeated Forest 3:0 at home. The only regret is that the forest is not the forest coached by Tony Dunn. This makes him feel that victory has become dull.

This time at the City Stadium, he hopes to use a victory to complete his revenge against Tony Dunn. Of course, he also believes that with the strength of the Reading team, facing such a forest team that is almost full of substitutes and rookies, winning should not be a problem.

But he was wrong.

※※※

These Nottingham Forest players will practice together for no more than a week, which is correct. So more than twenty minutes have passed since the game, and the Forest team could not pose any threat to Reading's goal. But the Redding team also found that they could not easily break through the forest team's gate.

Originally thought that two central defenders who had never partnered together would create a lot of loopholes in the forest team's defense. Although the facts were similar to this expectation, Koper did not expect that Dunn would actually play a defensive tactic on his home court. !

Eleven people, except Eastwood, all have to return to the penalty area to participate in the defense. Therefore, it is often seen that David Johnson does not go out of his penalty area for a long time.

Dunn didn't care about the thrilling and embarrassing scene of the team being beaten by the visiting team at home. Although the victory of this game was not planned, the famous Argentine football coach Bianchi once said: "Football game, you can't win, don't lose." Dunn did not expect the team to defeat Reading, but this is not Represents him to allow home losses. In order not to get too far away from other competitors, this game must not be lost.

Because the two central defenders are partners for the first time, it is inevitable that there will be various omissions, so the task of the defensive midfielder is very heavy. Not only must they organize a first line of defense outside the restricted area, they must also withdraw in time to act as a central defender and even a scavenger. Gunnarson doesn’t have to worry about Dunn, his experience ability is completely competent, as for Wood...

Dunn unconsciously glanced at the upper stage of the stands behind him.

There is a row of VIP boxes, George Wood's mother Sophia is sitting in it, watching her son's game with Evan.

With her, there shouldn't be any problems with Wood, right?

A sharp and hurried whistle sounded, pulling Dun En's mind back. He saw a player of the Reading team lying on the ground, their top scorer, Bermudian Shaun_Goater (Shaun_Goater)! He was Sun Jihai’s teammate at Manchester City last season. He scored 86 goals in seven seasons with Manchester City. He is one of the favorite players of Manchester City fans.

Now this old shooter, who scored 28 goals in the 01-02 season to help Manchester City return to the Premier League, and scored nine goals in the Reading team for half a season, is lying on the ground holding his calf in pain and reaching for a stretcher.

The person standing next to him was George Wood with a calm face. Even the referee showed him a yellow card, but his expression did not change.

Walker looked at Dunn, who had always valued Wood, and Dunn scratched his head. Uh, is this kid too excited?

The stretcher carried Gott down, and then Dunn saw a mixed-race guy called by Koper, listening to the coach’s instructions, while taking off his jacket, revealing the number and name inside-22, Tyson (Tyson).

"Nathan Tyson, forward." Walker said beside him, and Dunn nodded. Unexpectedly, Wood's yellow card replaced the opponent's main forward, and it was worth it. It is not so difficult to tie this game. Reading can now be ranked fourth in the league, and Gott's joining has played a big role. Koper's tactics were almost entirely developed around this tall Bermudian.

Although I don't know the specifics of Gott's injury, look at his movement of lying on a stretcher and covering his face with his hands... Dunn knows that the injury is not minor, it should not be the kind of injury that was absent for a week or two.

Wood, you kid... really a midfielder meat grinder, ace killer.

Dunn didn't know what Sophia felt when seeing his son playing cards, but he was very happy. Because Wood has overfulfilled the task he gave him before the game. For defensive players, fouls are normal. The number of fouls and the number of cards are also important data for judging the ability of the midfielder.

Modern football also requires defensive players not only to be able to tackle the opponent's ball, but also to be clean like a gentleman. They can't get a yellow card throughout their career. That is simply God.

Gott's injured end gave a warning to the opponents of the siege of the Forest: the boys of the Reading team, whoever dares to make a mistake in front of George Wood, the old man is the end!

As a result, the Reading team's offensive, which was crazily like a tide, slowly subsided, and the two sides entered a stalemate in the midfield. Wood and Gunnersson became the busiest and most photogenic players in the Forest team.

Dunn's division of the two defensive midfielders is as follows: Wood has good physical strength, fast speed, and the defense likes to grab, so let him go a little bit ahead and grab the first one. Gunnarsen is experienced and calm, so he protects behind Wood. If the opponent breaks through Wood, he immediately jumps on and entangles the opponent, giving Wood time to return.

Judging from the nearly 30 minutes of the game, the two men cooperated quite well, it was not like they had only trained together for half a month. Gunnarson also liked the feeling of cooperating with Wood. The two seemed to be in a natural understanding.

"George Wood, an 18-year-old young player who only entered the Nottingham Forest youth team for training at the age of 17. We don't have any information about his previous playing. I don't know if it's because of his low reputation and no relevant information, or... …Not at all." Mortensen looked at the detailed information of the players who played the Forest team. Everyone else had at least a few hundred words of introduction and explanation, but this George Wood file before 2003 was blank. "This is his first game for the Forest first team. From the 30-minute performance, this kid is very good! He and Gunnarson are in front of the central defender, running with no effort and fierce tackles. , Built an impenetrable wall. As a player representing the first team for the first time, we can hardly see the slightest tension on his face. The forest team’s youth training level is very high, Michael Dawson and Andy Reid After bringing eight million pounds to the team and leaving, it seems we don’t have to worry too much about their successors."

Maybe Mortensen himself didn't know, but now he has unknowingly become a supporter of the Forest team. This is why he explained many games with the Forest team. He likes to see Tony Dunn's wild performance on the sidelines and beautiful on-the-spot command. He also likes to see this team full of passion for victory. By the way, he looks forward to making him laugh without knowing when it will appear. "Accidents" to get up.

Even if the game scene is not good, he will quickly find the commendable aspect of the Forest team. Before putting it aside, he had already shook his head and sighed and criticized the game for lack of passion.

There is indeed something mysterious about Tony Dunn that attracts people around him, and John Mortensen is just one of them.
