Godfather Of Champions

By winning the first round of the League Cup semi-final with Bolton, Dunn gained not only a victory, but also a higher reputation. Now the whole of the UK knows that Nottingham Forest has a talented coach. He was young, but led a team that was ranked fourth from last in the First Division to the semifinals and won the semifinals against the Premier League team. .

After the Forest team scored the first goal, the scene where he was overwhelmed and celebrated by the players was placed in a small section called "2_Good_2_Bad" in the Sunday edition of "Today's Game", which is only available in the Sunday edition. The small columns of, generally only focus on the essence of the Premier League, rarely show other league pictures. But Dunn’s fact is so interesting, so the editors also added this to the highlights.

The host of the show, Adrian_Chiles (Adrian_Chiles), a famous BBC motto, added his free-play lines to this scene, and it sounded humorous and made things that were already interesting more interesting.

"Goal scored! This is great, hey...hey! Hey! Freddie, you went to the wrong place...ah! Who will~~help me~~~~ well, Tony Dunn maybe He is the only head coach who doesn’t want his team to score..."

The host and guests laughed.

So everyone knows that there is still such a coach in England-he is the happiest player after his players score, and he is also the happiest.

Not only Tony Dunn, but also his Forest team, and those young players who performed well in the promotion of reputation.

George Wood only played two games for the Forest first team, but some teams have asked the Forest team for a price.

This is a matter of player buying and selling. Evan Daugherty kept his promise and did not intervene, but let Dunn figure it out. Dunn's attitude is very firm-not to sell!

He knows how much football lacks a midfielder in a few years. As long as Wood continues to play like this, his worth will soon rise. Now someone offers to sell? He is not a fool. Besides, the club has just signed an eight-year contract with Wood. Is it a decoration?

In fact, Dunn didn't worry about Wood's loyalty issue. The club helped him so much. This kid knew in his heart that he knew whether to stay or leave. But this incident made Dunn start to care about another thing for Wood—George Wood might have an agent to help him with personal affairs and financial management.

The players union can also help the player, negotiate contracts for him and the club, and deal with some financial issues. Although this can avoid being exploited by those 10% gentlemen,...has anyone ever seen a big star who has to be contracted by the players union?

Dunn believes that Wood will definitely become a big star, but there is a prerequisite-under him, not transfer to other teams.

He is not opposed to players looking for an agent, because they need such a professional to help them manage finances and handle public relations. The head coach is not a god, everything has to be considered for the players. These things are what the agent should do. What he hates is the kind of agent who desperately confuses the players with the club and the coach for their own interests rather than the interests of the players, makes endless demands for raises, and threatens the team with transfers at every turn.

Why do you hate it? It's not that players and agents make money, but because they want to fight against Tony Dunn, who is the head coach, they will violate Dunn's interests, which Dunn cannot allow.

Therefore, if Wood is looking for an agent, he must find someone he thinks can be trusted. If possible, it is best not to be a big-name agent. There is not much energy in this circle, and there is nothing to mess around. But at the same time, he was able to work hard to pack for Wood, and the commercial operation was very successful, allowing Wood to make a lot of money and let their family live a worry-free life...

Is this requirement a bit high?

Dunn shook his head and decided not to think about this problem.

You can take your time to find an agent, but the game is not waiting. A week later, Dunn led the morale of Nottingham Forest at Bolton’s home stadium, Reebok Stadium. This time, although his team lost to the other side, they scored a valuable goal. The rules of the League Cup semi-finals are not the same as in the general cup. If the two sides are tied, the away goal will not be considered, but the overtime will continue. If there is a tie in the overtime, then it will be the turn to compare away goals. , Winning with more away goals. If the away goal is the same, a penalty kick will be played.

Nottingham Forest beat Bolton 3:1 at their home game. They went to the away game. Bolton team tried very hard to defeat the Forest team. They did it, but it was still to no avail. When the final whistle sounded, the big screen scoreboard showed the final score-2:1. Bolton won the game, but lost the entire semifinal.

The man who scored the key goal for the Forest was the tall striker Crouch, who was loaned from Aston Villa. His career was in a deep winter with his former club. Unexpectedly, he came to the Forest for two consecutive games. There are goals. Seeing that big man's outstanding performance on the court, and constantly using his excellent skills to create opportunities for his teammates, Andy Gray in the commentary can't help but admire Dunn's ability to train players. He is really unique in stimulating players' potential and helping them build self-confidence. There was Rebroff in the front, Eastwood in the back, and now there is another Crouch. It's no wonder that he is so popular and popular among players. Can players not love a head coach who can revive the players who have fallen into the trough?

The final whistle blew by the referee also became the prelude to the carnival of Nottingham Forest players. They celebrated reaching the League Cup final at the opposing team's home court. Although the League Cup is tasteless in the eyes of the Premier League, its only role is to train young players and reserve teams, but for Nottingham Forest, a declining power that has been struggling in the low-level league for many years, reaching the League Cup final is more than just It means they will have a chance to win a championship.

More importantly, this makes people reminisce about the years that have passed. Twenty years ago, Nottingham Forest swept English football and the European continent in a red jersey. Now, that formidable team seems to be lost in the dust of time, just as the Nottingham people thought they would never be. When I couldn't see the Red Forest, Tony Dunn brought that team back through time and space!

"The game is over! In stark contrast to the frustrated Bolton players, the ecstatic Nottingham Forest players! They reached the League Cup finals, this is their first time in the finals since they won the League Cup runner-up in 1992! Twelve years have passed! , The final venue of the League Cup has also changed from Wembley to Cardiff Millennium Stadium, and the Red Forest is finally back!” Andy Gray’s emotional comment at the last moment of the commentary made people feel like he was a Nottingham Forest fan , But in fact he is an Everton supporter.

Yes! we are back! Nottingham Forest is back!

Those Nottingham Forest fans who could not go to watch the game and could only watch the game in front of the TV or radio made a shout that could be heard throughout England.

"On February 29th, Cardiff Millennium Stadium! Let us look forward to the League Cup final between Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough! Will Middlesbrough get the second League Cup in their club’s history, or Nottingham Forest has won the Cup for the fifth time and has become the second most won team in the history of the League Cup? Everyone, we will see the difference by then!"

The celebration of the Forest team was crazy, but when they entered the locker room, Dunn's face became stern, which is not the time to celebrate now.

"Guys, now I give you ten minutes to take a shower and change clothes, and then we will leave here by car. If you want to celebrate with champagne, wait for the evening of February 29!"

When he said so, everyone calmed down and went to the shower to change clothes honestly.

Then Dunn turned to attend the press conference. As a winner, he was qualified to let Bolton's coach Sam Allardys wait in the press hall for a while.

The winner is the protagonist in the press conference, which can almost be regarded as a law. Dunn faced the most problems, and most of them were about the forest team reaching the League Cup final again 12 years later. Dunn was in a good mood. He was not bored with these repeated questions, but he was also very smart. He did not reveal any plans for the finals at the press conference, and even his goal was not told to the media.

Of course he hopes to win the championship. He has made it to the finals. What else does he say, "We have an attitude of learning", "We will do our best, we will work hard, and the result is not important"... What is the meaning of such hypocritical words? Of course we are here to fight for the championship. Failure to win the championship is a failure!

But there is no need to tell the media in this case.

Although Allardys, who lost the ball, was a little frustrated, he also praised the performance of the Forest team at the press conference and said a few good things to Dunn. It is really impressive that he can achieve such an achievement at such a young age. admire.

When he said this, the reporters turned their attention to Dunn's age again. Indeed, as a head coach leading the team to the League Cup final, thirty-five years old is really too young. He is even one year younger than the Bolton player Djokaf who is playing on the field! The reporters who discovered this were excited. This is a good topic of hype!

Dunn’s reaction to this was dull: “Since the player is fifteen years old, he can represent the club’s first team and the national team at sixteen. Why can’t the coach be younger? I don’t think age is a problem. The key is to lead the team. Achievements. Whether you are 76 or 26, as long as you can lead the team to victory, you are a good coach!"

His remarks were published in the newspaper the next day, and everyone knew that there was such a triumphant coach.
