Godfather Of Champions

The Forest team won the League Cup, which is a big deal in Nottingham. Although there is a mortal enemy in the same city, this does not prevent the Forest team from driving the Forest team bus back to Nottingham from Cardiff.

This is a very grand welcome ceremony! You must know that it was the Forest team that won the European Champions Cup that year, and there was such a scene-fans spontaneously gathered outside Derby County Airport and drove to follow the team bus.

Nottingham Forest, which has fallen today, has long forgotten the taste of a championship, and even the glory of the European championship has gradually faded. At this time, Dunn asked them to relive this classic moment, how could he not make people crazy? So although it is only the League Cup champion with the lightest weight among the three English championships, the Nottingham Foresters have given enough enthusiasm.

champion! No matter what the champion, we only want the champion now! Nottingham Foresters have had enough days without a championship!

Pierce Bruce published a passionate article on the sidelines of the Nottingham Evening Post that afternoon. He wrote in it: "...Only a champion can make us remember again-we were once the king of Europe! We were once glorious! But the difference is that now we don't have to linger in the dreams of the past, we have new pride -Coach Tony Dunn and his Nottingham Forest!"

Almost all the local media in Nottingham-except for those supporting Notts County-reported on the front page of the forest team's victory. For the Forest team, which was almost on the verge of relegation in the first half of the season, their fans seemed to have made a thrilling roller coaster, experiencing ups and downs, pain and joy.

Not only the local media in Nottingham, because it became the first champion in England this season, other media have paid great attention to it. Miss Barbara Lucy is almost too busy to keep her professional smile... The Forest Club received interview requests from 56 media in just two days, and there were even a few of them. Overseas media.

If a family line up, it is estimated that they will be queued to the end of the season. And this kind of celebration-related activities takes too long, which will seriously affect the team's preparation for the league. After discussing with Alan Adams, Dunn decided to hold a press conference collectively to satisfy all media requirements.

The effect of the press conference is very good. The image of the Forest team has been further improved. Young and promising head coaches and American-style bosses are the focus of attention, plus the legendary experience of the Forest team so far this season— -In England for a period of time, "The Rising Nottingham Forest" will become a topic of conversation among many people after dinner.

Of course, what Dunn and Evan heard were not all good things.

For example, the "football critic" who publishes commentary articles on the official ESPN website-Mr. Jon Carter. In his comments after the game, he complained for Middlesbrough, believing that the Forest team won the championship in a very ugly way. They were not aggressive in the game, playing conservative and backward football, and even won the championship. This is the shame of the League Cup final. In the end, he also mocked the forest team's ranking in the first division:

"Who can imagine a team that is not playing in their country's top league to represent a country in the UEFA Cup? Let Nottingham Forest participate in the UEFA Cup. What do people from other countries think? They will laugh at England. There is no team that can take a shot! Don't you believe it? Let's wait and see!"

In addition, Mark Lawrenson, who was not optimistic about Dunn in the final stage of last season, once again talked about the prospects of the Forest team in the "Today's Game" program. He is still not optimistic that this team can be promoted to the Super League after the end of the season. . The reason seems very strong and convincing-because the Forest team spent too much energy in the League Cup, the smart coach will definitely give up the league, after all, they have already qualified for the UEFA Cup next season. UEFA did not say that teams in the second tier of a country cannot participate in the UEFA Cup.

The former Jon Carter, Dunn had never heard of this person's name before. He rarely goes to any ESPN website, and the traditional media does not have his name. He felt that as a "championship coach", he was scolded by an unknown man pointing his nose, very upset. So he asked Pierce Bruce: "Which **** came from where?"

Bruce told him the answer-Jon Carter is not well-known in English football commentary circles. This may be his first evaluation of real football. Because he has been publishing articles on the ESPN website, commenting on various football games, such as how "FIFA07" can surpass "Live Football Series", "Championship Manager Series" or "Football Experience Series" which is more playable... This kind of article.

His understanding of real football and the argument that he is seriously behind the times may all come from the information he obtained during the process of playing football games, and then processed it "take it for granted" before selling it.

Although Dunn is also a loyal player of various football games, it does not mean that he will have a cordial feeling for strangers he has never seen before. Dunn is now a bit famous, and suddenly wanted to vent his previous grievances of being besieged by the media on the poor Carter player, so he wrote a satire full of humor and exaggeration, and made the British feel that The open letter of "Chinese English" which is very new and unknown, made Brucedon published in the "Nottingham Evening Post" as a guy who doesn't understand anything but likes to talk casually, and slobbers when he meets his ideas. One of the fightbacks-he gave Mr. Carter a code name, "Tanzi".

Jon Carter, who was ridiculed by Dunn, was naturally unwilling to be humiliated, so he also published an article on ESPN to counterattack. Dunn was not in a hurry to reply, so it seemed that his eager hope was the same as his chatter. He threw a small article of a few hundred words in the Evening Post every three and a half times, to continue to mock the Mr. Troll who claimed that Nottingham Forest played football that was a century behind in world football.

In fact, the reason for the two people's verbal conflict in the media is very boring. Whether they are pursuing good-looking offensive football or pursuing utilitarian football that can bring championships, this topic, in Dunn’s own words, "has been talking about for half a century." , There is absolutely no need to continue the discussion. But Dunn's amazing rhetoric and humor in his reply feasted the audience's eyes. So this became another focus of English football for a period of time.

Because the people who play football are generally less educated, there are even many people who cannot speak fluent standard English. Therefore, head coaches like Dunn who can write sharp articles on their own and also use various rhetoric techniques have been sought after by many people.

For example, Plain_English_Campaign announced that English footballers should learn from Tony Dunn, because his metaphors are always right and impressive. Because they often complain that many people in football are unintelligible: "The'philosophical words' of the football community have always brought us great obstacles. They are used to speaking first and then thinking."

There was a lively battle between the two sides, and the president of the "Nottingham Evening Post" was also cleverly aware that this was an opportunity to make a fuss. So he used Pierce Bruce's mouth to send Dunn an invitation to open a column in their newspaper. Unfixed format, unfixed number of words, unfixed time... When Dunn has an idea about something or someone, and he wants to tell everyone, he can publish an article in his column. The newspaper paid Dunn's manuscript fee according to the number of words. If the contract expires and the two parties feel that they can continue to cooperate, the contract can be renewed.

Dunn thinks this idea is very good. He also eagerly hopes to have a platform where he can express his views. Every time he needs to hold a press conference, how inefficient it is...

The two parties negotiated the contract period and treatment, and immediately signed the agreement. In this way, for the first time in his life, Tang En had his own media column, and he could get the contribution fee.

Tony Dunn, who was supported by the "Nottingham Evening Post" manuscript fee, was fully fired, and Jon Carter was quickly defeated. So this origin is boring, just to unilaterally show Dun En's mockery level officially ended. Just like on the football field, Dunn also won the war in the media.

Jon Carter is a small character who is not well-known, and he is lighthearted. For the other person, Dunn had to deal with him in another way. He did not criticize Mark Lawrenson for his views on the prospects of his team, but he clearly told Mark Lawrenson in his column:

"...Just like many people once said that Nottingham Forest could not win the League Cup, just as many people asserted that Nottingham Forest must be relegated a few months ago, now some people jump out and say,'Nottingham Forest cannot be upgraded successfully'. I have always dismissed such statements, but I don’t want my players to think that I have acquiesced to this kind of nonsense. So I am very sincere and serious in asking Mr. Mark Laurensen to make a bet with me—— I bet that my team will appear in the English Premier League next season. If I win... Do you remember what Mr. Laurenson said last season? I would love to see him shave off his beard . If I lose, I will shave all my hair!"
