Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 195: Volume 3 Red Forest European Championship (Part 1)

The 2004 European Cup was a European Cup that Dunn could not remember except for the Greek team two years later. In that tournament, whether it was Rooney’s turnout or Zidane’s last-minute turnaround, it looked amazing at the time, but in the end, it turned out that it was the team that impressed him the most. Not a star.

This time, being able to revisit the European Cup on the spot is one more experience, which makes Dunn feel that there are still many benefits to crossing forward. In addition, he can also learn up close how Rehagel uses tactics. The overall tactics of the Greek team are too strong, Dunn even felt that it completely surpassed any team in that European Cup. They deserved to win the championship in the end.

The only thing that worries him now is whether the chain reaction of his arrival will affect the European Cup in Portugal? What if Greece can't win the final championship? Of course, there will inevitably be luck in winning the championship, but Dunn thinks that Rehagel's tactical idea that the Greek team showed to the world football in the European Championships will still be spread and promoted, but if they win the championship, This promotion is faster...

In the past, everyone said that the Greek team was technically rough. The defensive counterattack was to intercept the ball by intensive defense, then drive to the front with a big foot, and then use the advantage of the high center forward to form a threat.

However, what the Greek team showed in the big game was another kind of defensive counterattack-starting from stealing the ball and then advancing to the opponent's penalty area. The speed was very fast, but not blindly long passes, which made the football fly in the air without landing. . The small cooperation and quick passing between the two or three of them are the essence of Rehagel's defensive counterattack. Watching those big guys pass the football skillfully, and then after a few passes, they get to the opponent's goal, stop the ball and move in the right position, even if it is a defensive counterattack, it is also a pleasure.

"Nottingham Evening Post" knows that Dunn is going to Portugal to watch football, so he hopes that he will write his watch notes in his column. Tang En Zhengshou didn't know what to write. Now he decided to stare at Greece. No matter whether this team can win the championship, they will surely bring surprises to the world.

Pierce Bruce was a little bit embarrassed when he heard Dunn’s plan: "Uh, we actually want you to write about England..."

Dunn shrugged: "Everyone is writing about England, and I don't want to join in the fun. Mr. Reporter, I bet you that the biggest dark horse in this European Championship will be Greece!" There is another reason why he didn't say it, because he really is. I don't like Eriksson very much, so I have never been optimistic about England's future in the competition.

At the World Cup in 2202, the English media preached that the current England was the best team since winning the World Cup in 1966. What happened? They lost to the Brazil team, who stumbled in the qualifiers and was forced by Turkey in the first game. The only thing that deserves their gratification is that Brazil finally became the champion of that World Cup. In the 2004 European Cup, Dunn, who was still a fan, was also not optimistic, so it made sense when Rooney was injured and then eliminated by the host from a penalty kick. In the 2006 World Cup, if it were not for David Beckham, who was criticized by the media as useless, perhaps Eriksson's team would not even be able to make it out of the group stage.

The English people have a sense of arrogance. They always think that they are the birthplace of modern football. Their level is supposed to be the best in the world, so no matter what star they produce, their media will become a world-class star. The England team composed of this group of "world-class" stars is naturally the best solution team.

Their arrogance is not only reflected in football, but also in all aspects of society. Many people must still be remembering the past, how brilliant the empire is when the sun never sets. Now its influence in the international arena has weakened, and it has even become a follower of the United States. They can only use that ridiculous arrogance to continue to maintain their dignity in their hearts.

Dunn is not interested in this ridiculous national pride. He is not an Englishman himself, and he has no affection for the empire when the sun never sets. Coupled with his clear knowledge of the fate of the England team in this European Championship, there is really no way to pretend to be looking forward to telling readers: We will definitely become champions!

Eriksson is more suitable for the coach of the most club than for the national team. Because of his soft personality.

Maybe it's prejudice. Dunn thinks that people with a soft personality are not suitable to be the head coach of a strong team.

"Greece?" Bruce was stunned. "It's been a long time since I heard this name in an international competition. Are you really sure?"

Dunn nodded: "Yes, because they have a very, very good head coach and a group of good players."

On the plane to Lisbon, Portugal, Dunn also talked to Tang about this issue. He believes that the Greek team's tactics can be used for reference in the first season after the promotion of the Forest team.

Compared with others in the Super League, the Forest team does not have an advantage in strength. And many teams will have some underestimation when they are promoted, and they don't understand. The Forest team can use defensive counterattacks to stabilize their position in the league.

Tang wondered why Dunn knew so much about a national team that was not familiar to all of Europe. Dunn can only scratch his head and say that he prefers to follow those small teams...

Pierce Bruce arrived in Portugal earlier than Dunn, but he and Dunn’s attention is different. In order to bring back the news that readers care about most, he has to follow the England team throughout. All things big and small have to be reported back, even if the wives of the players wear clothes on the streets are the focus of reporters' attention.

Before the opening of the big game, the English newspapers were almost full of various reports about the England team. Dunn capitalized the Greek team in the Evening Post, and no one cared at all.

After the opening game ended, Bruce's first reaction was to find the Evening Post that published Dunn's column the day before. Comparing the above words with the opening game one by one, he found that he might have to admit that Tony is God...

What he said the day before was completely correct after the game.

It was not only Bruce who was surprised, but also Tang who was always inseparable from Dunn. It's just that he was surprised earlier, because he watched the opening match with Dunn, and Dunn kept discussing with him the tactics used by Greece and Portugal during the game.

When Karagounis scored the first goal, Dunn asserted that Rehagel's tactics could completely restrain Portugal. After watching the first half, Tang had completely believed in the man walking beside him.

Scolari is the master, and so is Rehagel. Rehagel's available cards are not as good as Scolari's, but Rehagel has the upper hand. Perhaps in the eyes of the host and many fans, the Greek team is playing boring football with ten defending and one attacking. But from a coach's point of view, Tang thinks everything is normal.

The Greek team does not have the capital to jump the European samba in front of the Portuguese. To prove that they are not as weak as the host, there is only one way-to defeat them, no matter what tactics are used.

Rehagel did it, and the result that no one could think of before the game really appeared in front of everyone, even though he said after the game: "This is the most important victory in the history of the Greek national team!" But Dunn and Tang Everyone knew that Rehagel hadn't been dizzy. He knows very well what his purpose for participating in the European Cup is, not to win the next opener, or score a goal, or tie a game... He has a great goal, but no one knows.

Dunn knows.

In the following days, apart from taking the time to write a column for the Evening Post, Dunn and the two basically spent the road running around. They watched most of the matches that could be seen live, and the remaining matches were also watched on TV and recorded.

Dunn came to Portugal to watch the game on the spot. On the one hand, he looked at cheap and practical players. On the other hand, he learned from the experience of excellent coaches. Whether it was a success or a failure, he and Tang learned to analyze the list.

In terms of players, Dunn was a little disappointed in this cup. Those young people called "the hopeful stars of this cup" are all well-known for a long time. They don't have any freshness at all, so the Shorten Forest team wanted to buy. There are a lot of competitors-such as Wayne Rooney who is still playing in Everton, and the media hype in England. Experts agree that Rooney is England’s biggest gain in this European Championship, but Dunn knows him. After the European Cup, it will be bought by Manchester United at a high price. The Forest team wants to compete with Manchester United? Don't even think about it!

As for the new Dutch star Robben, the Swedish rookie Ibrahimović, the young Czech national Cech, etc.... They are not newcomers in the strict sense. Which of them is not a long-standing person? Robben and Cech have already been booked by Chelsea. If Evan Doggety is richer, can he be richer than Abramovich? Although Ibrahimović eliminated the Italian team in this European Cup, Italian clubs are very interested in him. If there is no surprise, Juventus should succeed in grabbing this young Swedish man who was known as the "Bastien No. 2" during the Ajax era.
