Godfather Of Champions

When time passes through July, it enters August. Nottingham Forest quietly withdrew from transfers. When the media was still guessing who Tony Dunn’s next target was, the Forest team had integrated the team and fixed the lineup. The rest of the time will be spent on opponents preparing for the new season.

For this reason, in addition to his usual training, he does not go to the bar every night to drink, but at home with Tang Wo to watch the video data of all their opponents in the Premier League game, researching all the 19 Premier League teams except their Forest team. Summer transfer information to understand whether these opponents have strengthened or weakened.

Dunn’s recognition of being three years ahead of the world played an important role at this time. Regarding this summer’s transfer, everyone actually couldn’t see through—I don’t know if someone bought by a certain team is worth his worth. , I don’t know if a certain unknown kid will perform beyond people’s expectations, and I don’t know who will be worth the money after a season, and who will become a parallel importer.

But Dunn knew that he knew who bought the right one after a season, and who had lost money.

When discussing the Premier League with Tang, he would also mention the names of some people, but he would not say too clearly-he was afraid of causing Tang's suspicion. After all, he came from the future, and Tang just possessed him in parallel.

Even if the two of them have the same experience, they can have a tacit understanding beyond ordinary people. But there will still be secrets that belong only to him, Dunn will not tell Tang, I am afraid Tang will not want to let Dunn know.

If you look at the score, Tony Dunn spent more than 12 million pounds to build the new forest team, obviously not satisfactory.

The results of the five warm-up matches were two draws and two losses. The biggest problem exposed is not a lack of tacit cooperation, insufficient physical recovery... and other conventional problems, but he found that the team has not many ways to switch from defense to offense, and lacks the most efficient means when attacking. Albertini is the core of the Forest team, but he has not yet fully adapted to the style of English football-in one word, this style is "fast", fast offensive, fast defensive, from defensive to offensive, from offensive to offense. It is also fast to defend, and to maintain this fast pace in the fierce confrontation, it is a bit difficult for Albertini, who is used to Italian football.

But Dunn gave him full trust. Even if it was obvious that his poor performance caused the team to lose, he would not criticize the Italian veteran in the press conference after the game. If the reporters have to get worse on this issue, he will stubbornly say that Albertini is still in the running-in period with the team, and it is normal that his state is unstable and not ideal.

He does not doubt Albertini's ability and professional ethics, the only problem is the adaptation of the football style, which takes time. And he believes that at Albertini's age, there is no need for the coach to spur, and the players themselves want to prove themselves more urgently than anyone else.

As a veteran, Hierro did a good job defensively, but due to his age, he has completely abandoned his offensive ability and concentrates on defense.

In the warm-up game that only joined the team this summer, perhaps the most satisfying is Australian striker Viduka. After all, whether it is adapting to the Premier League or the game experience, age, technical characteristics, and the Forest team are very in line. Compared with the 02-03 season, Viduka’s performance in Leeds United’s last season dropped slightly because of the club’s crisis. To be honest, there were not many players who wanted to play. That's it-despite this, he has scored 11 goals in 30 appearances in the league.

Viduka scored three goals in five warm-up matches and is the team's player with the most goals in the warm-up match. Because of his excellent state, Crouch can only be a substitute for him. He partnered with the more flexible Freddy Eastwood.

Nicklas Bentner and Pete Crouch will be the substitutes on the front line. Dunn will consider rotating when necessary. In addition, if the situation cannot be opened, he will be replaced by Crouch with very distinct technical characteristics. And the tall and tall Bendtner with an excellent header is also a good choice. After all, Premier League opponents are more familiar with Viduka and most strange to Bendtner.

The biggest advantage of the Forest team is not that they are young, but that they are too strange to their opponents in the Premier League. Half of the team are rookies and the others are people who have never played in the Premier League. They need to adapt. Premier League, Premier League teams also need to be familiar with them.

In August, the Premier League will have four rounds of matches. The forest team's schedule is weak at the beginning, and the more difficult it becomes later. In the first round, the Forest team will challenge Blackburn away. In the second round, back home to face Aston Villa, the opponent's strength has begun to improve. In the third round, the real tough battle-against defending champion Arsenal at home! In the fourth round, Everton challenged away.

In fact, the "weak" mentioned above is all relative. Dunn took a look, and he didn't think which of the four opponents was "weak". After entering the Premier League, for the Forest team, any opponent can be better than them. The days when the teams that were ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the league played casually are gone forever...

On August 8th, Dunn announced that the team would be off for a day, and then he took David Chris Lak to Cardiff, the capital of Wales, and watched a game at his lucky place in the Millennium Stadium-the 04-05 season. England Community Shield Cup. He didn't go as a fan of both teams, he was to observe and understand the forest team's two opponents this season more closely.

Don't dare to make such a promise as a league champion. The Premier League and the League One are completely two different concepts of competition, and can almost be regarded as two worlds.

Last season, Arsenal led by Wenger created a great record of 38 consecutive league rounds of unbeaten titles. Although this is not the unbeaten record of England's top league, it can be achieved in today's more intense competition and confrontation. It is not easy to remain unbeaten in a season. With such Arsenal, can Dunn dare to say that he won the league championship this season?

Arrogance is not the same as an idiot, he knows what can be mad and when to keep a low profile.

Arsenal and Manchester United are the biggest pair of enemies since the establishment of the Premier League. In the past, the relationship between Manchester United and Arsenal may have been so tense in the past ten years. The person who changed all of this was the Gunners coach Frenchman Arthur Wenger. After winning the first two consecutive seasons of the Premier League, Ferguson began to look forward to his dynasty in the Premier League. Blackburn's midway usurpation is generally considered to be a flash in the pan for upstarts, and it cannot pose any threat to Manchester United at all. In the season, Manchester United successfully overtook Blackburn.

In the first five years of the Premier League, Manchester United won four championships. The light belonged to Ferguson and his Manchester United team. Just when Ferguson has laid the foundation for his Manchester United dynasty, and the next step is to continue to consolidate, the French Wenger came. Wenger, who is still coaching the team in Japan, is unknown, no one knows his name and ability, and some even laugh at the Frenchman-Britain and France have always been at odds.

The results of it? Wenger came to Arsenal in the first season, won the league championship, and they also called the double crown of the season, the FA Cup champion was also in the bag. Wenger gave Spring Breeze the proud Ferguson a head, and let the two head coaches and the two teams form a bridge.

As of the end of the 03-04 season, for the next six years, the Premier League is basically a situation where Manchester United and Arsenal are competing for hegemony. They have each other's victory and defeat, Liverpool completely sinking, and Chelsea are not stable enough. Two traditional giants, two head coaches full of unique personal charms, and a team deeply imprinted on them, the grievances between the two sides have run through most of the Premier League.

So as long as the two teams meet, it must be a hot scene, playing from the field to off the field, and the audience and the media are so addicted to it, which makes the FA feel a headache.

Even if it is a mere community shield, it is also a battlefield for them to compete. Dunn watched the game seriously on the field, greedily absorbing everything he could learn-the on-the-spot substitutions of the two old coaches, the starting lineup, the actual tactics during the game... etc. The outcome of the game was reversed. Is the most important thing.

It was not until the end of the game that Dunn, who saw the score, remembered that this result did not deviate from the history in his memory-Arsenal defeated Manchester United 3-1 and won the first championship trophy of the season. Even the player who scored the goal was exactly the same: Arsenal’s Gilberto opened the scoring for Arsenal, and then rejected the Forest team this summer. Alan Smith, who switched to Manchester United, scored his first place since joining the Red Devils. A goal in a formal match helped the team tie the score. Then the Spanish teenager Reyes helped Arsenal take the lead again. In the end, Manchester United's Sylvester became Arsenal's "hero", and his own goal helped Arsenal secure the victory.

After the game, the Arsenal players excitedly held up a gleaming silver trophy, cheering and celebrating their first championship this season. Manchester United's players started early, unwilling to serve as a background at the opponent's celebration banquet, and use their own loss to set off the opponent's joy.

Dunn was also not interested in Arsenal’s championship celebrations. He and David Klislak rushed out of the stadium with the crowds and planned to return to Nottingham by car.

Arsenal fans are still reluctant to disperse in the stadium, and celebrate the victory with their team. Almost all fans of Manchester United who are dejected are now playing. Dunn is surrounded by fans wearing Manchester United jerseys. Some of them are silent and frustrated and just bow their heads on the road. Others are still unwilling to fail, chattering and people around Arguing about the game that just ended. There is such a fat man beside Dunn and Chris Lak. All the way from the stands, he complained to Dunn how unfair the result of the game was. In the end, they will part ways, and he shrugged again. : "Now, let's give them the Community Shield. The league champion is ours!"
