Godfather Of Champions

The players took the team's bus back to the hotel to rest and disbanded the next morning for a holiday. But Dunn used the excuse to relax and act alone. Although he did not swear in the locker room, nor did he criticize Matthew Epson, who was annoyed for his mistakes, he did not even express disappointment with the team's last-minute performance. He just wished everyone a nice holiday and announced the dissolution.

He has been sitting in the locker room, waiting for the singing Arsenal fans outside to disperse before coming out. Apart from the working cleaners in the city stadium stands, no fans can be seen. A few fans gathered in the square outside, but they didn't care about the middle-aged man who walked out the door slowly.

Stepping out of the court, Dunn, who was standing on the edge of the square, didn't know where he was going. He didn't want to drink or find a girl. He is standing on the side of the road, intending to walk around casually, let his mind calm down, and then seriously think about the mistakes he made today, the shortcomings of the team, and plan the future direction of the team by the way.

The Premier League has been in three rounds. His team has not yet tasted the taste of victory. Think about the invincible Nottingham Forest in the First Division (now the English Championship)... Dunn doesn’t know if anyone else will have this. I thought that I won a low-level league championship and promoted to the Premier League. I was full of joy and anticipation, as if walking in the clouds. But in half a month, the team was beaten by the opponent and fell from the clouds. I'm afraid it's bigger than this.

No matter how many people the team bought and how much money they spent in the summer, Dunn would never think that his team had the ability to deal with multi-line combat. This has nothing to do with the thickness of the bench, but a problem of lack of experience. Neither this young forest team nor him had the experience of facing multiple fronts at the same time, and working **** one front was enough to make Dunn a headache.

He has to choose one and give up the others.

The answer is almost straightforward. No matter when, the league is the most important, and the league’s performance is the foundation. Even if you have won all the domestic cups, but you end up in the British championship, what's the point? It can be said that the cup results only represent the present and the past, while the league results represent the future of the team.

But when I thought about making it into the UEFA Cup and participating in a European tournament for the first time, it would be a pity if I just gave up like this.

For Dunn, playing in European competitions makes him more passionate than playing in domestic leagues, because there will be new opponents and more people will pay attention.

Another point is that European events can increase the chances of meeting other European powers. Although the Forest team hasn't done anything in the Premier League, Dunn can't wait to play against the European giants that could only be seen on TV before.

Thinking about it this way, the league is actually the most important thing. If the league results are not good, you will not be eligible for the European competition. The Forest team cannot play the UEFA Cup every year... The Champions League is Dunn's highest pursuit.

However, the UEFA Cup qualifications that were finally obtained cannot be let out in vain. At the very least, you have to get out of the group stage and enter the top 32 to prove your strength.

Although the Forest team is the champion of the English League Cup, they have to participate in the UEFA Cup qualifier first because it is the second domestic cup. According to the schedule, on September 16, the Forest team will host the Czech Republic's Oss. Trafal (Ostrava_Banik). Then on September 30th, the Forest team visited the Czech Republic for the second round of the qualifying round. Only after passing the qualifying test, the Forest team can participate in the main match and will be regrouped at that time. It is not known who their opponent will be, but no matter who it is, Dunn has the confidence to fight them.

Nottingham Forest may certainly not win the UEFA Cup, but we have to leave our voices and tell all Europe that we have been there before and we will come again...

The newspapers published the next day put Arsenal on the front page. Henry scoring, Fabregas assisting and coach Wenger, the photos of these three people became the pressure picture. As a team that has set a new record, it is no exaggeration how they are praised.

However, the Nottingham media only briefly mentioned Arsenal's new record. More attention is still placed on the Forest team. Almost everyone thinks that the Forest team's performance in yesterday's game gave them hope. Although they did not keep the 42-round unbeaten record set by the Forest team, they have more ambitious goals.

"... Let the record-breakers break the record, and we have reaped an exciting new forest." This is Pierce Bruce's commentary in the Evening Post, and he said many people's opinions. .

The team resumed normal training the next day. The first content of training is watching the game-Dunn showed the players the video of the game against Arsenal the day before yesterday, and then together with David Chris Lak, they analyzed and discussed the details of the game. This is not a criticism. At the conference, point out everyone’s problems so that they can be improved during training and pay attention to themselves during the game.

This is a kind of "training method" that Dunn has emerged within the team this season. By watching the video of the last game, I can find the problems of the team and the advantages of the team. But for this idea, Dunn would like to thank one person-Tang. It was just after seeing him come home all day to watch the videos, Dunn would discuss those game videos with him, and then think of the situation of the team, and came up with the idea: why can't the players gather to watch the game videos and discuss together Gains and losses?

Many details of the game were known at the time, and maybe forgotten afterwards. Wouldn't it be better to let everyone relive it through the video? What's more, you can use the remote control to repeatedly play, freeze, and rephrase a certain segment.

Such teaching methods are commonplace in the courses of the Coaching Association, but Dunn has not received a truly systematic coaching training before, so he ignored it.

Although I lost the ball, the atmosphere was very relaxed when watching the video. Unless Dunn is particularly angry, even critics will try to use ridicule as much as possible to make it easier for the players to accept, and at the same time, it can narrow the relationship with the players. As a coach, he has no other advantages, but he can get along well with the players, maybe it has something to do with being a fan before.

When talking to the players about the game yesterday, he never mentioned the word "record", as if it was just an ordinary league that could no longer be ordinary. David Chris Luck was responsible for the main commentary, Dunn added, and the two cooperated to tell the players yesterday's biggest mistake.

"Here...it is here..." Dunn pointed the remote control to the TV screen, which was the picture of Epson dropping his position and rushing towards Gilberto. "Matthew, are you attracted to the Brazilian from the opposite sex?"

Hearing the head coach say this, there was a huge roar of laughter in the video room. Matthew Epson shook his head vigorously in the laughter: "No, boss, my sexual orientation is normal."

There was another burst of greater laughter.

"Actually, when I saw this scene the day before yesterday, I was thinking: Oh my God! Matthew must be crazy. How does that Brazilian attract him? I don't even want my position..."

The laughter kept on.

"Okay, Matthew, explain to me what you thought at the time?"

The laughter subsided, and Epson scratched his head: "Uh, I don't know... I only had the idea of ​​not letting him shoot, and then..."

Dunn nodded, not entangled in the cause. "The central defender needs to be calm. You should learn from Hierro. Look at him at that time..." Dunn pointed to Hierro in the corner of the screen, "Stable and motionless! This is the experience!"

Hierro raised his hand: "Boss, I was actually too tired to run."

"Hahahaha!"

Even Dunn laughed this time. Of course he knew that Hierro couldn't run at the time. He was joking on purpose to relieve the pressure on the young team in this way. For three consecutive league rounds without a win, I believe everyone is under pressure.
