Godfather Of Champions

The boss is dead? how can that be? In May, we were drinking and chatting together. How can you say that you die?

He was awakened by the whistle, turned to look at the team that was still training, and walked over.

"David." He waved to his assistant coach.

Chris Lak ran over: "Tony, what did Mr. Chairman ask you for?"

Dunn didn't answer Chris Lak's question. He looked at his assistant and the players who were still training and didn't know anything, his eyes wandering.

Chris Lack noticed that in addition to his partner's abnormality, he followed Dunn's eyes and turned to look, training everything was normal.

"Tony, what's the matter with you?"

"Um... David, you arrange the training for tomorrow and tomorrow, and I won't come."

"What's the matter, Tony?" Chris Lak felt more weird, and he asked.

"I'm going to a private funeral, I think I must go..."

"Funeral? Whose..."

"The boss, the boss... the funeral."

Chris Luck was also stunned when he heard Dunn's words.

In just an hour, with the help of the developed Internet and TV news networks, the news of coach Brian Clough’s death spread throughout the UK.

Pierce Bruce stood in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by fellow reporters like him. Derbyshire General Hospital has just concluded its press conference, and the scene is a bit chaotic now. At the press conference, the spokesperson of Derby County General Hospital, apart from reporting the cause of Clough’s death, was also using Mrs. Clough’s words to praise his hospital’s work. "She is very grateful to all the medical staff in the hospital for their performance during the last time with Clough..."

But these are not things that journalists care about.

It is not news that Clough has been in poor health recently. He had undergone liver transplantation a year ago and was hospitalized many times, but no one thought that this time would be a real goodbye.

"...He was found to have stomach cancer after the liver transplant operation, but he himself refused to do the operation. We don't know what Clough thinks, until now he is the most special character in English football. He has done many things and said many things that make people feel incomprehensible. But his status here is unquestionable. It is a pity that this special person has left us forever..."

The BBC reporter next to Bruce is holding a microphone and reporting live to the camera.

"Special people"...

James Robson, the top reporter of the newspaper who came with Pierce Bruce, patted him: "Let's go, there is nothing to look at here."

"Where are we going?" Bruce asked.

"Go back and write a report."

"But we haven't interviewed anything worthwhile..."

"What value do you think you can interview? It's not just us, but all the media in England are the same-go back and look at the game video of the Forest team, find out previous news reports about Clough, and write about this person Memoirs." Robson shrugged. "When he wasn't dead, he was a guy who likes to be pushy. Now he is dead, he is still pushy...The only thing that is most valuable here is-Brian Clough, that Nottingham The founder of the Forest Dynasty, a legend in English football, made many people like it, and made many people curse why he was not dead, and finally died."

Robson looked at Bruce and said, "Are you surprised why I said that? Boy, when I was as young as you, the first interview task I completed was to report on Brian Clough at the City Stadium. The head coach of the Forest team. If you look at how he brought the Forest team to the top and how he continues to fight the media, you can understand how I feel about him..."

The two walked to the parking lot and got into the car, then Robson started the car and drove slowly away from the chaotic hospital gate.

"Pierce, do you want to sum up his life? Only one word is allowed."

While driving, Robson and Bruce continued the conversation.

"Hmm... I think maybe he is a great coach? Or successful... legendary..."

Robson shook his head every time Bruce reported a word.

"I can't figure it out." Bruce surrendered.

"Do you know, Pierce. At your age, standing in this era, and looking at Clough, you will think that he is a very successful and admirable coach. But people of our time don't think so, right Later people said that he may be a god, and to us old guys, he is a person. So if it were me, I would choose the word-unusual (remarkable)."

"unusual?"

"Yeah." Robson nodded. "He is definitely not the greatest and most successful coach in the history of English football, but he is definitely the most unusual one and cannot be copied."

Hearing how his predecessors commented on Brian Clough, Bruce suddenly thought of Tony Dunn. He always felt that there were many similarities between the two.

"Mourinho and Tony Dunn, compared to him, are just another style of coach. No one can copy Brian Clough, no one..." As if he had guessed Bruce. Mind, Robson murmured.

The car drove past Pride Park, the home court of the Derby County Club. A lot of fans have gathered outside the stadium to mourn. These people are old Derby County fans. They still remember how Clough led a Derbyshire team that had never been favored to the English Premier League. The legendary experience of the champion.

But because Clough used to instigate fans to take to the streets to protest in order to force the club to submit. So the relationship between this old man and the Derby County club has not been very good...

There seemed to be something fluttering in the corner of the car window, attracting Bruce's eyes. He turned his head and looked over, only to realize that it was the flag of the Derby County Club. Usually it is always high on the top of the flagpole, which is not easy to see. But today, the Derby County Club lowered half-mast for this old coach who has been with infinite controversy throughout his life.

He really is an "unusual" big man...
