Godfather Of Champions

This is Dunn's second funeral after arriving in the UK. But compared with the first time, Dunn did not feel sad. The boss always makes him have a very complicated feeling, like? respect? Some dissatisfaction... intertwined, so he couldn't have tears on his face like the boss's family.

This is indeed a private funeral, very, very private. Apart from Clough's family, there is only one "outsider" Dunn. He was wearing a black suit and sunglasses, standing behind them with his head bowed, and silently attended the funeral.

Except when I first met Ms. Barbara, I comforted her a few words-even though she didn't seem to need comfort-he didn't say a word during the whole funeral ceremony, and the ritual procedures did not arrange for him to give any speech. .

Other people... Ian Bowyer, Des Walker, Stuart Pierce, Martin O’Neill, Trevor Francisco... These people were not invited, only invited him to know the boss The latest junior. Dunn wanted to let himself participate in this very private funeral, would it mean the boss?

After the funeral, a group of people walked out of the cemetery behind the church silently. Dunn didn't know what to say, so he could only keep silent. Not far in front is everyone's car, it seems that the funeral is about to end here. Dunn thought he should rush back to Nottingham to join the team. At this time, Ms. Barbara in front stopped and then turned to look at Dunn.

Dunn knew she had something to say to herself, so she stopped.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Dunn, let you come at this time." Barbara lowered her head and said.

Dunn waved his hand quickly: "No, I think I should come. It is my honour for you to invite me."

"Actually... Bryan didn’t say who could attend his funeral. In the last few days, he was always in a coma. After discussing with the children, I decided to hold a private funeral. Bryan didn’t like the media before. I don’t like it, so we don’t want to be disturbed by people we don’t know. And you, Mr. Dunn... Do you know about Bryan being interviewed after Arsenal tied the Forest?"

Dunn nodded.

After the Forest team drew with Arsenal, Arsenal set a new consecutive unbeaten record. The media interviewed Brian Clough for this purpose, hoping to hear his views on Arsenal's new record. In the face of these media, Clough satisfies them very well. He praised Arsenal’s football as wonderful as he saw Marilyn Monroe in his dream. “If anyone can break that record, then he must It's Wenger's Arsenal."

Then he talked about the recent Chelsea coach Mourinho, who is not weak in the limelight recently. He calls the Portuguese his heir. Whether he was handsome when he was young, or his coaching style, he was very similar. When he was a coach, Clough was a very eye-catching head coach. He was always able to attract the attention of the media. He unscrupulously expressed his views, his personality was open, and he would often say those that would be regarded as classics in the future. "Quotations". And these characteristics, now Mourinho also has.

So the media began to call Mourinho "Clauf Second", but ignored their previous comparison of Tony Dunn and Brian Crawf.

Clough didn't mention Tony Dunn a word in the interview.

——Who is my favorite coach? Of course it is Wenger, he is my idol.

——Who is the coach who looks most like me? Of course it was Mourinho, because he was as handsome as I was when I was young.

"But do you know who he mentioned the most at home?"

Dunn shook his head.

"It's you, Mr. Dunn." Ms. Barbara pointed to Dunn. "He always tells us about your forest team. When you beat Manchester City, he was as excited as a young man in front of the TV... Can you imagine, Mr. Dunn, an old man raised his fists from the sofa? How did you jump up?"

Dunn continued to shake his head, he really couldn't imagine. When playing Manchester City, the boss's body should not be too good...

Ms. Barbara smiled, but the smile disappeared quickly. "He always tells us about you, so my children and I feel as if we have known you for a long time."

Dunn himself was surprised at everything Barbara said: "I don't know the boss... well, he never talks to me about this."

"You know, Mr. Dunn. Brian is such a person. Sometimes you think he is very arrogant and extreme, but in fact he is just hiding himself. He rarely praises this person in front of a person. So it always makes people feel that he is a little cold. I don't think Brian will have the opportunity to say this to you. Thank you, Mr. Dunn, you have made Brian's last two years very happy."

After Ms. Barbara bid farewell to Dunn, she drove away. Dunn stood alone outside the church, slowly recalling what he had just heard.

He still clearly remembers the first time he saw Brian Clough. The aggressive old man couldn't answer his questions the first time he met.

"Boy, what do you think the head coach does?"

"Lead the team to victory..."

"That's just part of the job."

Dunn was awakened by the sound of a car horn. He saw Pierce Bruce, a reporter sitting in a jeep, looking at him.

"Why are you here, Mr. Reporter?" Dunn was a little surprised.

"Uh..." Bruce scratched his head. "Although Mrs. Clough said that this funeral was private, you know that the public wants to know something... but I didn't see anything." He shrugged, "I almost I ran through all the churches in Middlesbrough to find this place. Seeing you here, I knew I was in the right place, but obviously I was late."

"No, you didn't come late, on the contrary, you came at the right time." Dunn shook his head and said, "because I just need a car to take me back to Nottingham."

Pierce smiled: "Get in the car, Mr. Coach."

On the way back to Nottingham from Middlesbrough, the news of the death of Brian Clough was almost always mentioned on the radio in the car, and the honors he had made in Nottingham Forest were also mentioned again.

"He is one of England's best coaches!" Bruce said to Dunn while driving, his tone was very positive. "But in the list of the best coaches in the UK, he can only be ranked eighth! Ramsey ranked above him only because he led England to a World Cup championship. But in the eyes of Nottingham people, he is the most A good coach, even better than Paisley! What a pity...because of alcoholism, he retired prematurely."

Bruce sighed.

"Tony, you have to drink less..."

"Um..." Dunn looked out the window and answered absently. The radio has turned into a big discussion about who is Brian Clough’s successor. Many listeners said that Mourinho, a Portuguese, was obviously influenced by the media, and some people thought that Tony Dunn was talented. Yes.

But Dunn himself wasn't interested in this kind of dispute, so he didn't want to be someone's heir or second life. If Mourinho wants, let him do it, I will be Dunn I!

"Brian Clough, who has just passed away, said in an interview with us for the last time before his death that Chelsea coach Mourinho is the most like him. But let’s not forget that before Mourinho came to England , Who is the coach we talk about most about like Clough? Tony Dunn! For tomorrow's game at Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea, the two Clough successors will compete. Let's listen to Coach Tony Dunn What do you think of it."

The gate of the city stadium appeared in the TV picture. The deserted area was surrounded by flowers and candles, and the iron gate railing was covered with red forest team scarves. Many fans mourned silently in the square in front of the gate. They came to offer a bunch of flowers and then hung up their scarves that they had worn for years.

This is the scene in front of the city stadium in the afternoon. Then Dunn appeared in the TV camera, wearing a black suit and sunglasses, apparently just returning from the funeral in Middlesbrough.

"...I think it is inappropriate to discuss who is the successor of the boss at this time. But I know that your media likes to do such untimely things, so I am used to it. You ask me how I think about this problem. I think it’s pretty good. Mourinho is Clough’s successor. There is no doubt that I think so too." Dunn in the picture did not forget to satirize the reporter he couldn’t understand at this time. I respect the boss very much, and because of this, I don’t want others to say that I am his heir or something. And I firmly believe that the boss would not want me to be the second him. Of course, if Mourinho is happy If you call this, then you might as well call him'Clauf II' instead of'Mourinho' in the future?"

Dunn's words are not friendly to Mourinho.
