Godfather Of Champions

Perhaps because of that joyous Christmas dinner, George Wood was in surprisingly good condition. The voice that questioned him a few weeks ago hadn't completely disappeared, but he used steady performance to slap those doubters again and again.

On the second day of the game, the Forest team defeated Southampton 2-1 at home. Although their goal continued to be conceded, they eventually won.

On December 28th, the Forest team challenged Manchester City away. In this game, Dunn's intention to rectify the defense was very clear. At the Maine Road Stadium, he arranged a defensive counterattack strategy. Finally, under Manchester City's onslaught, the counterattack did not come out, but the defense was fully tested. In this game, the starting midfielder George Wood, who partnered with Gunnarsen, once again received unanimous praise after the game. In the case of Manchester City suppressing the forest team's half-time bombing, it was his outstanding performance and help several times. Darren Ward, who was obviously powerless, resolved the danger in front of the goal and allowed the Forest to take a point away.

Kevin Keegan said angrily to reporters at the press conference after the game: "It's really unfair. We are eleven in the game, and Nottingham Forest is twelve!"

Of course he is not saying that the Forest team only got a point with the help of the referee. In fact, the referee in this game is biased towards the home team Manchester City. This is also normal-there will be no referees biased towards the away team, right?

The twelfth person Keegan speaks of is George Wood. Exactly half of the season passed. Twenty rounds of the league played, six UEFA Cup games, and League Cup games. George Wood did not miss any game, any minute. His physical strength was not affected by full attendance at all, and he ran from the first second to the last second in the game against Manchester City, with the same rate throughout.

He is very good at using his body to make up for his lack of skills and experience.

No wonder Keegan feels depressed. His remarks are similar to the previous evaluation of Brazilian right-back Cafu as a "man with three lungs" in football.

Since not only successfully defending Cristiano Ronaldo in the game against Manchester United, but also scoring an equalizer goal at the end of the game, George Wood has a vague tendency to become the hottest rookie in the Premier League. .

Recently, there have been more topics about Wood. Of course, unlike before, it used to be suspicious, but now it is flattering.

But Dunn was not worried that such unrestrained pedantry would make Wood lose his peace of mind and ruin this kid's future. Because he knew who Wood was, he didn't care about these compliments at all, and he still didn't realize what advantage this kind of fame would bring him.

On the day after the game, at an internal Christmas reception held by the Nottingham Forest Club, various awards were awarded to the forest team for outstanding performance in all aspects in the past year. The method of selection is to put forward candidates through internal voting of the team, and then everyone will vote by secret ballot. In other words, if someone can be elected the best, then he must be recognized by everyone.

Freddie Eastwood has won the team's player of the year with his outstanding and stable performance and repeated goals at critical moments since joining the team.

The trophy for the team's rookie of the year was also unsuspecting and was picked by George Wood.

By convention, everyone who wins the prize must take the stage and give a speech. Eastwood himself was clever, and this kind of impromptu speech seemed to him as a pediatrician. It made everyone laugh easily, and the atmosphere entered a climax.

George Wood has never stood on a stage like this, speaking to so many people. Dunn didn't know whether to deal with such a scene or let him fight Roy Keane again, which would make Wood more difficult.

When he read "The winner of the newcomer of the year is George Wood", there was enthusiastic applause and some people whistled in excitement.

Sitting next to his mother, Wood was a little surprised at the result announced by Dunn. He turned his head and looked at the teammates around him cheering and whistling for him, as if he couldn't believe his popularity would be so good.

Dunn stood on the stage and shook Wood with a transparent trophy in his hand: "George, if you don't come up to accept the award again, I will take this back to my home!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Amidst the laughter, Sophia tidied the collar of the suit for her son, and said to Wood proudly and affectionately: "Go, George. It is impolite to make people wait."

Wood got up and walked onto the stage. He took the trophy from Dunn's collection and held it in his hand. The coolness came from the cup, making him calm down.

"Say something, George." Dunn handed a microphone to Wood.

Wood held the microphone in his hand and bit his lips while looking at the expectant eyes below.

Say something?

When he was still working as a porter, even though the men around him were football fans, in his spare time they would lively discuss yesterday's football game. Most of them were supporters of Nottingham Forest. At that time, he never thought that he would become a Nottingham Forest player and become the center of their discussions outside of work. He felt that the world was too far away from him, until one day he "ran into" someone on the street and everything changed.

"I..." After a long pause, Wood finally spoke. "I've never...never thought or thought about becoming a professional player before."

Is it really a tirade? Dunn was delighted.

"I won't say anything..."

The hall was quiet, everyone was holding their breath, they knew that Wood wouldn't say anything, because it is rare to hear this person say much in one breath. It is rare in a lifetime to let him stand in front of everyone and speak like this.

"I don't know what to say... It's harder than letting me score goals with Manchester United..." Wood said seriously, but the audience laughed like a ball, even Tang standing behind him. Endu laughed.

"So I can only thank everyone..." He bowed slightly to the audience, and then went on.

Applause also rang.

Although he still said too little, Dunn did not ask him to say a few more words. For a boy who rarely communicates with others, this is already a great improvement. Growth is a long process, you can't ask for more.

When Wood returned to his seat, he got a kiss of encouragement from his mother, and he looked a little embarrassed.

The next award is the Youth Team Player of the Year award. The winner was Gareth Bale, who Dunn brought from Southampton. Although he was only fifteen years old, he had long been transferred to the 18-year-old youth team. Now Dunn is waiting for him to reach the age of sixteen, and then sign a professional contract with him to firmly tie his future here.

After the award of the main event, the atmosphere is very relaxed, and there are all kinds of inexplicable awards. Dunn is a master at adjusting the atmosphere, whether in the locker room, on the side of the football field, or here. He can always make everyone laugh.

After playing for half a season in a row, at this time, whether it is the coaches or the players, everyone can finally put aside the **** opponents, the **** standings, the **** season goals... Take it easy.

After the awards ceremony, there was a cocktail party. Dunn became the busiest person. Shania, who he was pulling to play, looked for someone to sign with her wine glass...

If you don't tell them Shania's true age, I'm afraid no one would think she is a child, right?

Everyone nodded and smiled to sign Shania, while gossiping in their hearts: Oh-she was the girl who went out for dinner with the boss that night!

Of course, Dunn knew what these boys were thinking, but he pretended not to see it, and led Shania to say hello, introduce, and sign. Turning from here to there, and back again, my head is almost dizzy.

When he led Shania to Evan and Allen, he didn't pay attention. "They are..." The words just started and found something was wrong. He looked up and saw the club chairman and marketing manager who were smiling at him. .

"Tony, do we have to sign too?" they laughed.

"Uh..." Dunn scratched his head embarrassedly, and introduced Shania to the two of them. "Judy Shania Jordana."

Evan nodded: "I know you, Miss Jordana. I saw you at a fashion show last week."

Shania's eyes widened, a little surprised, let alone Dunn. But Shania was surprised that the club chairman in front of her would know the small brand press conference that had little influence, and Dunn was surprised that she had already started the catwalk at such a young age?

"Yeah." Evan looked at Shania, who is now very casually dressed. "You on the catwalk are completely different from you now. I didn't recognize it just now. I heard Tony. I just remembered introducing your name."

Shania straightened her face, raised her head slightly, and squinted at Dunn, who was beside her, and said to Evan Daggerty, "Is that right?"

Evan smiled: "Yes, that's how it feels."

Shania's expression returned to normal again, she stuck out her tongue, "I don't like this, but the model..."

Evan and Allen both nodded their heads to express understanding, and Dunn was attracted by the cold side that Shania suddenly showed. He had never seen Shania like this before, and she would have a sense of coldness that would be a thousand miles away. Is this the model Shania...

It's no wonder that Shania doesn't like to be a model. She should be the kind of little girl who is naturally happy and lively. It is really...not very humane to make her face scared at this age.

I don't like Shania like this either. Dunn thought in his heart.
