Godfather Of Champions

Albertini's injury suddenly made the team's atmosphere a little serious. The downfall of key figures at critical moments is a great blow to the team's morale.

Whether Dunn wants it or not, he must now accept the reality that the team will start the new season in the absence of the captain.

He made some adjustments and put Arteta at the core of the midfield in training. Obviously this is to let the Spaniard replace Albertini.

At the same time, the Forest team's offensive tactics will also need to be further adjusted due to Arteta's starting lineup. After all, Albertini and Arteta have different ways of organizing offenses, and these need to be familiar to the team. Fortunately, in the final stage of last season, Arteta played a lot of games, the team is no stranger to this more delicate offensive method.

The only problem is that the cooperation between George Wood and Arteta is not enough, and the running-in in less than half a season is far from enough. Many times, Wood is still following the ideas and routines he had when partnering with Albertini. The most obvious example is that Arteta is closer to the opponent's penalty area than Albertini. In this way, the distance between Wood and the Spaniard is invisibly widened, and it is easy to be cut off by the opponent. Once the defensive midfielder fails to provide adequate protection to the offensive midfielder, the Forest team's offense will not be organized, and it will be easily disrupted by opponents to destroy its rhythm, and then completely lose control of the midfield and lose control of the midfield. It is tantamount to losing the game.

Dunn saw such a situation in the training ground, and had to shake his head in his heart. Albertini's influence on George Wood...not obvious, it was so deep.

It was a good thing to put this in the past, but in this situation... Don's headache again.

If there is any good news during this period, it is that Anelka, who has joined the team, performed fairly honestly and did not add fuel to Dunn's fire.

On a new team, facing brand-new teammates and head coaches, it is not clear that the head coach has a temper. Naturally, they will restrain themselves slightly. Dunn did not relax his vigilance against Anelka because of this. He firmly believed in one sentence:

Jiangshan is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to move.

He didn't think that Anelka would suddenly become an optimistic, cheerful and likable great guy just because he came to Nottingham Forest. Even if he seemed to be so on the surface, it was just because he was trying to suppress his inner nature.

Anelka is not the player he advocates to introduce, unlike Bendtner and Eastwood, he is not enthusiastic about this person. Although he said to Chris Lak "treat like any ordinary first-team player", in fact, he still wears some tinted glasses-he can't not wear it, he can't do it.

If you have performed well, I can give you a chance, just like giving any player a chance to perform well. But if you have a problem, I will give others a chance.

But if Eastwood had a problem, Dunn would help Eastwood get back his condition even if he pushed with his shoulders.

This is the difference.

On August 10th, the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifier, the first round of the match, will be held in the City Stadium, home of the Forest team, two days later.

This is the first step for Nottingham Forest to return to the UEFA Champions League after twenty-four years. It was originally an ordinary or even a low-level qualifier, but because it had this new meaning, it immediately became a popular game. Tickets for the game were completely sold out a week ago. All Nottinghamians were very interested in this game. Until two days before the game, many people held the "I need a ticket" sign outside the square outside the city stadium, hoping to meet someone to refund the ticket. But they are all disappointed without exception. Not to mention refunds, even the scalpers have disappeared-they were sold long ago, and now even if the scalpers want to make more money, they have no votes.

Now those players who live in Nottingham will start to worry, because their relatives and friends who have not bought tickets come to their door, hoping to get those tickets allocated to players and club staff, but not many. Only three or four per person.

As a result, the tickets of players who were not home in Nottingham or even abroad were raided by local players.

Of course, there are exceptions. George Wood is a local player, but all the votes in his hand are given to Wes Morgan. Except for a mother, he has no relatives or friends asking him for a ticket. He doesn't even know whether relatives and friends are good or bad for him...

Dunn has six tickets in his hand, which is the prerogative of the head coach. But no player dared to search for his tickets, which is also the privilege of the coach.

Dunn really couldn't think of who else these tickets could be given. Shania hadn't come back in Brazil, and Sophia didn't need him to be courteous. Wood would keep it for his mother.

With six tickets in hand, there is nowhere to go.

The group of people in the forest bar are all loyal fans of the forest team, how could they still not have tickets for this game? Kenny Barnes wants to guard his own bar. He hasn't been to the stadium for a long time. No matter how meaningful this game is, he will not go.

But when it came to the forest bar, Dunn thought of someone.

He ran to find Fat John and asked for Michael's contact address in the United States.

"What are you going to do? Send him a ticket? But he won't come, and he is in the United States. When you post it, the game will be over..." John puzzled.

"Of course I didn't let him watch the football." Dunn said to John while writing the address on the airmail envelope. "I just told him that guy who vowed not to love football anymore. I not only brought the Forest team back to the top league in England. , I also brought the Forest team back to the top European league! I don’t care if he doesn’t care about it, I don’t care if he remembers it, but I promised him, and now I have done it." Dunn looked up at John. At the same time put the ticket into the envelope.

John was silent.

Dunn sent away one ticket, and there were five left. He took them all to Gavin Bernard’s grave, lit them with a lighter, and "sent" them to Gavin, a permanent fan of the Forest team, in a Chinese way. .

"Five may be a bit too much, but...I don't have anyone to send. If you have more, you can keep it as a souvenir."
