Godfather Of Champions

After the team ended the league with Bolton, they only stayed in the UK for one day before flying to Spain collectively.

On August 25th, at the home court of Villarreal, the Forest team will challenge their Champions League qualifiers. This is a crucial game. Even if the Forest team defeated Villarreal 2-0 at home in the first round, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen in this game.

Dunn can think that this game will be difficult, so he reminded his players more than once that it is more difficult to think about the game, don't think that 2:0 can sit back and relax.

In the tactical arrangement and lineup arrangement, Dunn showed this kind of caution. The strongest lineup, defensive counterattack.

Anelka is still starting, and his speed in this game is Dunn's most important weapon.

There is Anelka in the middle, Frank Ribery on the left and Ashley Young on the right. This is the trident in the forest team's counterattack. Dunn had only one requirement for them-to send the football into the opponent's penalty area as quickly as possible.

Although Riquelme’s performance in this game was much better than in the first round, although Pellegrini did not make another vacillating error, although Villarreal’s overall performance was very good, they scored in the game. Two **** were taken.

But in the second half, the Forest team held their fate firmly in their own hands.

Anelka's shot was blocked after a beautiful breakthrough, Villarreal's goalkeeper put the ball out of his hand, Arteta followed up with a supplementary shot, and the ball was caught in the net!

This goal happened four minutes before the end of the game. The Spaniard was looking forward to playing overtime. Unexpectedly, Arteta, who is also Spaniard, sent his compatriot out of the Champions League match.

An away goal and a 3:2 score meant that Villarreal wanted to drag the game into overtime and had to score two goals in the remaining four minutes!

But this is an impossible task for the yellow submarine whose morale has been hit hard.

The fourth official held up the stoppage time sign on the sidelines for three minutes. But starting from one and a half minutes, the forest team's bench players gathered on the sidelines, waiting for the referee to blow his whistle, and rushed into the court to celebrate. Now every Nottingham Forester thinks that three minutes of stoppage time is too long, every second seems to live as long as the year, and there is a fear of life in this last moment. Doesn’t it mean that football is round? Can anything happen?

at last……

"The whole game is over! Twenty-four years later, Nottingham Forest has returned to the European Champions Cup!"

Of course, in fact, it can no longer be called the "Champions Cup", now it must be called the "Champions League".

All members of the ecstatic forest team did not stay on the court for too long. After all, it was not good to be too public on other people's turf. Their celebration was moved to the locker room.

Club chairman Evan Daugherty and marketing manager Alan Adams also went to the scene to watch the game. After the game, they all went to the dressing room to congratulate the team on their achievements.

Of course, the finale in the locker room is the head coach. Dunn waved his hand to calm everyone down, and then announced loudly: "You have done a good job, now... let's go to the Champions League for a big fight!"

The team returned to the United Kingdom with glory and met them at Heathrow Airport in London, in addition to the **** Forest fans who sang songs, as well as many media.

Because before the Forest team expedition to Spain, there was good news in Liverpool.

As the defending champion of the Champions League, the "Red Army" Liverpool, which was played by UEFA outside the first round of the qualification round, passed all the way and finally defeated Bulgaria's CSKA Sofia with a total score of 3:2 in the third round. Advance to the main match of the UEFA Champions League.

So after the Forest team eliminated the Spanish team Villarreal, they set a record-as many as five English teams appeared in the Champions League this season!

Although this is a special situation due to special reasons, because the champion of the UEFA Champions League is unable to participate in the new season of the Champions League because of the league rankings. This is regarded as a mockery of the UEFA Champions League-the defending champion cannot To participate in the Champions League next season, this is the first time in the 50-year history of the Champions League. Because the previous Champions Cup was a cup that only the champions of various leagues could participate in, and the champions of the previous Champions Cup were automatically shortlisted. This is why Nottingham Forest can participate in the Champions Cup and successfully defend it even though it has not won the league title. I participated in the previous championship automatically.

Later, after the Champions League was restructured and turned into the Champions League, the number of teams that can participate in the Champions League increased, and the setting of automatic entry for the defending champion was cancelled.

Liverpool’s situation is special. At that time, UEFA discussed it for a long time and even involved whether to sacrifice Nottingham Forest in exchange for Liverpool's qualification to participate in the Champions League. If this resolution is passed, then the Forest team will be out of luck. Fortunately, this seemingly absurd decision was rejected. UEFA has allowed Liverpool to participate in the Champions League in the new season, but it must start from the first round of the qualifying round. And said that this is a special case and will not recur in the future.

But what happens in the future, who cares?

Liverpool people have benefited, and English people have also benefited. From the moment the news was announced, the English people were looking forward to this day: five English teams gathered in Europe's highest level club league-the Champions League.

Now that this day has finally arrived, it can be regarded as a major victory for English football. It is only natural that the returning forest team has received such attention from the media.

"It would be better if they could bring flowers..." Dunn said nonchalantly watching this scene. What does the victory of English football have to do with him? He only cares about his team.

"No matter what you think, you have to go down for an interview." While waiting to get off the plane, Chris Lak said with a smile.

"Once again, I think Anelka's two brothers are too smart. I should set myself a price of £100,000 for an interview so I don't have to deal with this kind of scene."

"Then you are not as good as a word of 100,000 pounds." George Wood walked past Dunn and said suddenly, and the laughter of other players suddenly sounded around.

"Hey!" Dunn rolled up his sleeves, laughing louder.

Then in the laughter, Wood walked past Dunn and left a sentence: "My mother invites you to dinner tonight."

Dunn was stunned.
