Godfather Of Champions

Due to the conflict between the second round of the Champions League qualifier against Villarreal and the third round of the Premier League, the third round of Nottingham Forest was moved to December 14 and the Forest team is now in two matches. The win scored six points and ranked in the first group.

Due to the qualifying rights in the Champions League, the forest team now seems to vaguely have the feeling of a strong team.

Just when everyone thought so, on August 27, two days later, the Forest team lost to Fulham 0:1 away.

This result exceeded everyone's expectations. After the game, the media used "unpopular" to describe the game. Before the game, no one thought that the Forest team would lose. The odds offered by the bookmakers were all optimistic about the Forest team. Unexpectedly, the Forest team lost to Fulham in the middle and lower rankings.

To say that this result was unexpected is not just the difference between the two teams in terms of strength. Judging from the scene, no one expected that the forest team, which had the upper hand, would lose after ninety minutes.

The players of the Forest team are very active and very hardworking, but Fulham's barrel line is very successful. After the Forest team did not score in 75 minutes, the players will inevitably become impatient.

Dunn knew what was going on.

This group of boys won the qualifications of the Champions Cup and they were a little too excited. Fighting **** the court, but it's useless. It's not surprising that they kept running halfway, stealing, and then passing the ball, then stealing, and then passing the ball...It's not surprising that the game finally lost.

Dunn didn't lose his temper with this defeat, he thought the result was quite good. Sometimes it is necessary to lose a game, and it is better to lose at this time than to lose at a critical moment. He doesn't want his team to be unbeaten for thirty-eight consecutive rounds, then win the championship, and the second season will plummet. He doesn't care about such things as records, there is nothing more important to him than results. If losing is conducive to a better win, he is happy to lose.

This is the situation now. If the team is allowed to win consecutively, he can't say whether there will be some bad ideas within the team, but it will definitely produce some influence that is not conducive to the team's progress. Although not intentional, it was just right to lose to a weak team in the fourth round of the league-it can make the hot-haired boys realize the reality and calm down. In order not to suffer a harder blow later.

So Dunn said at the press conference after the game: "I don't think it's a bad thing to lose occasionally."

Some people would think that he is a dead duck with a hard mouth, but whether it is hard or not, Dunn will let them know in the future.

※※※

Dunn did not follow the team back to Nottingham, but directly flew to Zurich, Switzerland with club chairman Evan Daggerty in London to participate in the new season's Champions League group stage draw at UEFA headquarters.

He also participated in the UEFA Cup draw, but that is not at the same level as the Champions League draw. This can be regarded as a gathering of the strongest coaches in Europe, and a gathering with a strong smell of gunpowder...

The lottery ceremony has not yet begun, and those coaches who have rushed to the lottery location ahead of time will get together to chat. Dunn is still a newcomer to European football. There is no coach he knows. Although he came early, no one chatted with him. So he and Evan sat quietly as spectators.

Capello is far from being as serious as he is on the side of the coaching bench. At this moment, he is smiling and chatting with others, and his eyes are quite elegant.

Rijkaard is proud of the spring breeze in the last two seasons, his team has soared in European football, and in the coaching circle, his popularity is also rising by a long way. There were a lot of people talking with him at this time, and Dunn roughly counted them, and there were always five people around him.

Ferguson has a lofty status in England, and in European football, as the founder of the Manchester United era, his reputation in the coaching circle is not low. Of course, within five meters of where he is, you will never find the Frenchman Arthur Wenger.

The Arsenal coach has not arrived yet.

"I thought you would go up and find a topic to cut in." Evan said, pointing to the coaches who got together in groups.

Dunn snorted: "I have no interest." His team is one of the thirty-two participating teams. He is here to participate in the drawing ceremony, not for the tea party.

Evan laughed: "But I'm really happy, my team can appear on this occasion, it was just a plan two years ago."

"In two years, it's time for these people to take the initiative to talk to us." Dunn pointed to the people in the hall.

It's not that Dunn seemed out of place. The media outside the door suddenly rioted, flashing flashes, and some onlookers screamed and female voices.

There are not many scenes of such fanaticism in the gathering of coaches. Most of the supporters are calmer, just signing autographs or taking pictures together. Screaming loudly like this is never before. Because most coaches have nothing to make women scream...

This is the treatment of superstar players when they play.

Some of the coaches who were talking next to each other were attracted by the events at the door, and even Evan got up and looked at it. Dunn sighed below: "Don't look, it must be our opponent, Chelsea coach Mourinho, who played so well."

He didn't squint, everything that happened at the door had nothing to do with him.

Evan sat down: "It's funny, a head coach is more popular than a player, and the popularity is higher."

The person who walked in was indeed Mourinho in casual clothes. He didn't say anything about the formation of welcoming him just now, and walked in blankly. Slightly scanned the hall at the door, and didn't mind those who were looking at him, and went straight to find an empty seat to sit down.

but……

It's a coincidence that the empty seat he found is next to Dun En's position. Mourinho was stunned when he discovered this when he walked over.

At such a close distance, it is too difficult for both parties to ignore each other...

Mourinho smiled: "Mr. Dunn, I met so soon."

"Hello, Mr. Mourinho." Dunn also had to stand up and say hello.

"Oh, forgot to congratulate you on breaking into the Champions League match." Mourinho stretched out his hand.

"Thank you." Dunn also stretched out his hand, and the two handed together and soon separated.

"Mr. Dunn, I was suddenly very interested. You said... will we meet in the Champions League?" I thought that after the greeting, the two would sit down and there would be nothing more, but Mourinho asked again. Such a sentence.

"You mean the group draws?" Dunn deliberately pretended to be confused.

"No, this may be too low. The chances of a team in the same national league meeting a group are too small."

"Then I don't think we will have a chance to meet."

Mourinho shrugged: "It's a pity. That must be interesting." Then he pulled off his chair and sat down.

The conversation between the two men began inexplicably and ended inexplicably.

Dunn looked at Mourinho, who was sitting next to him and doing nothing, and no one took the initiative to talk to this young coach who has been in the limelight in the past two years.

He remembered some of the comments and reports about Mourinho he had read before, which may have been biased, but the popularity of this Portuguese does not seem to be very good...

He had just arrived in England for his first season, and he almost offended all the coaches in the English football circle. Maybe some people are jealous of Mourinho’s current achievements and don’t want to come into contact with them... But whatever the reason, Mourinho and the current Dunn have something in common. They are surrounded by a lively crowd. All around them are deserted.

Arsenal coach Arthur Wenger and AC Milan coach Ancelotti came with a pinch. The two walked into the hall one after the other. Wenger saw Dunn and came up to say hello happily, but turned a blind eye to Mourinho beside Dunn. The conflicts between these two people are profound, and they are not just rumors...

After the two of them came, the lottery ceremony was about to begin. UEFA informed the coaches to enter the stadium. After they took their seats, the media lined up at the back of the lottery ceremony hall with guns and guns on the rack. , Began to pay attention to the new season's Champions League group stage draw.

At the same time, all over the world, supporters of these teams are also looking forward to the result of the draw. Because this is likely to be related to the fate of the team they support for a season.

Dunn did not do such a thing when he was a fan, because he did not have a fixed support team. But there are a lot of people like this around him, following his favorite team.

Because it was just the drawing ceremony of the Champions League, there was no messy cultural performances. After introducing the 32 participating teams, we entered the most critical step-drawing lots.

Dunn can't remember exactly what his previous UEFA Champions League grouping was in the 2005-06 season. Anyway, he believed that he would definitely not be exactly the same as he remembered. Villarreal has been replaced by Nottingham Forest. It would be a **** if it were the same.
