Godfather Of Champions

Regardless of the outcome of the Nottingham Forest complaint, the red card still affected Anelka's mood.

On the day of the end of the game, Anelka looked gloomy as a ghost in the locker room, and it made people feel cold near him.

In fact, Anelka is usually "cold", but because of such a thing, he is still so cold, something is wrong.

Dunn thought for a while, and decided not to talk to the French for the time being. At this time, his mood must not be much better.

Some things, let's talk about it later.

After the English League Committee and the Referee Committee received the Forest team's complaint, the answer to the Forest team was-it needs to be studied before making a decision, but when the research came out did not say.

Dunn listened to yelling in the office: "Damn bureaucracy! Even if the results of the bastards' research is that Anelka is innocent, he will miss the game against Arsenal!"

The anger turned to anger, and Dunn had nothing to do. He can never go to the office of the league committee and make a fuss?

We can only seize the last time in training to practice new styles.

Freddy Eastwood's recovery is not very optimistic, and Downing is willing to let him continue to recuperate instead of forcing him to return to the team.

Now Anelka can’t play either. The only forwards available for the Forest are Mark Viduka and Niklas Bendtner.

Dunn didn't plan to put two centers on the field at the same time. He decided to play a defensive counterattack in Arsenal's away game. He took a point from Highbury and was very satisfied.

※※※

This is a high-profile game, Nottingham Forest challenged Arsenal away.

But such a heavyweight game did not meet people's expectations before the game, because the game has nothing to do with "exciting".

Anelka did not enter the forest team's squad. Dunn had a 541 formation in this game. Mark Viduka came forward alone, and the three center defenders Matthew Epson and Pepe advanced. , Pikui delayed protection.

Seeing such a lineup, a smarter person guessed that Dunn was going to defend away.

That's right, it's not just defense, it's defense.

The Forest team put three central defenders in the middle, blocking the front of their penalty area tightly. The forest team's offense is to drive forward with only two or three people. If a threat can be formed, it is okay. It can't be a threat, and it won't be countered by Arsenal because of the team's heavy pressure.

Henry's speed made Dunn very jealous.

Wenger's team tried every means to find the weakness of the Forest team's defense, and the Forest team tried every means to disrupt Arsenal's offense.

Dunn's heart is suffering every second, and every attack by Arsenal makes him restless. Once the ball is lost, it means that all efforts are wiped out.

George Wood is responsible for marking Fabregas, and the two sides are entangled in the midfield, winning each other. Seeing such a scene, Martin Taylor exclaimed: "This is the age of young people..." He looked at Tony Dunn who was pacing back and forth on the sidelines.

Fabregas is eighteen, George Wood is nineteen, and Tony Dunn is thirty-seven. They are gradually becoming the main force in this league. No matter what Tony Dunn may achieve in the future, he has led the team to the UEFA Champions League at the age of thirty-seven. He has attracted the attention of UEFA, and his Nottingham Forest has frequently appeared in the European media.

Generally speaking, forty-year-old coaches are called "young marshals", such as Mourinho, Deschamps, Ancelotti, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Gullit ……Wait, but he took over the Forest team at the age of thirty-four, brought the Forest team to the Premier League at the age of thirty-five, and led the Forest team to the UEFA Champions League at the age of thirty-six. Tony Dunn, who took over almost every step of the year What is it?

England has not seen such an excellent coach for many years. Almost all successful coaches active in English football are non-English. For example, Manchester United coach Ferguson is a Scot, Arsenal coach Wenger is a Frenchman, and Liverpool The head coach Benitez is a Spaniard, and the Chelsea coach Mourinho is a Portuguese... There is no England coach in the top four, which makes the arrogant English very shameless.

The birth of Dunn satisfies the "patriotism enthusiasm" of the English, and the hype by the media has pushed Dunn to the public. On the surface, Dunn is disgusted with the media's hype about him, but in fact, did he use the media? Who knows...

Dunn watched the game nervously from the sidelines, and didn't know what Martin Taylor thought of him. Even if he knew, maybe he didn't care.

At the end of the first half, the Forest team was very embarrassed, but the score made Dunn feel a little relieved-his team and Arsenal are still 0:0 so far.

During the intermission, Dunn didn't make any tactical adjustments, but instilled confidence in the team, telling them not to give up no matter how unfavorable the situation they face, a tie in this game is a victory.

In the second half, the Forest team implemented the tactics of defending more thoroughly. As the game time passed, the Arsenal players gradually became impatient.

In the seventy-ninth minute, Arsenal scored a goal, but when they were celebrating, the linesman relentlessly raised the flag in his hand-offside!

This is indeed an offside kick, although it is not obvious, Henry started a little earlier and was spotted by the side referee.

Wenger looked a little angry on the sidelines, perhaps he thought he was framed by the referee. Dunn applauded the referee from the sidelines, and the referee who served as the law enforcement of the game was Boll who was the fourth official for the forest team against Everton in the previous league round.

"There are four minutes left in the game to enter injury time. This game is another typical'Arsenal phenomenon'." Martin Taylor shook his head. He has no hope of a goal.

The so-called "Arsenal phenomenon" refers to prolonged possession of the ball and multiple shots without scoring. Arsenal's style of ball handling makes them often dominate the scene, play beautifully, and are pleasing to the eye. It's a pity that this habit of keeping football under their feet has made them miss the chance of scoring many times. There are opportunities where they can clearly kick the door and they will often miss out in vain because they want to play a beautiful match.

Dunn is to seize the habit of Arsenal and place heavy troops in the backcourt, so that Arsenal who likes to control the ball seem to face a stone with nowhere to make their mouths. They keep holding the ball outside, but they can't find a few. Chance to score a kick.

In this game, he completely gave up the offense. Up to now, the Forest team only had six shots. In exchange, he successfully brought the 0:0 score into injury time.

Dunn was fortunate that he was not coaching in Real Madrid, Spain. Otherwise, no matter how good the team's performance is, there will only be one destiny in the end-dismissal of get out of class.

In fact, this is not what Dunn wanted. If Anelka can participate, he doesn't mind having a battle against Arsenal in Highbury.

"The game is over, a dull game... Nottingham Forest drew Arsenal away! Coach Tony Dunn scored a point that satisfied him, but the fans who came to watch the game probably won't feel like this kind of game. satisfied."

"I'm very dissatisfied!" Andy Gray next to him covered his mouth and yawned. "I don't understand, the Forest team's style is not conservative, why sometimes the game is so ugly..."

"Because Dunn's style is to pursue results." Martin Taylor replied, "If conservative can bring him the results he hopes to achieve, he will definitely not mind playing the most conservative football."

Andy Gray rolled his eyes and turned off the microphone. "This is the only thing I hate him... Sometimes he is too utilitarian."

Martin Taylor also took off his headphones and finished his work. "The world football environment is like this. That's why teams like Arsenal and Barcelona are particularly popular because they are not utilitarian."

"If Dunn's team can play as beautiful as Arsenal, it will be perfect..."

"You are too demanding, Andy." Martin Taylor laughed. He stood up from the broadcast stand and saw Dunn hugging and celebrating with the players on the sidelines. Seeing his joy, he seemed to have won the game. same.

"With a team like Arsenal, you should be satisfied. The shortcut to success is victory and results..."

After the end of the game against Arsenal, the Forest did not return to Nottingham, but flew directly from London to France to participate in the second match of the Champions League group stage on September 28. The Forest challenged Lille away. .

In France, the tired Forest team finally shook hands with Lille and the two sides played 0:0.

If Dunn was happy to see the draw with Arsenal in the last league match, then the draw of this game is the result Dunn does not want to see. He originally hoped that the team would beat Lille on the road to win the first Champions League victory for the team. But the forest team that has been fighting continuously is too tired, and is completely powerless in the away game.

Starting from the first match of the Champions Cup group match on September 15, the Forest team played five matches in 13 days. This schedule is indeed too dense. Unwilling to be unwilling, Dunn has nothing to do with this reason.

The only good news is that Real Madrid was tied by Benfica in Portugal, and the points of the four teams in Group D were not pulled away.

After the two group matches, Real Madrid ranked first in the group with four points, Benfica and Lille both scored two points closely behind, and Nottingham Forest scored only one point and ranked last. It seems that it is in line with UEFA. They are divided into "fourth grade".

The performance of Nottingham Forest met most people's expectations. The Forest team, which returned to the Champions League after 24 years, did not show convincing strength, and it is reasonable to rank first. However, the strong team Real Madrid did not show strong strength. They did not win Benfica on the away game. Even playing the Forest team also won very thrilling.

The qualifying situation of this group is not as simple as people previously imagined.

But no matter how people analyze it, I am afraid that few people would think that with the performance of the first two group games, Tony Dunn's Nottingham Forest team can finally qualify from this group. However, when these people made similar analysis, they all ignored a problem-the Forest team has been using the disabled to compete with their opponents. Albertini was absent due to injury, and George Wood was also suspended. The importance is not clear in one or two sentences.

Returning to England from Lille, the league committee’s research decision came out. Stephen Johnson’s penalty was a misjudgment, and Anelka’s red card was cancelled and the two matches suspended. At the same time, because of this serious misjudgment in law enforcement, Johnson was suspended from the law enforcement of the Premier League.

This relief was good news for Nottingham Forest and Anelka, but Dunn did not appreciate it.

When he got the final result, he shook off the paper in front of the reporter, expressing his dissatisfaction in a disdainful tone: "Okay, everyone. Now it turns out that we have been wronged. But what's the matter? Use? In the most critical game we lost an important forward. Who will compensate for this loss? I understand that there is something they need to study in five days. Who knows what they are studying?"

A day later, Tony Dunn was fined 15,000 pounds by the English Football Association for expressing an "untimely" view of the work of the referee committee.

But Dunn didn't care, he was used to it. For him, spending a little money can freely express his thoughts, and this deal is a good deal for him.

In the following league, the Forest team, who had regained Anelka, swept Manchester City at home 2:0. In this game, Dunn used a rotation system and most of the main players were replaced. This made Stuart Pierce thought it was a good opportunity for Manchester City to score away. He did not expect that the strength of the Forest team after the rotation was not affected, but it was even better.

Chinese player Sun Jihai started in this game against his old team and played the entire game, showing quite satisfactory performance. Of course, in the Chinese media, it has become "eye-catching performance."

Gareth Bale also got his first chance to play for the first team in the Forest. His debut was quite successful and he had an assist. In this game, Dunn initially arranged for him to play the left back. Bale's performance was a bit shy. He was pushed to the midfield in the second half and changed to the left midfielder. The performance was immediately different.

Even Mortes, the commentator of this game, is very optimistic about Bale's future: "At only sixteen, he represented the club's first team in the Premier League. For Gareth Bale, this is his happy day. For Gareth Bale. For the fans of the Forest team, it is also a happy day, because after George Wood, their team has gained a genius from the youth academy! Check out his series of performances before assisting Viduka ——Calmness, boldness! Impressive!"

In addition to winning again and reaping an outstanding Gareth Bale, Dunn has good news.

On the second day of the match with Manchester City, Albertini appeared on the side of the training court wearing a training suit. All the players gathered around Albertini and welcomed their captain to return to the team after being absent for more than a month due to injury.

Dunn smiled brilliantly, standing in front of Albertini, joking loudly: "Look who is this? Demi, your legs must be rusty?"

"You are right, Boss. So I am more active." Albertini kicked.

"Welcome back!" Dunn gave Albertini a strong hug.

The team's current record in the Champions League is not satisfactory. The return of veteran Albertini at this time brings not only one more midfielder, but more experience. As the saying goes: There is an old person in a family, like a treasure. Albertini is the pinnacle of the team...

That's why Dunn's mood is surprisingly good. He believes that with Albertini's return, the team's performance in the Champions League will definitely change.

Oh, right. Wood also returned, and he ended his suspension. The next game against Benfica in Nottingham Forest will be his comeback time.

It's a double happiness.

Those who look down on us, you will soon discover how outrageous you are!
