Godfather Of Champions

Albertini's comeback is not only as simple as one more person on the team, but more importantly, it boosted the team's morale.

The following October 15th, the Forest team challenged Tottenham Hotspur away. After a fierce battle, the Forest team defeated the opponent 1-0.

Unknowingly, the Nottingham Forest team, which was one game short, has accumulated 19 points and ranked second in the league standings. The first place is still Chelsea. Mourinho's team has nine wins and nine wins at the start of the new season, with 27 points topping the list.

But now Dunn is not focusing on the league, but the Champions League game.

On October 19, Champions League Day, the Forest team played against Benfica at home. Dunn adjusted the team lineup, Arteta was replaced by Albertini, George Wood, who had ended the suspension, returned to the starting lineup, and the Forest team's waist suddenly stood up.

What are the consequences of standing up?

The Forest team finally ushered in their first Champions League victory at their home court.

2:1, Nottingham Forest defeated last season's Portuguese league champion Benfica!

Before the game, some people suspected that Wood, who missed the two Champions League games, would not be able to keep up with the team's rhythm, but Wood's performance and usual seem to be the same. The reason is that Dunn told Wood before the game that it would be right to play the Champions League as a normal game. They are all football games without any difference.

Before the game, Benfica was thinking of using Nottingham Forest as a soft persimmon, but he broke his teeth without expecting to bite it down.

In fact, in the first two group matches, Nottingham Forest's performance has not been bad, but because of one or other reasons, they have never won. In the first group match, the Forest team advanced Real Madrid's ball, but was overtaken by Real Madrid at the last minute. In the second group match, it was not easy for the exhausted Forest team to draw with Lille in the away game.

In this game, no one was absent, the physical condition was good, the mentality was good, and the state was good. The forest team at home finally broke out their true strength. Benfica, who underestimated the forest team, became the first victim.

After the game, the Portuguese media used the "Forest team upset" to describe the game, while the English media took it for granted that the Forest team beat Benfica. The Sun ridiculed the Portuguese media’s “upset theory”: “The second place in the Premier League defeated the fourth place in the Portuguese Super League, so will it be called a ‘unpopular’?”

There is no detailed comparative analysis of strength in this statement, but it makes people understand at a glance how absurd the "upset theory" is. Although Dunn doesn't like "The Sun" very much, but this time they help the Forest team to speak to Dunn feel very good.

In another group match held at the same time on the same day, Real Madrid easily defeated Lille at home 2-0.

In this way, the situation in Group D has become that Real Madrid topped the list with two wins, one draw and seven points. Nottingham Forest, the fourth-tier team, originally ranked first from the bottom because it won Benfica. Four divisions are the second place in the group. Lille and Benfica, who have all lost in this round of the game, are ranked third and fourth with two points.

After winning Benfica, everyone looked at the Forest team differently. No one dared to despise this tenacious team. When introducing this game in the latest issue of UEFA’s UEFA Champions League TV magazine, he commented: "...The youngest Champions League coach led the team to achieve its first victory in the Champions League. Let’s look at Tony. • What kind of results can Dunn create..."

The youngest... is really a good hype.

Time entered the end of October. The Forest team won consecutive matches in the league and always followed in Chelsea's footsteps, putting strong teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool under their bodies. They also won their first victory in the Champions League. It seems that Dunn is now proud of the spring breeze.

However, he still had an annoying thing that he didn't tell anyone.

On October 24, the first day after the tenth round of the Premier League, Dunn visited the Royal College of Medicine, University of Nottingham, to visit his player Freddie Eastwood.

After the first operation, the doctors found that the situation did not get better, so they performed a second operation on Eastwood's right knee, and the time of the Gypsy's comeback was pushed back again and again. Seven months have passed since he was injured in the match against Sporting Lisbon. It has been a desperate seven months...

Surgery, recovery, the situation did not improve, another operation, and another recovery.

I can't see any hope at all, and I don't know if this leg will suddenly go wrong after recovery.

Dunn still remembered that he had spoken generously to Eastwood in the ward of this hospital, telling him that fate is a big web of choices intertwined one after another. People always have to face one choice or another, but no matter what No matter what choice you make, you can't stand still and stand still.

Seven months passed, and Dunn felt ashamed to say such things in front of Eastwood. He himself waited a little desperately, and every time a piece of unfavorable news came from the hospital, his heart sank a little.

Dunn didn't ask Eastwood's ward in the lower hall, he went straight up. That number doesn't need to be asked, he has already remembered it.

But when I opened the door of the ward, all I saw was an empty room. Dunn thought he had found the wrong room, he pushed it out and looked up to see the ward number, yes, it was Eastwood’s ward.

He stood at the door thinking for a while, it is impossible for Eastwood to move out of the hospital without knowing it, but Professor Constantine will tell him everything about Eastwood in time.

Dunn walked in, the ward was very tidy. There was a bunch of flowers in the vase on the bedside table. He took a closer look. There were still water drops on the petals and leaves. He touched the bed again, still slightly warm.

It seemed that Eastwood had not moved away, but... Dunn, who was standing at the window, looked down, and soon he found his goal.

With the help of his wife, Freddie Eastwood, who was walking slowly in the garden, looked at Dunn who appeared in front of him with some surprise.

"Boss? Why are you here?" His voice sounded pleasantly surprised.

"I'll see you, Freddy." Dunn shook the bouquet in his hand, and then he smiled at Freddy's wife: "Hello, Serim."

"Hello, boss." The gypsy woman called Dunn after her husband.

The three people sat down on a bench by the side of the gravel road.

"Yesterday's game was really exciting!" Eastwood took the initiative to mention football. He was talking about the just-concluded tenth round of the league. The Forest team played Middlesbrough at home. Because of the grievances between Dunn and Middlesbrough coach McLaren, this game attracted much attention.

The final score was 4:2, and the two sides fought against each other. With a sharper offense and better defense, the Forest team won Middlesbrough, allowing McLaren's record of no wins on the City Stadium to continue.

Dunn scratched his head: "The live TV you watched? Didn't the doctor say it's best not to watch the Forest Team game?"

This is not Dunn's joking, although Dunn did think it was a joke when he first heard this suggestion... Professor Stephen Albert, who was in charge of Eastwood, warned very seriously after the second operation. Eastwood, in order for him to recover as soon as possible, it is best not to watch the Forest team game, so as not to hurt his fragile knee again.

When people are watching the ball, it is inevitable that there will be some excitement. If the movement is large, it is not a strange thing to hurt the knee that has just been operated on.

Eastwood chuckled, and Serem next to him pointed to him and said: "For the Forest team, he didn't miss a game. All of them were broadcast live."

"Don't let me watch the football game, that's not good." Eastwood said, "I can't play football yet. If I don't even let it watch, then I don't know how to pass the time."

Dunn glanced towards his right knee, hesitated for a moment before asking: "This time...how is your recovery?"

"I think it's good!" The gypsy's answer was simple and affirmative. "I think I will be back to the training ground in two months."

Unlike what Dunn had thought before he came, Freddie Eastwood in front of him was full of hope for the future and didn't mean to give up at all.

Seven months or even longer recovery period did not break him. He was still as optimistic as before.

"That's great, Freddie. We are all waiting for you." Dunn felt that he was worried for nothing, and that was the best. "Oh, yes. For the next round of the league, you don't want to watch live TV. Come to the city stadium and watch it live."

Eastwood froze for a moment.

"Why? Can't you leave?" Dun En asked.

"No, boss. No problem, even if you walk from here to the City Stadium, there is no problem."

"Who let you go!" Dunn laughed. "Let you go to watch the game, but you have to watch my knees."

"Don't worry, Boss. I want to recover sooner than you! But... Boss, who is our opponent in the next round of the league?"

"Chelsea." Dunn replied.

Eastwood whistled. "That Chelsea with nine wins and one draw without losing a game?"

"Yes, Chelsea is now ranked first in the league, with 28 points in ten rounds. Why, are you scared, Freddie?"

"I'm kidding! What am I afraid of?" Freddy retorted loudly, then whispered again, "It wasn't me who went to play..."

The two laughed at the same time.
