Godfather Of Champions

"Goal goalkeeper-Raul Gonzalez!!!"

Wearing a white No. 7 jersey, the former golden boy of Spain ran to the sidelines with open arms, beat the Real Madrid team badge with his right hand twice, and then made a "V" gesture.

Zidane, who assisted him, ran to him happily.

In the stands behind the superstars, the white crowd was raging.

George Wood, the loser, stood on the court, staring blankly at the celebrating Real Madrid players. He had more reason to feel pain than anyone else, because he could have prevented this goal from happening at the expense of himself. ...

Albertini ran up from behind and rubbed Wood's hair vigorously, saying nothing.

Dunn was sitting on the coach's bench. When he saw Zidane passing Wood easily, he had actually expected the result, so he didn't even get up.

Why does he think 1:0 is not insured? Because he knows how difficult it is for Real Madrid to not score a goal at the Bernabéu. The lead must be expanded, but before he expands, the advantage is gone.

The TV broadcast once again gave him a five-second close-up, and Tony Dunn's face was still expressionless.

But Chris Lak, who was next to Dunn, looked very upset.

After Real Madrid equalized the score, the situation continued to benefit them. Nottingham Forest had to retreat across the board and completely gave up the attack, which resisted Real Madrid's onslaught in the final moments of the first half.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, fans at the Bernabéu Stadium were full of optimistic expectations for the second half. The fans of Nottingham Forest looked worriedly at the players who bowed their heads.

After being equalized, what impact will it have on team morale?

Dunn went back to the locker room and looked at the players. Everyone was taking time to rest. He closed the door smoothly, then walked to the front of the tactical **** and wiped it clean.

"I remember I said before the game that our defense is a full-court defense." Dunn redrawn the lineup of Real Madrid. "But I didn't see it, did anyone see it?"

The players looked at each other, obviously the boss was angry again.

"More often, what I see is..." Dunn drew eleven circles in the Forest team halftime. "Such a defense!" He made a strong cross on those eleven circles.

"Eleven people shrank in their own half, waiting for the opponent to attack, are you all a bunch of turtles with heads down!"

"Just lead by one ball, then retract back and hope to hold it! Who told you? Me?"

A group of players curled their necks and scolded, it really looks like a turtle.

"What does the full court press mean? You are all from the youth team, do you need me to explain it?" Dunn vented his dissatisfaction, and said slowly, "In the second half...full court press, start defense from the front line One, two, three, four!" Dunn started drawing straight lines from the front court, and lined up one by one to his second half.

"I don't want to see a scene where everyone turns around and runs back after losing the ball. The ball is intercepted in the frontcourt, and the counterattack is on the spot. How many people can go up. We don't need a tie. You have to be clear, this is not related to Whether to qualify or not, we have to qualify, even if we lose to Real Madrid, we can qualify! This is a game related to our own honour! We lost to them at home, do you want to lose again here? !"

Dunn gritted his teeth and glared at the players with a grim look.

"Tony, did you have something just now... We haven't lost after all." At the beginning of the second half, Chris Luck asked Dunn who was sitting next to him.

"The score is not the real reason for my anger, it is just an excuse." Dunn watched his assistant coach accept it on the court. "What makes me dissatisfied is that the players' performance on the court violated our pre-match performance. Deployment, I allow players to have their own play on the court, but if their free play is wrong, I will criticize them. It's that simple."

"So Wood..."

During the intermission, Dunn did not say anything to Wood in particular, nor did he leave Wood to talk alone in the locker room when he was about to play. There was no praise or criticism. He seemed to completely ignore his defensive performance by Zidane. , And that lost ball.

Chris Lack felt that this was not like Dunn's style, because Dunn's preference for Wood is known to everyone.

"There is nothing to say... He worked very hard, but the strength gap lies there. And there are some things... you can't make up for it by working **** the court."

Chris Lak is even stranger: "You don't comfort him either? He has been silent, more silent than before. I think the loss of the ball is a big blow to him."

Dunn smiled: "It's not a three-year-old kid. I have to comfort me for everything... I think it's pretty good. His career has gone too smoothly, and it is a good thing that he often encounters some setbacks."

In fact, one of the most important reasons Dunn didn’t say: he didn’t know what to do now. Wood carrying a yellow card, for the team’s defensive core, is equivalent to a sudden explosion without knowing when. The bomb is a hidden danger.

But whether to change or not, Dunn is hesitant now.

Changing is equivalent to removing the barrier in front of the back line, allowing Real Madrid's attack to quickly reach the most dangerous place.

No change, once Wood gets the second yellow card, then the guard line will still lose an important barrier, and the Forest team will lose one person on the court, which is a more serious situation.

Simple analysis, Dunn should choose to replace, it should be because this can make the loss relatively to the lowest. But things on the football field are not so simple to analyze. First, Wood may not get the second yellow card; second, whether Wood is replaced at the beginning of the second half will have any bad effect on Wood. After all, this is equivalent to denying a player in front of everyone. Performance on the court.

The above are all uncertain factors, and the possible consequences of making judgments through uncertain factors and putting them into action are also uncertain.

These messy uncertainties came together and made Dunn hesitate.

He stopped talking, staring at the court with solemn expression.

Dunn’s scolding in the locker room during the intermission took effect. The forest team’s performance in the second half has changed a lot from the first half. The players have strengthened their steals in the frontcourt and after losing the ball. The anti-grab on the spot is also very good. Real Madrid suddenly became uncomfortable.

This is the scene Dunn hopes to see. Real Madrid players have to focus more on how to deal with the crazy pressing of the Forest, rather than thinking about how to play a beautiful match and then score.

Real Madrid has always been afraid of this kind of press. They put too much emphasis on beautiful ball handling and offense, but there is no player who can protect this kind of beautiful air and offense. The only Makelele is still abandoned by them. Real Madrid is now This has paid the price of being empty-handed for two consecutive seasons, and if there is no surprise, they will continue to be empty-handed this season.

The rise of Nottingham Forest is inseparable from their excellent defensive midfielder-George Wood. When Wood is stable, the rest of the Forest team can safely attack. They don't have to worry about getting caught in the opponent's press, because Wood is better at grabbing than the opponent and they are not afraid of losing the ball.

Real Madrid now does not have this ability.

what? You say Gravesen?

In Dunn's eyes, this Danish was completely unworthy of mention. At Everton, Gravesson can still shine, and coming to Real Madrid is basically tantamount to going backwards. In fact, this phenomenon is very interesting. Many players who have performed well in other teams immediately disappeared when they arrived at Real Madrid.

For example, Gravesen mentioned earlier, at Everton, he was a midfielder who could organize an offense. And the Uruguayan defensive midfielder Pablo García, who only transferred to Real Madrid this summer, was the most "dirty" defensive midfielder in La Liga last season when he was in Osasuna. "Butcher", but when he arrived at Real Madrid, he suddenly couldn't find his way. Similarly, Baptista, who is at the core of Sevilla, is one of the most eye-catching players in La Liga. Real Madrid’s performance has fallen from heaven to the ground.

As a defensive midfielder, Gravesson is more than one grade behind Makelele in terms of position, prediction, running or defensive skills. Dunn even thinks that Gravesen in Real Madrid is inferior to George Wood in the Forest.

He seems to suddenly change from the all-around midfielder who can organize offenses and kick accurate passes to a reckless man who can only tackle fouls.
