Godfather Of Champions

But Dunn's excitement didn't last long. After seeing Roy Keane himself, the flame in his heart was quickly extinguished by his basin of cold water.

"I know Mr. Dunn why you called my agent." In a simple Irish restaurant, sitting in a small private room, former Manchester United captain Roy Keane said to Dunn. Unfortunately, I want to decline your invitation."

Dunn was stunned. Is this Irish midfielder so direct?

After thinking about it, he could only honestly ask: "Why?"

The agent Michael Kennedy next to this question helped Keane answer: "Because Roy does not intend to be Manchester United's opponent in the Premier League."

What Dunn knows, Roy Keane, after leaving Manchester United freely, went to the Celtics team in the Scottish Premier League during the winter transfer period and joined the team he loved since childhood. It turned out to be because of this... rejecting his invitation from this angle really made him unable to continue lobbying.

He recalled the history of Keane after he left Manchester United...the Soviet Union Celtics, and then...then it seemed that he went to Sunderland as the head coach. When he was crossing, the man was still leading the second-to-last "Black Cat" in the English Champions League to the Super League.

No one believed that the Irishman could succeed, nor did Dunn before crossing. But now he believed it, because he had experienced such incredible things firsthand.

He looked at Keane in front of him. They played against each other a season ago. He didn't expect to sit down and chat in casual clothes like this now.

Because of his arrival, he doesn't know whether Keane will become Sunderland's head coach in the future. He doesn't even know whether Keane will become a Celtics player after rejecting Nottingham Forest.

"Roy... do you have any plans for the future?" Dunn asked in silence for a while.

"Planning? Are you talking about joining a club or..."

"Further, what do you want to do when you retire?"

Keane thought for a while: "Coach. In my career, the two head coaches have left a very deep impression on me, and I hope I can become a winner like them in the future."

The Irish did not say which two people they were, but Dunn knew in his heart that one was the late Nottingham Forest coach, who brought Keane from his hometown to England's top league and trained him into a rising star Brian Clough. The other is to **** him from Blackburn to Manchester United and make him a world-class star Alex Ferguson.

"I think we have the same points." Dunn decided to be close to Keen. Even if Keen rejected him now, it means that he will not change his mind in the future. "Well, in my coaching career, Brian Clough has been the most affected. When I just led the Forest team to some small successes, Clough wanted to see me. I thought it was an award or Speaking of appreciation, I didn’t expect that that afternoon I became a completely forgotten supporting role."

Speaking of this, Dunn suddenly laughed: "Roy, we are really destined."

Keane raised his eyebrows.

"On the way back to Nottingham, I was depressed because of the cold reception, and then Walker, who was with me, told me a short story, and I suddenly understood...Do you know who the protagonist of the story is? It's you, Roy."

Keane was a little surprised.

"He told me that after making a good debut, you met Clough on the training ground the next day. He asked your name and asked you to polish his shoes."

Hearing this, Keane also smiled: "Yes, there is this. I didn't expect them to remember..." He then fell silent, seeming to be caught in reminiscence of the past. The boy with a naive face back then has become a thirty-four-year-old "old man" now. Twelve years of time seemed like a blink of an eye.

"Roy, I don't know which club you will choose in the end, but I hope you accept my kind offer."

Keene recovered from his memory and looked up at Dunn.

"There are still twenty-three days before the winter transfer period starts. Before you are sure of your next stop, you may wish to train with my team to maintain your fitness and state."

Hearing Dunn's words, even Michael Kennedy on the side was surprised.

"It's normal training. You don't need to participate in my team's training, but train independently according to your own plan. Nottingham Forest Club provides you with all the facilities. You can use the locker room, restaurant, gym, and treatment room with the players. …Except for not playing for the Forest team and not participating in team training, you can do anything. Even if you come in a Manchester United jersey."

Hearing the last sentence, Keane's mouth twitched, and immediately returned to calm.

Agent Michael Kennedy turned to look at Roy Keane.

Keane lowered his head and asked, "Does this do you any good, Mr. Dunn?"

Dunn spread his hands and shrugged: "Why do people ask'what good is this for me?' when doing something? Can it help others? Anyway, the forest team training base has so many venues, many It’s not crowded if you go to training alone. Of course, if you have to let me explain why, I think Nottingham Forest Club will be more familiar to you than other teams.”

"I'm familiar with it twelve years ago..." Keane murmured.

Dunn thought Keane disagreed, and was about to show a "regret" expression on his face, but he heard him add: "Well, before I find the right club, I will train here. Anyway, I It's already here. Michael?"

Kennedy nodded: "I also think that Mr. Dunn's invitation is very timely, and I am very grateful to Mr. Dunn for his enthusiasm and generosity."

Dunn laughed: "Where, I'm stingy, grotesque, stubborn, and blemishes must be reported... the media say so."

The two men on the opposite side also laughed.

Dunn clutched his stomach and said, "Can we eat now?"

The laughter rang out as soon as it stopped.

Kennedy went out to ask the waiter to put on the menu, while Keane lay on the table and looked at Dunn: "Mr. Dunn, I'm very interested in the story you didn't finish just now. You said Walker would give it to you when you were down. I told my story, what happened later?"

"Later..." Dunn pretended to think about it, and then said, "Later Walker told me that the kid who polished Clough's shoes would become a world-class midfielder and the captain of the Irish national team. Later... …I think I am doing pretty well now!"

The two men laughed at the same time.

To be humble, but not to lose confidence. These two men who are three years apart do have this in common. (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please visit WWW.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
