Godfather Of Champions

Dunn, who came home, could only vent his disappointment to Tang. Anyway, his audience did not do this for a day or two. He was eating while listening to Dunn's grumble.

"...Damn the Celtics! Damn! If it weren't for them, Roy; Keane would be mine now! Our midfielder will have a player who will frighten all our opponents, a titan, a commander! He can help I won all the championships, and he can play high-level football for another three years, instead of going to the cold Glasgow for retirement now! And that is not a good place for retirement, much worse than Qatar..." Finally, Dunn Mumbled.

After finishing the meal, Tang tidied the dishes, and glanced at Dunn, who was still a little excited: "In that case, the media will say that Nottingham Forest is a new nursing home."

"I **** don't care what the media say." Tang En took a bite of beef.

"And we have Wood in midfield."

"You said George? He is still young, and he still has a lot to learn. Roy Keane is a good teacher, but the time is too short, I don't know what he learned, or he didn't learn anything. To."

"If you don't know, you will know during the game."

Dunn sighed: "Tang, I originally planned well-Albertini taught George how to become a qualified midfielder and professional player. Now it seems that the results are good. George is much better than when he first joined the first team. Then Keane, well, the two of them have similar temperaments and personalities. I want George to be such a player with the ability to lead a team. Why did Manchester United succeed? Because they have Roy Keane. Me. You know this better than I do."

Don nodded. In the 97-98 season, Wenger's Arsenal became the double champion. That season Roy; Keane only played for Manchester United for nine games because of a knee injury. After the season, Ferguson admitted that he lost Keane and Manchester United simply Inability to fight Arsenal.

Roy Keane's role and status in Manchester United is no longer as simple as a captain. To a large extent, he represents the spirit of Manchester United. He is the backbone of Manchester United. It is almost impossible for others to associate the name "Roy Keane" with other teams. When you mention Keane, you will think of Manchester United. When it comes to Manchester United captain, it is definitely not Beckham, nor Gary; Well, it can only be Roy Keane. He is even considered by many Manchester United fans to be the greatest and most successful captain in Manchester United history, and his status has surpassed "King" Cantona and a legendary captain in history.

There is a word in football that vividly describes this kind of person-the banner.

Paul Maldini is the flag of Ac Milan, Raúl; Gonzalez is the flag of Real Madrid, Del; Piero is the flag of Juventus, Oliver; Kahn is the flag of Bayern Munich... …And Roy Keane is the banner of Manchester United.

Dunn hopes that one day, George Wood can also become the banner of Nottingham Forest, so he hopes that Keane can give Wood more help and guidance in the Forest team, so that he can become the banner closer and make fewer detours. .

But now...

"My plan is all in the water..." Dunn leaned back in his chair and spread his hands.

"I remember you told me that football cannot be planned."

"what……"

※※※

No matter how unwilling Dunn was to let Keane go, there was no way to change things now. The only comforting thing is-through this incident, he and Keane, who had no friendship at first, became friends. Maybe this will be a good thing in the future. After all, as an "outsider", it is better to have one more friend in football than one more enemy.

On the second day of training, Roy Keane appeared on the other half of the court on time. Dunn greeted him in the past, and he will come and continue to lead the training. Everyone has become accustomed to this scene, and there will never be a situation of staring at people like the first day.

But now I'm afraid they don't know that this is the last time Keane appeared in Vilford's training field.

After returning home yesterday, Dunn paid attention to the major media and found no news about Keane's transfer to the Celtics. Keane can't lie to him, so there is only one possibility: this news has not been made public yet, Tony; Dunn may be the first to know about this except for the parties involved. From this point of view, Keane really regarded Dunn as a friend.

Because tomorrow the whole team is going to the big squad to go away to prepare for the game with Aston Villa, so today only half a day of training in the morning, after the training is over, George Wood arranged for himself as usual.

The coaching staff and the entire team know that this has become Wood's habit. Half-day training may be too easy for him. As long as he only trains for half a day, he will train himself for 40 minutes after training.

It's just that when the players on the training field returned to the locker room one after another and left the training base after showering and changing their clothes in the locker room, in addition to George Wood, there was Roy Key on the training field. Yep.

This is the first time he has practiced for himself in so many days.

Wood is working on his pass, and Keane is working on shooting.

Twenty-five minutes later, Keane took the lead to leave the training ground, returned to the locker room with sweat all over, dragged his clothes and went to the next room to take a shower. He didn't stand under the shower head to take a shower, but lay in the sink to take a bath.

Fifteen minutes later, Keane heard a door opening in the locker room. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was exactly forty minutes before the end of the training session, not much, not a lot.

This kid...

After hearing the sound of undressing, George Wood walked into the misty bathroom naked, turned on the faucet, tested the temperature of the water, put his whole body under the sprinkler, and poured hot water from his head to his feet. .

Just as he closed his eyes and enjoyed the relaxing moment after this training, a voice made his body tighten like a reflex.

"Hey, kid."

It's Roy; Keane's voice.

"What are you nervous about?"

Wood relaxed, and continued to stand under the shower head, doing nothing, letting the water splash down.

"You don't know who I am. We exchanged jerseys."

"...Kean, Roy; Keane." Wood finally spoke.

Keane grinned and chuckled twice: "It seems that you haven't forgotten me. Do you remember what I said to you when we exchanged jerseys? "We will fight against each other often, don't let me down, kid . "It's a pity that I won't have frequent matches... I'm going to Glasgow tomorrow, do you know where it is? The capital of Scotland, I'll go there to sign with a team. At that time I didn't expect to leave Manchester United one day early... …" Keane changed his sitting position in the pool, rested his head against the pool, put his arms on the shore, and looked up at the ceiling.

"Although I won't fight frequently anymore, I will continue to follow you. Would you like to know why I follow you so much, kid?"

Wood moved a bit and turned to look at the figure in the pool: "Yeah."

"Because you have some similarities with the young me, um, just some... your talent is far worse than mine. Hey, I heard that Real Madrid was very interested in you some time ago, why did you refuse in the end? That's a family A club much bigger than Nottingham Forest. When your current team is desperate to qualify for the Champions League, what they consider is failure. If you go there, you will soon become Countless halos, glory, and money will come to you for the stars that are followed by the whole world. Why don't you go?"

"I don't want to go."

"Hey, don’t all those glory and money appeal to you at all? Why should I transfer from the Forest to Manchester United? Why should I insist on adding'If Forest' when I renew my contract with Nottingham Forest If the team is relegated, I can leave the team’s conditions? Because I know that Nottingham Forest is just a small team, she can’t keep me, I have higher goals, more ambitious ideals, I want to win a lot... , Have you thought about this? What are you playing for, kid?"

What are you playing for? Two people have asked George Wood this question in just half a month. The previous person was his head coach Tony Dunn.

In the past, Wood wanted to play because of the high salaries of professional players, who could support himself and his mother and heal her mother. Later, the Forest Club provided money to help them move out of the slum area and operated on his mother. His goal of playing football has been achieved, so what is he doing?

After thinking for a long time, Wood bowed his head and said: "I don't know..."

Keane didn't mean to embarrass Wood on this issue, but changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that you are now the second captain of the team. How does it feel to wear the captain's armband?"

"Very... very complicated."

"Have you ever been proud of it?" Keane asked.

Wood nodded.

"And did you feel pressure and worry?"

Wood continued to nod.

Then Keane smiled: "That's right, I thought you were a monster with a stone heart. Boy, what do you think the captain does?"

Wood recalled what Dunn and Albertini had said to him before: "Help teammates solve problems and lead the team to victory..."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"It's not that simple, boy. When I was playing for Nottingham Forest, I met a very, very good captain, and I still want to thank him until now. Stuart Pierce, you heard of the name ?"

Wood nodded, the forest team's best captain, he still knows.

"He opened my eyes to this little boy. He let me know what a professional player is and what a good professional player is. Besides... he let me know what is a captain. So I became twenty When I put on Manchester United’s captain’s armband at the age of six, I looked comfortable."

"Let me tell you... Captain, if it's a man first. Do you know what a man is, kid?"

Wood doesn't know how to answer Keane's question, man... doesn't it mean that physiologically has the following thing? He lowered his head.
