Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 41: Don't underestimate...Football (Part 1)

George Wood's matter, so it was settled. Dunn found out that he had made a big mistake before. He didn't even look at Wood's physical condition or what position his technical characteristics were suitable for. It was all because Wood said he wanted to play where he wanted. In fact, let alone this kind of football rookie, some professional players who have been trained since childhood do not know what position they are really good at.

For example, the Ivorian "Warcraft" Drogba (Didier`Drogba), who later squeezed Shepchenko (Andri`Shevchenko) onto the bench at Chelsea, was the first defender to play. The position of the Portuguese striker Nuno`Gomes has also undergone many changes, from a defender to a midfielder and from a midfielder to a forward. The Brazilian national team captain Cafu and central defender Lucio played forwards when they debuted, but later changed to defenders and became famous. The world-famous forward "Batis" Batistuta (Gabriel`Batistuta) even switched from playing basketball to playing football, because football makes more money than basketball, and then by mistake, it created a history of Argentina and even the world. He is a prestigious forward, and Batty himself admits that in fact he doesn't like football at all. After he got off the training ground and left the football field, he talked more about basketball with his friends at home.

These successful facts gave Dunn confidence. He believed that he was wise and successful in allowing George Wood to switch to a midfielder. Wood doesn’t have the talent to play forwards at all. He doesn’t know how to catch fighters. He doesn’t know how to move to appear in the open when his teammates pass the ball. He doesn’t know how to stay calm when facing the goalkeeper alone, and how to shoot. ...

Some things can be done through training, and some things can really only be comprehended by yourself. If you are not talented, you will waste your entire career in a position that is not suitable for you.

Fortunately, I went to watch the youth team game on a whim. Otherwise, how long would Wood have to walk on this wrong road? Who knows, maybe two months, maybe four months, and then found no future abandoned by the team...

The next day's "Nottingham Evening Post" reported in an unobtrusive place that West Ham United youth team forward Freddy Eastwood (Freddy`Eastwood) was playing a youth league match with Nottingham Forest. Injured off the court after the game, after the diagnosis, his right leg fractured, will miss the entire season, is expected to recover as long as ten months.

A young player may have been ruined from the past, but no one cares about it anymore. Since the beginning of football, such things have often happened, as common as car accidents.

Professional football...it is so cruel and inhuman.

March 11, the day of the game.

Nottingham Forest, which has won five consecutive victories, will face Grimsby`Town, who had previously been ranked last at the bottom.

"Thirty-five games, won seven games, tied eight games, and lost..." Dunn looked at the statistics table in his hand and smacked, "Twenty games. Thirty-nine goals were scored and lost. Seventy goals. This is our opponent." He couldn't help blowing his whistle, and even attracted the attention of many players in the car.

"Tony, don't underestimate your opponent." Walker reminded, it looked more like a routine.

"I know, I know..." Dunn, who had just settled Wood's future, was in a good mood. He was also relaxed when he encountered this kind of team that ranked the bottom of the league. The team has won five games in a row, the morale is high, and it is at home again. With such a bad opponent, why not continue to win?

He got up and turned his head and said to the players in the car: "Our opponent is very strong!"

There was a burst of laughter in the car.

"Don't be slack." Dunn didn't hold back his smile when he said this, and the answer to him was naturally a louder laugh.

"Kill them!"

"Oh--!!"

Looking at the players with high morale, Dunn sat down again, and then shrugged at Walker: "The danger is eliminated." After speaking, he turned his head and looked out the window, and he could see more and more Forest fans on the side of the road. They are getting closer and closer to the stadium.

When the forest team's red bus passes by them, these fans will hold their scarves and flags waving. Dunn even saw slogans singing praises for himself in these people. The slogans of the two young and beautiful blondes read: Tony, we love you!

Dunn waved to them across the first floor of the car window, and the two girls sent out kisses. After blowing his whistle, he turned his head and stared at them until he could no longer see them. Looking back, Dunn closed his eyes and was still intoxicated.

Hot soft girls, foreign women are just open...

The media covering this game is obviously much more than any previous game. Nottingham Forest has won five games in a row in the league. After being eliminated from the FA Cup by West Ham, they are unbeaten in seven games. Of course, these are not all reasons to attract the media. Dunn’s peculiar experience is also an important factor that attracts the public’s attention. Everyone wants to see what kind of magical performance this February best coach knocked out by his own player will have-he was in the second half of the game against West Ham , And the league with Wimbledon, the on-the-spot command in these two games is considered by many critics to be quite representative.

Tony Dunn is enjoying being a celebrity nationwide. Starting from jumping off the bus, the interview microphone of the media reached the door of the dressing room almost all the way. Everyone is asking what the forest team and himself will perform in this game, and Dunn always smiled and replied: "When the game is over, everyone will naturally know!"

After the game is over, everyone will naturally know...

What a great saying is that it fully reflects the unpredictability of football matches and the correctness of the old saying "Football is round".

The city court slowly fell silent, but the game was not over yet. The more than 1,000 Greensby fans are very excited. Looking at the scoreboard, they have enough reasons to celebrate at other people's home courts.

There are four minutes before the end of the game, and the score is now 2:1, leading the visiting team Greensby.

Dunn was sitting on the coach's bench. He had used up three substitutions. At this moment, he could do nothing but sit here and wait for the end.

That's right, he has become the focus of media attention, and he can even guess what will happen in the media tomorrow. The reporters on the sidelines all aimed at him, and the sound of pressing the shutter never stopped. But in fact, they were able to take only one photo after 80 minutes, because Dunn hadn't changed his expression since then-he didn't have any expression at all.

At this moment, Dunn was trying to maintain this expressionless posture, but the heart in his chest was beating faster. Losing is nothing, but he is unwilling to lose in this game, in this context-everyone thinks they can win, even he himself has not doubted this, everyone sings praises and waits for him for six consecutive games Great news for victory. The results of it?

What a fuck... Dunn couldn't help but want to pronounce the word starting with F.

The Forest team is like headless flies on the court, the offense and defense are unorganized. As time went by, Greensby, who was a guest, became calmer.

These forest team players certainly did not expect that the game that should have been easily won would play so badly. They seemed to be spinning in the quagmire throughout the game, no matter how much strength, how beautiful cooperation, and how sharp offense, they can't perform at all.

Dunn squinted at the opposing head coach who was standing on the sidelines directing the game.

Paul Groves (Paul`Groves), 37-year-old central defender, and head coach of the Greensby team. Another player and coach! But unlike Coventry coach McAllister, Groves always directs the game from the coaching bench in this game. He is a central defender and defensive midfielder when he is playing. He spends most of the time behind the court, observing the game. He has long learned to think about the progress of the game with his head, which is very helpful for him to change his job as a coach.

Dunn didn't expect that he would be defeated by this part-time coach, but he had forgotten that he was also a rookie coach with only seven games experience.

At the beginning of the game, the home team fans were full of expectations. The Forest team scored in 13 minutes and everything is developing in the direction of Nottingham Forest. But in the last minute of the first half, Greensby scored an equalizer goal. Then only three minutes into the second half, the Forest team was hit hard again, and Greensby overtook the score.

The following time was the forest team's crazy counterattack, and Greensby fully returned to defense, the gates were closed, the Forest team called for nothing. Now that the eighty-eight minutes have passed, it seems that the hope of equalizing the score is getting slimmer, let alone winning.

"Eighty-eight minutes!" John Mortensen reminded, "We all remember the scene of the game against Wimbledon. The tenacious Forest team scored the winning goal in the 90th minute of the game. It was their fifth consecutive game. The starting point for victory. Now, can Tony Dunn’s forest team perform miracles?"

Kenny Burns in front of the TV shook his head. There was so much difference between that game and this one. In that game, except for the time when Wimbledon scored two goals, the Forest team performed very well at other times, basically controlling the rhythm of the game at their own feet. And what about this game? After the Forest team scored a goal in the 13th minute, the pace of the game fell into the opponent's hands a little bit. The fast passing that the Forest team demonstrated in the first five games was completely unavailable. What was the result? In order to one-sided pursuit of speed, the players frequently play high balls, and the success rate is appallingly low.

Burns looked at this game from the perspective of his previous career as a professional player, and he has already sentenced the forest team to death in advance. But what made him strange was that Dun En could definitely see the problem he could see.

Why did he not make any adjustments when the team was blindly rushing for a long pass, but let the game conditions continue to deteriorate?

There was a dead silence in the bar, fans were looking up at the ball, and in the last few minutes of the game, everyone hoped for a miracle.
