Godfather Of Champions

Eighty-nine minutes. Forest's Andy Reid planned an offense that might be their last threat in the second half. A beautiful two-to-one match in the penalty area, David Johnson and Marlon Heilwood attracted the attention of almost all Greensby players. Eugen Pope unexpectedly intervened and appeared in the penalty area. Then he Receive Reid's through plug and face the goalkeeper alone!

All the fans in the stadium, all the Forest fans in Nottingham stood up, they were waiting for the miracle to happen!

Including Dun En, who was just like a puppet, also rushed down from the coach's bench, hoping to celebrate the goal with the opportunity.

But... Eugen Pope's powerful shot missed the goal.

"Woo-!" The huge sigh couldn't conceal the disappointment of the fans.

Dunn even directly threw the suit he held in his hands to the ground, and he made no secret of his inner anger and disappointment. Although this defeat was largely caused by him. The only thought in his mind now is-I must let Pope practice shooting after I go back!

The photographers on the sidelines were excited when seeing Dun En’s impulsive performance. What they were waiting for was this moment. They quickly pressed the shutter with their fingers again, and recorded Dun En’s publicity in the camera.

"This is the best opportunity! But Eugen Pope wasted it! Listen to the sighs in the city stadium... The miracle did not happen again. Coach Tony Dunn's good luck is over!"

The moment Dunn had just dropped his clothes to the ground, the next door coach Greensby jumped up. His team had survived this catastrophe, and victory was near. Unexpectedly, they can get three points in this game, maybe this is the precious three points that decides whether they will stay in the first division or be demoted to the second this season!

Pope, who missed the key ball, lay disappointed on the ground, covering his face with his hands. He didn't even dare to look at the angry and disappointed eyes of the fans. For him, he lost an excellent opportunity to become a team hero and make all fans fall in love with him overnight. And such an opportunity will not appear in front of his defensive midfield again next time.

As Pope missed this almost inevitable goal, the Forest team suddenly lost their fighting spirit and confidence. They seemed absent-minded on the court for the next game and seemed to look forward to the game's end soon. Heilwood spread his hands helplessly in the frontcourt, and no one passed the ball to him. Although he scored a goal in this game, he was unable to save the team from the crisis.

Dunn picked up his clothes again from the ground, then walked back to the coach's bench and sat down.

"Dess, do you know? Yesterday I was here to teach a kid who knows nothing about the heights of the sky, and warned him not to underestimate professional football, otherwise he will be punished. Now I have made the same mistake as him..." His voice was low. , Murmured in a low mood. "The responsibility for this game lies entirely with me. I lost... nothing to say."

Des patted Dunn on the shoulder and comforted: "Tony, consecutive victories are good. But no one has never experienced failure. Look a little bit off." At this moment, he seemed to be an old coach with many battles, and Tang En is just a player who has just been replaced and is deeply disappointed in his performance.

One minute later, the head referee on duty blew the whistle at the end of the game. Before the game, people had high hopes, and the unanimously optimistic Forest team lost 1:2 to Greensby, who was the worst in the league at home. For outsiders who don’t know Dunn, this is not his first defeat in coaching the forest first team, but for Dunn himself, this is his first defeat-the FA Cup game with West Ham. He has insisted that he won the game, but lost to the referee.

Hearing the whistle, Dunn got up from his seat, and the players bowed their heads and walked into the player's aisle. Walker was comforting these people one by one. Their disaster was over, and his... just started.

He glanced at the media surrounding the corridor. This is a tough "match" and he has to work hard to deal with the harsh media. Those people are all waiting to see him joke.

After the game, the press conference room of the City Stadium.

It was not the first time that Dunn came to this kind of place. Some reporters who interviewed him could already be recognized from the crowd. For example, he saw Pierce Bruce again.

Sitting next to Dunn is his opponent in this game. Greensby's coach, 37-year-old Paul Groves, is three years older than himself. He led the team to win the game and was in a very good mood, accepting questions from reporters with a smile on his face. But the protagonist of this press conference is not him.

After answering a few very common questions, he was left out in the cold. Almost everyone's firepower was concentrated on Tony Dunn's side.

"Coach Tony Dunn, before the game, it was agreed that the game would be won easily, but ended in failure, what do you want to say?" The local media of Nottingham was most dissatisfied with this game, so they asked sharp questions. Not emotional. Don't look at praised Dunn as the best coach before, as long as he loses, he will turn his face and deny him.

Tang En glanced at the reporter who asked the question. But it should be the local media in Nottingham, because the reporter's English accent has a strong Nottingham flavor. "I have nothing to say. If you lose, you lose. The head coach of Greensby did a good job, and his team deserves to win."

This kind of perfunctory answer obviously did not satisfy the media, so someone stood up and asked: "But you and your players are full of confidence before the game, and someone guarantees that the team will win a winning streak during an interview..."

"Shit!" Dunn suddenly exploded with a foul language, and the audience was shocked. "Whoever said this, you go to whom. I have never said on any occasion that we can win easily and have six consecutive victories. Are you an idiot?" Dunn stood up and leaned over and asked, "The game I haven't played yet, how would I know the result, how could I say such a thing as a winning streak? Do you understand football?"

The reporter didn't expect that Dunn would suddenly become angry. He stood there for a while, not knowing what to say or what to do. Dunn sat back again, changed his posture, raised his legs and said, "Alright, next one."

Pierce Bruce followed Robson to interview Dun En. Although he embarrassed himself twice, he still treated him fairly and objectively from the perspective of a journalist. He had advantages and disadvantages. As for the swearing at the press conference, he believes that this is the reason for the pressure after the loss of the coach Dunn. After interviewing him and thinking that he knew his motives better than others, Bruce decided to reverse the embarrassing scene before him. So he stood up.

"Ah!" Without waiting for Bruce to speak, Dunn spoke first, "James Bond has something to say."

There was finally some laughter at the scene, and the embarrassment just now was wiped away.

Bruce didn't mind the nickname Dunn gave him to Ann. He smiled and asked, "Coach Dunn, what impact will the loss of this game have on the team's upgrade plan?"

This question is quite satisfactory, but now Dun En likes this kind of question, he doesn't need to be violently choked with reporters. "It will definitely have an impact, but it's not clear whether it is good or bad. Just like the final score is not known before the game starts, the season is not over yet, and we don't know the specific impact of this defeat."

Dunn was tired of this kind of media siege. In fact, he didn't know what tricky questions would be asked if he continued. He was not good at dealing with the media in group battles, so he kicked the football to the feet of the victor next to him.

"Everyone, I think you guys made a little mistake. Greensby won this game, not my Nottingham Forest. The winner should be the protagonist, right? So... if you have any questions, just ask Grove. Mr. Si! I'm sorry, I have to go." After speaking, he turned around and walked off the stage and quickly left the scene despite the surprised eyes of everyone.

Bruce stood there, looking at Dun En's hurriedly fleeing back, shook his head with a wry smile.

Dunn, who returned to the locker room, found that all the teams were there, but none left. Looking at the frustrated player, Dunn smiled. His mood suddenly improved.

Think about what it was like here during the halftime loss to West Ham United two months ago. You know why Dun En is happy. Teams and players who will be in a bad mood after losing have a future. On the contrary, if you lose the ball and smile if nothing has happened, Dunn will probably pick up his chair and smash the locker room cabinet at this time.

"Okay, guys. Don't be so frustrated, we just lost one game. It's not that we lost the whole season. When we lose this season, you guys will cry again." Dunn clapped his hands and motioned for him to come back.

Michael Dawson stood up as the captain, and he wanted to apologize to the bishop who trusted him for this failure. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Dunn's gesture stopped him.

"I am all responsible for the failure of this game. You have no problems. You did a good job. That's all I want to say. Now I go out and take the car back to the hotel, take a hot shower, change into clean clothes, what do you want to do? "When no one was moving, Dunn sighed, "Well, no one is allowed to leave the hotel tonight, and all go to bed at ten o'clock. There will be no holiday tomorrow. The team will be closed for training for a week until the next game... Oh no Until you win the ball."

"Oh, no!" The players finally reacted, but they didn't expect this kind of punishment.

Dunn laughed: "Since you don't want to do this, then get up and get in the car!"

A group of players hurriedly jumped up from their seats and rushed out of the locker room. When Dawson passed by Dunn, he wanted to apologize to the coach by the way, but he let Dunn slap him out. "Put away your apologies, Michael. Have a good vacation, and then come back to practice games."

Soon, there were only three people left in the locker room.

Tony Dunn, Des Walker and Ian Bowyer.

"Tony, I think you seem to be in a better mood?" Walker cared about his partner. "Did something happen at the press conference?"

Bowyer shook his head: "When he just stepped into this door, I don't think he looked very good. You are because of the team, right?"

Dunn nodded: "It's just a loss. I don't care about recording this kind of thing. The point is that I have seen good things in these players. This failure is just an accident. We are not off track. The team is still leading to the Super League. Drive at high speed on the road. Let’s go, don’t think about the past game, and go to Burns’s bar to drink and relax in the evening.”

Locking the door, the three walked side by side to the bus outside the stadium.

After five consecutive victories, the Forest team suffered a defeat. But for Dunn himself, that was just the starting point for another five-game winning streak.

Some people will only feel sorry for themselves in the face of failure, or dejected, panic as if the end of the world is coming. And some people can find what they need in the face of failure. So what is waiting for the former will be one after another, with more failures, and what will meet the latter is new victories.
