Godfather Of Champions

When Dun En walked back to the game, he felt that something was wrong, but it was impossible to say what was wrong.

He didn't react until he saw Rijkaard coming out of the tunnel and then looking up at the sky.

He also looked up at the night sky.

The rain stopped!

His eyes widened and he stretched out his palms, without a drop of rain hitting his cheeks or palms.

The wind was blowing over the court, and he could even see the dark clouds in the night sky rolling and leaving here.

The quagmire that bound Barcelona is gone, and God's will has changed.

"Fucking... Damn..." Dunn muttered, raising his head.

The weather conditions that were most favorable to oneself became favorable to the opponent.

Without heavy rain, with the drainage capacity of the French Stadium, the stadium will soon not be as slippery as the first half. By the time……

This is almost impossible to think about.

"Tony, what's the matter?" David Chris Lak, who came up from behind, surpassed Dunn and found that he was still standing there.

"Nothing... Let's go, David." Dunn didn't want people to know his inner worries.

"Dear viewers, welcome to the 05-06 UEFA Champions League final! The two sides are from England's Nottingham Forest and Spain's Barcelona. It is now in the second half of the game, the score between the two sides is 1:0, and Nottingham Forest temporarily leads."

After the start of the game, Rijkaard replaced the defensive midfielder Edmilson with "Little White" Iniesta. The meaning of this substitution is obvious, which is to continue to strengthen the offense and completely gain control of the midfielder. . Rijkaard believes that the Forest team, which is leading by one less person, will definitely continue to defend in the second half. If it puts a defensive midfielder in the midfield, it will be wasted, and the skilled Iniesta can continue to give the Forest. The team's defense created pressure.

Barcelona also besieged Notting Forest like the first half, while the Forest team huddled in the penalty area to defend. Perhaps for audiences who like Barcelona, ​​this kind of game is very beautiful, because they can see Ronaldinho and other stars perform, see Barcelona playing against each other, they don’t even need to feel for Barcelona’s defense. Worry-the Forest team simply can't attack Barcelona's 30-meter area.

Barcelona dominated the game and the situation where Nottingham Forest was beaten with nothing but parry and no fight back also made many Forest team supporters sweat. But Dunn didn't worry about this at all.

Although the Forest team is on the defensive, only experts can tell that their formation is maintained very well, the three lines are tight, and they have not been separated by Barcelona's attack. As long as the Forest team stays like this, Barcelona will have no chance. Regardless of their grandeur, they are actually just thunder and rain.

Nottingham Forest played this tactic for two seasons, and now it is even more handy in the Champions League final.

"It seems that Coach Dunn is determined to guard until the end of the game. This is the situation he is best at handling, even though the second half has just begun..." The commentator's tone was joking.

Barcelona seems to have no better way to face the forest team with a barrel formation. Ronaldinho wants to rely on his personal skills to break through the forest team's three-layer defense, which has become an impossible task. With such a dense defense, Eto'o has no room for him to sprint and get rid of.

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes... Barcelona is getting more and more impatient.

There is one more person than the opponent, but the score is behind, and the situation is not open for a long time. Facing this situation, it will be a ghost if it is not impatient.

Huge pressure is hanging on the heads of the Barcelona players. If they fail to win the game in the end, they will become the laughing stock of all of Europe. Because they are stronger than their opponents, they have more numbers than the other, they have the advantage of the whole game, but let the Forest team win the game with a sneak attack.

Winning the championship is not only a kind of glory, a recognition of others, but also a kind of pressure.

※※※

Dunn saw the Barcelona players start to be impatient off the court, and the tight nerves on his face finally relaxed. This is a good sign.

As the game time goes by, as long as the Forest team continues to defend like this, then Barcelona will be more impatient, when Eto'o, who is like a gunpowder keg, may choose to do it himself.

Good job! Dunn likes aggressive opponents and aggressive forwards.

He is not at all afraid of opponents who rely on his body to kick the ball.

The Forest team succeeded in stealing and launched an offensive. Albertini made a long pass to find Viduka, the beacon of the frontcourt. Viduka won when he competed with Max for the header. He placed the football to Arteta, who had been quickly inserted, and the Forest team switched from defense to attack.

Defense is not blindly defensive, it must be counterattack to continue to harass the opponent, so that Barcelona dare not fully pressure, this is already a commonplace, even if Dunn does not say, the forest team players also know how to do.

Arteta's stop was not very good, so Puyol broke back, and then Barcelona counterattacked. At this time, when the Forest team turned to attack with the right hand, the backcourt defense was not intensive, and there was a lot of space to be used.

Puyol did not hesitate and pushed a straight line, and the football rolled to Iniesta's feet.

When the players of the Forest team focused on Eto'o and Ronaldinho, Iniesta shot out. After receiving the football, he turned around and threw Albertini away. Faced with Pikwe's shovel, he swiftly pushed the football away and jumped to avoid it. At this time, only Pepe and goalkeeper Paul Gerrard were in front of him...

"Chance of Barcelona! Iniesta... Iniesta! He passed two!"

Pepe's position is very reasonable and he is confident of this one-on-one. Iniesta saw Pepe stepping back cautiously to prevent his surprise attack, so he didn't choose to force a breakthrough, but suddenly kicked and shot directly outside the penalty area!

The football rolled to the goal against the turf, Paul Gerrard, who was highly focused, took the ball in his arms.

"Paul Gerrard saved Iniesta's shot! This was a good opportunity for Barcelona, ​​but Iniesta's shot was too light!"

Pepe yelled from behind: "Don't give them this opportunity again!"

But what's the use? It is impossible for the Forest team to shrink in the penalty area within 45 minutes and not get out.

Of course, Iniesta's breakthrough just now may have been terminated in Albertini's place-if George Wood was in that position, he would definitely foul without hesitation.

"Tony, we need to fight back..." Chris Luck reminded him seeing the thrilling scene on the court just now.

"Of course... if we have spare capacity." Dunn still insisted on defending firmly first.

"One goal is not safe..."

"For Barcelona, ​​it is not easy to lead by one goal, David." After speaking, Dunn got up from his seat and walked to the bench. "Freddy, go warm up."

Eastwood jumped up from his seat, threw off his coat and ran out.

After confessing, Dunn returned to his seat on the coach bench.

Chris Lak smiled: "Are you ready to change?"

"No, just in case. I don't expect Viduka to score in front, and his role is not to score. He is a nail, nailed to Barcelona's defense, so that they dare not act rashly. But if I want to make a change, he is the only one who can change."

Chris Lak nodded to express understanding of Dunn's thoughts.

The forest team's midfield and backcourt are almost unable to move, because the defensive system is fairly well organized, and if players are randomly changed, there is likely to be a loophole for Barcelona to seize.

So if you want to change and make the passive situation less passive, the only place you can move is the stitches.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Anelka who was sitting on the bench. The French striker has been silent since he was replaced. He didn't communicate with others during the intermission. He sat alone in the corner and was very gloomy.

Anelka is actually a good counterattack. If he is not a starter, then he should be Dunn's first consideration at this time. It's a pity... Van der Sar's red card changed the fate of several people.

※※※

Freddie Eastwood was warming up on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the court. All his attention was devoted to the game.

When he was playing for the West Ham youth team, his biggest dream was to play a real professional game and become a real professional player. Later, in the game against the Nottingham Forest youth team, he was kicked and broke his leg. After half a year, his only wish was to play the ball again, for which he went to the amateur team.

Next, the future he had never thought of appeared one by one in his life...

Dunn came to him and became a real professional player. He played in the League of Legends with Sunderland and played a real professional game. In that game, he scored twice and scored the first two goals of his career. Half a year later, the team not only successfully promoted to the Premier League, but also beat Middlesbrough on a penalty kick in the League Cup. As a main player, he won the first championship trophy in his career.

Now... he is warming up on the side of the French Stadium. Will this highly anticipated game be another first in his life?

Now that the team is in a difficult position, Viduka has only one tactical role in the frontcourt-to contain the opposing forces, and it cannot pose a real threat to Barcelona's goal. What is the head coach for warming up himself? He will definitely be replaced. What do you do with him? If the opponent's forces are still constrained, Eastwood believes that strong Viduka can do better.

Obviously, if you play, the head coach must be dissatisfied with the current situation, and there are more requirements for such a score. He hopes to let himself go up and score a goal to truly threaten Barcelona's goal.

What should I do at that time?

Taking advantage of the warm-up time, Eastwood is thinking about how to play to change the situation.

※※※

Although Iniesta's shot did not score, it gave the Barcelona players confidence, and then they launched a more violent offensive against the Forest team's goal.

Deco swung the football across the front of the penalty area, then volleyed with his left foot. Paul Gerrard pressed the football to the ground in a slightly embarrassing manner. Viduka then knocked out Van Bommel after losing the ball in midfield and was shown a yellow card by the referee. Dunn was also dissatisfied with this penalty. Since Van der Sar was sent off with a red card, every time the referee made a penalty that was not conducive to the Forest team, Dunn would yell on the sidelines for a while. This time the slow motion shows that Dunn’s anger makes sense, because Viduka shoveled the ball first...

Next, Iniesta made a straight pass from the middle, Ronaldinho was brought down by Pepe when he broke through, and Barcelona won a free kick at the top of the penalty area. His right kick hit Arteta on the wall and bounced back. Arteta clutched his stomach and fell to the ground. Ronaldinho didn't mean to kick the football out, but volleyed the ball. , This time the football missed the goal.

Then Ronaldinho deceived his defender Zimbanda with a beautiful fake on the left side of the penalty area. This action won him huge cheers from the stands. After breaking through Zimbanda, he kicked a pass. This time goalkeeper Paul Gerrard made another key save-he subconsciously raised his hand to hit the football, missed the predetermined trajectory, and made Eto'o in the middle of the road to save air.

"Paul Gerrard--ah! The key fingertips!"

Barcelona's offensive is not over yet, then Van Bronckhorst was pushed out by Pepe in a cross from the wing, and Deco's long shot was being held firmly by Paul Gerrard.

The rain over Paris stopped, but the wind and rain in front of Nottingham Forest Gate became even worse.

"I can't be beaten so much," Tang En muttered to himself.

Chris Lak knew what Dunn was going to do, he ran directly to the area where the players were warming up and called Eastwood back. Now it is a little time can not afford to delay.

Dunn turned his head to see Eastwood was already standing next to him, and he still didn't react.

Until the gypsy asked him: "Boss, is it my turn to play?"

"Ah... well, yes. Freddie, you come on to replace Viduka with a single arrow... But your mission is different from Viduka. I want you to go up and score as much as possible." Dunn stretched out Index finger, "One, another one, Barcelona will collapse."

Eastwood smiled and nodded, which was exactly as he had predicted.

"I will, boss."

"Go on the field!" Dunn slapped him behind his back and pushed him out.

"Nottingham Forest made adjustments. Coach Dunn replaced Mark Viduka with Freddie Eastwood! This is an offensive substitution! It seems that Tony Dunn is not willing to take the lead. He still wants to To pursue more goals and a bigger score! It's a bold move. In the case of repeated tight defenses, it is the first to make an offensive substitution..."

"This coach has become the focus of people's attention with his crazy and unreasonable words and deeds in England. He once again made us realize this in the Champions League final."

Viduka panted and slapped Eastwood, and Dunn shook hands with him. Eastwood ran on the field to convey specific information about the adjustment to the midfielder. Judging from his gestures, it is to let the midfielder pass low and straight **** as much as possible.

Eastwood's advantage lies in its more comprehensive technology, more flexibility, and average qualities. The speed is not slow, the shooting skills are superb, the consciousness is excellent, and there is a very threatening long shot. Letting him do a single arrow goal is considered to be the best.

Within two minutes of playing, Eastwood grabbed a chance in the frontcourt!

This is really "robbed".

The Forest drove forward with a big foot, and Max pushed the football back to Oleg at the front of his penalty zone. Oleg faced Max to receive the ball, but his stop was a bit big.

The astute Eastwood ran towards Oleg when he saw Max jumping up and preparing for a header. Because Oleg's position is the closest to Max, it is also the most convenient direction for heading. Of course there is Puyol on the other side, but Arteta is not far from that place, and Max is facing Puyol with his back, and it is too dangerous to scratch after the header.

Eastwood's judgment was completely correct. Oleg received the ball, and because he didn't know the situation behind his back, his stop was a little big, and the stop was slightly far away from his body...

When Max saw Eastwood come up, he wanted to loudly remind his teammates that it was too late. Oleg only felt that his body was put on a hand, and then he saw a yellow figure running by!

The ball is broken!

"Nottingham Forest stole the ball in the frontcourt! Eastwood, who just came on the court, grabbed Oleg's ball... his stop was too stupid!"

"Eastwood! The chance of Nottingham Forest—"

Boos from Barcelona fans sounded from the stands, and these voices entangled with the cheers of Nottingham Forest fans.

Max wanted to stretch his foot to block, but let Eastwood dial the ball through. He has entered the penalty area! Puyol rushed from behind and pushed towards Eastwood. Max was unwilling to be swayed just like this, turned around and chased him back.

Goalkeeper Valdes quickly approached the corner to block Eastwood's shooting angle.

There are wolves before and tigers behind, but Eastwood is surprisingly calm. He didn't give the Barcelona players a chance to complete the encirclement, and suddenly kicked and shot from a small angle——

"Shoot!"

Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes reacted very quickly. He jumped up and shot Eastwood's close shot out of the crossbar with a single palm!

"Valdes-he saved the team!"

When he saw Eastwood's shot being thrown out by Valdes, Dunn almost hit the coach's bench with his head in his hands. This is an excellent opportunity. No one thought that the opportunity would come so easily... But it was a pity that I didn't seize it!

"It's a pity! Nottingham Forest didn't expand the score, Barcelona escaped. But it sounded the alarm for them-when they tried to tie the score, Nottingham Forest did not give up on the goal. , They are still eyeing! Tony Dunn wants to score more goals to seal the victory!"
