Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 46: Mr. Koppel, the good guy (below)

The next day, Dunn led the team to the away game.

It's thirty-six rounds of the League. Because of the last loss, the Forest team is now seventh, but they are only four points away from third, and the situation is still not exhausted. The media's scolding was still in his ears, and Dunn turned a deaf ear. However, contrary to himself, he would even read the evaluation of the Forest team in the newspaper published that day to the players after training. Of course, he only picked bad ones.

Walker didn't understand, Dunn told him that he knew it before the game.

Brighton (Brighton) is their opponent in this game, before the team ranked fourth from the bottom in the league, only one point away from the relegation zone. They desperately need a victory.

Perhaps others will think that for the Forest team, this is a tough battle, and the away challenge needs to be relegated to the team, even those giants can't claim victory. But Dunn thinks his team can do it.

If you think that Dunn spends all his thoughts on a woman these days, then you are wrong. He has carefully studied the results of Brighton’s previous eleven rounds, three draws, four losses and four wins, and the results of these three matches are separated. It is rare that there will be several consecutive wins. This shows that this team is very Unstable. In the last round of the league, they won their home games, but this does not mean that this team’s home win rate is high. So far this season, they have only won five games and scored 23. The ball, twenty-eight goals were lost.

No matter from which point Dunn did not believe that his team should lose to such a team. But he has learned well. He described Brighton as terrifying, saying that the away game is hard to play and the Forest team will face a strong challenge from Brighton. He has to be cautious. In an interview, he said that Brighton will definitely get a satisfactory ranking at the end of the season, and that he was a fan of Steve`Coppell when he was a child. Brighton was in Koper There must be a bright future under his leadership...

Actually? Dunn has never seen this man kick a ball. He doesn't even know that there has been such a man in Manchester United history-he is not a die-hard Manchester United fan. As for whether Tony Dunn has seen this man play before, it is not clear. Former England team and Manchester United star Steve Koper retired due to injury at the age of 28 in 1983. When he played for Manchester United, it was one of the darkest years in Manchester United’s history. Still struggling in the second division. The winger made 396 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 72 goals, and 42 appearances for England, scoring seven goals. In his most glorious moment, he was the only option for Manchester United and England on the right.

As for his performance as a head coach, his most glorious moment was when he led Crystal Palace to the FA Cup final of the 8990 season in 1990, but they lost to their former club Manchester United. The next season he led Crystal Palace to win the English Premier League. The third place in the National League (the highest level in England at the time) was the best result in the history of Crystal Palace.

Although Manchester United can be regarded as the most successful team in the history of England after the "Red Army" Liverpool, the excellent players from this excellent team have often achieved horrible results. Manchester United has a tradition of cultivating great players, but there is no soil for cultivating great coaches... It’s really strange that they have the greatest coach of English football in the last two decades, Sir Alex Ferguson, but this coach’s The disciples are not very competitive, even when his assistant coaches the team alone is not very good. Far away is Brian`Kidd, who was trusted by the Jazz at the time. In 1998, Kidd, who assisted Sir Alex Ferguson for seven years, made his first attempt to coach the team independently. But after 44 games, he Was dismissed by Blackburn executives. Recently, there is Portuguese Queiroz. The experience of coaching Real Madrid may be a season that neither he nor Real Madrid fans will ever want to recall. The first five-game losing streak in Real Madrid's 100-year history was born in the hands of this king.

When Dunn was crossing, the former captain of Manchester United, Roy Keane, was coaching in Sunderland, and he was hopeful that he would be promoted to the super. I don't know if the Irishman can change this embarrassing history.

Dunn's bluff is to make Koper and his team think that the Forest team is afraid of them, so he has been very low-key from the beginning of the campaign. As long as the media asked about the game's plan, Dunn would say, "If I can score a point in such a difficult away game, I will be very satisfied", which is the opposite of the team's confidence in the five-game winning streak.

Then in the hotel room, Dunn took the report from the local media in Brighton and read it to Walker.

"Brighton is confident and can't lose a point on the way to relegation!"

"Look at this again-Koper is not afraid of the best coach... Tsk!"

Walker sat on the sofa and asked Dunn: "What do you think? Even the media in Nottingham thinks our game is too tough."

"This is the situation I like most to see, Dess. I wish the whole world would look down upon us... Walker, do you now know why I did it after training?" Dunn said, "Doing that" means Read the bad news in the newspaper to the players. Every time the players hear bad things about them from the reporters and the media, they get angry.

Walker smiled and nodded: "You are too bad, Tony."

"If you are a good person in this world, it usually doesn't end well." The good man card should be issued to the opponent's coach. After defeating him, he held his hand and said to him: "You are such a good person, Coach Koper ." To strengthen the tone, you can repeat the word "good guy" again until the other party's eyes are in tears.

Brighton, the Visdan Stadium, which can accommodate 7,000 people, is full of seats. Brighton's home jersey color is blue and white. At a glance, Dunn thought he had arrived at Argentina's home stadium, but there were a lot fewer people, but the fans' momentum did not lose to the crazy South Americans.

"It's only seven thousand people, there's nothing to be afraid of." Amid the deafening noise, Dunn mumbled and got into the locker room. The players were ready to go, just waiting for him to give orders.

"You were looked down upon by them, they devalued you to nothing, and the whole world does not believe you can win." Dunn shook the newspaper in his hand, "Tell me, guys, what are you going to do?"

Dawson took the lead and stood up, he roared: "Go and beat them!" Then everyone stood up and roared like this.

"Very good..." Dunn, Walker and Bowyer all smiled.

Ninety minutes later, the final whistle of the game finally blew. Pierce Bruce, an intern reporter for the Nottingham Evening Post, who followed the team to interview on the road, shook his head slightly: "It was another satisfactory result, but the process Thrilling competition..."

Brighton fans have a hundred reasons to be dissatisfied with the score of this game, because their team may have a hundred reasons to win the game, but it turned out that Nottingham Forest took away three points.

1:0, the forest team wins! David Johnson, the Jamaican, scored a three-pointer for the team in the 16th minute of the game.

Once he wins, Dunn doesn't have to pretend to be a grandson in front of the media. He was very proud in the press conference after the game. There are few answers, and the words are still very vague, so vague that many reporters can't hear them when they listen to them, and they seem to be indifferent. Only when answering Pierce Bruce’s question did he say a few more words.

Two coaches, one was unwilling to cooperate, the other was a little frustrated because of losing, and they didn't talk much. The press conference ended rashly after only ten minutes. The media were a bit dissatisfied, but what can be done? People don’t want to say, and you can’t force them to say...

When saying goodbye, Dunn suddenly went up and grabbed Koper's hand, and he could finally say the sentence that had been brewing for two days.

"You are a good man, good luck, Mr. Koper. Good man!" He shook his opponent's hand vigorously. After saying this, Steve Koper, who was confused, turned around and disappeared into the sight of everyone.

The forest team that won this game returned to the promotion team, sixth in the league. If this term remains until the end of the league, they can be guaranteed to qualify for the promotion play-off. For the rookie coach Tony Dunn, who took over halfway through the league, this was an excellent result. So after the game, he said that Koper is a good guy. When he needs the most victory and three-pointers, the coach immediately offers his hands. What is not a good guy?

And the result of this game has once again proved-a good kick may not be a good head coach. There is no direct relationship between the level of play and the level of coaching, at least at Old Trafford. , There is never an equal sign between "famous generals" and "famed marshals".
