Godfather Of Champions

"UEFA Press Spokesperson William Gelrard said in an interview with the media this morning that the behavior of Nottingham Forest coach Tony Dunn after accepting the award was very inappropriate and untimely. The day after the match, the previous day, Tony Dunn explained his actions through the media, and believed that after the medals were issued to him, they belonged to his personal belongings, and how to dispose of them was his personal behavior and had nothing to do with UEFA. Mr. Galard said about this. Regrettably, he believes that the medal represents an honor, and it is not appropriate to transfer the medal to someone so recklessly. He hopes that Coach Dunn can set a correct example for his players..."

"Shit role model!" Dunn turned off the TV in angrily. "I hope they will set the right example for the entire European football world!"

A piece of paper in the hands of Evan Dogtyyanyang sitting behind the boss’s table, “This is a fax from UEFA. It is a fine for your'inappropriate evaluation of the referee' after the game-£80,000. . Tony, you may be the coach with the most tickets..."

Dunn paced back and forth in the room, looking a little anxious. "But I can't blame me... I told the truth, and often no one likes to listen to the truth."

"As for the evidence, you have no evidence. Mourinho can also say that his men saw Barcelona officials walking into the referee's lounge... What did you see?" Evan made a calm criticism.

Tang En was silent, he really had no evidence, and his words seemed more like the complaints and unwillingness of a loser.

"Tony. I understand your behavior. If I were you, I might do it... It's just possible. But you can't always think about venting yourself. You make it difficult for Allen to do this." He glanced and sat down. Alan Adams on the other side of the chairman's office.

Dunn stopped and looked at the silent club marketing manager sitting on the sofa.

He knew that because of that incident, Allen must have an opinion on himself. After all, his job is to maintain and shape the new image of the Forest team, and what he did and said at the Champions Cup final award ceremony just destroyed the image he has worked so hard to maintain... In himself, it is estimated that he will not be happy.

This is not the time to be awkward, let alone all of them. He didn't need to show his face, it was UEFA that made him angry, not the people of Nottingham Forest.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Ellen. I didn't think of that before." He scratched his head and apologized to Alan Adams. "You know, my personality is a bit impulsive... Although I have been working hard to exercise restraint, sometimes I still can't control myself. I want you to apologize."

Allen stood up, smiled and shook his head: "Don't be so nervous, Tony. You did cause me a little trouble, but... my job is to deal with these troubles. If there is no trouble, I might not know what to do. . Don't worry about it." He walked over and patted Dunn on the shoulder. "Go to the final next time..."

Dunn took his words: "I won't give out the gold medal easily."

Allen was taken aback for a moment, and after understanding Dunn's meaning, he laughed.

"You can give it to me." He winked at Dun En.

"Think beautiful."

"Tony, this fine... it's still the old rules. The club will pay it for you. Next time, remember, when you want to say something impulsively, go through your brain first." Evan Doggerty raised the ticket in his hand and pointed to it. Refer to your own head.

Dunn raised his hands: "I see... I have deeply reflected on myself."

"In the hotel room?" Evan asked, looking at Dunn.

"I assure you, Evan." Dunn's gaze passed over Evan Doggerty, who was sitting in front of the window, toward the blue sky. "We will have a fresh start."

Just the day after UEFA announced the penalty for Dunn, Nottingham Forest officials also held a press conference to officially announce that they will renew their contract with the team's meritorious coach Tony Dunn.

As a news figure, Dunn’s contract renewal conference was crowded with reporters from all over the world.

This press conference is somewhat of a show, because both parties will sign in front of many reporters on the spot, instead of signing it out and releasing the news.

Some media regard the Forest team choosing this time to release the news of the contract renewal as a protest against UEFA's punishment of Dunn. This is a bit wronged by Nottingham Forest. After all, Dunn originally signed the contract with the club for a three-year period and expired at the end of this year. At this time, it is normal to consider renewal. UEFA's penalty and Nottingham Forest Club's support? That can only be said to be a coincidence.

When the two protagonists, Evan Doggerty and Tony Dunn, appeared in the meeting, the reporters were quiet.

"This is a contract that has been prepared for a long time, and coach Dunn is very satisfied in all aspects." Evan Doggerty went straight to the point. "Before the Champions League final, we have decided to give Coach Dunn a new contract, no matter what the result of the game." He said this, which is equivalent to answering the previous media's question about the announcement of the contract extension with Dunn at this time, and UEFA The punishment has nothing to do with it, it was decided long ago.

"The club is very pleased to see Coach Dunn accepting this contract. After all, from me to ordinary stadium workers, I think Coach Tony Dunn is the most suitable person to lead this team. He brings this old team Here comes a new life, regaining glory, he is the pride of this city..."

Dunn sat aside and listened quietly to Evan's praise of him, without any embarrassment on his face.

"As I said earlier-there is no one better suited to lead Nottingham Forest. So the club offered him an eight-year contract."

This remark caused a commotion on the scene, and everyone did not expect that Nottingham Forest would offer such a long contract. Eight years, after the expiration is 2014! Although it is said that coaching is a long-lived career, it is not uncommon in English football to coach a team for more than two decades, but in today's football, the flow of talents is accelerating and the interests of the first make loyalty a joke. A contract lasts for eight years. Does Nottingham Forest Club really have such confidence in Dunn?

In the noise, Dunn stood up, everyone consciously quieted down, waiting for him to speak.

"I want to thank the club chairman for his trust in me. I love this team and this club. I can't figure out where I can go if I leave here. If possible, I hope that after eight years, I can still I signed with Mr. Chairman for another eight years, eight years later, eight years, until I can’t do it anymore. Yes, that’s what I hoped.”

At such a contract renewal conference, Dunn also put away his usual ridiculous tone and casual expression. He looked very serious, a black suit with a red tie that symbolized the forest team, Dunn rarely wears it so formal.

"I am honored to dedicate my entire coaching career to this great team."

Few reporters here could hear Dun En talking like this, and he felt uncomfortable when he faced the reporter without sarcasm. The reporters always felt a little awkward to see him dressed in such a formal dress and saying very touching words...

Having said this, Dunn sat down with Evan Doggerty under the flashlight, spread out the contract text, and lowered his head to sign.

"... At the time I said in the newspaper that this scene will be a long-remembered moment in the future history of the Forest team. When people refer to today in history, they will definitely say that Nottingham Forest and Tony Down renew their contract for eight years. Like Liverpool’s signing of Bill Shankly, this was a great contract extension. At that time, I was ridiculed by people saying that it was not common sense to compare the great man with the clown..." Later, the famous journalist and biographer Pierce Bruce wrote in the autobiographical novel "Red "Memory" wrote. "Time has proved me correct."

After signing the names, the two stood up and held their hands together in front of the media.

"One piece of news that makes the head coaches of the Premier League teams very unhappy is that Tony Dunn has renewed his contract with Nottingham Forest Club for eight years. He will also fight with his team for eight years." Sports News in the evening. Here, BBC 5 reported this renewal.

"England national team coach Eriksson submitted the England national team squad to FIFA this morning. There is a special thing about this list. There is a person who is both unexpected and not unexpected to be selected for the national team. Nottingham Forest The captain, George Wood was selected by Ericson into the big list and will be taken to Germany. George Wood has not been selected for the national team before. Although he performed well in the club, he did not play for the national team for a minute... …"

"Nottingham Forest has two players selected for the England national team. They are the right assister Ashley Young and the defensive midfielder George Wood. Freddie Eastwood may also appear on this list, but Gypsy He refused the call of the Football Association of England. He chose to play for Wales because his grandfather was born in Wales..."

There is no response to Dunn in the TV news, and now the focus of attention is on the World Cup. The Three Lions will embark on the journey again with the hope of countless English people. The media naturally declared Eriksson’s team the strongest England team in 30 years. Of course, they had four years ago. The same was said in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea...

When Wood saw the news at home, he received a congratulatory call from Tony Down.

"Boy, congratulations. You are now an official member of the England national team!"

"Thank you." Wood's answer surprised Dunn, because his tone sounded calm, neither happy nor excited.

"I'm not in high mood, why? This is something you didn't even think about when you decided to play."

"Should I be happy?" Wood asked back.

"Uh...in theory...yes. Those who are selected for the national team for the first time will regard this day as the most important day in their lives, at least what they say in their autobiography..."

"Am I the main player?"

"You have to ask Eriksson." Dunn shrugged. "I don't count, he is the national team coach. But... Do you want to listen to my advice, George?"

"Ok."

"Whether you are the main force or not, this is not a problem for you to worry about. You only need to train hard. If you are given a chance to play, don't think about anything and perform well. Remember, don't think about'Am I the main force'? Question. Do you remember the first time you played a formal game on behalf of the Forest First Team?"

"remember."

"That's it."

Wood was silent for a while.

There may be another reason why Dunn thought that Wood was not in a high mood: "Hey, aren't you still thinking about the Champions League final?"

Wood acquiesced.

"Ahem... Football matches are like this. There are no regular winning generals, and there are always times of failure... Remember what I said to you in the locker room when you played the youth team and wanted to quit? "

Wood thought for a while and nodded: "I still remember."

"If you lose here, you can win it back there. If you lose in this game, you can win it back in the next game. If you feel unwilling, try to win it back in the future."

"I know."

"One last piece of advice: Whenever, remember that you walked out of Nottingham Forest, don't shame me."

After finishing the call with Dunn, his mother walked into Wood's bedroom.

"Mr. Dunn called?"

Wood nodded and put the phone back on the table.

"Unexpectedly..." Sophia stood at the door, tilting her head to look at her son, "My George will become an England national team player one day."

Wood was embarrassed and looked out the window sideways.

He felt his hands gently wrapped around his waist, and his mother's forehead was resting on his back.

"This back is much wider... George will be shy when he grows up."

"mom……"

"No matter where you are, you have to come on, George."

"Ok."

"Hey, Tang, we need to change the itinerary." After talking to Wood, Dunn went downstairs to find Tang.

"Back to China first?"

Dunn nodded: "We will get busy after the World Cup. I didn't expect this before. We first go back to China, and then go directly from China to Germany."

"when are we leaving?"

"In a few days, wait until my affairs are finished."

Tang nodded and agreed.

Dunn's "things here" are also related to the World Cup.

Originally, he was required to write a ball review for the Nottingham Evening Post during the World Cup.

However, because he successfully "predicted" the major event of the Greek team's victory in the European Cup, he was watched by the larger media during the World Cup.

The BBC hopes to sign a short-term contract with Dunn to serve as their guest commentator during the World Cup. Dunn likes this errand very much. When he watched the game, he always scolded the commentators and commentators for being nonsense, and the bull's head was not right, except for repeating the nonsense that everyone knows and advocating for those players with "inner monologues" "I can't do anything, and I can speak up better than the so-called experts. Now I finally have a way to pass the addiction of the commentators.

Since they are hired, they must be paid. However, Dunn doesn’t care about these little money. After renewing his contract with the club, his annual salary has risen to 2.7 million pounds. Although this figure does not even enter the top five in the Premier League coaching income list, it is very important for traveling from China. For him in the UK, this is not a small amount. Let alone the Chinese, many British people don't make enough of Dunn's income for a whole life.

His initial idea was to take the job even if the BBC didn't pay a penny. However, after speaking to Shania, she drew criticism from Shania.

Shania's opinion is not only to ask for money, but also to raise the price with the BBC. Her reason is that Dunn is now a well-known coach. Although he can say that he doesn't care about money, the salary is directly related to his status. Less money means that people don't value you. The more money, the higher your status. This is the same reason as the model catwalk. The appearance fee of the world's supermodels must be much higher than those of the novices who have just debuted.

Dunn accepted Xian Niya's opinion, what he said now is the coach who led the team to the Champions League final, and can't just let it go.

Therefore, the main job these days is to negotiate specific contracts with the BBC.

Shania wanted her agent to help Tang En out of good intentions, but Tang En politely declined. He didn't want to find an agent for himself, even if it was temporary.

Because of George Wood, he didn't like the agent very much, even though he had no opinion on Shania's agent, but he didn't want to get involved with the agent.

The final negotiation went smoothly. The BBC expressed enough sincerity, and Dunn did not embarrass the other party. The two parties quickly signed the contract. Then the BBC announced that the famous coach Tony Dunn would appear as a special guest in the commentary during the World Cup.

Although he lost in the Champions League final, it seems that Dunn has gained more... The club’s new contract represents trust and encouragement, and the TV contract means fame. George Wood was originally cultivated by him. The kid from now has become one of the twenty-three in England, which proves his vision and coaching level from another angle.

The pain and frustration of failure have become yesterday, and gradually fade away. Now he has to face a brand new future, and he is full of confidence. (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please visit WWW.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
