Godfather Of Champions

Half a week after Dunn arrived in Germany, the much-anticipated Germany World Cup finally opened.

Apart from staying in the next two rooms of the same hotel, Dun En and Tang did not move together most of the time. They were separated from each other whether they were eating or traveling. Dunn followed the people of BBC TV, and Tang was alone. The focus of their work is also different.

Dunn has to move to various cities with the people from BBC 5 because of his contract. He is mainly a guest commentator for the England national team. In addition to the old acquaintance John Mortensen commentator, there is also the former England captain. Alan Shearer, the best striker in the Premier League in ten years.

Of course, Dunn has been familiar with this legendary figure in English football for a long time, but at that time all he saw was his demeanor on the court. Sitting in the broadcast room like this and commenting on the game together still gave Dunn a very special feeling.

Tang acted alone, not following the TV broadcast plan. He mainly goes to those games that are not watched in England, especially those weak teams. He hopes to be able to dig out the pearls and rough stones that Dunn needs from it. Now he doesn't know what the forest team's transfer budget is for the new season, so he can only find the most affordable candidates.

Dunn completely believed in Tang Kanren's vision and ability. After all, there is only one George Wood that he has been trained on his own level, and Michael Dose and Andy Reid were originally trained by Tang who were outstanding among players of the same age.

Dunn believes that the stage where he can play to his fullest is not a scout or an assistant coach or a youth team coach. It is not about discovering and cultivating new talents, but leading a team to the championship. And Tang can form a good complement to him. His almost nitpicking demand for details will make him a very good assistant. When the time comes, in the team's daily training, he will be responsible for specific operations, and Dunn will only be responsible for formulating general directions. And route. The division of labor between the two allows them to perform at their best in the areas they are most familiar with.

BBC5 invited Dunn to serve as a special commentator during this World Cup. Perhaps what he values ​​more is his current popularity. Because of the successive occurrences of incidents that have been hyped by the news media, Tony Dunn, who is the football head coach this season, is very popular. And this star-like situation reached a peak after the European Champions Cup final. After the game, he publicly criticized the referee who enforced the game for being stupid and foolish, and embarrassed UEFA in public at the award ceremony, preventing the heads and brains in charge of European football from coming to the stage.

Since BBC 5 announced that it would invite Dunn as a special guest during the World Cup, it immediately attracted the attention of other major media. Dunn hadn't started work, he had already caught enough eyeballs for his temporary boss.

People are all looking forward to how this native England character coach will make some sparks with John Mortensen, who is famous for his passionate commentary, during his first TV commentary.

"I didn't expect that we would cooperate in this way." At the World Cup in Germany, Mortensen offered his hand after seeing Dunn.

Dunn knew the narrator in front of him, and he also knew that he was a supporter of him. Although he was sometimes as mean to criticize him, he himself was also a mean person, so the two of them felt similar in interest.

"I think Erickson is going to be unlucky." Dunn smiled and shook his hand.

Mortensen laughed: "I still want to be afraid that you are nervous, so I can enlighten you on how to deal with reporters and comment on the game...it seems unnecessary."

Dunn followed him in amusement.

Alan Shearer, a serious person, looked a little strange next to him.

This is a behind-the-scenes episode before the live broadcast of the game. Dunn is still looking forward to his first TV commentary work, and has done his homework seriously. He went to learn about the current situation of England's opponent Paraguay in this game, as if he was studying the opponent as the head coach of England.

This combination of BBC5 is also very reasonable and classic. John Mortensen is a veteran sports commentator in England. His sharp words and passionate commentary style make others like him very much, and those who hate him are extremely annoying. He will serve as the series and coordinator in the game commentary, similar to the host in entertainment shows. Alan Shearer is an active Newcastle player, as well as a former England striker and captain. He will comment on the game from the perspective of players during the game. As the head coach, Tony Dunn naturally analyzes the game based on the tactical adjustments of the head coaches of both sides.

In this way, the audience can understand the game information from all aspects.

The group match between England and Paraguay is the third match of this World Cup.

Dunn is no longer willing to think about the result of a game that happened at the same time in another space. Because that is meaningless for this game, knowing the score of this game in another space, does it help England's performance in this game? Is it possible to ensure that England will not repeat their old problems?

Dunn is not at all optimistic about England's prospects in the World Cup, which has nothing to do with his knowledge of England's performance in this World Cup. The problem of English football is a chronic illness, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Even the one who has not crossed before has never been optimistic about England's prospects in international competitions.

This is a team that has become self-deceiving after being over-publicized by the developed domestic media.

In addition to winning a World Cup at their own door in 1966, as the originator of modern football, is there any commendable achievement for the England team? Have nothing.

The prosperity of the Premier League makes people feel that the strength of the England national team should also be very strong. Although Dunn agrees that the league is the foundation of a country's football level, he does not agree with the brain-disabled practice of equating the league level and the national team level directly. Besides, the prosperity of the Premier League still has a lot of water blown out by the media...

Why are the stars in England always more expensive than the stars of the same level in other countries on the European continent? Why are there so many young talents in England, but not many of them are played out in the end?

All thanks to their well-developed media.

The hype and a series of mature propaganda systems make it easier for England players to be portrayed as great "stars" in the eyes of the public. This is related to the nationality of England and their once glorious history of the sun never set. There are also origins.

Your own is always the best...

This is Dunn’s true thoughts. He believes that the low level of English football — it is a temporary low in the eyes of English people — has nothing to do with the level of the head coach, the real strength of the players, the food cooked by the chef, and alcoholism. It has nothing to do with nature... This is purely a national issue, and there is no solution at all. Perhaps they may have performed well in a certain competition, and with better luck, they can win the championship, but their overall level of improvement is still zero.

Of course, this sounds a bit similar to Chinese football, but no matter how low it is, it is better than the real "zero egg" of Chinese football.

However, Dunn will not express his thoughts in the game commentary. The English people will not allow others to speak ill of them easily, especially on sensitive topics like nationality. Dunn didn't want to be the enemy of the whole people.

Mortensen hoped that he would comment on the game more from the perspective of the head coach, so Dunn kept aiming at Erickson during the live game.

He criticized Erickson's main focus on the use of "double virtue".

Lampard and Gerrard are both the core midfielders of their respective teams. They have performed very well in their respective clubs. It stands to reason that there is no problem in playing the main force in the national team at the same time. But something went wrong. Lampard and Gerrard, who performed well at Chelsea and Liverpool, once arrived in the England national team, as long as they played at the same time, there would be one person who performed sluggishly, or both.

Fools can see that these two men's positions and styles completely overlap. At the same time, playing is not only a waste of waste, but also a bit similar to the meaning of "same pole repulsion". They interfered with each other, and as a result, neither played well.

Why does Eriksson still insist that two people start at the same time? Can't he see the problem? Dunn certainly wouldn't criticize Eriksson for being stupid. He criticized the Swede for too indulging his big-name star.

This is a direct conflict between two coaching concepts. Dunn belongs to the collective above everything else. As long as he is the head coach and a star in his team, players must listen to him. He will never make a decision just because he wants to accommodate a star player. Sacrifice your own tactics.

On the other hand, Eriksson is a more conniving star, relies on big players to decide the game, and prefers the "star effect." This allows him to get along with the players, and his status is not low in the minds of the players. When he has repeatedly fallen into distrust cases with the FA, the players are on his side. In a sense, this can be regarded as a kind of "love". But the price of his fiery relationship with players is sacrificing the competitiveness of the England team in the World Cup.

In the match against Paraguay, Eriksson's team played drowsy with no bright spots under the scorching sun in Frankfurt afternoon.

"...I can't see the hope of England winning this game at all. I don't even know if Eriksson wants to win... Of course he wants to win, but I don't think he wants to win unless he proves it... …Owen has returned from injury and is completely out of shape. Why should he start with Rooney? Crouch is a perfect match for this kind of game. I have coached a tall guy and I understand his ability...Look, I’m right. , Eriksson is substituted, Crouch enters, replaces Owen... Simple and crude, no technical content... I'm sorry, I want to sleep, I scored and called me..."

This is an excerpt from Dunn's comment in the game.

The game was drowsy, Paraguay did not have any threatening offense, nor did England. Both sides seemed to not want to take a more active approach to score goals, just consuming it under the scorching sun. The audience looked drowsy and bored.

Thus, when Beckham used a signature free kick to transfer the football through the head of the Paraguayan team Zhang Gamara, and into the goal, Dunn finally "woke up" in Mortensen's roar.

"Yo, the goal was scored? Or an own goal! Great! Eriksson can take a breath."

The England team won the game with difficulty with the opponent's own goal.

After the game, Dunn spent a lot of space in his post-match commentary articles for Nottingham Evening Post and China's Sports Weekly to describe an interesting thing he found in the game-England goalkeeper David Robinson's big feet When kicking off the ball, I kicked the football directly on the big TV screen hanging in the middle of the stadium, almost unable to play...

This matter made Dunn laughed for a long time in the commentary room at the time, and he was repeating it to his two partners during the intermission. During the commentary, he joked that it was a pity that the football still fell in the end. He really hopes to see that the football does not fall so that the game will not be so dull and boring.

George Wood, who was selected for the first time in England and participated in the World Cup in this game, has been shuttled back and forth between the bench and the warm-up area and did not get even a minute of playing time. This is also normal. After all, the England team is now hoarding too many stars in the midfield. Gerrard and Lampard must be present at the same time, plus the captain Beckham, Joe Cole, Hargreaves... completely none The space for recruit Wood to play.

The problem in this game is not in the midfield defense, but in organizing the offense. Wood going up does not help the team. Dunn didn't criticize Erickson for this decision. It shows that he is not a desperate person who throws dirty water.

After the live broadcast of the game was over, BBC5 received many feedback calls from the audience, most of which criticized Dunn for commenting on the game style. They think that Dunn is not suitable to be a guest commentator at all, because his words are too offensive, with obvious personal feelings, and some even suspect that Dunn is using this kind of job opportunity to vent his personal resentment.

Dunn's response to this was to shrug, he didn't want to explain too much. He is a guest commentator, not an narrator who needs to be objective and neutral at all times. Isn't he here to express his personal views? Others may be afraid of offending people, but Tony Dunn is not.

Of course, he does have some intention to take this opportunity to vent his anger...because he has never liked the coach Eriksson. I feel that he is weak, this is a personality conflict, and there is no way to change it easily.

The BBC also supported him. They know that even if there are more people who hate Dunn’s commentary style, the ratings will definitely increase in the next game. Because those people still want to see what new rhetoric Dun En has to throw out this time, so that they can continue to find faults and call complaints.

People who like him will continue to support him and watch him laugh and curse in front of the TV. People who hate him will also pay attention to him, collect his "criminal evidence", and prepare to bring him down.

In short, this is a character that you cannot ignore whether you like it or hate it.

BBC5 signed a very cost-effective contract. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit WWW.QIDIAN.COM, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
