Godfather Of Champions

The development of the matter is very in line with Dunn's wishes.

On the second day, the major media were hyping the Tony Dunn coach and the Sun reporters at the press conference. The three players’ prostitution incident was completely ignored...

Even the Sun newspaper themselves were hyping up this matter. Of course, they wouldn't say anything good about Dun En. They described Dun En as a person who was unreasonable, harassed, uttered foul language, and had no education at all.

This kind of description is really lack of creativity, they have used Dun En before. So for this kind of evaluation, Dunn didn't care at all. It doesn't matter if the whole world thinks that he is the incarnation of Satan with horns on his head.

He was very happy to see that no one cared about what the three players did in the red light district.

Now the focus of the media hype is on him, but it gives the team the peace that it needs most.

The Amsterdam Invitational has a history of 31 years and has held 26 sessions so far. Because of the long history and the high standards of the invited teams, it has the reputation of "Europe's No. 1 Invitational". Even so, the warm-up match is still a warm-up match. Dunn does not value what the team can achieve in this invitational tournament. He pays more attention to the team's state. This is a great opportunity to test their training results during this period. .

The game between Nottingham Forest and Porto was the second game. In the first game, Ajax drew with Inter Milan 1:1. Adriano continued his poor state of not scoring goals in the World Cup.

In this game, Dunn did not use the parallel position 442 they were best at in the previous two seasons, but played 451, specifically 4411.

Van Nistelrooy, as a striker, is alone at the forefront, and the "1" behind him is Van der Vaart. His position is between the front midfielder and the shadow striker. Dunn's special confession to him is how long to let him shoot.

The "4" behind him and the lineup of the Forest team last season have also changed.

Regardless of how Dun En distracted the media at the press conference yesterday, how loudly he excused his subordinates, his arrangement today still exposed the side of this incident. Ashley Young did not appear in the right midfielder position. Another right midfielder Alan Lennon was also not present. The starter was Chinese player Sun Jihai.

Sun Jihai is really a very good panacea. He can play right back, right midfielder and midfielder.

It was not Ribery who started the left midfielder, but Petrov.

The two midfielders are the combination of last season-George Wood and Mikel Arteta.

The defensive line has not changed from last season's expectations: central defenders Pepe and Pique, left defender Leighton Barnes, right defender Zimbunda, goalkeeper Van der Sar.

All the players except Ashley Young, Alan Lennon and Gareth Bale sat on the bench.

Dunn drew the starting lineup on the tactical board, and after explaining the specific tactics, he made the final instructions: "Two requirements." He stretched out two fingers, "First, don't get hurt. Second, don't get hurt. Show your abilities as much as you like under the premise."

Sometimes I think about it seriously, many things in this world are very interesting.

Porto is the third strong Portuguese team to play against Nottingham Forest in three years. Dunn’s team seems to have a special affinity with Portugal.

First Benfica, then Sporting Lisbon, then Porto.

And now Pepe, the defense general of the Forest team, was bought from Porto. Porto is the team that Dunn’s rival Mourinho has coached and is famous in Europe.

After Mourinho's departure, Porto may be able to continue to dominate in Portugal, but it is not so easy to maintain her position in European football.

Today's Amsterdam Invitational is the match between the European football kings three years ago and the current upstarts.

The strength of the two teams is no longer on the same level.

The Forest team scored two goals in the first half, basically securing the victory.

After receiving Petrov’s cross, Van Nistelrooy stabbed the ball five meters in front of the goal, continuing his good form in warm-up matches and training, and once again proved that he was definitely not leaving Manchester United because of a decline in form or These nonsense about getting older.

"Nottingham Forest scored! Van Nistelrooy and Petrov, a tacit performance between the two new players!"

Dunn stood up from his seat and applauded the hall. The goal is certainly worthy of joy, but what makes him happy is the tacit understanding the team showed before the goal:

After Arteta got the ball, he passed it to Van der Vaart, who was facing away from the goal. Van der Vaart, without a chance to turn around and shoot, was very clever to pass the football to Pietro who was on the wing at high speed. Then, Petrov forced a breakthrough by speed and then passed. Van Nistelrooy’s instincts as a world-class shooter were fully revealed at this moment. After seeing the opponent's defender pressing harder, he first rushed forward and tried to respond. He suddenly braked and retreated in the middle of the race. Being fooled, he also turned and retreated. At this moment, Van Nistelrooy had a brush with the opponent-he suddenly started to jump in again! After these two fights of wit, there was no Porto defender by his side, and he easily scored after receiving the ball.

Van der Vaart showed a valuable side in this attack. That is, in the absence of a chance to shoot, he will distribute the football to a better-positioned teammate in time instead of forcibly turning around and seeking a shot.

Dunn saw all this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He likes such a player. If Van der Vaart is the kind of person who sacrifices the interests of the team for his own goal, Dunn will abandon him without hesitation, even if he just spent four million pounds for this and promised a big deal. A good future.

The second ball came more easily. Without those complicated transfers, Arteta’s sudden dribbling caught the attention of the Porto player. When everyone focused on the Spanish player, he The football was crossed to Van der Vaart. Then the former Ajax player took a long shot in this former home field to the cheering of countless Ajax fans!

The football roared past Porto's defenses and blasted into the goal!

"Raphael van der Vaart-for him, this is really the perfect farewell and freshman! He bid farewell to Ajax with his best scoring method, and proved his all-around strength to the new club! Ajak The 23rd of Sis became the 23rd of Nottingham Forest. Good luck, Raphael!" the Dutch commentator shouted from the commentary.

During the intermission, Dunn analyzed two goals for the team. For the first goal, he praised the team, and for the second goal, he praised Van der Vaart who scored and Alte who assisted the opponent. tower.

"Guys, do you remember what others said about us a month ago?'This is a strong team', and now I am glad you have proved it. Keep up the second half!"

Next, Dunn changed five people in one breath, ran out of all five substitutions during the intermission, and the team's formation changed back to the 442 they were best at last season...just a slight difference.

Van Nistelrooy, who scored the goal, was replaced, Dunn sent Bendtner to play center, Eastwood replaced Arteta, the team's midfield became a diamond position, and Ribery replaced Sun Jihai, go to the right midfielder, Petrov's position remains unchanged.

The central defender replaced Dunn for Pique and Kompany.

Five substitutions in exchange for a big face change for the team.

In the first half, Dunn was experimenting with more tactical possibilities, and this tactic in the second half may be used more in the new season. Of course, the lineup will not be the same as it is now...

After the second half, the Forest team changed their offensive momentum in the first half and switched to defense.

Dunn is still experimenting and adjusting tactics. He wants to see what tactics should be used in different situations and how the team performs.

Although everyone does not want to say one thing, they all know it well. Who is the direct beneficiary of Dunn's snubbing of Anelka? It was Eastwood who missed most games last season due to injury.

His first comeback battle was amazing, but then he fell into calm again. For nine months, his condition was affected by repeated injuries from two operations.

Now that there is no Anelka occupying the main position, Dunn can justifiably give Eastwood more opportunities to get him back into the game.

Dunn did not say this to him, but he knew that Eastwood must know in his heart that this was his opportunity, he must seize it, or he would be eliminated-even if the boss kept him in the team, he would Will not agree to live that kind of life.

Eastwood must prove that Coach Dunn is right to abandon Anelka, because he is still available as a forward.

As a forward, what is the best way to prove that you are not old?

"Its_GOOOOOOAL——Freddy Eastwood! What a nostalgic name... He scored! Nottingham Forest leads Porto by three goals!"

Dunn jumped from the bench, and Eastwood did not live up to his expectations.

After the goal, Eastwood ran to Dunn and hugged him tightly.

Of course, this ball must be dedicated to coach Tony Dunn, who has always supported him, trusting him and waiting for a chance to give him a freshman.

The teammates all rushed to celebrate Eastwood's goal, only Anelka sat on the bench without getting up.

"...For you, I **** let my favorite player sit on the bench!"

In his anger, Anelka could still remember the words that Dun En roared clearly.

Now, you finally don’t have to let your favorite player sit on the bench...

Porto scored a face-saving goal with a long shot from young player Anderson at the last minute.

Through this game, everyone realized what the strength of the forest team is now. In the press conference after the game, the Portuguese media no longer called it an "upset" with the result of the Forest team's victory over Porto. As opponents, they recognized the current strength and status of the Forest team-this is indeed true. It's a strong team.

Just kidding, if a team with Van Nistelrooy, Van der Vaart, Van der Sar, Ribery, Wood, etc. is still called a dark horse, what does a real strong team look like?

※※※

A day later, the Forest team ushered in the last opponent of the Invitational-host Ajax on this court.

In this game, Dunn unexpectedly started with a substitute player.

He is well aware of the lack of substitutes for his team, so he seized every opportunity to give them the opportunity to play and exercise. Even in the invitational tournament where he hopes to compete for the championship, he only considers how to make his team get a comprehensive exercise, not A trophy for an invitational tournament.

As a result, the starting goalkeeper is Paul Gerrard, the starting central defenders are Kompany and Wes Morgan, and the starting midfielder is Sun Jihai. It seems that Dunn is determined to let Sun Jihai's golden oil give full play to its role. Up. Albertini also appeared in the starting lineup, Chris Cummons became the starting right midfielder, Van der Vaart went to the left and became a left midfielder. The forwards are Bendtner and Viduka.

Dunn’s request to Van der Vaart was not to let him move on the left, but to lean towards the middle as much as possible, and then let Leighton Barnes actively assist him.

He referred to Real Madrid's tactics at the most glorious moment of the beginning of this century, intending to test whether it is suitable for the Forest team in actual combat.

Of course, because he punished three people, and these three people have their own important roles in the team's tactical system, so the actual test results must be discounted.

With such a combination of lineup and this tactic, the forest team's performance can be imagined. They lost to host Ajax in this game, the score was 1:2.

At the last moment, Dunn used up four substitutions and finally remembered to send Anelka to the field, but he only had ten minutes left. Anelka could not do anything. He did not enter. The only goal of the Forest was scored by Bendtner.

Because of the loss to Ajax, Nottingham Forest did not win the final championship.

Ajax’s rules are very special. In addition to following the general rules of winning three points, tying one point, and losing zero points, there is also an "offensive encouragement rule" they created and used by more and more invitational tournaments. One goal counts as one point, and the team's points should be the match wins and losses plus points converted into goals.

Nottingham Forest achieved a record of one win and one loss, the game points are three points. Then they scored a total of four goals in the two games, one goal and one point, four points. The sum of the two is the final score of the Forest team this invitational game-seven points.

The championship of this invitational tournament was finally won by Mancini's Inter Milan. They drew and won in two games, accumulating four points, and overwhelming host Ajax by scoring.

Nottingham Forest and Ajax scored seven points, but ranked third because of the outcome. Dunn didn't care about these rankings. The next day after the game, he led the team to end the Dutch training camp and returned to Nottingham.

Time has entered August, and in ten days, the new Premier League season will begin. That was the game that Dunn had to care about.
