Godfather Of Champions

Mr. Steve Koper has been looking forward to such a day since his promotion to the Super League.

Two years later, he could finally knock down with Dun En again.

In the summer of 2004, Dunn's Nottingham Forest broke a **** path from the cruel First Division (now the English Champions League) and returned to the long-lost Premier League, and has since embarked on a broad road. Tony Dunn and Nottingham Forest are famous in the world together.

And what is Koper doing at this time? He is still trying his best to rebuild the team and aim to surpass.

Two seasons later, Koper transformed the Reading team to be tougher, with a rough and tenacious style of play. This kind of team is more adaptable to fighting in the Champions League. The team is united and striving to exceed the goal. Finally, in the summer of 2006, the dream came true and the Reading team entered the Premier League!

The players of the Reading team are all tall, and Koper has taken this advantage to the extreme. His team treats every game like a war.

Perhaps Koper would not admit it, but his transformation was indeed affected by Tony Dunn.

While Dunn was afraid that the current Redding style of play was too rough, has he ever thought that this might be caused by him? The influence he brought to the world after he crossed, as he became active, became more and more like threads, and then entangled with each other and became more and more entrenched.

Tang found that Tang En had been frowning slightly since he got on the bus at the hotel.

"What's on your mind?" he asked.

Dunn took a look at his partner, he did have concerns, but he couldn't tell anyone about such concerns. "I'm considering a game with Arsenal." Tang Enqiang smiled.

"Consider the opponent in front of you first. Reading is not easy to deal with."

These words happened to talk about Dun En's thoughts, and he was taken aback.

"I wonder if you underestimated the enemy, Tony?"

The team's starting list has not been announced, but the coaches already know. In this game, Dunn rotated in several positions. The main goalkeeper Van der Sar came on the bench, Paul Girard got the start, Ribery came on the bench and Petrov came on. Bendtner replaced Van Nistelrooy, and Anelka, who had no chance to play, also started.

"Rotation is normal for the current forest team." Dunn shrugged.

"But why did you, who never rotate the main goalkeeper, let Paul start this time?"

This kid's vision is really poisonous. Dun En sighed in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Aren't you complaining that the substitute goalkeeper has too few chances to play, the state is difficult to maintain, and the level cannot be improved? Now the opportunity is here.

This answer is not leaking. Tang couldn't find any questions, but he was still a little strange in his heart. He stopped talking.

"Don't worry, Don." Dunn comforted, "I have played against Koper many times in the First Division. I know he and his team. This game..."

The picture of Cech and Kudicini being unconscious suddenly flashed in Dunn's mind, and his words stopped.

"...No problem."

※※※

"I'm very happy that we can return to this stadium and face this opponent. In the English Champions League, we played against them many times, but not once. The situation is different now. This is our opportunity."

In front of his players, Koper never concealed his "unique interest" in the opponent of Nottingham Forest, so everyone on the team knows how much the head coach is looking forward to this game.

"Nottingham Forest is now a strong team. The guy Dunn said before the season that their goal is to win the Champions League this season. Their goal is ambitious and they don't bother to roll in the mud with a team like us. So, this time In the game we want them to relive their old dreams! Fulham has set a good example, but I think they have not done enough. This game...use our usual style!"

He didn't say the rest, but everyone knew what it meant. The Redding team doesn't care about the technical statistics of fouls, as long as they can play the opponent so that they can't find North, they can pay any price. Victory is the only law of this world.

※※※

At the same time, Dunn was in the locker room, reminding the players over and over again to pay attention to each other's rough fouls, and told them not to take risks if there is no need to fight for some balls.

These words caused laughter in the dressing room.

"Boss, have you had an operation?" Ribery asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Dunn didn't understand what he meant.

"Usually you always scold us as a bitch. How do I think you are more **** today?"

When Ribery finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Usually this joke, Dunn smiled and passed. Dunn couldn't laugh anyhow today.

He stared at Ribery for a while, until everyone stopped laughing.

But he didn't say anything to Ribery, just bowed his head and continued to analyze the Redding team's tactics for everyone.

The relaxed atmosphere of the dressing room suddenly became a bit awkward.

Tang looked at Dun En quietly beside him.

In the end, Dunn didn't remind everyone to pay attention to the other side's rough fouls and small moves. He seemed to accept Ribery's opinion.

The game time is approaching, and Dunn also finished the pre-match arrangement. Then he didn't make any agitating speech, just waved his hand and let everyone out.

Substitute goalkeeper Paul Gerrard was very excited about being able to start, he didn't forget to reach out and pat the top of the door frame when he went out.

Dunn looked at him from behind, but didn't know what to do. He hopes that all his worries are false alarms and the result of his own random thinking.

※※※

"Nottingham Forest and Reading, Tony Dunn and Steve Koper, old acquaintances." The commentator introduced the situation to the audience. "There will be a lot to watch in this game...it will definitely be!"

Dunn sat in the coach's bench, quietly waiting for the game to start.

This is not in line with his habit, he rarely has such a quiet time.

Just five minutes after the game started, Dunn jumped up from his seat, and he finally became active again.

Nottingham Forest scored.

Just like the analysis by the media before the game, Dunn's extensive use of the rotation system in this game was not completely underestimating the enemy, but the difference between Nottingham Forest and Reading, and he will face his old rival, Arsenal. Before, arranging rotation was also the best way to prevent players from exhaustion and injury.

"Nicholas Anelka!" shouted the name of the goalkeeper on the live broadcast. For the home fans of the Forest team, this name has not been heard for some time. After the new season, Anelka sat on the bench, not to mention scoring goals, playing time was gone.

Unexpectedly, for the first time now, he scored a goal for the team in five minutes.

Dunn jumped up to applaud and sat down again, not as excited as before. But at this time he was not worried about the rude Redding, he just didn't want to make Anelka too proud.

"Anelka." Chris Lak, the assistant coach next to him, shook his head and sighed.

Dunn snorted, and Chris Luck didn't say a word. He cast his gaze on the court again. Anelka was still celebrating the goal. He was a little too excited. It seemed that he could score in front of Dunn, which made him relieved.

Things are different, Anelka. No matter how good you are in front of me, don't think about any chances.

※※※

The Forest team scored and Koper's face changed instantly. Originally, he still had a lot of longing for this game, but he was hit in the first five minutes.

Before the game, I told them that everyone should look at their opponents. If the foul is committed, it will be fouled. You are welcome. Can you see how you lost the ball just now? After Anelka forced a breakthrough by speed, none of his own people fouled! Just watched him break into the penalty area and scored!

These bastards!

He got up from his seat.

"Sonker!" He shouted the name of the team's central defender. In fact, these words were to all the players of the Reading team, "Look at what you are doing? Why did the opponent score so easily? Forgot to match. How did I tell you before? Do you still want to win!"

※※※

After Koper roared like this, the Reading team woke up like a dream. Nottingham Forest players soon discovered that they were not so easy to get the ball. Almost as soon as their foot touched the ball, the opponent pounced viciously and broke the ball with both hands and feet. What makes the Forest team players even more dissatisfied is that the referee Riley on duty turned a blind eye to the actions of the Reading team. Some of the Forest team players were pushed down from behind, and the successful steals were all tacitly approved by the referee.

This makes the forest team players particularly angry. The stands also repeatedly booed at the referee Riley.

Dunn was sitting on the coach's bench. This kind of game seemed normal to him. After all, kicking and kicking were completely two concepts.

However, there was a clear sneer on his face, which was given to the referee on duty Riley.

"UEFA hasn't overcast us, are you overcast?" He muttered to himself.

The next game officially entered the "hand-to-hand phase". The Reading team was agitated by the loss of the ball, and Nottingham Forest was angered by their rough fouls, and both sides had a bit of action.

You pushed me, I pushed you, it was normal physical contact in this game.

Riley’s weakness caused the Reading team to become more and more aggressive. At this time, the players of the Forest team remembered that the boss warned them to be careful of the other's rude fouls, and then thought that the next round of the league will be the highlight of Arsenal. No one wants to lose this opportunity to show up in important games. Suddenly, the Forest team faltered.

The Reading team took advantage of the momentum to attack the hinterland of the Forest team, hoping to equalize the score before the end of the first half.

If Sidwell's memory is good, he will definitely not take the ball and force a breakthrough in the middle. But it doesn't matter, his memory will get better soon.

Reading’s midfielder, Steve Sidwell, a member of the England Under-21 national team, decided to go in the middle after receiving a pass from his partner. After all, this is the route that most threatens the opponent’s goal and is the most direct route. of.

The most direct is the most effective!

Sidwell was going to make a strong jump from the middle, and it seemed that he had forgotten someone. This attitude made that person a little unhappy.

Steve Sidwell confirmed that there were no Forest players on the line before he broke through, but after he knocked the football out, suddenly a red figure flashed out and quickly turned and cut in!

When the red figure turned his back to him, he finally saw clearly-13, WOOD.

Sidwell, who had just accelerated, couldn't stop the car and ran into it. He felt that Wood hadn't even shaken, thus separating him from the football.

At that instant, Sidwell's memory suddenly improved. He remembered that in the game against the Forest team two years ago, this kid made himself a big loss. But at that time this kid was still wearing size 33...

Wood, George Wood. The hottest defensive midfielder in England right now, how did I forget him?

Sidwell regretted it was too late, the ball has been lost.

"George Wood! Beautiful card position! When facing George Wood, the mid lane is strong? Sidwell's mind is really confused..."

The booing of the referee finally stopped in the stands. The fans of the home team gave their captain a warm applause.

At critical moments, the captain is always trustworthy.

※※※

Wood relied on his personal performance to resolve a crisis for the Forest team, but he is not a team after all. The predicament facing the forest team has not been resolved.

The Reading team was worried about bullying the Forest team and played more rough and open.

Dunn was worried, and Koppel had the right idea.

Today's Nottingham Forest dare not fight with the rude Reading team. They have too many things to worry about. The next round of the league against Arsenal, the Champions League group stage, the long journey of the whole season, the championship goal... etc. . These are the reasons that make them shy away.

The people in front shrank, and goalkeeper Paul Gerrard was particularly busy. He played high gear and tried to prevent the opponent from breaking his goal. Of course he does not expect that he can steal the position of the main goalkeeper from Van der Sar. He does not know why the head of the game suddenly rotates the position of the goalkeeper. He only knows one thing-the head let himself play. , I must be worthy of these ninety minutes.

"The Reading team's pass... is big, but Hunter is chasing it!"

South Korean midfielder Kim Doo-hyun made an unexpected pass through the center and tore open the forest team's defense. Originally, the forest team's guards didn't take this seriously because, as the commentator said, the pass was a bit too big.

But when they all relaxed, they saw that Redding forward Hunter did not give up, but was chasing after him!

Pique looked back and saw Hunter's high-speed plugging figure and was still nervous, but when he saw Paul Gerrard had attacked and was about to fall to the ground to catch the ball, his heart was relieved.

Although Hunter is still chasing, he absolutely can't get the ball anymore.

Paul Gerrard slid down to the football, and he hooked the football with both hands. One of Reading's offense was over.

Hunter is still rushing forward. At this time, strikers should jump up to avoid the goalkeeper, right? Stephen Hunter didn't. He rushed straight up, and then hit Paul Gerrard's head with his knee...

Everyone—whether in front of the TV or in the audience—sees clearly. Paul Gerrard, who was holding the ball, suddenly raised his head and turned it over. He changed from lying on the ground to lying on his back. He was still holding the football tightly, but the situation seemed to be wrong.

Hunter didn't notice all this. He ran past Paul Gela's head, ran out of the baseline and found that the football was still in the hands of the goalkeeper. So he stopped, spread his hands, and smiled casually in the direction of the camera.

Just as he just finished laughing and turned around, a huge fist suddenly appeared in front of him. Immediately afterwards, before he could react, he felt as if he had been hit by a high-speed heavy truck, flew out, and fell on the advertising board near the bottom line!

This time, the referee Riley's whistle finally sounded. (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!)
