Godfather Of Champions

Mourinho said after the game that he was very sorry that Nottingham Forest did not lose, and there was some truth in it. Dunn said he was very dissatisfied with not winning the game, but he had a bit of a hard mouth.

In this situation, a tie at home is actually a good result. After all, they have to put more energy on the Champions League.

After the end of the league with Chelsea, Nottingham Forest ranked sixth in the league with 18 points. Immediately afterwards, it was another Champions League group match.

In the city stadium, the Forest team will usher in Bordeaux, France.

This is not a strong opponent, let alone the home of the Forest team.

Dunn expects that as the visiting team, Bordeaux will definitely shrink the defense in the City Stadium, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack. So he just took this opportunity to see how the emphasis is on controlling the ball.

The Champions League group stage was used by Dunn as a warm-up match for training soldiers. If this matter were known to his opponents, Bordeaux would definitely think that he had suffered a great shame...

The course of the game and Dunn's guess were good. Bordeaux did shrink at the Forest team's home court, obviously counterattack defensively, while the Forest team's possession rate was as high as 68%. The ball possession rate has gone up, but the opportunities created have not increased. Surrounded by the opponents, there is still no chance to send the football to the dangerous zone to form a shot.

Nottingham Forest players have become accustomed to the previous game mode of others attacking and defending themselves. It would be difficult for them to change for a while.

It is impossible for the imaginary tactics to become reality immediately.

Dunn sighed on the coaching bench. It seems that he and the coaching staff still have a long way to go.

In the end, the Forest team only defeated Bordeaux 1-0 at home, the goalkeeper Van Nistelrooy. If you stick to the previous tactics, you will win at least two goals.

When training was resumed the next day, Dunn assembled the team as usual and watched the video of yesterday's game together. At the same time, he and Tang analyzed every detail of the game for everyone. The method of controlling the ball was rarely tried by the Forest team before. Now that it is decided to take this path, Dunn naturally wants everyone to see what path they are going to take. Tang is a master of tactics. With him explaining next to him, everyone is reanalysing the game from the perspective of bystanders. They can clearly know where they are doing well, where they are not doing well, and where there are problems. , What is the specific problem and how to avoid it.

After each game, there will be a "training" to relive the game analysis and solve problems by watching the video. Since Tang raised the first team, he did the specific analysis work, and Tang En was only responsible for supplementing.

All the time in the morning was spent repeatedly watching the game video. No one thinks this is a waste of time, because in the game, players often only know to act according to instinct. Now they re-look at the game they have played from the perspective of bystanders, plus Tang’s analysis on the side, as long as they are not fools, they will I feel that I have benefited a lot.

This kind of training mode was rarely used before. Of course, I watched the game video, but if he insisted on becoming a separate training mode, Dunn might be the first.

Dunn's idea is simple: football is not just a sport to compete with the body, but also to use the brain.

After experiencing the setbacks and troughs of the previous period, Nottingham Forest entered a stable period in the league, and the results of the game were not bad. However, compared with the consecutive wins of the Forest team at the beginning of the league last season, the difference is still obvious.

After the game against Chelsea, the Forest team first defeated Newcastle 1:0 away, and then defeated Bolton 2:0 at home. Then when everyone thought the Forest team was going to move forward at high speed, they lost 1:2 at their home game. To Manchester United.

Although he lost the ball, Dunn was not upset at all.

Because George Wood is back.

After eight bans, like a demon returning from hell, George Wood returned to the top league with his cold expression.

"What have you learned in the reserve team?" Dunn smiled and asked George Wood, who came out of the locker room, on the side of the first team's training field.

"The coach asked me to attack." Wood answered honestly.

Dunn smiled, and it seemed that McPalland had completed his explanation very well.

"how do you feel?"

"Progress...not very fast." Unexpectedly, Wood frowned and shook his head, dissatisfied with his performance.

"Oh why?"

"The opponent is too weak..."

Dunn laughed loudly.

"I can't watch the reserve game so soon?" He tilted his head and looked at Wood, with a smile in his eyes. "But it doesn't matter, you can come back to participate in high-level competitions now. At that time, show what you have learned in front of those powerful opponents, and be sure to startle them all! But... of course, don't be so impulsive. You see, you were banned, the team's performance was unstable, and you didn't get any benefits."

The team's performance is unstable, but it is not entirely due to Wood's suspension. Dunn said so, just hope that Wood will consider the cost of doing so before doing anything, and whether it matches the income.

Wood nodded: "I see, boss."

"Go to train." Dunn waved to the training ground and Wood ran up.

"Hey, George! How do you feel after holding back eight games?!" Ribery exclaimed, causing laughter from his teammates around him.

George didn't answer, and ran up and slapped Ribery on the shoulder. Ribery also grinned and grinned very cooperatively: "Hey, tap it!"

Dunn was very happy to see Wood getting together with everyone, even though he still seemed a little reserved. But this is much better than when he first appeared on the first team.

"How was George in the reserve team, boss." Albertini's voice sounded behind him.

Dunn looked back at him, he had just changed out of the training suit from the locker room.

"He's over there, the coach makes him mainly involved in the offense. But... he said he didn't make much progress."

"Because the opponent is not strong enough?" Albertini quickly guessed the core of the problem.

Dunn nodded. "This kid has a pretty high eye."

"High-level games are a hotbed for the improvement of young players." Albertini said.

Dunn looked at the Italian veteran and felt that he was really his own good helper. He is the most prestigious player among the players. He is responsible for the connection between the coaching staff and the locker room, calming the lost players, and helping to promote the new players... These tasks are all He is doing it. He was a little bit reluctant to leave this person.

"Hi, Demi."

"What's the matter, boss?"

"You have performed very well these past few games."

"Thanks for the compliment, boss."

"Should you... reconsider the decision to retire?" Tang intends to persuade Abertini to give up the idea of ​​retiring after this season. He knows that hope is slim, but he has to try.

Albertini shook his head and rejected Dunn’s proposal without hesitation: "Forgive me, boss. I was thirty-two when I first came to the forest team, and now I am thirty-five. I am old, Tired too."

"Please, please don't say that, Demi. Think about our original goal...forgot? I tell you that the Forest team has a big goal. The UEFA Cup is just a starting point." Dunn is still working on it. The last effort.

Albertini smiled and shook his head: "Of course I didn't forget, Boss. I never doubted your goal. Look at this team now. It's completely different from when I first came. They are all very good. Boy." He looked at his teammates frolicking on the training ground, "Forest's goal is the championship. But I don't think I can wait until..."

He said half of it, and suddenly stopped speaking. Maybe it’s not good to say that. Does it take a long time for the Forest to win the championship?

"Are you afraid you won't be able to wait for that day?" Dunn said it for him.

Albertini did not speak, but silence is tantamount to acquiescence.

"Well, Demi. I give up my plan to persuade you to stay." Tang En said, "However, I have to give you a parting gift."

"What is it?"

"Confidentiality." Dunn played with a child's stuff.

Albertini didn't expect Dunn to say this, he was taken aback and laughed again. "Okay, Boss. I'm waiting for your gift."

After Wood came back, Nottingham Forest's lineup was finally no longer incomplete. The team's performance in the league has slowly and steadily picked up.

George Wood even started to actively participate in the offense in the game. Although the main task is to defend, his contribution to offense is no longer zero.

The Champions League group stage... there is no suspense. The forest team, which has maintained a full victory, has already qualified ahead of schedule after a small 1-0 victory over Bordeaux at home. For the remaining two group matches, Dunn had a substantial rotation and almost changed the entire lineup. He wanted more players to have access to high-level events. The day before the training, he would use his troops for a while.

The situation like that last season cannot happen again.

In an instant, time is getting closer and closer to the end of the year.

During this period, a lot of things have happened in international football. There are some things that Dun En is very familiar with, which is not much different from what he knows, and some things are different because of Dun En's arrival that should not have occurred.

Among these things, some Dunn didn't care, and some Dunn cared very much.

Dunn knows what kind of coach Capello is. What kind of team Real Madrid is, Dunn also knows well. When the rebellious superstars of Real Madrid meet Capello, who is ruling the army with an iron fist, Dunn knows what it will be like.

Ronaldo is on Capello's cleaning list. It is said that he is very close to AC Milan. Some people say that Moratti is thinking about his old feelings and wants Ronnie to return to Inter Milan... Ronaldo, who was swept out by Real Madrid, will be a transfer even if he is down. Red man in the market. Even Forest team marketing manager Alan Adams once asked Dunn excitedly whether he should try to contact Real Madrid, and now they are eager to sell Ronaldo, Ronaldo is also anxious to escape the Bernabeu hell, the transfer fee should not be high.

Dunn agreed with Allen's analysis of the transfer price, but he refused to bring in the Brazilian shooter. Quite simply, he doesn't like players who can't control. Ronaldo is obviously not a good boy who can be obedient under his own hands. So Dunn told Allen that no matter how famous Ronaldo is, no matter how talented he is, no matter how he can score goals, he doesn't want him.

Will Ronaldo compete with me for the boss? I'm so idle...

Another person, Dunn, is very concerned, that is David Beckham. Originally, they were only one-sided people, because Shania, a little girl active in the modeling and fashion industry, they became friends. The world is amazing. With this relationship, Dunn cared more about this person.

Everything seems to be developing according to the written script. No matter how hard Beckham works in training, he won't get Capello's favor. Capello doesn't have a good opinion of those stars whose commercial influence is greater than football influence, such as Ronaldo. He thinks Beckham appeared in Real Madrid only because he could help the club sell a lot of jerseys.

Ever since Beckham took the spicy girl Victoria, more and more people in the world see him like this.

Dunn doesn't think there is anything wrong with Beckham and Capello in this matter. The fault is not on both sides, but on the third party.

Since the Spanish media came to Madrid from Beckham, they have always looked down on him, thinking that he was here to sell jerseys. It is also said that the four empty situations of Real Madrid in the past few years were caused by Beckham alone... As soon as he heard such an ignorant evaluation, Dunn would want to laugh, whether it was in the past or now.

If there is no third-party media to help, will Capello have such a deep misunderstanding of Beckham? In the second half of the league, didn't Capello also recognize his mistakes, trust Beckham again, and then Real Madrid's results began to pick up, pressing Barcelona step by step?

However, Capello was full of knowing Beckham in the second half of the league, not only Capello, Dunn believes that many people re-acquainted Beckham at that time. Dunn suddenly felt that he still had a chance. He failed to persuade Beckham during the last meeting because David still had a little hope for his future at Real Madrid. Now the situation is different. He is worrying about his future.

Capello has placed Beckham on the bench for many consecutive games. That attitude is already obvious, just waiting to find an excuse to clean it up.

The whole world knows that Beckham will definitely leave Real Madrid, and even the club chairman Calderon does not deny this “rumor”. The only suspense is where Beckham, who has left Real Madrid, will choose where to stay.

Back to Manchester United? But Ferguson would not want it.

Or Arsenal? This sounds more like a joke.

Chelsea? The possibility is great, and it is just a possibility.

AC Milan? Inter Milan? Major League Soccer?

There are too many rumors of these transfers, and the stray flowers are gradually becoming charming. Maybe even Beckham didn't know where he was going.

If Dunn does nothing, he believes that Beckham will go to America. Victoria, the woman by his side all day, has a great influence on him. Everyone knows that the woman yearns for the colorful world of Hollywood and hopes that her husband can also develop in the entertainment circle after her husband retires. Long ago, she should have made arrangements for Beckham's future.

Can't let this happen. Dunn decided to call Beckham.

After the call is dialed, it prompts that the user you dialed is turned off.

Is the luck so bad?

Dunn was not reconciled, and after ten minutes, he called again, and this time it passed.

"Hello! Tony." Beckham's voice was a bit loud, not because of his high mood, but because of the noisy surroundings.

Dunn couldn't help frowning as he heard the real motor roar from the earphones. "Hello, David. Where are you and why are you so noisy?"

"Airport, America, I just got off the plane..."

"America!" Dunn couldn't help but exclaimed.
