Godfather Of Champions

Now no matter how Capello decides to "punish" Beckham, the Nottingham Forest Club news about Beckham is over. Beckham is currently a Real Madrid person, and the Forest team is not qualified to dictate how another club treats Beckham.

Dunn decided not to talk about Beckham on any occasion. He didn't want everyone to focus too much on a player who hasn't joined yet. That would be the biggest disrespect for these players now. He didn't want Beckham to have set up enemies in the locker room before he came.

So he tried his best to play down the impact of Beckham joining next season within the team, so that the players should focus all their attention on the current game this season.

During the Christmas season, despite facing a very dense schedule, Nottingham Forest still achieved good results, except for December 11th and 16th, two consecutive league rounds were drawn with Aston Villa and Liverpool. , Several other games have been won. Especially in the final game at the end of the year, Arsenal beat Arsenal 1-0 at home, avenging their away defeat in the first half of the season.

At present, the Forest team has 47 points, ranking third in the league. Above them are Ferguson's Manchester United and Mourinho's Chelsea with 57 points and 51 points. The rise of Manchester United this season broke Mourinho's wishful thinking. After three seasons of silence, Ferguson intends to rejoin the Premier League.

After experiencing the baptism of the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo, who used to only know how to put his head on the wing and show off his fancy footwork, has also matured a lot. He and Rooney form the backbone of Manchester United and are the core figures of Ferguson's future plans.

Another opponent, Chelsea coach Mourinho is not reconciled to being robbed of his throne by Manchester United, but he has to deal with the relationship between the club chairman and the dressing room at the same time, making the Portuguese coach a little tired.

Dunn’s league strategy went well. This season he didn’t want to waste his energy to compete with Manchester United or Chelsea for the league title. He knew how many pounds he had. Now that he can return to the third position in the league, he is very satisfied.

Due to George Wood's return, Albertini was back on the bench. But even if it wasn't because of Wood, he couldn't make it through this dense Christmas schedule. His body is not as good as before.

He now put all his energy into teaching Wood how to master the rhythm of the game and let the team follow his own wishes. It can be seen that Wood is very interested in this. This kid is a person who likes to dominate everything and hates letting others dominate him.

With this mindset, it shows that he is suitable for the core.

Dunn was busy with Beckham during that time, and the whole club seemed to be busy with it. Albertini didn't care, not because he hated Beckham and didn't want David to join the team. But because he has his own business.

A few days after Christmas, he received a call from Galliani.

Since he left AC Milan, the general manager of the Milan club has only called himself once, and this is the second time. The same thing was said twice.

When Albertini announced his retirement after the end of the season last season, Galliani called and conveyed the greetings of President Berlusconi, and then said that before he retired, AC Milan would hold a grand farewell for him. The match ceremony allowed him to end his career gracefully.

The good old man Albertini naturally expressed his gratitude to the Milan club for this care, and did not mention the treatment of him when he was expelled from Milanello by Galliani.

At that time, Galliani patted his chest to ensure that Albertini's farewell match would be a football event, letting Albertini rest assured that everything would be arranged by him.

In a blink of an eye, half a year later, Galliani called to fulfill his promise.

"Demi, I promised you that it would be a football feast. Now is the time to fulfill this promise." Italian bald Galliani said on the phone, "Remember Athens on May 28, 1994 ?"

When Galliani said so, Albertini remembered. It was the final of the European Champions Cup in the 93-94 season. At that time, he was still ACmilan's main player, and together with his teammates, he defeated Barcelona, ​​known as the "Dream Team" 4-0. Won a brilliant championship.

"Of course I remember." Albertini said.

"We will recreate that day for you." Galliani smiled. "Barcelona, ​​is your opponent in the farewell match. How do you feel?"

Albertini was not as excited as Galliani thought. He was even a little surprised when he heard the name-he originally thought that AC Milan would invite Nottingham Forest. After all, the Forest is the team he has played for the longest time outside of AC Milan, and he has achieved the second glory of his career in this team.

Before Albertini could answer, Galliani continued: "The Barcelona veterans played against the AC Milan veterans in the first half. We invited most of the people who participated in the final. This is a footballer’s night. , Marco (Van Basten), Luther (Gullit), Frank (Rijkaard)...All the stars you can think of, they will come because of your call. I am yours An invitation letter issued on behalf of me. As I said-this is a feast."

"Not bad," Albertini said. "Is the time set?"

"January 10."

Albertini thought for a while, there was no league that day, he could indeed participate. "I have no problem, but Mr. Galliani, can I invite one more person to participate? Only as an audience."

"No problem, anyone can." Galliani agreed in a good mood, but soon he regretted it because Albertini wanted to invite no one else, and it was just half a season ago that he lashed out at AC Milan. Look down on Tony Dunn who is too stingy.

"No way, Mr. Galliani?" Albertini asked after hearing no response on the other end of the phone.

"Ah, no... there is no problem, as I said before, you can invite anyone you want. After all, this is your farewell match, you are the master of that day, dear Demi."

During training the next day, Albertini told Dunn about this. Of course, he didn't say that AC Milan didn't think about the Forest team at all. Dunn was very happy to accept this invitation, and did not express any questions about AC Milan's invitation to Barcelona, ​​not Nottingham Forest.

On the one hand, this is in line with the "future" he knows, even though the game is a year late. On the other hand, Dunn also wanted to take this opportunity to participate in that "grand event." It's not common for so many footballers to gather together.

Seeing that Dunn was so happy and looking forward to it, Albertini didn't say anything else.

A few days later, the Italian media began to report about Albertini’s farewell match, introducing fans to the fans who would be attending and what kind of scene it would be, and then began to review Albertini’s career. Take the trouble to evaluate how important Albertini is to AC Milan...

Since it is so important, why did you go? Why didn't you stay? Last season Albertini regained his glory in the Forest team, eliminated Inter Milan and several strong teams, and led a group of boys to the Champions League final. Many Italian media sighed for a while-this is the one that was abandoned by AC Milan because of his age. Dmitrio Albertini?

※※※

Time always flies quickly. The appointed day came in an instant.

Albertini left Nottingham in the morning and returned to Milan. On the one hand, he was preparing for the farewell match in the evening, on the one hand, he met with old friends of the year, and on the other hand, the players union and the Italian Football Association had to entertain him. The former is to thank him for his many years of work in the players union and see Albertini retiring. The latter is to discuss with Albertini his future development after retirement

Albertini used to be the chairman of the Players Union before going abroad. Although he resigned from this position after going abroad, his long-term position in the Players Union allowed him to accumulate deep buys and make friends in Italian football. Very popular.

The Football Association hopes that by hiring Albertini to serve in the Football Association, it can better cooperate with the players. Let Albertini be a bridge for smooth communication between the two sides.

Dunn once persuaded Albertini to stay in the forest team after retiring and start as an assistant coach. On the one hand, he can help Dunn and accumulate coaching experience. But Albertini rejected this proposal because he hoped that his children would grow up in Italy, and the UK would be just a post in no matter what, he was still Italian.

For the reason of "family", Dunn is always unable to convince. He could only say goodbye to Albertini personally.

Albertini returned to Milan early, and he was greeted by the laughter of flowers and friends. It really doesn't look like a farewell match, more like a gathering of old friends who have not seen each other for many years.

Dunn took a flight to Milan after finishing a day of training in the afternoon. He did not have any other arrangements there, that is, as a VIP invited by Albertini, he watched the farewell match in the VIP box of San Siro.

Shania is not in Milan, but in Paris, otherwise, Dunn can take the time to see Shania.

After dinner, Dunn went to the San Siro Stadium alone in a low-key manner. Apart from texting Albertini after arriving in Milan, he didn't make any further contact. Albertini wanted to bring Dunn with him, but he refused. The old fellow Galliani was right in saying that today belongs to Albertini, he is the master tonight.

Dunn didn't want to let himself appear in the reporters' lens.

Because of the recent incident with Beckham, he has been exposed long enough.

Dunn was still wearing sunglasses at night, mixed with the fans who entered the stadium, intending to "hidden in the city."

But he miscalculated.

Galliani's bald head was very conspicuous under the light of the entrance. Seeing Dunn approaching, he had already stretched out his hand in advance with a warm smile on his face: "Mr. Dunn, why don't you tell us if it's here? If I didn’t accidentally see you in the surveillance video, I would really let you in like this."

Because of Albertini's affairs, Dunn has no good feelings for this bald man, but today he is the master and he is the guest. The necessary etiquette is still necessary.

"Hello, Mr. Galliani. I really didn't know that you can speak fluent English." Galliani spoke English, which surprised Dunn, but soon his face was Calm back, "I know very well that in order to prepare for Demi’s farewell match, your club must have done a lot of preparatory work, and it will definitely be very busy tonight. So if it is inconvenient to disturb, I came by myself." Dunn stretched out his hand and the two shook Gripped.

"You are the distinguished guest invited by Demi. If we don't entertain him well, Demi will not be happy. Tonight he is the host of Germany." Galliani pointed to the San Siro stadium behind him.

Since the host insisted on serving Dunn, Dunn did not refuse, and followed Galliani to another channel, which is completely impossible for ordinary fans.

"It leads directly to the box, and you won't be disturbed by those media at all. We all know that Mr. Dunn is tired of being harassed by the media recently?" Galliani chatted with Dunn while leading the way. "By the way, I forgot to congratulate you. The successful signing of Beckham will definitely greatly enhance your club's global influence?"

Galliani calmly satirized Nottingham Forest as a "small country team".

This kind of off-string tone, with Dun En, who likes to treat everyone except his own as imaginary enemies, how could a guy with extremely dark psychology fail to hear it. He chuckled: "Where. We are a small team. We have no background. Even if we buy eleven Beckhams, we can't compare with a giant like AC Milan. AC Milan's glorious history can be memorized... "

"It's really surprising, isn't Mr. Dunn also a fan of AC Milan?" Galliani asked rhetorically with a smile.

"No, I'm used to knowing all the details of each opponent." Dunn stopped and said very seriously, "That way, I can easily defeat them when I meet on the court." He finally countered.

The word "easy" stimulated Galliani, his brows twitched, and there was something unfriendly in his eyes looking at Dun En. Dunn didn't dodge, and looked at each other with Galliani.

This embarrassing situation lasted only a few seconds, and the two laughed at the same time.

"I understand why the Forest team can achieve such excellent results under your leadership. Mr. Tang En, you are an excellent head coach."

"Haha, thanks for the compliment."

"But I don't know if Mr. Tang En is interested in changing the environment in the future?"

Galliani's question made Dunn vigilant, and he smiled and said, "Who knows the future? But to be honest...I don't like being managed."

This is tantamount to rejection. Everyone knows whose AC Milan is AC Milan, not Sacchi, not Capello, not Ancelotti's AC Milan, not even Galliani's AC Milan, but Berlusconi's AC Milan. The English club's set does not apply to Italian teams.

If in AC Milan, Dunn wants to maximize his power, then he will definitely hit his head and break his blood. Because there is a tougher person in the mind-Berlusconi.

"It's a pity." Galliani shrugged.

"I don't think it's a pity. Not all head coaches are suitable for someone with such a wealthy background as AC Milan... If I coach this team, I'm afraid I will be scolded by the media for'lost the dignity of the rich'. ?" Dunn laughed loudly.

While talking and laughing, the two had already reached the door of the box. Galliani opened the door for Dunn. There was no one in this box.

"Your room, Mr. Dunn."

"Thank you, Mr. Galliani, for leading the way." The two spoke politely, and Galliani left. He had more guests to take care of.

The private room is not big. After Dunn sits down, there are still a few seats, and maybe people will come one after another in a while. Dunn doesn't think these actions will remain empty during the game. Edmi's popularity in Italian football, there will be many people who come to join him tonight.

Of course, it is not ruled out that other people take this opportunity to meet big bosses, open up joints, and establish a network of contacts.

These have nothing to do with Dunn, he just came to watch this game, to support Albertini.

This small private room is only part of the VIP stand on the top floor of San Siro, and it is still a bit far from the center. Naturally, it is farther away from those important VIPs.

Dunn believes that the most important position is to be reserved for important people, such as top clubs such as Berlusconi, Leonardo, Galliani, and VIPs invited by ACmilan. He didn't get an invitation to enter that box. Obviously AC Milan was still a little reluctant to call Albertini to invite him. You must know that half a season ago, the two sides were slobbering through the media.

Dunn didn't care, even if he sat with Galliani and Berlusconi, he still didn't want to.

Dunn focused his attention on the Cu stadium. Compared with this luxurious box, he prefers to watch football in the stands like a fan. The fanatical atmosphere made him feel cordial.

The players have not yet played, and fans are taking their seats one after another. But there are already many giant flags with Albertini's heads flying in the stands. Of course, the heads of other Milan stars who have been retired for many years are also indispensable... Red fireworks are even lit up in several corners. This is the symbol of the Italian Football League. Dunn couldn't help laughing when he saw this familiar scene.

Putting aside the story of Albertini being betrayed by his dearest man, it really felt like a holiday.

The TV in the box is playing a special program for Albertini's farewell match made by Italian TV. It is currently a part of reviewing Albertini's brilliant career.

Dunn raised his head and watched TV. He had already watched these scenes in that world, but now watching it live, it still feels very good.

The only pity is that when he saw this program on the Internet before the crossing, the host spoke in Italian without Chinese subtitles. He could not understand anything except watching the screen.

This time, it was still in Italian. He could not understand anything except watching the pictures.

The door behind him was pushed open, and the sound from the corridor came in. These did not interrupt Dun En, he was not interested in the person who was going in. Anyway, I don't have any friends in Italy, it's the same for anyone. So he continued to look up at the TV screen.

The door was quickly closed again.

Except for the Italian from the TV, there was no other sound in the box.

At this time, a nice female voice suddenly rang in Dun En's ear: "Sir, do you need me to translate for you?"

Dunn was taken aback, and was even more surprised when he saw clearly who this woman was lying in his ear and whispering softly.

"Kris!" (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
