Godfather Of Champions

At the press conference after the game, as the winner, Dunn received extraordinary attention, while the loser Rijkaard sat next to him and watched him blankly answering the reporters’ questions. Ask questions.

He used to be familiar with this scene, but at the time the person who was answering reporters' questions was himself, and the person sitting next to him with a cold face was Tony Dunn.

That was after the final of the Champions League last season.

At that time, Dunn had just thrown the silver medal for the runner-up. Everyone thought that based on his character, he would definitely not attend the final press conference, which is almost the case. After the press conference began, only Rijkaard was there to answer questions from reporters, and Tony Dunn’s seat was empty. Halfway through the press conference, Tang En suddenly entered the venue, sat in his seat, and watched Rijkaard answer the reporters' questions with a sullen face.

Rijkaard feels that Dunn is very lacklustre, because at the end of the press conference. Generally speaking, as a loser, shouldn't you congratulate the winner? Even if it is against your will, this kind of behavior can reflect your demeanor and win everyone's favor.

Dunn has no such plan. He said very directly that the championship should be given to the team with the best performance, and the team with the best performance is Nottingham Forest. Not only that, but at the end he added: "I regret that Barcelona can only defeat the Nottingham Forest of ten people."

This sentence angered Rijkaard, and it still makes him worry about it to this day. That's why he was always dissatisfied with Tony Dunn. Rijkaard was not a low-key person who liked to dispute with people. If it wasn't for Dunn to insult his team again and again, why bother?

Unexpectedly, in less than a year now, he and Dunn had exchanged positions. The winner became Dunn, and he became the unwilling loser.

This situation...he suddenly understood Dun En's mood at the time--at this moment, he wanted to get away and leave...

It's a pity that he is not Dun En, so he can't do that kind of "unmannered" thing.

Since it cannot be done, I can only continue to accept this "disguised insult" here.

Dunn certainly knew what it was like to be a loser at this moment. While enjoying the media's pursuit, he also snickered in his heart: "This is called Thirty Years of Hedong, Thirty Years of Hexi. Mr. Rijkaard."

In fact, for Barcelona, ​​losing this game from the current perspective may be a disaster. But in the long run, might it be a good thing?

Real Madrid hasn't received any results for several years, and learned from it. In this season, the gold medal coach Capello is invited, and Real Madrid's revival is just around the corner. Barcelona is also experiencing the pain of Real Madrid. The "Dream II Dynasty" as described by the media itself is a malformed product. Can it be called "Dynasty" after winning one Champions League and two league titles?

Dunn doesn't think so. A team really wants to build a dominant dynasty. Such achievements are not enough.

If today’s defeat in this game can calm down the leaders of Barcelona and rethink how the road ahead is going, then this defeat will become a valuable asset in the future. On the contrary...If the Barcelona people can't see this and just focus on the outcome of this game, then there will be a lot of suffering in the future.

It depends on whether Rijkaard and Laporta can realize this-they are walking on the old road of Real Madrid's "Galactic Battleship". What is the ending? Although Dunn has crossed before that, he uses I can think of it on my knees without any suspense.

Sometimes he also finds it strange. Real Madrid’s lessons are right in front of him. Are the top leaders in Barcelona all fools? I can't see it, I'm still leaning on that road desperately. Or is it...the temptation of commercial interests is so great? Let them pursue desperately.

At the beginning, he beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium, which directly led to Florentino's disheartened resignation, and Real Madrid's "Galactic Age" also came to an end. I wonder if this time, can we end Barcelona's illusory "Dream II Dynasty"?

He is looking forward to it.

Finally, a reporter threw the question to Rijkaard. Rijkaard had nothing to say about being eliminated from the Champions League. It is true that he lost to Nottingham Forest. What made him even more uncomfortable was that he was double-killed by the opponent at home and away... He also wanted to be like Dunn, stubbornly refusing to admit defeat.

But if he really did this, wouldn't he also be very demeanor?

The microphones were all placed next to his mouth, everyone's eyes were looking at him, even Tony Dunn next to him was squinting at him, he must say something.

Rijkaard coughed and slowly moved closer to the microphone.

He planned to behave with grace, but when he was about to speak, he heard Dun En's laughter from the side. An anger suddenly rose in my heart.

I lost to you, but it does not mean that I have to accept your insult!

"We lost, there is nothing to say. No one wants to be eliminated. In addition, I am looking forward to the Champions League next season. I really hope Barcelona will draw with Nottingham Forest again."

Having said this, he got up and left the news conference early as a coach for the first time in his life.

Dunn looked at Rijkaard's stubborn back, shrugged and whistled.

Before Rijkaard went out, he told the media who were still a little surprised: "Look, if you say eleven to eleven, Barcelona can't beat Nottingham Forest. I'm not talking big."

Rijkaard, who was just about to go out, suddenly paused, then walked out quickly.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to play a one-man show." Dunn also stood up, "Farewell." He waved his hand and followed Rijkaard out.

※※※

In the next few days, various reports about the game in the media became tumultuous.

Dunn's few words were put in a prominent position as quotations, and the grievances between him and Rijkaard seemed even more irreconcilable with the help of the media.

I don’t know if they will all walk off the coach’s bench one day and bid farewell to football. Will it be possible to sit together for a drink?

He doesn't hate Rijkaard at all, but now they are their own masters. The **** determines the head, where to sit, and naturally considers what things. When he was still a fan, he didn't even dare to think that he would become a rival with one of the three Dutch Musketeers.

Mourinho, Benitez, Ferguson, Wenger, Capello... these people he liked or respected at the beginning have become opponents and enemies. This world is amazing.

Therefore, Rijkaard is not the first enemy in his coaching career, and it will definitely not be the last.

With his annoying character, **** without an enemy.

The only thing that made the Barcelona people happy is that on the night after the game, their arch rival Real Madrid was also eliminated. This news made the Barcelona people who were also eliminated somewhat balanced.

But they don’t know, this is the beginning of Barcelona’s nightmare...

※※※

Well, let's put Barcelona aside, or turn the page of Barcelona, ​​they have become the past tense.

The forest team achieved this major victory, but it does not mean that they can breathe a sigh of relief and start celebrating.

On the way forward, Tony Dunn and his Nottingham Forest have to face more opponents.

Just after the Champions League game with Barcelona, ​​Tony Dunn is about to lead his team to London. Their opponent is not someone else, but another enemy of Dunn-Chelsea led by Mourinho.

Mourinho was a little depressed this season. He wanted to lead the team to defend the league championship for three consecutive years, but he was strongly suppressed by the re-emergence of Manchester United, and has been suppressed in the league standings. Not only that, there is the Nottingham Forest behind, and Mourinho certainly doesn't think that Dunn will kindly let him relax. If he is not careful, he may be caught up by the opponent, and there will be no bones left.

Professional football is so cruel, no matter how well-known a coach you are, if you lead a team with unsatisfactory results, you will soon be forgotten.

With the end of the season approaching, whether it is relegation or championship, it will start to work hard. Dunn knows that this act will be horrible, and he made the best preparations in Nottingham.

Every time he goes to Stanford overseas, he and his team have to face overwhelming boos. I just let Rijkaard and his team taste this taste, and it was my turn to taste it immediately.

Dunn's tactics for the team are very simple-defend. Defensively defend on the away field and hold one point. He doesn't ask for three points, because for his "guest", one point is actually a victory. With eight rounds left in the league, the gap between Chelsea and Manchester United is six points. Only by winning Nottingham Forest can they maintain pressure on Manchester United and hope to come back at the last minute.

What would happen if Mourinho couldn't get three points?

fly into a rage?

Go away with a sullen face?

Dunn is now looking forward to the game with Chelsea, especially looking forward to seeing "old friend" Mourinho.

※※※

Stamford Bridge is full of seats, which is the case every time Chelsea and Nottingham Forest match. Due to the "personal grievance" between the two coaches, the confrontation between the two teams will attract the attention of many media and fans.

They want to see the two head coaches on the court, on the sidelines, in and out of the game. After Ferguson and Wenger, the media are very pleased that the Premier League has returned to such a pair-before they were worried that if Ferguson retires, there will be any gossip about reporting and hype, now don't worry.

Before the game, a reporter unkindly mentioned the embarrassing record to Mourinho-since he coached Chelsea, he has maintained an "unbeatable" record against Tony Dunn's Nottingham Forest.

This made Mourinho very upset, he turned his face dark and tried to refuse to answer this question.

He is not happy, of course, that the media are happy to see, but if he really does not answer this question, the media will not be able to find any valuable information, so I do everything possible to hope that he will answer this question.

Finally pressed, Mourinho said with a gloomy face: "I never cared about those records... Arsenal set a record of forty-nine consecutive unbeaten games. Did they finally win the championship trophy that season? I do not deny that my team has not beaten his team, but you also cannot deny that the league champions of the past two seasons are me Chelsea, not Nottingham Forest. Of course, you can ask this question in another way. Ask Tony Dunn-you ask him why his team can remain unbeaten against Chelsea, but can't win even one championship?"

This is really poisonous, he very cleverly changed the focus of the reporter's attention.

Which is important to keep the unbeaten record or win the championship? A fool can see it.

Pierce Bruce, a fan of Nottingham Forest and a reporter from Nottingham, felt the need to frustrate this man's spirit. He came forward: "But, Mr. Mulinho. You can't deny that being a newly promoted horse and not being previously People's optimistic team coach, Tony Dunn has done well enough in these two seasons..."

Mourinho interrupted him and nodded: "Yes, almost won the league championship, almost won the Champions League... Unfortunately, in my football creed,'almost' equals failure."

Pierce Bruce was speechless. The championship is the only measure of success in professional football. Mourinho insisted on the "championship". For the Forest team, who did not win the championship, it must be admitted that they are lower than Chelsea.

Bruce is not a person who is good at verbal and debating with others, he was defeated a bit angrily.

The matter hadn't been played yet. Mourinho left the interview area after saying this. A few minutes later, the media waited for Dunn, who had just got off the bus.

Someone relayed Mourinho's words to Dunn, hoping to see Dunn's reaction.

Dunn listened carefully to the reporter's report, but nodded and laughed: "Mulinho's words are very interesting. He almost won the league championship and almost won the Champions League. This is a good way for the loser to cover up his failure. Wording. I am very happy to play against Chelsea at this time, because we are fortunate enough for Mr. Mourinho to taste the taste of'almost' winning the league title at the end of the season."

After saying this, he smiled and waved goodbye to the other reporters, and quickly got into the visiting team's locker room.

Bruce looked at Dunn's back, and sighed in his heart: It turns out that there is no need to take action by yourself when dealing with injustices. There is a more powerful role here.

※※※

When the players returned from warming up on the court, Dunn had been waiting in the locker room for a long time.

"Defensive." After everyone calmed down, he clapped his hands. "If we want to fight Chelsea to the death with offense here, believe me, guys, it must be our "dead fight". Let me give you a brief analysis. The situation is that Chelsea are now in desperate need of victory and three points to catch up with Manchester United. With eight rounds left in the league, theoretically they had better win every game, otherwise six points are not a small gap. In this game we just have to draw Chelsea , It must be a big blow for Mourinho. At the same time, defending away is a safe strategy. But if you have a chance to score, don’t let it go." Dunn shook his fingers, "One ball may be Subvert everything. But I want you to keep in mind that under any circumstances, defense is first. First make sure we don't lose the ball, and then consider how to score them!"

As Dunn said in the locker room, Mourinho must win this game. For this reason, he sent the strongest attack lineup at home, Drogba, Shepchenko, Ballack, Lampard... All the offensive players that can be dispatched go into battle.

In response to this situation, Dunn responded with a 451 defensive counterattack lineup.

Five midfielders are used to deal with Chelsea's "world-class" midfielder.

The actual effect was not bad. For most of the game, both sides played a tug of war in the midfield. The forest team's pressing defense and completely shameless rogue play made Chelsea very painful. Errors on both sides are increasing. It is often the Forest team who lost the ball with a mistake. Chelsea immediately got the ball and made another pass error and returned the football.

The Forest team is not afraid of mistakes, but Chelsea can't afford to make mistakes. They are wasting their offensive opportunities.

The game was a mess, and neither side had any high-quality offense. The Forest team did not plan to have any high-quality offense at all, and used a beautiful cooperation to pass the football into the Chelsea goal. Chelsea wanted to play a high-quality offense, but was always prevented by the destructive play of the Forest team at critical moments.

The game time was consumed in this way.

Of course, it is not entirely without chance. Chelsea created three of the most threatening opportunities in the game, especially before the end of the game. After a series of amazing cooperation, Chelsea successfully tore the forest team's defense line. , But Drogba's last kick went above the beam due to too much power. That time, Mourinho almost threw his suit to the ground. After seeing the football flying out, Dunn let out a sigh, leaning on the chair and didn't want to get up. If you let the opponent score at the last minute, your team's 90-minute effort will be wasted.

Ninety minutes later, watching the 0:0 on the scoreboard and listening to the final whistle in his ears, Mourinho's face was as cold as Antarctica.

A little bit like "aftermath", Dunn smiled like spring breeze, he took the initiative to reach out to Mourinho: "My friend, you almost beat us." He deliberately highlighted the "almost" this word. "It's a pity, but almost."

Mourinho didn't want Dunn to be too proud. He also knew that if he had a face of frustration or anger, that **** wanted to see most, so he definitely couldn't let him get his wish.

So he forced a smile: "There are still seven rounds in the league, Mr. Dunn. But one thing is certain, do you want to listen?"

Dunn made a respectful hearing.

"My team still has a chance to compete for the championship, and your team won't even have the opportunity to'almost win the league championship'."

Dunn’s face changed when he said that, but he quickly returned to normal, and smiled at Mourinho: “Then good luck to your team and strive to'almost win the league championship' soon.”

Next, the two ill-faced people released each other's hands at the same time, turned and left the court.

Bruce saw this scene nearby and shook his head slightly. The two of them... (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, the author is supported, and the genuine reading is supported!)
