Godfather Of Champions

"Before this round of the league, Manchester United ranked first in the league with 78 points. Chelsea followed with 73 points. Nottingham Forest ranked third with 67 points, 11 points away from the league's first Manchester United. The point difference, the hope of winning can be said to be very slim..."

"Experts analyzed that Nottingham Forest, which is preparing for the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, should abandon this league. Facing Manchester United and away, it is too unwise to go all out to fight."

"If Ferguson's team can beat Nottingham Forest at home, then the Red Devils will be getting closer and closer to another Premier League trophy. Of course, the situation may not necessarily be so clear. In the last round of the league, Manchester United unexpectedly 1: 2 lost to Portsmouth, which allowed Chelsea to reduce the points gap between the two teams to five points. With six rounds left in the league, this point difference is not safe for Manchester United..."

"Therefore, we believe that Manchester United vs. Nottingham Forest, the highlight of this round of the game, will most likely determine the ownership of the final Premier League champion of the season. Nottingham Forest has no hope of winning the league title, but I want to use Tony Dunn’s character , He will definitely get a kick in the excitement."

Before the 33rd round of the Premier League, all kinds of news, news, and rumors about this highlight were flying all over the sky. This is an indispensable conversation resource in social life.

Who can win the championship? Manchester United or Chelsea? What role will Nottingham Forest play in the middle?

※※※

The day after tomorrow was the thirty-third round of the game. Mourinho received a call from his immediate boss, boss Abramovich, as soon as he arrived at the Chelsea training base. On the phone, the rich Russians enthusiastically invited him to a banquet in the evening, and made it very clear that this is not the kind of big banquet that invites many socialites, but a private banquet belonging to the chairman and head coach of the Chelsea club.

Mourinho certainly knows that Abramovich must have a purpose to find him for dinner at this time, and it is mostly related to this year's championship goal. He has known for a long time that since he started taking charge of this team, he has known what his boss has ambitions.

The league champions, the League Cup champions, and the FA Cup champions. For the current upstart Chelsea, he still wears a "nouveau riche" hat. If you want to be recognized by everyone, if you want to be called a real giant, if you want the Chelsea president to be more respected in getting along with the upper-class people in London, Mourinho also needs to get it for his boss A new champion, a champion of the European Champions Cup that Chelsea has never seen before in the 102-year history of the establishment of the team.

Can Mourinho refuse the invitation to dinner from Abramovich?

He never thought of rejecting.

Although he and Abramovich are both unruly characters, but now they have something in common. For example, they are very ambitious, they all know what they want to do, they all need a champion.

At the end of the call, Abramovich asked very concerned about the team's preparations for the Champions League. The thirty-third round of the league was in front of him, but he didn't care, only thinking about the Champions League. The Russians seem to be unable to wait any longer.

Mourinho certainly answered that everything is going smoothly and the morale of the team is high, because the opponent is Nottingham Forest, he does not even need to mobilize.

When he thought that his opponent in the semifinals was Tony Dunn of Nottingham Forest, Mourinho clenched his mobile phone.

Of course we will beat Nottingham Forest and reach the Champions League final, and then no matter who the opponent is standing in front of us, AC Milan or Manchester United. The final champions are Chelsea. Of course, my boss, this championship trophy is not just for you...

At the same time, at the Carrington training base in Manchester, the atmosphere on the training ground was a bit solemn, solemn to the point of depressing. The leader of the Red Devils, Sir Alex Ferguson, had a gloomy face, like the weather above his head at this moment. The usual chat and laughter during training is now gone.

Just kidding, does anyone dare to smile in front of a boss in a bad mood?

Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo have a lively character and love to play treasures today. They are all doing their own training projects honestly and dare not slack in the slightest.

After the last round of the league, Ferguson locked all the players in the visiting team's locker room, completely ignoring the press conference outside and requiring him to deal with it, so he scolded the whole team up and down, adding up their worth. The world's superstars with hundreds of millions of pounds dared not take a breath in front of the angry Ferguson, for fear that they would become the target of hair dryers.

Regarding this paragraph, no news media disclosed it after the game because they did not know what happened. It is destined to be a "secret" that will only be disclosed in the autobiography of a Manchester United player in the future.

Ferguson fully conveyed his anger to the big names with high salaries, letting them understand that in Manchester United Kingdom, his orders are supreme and cannot be violated.

Ferguson had this expression for a whole week.

Like Chelsea, Manchester United is now at a critical moment. After experiencing the trough of three seasons, Manchester United reinvigorated under the leadership of Ferguson and made a comeback. Unexpectedly, in the first year, they would have the opportunity to win the league championship and the Champions League, achieving a double crown. How can such a great opportunity be let go?

Helpless now, Chelsea are chasing too close in the league, and in the Champions League semi-finals, they have to compete with their formidable rivals AC Milan. They are all difficult opponents to deal with.

If Manchester United easily defeated the underdog Portsmouth in the last round of away games, how can they be so nervous now? Being chased by Chelsea is only five points away, and may be overturned at any time.

Looking at the players training on the court with their heads down, he shouted vigorously, "Stay harder for me, bastards! This is your careless debt for the last game!"

Two days later, he will welcome an old friend in the "Dream Theater" Old Trafford, but this old friend is not easy to pass.

Now the comments and analysis on this game are flying all over the world, and he also wants to know how Tony Dunn views this game, whether to go all out or give up preparing for the Champions League?

You have no hope of winning the league championship, Tony. Do you still intervene?

※※※

For almost the entire season, Nottingham Forest did the job of "accompanying the prince to study". Now overnight, they have become "Mr. Key". So at this moment, what is the man who is going to decide the league title, and possibly even the Champions League title?

He was chatting with Albertini at the lush green Vilford training base.

"The season is almost over, Demi. It's almost time to say goodbye. If you can't bear it, don't force it, you can stay and continue to play. I will be able to get a good job in ten minutes with the new contract."

Hearing Dunn's words, Albertini laughed: "Stop kidding me, boss. There is nothing I can't bear to bear. I've played...18 years of high-level professional football, it's time to retire."

"Really, it's a pity... Although I knew that there would be a day, I still can't be treated like normal things when I really arrive." Dunn shrugged, "Have you returned to Italy after retiring?"

"If I miss you, I will come back to Nottingham to see you too, boss."

"Then I want you to go to Milan, anyway, my team always runs around the world. Haha!" Speaking of Milan, Dunn quickly stopped laughing, he asked Albertini. "Demi, you said that you like being a coach the most, and your favorite game is also like a champion football manager... Then can you tell me from the perspective of a coach now, what choice should we make for the game the day after tomorrow? Have you seen those analysis comments?"

Albertini was used to Dunn's whim asking questions, and he nodded. "If I were the head coach... I think I would choose to give up trying my best with Manchester United, engage in rotation, let more main players rest, give bench players a chance to exercise, save energy, avoid injury, and get one. I'm very satisfied when I divide it."

He said, Dunn nodded, and when he finished speaking, Dunn focused his head again. "You are right and absolutely correct. Generally speaking, we should do this. Let me ask you again, in the semi-finals between AC Milan and Manchester United, who do you think will reach the final?"

Albertini considered this question for a long time before hesitatingly said: "I'm not sure...I think the two teams are evenly matched. Everyone has a chance to reach the finals, and it is reasonable to win the championship trophy."

Dunn smiled: "Then I will ask another way-who do you want to enter the finals?"

This time, Albertini replied almost at the same time Dunn raised the question: "AC Milan."

"You think the same as mine, Demi."

Albertini felt strange: "I remember the boss is not a Milan fan."

"Yes, of course I am not. But I prefer to let them go to the final, not Manchester United."

"You have a good personal relationship with Ferguson..."

"This has nothing to do with personal friendship. I think AC Milan's entry into the final is better for us. Demi, remember that I once promised to give you a truly exciting and truly unforgettable career farewell match?" Dunn Turning to look at Albertini and smiling, he saw that Albertini's expression was undergoing the change he wanted to see.

"AC Milan must make it to the final. They have to make it to the final. Demi, that's the farewell match I gave you. I hope you like it." After saying this, he looked down at his watch and said to Albertini: " The rest time is over, go to train."

Patting Albertini who was still in a daze, Dunn turned and walked towards his coaching staff.

"Guys, the situation in the league is very favorable for us now." Walking to the coaching staff, he opened his arms. "Chelsea and Manchester United both have a chance to win the league title, and at the same time make it to the Champions League final, and then work hard to win a double crown that can rival the legend. How many people will refuse this temptation?"

In the eyes of the coaches, Dunn smiled like a demon at this time, with a pair of black wings behind him spreading out, blocking the sunlight in front of them.

A day later, the coach of the Nottingham Forest team arrived at the hotel where they were staying in Manchester. At the entrance of the hotel, Dunn, who was surrounded by reporters, reiterated that the Forest team’s goal this season is the European stadium. As for the ranking of the domestic league, as long as the top four can be guaranteed at the end, he will be very satisfied with the qualification for the Champions League next season. Up.

"...If I could meet Mr. Ferguson in the Champions League final, I would not be polite."

His last words gave reporters unlimited space for reverie. First, he said that he would not do his best in this game; second, he has completely ignored his semi-final opponent Mourinho’s Chelsea; third, he has great confidence in winning the Champions League. Strong.

"Should I believe what he said?" Queiroz looked at Dunn in the photo and asked his boss Ferguson. "Generally speaking, it is reasonable and almost certain to give up an unimportant game before there is a more important game..."

"But that's only in general..." Ferguson murmured while rubbing his chin in the boss chair.

In fact, he was not sure. This kid Don En feels very complicated for him. Sometimes you feel that he is so sincere, and you can't wait to take out his heart for you to see. Sometimes it makes people think that he is full of lies, and a word or a sentence cannot be trusted.

Queiroz wanted to persuade the boss to accept his idea: "I think no matter how you analyze it, Dunn should temporarily abandon the small bread before there is a bigger pie. Otherwise, with his appetite, he cannot eat it at the same time A piece of bread and a large piece of pie."

"What you said makes sense, Carlos." Ferguson nodded, "but I always have a worry..."

"Jazz, are you worried about AC Milan? That is indeed a difficult enemy to deal with, especially this season, their Kaka state is very good..."

AC Milan?

Ferguson thought of this team. This situation is indeed very complicated. The league champion Ferguson does not want to lose anyway, especially to Mourinho. At the same time, he also very much hopes to get the second Champions League trophy in his coaching career, to become comparable to Manchester United club history...No, to become an important weight comparable to the legends in the history of English football.

Mark Busby, Bill Shankly, Brian Clough, Bob Pasley... the names that shine with stars can be put together with them, and they will be mentioned again and again in the future. Ferguson's coaching career has no regrets.

Ferguson woke up from contemplation. He looked at Queiroz and said: "Of course you can't lose the league title, and I want to win the Champions League. Regardless of AC Milan's opponents, I think Nottingham Forest is definitely not our casual The opponents that can be defeated, even if they are only half of the main force. Let our people go all out."

Old Trafford home team changing room before the game.

Ferguson is already changing his jerseys, and the Manchester United players who are ready to play are pacing back and forth, roaring loudly, making them nervous: "...think of your last league round of Portsmouth's shit-like performance! If among you Someone is already proud of this, and you can still do this in this game. If you feel that losing to Portsmouth is your shame, then this game will give me all my energy to defeat this opponent!"

Half an hour ago, he had already got the list of appearances in Nottingham Forest. The results proved that his caution was justified. Tony Dunn sent the strongest lineup he could currently send to play this game that was "insignificant" to him.

Sure enough, he is a difficult "old friend"...

"Take Nottingham Forest and let yourselves relax before the Champions League semi-finals. Otherwise...none of us should think about it! Tear them to pieces for me!"

In the visiting team locker room.

Unlike Ferguson's impassionedness, Dunn had a relaxed face with a smile.

"Guys, if anyone among you wonders why I ask you to go all out to win this game, you can raise your hand and ask questions now."

Of course no one will raise their hands. Dunn was very satisfied with this. The players must have doubts in their hearts, but they chose to trust themselves as the head coach.

"To be honest, we have no chance to compete for the league championship this season, which is different from last season. This season we put more energy into the Champions League game, and this is the price. Now we have to look at others for one The championship fights to death and life. For me who is used to being the protagonist, this is really cruel..."

Someone in the locker room laughed at the pretense of his head coach. Of course those who dare to laugh are those who are not afraid of death, such as Ribery and Eastwood...

"But are we going to become victors and step on the throne like this and put on the stepping stones and corpses before putting on the laurel crown? They walked up all the way, the red carpet was not dyed by dye, it was the blood of their opponents! I don't want to let myself His blood appeared on it. Do you think?"

"I don't want to, boss!"

"No one wants to!"

"A ghost is willing!"

A group of people roared, they were waiting for the head coach to ask.

"Very good! We are different from the losers who have fallen to the ground, the blood is drained, and the bodies are cold! We have goals that are more pursued than this little throne. We can't die here. We It's a **** mystery! Come and go without a trace, see who is not pleasing to the eye, just come behind whose ass!" Dunn slapped his palm hard, "Someone thought he was going to win? Let's tell them this idea. How childish! We can't get it, and others don't want to get it easily!"

※※※

Ninety minutes later, in the "Dream Theater" at Old Trafford Stadium, where the whole game was noisy, the audience has not retired, but the drama has ended.

"Dream Theater, Dream Theater, really is a good place for directors." Dun En stood on the sidelines and applauded, and said to Tang who was standing next to him, "Everyone said this is the stage for the actors, I think this is the director. Stage."

Beside him, on the distant stand, stood a huge electronic big screen. The score above is striking:

0: 2.

In international practice, the home team scores first and the away team scores behind.

"It's incredible... Nottingham Forest beat Manchester United 2-0 away! Although the game did not look as easy as the score, anyway, it was Tony Dunn who laughed after ninety minutes, not Allier. Sir Alex Ferguson! Now, when Chelsea has not yet played, the two sides are still only five points away!" The TV commentator was making comments on the game. "Both sides have done their best. Unfortunately, Manchester United's luck is a little bit worse. They had a chance to change the situation on the court..."

What's the use of these now?

The game is over.

After applauding the players on the field, Dunn turned and walked to the Manchester United coaching bench.

At the same time, Ferguson was walking towards him. The two met in the middle position.

Ferguson looked very ugly, and Dunn thought that those poor Manchester United players would have to suffer again when they went back. Losing two games in a row, at this critical moment, is a big problem. If you don't handle it well, maybe Manchester United has worked hard for a season this season and the league championship finally flew to Mourinho's hands.

The two held their hands together, and Dunn had a faint smile on his face. He didn't want to let himself be too proud, which angered Ferguson. Don't do this kind of hurtful and unfavorable things.

Ferguson spoke first: "I gave you a pistol and a bullet. If you don't think it is too few, I will give you another one. I didn't expect you to shoot me all."

Dunn smiled: "I told my players that your head coach is someone who doesn't give up at any time. The same is true for this game. I can't let them see me give up."

"Give up? Even if you win this game, what have you won? There is no change in the ranking and there is no guarantee that you can beat Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals."

"In the first half of the season, your team won my team on my chassis. Now, I won back and we are even."

Ferguson was a little surprised at this answer. "You are really a grudge, Mr. Dunn."

"The media sometimes doesn't wrong people."

Ferguson was about to leave. He let go of Dunn's hand and said: "Last word. If I were to meet you in the Champions League final, I would not be polite this time."

Dunn waved his hand, watched Ferguson leave, and then whispered: "We won't meet, Sir Alex. A safe champion or an uncertain champion, which one do you want?"

Back to the dressing room, Dunn shouted to the cheerful players: "You did a great job, guys! Now we can go to Athens without any worries!"

On the second night after Manchester United lost to Nottingham Forest, Mourinho's Chelsea defeated West Ham 4-1 in an away game. As a result, Manchester United remained unchanged for 78 points, and Chelsea's points have risen to 76 points. Now they are only two points away from the league's top spot, and one goal can turn the entire Premier League structure upside down.

It's like a big chunk of fat hanging in front of you. Who can resist this temptation?

League champions, Champions Cup champions...Double crowns!

Get rid of the nouveau riche's hat, become a real giant, and make Chelsea reborn.

Just an hour after the game ended, Mourinho received a congratulatory call from his boss, Mr. Abramovich. He congratulated the team on their victory in this game, congratulated the team on catching up with Manchester United in the league standings, and also invited Mourinho to lunch on his private yacht at noon the next day, and If time is time, have afternoon tea together.

Before ending the call, the Russian tycoon asked by the way how likely it is for Chelsea to win the double crown this season...

PS, after a few days of medicine and injections, the symptoms on the legs have alleviated a lot. After going to the hospital for a review, I re-prescribed some medicines, and I have to continue treatment when I come back. Three days later, I still have to go to the hospital for review, and the doctor said to keep it under observation.
