Godfather Of Champions

After winning Chelsea, Tony Dunn and his team once again made headlines in the media. After each win, there will be such a treatment, Dunn is used to it.

Reporters gathered outside the Vilford training base, hoping to interview a certain player, or Dunn himself. This time, Dunn did not give the players a "password", but it was not easy for reporters to interview him himself. Except for the routine press conference, he would not confide a word in front of the media.

It stands to reason that after winning Chelsea, he should be in a good mood, but Dunn seems to be in a bad mood.

why?

※※※

"Injuries at critical moments disturb me." In his office, Dunn slapped the team's medical team's report to himself, "Ashley Young has confirmed the truce for at least two weeks, and he is destined to not catch up with Chelsea It’s the second round. I originally thought Pepe could catch up with the most critical match. Now the team doctor told me that they can’t guarantee Pepe’s health... The Brazilian’s injury situation is still very complicated..."

Ashley Young’s injury was confirmed one day after the game, and the doctors conducted a detailed examination of his injured foot. The good news is that the injury is not serious, and there is no need to say goodbye to this season. The bad news is that it will definitely not be able to catch up with Chelsea in the second leg.

Pepe, who was injured in January, has resumed training, and the operation is still going well, but now he can only do basic strength exercises in the gym alone. It is impossible to practice with the whole team without the permission of the team doctor.

There are always many hidden dangers in relying on Kompany and Pikwe to support this central defense line, and Chelsea's loss of goals is the reason. Dunn doesn't believe that luck will always take care of him. If there is a fatal error in the final, it will be too late to regret.

"But didn't Fleming say it? You can play if you want..." Chris Lak said.

"Then you have to risk him getting injured again soon. It will become a stubborn illness in his career and a time bomb in every season. I don't want to bet on Pepe's future." Dunn shook his head.

"But this season we are in a very good situation, and I also think it is the best chance to win the championship... If it is caused by a problem in the back line..." Chris Lak didn't go on, he felt a little ominous to say it.

Dunn didn't say a word, he was also fighting between heaven and man in his heart.

Pepe's injury was not so good, and his physical condition was not in his best condition. If he is allowed to play in the second round against Chelsea, no one can guarantee that he can play 90 minutes in a healthy manner. If you get injured again, the Forest team will lose more than just one player.

On the other hand, this season is a great opportunity for the Forest team. Except for a tasteless League Cup, Dunn has been a coach for four years and has not yet had a championship trophy worthy of it. Although there are always a small number of successful coaches, not every coach can get the championship trophy, but Dunn doesn't want to be a loser, he doesn't want to be the general public, he is special and different.

If Pepe can play, it can add enough stability to the forest team's defense. In the key game, Dunn is still not at ease with Kompany, this little guy is too young...

Looking down at the report in his hand, Dunn frowned.

The joy of beating Chelsea away quickly dissipated, and now the headache is coming.

"Let's continue to observe for a while, then we will talk about it." He sighed.

In the empty gym, there was only the crashing sound of equipment, and Pepe was exercising her leg muscle strength alone. He mechanically repeated the movement of raising his leg and lowering it, staring at the training ground outside the window.

The training seems to be over, and the teammates are walking to the locker room one after another.

In fact, he feels that his body is no longer a problem, but the team doctor just refused to allow him to play ball training, every day in this gym to recover and recover, boring.

He has not been allowed to touch the ball since he was injured in a game against Reading in January. Almost five months have passed since the operation and postoperative recovery. He still doesn't know when he can return to the court. He has had enough of these days.

He once went to team doctor Fleming and asked him when he could play training and games, but Fleming told him that this requires coach Tony Dunn to nod.

All the questions are focused on Dunn, things are simple.

Everyone on the training ground was gone, Pepe finally stopped her mechanical movements. He decided to find the boss now and talk about his injury.

Everyone is working hard for the ideal of the Champions League. He doesn't want to be a spectator at this time.

If the team really won the Champions League in the end, would he have to wear a suit on stage to accept the gold medal? In that case, he might just throw the gold medal directly to the fans.

Pepe just got up when she saw the gym door being pushed open.

Wood walked in with his upper body naked.

Seeing Peppa, Wood was a little surprised.

"Your training time shouldn't be so long..."

Pepe interrupted him: "You can practice, why can't I?"

"But you are hurt..."

"I've been fine for a long time!" Pepe was emotional when he mentioned it, "Look." He sat down again and continued to repeat his mechanical movement.

Amid the constant clawing, his knees were bearing a huge weight, and he moved his calves up and down.

Wood watched quietly until Pepere stopped.

Seeing Pepe sitting in a chair and gasping for breath, Wood walked over and sat on the machine next to him.

"I went to Fleming, and he said that if I can train and play with the ball, I have to agree with the boss. There are few games this season... When I was injured, it was because I heard They said that they were able to catch up with the final battle before they agreed to undergo surgery... Now that the operation is successful, but I am not allowed to train and compete, how can there be such a thing?" Pepe murmured.

Wood set the weight and started his strength training.

For a while in the gym, there was only a creak from the impact of equipment, Pepe sat there panting, and Wood didn't speak.

After a while, Wood stopped and looked at Pepe: "Are you going to find a leader?"

Peppa nodded.

"If he doesn't go again, he will go home." Wood reminded.

Peppa quickly got up and just about to run out, Wood stopped him again: "Can you make the finals?"

Pepe was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to the Champions League final. He shook his head: "The boss has the final say..."

"do you want?"

"No one wants to miss the finals." Pepe said sternly.

Wood nodded: "Go ahead, it's really late."

Pepe thanked Wood and ran out the door, and there was a continuous creak behind him.

※※※

Wood reminded him in time. Dun En and Tang had just left the office door when they saw Pepe running out of breath.

"Have you not returned yet, Pepe?" Dunn was a little surprised.

"May I have a few words with you, boss?" Peppa looked at Dunn and said.

Dunn turned to look at Tang.

"I'm going back first." Tang said goodbye very intriguingly.

When Tang was gone, Tang En reopened the door of the office and invited Pepe in.

"I think I can guess what you want to say to me." After making Pepe sit down on the sofa, Dunn sat down on Zhuoyan, looking at his men and said. "It's a coincidence that we are also discussing your business in the morning. I know you really want to play, and I hope you play early. But the situation is not that simple. The team doctor told me that your body is not fully ready... "

"But I don't think I have any problems at all, boss." Peppa defended. "I have to be physically, am I still not sure about it?"

Seeing Pepe's eagerness, Dunn smiled: "This is not necessarily true, Pepe. The most unclear thing about human beings is their own body... Please believe that my mood is the same as you, we all hope you Play the game early, after all, now is a critical moment. We need your defensive and offensive capabilities."

Pepe looked at Dunn, and Dunn also looked at Pepe, the two looked at each other. Peipei wanted to see sincerity in Dunn's eyes, he saw it.

Dunn said all the truth, he really hoped that Pepe would recover sooner than anyone else, but he couldn't express such thoughts in public, otherwise it would make Kompany feel that he did not receive the respect he deserves.

"I went to ask Fleming, and he said let me come to you, whether I can train and play with the ball depends on your opinion, boss."

Dunn nodded and acknowledged this: "Yes. Whether the players can play, the team doctor can only provide advice, and the decision-making power is with me. But... I hope you know, Pepe, I don't want to ruin your career in a hurry. Career. You are at a critical moment now, we can't rush..."

"But I don't want to miss the Champions League final due to injury, boss." Pepe's attitude is also very firm.

"Nobody thinks, Peppa. I don't want Wood's thing to happen to any of you again. So to be on the safe side, I can't make the decision to let you play easily. What if you get hurt when you play rashly?"

"But the semifinal is also a key game..."

Dunn smiled: "So you were worried about this. There is nothing to worry about. It must be our Nottingham Forest, not Chelsea, who went to Athens. Did you watch the first round of the game?"

Pepe nodded: "I watched it at home."

"Everyone performed so well, how could we be eliminated in the end? I told them that they are not allowed to stop before they have won the Champions League. Now I have to add one sentence-before everyone is here, we Neither will stop. Whether it is you, Ashley Young, or Paul Gerrard, we will not stop until we return to the team. Nottingham Forest is a whole, a team, and we are going to Athens , Of course, the whole team must go to win the championship trophy, and of course the whole team must reach out, no one is missing. So, you don’t think about it, don’t worry, four months of surgery and postoperative recovery The treatment will not be wasted."

Dunn said so, what can Pepe say?

"From tomorrow, you can train with the team." Dunn added. This is what Pepe wants to hear most. He has long been tired of the "training" of exercising in the gym alone.

A smile finally appeared on Pepe's face.

"But I want to remind you, don't hurt yourself during training."

Peppa nodded: "I know, boss."

"Go back and take a break."

"Goodbye, boss."

After receiving the good news, Pepe left happily. Dunn then locked the office door and walked out slowly.

At the gate, he ran into George Wood who had just come out of the shower and changing clothes.

Dunn is no stranger to Wood's practice of adding training to himself after training. In the past, he was afraid that Wood would not be able to handle it, and he was not allowed to practice. Later, it was discovered that the kid Wood was a monster from the outer galaxy, and the additional training had no adverse effect on his body, so it was ignored.

"Oh, George, let's go home together." Dunn waved to Wood and stood at the door waiting for him.

Wood walked over and asked, "He went to find you?"

"Yeah. He wanted to play, but I told him not now."

Hearing Dunn's words, Wood was silent for a while, and then asked: "When will it work?"

"Finals." Dunn smiled.

The two walked out side by side. Dunn suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and asked: "George, how many yellow cards do you have?"

"It was only two short matches before being automatically suspended." Wood said.

Dunn thought for a while. There are two short, one game left, if Wood gets a yellow card in the second round, it will have no effect. If you get two... then it doesn't matter how many cards you have before. It must be a red card.

"Um... be careful." When he thought of this question, Dunn couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Wood had a qualified substitute...

"I know, I will pay attention."

The topic seems unable to continue.

The two walked out of Vilford Lane in silence side by side. Next, Wood was going north and Dunn was going south. The two are going to part ways here.

"George, how is your mother?" Dunn asked suddenly.

Wood nodded: "Very good."

"I haven't visited her for a while..."

"She knew you were busy, so she didn't let me call you."

Dun En rubbed his nose, he wasn't so busy that he didn't even have time to be a guest. "When this season is over, I will take Shania to see her together."

Wood opened his mouth and nodded finally: "I'll tell her."

"Goodbye, George. Take a good rest."

"Goodbye, boss."

After waving goodbye to Wood, Dunn stood alone at the entrance of Vilford Alley in the sunset, looking up to the west, and after enjoying the sunset and the evening scenery with red clouds, he slowly walked home.
