Godfather Of Champions

As the referee blew three whistles representing the end of the game, huge cheers erupted from the city stadium. All the fans of the Forest team stood up from their seats, they raised their arms, waved to the sky, and sang the Forest team anthem loudly.

Although this is not the first time they have reached the Champions League final, they will not have too many such victories.

"We have the opportunity to prove ourselves again and tell the world that last season's final was just an accident. The red of Nottingham Forest will surely become the mainstream color of European football in the future!"

The Nottingham commentator yelled fervently on the radio in the police car.

The young policeman lay on the side of the car door and listened intently, while the old policeman cast his eyes on the city stadium not far in front. There were brilliant lights and cheers.

I really want to be on site at this time...that must feel great!

The intercom on the shoulder made a rustling voice: "...0415, the game is over, the fans will leave the field immediately, pay attention to maintaining order, it is over."

"0415 understand, over."

He recalled the fascinated young man who patted and listened: "Get up to work, young man."

"Ah? Ok..." The young policeman was still reluctant to leave.

Heartbroken Chelsea fans have already begun to leave, and Forest fans still stayed in the stands and sang constantly to celebrate their victory.

Dunn ended his celebration and walked to Mourinho.

This time, Mourinho didn't avoid it, but stood there waiting for Dunn to come and shake hands.

In this regard, Dunn was a little surprised.

He walked to Mourinho and said: "I thought you would turn around and leave."

"If you hope so, I don't mind turning around and leaving now." Mourinho said blankly.

Dunn quickly stretched out his hand: "If you want to leave, please hold your hand first."

Mourinho stretched out his hand sternly, touched Dunn's palm lightly, and immediately separated. After the ceremony after the game, he left the city stadium without looking back. Chelsea's players have hurriedly exited, and now only Forest fans and players are left on the field.

Dunn bid farewell to Mourinho and avoided the chase of the reporters. He went on the court to celebrate the victory with his players.

They ran from under the stand to under the stand, waving their hands to thank the fans.

At first, there was only singing in the stands. Later, a voice gradually sounded, and the singing was interrupted and repeated back and forth. Everyone quickly heard that it was a word.

"Athens!"

Later, the singing gradually disappeared, and this shout became the only voice on and off the court.

Whether it is a fan or a player, even if it is a busy court cleaner, at this moment, they stopped their work and shouted with everyone.

"Athens! Athens! Athens! Athens--!!!"

Outside the stadium, the Chelsea fans who had left the stadium looked back at the small stadium with a little surprise, where the roar of "Athens" can also be clearly heard.

Next to the police car number 0415, the two police officers on duty also looked up, and the stadium surrounded by brilliant lights seemed to be a volcanic crater still emitting heat.

The sound became louder and louder, rushing out of the City Stadium, engulfed by the evening breeze from Sherwood Forest, over the Trent Bridge outside the City Stadium, spreading in all directions, spreading to every corner of Nottingham City.

In bars, in taxis, in the residences of ordinary residents, and in the TV franchise areas of large shopping malls, this sound stirred the hearts of all Forest Team fans, and they couldn't help raising their arms and shouting.

"Athens! Athens! Athens! Athens--!!!"

※※※

On the second day of the sports edition of the Nottingham Evening Post, there was a huge headline that occupies half of the page. The big outrageous headline had only one word--

Athens!

Needless to say, everyone knows that after the fierce battle between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea, it was Nottingham Forest that went to Athens.

This was inspired by Pierce Bruce, but it received surprisingly good results. This issue of the Nottingham Evening Post was sold out just as soon as it hit various newsstands. Compared with those long articles that reported how and how the game last night, this title is more direct to people's hearts, making all Nottingham Forest fans involuntarily recall the passionate night yesterday.

Athens! Athens! Athens! Athens——! !

After getting the newspaper, this voice seemed to echo in his ears again, and people couldn't help but want to raise their arms and shout again.

Real Forest fans do not need to look at other media using words and pictures to describe the game last night. They watched the whole game. Now all they need is to fully express their inner emotions.

When Dunn went out to pick up the newspaper in the morning, the neighbors on this street saw the latest Nottingham Evening Post he had in his hands and shouted to him: "Athens!!!"

Dunn smiled and waved his thanks.

After getting the paper, Dunn turned to the sports version while eating a simple breakfast he made casually. He saw Bruce's creativity and laughed.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Hey, ah, it's Mr. 007 Reporter." Dunn was in a good mood and joked with Pierce Bruce who called.

"Tony, I want you to accept my exclusive interview."

Dunn looked at the headline from this kid in the newspaper, and he nodded: "I'm fine, but are you sure that now is the best time for an interview?"

Bruce didn't understand what Dunn meant, "Ah? Why not? Your team has just reached the Champions League final for the second year in a row. This is not something anyone can do..."

"No, I mean, if you interview me now and send it out tomorrow, in a few weeks, what tricks are you going to think of to continue the speculation?"

"Huh? In a few more weeks?"

"Yes, in a few weeks, after the Champions League final is over, what are you going to do to face the new European champions? Will you have another interview with fried rice, Mr. Reporter?" Dunn simply pried his feet on the table and leaned on the chair. Tearing Bruce on his back.

There was a scream, then fell silent.

Dunn was not in a hurry, took the phone and continued to read his newspaper.

After a while, Bruce's voice rang again on the phone: "Tony, are you so sure that your team can win the championship? What if it fails? Our newspaper always has to prepare two plans..."

"Don't prepare, just a set of winning plans." Dun En's tone is beyond doubt. "If I can't win the Champions League, I will jump straight from the Aegean Sea!"

Bruce froze for a moment: "You're really kidding, Tony..."

"No, I'm serious. You can even publish this sentence in the newspaper and spread it widely to let everyone know me. Tony Dunn promised to jump off the Aegean Sea if he doesn't win the Champions League!" See There was no answer from Bruce, and Dunn added, "If I don't believe me, I can invite all media involved in reporting on the Champions League to move to the beach after the game to witness me jump into the sea."

"Hey, Tony..." Bruce lowered his voice. "Are you crazy?!"

"You are crazy. As a supporter of the Forest team, you have so little confidence in your team."

"It's not that I don't have confidence... It's just that work is work, and feelings belong to feelings. It is the rule to prepare two sets of plans to deal with the two outcomes before the major finals..."

Dunn glanced at the huge headline "Athens" in the newspaper, and shook his head: "Well, I'll give you an idea. You can say to your boss like this: If Nottingham Forest does not win the Champions League, you The plan B of China is to leave most of the blank space in the sports version, and then write it in bold and bold-'Nottingham Forest loses and loses, we have nothing to say'!"

After saying this, he forcibly cut off the phone.

"Bah, baah!" He spit three saliva on the ground. "It's really bad! The game hasn't been played yet, so I think about the reasons for losing. This is the same as every time in Chinese football, when the commentator sees behind, he says, "Even if we lose this time, we can still learn valuable experience. , Summing up the lesson from the failure,'What's the difference? There is no egg!"

After scolding the Chinese football, he cleaned up the tableware briefly, and Dunn got up and went out to knock on Tang's door.

It's time for them to leave. Go to Milan, Italy, watch the semi-finals live and observe your opponents in the finals up close.

"Unexpectedly... In the end, Nottingham Forest made it to the final."

In Milan, after watching the semi-final the day before, Ferguson chatted with his coaching staff after training. Assistant coach Queiroz was a little surprised that the Forest team could eliminate Chelsea. He always looked down on Dunn and his Forest team. , So it’s normal to have this kind of surprise. Perhaps it is because there are many rumors that Dunn may be selected by Ferguson as his successor, which makes him a little bit appalled-he thinks he is the only candidate to succeed Ferguson in charge of the future Manchester United.

"Nothing to be surprised, Carlos." Ferguson said. "It's normal for either of the two teams to enter the finals. Don't look down on the Forest team, or one day you will suffer." He doesn't give Queiroz any face. Ferguson enjoys absolute authority here, and no one dares to violate his will.

Queiroz closed his mouth and said nothing.

Being so reprimanded by Ferguson in front of so many people, he felt very shameless, but he couldn't say anything, he could only hold back his depression in his heart.

Ferguson has no time to care about Queiroz’s mental health. He is still talking to the coaches about last night’s game, because at this time the final opponent has been decided, if Manchester United can enter the final, they will have a battle with the Forest team. .

At that time, no one will have spare energy.

"Defensive counterattack... is really a good way to get results in the competition."

"Perhaps we should fight them defensively in Milan?" someone suggested.

Ferguson glanced at the man.

"Has Manchester United insisted on defending as a training focus for three seasons like Nottingham Forest?"

The crowd shook their heads together after stunned.

"The night is the game, and now we are asking for a defensive counterattack? I saw that it was ourselves that collapsed first. Manchester United's football is what it is like, there is no need to learn from others." Ferguson said arrogantly, he said. There is indeed the confidence to say this. As the founder and guardian of the Red Devils dynasty, Manchester United’s freedom of style and learning from others has become a clown for everyone?

"Okay, continue training!" Ferguson stood up and said to Queiroz, who was silent. "You gave me the video of yesterday's game and the first round of the two teams. After the night's game is over, We will study it carefully."

Queiroz nodded.

"I'm not surprised that Nottingham Forest can make it to the final. I don't think that Tony Dunn looks like an Englishman, but rather an Italian." Ancelotti was surrounded by a large number of reporters in the hotel. Quickly talked about the game that just ended last night.

"Other than that, I have no other opinion." Before the big game, Ancelotti was still very cautious, and he didn't want everyone to focus on another team that had nothing to do with him.

"The night's game? I respect Ferguson, but AC Milan will win in the end."

After finishing the interview in a hurry, Ancelotti got up and walked to the elevator. He wanted to go back to the room to rest for a while. It's just after noon, so take the lunch break to keep your mind sober during the night game.

With a "ding", the elevator door slowly opened in front of him, and he was surprised when he saw someone.

Dunn was chatting with Tang in the elevator, while waiting for the door to open. When the door just opened a crack, he saw the person standing outside.

"Ha." Dunn laughed, "What a coincidence." He said to Tang next to him, "It turns out that this is AC Milan's hotel. I thought they were all living in their own home."

"It's the same for any team, Tony." Tang reminded him, "Before the game, the training ground, the hotel, and the court are three points and one line."

When Ancelotti saw Dunn and his assistant coach chatting and laughing, his face didn't look good.

It wasn't that his meeting with Dun En made him feel uncomfortable. It's because he lives here, but the enemy coach also lives in. Isn't it possible to get a close look at the latest developments of his team?

Seeing the expression on Ancelotti’s face, Dunn quickly raised his hands, regardless of whether the other party could understand it or not, explaining to him in English: "Ah, don’t worry, Mr. Ancelotti. Although I have a good personal relationship with Ferguson , But I’m not a free intelligence agent. This is a complete coincidence... a wonderful coincidence... Hey!"

He just finished speaking, before putting down his hands, suddenly a flower flashed before his eyes, and a white light flashed.

After his eyes returned to normal vision, he saw a photojournalist with digital cameras giving him a thumbs up.

"This posture is good!" the curly-haired male reporter said in crappy English.

Dunn frowned, his face suddenly uglier than Ancelotti.

"FU..." Tang En was about to scold this international lingua franca when he saw that the elevator door in front of him was closing-because no one came in or out, the door closed automatically when the time came.

"...CK!" When the last syllable popped out, the door just closed tightly.

When Tang opened the door again, the photographer had disappeared. And Ancelotti didn't stand at the door waiting for the elevator, maybe he changed to another one.

"Damn!" Dunn scolded in Chinese, "That **** Italian reporter! It's best not to let me see him again!"

"Can you still kill him when you see him?" Tang asked.

"No, I will embarrass him!" Dunn gritted his teeth. "Let's go back, I'm not thinking about shopping anymore!" After speaking, he turned and walked back to the elevator and pressed the floor button.

Tang shook his head behind and ran in.

That night, the second semi-final was held at the San Siro Stadium. In a pouring rain, AC Milan, who played at home, made full use of their home court advantage and launched a violent bombardment against Manchester United.

The 3:1 score represents the final result. According to international practice, the home team is first and the away team is behind.

Ferguson defeated AC Milan in an away game at Manchester United. Kaka scored two goals and scored a goal with Seedorf. And Manchester United only used the opportunity of AC Milan's slack defense at the last moment by Scholes to score a face-saving goal with a long shot.

This game was speculated by the media as a direct contest between the two young talents of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo before the game. It may also be a confrontation to determine who will be the result of the selection of the World Footballer at the end of the year.

In the end in heavy rain, Brazil's Kaka defeated Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal. Apart from a yellow card in the 84th minute, Ronaldo had nothing to do with AC Milan's momentum.

AC Milan eliminated Manchester United with a total score of 5:4 and advanced to the final.

Dunn promised to give Albertini the "most perfect farewell match" right in front of his eyes.

※※※

The day after the game ended, the "Gazzetta dello Sport" posted in a prominent position not the game screen, but a photo taken in a hotel.

In the photo, the Nottingham Forest coach, who also entered the Champions League final, raised his arms and faced AC Milan coach Ancelotti, as if he was raising his hands to surrender.

The following text is: Nottingham Forest is the first minister to AC Milan!

This photo caused an uproar as soon as it came out. A number of Italian media reprinted it in a prominent position. The whole of Italy was mocking England's Nottingham Forest Club. Tony Dunn became the laughing stock of everyone overnight.

"...I have never seen a head coach who raised his hand before the game, thank you Tony Dunn for letting us open our eyes again!"

One day later, as a counterattack, the "Nottingham Evening Post" published an article titled "Interview with the Head Coach of the Forest Team". Judging from the name, this seems to be a long talk, but the actual content is only one sentence:

"Tony Dunn: If I can't win AC Milan or the UEFA Champions League, then I will go to the Aegean Sea!!!" (To be continued, if you want to know what happened, please visit www.qidian.com , More chapters, support authors, support genuine reading!)
