Godfather Of Champions

"Forest! Forest! Nottingham Forest!"

"Champion! Champion! We are the champion!"

"Aren't you trying to reverse us? Come on, Italian bastards! Come on!"

In the overwhelming cheers, the Italian commentator is still cheering AC Milan, after all, this is the team representing Italian football.

"There are still seven minutes, including injury time, at least ten minutes. Don't give up, AC Milan! Don't give up!"

The English commentator next door has already begun to prepare congratulations for the Forest team's third championship.

"AC Milan wants to reverse, it's harder than the skyshaking! They are not facing any team, they are facing Nottingham Forest! It is Tony Dunn's Nottingham Forest! This is a team that never will The team that will give up and never give the opponent a chance to comeback!"

※※※

The Forest team celebrated with a crazy stack of Arhats on the sidelines, but it was the referee Vandel's intervention that stopped it.

This time Vandel pulled up the forest team players one by one and saw Tony Dunn underneath. His suit was crumpled, his tie didn't know where he threw it, two buttons on his shirt had fallen off, his hair was messy, his face flushed... it looked like someone had raped him.

Vandel, with his poker face, couldn't help but laugh. He has enforced countless games and has never seen a coach so miserable by his players.

"Fuck!" Dunn got up from the ground with swear words in his mouth. He sorted out his suits, and found that they were still crumpled and just ignored them.

The people next to him were all laughing, with an expression of "It's nice to see Tony like this".

For example, in Nottingham City, those fans who watched in the bar saw Dunn's appearance on TV, and they all burst into laughter and laughed happily.

Sometimes they don't think Dunn is the head coach of a team, but an ordinary person around them, their friend. Sitting in the same bar, drinking and chatting with them, making **** jokes, and then laughing rudely.

They like Dunn as if they like the friends around them.

"Hey! Tony! Come back and we invite you to drink! The best and best wine!"

※※※

The players have all returned to the stadium, the AC Milan people have long been impatient to wait, they even think this is the forest team deliberately delaying the game time, Ancelotti is very dissatisfied with the fourth official negotiating. For his suspicion, the fourth official can only ask the referee to ask the crazy Nottingham Forest players to start from Dunn.

This indirectly saved Dunn's life.

Dunn gasped and said to Chris Lak, who was still laughing, "Try it next time you change?"

Chris Lak waved his hand quickly: "That won't work, the players overthrow you, it means you are popular, Tony."

Dunn glared at him, looked at the court, and then said to Tang on the other side: "Go and call Arteta back."

This is his last substitution.

"AC Milan only scored two more goals in ten minutes, and at the same time let the Forest team stop scoring, can they hope to drag the game into overtime. This sounds like an impossible task... but always try it. I know the result."

The game restarted, AC Milan used the opportunity of serving to launch a wild bombardment on the goal of the forest.

They had no choice at this time, even if they knew that such a pressing attack would leave the rear empty, which was a very dangerous thing, they had no choice but to bite the bullet.

This is not a question of losing one or two goals, it is a question of survival and death.

AC Milan, who did not want to give away the championship, launched the final charge.

※※※

Pirlo is responsible for organizing Milan's offense. He now wants to send the ball directly to the forest team, but Gilardino is not a strong center forward who is good at headers. He basically has no performance after he comes on the court. Looking at it now, it is better to keep Inzaghi on the court, even if he can only wait in the opponent's penalty area because of physical exhaustion, he is better than Gilardino.

Pirlo suppressed the idea of ​​sending the football directly to the forest team's goal or organizing the offense honestly, looking for loopholes in the forest team. He knows that the more at this time, the more he has to stay calm. The other party is excited now, maybe it will reveal flaws. If he missed this opportunity because he didn't operate well, he would really become a sinner.

He is still patiently looking for opportunities, and his teammates are desperately interspersing to create opportunities for him.

Just when he found the gap, he was knocked down.

The offender was Dmitrio Albertini.

This former Milan player does not miss his old feelings. When he saw Pirlo temporarily take his attention away from the football under his feet, he rushed up decisively, knocked Pirlo down, and prevented an attack by AC Milan.

Unlike Wood's foul, Albertini fouled. AC Milan fans did not boo overwhelmingly, but remained silent.

Because this scene makes them uncomfortable. On one side is his favorite team, on the other side is the deputy captain who is recognized as having received unfair treatment from the club. It's not good to help anyone...

The referee gave Albertini a verbal warning and asked him to pay attention to his defensive actions. Albertini nodded and accepted with a very good attitude.

Then he ran to pull Pirlo up and patted him on the head to show his friendship.

Seeing this scene, the Italian commentator did not know what to say. When Albertini was still playing in Italy, he was very popular in Italian football and had a good relationship with players, coaches, commentators, and reporters. Even as AC Milan’s opponents ended AC Milan’s hopes of winning in this final, the Italian commentator could not say that he was not.

"It's sad..." After a long while, he sighed.

※※※

The atmosphere of the stadium is getting more and more enthusiastic. The fans of Nottingham Forest sing high songs non-stop, causing waves of people, as if victory has already been achieved.

AC Milan fans are also unwilling to give up. They also sing team songs, cheer for AC Milan, and pray for God to let miracles appear at the last moment.

"It's only two goals short! We still have time and chance! Calm down!" Maldini slapped his teammates to encourage him, and then rushed up from the back line himself.

It's all offense now. Anyway, the opponent Nottingham Forest withdrew Van Nistelrooy and Eastwood, and it seemed that he didn't want to fight back, and Maldini was not afraid that he would go up to assist and cause the rear defense to be empty. In the face of the turbulent waves in Milan, wave after wave of offensive, you Nottingham Forest still want to fight back? We will let you drive your big foot in halftime!

Pirlo rushed up Maldini from the left, gave a false shot, and then passed the football to Maldini who was inserted.

After the AC Milan captain received the ball, there was a huge cheer in the stands.

At this time, seeing the person wearing the captain's armband holding the ball, everyone will feel at ease, as if they have seen hope.

"Paul Maldini. He participated in the UEFA Champions League final for the eighth time, tying the record of former Real Madrid superstar Gento. At the age of 38, 331 days, he became the biggest goalkeeper in the Champions League final. A player, and this is the third time he has participated in the Champions League final as a captain, and broke the record of 36-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper Ramalez in 1961, becoming the oldest captain in the history of the Champions League. In his career. In, he has won countless glory times. He is a man who has seen big scenes. Now... AC Milan’s hope of miracles lies at his feet. When he was young, he used to be a full-back with excellent defense and assists. Now he rarely appears in the frontcourt..."

The commentator introduced the glory of Maldini in detail, in order to give the Italian fans a reassurance, telling them-what an amazing person the captain of AC Milan is. Don't give up, trust him, you will surely reap miracles!

Maldini adjusted the football at his feet, and he decided to break through with the ball. Obviously, the forest team's back line is preventing his cross pass, and no one has been forced to come up. What are you waiting for if you don't break through?

He had just started when a red figure suddenly struck, and it was a fierce tackle.

"Dmitrio Albertini!"

Maltibe, caught off guard, was tackled by Albertini with the ball to change the line. AC Milan's offense ended here.

Then the referee's whistle sounded.

Maldini felt that at that moment, he seemed to have been hit by a heavy truck, and his ribs hurt. He was lying on the ground and did not get up immediately. At the moment the two collided, he saw the person coming.

It was a face that I used to be familiar with and could no longer be familiar.

When he used to be a teammate, he always smiled modestly, so that everyone would like him at first sight. All the little guys who enter Milanello will get his best help. Sometimes he is more like a captain than my captain. Even though he is just a deputy captain...

It's hard for you to associate this person who always smiles kindly with the position of the back midfielder on the football field. He changed Italian football. Since then, the Italian national team has its own midfield commander.

I once asked him what his greatest wish was. His answer was not to win the World Cup or the European Cup, but to retire in AC Milan.

I said it is very simple, you can definitely retire here and say goodbye to San Siro. You are our deputy captain, AC Milan will not treat her loyalists badly.

As a result, now he was wearing his opponent's jersey and knocked me to the ground with a grim look.

Should I stand up, grab his collar, and then angrily question him about this despicable foul?

Maldini lay on the ground, staring blankly at the night sky.

A hand appeared in his field of vision.

"Don't give up, Paul, you have five minutes." He said to Maldini in Italian.

Maldini rolled over and sat up, and took the hand he passed. "Why did you suddenly encourage the enemy?"

Albertini pointed to the sidelines: "I have to end, my path is over. So, now I can wish you good luck."

Maldini followed his hand and looked over. The fourth official stood on the sidelines and held up the electronic card. It was not injury time, but substitutions.

Get down on number 4 and up on number 14.

A man in a red jersey stood beside the fourth official, eager to try.

Albertini used his hand to pull Maldini up.

"Hey, you knocked me down and took my championship, do you want to end so easily? Demi!" Maldini asked in a low voice.

Albertini opened and closed his mouth, without saying anything, and turned away from his former teammate.

"Come back! As you said, there are five minutes left to finish it! Did you hear that, Demi!" Maldini shouted.

Albertini didn't seem to hear him at all, and he quickened his pace without saying a word or looking back.

"I said I would retire after the end of this season. I'm almost thirty-nine years old... But I have changed my mind now! I still want to win the championship! You are only thirty-five years old, why should you leave first?! You If you can continue to play, look at your performance in this game!"

Maldini's retention did not shake Albertini's will, he walked quickly to Wood, and then reached out and took off the golden captain's armband on his arm.

"Demi..." Wood looked at his partner, his teacher, his captain.

"I'm leaving, George." Albertini smiled and put the captain's armband on Wood's arm.

Wood reflexively wanted to avoid, but he heard Albertini lower his head and shout: "Don't move!"

He froze there, allowing Albertini to complete the captain handover ceremony.

※※※

"Dmitrio Albertini... a 35-year-old veteran, this is the last game of his career. He was replaced in the 86th minute." The Italian commentator sighed. "The Nottingham Forest he now represents is leading the team AC Milan where he has played for twelve years by 3-1. His love for AC Milan is unquestionable, but his professionalism is also unquestionable. We can still What are you talking about? An indirect assist and a direct goal in the final. What else can we ask for? This is your best performance in the final. You deserve this champion! Good luck, Demi! Thank you you!"

The English commentator was equally emotional: “It is often said that Italian players cannot succeed in the English Football League. I don’t want to give them the example of Gian Franco Zola, I just want them to look at this person in front of them. This legend. Demetrio Albertini, he came to Nottingham Forest at the end of his career, but created a legend of his own. Thanks to Tony Dunn, he kept Demi and played this One season. The fans of Nottingham Forest want to thank you, Demi, and I want to thank you too."

※※※

After repeating it, finally putting on the captain's armband, Albertini raised his head and said goodbye to Wood: "Goodbye, George."

Wood looked at the man in front of him and turned with a smile, and walked off the court.

At this time he suddenly remembered what Roy Keane said to himself in the bathroom of the Vilford training base:

"...The Italian from Albertini is a very good captain, but one day he will get old, will retire, and will leave you and the team..."

He just woke up like a dream at this time: Demi really wants to leave, he really wants to leave, and won't come back again. His "acting captain on the field" became the real "captain on the field"...

He stood there, staring at Albertini's back, watching him leave.

He saw Albertini walking to the sidelines, and along the way, players from Forest and AC Milan came up to shake hands and hug him.

When he walked to the sidelines, he raised his arms and applauded to the stands.

At this moment, a large group of people stood up in the stands, whether they were fans of Nottingham Forest or AC Milan, all stood up and applauded to see off their captain.

Off the court, Dunn and all members of the Forest team coaching staff, as well as the players on the bench, also stood on the sidelines and applauded with the fans. The same goes for AC Milan's bench.

In this short period of time, everyone forgot about the fierce fighting on the court, calmed down, temporarily put aside their grievances, and bid farewell to their mutual friends.

"Thank you..." There was no sound from his wriggling lips, but everyone saw what he wanted to express. "……Goodbye."

Albertini finally walked off the field. He walked towards Dunn, wanting to shake hands with the coach who gave him his second youth. Unexpectedly, Dunn hugged him.

"I don't know how to thank you, Demi. Let me give you a hug...you are leaving..." He was surprised to hear the boss's voice choking a little!

How did he know that when Dunn decided to replace him in advance, he felt as if he was overwhelmed by the river, and it was very uncomfortable.

At this moment, he is not the head coach, he is just an ordinary fan. One watched Albertini appear in Serie A for the first time on behalf of AC Milan, and then ups and downs, losing the World Cup champion, losing the European Cup champion, losing his beloved Milan, and was forced to leave home and wander away in the desolation at the end. Ordinary Chinese fans who have no choice but to retire and have shared the ups and downs with him for more than a decade.

He really wanted to say to Albertini: "I grew up watching you play football, Demi."

Albertini thought it was just an expression of the boss's true feelings as a friend. He patted Dunn on the back: "You think I can still find me in Milan, boss."

Dunn let go of him and smiled: "You are right, buddy. Go and say goodbye to them..." He pointed to the person behind him.

Albertini stepped forward to bid farewell to his teammates and coaches, and then he ran to the AC Milan coaching bench to bid farewell to the players.

※※※

The game continues.

AC Milan still did not give up, and in the last few minutes launched a siege on the Forest team's goal.

Maldini hardly returned to the defense, he was waiting in front of him to participate in the attack.

Arteta's mission is not to organize the offense, but to assist in the defense and help Wood build an indestructible line of defense in front of the defender.

Wearing a golden captain's armband, Wood is particularly conspicuous. He can be seen in almost every place, beautiful tackles, competing for headers with opponents, blocking opponents' strong shots with his body, and delaying Milan's attack by fouling... I have to work hard and vigorously in any minute, as if this is not the last few minutes of the game, but the first few minutes of the game.

He runs like crazy, defends, sprints, and fights for the top... as if it is not AC Milan that is behind, but Nottingham Forest.

His idea is simple: AC Milan are not reconciled to failure, they will launch a general attack at the last moment. If you take it lightly, you might be succeeded by the other party. Demi gave me the captain's armband. This champion belongs to Nottingham Forest. I can't let him down.

The forest team reclaimed all the lines, the three lines maintained a compact team shape, and all people gathered in the 30-meter area in front of the goal. This is the ultimate defensive formation they are most proud of-wall defense.

AC Milan players faced this "wall of sigh" and launched a desperate charge.

The fourth official held up the sign of injury stoppage time from the sidelines-four minutes.

Maldini's header was too positive, and the football was directly confiscated by Van der Sar. The Forest team kicked the football directly to the front and AC Milan continued to attack after stealing the ball.

There are three minutes left.

Seedorf's long shot was taken out by Pepe's body. AC Milan players raised their arms to indicate that Pepe was handball. The referee ignored it. Gattuso questioned the referee with dissatisfaction and resulted in a yellow card. The Milan fans in the stands booed dissatisfiedly.

There are still two minutes.

Kaka tried to force a breakthrough and was brought down by Arteta on the penalty area. AC Milan thought it was a penalty, but the referee awarded a free kick. At the same time, the players on both sides clashed at the foul spot. The people of Nottingham Forest hoped to make the conflict worse. Maldini saw through their tricks of delaying the game time, struggling to pull away his teammates, and warned them that the most important thing at this time is not to fight with each other, but to stay calm and hurry up. Goal.

Arteta and Ambrosini each received a yellow card after the conflict.

There is one last minute.

The Nottingham Forest fans in the stands have begun to set off red fireworks, while the AC Milan fans gradually fell silent. In the TV close-up, the Milan fans were silent, with tears in their eyes and red eyes. They held their scarves in their hands and stared helplessly at the stadium. Faced with the strict defense of the Forest team, the AC Milan players have no way.

Ancelotti kept roaring from the sidelines, waving his arms and scoring two goals in the last minute. This probability is about the same as a person being struck by lightning twice in a row. But he was unwilling to give up, or that he was unwilling to admit defeat, because his opponent was Tony Dunn, who he hated most.

All the substitute players and coaches of Nottingham Forest stood on the sidelines side by side, arm in arm. They cheered, waiting for the referee to whistle to end the game while rushing to celebrate.

The English commentator stopped explaining the game. He began to talk about the grand occasion when the Forest team won the Champions League for the first time 28 years ago. He was young then, and now he is over half a hundred years old.

Van der Sar raised his arm again and again, not knowing whether he was preparing for the save or celebrating in advance.

Wood is still running to fulfill his defensive responsibilities.

Maldini became a complete striker in the last minute, and he stopped going out in the forest team's penalty area.

Dun En clenched his fists tightly. He felt the tightness of his heart. He didn't even dare to gasp for fear that the heart would jump out of his mouth. The legs are already shaking slightly, this is not tension, this is because of excitement, it is a kind of emotion that great happiness is about to come, it is indescribable, but it is wonderful.

With thirty seconds left, this will be the first heavyweight championship in his coaching career, which is more exciting and exciting than winning the English League Cup.

Because this is the European champion, the opponent we defeated is AC Milan, a six-time Champions League winner.

We won 3:1. Is there anything more convincing than this?

Who dare to look down upon us? Who would dare to think that we are not qualified to stand here? Who dare to laugh at us! Who!

Want to watch me jump into the sea? Want to make a fool of me? I'm so sorry for letting you down again!

There are still thirty seconds.

"Almost all the Italian media vowed before the final that Dunn would definitely go to the sea, Dunn must go to the sea, because Nottingham Forest's opponent is AC Milan, AC Milan, who has countless championship experience. No matter what. Analysis, they can't think of the reason and possibility of AC Milan's loss. There is even an Italian travel agency that organized to go to Athens and watch Dunn jump into the sea after the game... Now, I really want to know those Italians His expression! It must be wonderful!" The English commentator stood up from his seat and raised his arms. Waiting for the whistle of fate to blow.

In Nottingham, all the bars have already started the carnival ahead of time. They don't believe that AC Milan can score two goals in the last few tens of seconds. Even if God comes, it is impossible!

The guests in the forest bar were toasting to the bar owner Kenny Burns in turn: "Kenny, we thought we would never see this day again!" These people are old people who cannot go to Athens to watch the game. Guys.

"Thank God, thank God..."

"Hey, old folks! You have to thank Tony!" a younger voice called.

"Ahem...all the same, all the same..." the old man coughed, "Tony is God, God is Tony..."

※※※

The Italian commentator stopped speaking, and the AC Milan players did not run away.

At this time the football is at the feet of the forest team players. Ribery passed the football to Wood, Wood then passed to Ashley Young, and Young transferred the ball to Arteta. The Forest team keeps passing the ball, just don't give AC Milan players a chance to press close.

"The game is over!" The Forest fans in the stands shouted. "We are the champions! We are the **** champions!!!"

The referee is looking at his watch.

The forest team players outside the court all raised their arms, leaned forward, sprinting.

Ancelotti was sitting in a chair, with people around him blocking his vision. But he doesn't care anymore, it makes no difference if he doesn't look at the stadium anyway. He lost.

A huge noise fills every corner of this stadium. If two people next to each other want to talk, they must put their mouths on each other's ears to make the other person hear clearly.

But in such a noisy environment, the three whistles were still exceptionally clear.

Forest team player Eastwood, who was falling back and forth, heard the referee blow the first whistle, and he couldn't wait to kick the football into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third sounds followed.

This is the whistle for the end of the game!

The people around Dun En disappeared in an instant - they all rushed up and embraced them with open arms.

"The game is over! The champion belongs to Nottingham Forest!"

"Hurrah! Long live!" A unified shout sounded from the stands.

"From the second division of England to the European championship, Tony Dunn and his team spent four years. We seemed to see the shadow of Brian Clough behind him... that glorious team appeared again. In our vision... this is not an accident, this is a red storm! Nottingham Forest, the team that has won the European Champions Cup for two consecutive years, has come to Europe for the third time!"

Dunn realized that everyone around him was gone, so he reacted and rushed onto the court with his arms wide open.

This is my way, paved with championship trophies and countless honors. The red carpet that represents the nobleness extends from underfoot to... all the way to the horizon. I can't see the end of it, but I know it will be so. Extend it.

Some people say that winning the championship is the end and success.

success?

Hey, I just hit the road!

Champion, how can one be enough! (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
