Godfather Of Champions

"I'm sorry that you didn't let the audience see me jumping into the sea. Maybe next time I should say'If I win, I will jump into the sea.' Would it be better?"

Dunn’s interview with a BBC reporter is being shown on LCD TVs everywhere in the airport lobby.

This is already in the morning, and it is now afternoon. The forest team's special plane is about to arrive at London Heathrow Airport.

When accepting an interview in the morning, Dunn promised to hand over the live broadcast of the forest team to the BBC to celebrate the team's championship tonight as compensation.

As for the other media... he doesn't care.

It is very clear in the contract that the premise of this contract taking effect is that the Forest team loses, and he does not need to bear any responsibility for this. Handing over the live broadcast of the celebration party to the BBC is just because Dunn had cooperated with BBC TV in the World Cup in Germany, and the relationship between the two parties was good.

"...Well, I regret selling the live broadcast rights to the English media now." On the TV screen, Dunn was dressed and radiant with a smile on his face. "Perhaps I should sell it to the Italian media? Then watch them sell all the ads, vowing to live broadcast my sea diving... Ha! I will learn this lesson next time."

There were bursts of laughter from the crowd watching the TV.

These people are almost all fans who came from Nottingham. They came to the airport to meet the Forest team in advance, and they also raised a red banner that read: "Welcome to the European champion-Nottingham Forest!"

It's not just banners, all of them hold a newspaper. This is an extra part of the Champions League final of the Nottingham Evening Post. It was the editorial department and printing industry that were driven out all night after the finals.

The front page is printed in color. Except for their own registration, the whole page is red, with a golden number "3" on it, and a row of golden letters "Champion-Nottingham Forest" above and below the number. This is the commemorative T-shirt that the Forest team wore to receive the trophy after winning the championship.

In addition, there is no extra word on the front page. As newspapers that are only sold in the Nottingham area, their readers are all Nottinghamians. There is no need for too many predictions. The fans of Nottingham Forest naturally know what this means.

Pierce Bruce sent this as a front page idea to the editorial department and it was immediately approved.

The Forest team fans who are now coming to pick up the plane even use the newspaper in their hands as a joint code and identity mark. When they see someone, they raise the newspaper in their hands, and then everyone smiles at each other-they are all Forest team fans!

There are about two dozen media gathered around this group of people, waiting for the arrival of the special plane with them.

A season ago, at this time, when Dunn and his team flew back from Paris, France, besides these **** fans, there were only a few local media in Nottingham and the "Sun" waiting to laugh at Dunn. People always lack interest in a loser. No one wants to be a loser, but no one cares whether a loser wants to be a loser.

Through the porthole, Dunn could already see the Thames estuary under the clouds, and the surface of the water reflected the sun's rays, sparkling silver. He turned to look at the Champions League next to him, also shining with dazzling silver light.

"It's so beautiful..." he murmured, reaching out to touch the curve on the trophy, as if caressing his wife's carcass-of course, if he had a wife...

The players were exhausted after a night of revelry. They had been sleeping since they got on the plane, and only a few of them were still awake at this time.

Dunn and Tang are one of them. Tang didn't sit with Tang En, he went to the economy class at the back, which was said to be an exclusive interview with Tang Jing. Dunn snorted when he heard these words. What kind of interview did he get from last night to this afternoon?

There was a bump in the fuselage, and the voice of a stewardess appeared on the broadcast: "Passengers, our plane is descending, and there is a bump in the fuselage now. Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts."

Some of the players woke up one after another. They looked blankly and found that they had reached the sky over England.

Dunn didn't listen to the stewardess's command. He stood up with the trophy, and then took out the loud voice of commanding the game and shouted: "Get up, slackers!"

The sound of Xisuo Suo sounded in the cabin, and after a while everyone poked their heads out of their positions. Most of them were sleepy and blank, not knowing what was going on.

"I should really give you a mirror, and let you see for yourself-are the European champions like this?" Dunn did not wake up, his strange appearance caused the players to laugh and fall asleep. Was driven away.

"Rub your face, the plane is about to land, and the spirit is fighting. There are many fans and reporters waiting outside. Don't let them see you now." After that, Dunn sat down.

After a while, Tang also walked back from behind, and he sat next to Dun En.

"The interview is over?"

"Ok."

"Super long interview, I was looking forward to it suddenly." Dunn whistled.

Tang didn't speak, he knew that his tongue was not as good as Tang En. If he kept talking on this topic, he would soon be defeated.

There was a commotion behind him, Tang turned his head to look, and then touched Dunn: "Mr. Chairman."

Dunn heard this and quickly stood up. Sure enough, he saw Evan Daggerty and Alan Adams walking towards him while greeting the players.

"It looks like I'm looking for you." Tang said, and then moved to the empty position across the hall.

"Players! You did a good job, I am proud of your performance! The championship bonus will be honored when you return to Nottingham!" Evan made a promise about money with a smile, which is what the players want to hear most now Then, everyone whistled and applauded, cheering.

These are three rows of seats, Dunn is by the window, the championship trophy is in the middle seat, and there is an empty seat in the aisle. Tang had planned to give another one, but Evan raised his hand to stop it.

He stretched out his hand to Dun En, "Can you let me hug that?" He was referring to the Champions League.

"Of course." Dunn handed him the Champions League.

Evan held it in his hand and rubbed it lightly, then he sat in the middle seat and continued to hold the trophy in his arms.

Alan Adams was sitting on the outside.

"She's so beautiful, isn't she?" Evan asked, looking at the trophy in his arms.

"Like a beauty with **** and fat buttocks." Dun En replied.

Both of them laughed.

"Good job, Tony." Alan next to him stretched out his hand to Dunn across Evan and the trophy.

Dunn shook hands with him: "Thank you Ellen, without your financial support, we wouldn't be able to get to this point."

Evan is very happy to see his two men get along so harmoniously, which shows that there are no cracks in the club, and he can look forward to a better future and more of this moment.

"Tony. You brought such a great honor to the team, the club should do something." Evan put down the trophy and handed it to Allen. "what do you want?"

Dunn thought for a while: "I want the club to increase investment in the construction of the youth team."

When Evan heard him say this, he glanced at Alan next to him, and then stretched out his hand: "Ten pounds."

"Oh, damn..." Allen grumbled, fetching ten pounds from his pocket and patted Evan Daggerty's palm.

"you guys……"

"Before I came, I bet Alan, he said you would ask for personal treatment such as a raise, but I said you would consider team building. Thank you, Tony, you helped me win him by ten pounds." Happy laughing.

"Hey……"

Evan didn't let Dunn continue speaking, he put his hand on Dunn's shoulder: "Isn't our youth academy always in the top ranks of England?"

"That was before, and it's not anymore." Dunn wanted to shrug, and found Evan's hand on it. He didn't feel good, so he just shook his head. "Chelsea’s new boss has invested a lot of money in the team’s youth training. They dig around, and some of us have been poached. Look at the major clubs in the league now, which one does not have an outstanding youth team? Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool...Only us, our youth training system compares with theirs, just like a hillbilly. There is a reality that makes me very frustrated, since Bell and Wood, our youth team has never been able to I look at the player I look at..."

"Perhaps you have a better vision, Tony, now that the adult teams are all big stars. It's normal for you to look down on the youth team..." Evan comforted.

Dunn shook his head: "Perhaps. But in the battle with those teams for young talent, we are already at a disadvantage. This is a fact."

Evan nodded in agreement. "But Tony... I have something to tell you."

Now that more and more players wake up in the cabin, and gradually become lively, Evan lowers his head and lowers his voice. Obviously, he does not want more people to hear what he is going to say next.

"Your request may be difficult for us..."

"what?"

"I mean, we may not be able to spend too much money to invest in the youth team in the near future. At least I can't be as generous as Abramovich. Because... uh, Alan and I are planning to give the ball. The team builds a large-capacity stadium."

Dunn opened his mouth and looked at Evan in surprise.

He really did not expect that he would hear such news.

In the game of FM Football Manager he played, he can make various requests to the club board as the head coach, such as improving training facilities, improving the construction of the youth training system, finding satellite clubs, and giving higher salary caps and transfers. The dues budget, as well as the expansion or even the new stadium.

Among these requirements, the last one is the most difficult. When Dunn was playing games, he proposed to the club to expand the new stadium more than once, and the answer was basically "NO". He even threatened to resign, and the result was the same-his seat led the team to win all the championships in the world, the meritorious head coach ranked number one in the world rankings, on the board of directors about " "A new stadium or a new coach" was abandoned in the multiple choice question.

Just because of the lack of seats in the stadium, he can be fired by those **** club boards without hesitation.

Because he was so impressed by this absurd thing, Dunn never thought of proposing to the team that the expansion was just a new stadium. Although he also feels that the city stadium, which can hold up to 30,000 people, is a little outrageous and not commensurate with the status of the Forest team...

Evan looked at Dunn’s expression, thinking that he was angry at the club for not giving money to improve the construction of the youth team, but to engage in a new stadium construction plan. He planned to explain. He didn't want to have trouble with his head coach the day after he just won the Champions League.

"Uh, Tony... it's actually like this..."

Dunn raised his hand to interrupt him: "Do you really have a plan to build a new stadium?" He looked at Evan and then at Allen.

Or Allen came out and nodded: "Yes, Tony. We started planning this idea in the semifinals. Both Evan and I think that the current City Stadium cannot accommodate too many fans. This is the same as our team now. The results in the European arenas and domestic leagues are very mismatched. You know, the new stadium requires a lot of money. Just look at the dilemma of Arsenal in those years. So once this plan is implemented, we really don’t have much money for you. The youth team, and I’m afraid there is not much money for you to operate in the transfer market..."

Evan is always reluctant to do such offensive things, and only Alan comes forward.

Dunn is not a fool. He looked at Evan's head down and said nothing, then at Alan's expression, and then laughed: "Wait, you guys think I will be furious and lash out at this. plan?"

Hearing him say this, Evan looked up at him.

"I already have the same idea as you in my heart. I also think that the city stadium, which can only accommodate up to 30,000 people, is too small... I agree with the new stadium plan."

The expressions of the other two were relaxed and relieved.

Any discordant sound inside the club is not what Evan wants to hear.

"But..." Dunn's tone changed, "Youth team can take your time. I hope that at least there is a plan to invest how much money each year, not too much, but continue to invest in it. In terms of transfer fees...anyway, these few years I’m used to saving money for the club during transfer negotiations. It doesn’t matter if we have less. Our current squad is very strong and we don’t need a large transfer fee to replace the entire team. We only need to be in a few positions. Just add a little staff."

Hearing Dunn's words, Evan and Allen looked at each other, and the stone in their hearts was completely put down.

"There is no problem with the construction of the youth team. I also know that any giant must have a youth training base that matches its identity. In addition, Tony, our transfer situation in recent years has generally been more in and out..."

Dunn knew what he meant.

"When the transfer market reopens, one person will definitely leave."

Evan and Allen did not ask him who that person was, because everyone knew it in their hearts.

"However," Tang En said, "We may not make that much money from that person. He is not as good as last year."

"Who told you to refrigerate people for a season?" Evan laughed.

"I won't let those who oppose me leave the forest so easily." Dunn shrugged. "He has to suffer. Now I am sure he has suffered enough..."

Allen interrupted him: "What if this champion suddenly changes his mind and wants to stay in Nottingham Forest?"

Dunn answered Allen’s question without hesitation, as if he had already figured out the answer: "The result is the same, he left. Allen, do you know? This is a way to tell them in front of the players, who is the It's a good opportunity for the boss of this team, I won't let it go."

While talking, there was a shock from the plane, and they landed.

"I support you, Tony." Evan nodded in response to the shock. "In the team, you have the final say."

After saying this, Evan and Allen left before the plane stopped.

Dunn got up and greeted Albertini who was sitting at the back: "Demi, come here!"

"What's the matter, boss?" Although he has announced his retirement, Albertini still calls Dunn "the boss" according to habit in the team.

"Wait a moment, you will be with me and walk in the forefront." Dunn pointed to the Champions League in his hand. "We both carried it off the plane."

Albertini hesitated: "I have retired, boss. You should let George come..."

"Shit!" Dunn cursed, "Have I announced the disbandment of the team? This season is not over yet! If George wants to enjoy this glory, wait for the next time! This time, you and me will be the best In front. Not only here, but also on the way back to Nottingham, and finally our celebration party... Until then, you were still the captain of this team."

Albertini smiled helplessly: "Okay, I listen to you, boss."

※※※

After the plane cleared the runway and stopped on the tarmac, reporters and welcoming fans swarmed up, and the police in charge of maintaining order struggled to keep these people behind the safety line. The scene was a bit messy and noisy.

It wasn't until they saw the cabin door opened that they suddenly fell silent.

The police felt that the pressure around them suddenly eased, and raised their heads.

The cabin door slowly opened, and Tony Dunn was the first to walk out. He raised his hand and waved to the welcoming crowd below, while the other hand remained in the plane. Following his footsteps, the championship trophy and Albertini appeared in front of everyone.

The two did not rush down to walk down, but stood at the door and raised the trophy high together.

The climax came.

The fans below cheered in unison, flashing the lights.

"Dear viewers... this is the European Champions Cup!" The live TV broadcast gave Dunn and Albertini a big close-up of the trophy. "The hands holding it once wore the jerseys of Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich... Now it's Nottingham Forest's turn!"

A female anchor spoke emotionally in front of the camera. Her words were heard by the fans next to her, and they yelled with pride in their words. "This is not the first time, not the first time! This is the third time we have picked her up! Nottingham Forest is the team that has won the European Champions Cup three times!"

The female anchor was startled by the sudden shout, and did not make a sound for a long time.

Dunn and Albertini stepped off the gangway holding the trophy high. Since they appeared at the door of the cabin, the flashing lights have not stopped.

Behind them, the players of the Forest team filed out. They had changed their jerseys and wore dark red suits. This is the uniform uniform issued by the Forest Club for players and coaches to attend the occasion.

Such attire makes them look vigorous, not at all as if they had just woke up. Dunn looked back at his players, he was very satisfied with the performance of these boys.

When Dunn and Albertini walked down the gangway carrying the trophy, the police on both sides felt the tremendous pressure from them again. Those people squeezed forward desperately, trying to get close to the trophy that shone in the sun. .

Some police hats were squeezed to wear unsteadily, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Dunn stopped and motioned to Albertini to cooperate with him to raise the trophy again. Then he raised his hand to signal the fans on the scene to quiet down, he had something to say.

This trick is very effective, the fans do not listen to the police, but all listen to the coach.

A young policeman looked at Dun En with a smile, and while desperately maintaining order for his companions: "Is he helping us stabilize the emotions of the fans?"

The older policeman gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "The ghost knows... it would be nice if he doesn't add chaos!" The old policeman was very dissatisfied with being sent to the airport to be responsible for the continuous maintenance of security. On the one hand, because he is a Chelsea fan, he doesn't like seeing his opponents so beautiful. On the other hand, it is because where there is Dun En, there will be trouble.

"Hey! I said guys!" Dunn raised his volume, shouting like he was directing the game loudly from the sidelines, "Before I took over this team, what did she look like, do you all remember?"

"Remember!" hundreds of fans present loudly responded.

"Now Coach Tony Dunn is going to give a live impromptu speech..." the hostess whispered into the microphone, for fear of interrupting Dunn's speech.

"Twenty-three years back from that day, what did the Forest Team look like at that time, do you all remember?!"

"Remember!!" The answer was much louder this time, because that was the most glorious period in the history of Nottingham Forest Club. They emerged from the second division and became the champions of the first division, and they have won for two consecutive years. The UEFA Champions League champion, before Wenger's Arsenal, created the longest unbeaten record of 42 England's top league games. Liverpool, which dominated Europe, was defeated by them twice in a year: League and Champions League. For a time, the red Nottingham Forest was in the limelight.

The names of Brian Clough and his disciples are engraved in the history of the European Champions Cup.

"Very good!" Dunn nodded, and then he took the other handle of the trophy from Albertini. He raised the trophy high and shouted, "Counting from that year to the present... Twenty-seven years later! We are back! Let the whole of Europe tremble! Let our opponents be afraid! Let those who look down on us go to hell! There are more champions waiting for us to hug!"

Hundreds of fans followed their head coach and screamed to the sky, just as the older policeman said: This scene is even more chaotic...

In this crazy shout, the hostess also had to increase her volume: "Coach Tony Dunn gave an impromptu speech to his supporters at the airport. He told these people that everything has just begun! It is the report sent back to you by BBC TV from the scene."

The female anchor who finished her work turned her head to look at Dun En, who was walking out with the trophy held high among the crowd. He smiled so brilliantly... , More chapters, support authors, support genuine reading!)
