Godfather Of Champions

Of course, although Dunn said he would win, the football game is not just to win. If there is no careful preparation and careful arrangement, coupled with the right tactics, winning is just empty talk.

Sunderland's strength is not strong, and the newly promoted behave very much like the newly promoted-the team's performance is fluctuating. The first round of the league began and they played against Tottenham Hotspur at home. Both sides played very dull in this game, but Sunderland continued their performance in the Champions League last season. On the basis of tenacious defense, they actively launched counterattacks and finally knocked on Tottenham’s door at the last minute. Made a good start.

Keane's new season debut looks very successful and amazing.

Experts can't wait to announce that Sunderland this season is likely to become Wigan Athletic in the first two seasons.

But Keane really didn't give the expert face. In the second round of the league, Sunderland drew with Birmingham 2:2 away. In the third round, they lost to Middlesbrough 0:3. In the fourth round, they lost to Liverpool 0:2 at home.

Then, on September 2nd, Keane returned to Old Trafford. He said goodbye to the former Manchester United teammate "Legend" Solskjaer before the game-Solskjaer, who was plagued by injuries before, announced his official retirement . Although the atmosphere on both sides before the game was very good, Manchester United fans also gave warm applause to Roy Keane, who led the team back to Old Trafford. Keane also embraced Ferguson in front of many media. There is no smell of gunpowder to fight.

But after the start of the game, these warmth sides are no longer visible. The final score was 1:0. Sunderland's performance was very tenacious, but the Portuguese teenager Nani, who joined Manchester United this season, penetrated the gate with a world-class long shot. On the face of it, Sunderland was out of luck and Manchester United scored in the worst possible way. In fact, there are many opportunities for Manchester United in a normal game, but after Rooney was injured and missed, Manchester United's striker suddenly couldn't find the direction of attack.

After Tevez came on the field, the cooperation with his teammates was not tacit enough to form an effective offensive cooperation.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he sat in the audience with Rooney to recuperate.

"King Dong" Dong Fangzhuo, who is very concerned by Chinese fans, has entered the big list and sat on the bench. But no matter how the Manchester United's offense is blocked, he has never gotten the chance to play. He sat on the bench for ninety minutes, which also made Chinese fans look forward to ninety minutes.

At the end of that game, Manchester United defeated Sunderland led by Keane by Nani's goal.

Sunderland's three-game losing streak suddenly shut up the experts who were optimistic about them. Although Wigan Athletic lost to Nottingham Forest in the first game of the new season, they performed quite well later, otherwise they would not be regarded as a **** horse. Sunderland's performance is really far from the image of "dark horse". Just like their nickname, "black cat" is after all a cat, not a horse.

In the sixth round of the league, Sunderland finally ushered in their second league victory this season, they defeated Fulham 2:1 at their home.

Sunderland’s fans think that the previous three-game losing streak is just a small accident. The team loses because of bad luck and the team is slowly adapting to the rhythm of the Premier League, which can be seen from the change in the score of their loss. come out. At first, they lost to Middlesbrough, who lost three goals. Then they lost to Liverpool with two goals. Then they lost only one goal when they arrived at Manchester United. Now, against Fulham, Sunderland is even better. Won! What does this mean? It shows that the situation of the team is getting better from game to game. In this round we won Fulham by one goal, and in the next round we will win Nottingham Forest... two goals?

This sounds a bit funny, it is almost impossible for Sunderland and the forest team to be in strength. But who is Sunderland's head coach? It is Roy Keane, who is not afraid of the sky, and there is a miracle with him. Think about our tragic situation in the British Championship last season. Who can believe that we can finally upgrade? We don't even believe it, Roy Keane is here. He said at the inauguration press conference: "I'm not here to lead the team to relegation." As a result, he did what he said.

It is not impossible to beat Nottingham Forest away. There is no unbeatable team in this world.

But unfortunately, Dunn does not intend to make Sunderland fans get what they want.

Facing the newly promoted Sunderland, Dunn put on the strongest lineup he could put on. Goalkeeper Van der Sar, centre-backs Ayala and Pepe, left-back Gareth Bale, right-back Rafinha. Center forward George Wood and Van der Vaart, left forward Ribery, right forward David Beckham, forwards Van Nistelrooy and Arshavin.

Eastwood suffered a minor injury and continuous fighting was not good for his recovery. So after the Champions League group match with Porto, he was excluded from the list by Dunn, allowing him to cultivate well at home.

This lineup is not the same as the one against Porto four days ago. Dunn has rotated in several positions: Gareth Bale replaced Grosso, Ayala replaced Pique, and Al Shavin replaced Eastwood. Despite this, this lineup is still outstanding in England.

Dunn didn't want others to think that he intentionally let go of his good friend Roy Keane, that was the biggest insult to his professional ethics.

Roy Keane would not be willing to let his opponent release water. In the away game, he put on the strongest lineup, hoping to get three points.

Sunderland used the tactic of defending and counterattack when facing the Forest team. Dunn was familiar with this tactic, and he was not surprised. Because now as the Forest team gets more and more famous, more and more teams use defensive counterattacks to deal with them.

Sunderland is just one of them.

Nottingham Forest's undefeated record of five wins and one draw at the beginning of the six-round league this season is not due to luck. Many of the teams hope to defend and counterattack when facing Forest, but what is the final result? It is not a result of losing.

Today's Nottingham Forest is not a team that does not know what to do in the face of the opposing team. Set shots, long shots, short passes in the middle, flying with two wings... They have many ways to open the opponent's defense. Van der Vaart’s ability to organize attacks at the front of the opponent’s penalty area is much better than Albertini and Art. With him, the Forest team’s frontcourt organization has the backbone. Coupled with Van Nistelrooy and Bendtner, who are not afraid of physical confrontation and are smart-minded centers, even if the other side deploys heavy troops in front of the goal, Dunn now has no such headaches as before.

Now that the Forest team has practiced defensive counterattacks in training, it also focuses on how to break the opponent's barrel formation and how to deal with the opponent in positional battles. They have an advantage in that they are experts in defensive counterattacks, know the weaknesses of defensive counterattacks, understand the psychology of defensive counterattacks, and clearly deal with them.

On the offensive, Van Nistelrooy went up for the first time, attracted the opponent's defensive attention, and pressed the opponent's defense back.

But it is often not the center that really completes the fatal blow, but Eastwood, or Arshavin, or even Van der Vaart.

Now the center's more role is not to score goals, but to perform tactical tasks. As long as the center forwards up, the opponent's line of defense will have to follow backwards, and they dare not fail. Because no matter what the tactic is, the center forward is the opponent player closest to the goal and the arrow figure with the most scoring ability. As for whether there are other offensive players who need to be inserted behind the opponent, it depends on the coordination between the midfield defense and the guards.

Attacking from the back row is one of the mainstream tactics in world football. The reason for the repeated attempts lies in its diversity and uncertainty. No one knows when the opponent will plug in the back row, no one knows who will plug in the back row, let alone whether the opponent wants the back row to plug in, which gives the offensive the basis for this tactic. Soldiers who, deception also. Football tactics are the same, that is, deception and anti-deception.

Seeing Van Nistelrooy squeezing into the penalty area aggressively, Sunderland's defenders dared not help. One trades another, they put their defensive forces in the restricted area, and their defense against the front of the restricted area is weak. Van der Vaart took the ball at the front of the penalty zone. For a while, Sunderland’s defensive players didn’t even go up to fight for it, but worried that they would leave a gap behind them after they went up, allowing the opponent to seize the opportunity to kick the ball...

The Dutch seized this opportunity to take a powerful long shot.

The football hit the goal frame, and Sunderland’s main goalkeeper Craig Gordon flew to the bottom line. Gordon is the main goalkeeper in Scotland who Keane spent nine million pounds to transfer to before the season. He played in the first game. Sunderland lost Tottenham and won a small goal. His performance was unanimously praised. Then he and Sunderland showed ups and downs...he lost six goals in three consecutive defeats. Only in the last game against Manchester United, he was well received, and the experts' opinion was "If it were not for Gordon, Sunderland would lose five goals."

Dunn has never been optimistic about Gordon, because this goalkeeper lacks the most important element-stability. This person may be able to perform as superbly in one game, but netting three eggs in more games is of no use to the team as a whole.

Okay, now the question is, how will Gordon help me in this game? Or swallow three eggs?

Forest’s Bell went to take a corner kick. He was a left-footed player. He took a corner kick on the right. This ball must be a spin to the goal. The defenders and offensive people were all concentrated in front of the goal, ready to compete for the top. At this moment, Beckham, who was at the far end, suddenly ran over. Is he going to kick it?

No, Bell dialed the football out, and Beckham made a pass without stopping the ball!

The football that was originally inward-spinning became an outward-spinning arc ball, and Sunderland's previous defensive arrangements all failed. Peppa and Van Nistelrooy have also proved to be just a cover, their role is to attract the attention of the opponent's defense, and then create opportunities for teammates who intervene.

Ayala, who was originally wandering on the perimeter, suddenly shot out, he slammed the header in front of everyone...

"The goal is scored! No one thought! Ayala was the goal of this header...Look at the corner kick taken by Beckham, it was aimed at the Argentine defender! 1:0! Nottingham Forest scored at home Lead!"

Positioning is the best way to break the opponent's dense defense.

Seeing the goal conceded, Keane rushed from the coaching bench to the sidelines with some dissatisfaction, and expressed his anger at the missing defender.

And Dunn sat on the coach's bench with his tiresome Erlang legs, leisurely.

After possessing the two great set-piece masters of Bell and Beckham, the Forest team usually puts various tactical exercises of set-pieces in a very important position. This sudden change from a long corner to a short corner is just one of them.

Next, after the lead, the Forest team changed into a strong team and gave up the practice of besieging the opponent in positional warfare. Instead, they recovered in a planned way and dealt with Sunderland in the midfield. Dunn knows that with Keane's character, one goal behind, he will definitely ask the team to press on the goal and bring the disadvantage back. The Forest team also does not reclaim the backcourt, just waiting for Sunderland in the midfield. In terms of midfield strength, Sunderland is not as good as Nottingham Forest.

George Wood is now the hottest defensive midfielder in the Premier League and even European football. I don’t know what Keane feels when he sees the kid who was pointed out by him, and now he is blocking his players vigorously...

Sunderland's offense was too monotonous when facing the Forest team, and his personal skills were completely at a disadvantage. It can be said that Sunderland is now a very typical English football-not the "long pass" tactics, but the emphasis on body and will, but lack of technical characteristics. Under the transformation of Dunn and the foreign legion, the forest team is already at a relatively outstanding level in the Premier League in terms of technology. At the very least, they rarely stop the ball for more than five meters. This is not funny. Sunderland's players frequently make such low-level stops under the pressure of the Forest team. If they can't even stop the ball, what about organizing the offense?

Dunn is not worried about Sunderland's counterattack, because he has carefully studied Keane's team. Keane has been in charge of this team for too short a time, no matter how many grand plans he has in his mind, there is no time for him to implement them one by one. Today Sunderland still retains the style of playing in the British Championship, with body and will first, followed by technology. This set is very easy to eat in the English Championship, but in the higher level of the Premier League, it is not easy to use. If you want to have a big development, a technical route is indispensable, whether it is the artistic flow of Arsenal, the integrated flow of Manchester United, or the "pseudo-technical flow" of other Premier League teams... The technology must be obtained. Pay attention.

The accumulation of individual technical gaps has become a huge gap between the two teams. This gap caused the Forest team to control the pace of the game in front of the game. Sunderland wanted to equalize the score but just thinking about it, quite a bit "feeling weak".

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again. Keane was unwilling to make adjustments to his offense and wanted to forcibly tear apart the forest team's overall defense by strengthening the offense. Helpless, or because the individual gap has accumulated into the gap between the team as a whole, he is weak in recovery.

After the Forest team firmly controlled the tempo of the game, they accompany Sunderland slowly to find a chance... and then a fatal blow.

In the seventeenth and thirty-ninth minutes of the second half, the Forest team played two more cities.

In the end, the score of this game was 3:0, and Nottingham Forest won. Poor Craig Gordon swallowed three eggs again. The goalkeeper, whom Keane looked up to, was a little frustrated after the game.

After the sound of the final whistle, Dunn took the initiative to find Roy Keane to shake hands: "I'm sorry, Roy."

Keane curled his lips: "Come on, Tony. Put away your hypocritical smile, we lost, you won, there is nothing to say."

Dunn opened his hands and looked innocent: "But we always have to behave in front of the media, right?"

Keane, who lost the ball, was not in a good mood, but when he saw Dun En like this, he couldn't help but laughed: "At night, drink at the bar together." He stretched out his hand and held the two hands together.
