Godfather Of Champions

The media are still making various speculations about the conflict between Zimbonda and Bendtner during the training, hoping to get live video. Because everyone knows that the forest team has the habit of video recording.

Sometimes, they can get some training videos through insiders with better relationships. But this time, they all hit a wall. Those who have a better relationship with the media told them that Dunn took the videotape of the fight after it happened, and no one would give it to him. As for where he put it, no one knew.

Dunn doesn't want the media to continue speculating about this past thing. The atmosphere of the team has finally become normal. This situation must be maintained. So he left behind all the speculations of the English media and took the team away from England and went to Turkey.

Nottingham Forest will face a very important game next. This game will be related to whether his team can take the first step to qualify for the group, and whether it can silence the media behind him. As long as the results are not good, the paparazzi will dig out any contradiction, but as long as they win the ball, then any contradiction is not a contradiction and there is no problem with any problem.

This is the only truth in competitive sports-victory conceals everything.

Having said so many good things, in fact this game is not easy to play, or...very hard to play.

Besiktas is not a weak team that can be dealt with casually, and the crazy atmosphere of Turkey's home court is world-famous. Britain and Turkey have had grievances in football. A few years ago, fans of Leeds United were stabbed to death by Turkish fans in Istanbul. When the English national team played against the Turkish national team, Beckham missed a penalty and was hit by Turkish player Al. Pai's provocation, after the game, caused the two teams to fight each other in the locker room passage. Al Pai, who provoked the incident, even lost his job for this-he was swept out by the Aston Villa he was playing for.

The media have revealed the unbeatable old accounts of the Forest Team, as well as the news of the recent fight between Zimbanda and Bendtner, to prove that the Forest Team is full of contradictions and panic, and how the trip to Turkey was so bad. ...

Don't care about it. What the outside world says, as long as it doesn't affect your team, it's fine. And... from another perspective, he is eager for the English media to hype it up. Because it will confuse its opponent in this game, the Turks.

※※※

Besiktas is a strong team in the Turkish League and a team that often participates in the European League. In Turkey, they stand side by side with Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, and are a strong team representing the strength of Turkish football. At the same time, their home stadium, Inonu Stadium, is also commonly used by the Turkish national team and is known as the "devil's home stadium" in European football.

Istanbul is a city that straddles two continents. It has been called "Constantinople" by Westerners before. It was the capital of the Ottoman Turk Empire. This country once brought blood and war to the European continent. At its greatest, they used the Mediterranean Sea as their inner lake. There have been several "yellow perils" that have made Europeans talk about it, and one of them originated from the Osmarian Turkish Empire's conquest of Europe.

The predecessor of this country planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of Westerners, and the football atmosphere of this country also made Westerners feel fear. In England, the football hooligans may have changed because of drinking too much. But in Turkey, the fans here are enthusiastic enough without drinking. In the football circle, the atmosphere of a certain stadium is described as "the home of the devil". But for the Turkish stadium, perhaps the "Hell Home" will be more vivid.

From the moment Nottingham Forest landed, it fully felt the enthusiasm of Turkish fans——

"Go back crying, England bastard!"

This is a banner that appears on the highway from the airport to the hotel where you are staying. There are every distance. There is absolutely no need to worry about the forest team players not seeing it. Turkey’s radical fans firmly believe that doing so can make England’s teams feel tremendous psychological pressure, so that they can play abnormally when playing against their teams.

In fact, the players of the Forest team did see it too, but it is unclear whether they really think like the Turkish fans hoped.

Before departure, the British TV station BBC made a special album to introduce the style of Turkish fans, and solemnly warned those Nottingham Forest fans who are going to Istanbul with the Forest team, do not go out alone at night, it is best not to go out with your companions, usually Don't go to crowded places and stay away from bars. Finally, follow the team organized by the Forest Club to act together.

The schedule of the cheer group organized by Nottingham Forest Club for fans is as follows:

On the morning of the game, take a flight from London to Istanbul, eat and act together. After watching the game in the evening, immediately fly back to London.

In this way, the fans are not given time to spend the night in Turkey, which greatly improves safety. However, many fans who like free activities and consider going abroad to watch football as a travel feel that it is a restriction of personal freedom, they can do nothing except watch the game.

Not only the Nottingham Forest Club, but all other English clubs do this. On the one hand, from the perspective of cost saving, on the other hand, on the other hand, for the safety of the fans-English fans have become the target of public criticism abroad. The frequent occurrence of fan conflicts and riots has forced many clubs to consider the safety of their supporters.

This is actually a general contradiction. Fans want more freedom. After all, no one wants to spend one time abroad on airplanes or buses. But the clubs are not willing to cause trouble to themselves because of any negative events. In addition, such an arrangement can indeed save the club a lot of money...

Taking into account the particularity of this place in Turkey, before the departure, Dunn also published an open letter to the fans on the club’s official website, suggesting that fans who want to go to Turkey by themselves dispel this idea and follow the club’s organization of cheer groups. action.

"...I fully understand your feelings, but for football or tourism, life is obviously more important. Neither I nor the players want to hear the bad news of the supporters' trouble after winning the game. Gavin Bernard The matter should not be repeated for Nottingham Forest fans. Therefore, I sincerely hope that the fans can follow the club’s cheering team to come to Turkey... Don’t worry about what happens if the team that arrives in Istanbul early does not have their own cheers, I want What I can tell you is that our players will not be affected by those messy things...So, please be safe after you come to Istanbul!"

He said this very sincerely, so many people finally gave up their plans to come to Turkey and chose to follow the club's cheering team to come to Istanbul on the day of the match. After all, what happened to Gavin Bernard is almost a household tragedy in Nottingham, and no one wants his children or himself to be the protagonist of the next tragedy.

Because of this, Nottingham Forest arrived in Istanbul for a day and a half. Except for the media reporters and a few Forest fans who came here to cover the game, they never saw the British again.

But I fully appreciate what is called "the enthusiasm of the host."

The hotel they were arranged to stay in was in the downtown area of ​​Istanbul, and when they were resting in the evening, they could hear the Turkish fans' carnival all night. This is obviously to stimulate the forest team and interfere with their rest. Everything is for the team you support to win the next day's game.

Chris Lak once negotiated with the person in charge of the hotel, but the other party had two hands: "The private actions of the fans, our hotel is also helpless, not to mention that they are all on the street outside the hotel... We can't control it if we want to. ."

The team called and warned these people to disturb the people. As a result, the gang ran away before the police arrived. After the police arrived, they pretended to turn around, and then said to the forest team, "I didn't see the people you mentioned." Then they withdrew. It didn't take long before this group of people came back, singing Turkish songs below, which sounded like fan songs cheering for Besiktas. Of course, insults to the Forest team and the **** are naturally mixed.

Dunn was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep because of the noise of the singing downstairs. He got up and walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked down.

The glass windows were completely closed, but they still couldn't stop the deliberate noise made by these lunatics.

The group of people lit fireworks, waved the black and white flags representing Besiktas, sang loudly, cursed when they were tired, and kept pointing their middle fingers to the hotel if they saw any window lit up. With the lights, these fans will cheer for victory, and then make more noise. Under the shining of the street lamps and the fireworks in their hands, Dunn clearly saw the wine bottles scattered all over the floor.

It's really Turkey...

He tilted his head, completely unable to see the situation in the next room. But he knows that this level of noise will definitely affect the team. Some people are inherently nervous and can sleep to death when thundering occurs, while others are nervous and can wake them up from their sleep with a little noise.

The Forest Team has both.

Dunn felt that he really had nothing to do with this situation. Even if he knocks on the door from room to room, asking the players to ignore the noise outside and sleep peacefully, it will not help. The one who shouldn't be able to sleep still can't fall asleep, the one who was asleep may have been woken up by him. Feeding sleeping pills? Even worse, if something is unfavorable to the Forest team after the urine test, you tell them that it is because you can't sleep at night and eat some tranquilizers. Will they listen?

So... this trick of Turkish fans is really poisonous and it makes opponents helpless.

Dunn stood in front of the window and watched for a while. His face was expressionless throughout the whole process. From the expression alone, others could not tell whether he was angry or helpless at this moment.

Turkish fans are still tossing, Dunn decided not to play with them. Their purpose is to make the forest team awake, if you stand here and fight with them, you will be caught in the tricks of these people.

Dunn went back to bed, put IPOD's headphones into his ears, and fell asleep listening to the music.

He is somewhere between a nervous system and a nervous breakdown.

※※※

When eating breakfast the next day, Dunn was always observing the mental state of the players, yawning for days does not mean that he did not rest well at night, maybe he just got up and his spirit has not recovered. People who have not slept well have a haggard face and dark circles under their eyes. Dunn noticed such a few people, he was thinking about whether to start a few of these people in the evening game.

Gareth Bale is obviously one of these people. He lowered his head when eating breakfast, and looked listless and didn't seem to have any appetite. Some mechanically used a fork to pull the fruit salad on the plate.

There are several like him, including... team assistant coach David Chris Lak.

"Good morning, Tony..." David Chris Luck carried the dinner plate and languidly went to the coaching staff table.

"You didn't sleep well at night." Dunn glanced at his plate. There was very little food on it. It seemed that Chris Lak had no appetite to eat.

"Did you sleep well?"

"It's okay." Dunn shrugged, "I fell asleep while listening to music."

Hearing Dunn's words, Chris Lak sighed: "You can still fall asleep if you have a sound in your ear... I can't have any other sounds, otherwise it's like this." He opened his eyelids and told Dunn Look at the bloodshot eyeballs.

"It's pitiful." Tang En smacked his lips. "What is our plan for the morning?"

"Go to the stadium for the last training to adapt to the site." Tang next to him replied.

"Cancel." Dunn waved the fork in his hand, "Let the whole team go to sleep. Shouldn't those idiots come here to make a noise during the day?"

"It was very noisy during the day. This is a downtown area." Tang reminded him.

"But our players must have enough sleep, otherwise, they will be unconscious during the night game. Moreover, I think it sounds noisy at night because the group of idiots deliberately made a lot of noise. Those sounds are silent. It’s very clear in the middle of the night. But during the day...Everyone is used to this level of noise, and maybe they don’t feel how noisy it is now. People who don’t sleep well at night are not energetic. I think they fall asleep as soon as they fall in bed. I don’t care about the noise outside. I think it’s someone who can’t fall asleep at night like me.” Dunn blinked at Chris Lak, as if to show off that he could sleep in such a noisy environment. The skill. "You have to go to sleep."

"But... we have already agreed with the Besiktas club in advance that they will open the stadium in the morning for us to conduct adaptive training..."

Dunn waved his hand: "Then let them wait on the court. My team's business is the biggest, their business...well, I can't control it."

He was a little headstrong. To say that I was tossed all night and there was no gas at all, that was an inflatable doll. Dun En naturally had a fire in his heart, and it was not small, but he didn't want to be too excited in front of his own people, otherwise he would be confused. But he didn't care if he had a chance to take revenge on the Turks. Although what happened last night may have nothing to do with the Besiktas Club, and it has nothing to do with the poor stadium administrator. But Dunn equated all Turks at this moment.

So when the reporters gathered at the Inonu Stadium, preparing to shoot the Forest Team for field adaptation training, the Forest Team players slept soundly in their hotel rooms. The poor reporters waited for half an hour, never waiting for the arrival of Nottingham Forest.

Dozens of reporters were left in the air by Tang En for the whole morning. The sun was shining and it was surprisingly hot in late October... (To be continued, if you want to know what happened, please visit www.qidian.com for more chapters. Support the author, support genuine reading!)
