Godfather Of Champions

"Just like turkey can't be missing for Christmas Eve dinner, I think the best Christmas gift for Nottingham Forest fans is a victory." Dunn said before the away game against Fulham.

His nonchalant, as expected attitude angered his opponent Fulham.

The home team’s midfielder Simon Davis said: "...If this arrogant man pays for it, Nottingham Forest can't win!"

Fulham, who was aroused full of anger, launched a confrontation with Nottingham Forest at home. Of course, the result was that they "attacked beautifully and died gloriously".

Although Nottingham Forest is no longer the team that was unable to do anything in the face of the enemy's shrinking defense, Dunn still likes to press out his opponents, which can give the Forest team many opportunities for sneak attacks. Fulham was successfully provoked by his psychological warfare and wanted to solve the forest with his home court advantage and omnipotent momentum, but they made the wrong wishful thinking.

Fulham pressed on desperately, almost scoring a goal at the beginning of the game, which inspired their determination to attack.

But in fact, when they calm down, they will find that this is more like a sweet trap.

The Forest was compressed, compressed and compressed by Fulham, and then rebounded sharply. Scored two goals in ten minutes, completely stunned Fulham.

In the end, Nottingham Forest won the home team Fulham 3:1 away, and it really gave their fans a good Christmas gift.

As for Dunn, when he left from London, he was naturally scolded by the Fulhams as bloody. Because he continued to be arrogant in the press conference after the game.

Some people may not understand that since it is just to stimulate the opponent to lose his composure, then after the game is won, there is no need to fight hard. But in Dun En's mind, he believed that "psychological warfare" was a normal state, otherwise it would be easy to see through the opponent. Take Ferguson as an example to see what normality is.

Ferguson is a pretty good old man in private, Dunn knows this well, because they have drunk and raced together. But it was in private, somewhere other than the football field. Once the two sides were about to meet, Ferguson would never let go of the opportunity to stimulate and provoke Dunn by any means. When he ridiculed Dun En, you can't tell that he and Dun En had a private drink together.

In fact, this is the norm. Everyone in the circle knows that Ferguson is good at psychological warfare, but not everyone can ignore his ridicule and provocation, because this has become his character at work, and sometimes you can’t know whether he deliberately provokes you or That's how he treats you. Think of poor Keegan. Of course, some people like to engage in psychological warfare with Ferguson, such as Arsenal Wenger, who has "humiliated each other" for ten years.

Dunn did everything in order to win, what was it for him to lose a little reputation? The good feelings of others for him will not allow him to get three points. So he must portray himself as an arrogant and arrogant character who is not afraid of anyone who dares to provoke—Of course, he also has these flavors in his own character, but it is not as obvious as what he shows. He treats himself a little Some "artistic processing"-in this way, when he intends to provoke an opponent, he will be more deceptive, so that the opponent does not know whether he is real or just a strategy...

Therefore, he was very happy that everyone thought he was an arrogant and powerless arrogant. Such images and rumors will help their opponents make some errors in their judgment...

With three-pointers and Christmas laughter, the bandits of Nottingham Forest returned to their nest...Ah no, the site. In the car back, Dunn announced the holiday arrangements.

"...In the New Year, as usual, we will have an internal party, but we have to wait for next year. We have prepared small gifts for everyone as usual for Christmas, all under the Christmas tree in Vilford. Tomorrow, you will get them yourself. Right. There is only half a day of training on Christmas Eve on the 24th, leave a place for everyone to reunite with family and friends, or relax...whatever you want, but don’t be too crazy, we will have home games on the 26th. Normal training on the 25th . Alright, enjoy this busy holiday!"

At the beginning, the club just prepared a small Christmas tree in the lobby of the training base. The tree was full of gifts, and the boxes were labeled with players' names. This is a small change that Allen made about the club. Dunn thought it was a good idea. So he proposed to do it every year as a tradition in the club. At the same time, he moved the Christmas tree outside, more than doubled. Although the gift is still a small gadget that is not very valuable, the focus is on the mind-not only the players, on the morning of the 25th, all non-player employees of the club will receive a carefully prepared gift by the club. At the same time, those loyal fans who bought the season pass will also take out a greeting card from the mailbox.

After Evan moved into the Forest team, he made many changes, which he and Allen learned from the American NBA club in order to promote and improve the image of Nottingham Forest. In his opinion, he always talks about the long history of the Forest team, and now no one listens at all-who would be interested in the things of the past 100 years? Even if this team is one of the earliest established teams in the world, what's the use? Today's fans only like the teams they like now, such as Chelsea with Mourinho, Barcelona with Ronaldinho, Real Madrid with Beckham... etc.

Allen let this 100-year-old club put down the shelf and take the initiative to be close to the people, and Dunn used continuous victories to cooperate. The image promotion of the New Forest team went very smoothly. Nowadays, letters from clubs all over the world express their affection like snow flakes. The Forest team has added a lot of new fans all over the world. These fans are not in love with the Forest because of their glorious past or long history. Of the team. But just because the team is very strong now, has won the European championship, there is a head coach who looks like an idol, and a lot of well-known stars, so he likes Nottingham Forest, and then in turn discover her history, surprised It turns out that "the ancestors had also been too long", and he strengthened his love for this team. Most foreign fans basically follow this process, whether it is a team that has long been famous in the world and has always been in the front line, or a declining power such as Nottingham Forest.

Teams like Real Madrid have to make movies and play commercial games to promote their brands, not to mention Nottingham Forest.

A game was played on the 22nd, and training on the 23rd was only half a day of training time, and the intensity was not high, mainly focusing on recovering physical fitness. After all, the schedule during this time is intensive, and there is no need and effect to increase the amount in training.

After a day of training, Dunn wandered around in the training base. He was not taking a walk, but greeting his colleagues who were getting along day and night, wishing them Merry Christmas in advance, and then handing out greeting cards that he paid for. This gift is not the same as the gift provided by the club. The club is a method used by the club to win people's hearts, and the greeting card in Dun En's hand is his own method to win people's hearts. He knows that he has some shortcomings. Without the help of these colleagues, he would not be able to lead the team to this day. Maybe Evan would be fired halfway through. So on this Christmas Eve, he must thank his colleagues for helping him.

Nottingham Forest is a united team. This unity must be reflected not only in the players' locker room, but also in the coaching staff and other staff.

Team doctors, physical therapists, youth team coaches, reserve coaches, goalkeeper coaches, physical fitness coaches, tactical coaches, assistant coaches... even the workers who maintain the turf of the training ground and the security guards at the gate all received greeting cards from Dunn, and Thank you letter, thank them for their work and hard work within a year, thank them for their help.

The outside world said that Tony Dunn was a demon who could do no evil and could even betray his conscience for victory. To be honest, the people in Vilford were initially surprised by these claims, but then they disdaind it. Because the Tony Dunn in their eyes has nothing to do with the uncultivated bastard...

After sending out all the greeting cards in his hand, he and Tang walked back to their office together, packed up and prepared to go home.

At the door he saw George Wood who had been waiting for a long time.

Dunn and Tang were not surprised at Wood's appearance here. They both knew why Wood came to look for.

"Actually, you only need to make a phone call, George..." Walking to the front, Dunn opened the door and said to Wood next to him.

"I think it's more formal to talk in person."

Tang has been listening to such questions and answers for two years. And he felt that as long as he continued to work in this club, as long as George Wood and Tony Dunn were still in this team, then he would continue to hear.

"Okay, whatever you want." Dunn shrugged and pushed the door in.

Wood followed them in, stood still and said, "My mother invites you to have dinner together tomorrow night."

Dunn turned around, walked around behind the desk, and nodded to Wood: "Okay, Tang and I will be there in time."

Just as the club’s distribution of Christmas gifts to everyone is a tradition that the club intends to adhere to for a long time in the future, Dunn and Tang choose one night before Christmas every year to have dinner at Wood’s home, which also hopes to become a long-term “tradition”. ——Everyone neglected the reality that Wood’s mother was not well.

After completing the task, Wood turned to leave, Dunn called him again: "Merry Christmas, George."

When Wood heard him say this, he froze for a while and then said: "It's only twenty-three days now."

Dunn's eyes stared: "I can't greet you in advance!"

"Yes. Merry Christmas, Boss."

Seeing the two of them like this, the corners of Tang's mouth, who stood beside him silently, rose slightly.

※※※

The training atmosphere on the 24th was very relaxed. Only some simple tactical drills were carried out. Everyone on the training ground was in a good mood. Dunn was also joking with the people around him. The laughter and laughter rang out. Christmas is coming soon. That's it...

During the holidays, everyone just wants to be happy. If you have troubles, leave it to next year. Besides, there are not many people in the Forest team who feel annoyed.

After training in the morning, even if you go on vacation. Dunn and Tang went to the bustling business district in the city center to buy gifts for Sophia, and Dunn also wanted to buy a large Totoro doll for Shania.

In the evening, the two rang the doorbell in front of George Wood's house on time.

It was not George Wood or Sophia who opened the door, but...Billy Woods.

"Yo, Mr. Dunn, Merry Christmas!" Looking at the expression on Dunn's face, Wooks smiled happily. Next, he turned to Tang, the smile on his face weakened a lot, becoming normal politeness. "Mr. Tang, Merry Christmas."

Dunn didn't go in, he frowned and asked: "Why are you here?"

The smile on Woux’s face changed again: “Why can’t I be here? As George’s agent, after a busy year, it’s normal for him to invite me to have a meal, right?”

But there is indeed another reason in Dunn's heart at this time-George Wood and Billy Woods are related by blood...

This old man!

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Woods. I hope you won't trouble me next year." Dunn stepped in with a stern face.

"I can't guarantee this, Mr. Dunn. You know, I must consider it for George's benefit. You have your position, and I have my position." Woods opened his hands.

In the year that is about to pass, Woods signed only three contracts with George Wood, but unlike those stars who endorsed more than a dozen companies in one go, the three endorsements Wood endorsed were not just random little ones. Characters-Gillette razor, Armani menswear and Pepsi. Counting Nike signed a year ago, George Wood now has only four commercial contracts. This is obviously different from what Woods told Dunn before he became Wood's agent, when Dunn thought that Woods would drown George with various commercial contracts.

Now he can see that Woods has made a very detailed plan for George Wood, and with his taste and status, he will not sign any brand. His conditions for selecting sponsors can be called harsh. This is why Wood has only four commercial contracts until now.

Of course, this is what Dunn personally hopes to see, so that Wood does not have to frequently attend various business activities and ignore his own work on the football field.

Walking in from the outside, Dunn saw Sophia who was greeted.

She was paler than when she was last seen. When was the last time I saw her specifically? The end of last season.

"Mr. Tang En, Merry Christmas. Mr. Tang, Merry Christmas!" Sophia greeted warmly.

Dunn handed over the gifts that he and Tang had chosen for her: "Merry Christmas, madam." He didn't give Wux a gift, because he didn't expect Wux to come back, and even if he knew it, he probably wouldn't buy it. of.

Wookes didn't care, he walked in and helped Wood set the table.

Tang also immediately followed up.

Suddenly, in the living room outside, only Dunn and Sophia, who was holding the gift unopened, were left.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Dunn." Sophia greeted again, this time alone. She looked at the man before her with a smile.

Dunn scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, but he still responded with a smile: "Merry Christmas, Madam."

"Is your health okay?" he added.

"Fortunately, but not too tired." Sophia nodded, and she added. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Dunn."

No one can find the topic to continue. Although the three people in the dining room behind are busy, the two people in the living room are silent for a while.

Sophia was the first to recover, she took her eyes away from the present in her hand. "Is Shania okay?"

Dunn nodded: "Ah, fortunately...that is, I am busy with work recently."

Sophia smiled: "She is a world-class model, of course she will be busy at this time. But... Christmas can only be celebrated by herself. Even if she is a world-class model, I don't think Shania is so good?"

"Yes, she keeps saying that she can't eat turkey with everyone, which makes her very unhappy."

If you want to see it, you will be silent again, and at this time Wood walked out of it.

"Mom." He stood beside Sophia, looking at Dunn in front of him.

"Ah, it's time for dinner. Mr. Dunn, please go in." Sophia made a please gesture.

Dunn let out a sigh of relief. Sophia left first, but George Wood stopped and waited for Dunn.

"Is there anything, George?" Dunn noticed this.

Wood shook his head. He just looked at his head coach and had nothing to say.

"I just forgot... Merry Christmas, George." Dunn said to Wood again.

"You said yesterday." Wood was expressionless.

"Well, happy Christmas Eve." Dunn shrugged.

Then he walked straight into the restaurant regardless of what Wood looked at him.

Putting aside the little episode before, this dinner is still very happy. This was also the first time Dunn had dinner with Wookes. Although they would quarrel at the table, everyone knew that it was a joke.

This is an amazing experience for both parties.

Because Dunn and Wookes were definitely on opposite sides, if it were an office now, they would definitely try their best to embarrass each other. But today is Christmas Eve, and everyone seems to be peaceful. Just when they were clinking glasses together, Wooks blinked at Dunn, making him feel a bitter cold behind him.

※※※

After dinner, Dunn took Tang hastily to leave. "I don't want to stay with this Wooks for too long." This was the reason he told Tang.

But in fact... it was another person who embarrassed him...

On the way home, Dunn received a call from Shania: "I'm in the United States now, but I have calculated the time. You haven't slept yet, Uncle Tony?"

"Of course not." Dunn glanced at Tang who was narrating you, and then smiled. "How about in America?"

"It's okay... I met some people, met some people, that's it."

If Dunn closed his eyes, he could see Shania shrugging beside him.

"It's a plain life..."

"It's going to be busy after the New Year." Shania was not very emotional. "Ah, I'm busy. Finally... Happy Christmas Eve, Uncle Tony!"

"Happy Christmas Eve, Shania."

Dunn hung up the phone and looked at Tang next to him.

"This year is complete..." (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support authors, support genuine reading!)
