Godfather Of Champions

Tony Dunn did not attend the press conference after the game, which does not prevent Italian reporters from laughing at him in the media. Look at the way they gloated, as if Nottingham Forest had been eliminated. However, these attacks were of little effect to Dunn, because he never cared about what the Italian media said every day, and he could not read Italian.

Despite this, his mood is still not getting better. After all, if there is a group of flies always humming in your ears, you will feel bored, although you never understand what the flies are "buzzing"-first In the second round, they are going to challenge AC Milan away. Dunn can already imagine how he will face the indiscriminate bombardment of the Italian media when he sets foot on Italian soil.

Some things can't be escaped. This time he used his illness as an excuse to hide. What about next time in Italy?

There is only one way to prevent this tragedy from happening, and that is to defeat AC Milan and throw the tragedy to the Italians.

In the Champions League did not achieve the desired results, fortunately, in the domestic league Nottingham Forest achieved a winning streak. On February 23, they defeated Derby County 3:0 at home, and they beat Manchester City 1-0 on March 1, completely returning Eriksson's team to their original shape.

In any case, the former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the boss of Manchester City, is now caught in the quagmire of a domestic lawsuit, and he has not bothered to pay attention to his team record.

It was under such circumstances that Nottingham Forest Club welcomed several guests from the far east.

The winners of the "Football" talent show came to Nottingham Forest to officially begin their one-year training career.

Two people in the younger group and one person in the older group. The three were brought by Alan Adams.

Along with them are several staff of Hunan TV Station. They will do several programs covering the daily life and training of teenagers in the UK, which will be broadcast in China, as the "Football Boys" talent show will continue to give play to its residual heat. Method.

Dunn had no objection to this. Anyway, the place where these three people were trained was in the youth team. The media had to toss and toss the youth team. It was really deserted there, and more popularity was a good thing. Just don't come to the first team to interfere with his work. The only dissatisfaction may be that Tang Hui was dragged for several interviews.

"They arrive at Vilford at about 2:45 in the afternoon, and then you have to meet them and say something..." With a notebook in his hand, Tang was reading one by one to Dunn. This is Tang Well, today's work schedule.

Originally there was no such thing, but today is special. The club is afraid of something wrong with Dun En, so he specially arranged a schedule for him. Tang is familiar with this thing, because his previous life basically came from this way.

"Say something?" Tang En looked away from the computer screen and looked up at Tang sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite. He is playing minesweeper to pass the boring time of waiting. The computer is still loaded with the latest FM football manager game, but once the game is played, he will put it in, and he can't hear what people outside are saying.

The training ground outside the window behind him was empty, there was no one, and it was not time to train in the afternoon.

"Whatever." Tang replied.

"That's not written on it?" Tang En sneered. He hates this kind of schedule and makes him feel like a prisoner who has lost his freedom.

"No, you can play freely, even if you want to say bad things about the club, or scare those kids into tears. But..." Tang looked at him and said, "You have to bear the consequences once."

"I'm not that stupid..." Dunn mumbled. "Say something like a beautiful scene like'Welcome to the glorious Nottingham Forest.' I know this."

Tang nodded and continued to read.

"The media from China will gather together for a filming of this meeting, and then there will be a short interview of about five minutes...for you," he added.

Dunn felt strange: "Isn't it interviewing you?"

"You are the person in charge here." Tang said something that made Tang En feel very comfortable.

"Uh huh."

"Basically, that's it." Tang closed his notebook and handed him to Dunn. "Do you want to watch it again?"

Dunn took it and put it directly on the table: "No need, just to see a few draft winners, not to meet the queen, but to be so formal."

Tang smiled: "Then do you want to say something after meeting them?"

"No need, just say it casually, for example...the weather is nice today, it's very windy and sunny..." Tang En spread his hands.

"Aren't you looking forward to seeing Chen Jian? He is so excited to meet you-he is your fan."

"He..." Dunn leaned back in the chair and looked up at the ceiling. "I don't want him to have any unrealistic fantasies."

While the two were chatting, the beautiful Miss Barbara Lucy knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Tang." She first nodded and greeted Tang who was sitting on the side, and Tang responded.

Then she looked at Dunn: "Mr. Dunn, they are here."

Dunn listened carefully, and indeed vaguely heard some noise coming from the gate of the training base. So he frowned and asked, "Are there many people?"

"Fifteen reporters from China, four local reporters from Nottingham, and a BBC television interview team, and three contestants." Barbara Lucy reported the number very accurately.

"Thank you, Miss Lucy." Dunn nodded and thanked. At the same time he got up from his seat, "Let's go, Don."

※※※

When the three people came to the gate of the Vilford training base, many people were already surrounded there. Except for some reporters, more are ordinary fans who come here to watch the team's training and ask for autographs from the stars. When they hit such a strange thing, they naturally want to come up and watch.

"I haven't got any results yet, I have become a star." Dunn shrugged, slightly dissatisfied.

Tang laughed beside him and did not make any comments.

Miss Barbara Lucy said from the perspective of her work: "Isn't this what Mr. Adams wants to see? Do you want to go up?" she asked.

Dunn shook his head and stood still. "No, let's take a look here, no one has found us anyway."

So the three people watched quietly in an inconspicuous corner.

Alan Adams is receiving a follow-up interview with BBC TV. The interviewer was a young female reporter. His doll has a gentle smile on his face, which is very friendly. It's not because the opposite is a woman, this is his usual expression. The opponents who played against him for the first time would despise him because of his looks and expressions, and wait until the end to find that they have suffered a great loss...

Allen himself said that he likes to laugh, not because it can make him feel happy, but because he can squint his eyes and hide the shrewdness that doesn't match the baby's face... This is too cunning.

Others are scrambling to show their own shrewdness and show great anger at others despising themselves, but Alan Adams has realized the realm of "great wisdom is like foolishness".

Dunn took his gaze away from Alan. This person with his head full of currency symbols was nothing good. He noticed the three Chinese teenagers standing next to Alan Adams. They stood side by side under the team logo carved in the Nottingham Forest outside the gate of the training base, making victory gestures and letting the excited reporters take pictures.

Seeing this scene, he grinned. I'm not here to travel. Do you want to take a group photo? Do you want to turn around and write "So-and-so here for a visit"?

"Mr. Dunn, is it all right?" Miss Barbara Lucy urged beside her.

Dunn nodded: "Okay, let's go up." He shook his head and walked out first.

The appearance of Tony Dunn and assistant coach Tang caused some small commotion at the scene-not from the media, but three small players. It can be seen from their excited faces that they are very excited to see the legendary madman coach.

Alan Adams's favorite smile appeared on Dunn's face. He greeted the three children very warmly and kindly: "Hi, how are you. Guests from the far east." He speaks Chinese.

Although everyone knows that Dunn can speak fluent Chinese, hearing him say this to himself face to face is enough to make the three children happy for a while.

Seeing the expressions on the children's faces, why didn't Dun En know what they were happy about?

Do you think that having a head coach who can speak Chinese is much easier to communicate and can take advantage of it? If you really think so, you would be wrong, boys! This is the United Kingdom, and the official language here does not include Chinese.

If there were not so many reporters around, and only him and these three children, Dunn would have blurted out the above remarks. But now, if he really said it, Alan Adams, whose original expression on his face was "it's dawn", would definitely be "dark" in an instant...

He didn't want to prevent Alan from stepping down in front of so many people.

So the kind smile on his face remained undiminished, even thicker. The only difference is that he no longer speaks Chinese, but speaks in English, and Tang is in charge of translating into Chinese.

"I'm glad you are here, kids. Tang and I have been waiting for a long time..." Yeah, waiting until I was bored to the point of playing minesweeper on the office computer. "It's nice to meet you." He opened his arms and made a welcome gesture.

"China has no reason to entertain guests outside the home, so please come in." The group was let into the training base. The next step is to take them to the training ground. Here, Dunn wants to send a message to the three children, and accept another interview, his task is completed. There is a special person in charge of taking the children to the training facility, and there is no need for the head coach of the first team to come in person.

A group of people stopped by the grassy training field.

In fact, if we really want to talk about the future, the younger two players in the junior group are more worthy of everyone’s attention. After all, they are young, there is room for training and upgrading, and their selection is more professional, not to satisfy the TV audience. Do some gimmicks. However, since the younger group did not conduct any live TV broadcasts, it is not as popular as the older group. Therefore, Chen Jian, the third place in the senior group, is still the focus of media attention.

Now, he was standing in front of Dunn, looking nervously at this legendary coach with a bad temper.

"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you." Dunn saw the boy's emotions at this time, and he smiled. Yes, you are still not my soldier, so naturally I will not do anything to you. If you want to be murdered by me, it depends on the qualifications.

Before Tang could translate, Chen Jian nodded, obviously he understood.

Dunn is a little interested in this.

"Can you understand what I said?"

"One point, just one point." Chen Jian replied in English that is not very proficient and has a strong Chinese school style. For Chen Jian, it would be nice to understand a little bit. Because of the traditional Chinese English education, he has strong literacy skills, but weak listening and speaking skills, coupled with Dunn’s English with a rural accent in Nottingham... The English tutoring that Chen Jian did during the general training camp played a little role. .

Dunn remembered that this man was a college student, and nodded suddenly. He glanced at the reporters who were shooting nearby. What were they expecting? Want to hear me say some beautiful words to satisfy the audience?

Ah, I'm so sorry. I just plan to talk about something practical...

"Well, listen, boy. I won't say anything about those beautiful scenes. You have traveled all the way to England and you don't want to hear some lie, right?"

Chen Jian nodded: "No... sir."

"Very good, then let's talk about something practical. You will be here...no, you are there." He pointed to the north side, "for a year of training. It's not a commercial show training, it's real. The youth team training of the English Football Club. There are millions of children in England who are doing exactly the same training as you. If you can pass these training and tests, it means you have the ability to play professional football. If you can’t pass , Then..." Dunn clapped his hands, Tang's translation is "one shot and two scattered".

This time Chen Jian nodded vigorously. He came for the dream of having the opportunity to play professional football, so if the training content is just for show, he might as well not come. Since it is here, it is necessary to receive the most formal training.

"I hope you have this kind of psychological preparation, because the content of the training will be very difficult, and now it is too late to regret it."

Chen Jian shook his head: "I can't give up, sir."

"Well, once you choose to join, unless you are eliminated by us, you are not allowed to give up. You have to stick to it. Do you understand, Chen Jian?" Tang En said with a straight face and seriously.

"I understand, sir." Chen Jian's expression and content also made Chen Jian serious, and the same person answered genuinely.

Tang was a little strange when translating these words. Why should Dunn repeatedly emphasize that these training contents are difficult? As far as he knows, the youth team training is not as intensive as the first team... is it scary?

"Okay, good luck." You really need some good luck... Dunn added this sentence in his heart. After that, he ignored Chen Jian and turned to talk to the other two children. This time the expression on his face eased a lot.

After completing his task, Dunn was pulled by the reporters for an interview. Everyone's concerns are the same-whether these Chinese teenagers really have a chance to become an official member of the forest team in a year. Because one of the publicity stunts of the "Football" talent show is that if a young player performs extremely well during the one-year training period, he has the opportunity to become an official member.

Before he heard the question, Dunn shook his head and poured cold water on everyone. "If you can become a professional player in such a simple way, then clubs all over the UK should abandon their youth training program and go to draft with the media. I just hope they can learn something during this year and feel something at the same time. These things are right. Their future life path should be helpful. Maybe..." Seeing the disappointment that can't be concealed on these people's faces, Dunn thought for a while and added, "...I mean maybe, after a year of experience here. Training, they can become a professional player elsewhere in the world. I know that China also has a professional league. But here..."

He shook his head again.

"Okay, thank you very much for your attention, but now I have to go back to prepare for the afternoon team training, I'm sorry." He waved to the reporters, refused to answer other questions, squeezed out, and threw everything here. Tang.

Is there anyone here who is better suited to guide a group of "curious babies" from China than Tang, a Chinese assistant coach?

※※※

Accompanied by the media, Tang took them to visit the various training facilities of the Forest Team. Then Miss Barbara Lucy came forward to tell the reporters that the filming was over. Because the training of the first team is about to begin. Coach Dunn doesn't want to have such multimedia wandering in the training base when the team is training. Barbara Lucy has changed the saying that will not make the media feel uncomfortable. Anyway, I hope you can support and cooperate. This concludes today's interview...

After the reporters were unwilling to disperse, they also took photos of the first team stars who drove to the training base to start training.

And Tang took the three children to the youth team training base in the north. There is no noisy and annoying media around, and there are no Alan Adams and Barbara Lucy, just the four of them. There is no translation, because Tang himself can be a translator.

Of course, when this group of boys walked north through the training base, they inevitably encountered some first-team players, all of whom were familiar names and faces. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw one. Only Chen Jian was more mature, because he was the oldest of the three.

"Wow! It's Fannier!"

"Ribery! Ribery!"

"Pepe! That's amazing!"

Fortunately, they did not see Beckham, otherwise they would definitely rush to ask for an autograph.

Chen Jian didn't speak, nor looked around, just bowed his head and followed Tang and walked towards the youth training base.

When walking out of the first team training base, the two children were still discussing the stars they saw just now, but Chen Jian looked up and asked Tang who was walking in front of him.

"Don... Coach."

"What's the matter, Chen Jian?" Tang just turned his head and didn't stop.

"May I ask you a question?"

"of course."

"That, doesn't Coach Dunn...do not like me?"

Tang was taken aback by this question and then reacted. Obviously, this kid was frightened by Dun En's serious attitude. He remembered Dunn’s views on the draft show and his stubborn character before, so he just smiled: "No, he just treats everyone like this, he is a strict head coach..."

"But I see some reports that he treats his players very well..."

"Then are you his player now?" Tang asked.

This time it was Chen Jian's turn to froze.

He is a smart man, he wants to understand. Then the smile returned to his face: "I see, Coach Tang."

Tang's hand lightly patted his shoulder: "Train well, don't think about anything else." (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support Genuine reading!)
