Godfather Of Champions

Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest’s second round of the semi-final of the League One semi-final has been in for more than ten minutes, and the score on the field has not changed at all. Although the Forest team showed admirable fighting spirit, Sheffield United coach Neil Warnock (Neil`Warnock) was clearly prepared. Dunn is studying his team, and they are also studying his team.

Marlon Heilwood received the attention of the Sheffield United defenders. Phil`Jagielka, who was originally a defensive midfielder, was specially placed as a central defender by coach Warnock in this game. In the position of, there is only one purpose-to defend against the silver boot shooters of the League One this season.

Don't look at Jakinika's only 20 years old, he has played a complete League One. And has become the core of the team's midfield defense. He can play any position on the back line. Dunn recognizes this person. Although he rarely pays attention to the games of weak teams when watching the Premier League, he still strives to watch every game of strong teams. In the last round of the Premier League match in 2006, Wenger's Arsenal once lost 0:1 to Sheffield United at the time. In the last 31 minutes of the game, the person who guarded the team's gate was This Phil Jakirka in front of me. That game may have been the longest time a non-goalkeeper has been on goal. Dunn also remembered this somewhat slurred name.

Now that he is active here at the center back, blocking Heilwood's offense again and again, what can Dunn say besides lamenting that he has run into such a difficult opponent?

Another headache for Dunn is Sheffield United’s main midfielder Michael. Tonge (Michael`Tonge). This Manchester United apprentice three years ago has now grown into the core of Sheffield United’s midfielder. It all revolves around him. He passes, tackles, organizes offenses, and even completes a fatal blow himself. He has played forty-four times this season and scored six goals. But he is best at dribbling.

He and Jakirka are both members of the England Under-21 National Team.

The two of them are also the biggest contributors to Sheffield United's ability to enter the play-offs.

Of course, the person who makes Dunn feel the most difficult is not on the court, but the Sheffield United coach Neil Warnock sitting on the coach's bench.

This 54-year-old man is a native of Sheffield, full of flowers and rich experience. This old coach is also an outspoken temperament person. He and Dunn’s coaching style are somewhat similar. He likes to stand on the sidelines and direct the game. He occasionally returns to the coaching bench. In the 90-minute game, his endless swear words can even cover up. The singing of 30,000 fans in the stands of Balamore Lane.

Looking at Sheffield United’s highly targeted tactics, Dunn knew that he had encountered a powerful opponent. It is no accident that the team can lose to Sheffield United three times in a season. Even if he was himself, he also lost two battles under this man.

Nottingham Forest’s outstanding performance in the second half of the season is largely related to their main striker Marlon Heilwood. Dunn also saw Heilwood’s condition is good, and he simply used him as the core of the attack to arrange tactics. Heilwood’s skills are exquisite. , The physical condition is also very good, with him as the core so that the opposing defender often suffers, but also can not prevent him from frequent goals. Coupled with another extremely fast David Johnson, this pair has become the most successful and sharp striker combination of the season after the end of the season. They scored a total of 46 goals. You must know this The Nottingham Forest team only scored 83 goals this season. Portsmouth is the sharpest attacking team this season, they scored 97 goals, and Nottingham Forest ranked second.

But now the most lethal combination of strikers has lost their way in Sheffield United's defense and has completely lost their power.

However, the opponent is powerful, and Dunn, who has been tempered for half a season, is not vegetarian anymore. He has always thought that he is a "natural coach". If he changes career to other jobs, he will definitely get mixed up, but he has a high talent as a coach. Who said that only players need talent?

As mentioned before, the core of the Sheffield United team is their midfielder, Michael Tonkey, who initiates almost 60% of the offense. Dunn did not send veteran Ian Jess and Gareth Williams in this game, the pair who had started most of the season, but instead used a younger midfield combination.

The four midfielders stand in parallel, from left to right, Andy Reid, Rich Smeka, Eugen Pope, and Brian Cash. In the mid lane, Dunn did not set up an attacking midfielder, but instead had two defensive midfielders guarding the center area of ​​the court. The meaning couldn't be more obvious-using the defensive ability of Eugen Pope and Rich Smeka to curb Xie The activities of Field's midfield, especially the core midfielder Michael Tonkey, should not allow him to play.

The tactical arrangements of the two coaches were very targeted. The result of this was that for fifteen minutes into the game, no one had a better chance. Most of the time, they competed repeatedly near the midfield. The defenses of Pope and Smeca made Tonchi and Michael Brown (Michael`Brown) very uncomfortable, and they couldn't organize an effective offense.

"I admit that Coach Dunn arranged two young men who rarely start in the league to surprise first, and the effect is also very good. But the price of this is to sacrifice the forest team's own offense. The two forwards are composed of the other five guards. The defensive line is completely obsessive, and the midfielder does not have someone who can organize the offense. It goes on like this... To be honest, I don’t understand.” Mark Lawrence said of the Forest team’s fifteen minutes so far. He shook his head to cooperate with Mortensen's explanation. "Sheffield United's coach Warnock had a formation of 541 in this game, with three central defenders. He chose a safe tactic. Of course he has reasons to do so. After all, he won a beautiful away game. The three-pointer for this game, the worst plan for this game, as long as he is tied, he can win, no matter how much the score is. But Coach Dunn can’t think like that. At this time, he should not defend, but should attack. Now like this...he must be Dizzy!"

"Mark, I don't understand either." Mortensen did not agree with the partner's views, "but I think Coach Dunn must have his ideas in this arrangement. I explained most of the games for half the season. He is the kind of The coach who can make me shine..."

Hansen laughed: "These words are used to describe the players, John."

"There is no rule that can't be used to describe the coach. Dunn's many performances have surprised me, and I hope this game can also let me see that scene."

Mortensen just finished talking, Forest right player Brian Cash made a beautiful wing breakthrough and forced Sheffield United left back Steve Yates to foul him. Nottingham Forest Won a free kick from the front right.

Seeing this scene, Dunn stood up from the coach bench and walked to the sidelines. Then he just stood there, doing nothing, shouting nothing. But the forest players on the field know what this means. They practiced set-kick tactics for a week, and finally they are going to come in handy here!

Michael Dawson ran into the opponent's penalty area, Hajeld also left the backcourt, the entire forest team's defense line was pressed up, and the two defensive midfielders Smeka and Pope were dragged in the end.

All the people who can head the ball are in front of Sheffield United's goal.

Dunn's intention couldn't be more obvious. He is not afraid that Warnock will see it, and even if he can see it now, he can't make effective adjustments in time-this old man never imagined that he would abandon conventional offensive methods in the away game and seek to solve the battle with set-pieces.

If you don't think of it, I will catch you by surprise!

He glanced at Warnock, who stood on the sidelines and waved and roared, with a smug smile on his face.

Old man, do you want your guards to watch the big men Dawson and Hagild? Very good, I can't ask for it!

Because Ian Jess was not on the court, all the free kicks were handed over to Reid for the penalty. He carefully placed the ball and then looked at the penalty area. As expected by the head coach, the Sheffield United defenders focused their attention on Dawson, Hajelder, and Heilwood. No one cared about the undersized David Johnson. He really is. It's too short, and it's almost impossible to find it in the penalty area full of elders. It takes a lot of effort to see the shadow of this teammate from the seams.

Michael Dawson with a height of 1.91 meters, Hajelder with a height of 1.88 meters and Heilwood with a height of 1.86 meters are the best cover.

Reid drove the ball into the penalty area, but he surprised all Sheffield United players. He did not take a high ball to find the top of the Dawsons, but a half high ball, flat and fast!

In the eyes of everyone's astonishment, David Johnson suddenly shot out from the crowd and rushed forward! At the moment when the running route coincided with the trajectory of the ball flying, he shook his head and pushed the ball towards the near corner of the goal!

Sheffield United goalkeeper Paddy`Kenny suddenly attacked the goal from such a close situation. Before he could make any response, the football flew into the goal against the goal post!

Standing on the sidelines, Dunn raised his arms to celebrate the goal, but he did not forget to look next door. But Warnock didn't look too depressed, he just turned and walked back to the coaching bench. This performance made Dun En a little disappointed-an attack he carefully planned did not cause any mood swings in the opponent.
