Godfather Of Champions

Dunn quickly didn't think about which step the relationship between him and Shania should be. He was once again troubled by the intensive schedule and the ups and downs of the team.

On November 15, the Nottingham Forest went north to the cold Newcastle, losing 1:2 away to the opponent.

On November 24th, the Forest team returned to the home court after a hard fight, and they won Everton 3:2 and finally held the third position in the league.

From the point of view of the standings alone, the forest team's performance is not too bad, except for the difference between the top two points, they are still in the first group.

But only those who are really familiar with Nottingham Forest know how dangerous the forest team is now. Every winning game is always full of twists and turns, and the victory is frightening. In addition, the injury is like a nightmare that can't be dispelled. It always follows the forward pace of the Forest team, ready to pounce on it when the Forest team is tired.

Tony Dunn himself had an illusion that he was walking a tightrope.

He doesn't know when the team will collapse if the team keeps going so persistently. From last summer to the end of this year, his players didn't have the slightest time to rest. The physical strength has reached the stage of collapse. How do you spend the cold winter? He can do nothing.

Winning can only be won by gritting your teeth. A little bit of relaxation may cause a thousand miles to collapse, but if you are always nervous, you may collapse earlier...

"...I admire Tony Dunn's training methods, and I also admire Nottingham Forest's fighting spirit and will to win. Reversing West Ham United to win, reversing Manchester City to win, losing to Liverpool at the last moment, reversing Everton To win... After the game with Everton, Tony Dunn once proudly declared that only his team in the world could reverse and win opponents in succession. But I think he is playing a swollen face to fill a fat man-which coach will Want your team to win a thrilling reversal in every game? I bet that Tony Dunn is eager for his team to determine a two-goal lead every game, and then easily win with a big score. ..."

Experts in the TV station are analyzing the situation currently encountered by the forest team. Although Dunn always said that his team is in good condition, everything is normal, and the team's performance is not bad. But all the fools could see that he was just bracing the facade.

The crisis of the team is obvious to anyone with a glance, and Dunn's doing this is nothing more than a personality.

Yes, this kind of crisis does not mean that we have encountered Waterloo consecutively and the points ranking has been declining. But such a situation is likely to become the future of Nottingham Forest. Now the team is walking a tightrope, if it accidentally makes a mistake, then there is really an abyss...

※※※

Dunn flew to Minsk, Belarus, with his exhausted team to face the local team. This is a crucial battle related to whether Nottingham Forest can finally qualify for the team. If, as the defending champion, he didn't even break through the group stage, then he and his team would really become the laughing stock of the whole world.

No matter how bad the team is now, Dunn will never allow this to happen to him.

So he put in the strongest lineup he could put in. Pepe, who was slightly injured, started the game and must ensure that the team has no worries in defense.

At the end of November, Belarus was completely white, and white snow covered this country in Eastern Europe. When the team went to adapt to the venue, it was discovered that the venue could not adapt in advance-a thick layer of snow covered the stadium, and the stadium was using bulldozers to shovel snow.

Until the day before yesterday, it was still snowing here, and it was heavy snow. Although it stopped yesterday, the thick snow was still shocking. Dunn frowned as he looked at the venue in front of him.

Bolsov’s Minsk Dynamo Stadium is not an artificial turf stadium like Russia. If the geothermal and drainage system is not good enough, tomorrow’s game will be a mud pool here...

The players curled their necks and looked at such a stadium in a daze. Can this kind of venue really allow them to perform at their best?

At the pre-match preparation meeting, Dunn also knew the difficulty of this game. He had more than talked about tactics and so on, and he didn't need to talk about it now. He just told the players that no matter what kind of difficulties they encounter, this game must be won: "...I don't care what you use, even if you hit the ball with your hands, as long as the referee doesn't see it! "

Now the Champions League is not only related to his face. After the financial crisis has affected the Forest team, the Champions League matches directly involve financial interests-winning the game will have UEFA bonuses, and the more games played, the bonus will also be The more it is, the higher the share of the final TV broadcast fee. If they are eliminated early in the group stage, the forest team's financial loss will be huge.

※※※

Thank God, there was no snow on the day of the game. Although the dark clouds have been suppressing the city, the Baixue that Dunn was most worried about never landed on their heads. Until the lighting of the Dynamo Stadium in Minsk was turned on at night, the sky was still calm and there was no movement.

The snow shoveled yesterday was all piled up around the stadium, surrounding the green stadium.

Dunn breathed a sigh of relief.

At the beginning of the game, Bolisov used a long shot to wipe out the goal and warned the visiting team that was bent on earning points. They weren't easy to pinch.

In the cold weather, Bolisov’s players were able to move freely and live vigorously, even better than when they played at home in Nottingham Forest. On the other hand, the players of Nottingham Forest, except Arshavin, who is from Russia, everyone else is a bit uncomfortable with the weather here in Bolisov. It is too cold... even if they warm up for 20 minutes before the game , The body seems to be still stiff.

The ground is slippery, and the shots of people turning upside down will appear with a little effort. Obviously there is a chance to shoot, but because the supporting foot slips, the football is shot directly into the stands behind the goal. Reluctantly hit the football, but also shot weakly.

The 55,000 fans who came to cheer for the home team squeezed the stadium stands, and their enthusiasm could even melt the snow under the stands. There are also some sturdy fans naked, riding on the railings of the stands, waving their scarves, singing loudly, and shouting for Bolisov. Every movement of the Bolisov players will bring them shocking cheers. What's more, when forest team players take the ball from the wing or take a corner kick, there will always be a white snowball falling from the sky, hitting the player's side, breaking into countless pieces and splashing out. It would be unthinkable to pack a lighter, mobile phone, coins, etc. in this snowball...

The fans and the team brought double pressure to the Forest team, the team was unable to enter the game state late, and the offense seemed a bit messy.

The first half was basically Borisov’s half-time bombardment surrounding the Forest team. The Forest team could only parry and could not fight back.

But it was finally a draw barely, and no ball was dropped.

In the second half, Bolisov began to recover, and the Forest team also began to counterattack, and the two sides were deadlocked near the midfield.

In the 70th minute, Van der Vaart accidentally fell to the ground due to the slippery ground when receiving the ball in the front court, and the football was directly handed over to the next player Bolisov. How could Borisov let it go? They immediately organized a counterattack, and after a series of quick passes, they entered the forest team's restricted area, cooperated two by one in front of the goal, fooled Van der Sar, and easily pushed into the empty goal.

The Dynamo Stadium in Minsk burst into cheers like a tsunami, and everything that shook the stadium creaked, as if the sky was about to collapse.

Looking at the dazzling white light in front of me, listening to the roar in my ear. Dunn only felt his heart tighten, as if a needle had been pierced. He gritted his teeth, stood still and did not move.

Mrs. Boliso is in a carnival, and the players of Nottingham Forest are downcast. Such weather, such opponents, such away games... They are somewhat helpless.

Just when everyone was at a loss, they heard Dun En’s roar from the sidelines: "What am I talking about? Must win! Must win! I will never accept any results other than victory! Never! I don’t care! What method do you use... Damn!"

He suddenly turned around and called out Zikic: "Five minutes!" He spread his left hand and five fingers, "You only have five minutes to warm up. I want you to come back as soon as you finish warming up. Go!" He pushed the big man.

Zikic stumbled and ran to warm up. Five minutes later, he stood in front of Dunn again.

"We have to change our tactics. Ground coordination and two wing breakthroughs are obviously not going to work. I don't mind making the game more ugly. The traditional British style of play is just right for this situation. You know what you should do after you go up. Is it?" he asked, staring at Zikic.

The Sevillaans were mediocre except after scoring a goal in Manchester City. Did not meet people's expectations, his incompatibility with the rhythm of the Premier League made many people feel that this is Dunn's second glance after Grosso. He is also under great pressure. As a substitute in Valencia, the result came here as a substitute. He desperately hopes to prove once again that he hasn't fallen from the cold bench in Valencia.

He nodded vigorously: "Assault them in the penalty area."

"Make good use of your height and bounce! After you go up, tell them to upload the ball to you. Wherever you are, the ball will be passed to you!"

After pushing Zikic onto the court, Dunn continued to stand on the sidelines. Now Borisov's night temperature had dropped to below zero, but Dunn felt a little hot. He felt a layer of sweat on his forehead, his chest and back were also sweating outwards, and his shirt was soaked. He had to open his black coat and then unbuttoned two shirts.

A cold wind hit his mind, but he felt a little relaxed and comfortable.

If the team lost to Bolisov on the road... Dunn couldn't even imagine that this would happen to him. He absolutely can't make this happen.

A few minutes after changing to Zikic, Dunn replaced Lennon with Beckham. The situation is obvious. He will use the side pass to add a header from the center to overcome the disadvantages of the venue and the weather.

After doing all this, he basically has no move. I did everything that was supposed to be done, what's next? Do everything, do you want to be safe?

Dunn looked up at the dark sky.

His eyes suddenly lost his mind, and there was a icy cold on his face. This cold feeling spread directly from his face to the bottom of his heart-it was snowing.

The snow that had been holding back for a day finally fell, fluttering and quickly covering the sky over the city and the stadium.

Is this destiny?

Dunn only felt that the needle-stick pain in his heart became more and more obvious. He gritted his teeth and stared at the sky. The white snowflakes are already visible to the naked eye under the light.

There was a low cheer next door. Bolisov's players and coaches saw the snow and knew that the game was developing in a situation that was more and more beneficial to them. Borisov’s head coach is already planning whether to compete with Dynamo Kyiv for another group qualification.

"Nottingham Forest seems to be in bad luck." ESPN's commentator announced in a very calm tone that the end of the Forest team is approaching. "Once it starts to snow, this team's performance will only get worse. I think their players are almost freezing, right? The ground is full of water. The drainage system of the Dynamo Stadium in Minsk is really bad, but the Belarusian ball The team obviously doesn't have these troubles. They are familiar with this field. Playing in the snow is as normal as breathing. What is Tony Dunn thinking? Maybe he hopes his team can have an altitude of three kilometers. Home court..."

"I don't accept defeat!" George Wood said to the two full-backs while the opponent was ditching and preparing to take a free kick. His expression was serious, as if a fire was burning in his eyes. "You all go up, when you attack. Give it to me later!"

"No problem?" Rafinha was worried. Bolisov's counterattack was impressive.

"There are still ten minutes, what's the difference between losing one ball and losing ten balls?"

Bell first nodded: "I see!"

Rafinha also followed up: "No problem!"

Bolisov's free kick was a little higher than the crossbar, and cheers from the stands rang.

"Asshole! The Belarusian team is bullying us!" Dunn jumped on the sidelines and shouted. "Get up! We are the **** defending champions! We can't lose to such a team! Run if you can't run! If you don't run at this time, you will have no chance to run in the future!"

He knows the physical condition of the players and also knows that today's game is played in such a venue, which consumes more energy. But now like this, he can only let the players grit their teeth and hold on. If you admit defeat here, this season will be over.

In any case, the group stage must qualify!

The Forest team's full-backs began to assist frequently, and the assists were greater than ever. Sometimes Pepe will take the ball and take part in the attack. George Wood stood alone in the backcourt, waiting for Bolisov's counterattack by himself.

Rafinha brought the ball forward and saw that the opponent was about to cut his ball, and quickly passed the football to Beckham. Run forward by himself, hoping to make a two-by-one with Beckham.

David Beckham didn't pass the football back to him. He stood still and suddenly kicked and passed it. At a place ten meters away from the restricted area, pass diagonally at forty-five degrees!

Zikic was entangled with the opposing defender. He saw Beckham kicking a diagonal pass, suddenly shot out, and jumped high after sprinting!

"He's too high—GOOOOAL!! The 80th minute! Nottingham Forest equalized the score!!"

Tang turned around and hit the side of the coaching booth with a punch.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, but he has ignored such trivial matters.

"It's not over, it's not over!" Just venting his nervousness, he turned around and shouted into the court with his teeth and claws, reminding the players to continue their efforts.

Zikic also knows what the team is now, he did not want to celebrate his goal. Instead, he picked up the football from the net and ran back surrounded by a group of teammates.

"High-altitude bombing! Fuck the high ball! Blast their door for me!" In the subsequent game, Dunn bounced and jumped on the sidelines as if he was crazy, spitting dirty words out of his mouth. He has nowhere to go, just like what he warned the players, if you don’t go crazy, I am afraid there will be no chance...

Bolisov also had to give up the idea of ​​defeating the Forest team at home, and first thought of trying to do a good job defensively. Two central defenders were used to mark Zikic, and Beckham also received extra care. Next, Bolisov’s players began to try their best to delay the game.

It fell to the ground in pain after a little touch, and one after another held the calf cramps on the ground. A goal kick must be swung twice. Throwing a throw-in will definitely wait for the full back to come up slowly...

Every time I saw a player of Bolisov "injured" falling to the ground, the Forest team kicked the football out of bounds out of sportsmanship. Dunn's chest was violently ups and downs off the court, and a blast of fire rushed out, giving him a spark to explode immediately.

It was not the first time that he had seen such a "reasonable" use of the game rules to delay the game, but after experiencing it personally, he felt very unhappy, very unhappy, very unhappy... the unhappy was about to burst.

Bolisov's players were unbearable when they were fighting against Forest players. Pepe didn't see the situation behind him, after intercepting the ball, he passed it to George Wood in front.

Bolisov's players also lay on the ground with their wrists still without moving.

The players of Nottingham Forest did not see it, but the players of Bolisov did. In fact, in the final stage of the game, they were basically paying attention to the situation of their players except for defense. As long as someone fell to the ground, hula la was a hand raised to signal that they were injured and asked the forest team players to kick the football. Get out. The players of the Forest team really promoted sports ethics and kicked out the football politely.

But this time, when the player raised his arm and asked George Wood to kick the football out and allow their players to receive treatment, George Wood was not moved at all. He easily passed by the opposing player, Borisov. Some of the players couldn't believe what was happening right now.

When George Wood passes by one more person, no matter how the Borisov player on the opposite side gestures, no matter how many people in the stands booed dissatisfied with him, as long as he did not hear the referee's whistle to stop the game, he would Continue to dribble forward and attack!

When he passed the second person, Borisov's people finally understood. Nottingham Forest does not intend to promote any sportsmanship this time!

One rushed forward and wanted to use a brutal foul to put Wood's dribbling ball over and forcibly suspend the game.

Wood did not give the opponent a chance to foul, he passed the football to Bell on the wing, then jumped up and avoided.

Bell seemed to hesitate. The Bolisov player on the opposite side retreated and asked him to kick the football out.

But George Wood yelled: "Keep on attacking!"

He sent the football into the penalty area.

Borisov’s players were all confused by the Forest’s offense. Some people rushed to the challenge and could not constitute effective defensive protection.

When the football flies to their goal, how can they care about sports ethics at this time, what forest team is playing rogue... the arrow is on the string, and I have to send it!

Zikic jumped high again, and the two central defenders jumped up close, trying to crush him.

The Sevillan did not shoot himself, he ferryed the football to the unmarked Arshavin behind.

Arshavin is no more polite, swiping his foot and volleying, the football hit the net!

"Arshavin! Arshavin-Nottingham Forest reversed the game! Now they are in the lead! Although the goal was a bit controversial, the referee still signaled that the goal was valid!"

Dunn knelt on his knees, fingers the sky, opened his mouth wide and roared in Chinese: "If this is God's will, I will rebel against you, God!"

Bolisov's players blocked the referee angrily, wanting to ask for an explanation. Others rushed towards George Wood with a murderous face.

Before the Forest team could celebrate the goal, they rushed over.

"This is too unsportsmanlike!" Bolisov's young coach Goncharenko yelled at the fourth official on the sidelines in anger. Sometimes, the fourth official is just such a poor role that needs to be vented by the head coaches of both sides... The fourth official can only be regarded as a breeze in the ear, not to his heart.

"This is shameful! We are going to appeal!" He shouted at the fourth official in broken English.

"Where are you going to appeal, Mr. Goncharenko?" Dunn, who had finished venting to the sky, appeared on the other side of the fourth official with a cold smile, and he looked at his hysterical opponent. "My players have the right to decide whether to kick the football out of bounds. As long as the referee doesn’t stop the game and we don’t kick out, what can you do? FIFA rules don’t say that if the opposing player falls to the ground, the side with the ball The attack must be suspended. Even if you tell FIFA, you can't win!"

"You... have no sports ethics!" He pointed to Dun En's nose this time and cursed.

Dunn shrugged: "At the very least, my players will not deliberately delay the game. The head coach whose goalkeeper got a yellow card because of the delay is not qualified to say me."

After speaking, he turned and left, letting the poor fourth official continue to vent the already furious Goncharenko. UEFA will not want a team like Bolisov to enter the Champions League round of sixteen without market prospects, and Nottingham Forest is better to speak up above. Bolisov, who participated in the Champions League for the first time, is really tender and can...

The situation on the court is a bit chaotic. Both sides had physical contact, and the referee had to show four consecutive yellow cards to four players to control the situation.

George Wood stood on the cusp of the storm. No matter how angry the opposing player is, he just clenched his fist and celebrated the winning goal with his teammates, completely disregarding the opposing anger.

It was his arrogant attitude that angered Bolisov's players just now, and they couldn't help but punch people.

After such a tossing about the time of the game, there is really little left. The veteran Nottingham Forest scored a goal that completely defeated Borisov’s fighting spirit. They were restless and could not concentrate on the game itself. They were full of anger and unwillingness, grievances and regrets, regrets...

Can such a team pose any threat to Nottingham Forest?

The snow is still falling, but no one cares whether it will affect the Forest Team.

Because the game is over, Nottingham Forest has won! Tony Dunn won!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Bolisov’s head coach rushed to the court for the first time. He pulled the referee to ask him why he had not decisively blew the whistle to suspend the game when his player fell to the ground just now. However, due to the fierce speech and the pulling and pulling of his hands. As a result, he paid the price for his recklessness and youth-he was given a red card by the referee directly!

Tang En didn't mind watching the passionate performance of that young head coach. He didn't even hug and celebrate with the players who had escaped from the dead. He just slumped in a chair and let out a sigh of relief. A heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, but a heavier stone was lifted again and hung above his heart.

This life like a roller coaster is almost the entire track of a professional coach.

No matter how noisy and noisy the surroundings were, he could still hear the sound of his heart beating violently, as if it was echoing in his ears.

The game was over and he won, but the voice did not slow down because of it. It still kept beating at this speed, just like the sudden rise of the Nottingham Forest in the European continent in the past three seasons.

This is really worrying. I don’t know when the string broke... (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!)
