Godfather Of Champions

On the bench at Sheffield United, Warnock walked back and said to a player sitting on the bench: "Are you ready? It's time for you to play."

"Yes, boss." The man stood up, took off his jacket, revealing the red and white Sheffield United home jersey, and the name on the back: Jacklester.

He walked off the bench and stood on the sidelines, waiting for the fourth referee to put him on the court.

It always feels weird for Dunn to see the players he has coached wearing the opponent's jersey against him on the court. The distance between the two standing no more than two meters, he frequently glanced at Leicester standing on the sidelines, but Leicester did not seem to see him, just staring at the court.

Dunn looked at Leicester, then at Warnock. What is the old man thinking about changing into a striker again?

"Hey, Jack." Dunn decided to take the initiative to talk to Leicester. They didn't have a chance to say hello before the game. It's okay to talk now. By the way, the other coach's plan will come out.

Lester looked back at Dunn and smiled: "Sir, I didn't expect to see you again under such circumstances."

"Yeah, I didn't expect...Hey, Jack, what would Neil do for you? You already have two forwards, and they are all doing pretty well..."

"Of course I defeated you, sir." Lester blinked. "What you said, be worthy of every penny you earn."

Dunn scratched his head, but he didn't expect to be caught in what he had said. "Yes, you did the right thing... we are now opponents... **** opponents!" At last he cursed and walked back.

Jakecester replaced PeshSoliddo, who scored a goal. Although the 32-year-old performed well and scored a goal, in the eyes of Warnock, his staying on the court is obviously still a threat to Dawson. not big enough. He needs someone who knows the forest team's defense system better, and this person is Jack Kleister.

For this substitution of Sheffield United, Dunn did not make any adjustments. He watched the ball quietly from the sidelines, the situation has not shown any bad side, and he does not need to do anything.

But the dark cloud in my heart gathered more and more, and accumulated in my chest.

"Michael Brown! 2:3! Sixty-eight minutes, Sheffield United scored!" Mortensen exclaimed, and Mark Lawrenson danced beside him.

"Steve Kabbah! It's incredible, Sheffield United equalized the score! Nottingham Forest was hit hard!" Only three minutes later, Mortensen's voice sounded again.

Laurenson saw hope that his beard was saved, and he also thought about the loss of the forest team.

"Smeka's ability is limited. A defensive midfielder can't prevent Sheffield United's offense. Although it seems that Warnock played 532 after replacing Tonch, in fact this lineup should be on offense. It was 352. Two full-backs pressed up to assist and act as full-backs. The strong pressure of five midfielders was not something Smeka could bear. Without the midfield barrier, Michael Dawson’s defense directly faced Xie The wave after wave of Field United’s offensive was also unable to stop. Michael Brown was the one who was ignored by Dunn, and now he has been punished!"

Dunn looked at the Sheffield United players cheering and celebrating the goal. He could hardly believe what he saw. The situation on the court had changed so much within ten minutes. What is going on here? He was afraid of falling into Warnock’s trap and tried everything possible to avoid this from happening, but in the end he got stuck in it, and it got deeper and deeper!

He glanced at Warnock and found that the other person was also looking at him. When the two looked at each other, Warnock smiled and shrugged, then turned around and stopped looking at him.

Dunn felt a flame exploded in his chest.

Fuck! I was cheated! Deceived by this old immortal!

Starting from the steady performance of losing two goals in the first half, the old man was acting, including the handshake during the intermission, all of which were acting, just to make himself think that he had some conspiracy and tricks to make himself suspicious. Then step by step he fell into the trap he dug in another place.

He replaced Michael Tonchi in order to trick himself into replacing Popper, reducing a defensive midfielder and reducing the defensive pressure on their midfielder. He knew that he did not value this seemingly defensive midfielder, Michael Brown, and then used him to organize the offense. One of the two goals was completed by him and the other was instigated by him. He is the Sheffield United in this game. The true core of the team! Tang Qi is just a cover!

Dunn was furious. He has always enjoyed the pleasure of playing and manipulating opponents, but he never thought that he would be played in the palm of his hand by others. Although he was unwilling, Dunn had to admit that he was still too tender and inexperienced compared with the fifty-four-year-old Neil Warnock. The two have 20 years of experience.

Dunn's bad luck seems to be endless, he is destined to exhaust the luck of the previous several consecutive victories in this crucial game. After Sheffield United equalized, the Forest team fell into a panic. Their main right-back, John Thompson, sprained his ankle in the fight with Steve Kabbah and was unable to continue the game.

"Asshole!" Dunn cursed depressed when he saw Fleming, the team doctor, shaking his head at him. He turned around and looked at the bench. One of the five substitutes has been used, and there are four left...

In the end, Dunn's gaze stayed on the childish child.

"James, you go to the heat... **** it! There is no time for you to warm up, let me play now!" He grabbed the kid from the bench and pushed to the sidelines. "Just like you did in training!"

In addition, he really didn't know how to explain to the seventeen-year-old child the precautions for his first appearance. James Biggins (James`Biggins), this game was just a substitute right back who was arranged by Dunn to make up the number on the bench. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly got the chance to represent the first team for the first time.

Seeing this little kid running on the court tremblingly, Dunn really couldn't have high expectations of him. He is still overwhelmed here.

I don’t know if the young James Bikins had such a dream:

When the team was in distress, he, who was originally sitting on the bench to watch the game, was suddenly called from his seat by the coach, and then patted his shoulder and said to him expectantly: "James, Our team is up to you! Go up and kill those **** for me! Win the game!"

The assistant coach and other teammates also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes! You are the only one who can change the situation now, James! You are a genius, you must do it!"

Then he stood up and stepped onto the field, leading the team to turn defeat into victory under the opponent's disdainful eyes, and finally let all the opponents kneel in front of him and beg for mercy and admit defeat...

But the fact is-this situation can indeed make a genius hero who became famous in World War I; but it may also make a teenager who is full of expectations for the future take a hit. This kind of pressure competition is not something ordinary people can bear.

James Bikins knows what the situation is now. The team was tied in a good situation ahead of the opponent, the main player was injured and forced to quit the game, and the morale of the team was greatly affected. But he didn't know what he was going to do? What should he do?

Dunn didn't tell him that his brain could not think about this kind of problem.

He stood at the right-back position blankly, and then watched the wolf-like Sheffield United players rush towards him...

Great cheers and applause rang out again at Balamore Lane Stadium, while the fans of the Forest team were silent collectively, not only in the stands, but also in the bars of Nottingham.

"God! What happened in these twenty-eight minutes..." Mortensen groaned, "In the first half, Sheffield United didn't score a goal, but from the 51st minute in the second half, they scored four. A goal! 4:3! Now the home team is leading! Nottingham Forest changed from a leader to a chaser in an instant. Poor James Bikins, this is the first time he played for the first team of Nottingham Forest at the age of seventeen, but he scored An own goal!"

Bikins knelt in front of the goal, and the ecstatic Sheffield United players ran past him. The football was lying quietly in the goal. Bikins lowered his head and couldn't see the expressions of other teammates. He now has a dead heart. He felt he became the sinner of the team.

Both Deswalker and Ian Bowyer, who were sitting on the coach's bench, held their foreheads with their hands. Neither of them had thought of this scene. It was incredibly good at halftime, but now it's incredibly bad.

From 2:0 to 3:4, this game was played... really makes me want to scold my mother.

Dunn, who was standing on the sidelines, stared blankly at the court. He had no intention of caring how excited Warnock over there was to celebrate the goal.

He seemed to hear the footsteps of the Premier League passing by him, and then gradually walking away...

What does this score mean? Nottingham Forest lost to Sheffield United 1:2 at home, and is now behind 3:4 away, with a total score of 4:6. This means that if they want to enter the play-off finals, they must at least be in the remaining eleven. Only by scoring at least two goals in a minute can they hope to qualify for overtime.

This requirement is very demanding for today's Forest team.

Because of the existence of Bikins, the forest team's defense line is no longer a system, and the morale of the opponent is high. In the remaining time, they can guarantee that they will not lose the ball again.

Michael Dawson lowered his head to comfort Bikins, who scored an own goal. He did all the work that a captain could do, but he couldn't bring victory to the team. Maybe his heart is more painful than Kings who scored an own goal.

Looking at the desperate players on the field, Dunn asked himself in his heart: Is that the end?

"Tony! If you can't lead the team into the Super League next season, I will make you look good!" Michael's roar came from afar, and Dunn looked back at the stands above the coaching bench.

There are happy red and white Sheffield United fans, where is Michael's shadow?

Another voice came from the side: "Coach Tony Dunn, have you ever thought about what happens if we finally fail to make the Super League this season?"

Can't upgrade, can't upgrade, can't upgrade...

Michael, Little Gavin...No! I can't let this happen, and I won't let it happen!

Dunn walked back in stride, and said to Walker with a serious look: "Where is Westerkar? Let him play!"

"Tune replaced Smeka, the only defensive midfielder, and made a desperate move to replace the 17-year-old forward Karaji Westkar. Nottingham Forest, who changed to 433, was able to score in the remaining ten minutes. Two goals? Honestly speaking, I don’t have much confidence... Westkal had three previous substitutions on the field. Without scoring goals, his ability can’t let him delegate the heavy task to him. I don’t understand Tang. Why did you make such adjustments... useless!" Mortensen criticized Dunn's on-the-spot command mercilessly, and Laurensen was laughing next to him. In this way, his beard was preserved... and this is what made Mortensen upset.

Evan Daugherty turned to look at the TV on the corner of the box, watching TV is much clearer than watching the scene. Hearing the commentator say this, he smiled, and then said to the old man Nigel Daggerty next to him: "Look, I said it. He can't be trusted."

Nigel didn't seem to hear his son's words, he just watched the game dreamily. When Evan thought he had been neglected again, the old man said in a low voice and slowly said: "Whatever you want, anyway, it's you who will count soon. You can do whatever you want..."

Facts have proved that Dunn’s substitution is the best interpretation of "being brave but not arrogant". He removed the only defensive midfielder and changed to the completely unfamiliar 433 formation. The Forest team became more at a loss. They don’t know what the head coach really wants to do, and they don’t know what they should do. Some people want to score as quickly as possible, while others want to ensure that the back line does not lose the ball. A team fell apart at the last moment and was pulled into two segments, one first and the other behind.

Dunn had lost control of the team, he stood on the sidelines, but could not give any useful instructions. He can only watch, look forward to... look forward to a miracle.

The cheers in the stands of Balamore Lane are getting louder and louder, and Sheffield United coach Neil Warnock can't wait to give high fives to the people around him. This is his true face...

In the 91st minute of the game, James Biggins used a corner kick to score a goal to redeem his own goal. But this goal did not help the team at all, because it came too late.

One minute later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and there was thunderous cheers over the Balamore Lane stadium. The home team fans were celebrating their team reaching the play-off final, and Tony Dunn became a failure again. By.

The dream of working hard for half a season was shattered, and his brain went blank in an instant, standing on the sidelines blankly. He didn't even see Warnock who reached out to him.

The noisy stadium stands disappeared, the green stadium disappeared, and it was dark all around. Happy Sheffield United players, frustrated Nottingham Forest players, Neil Warnock who shrugs his shoulders with a disdainful smile, Ian Bowyer who closes his eyes in pain, Deswark who is trying to comfort the players , Michael Bernard, who didn’t know where he was, and Gavin Bernard, who was already lying quietly in the mud, surrounded Dunn tightly, making him feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

His heart tightened.

This season is over.

Ten days later, Bradford's Glory Valley Stadium. The stadium has a good name, but it did not bring Warnock the glory he dreamed of. His team lost three goals here to Wolves and lost the qualification to qualify for the Premier League. Warnock used all his energy to deal with the difficult Tony Dunn, but he ran out of his last strength while winning.

Three days after that semi-final, on May 19, in the Spanish city of Seville, on the southern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, south of England.

A Portuguese named Jose Mourinho (Jose`Mourinho) defeated Brian Clough’s disciple Martin O’Neill in the city’s Olympic Stadium 3:2 overtime, Portugal’s Porto (Porto) defeated Scotland Kay Celtic, won the 02-03 UEFA Cup.

This victory allowed the whole of Europe to know this young Portuguese coach who is accustomed to unsmiling words and a group of outstanding players under him.

But these have nothing to do with Dunn. His season ended on May 16th. This is the first season he has played in leading a professional team as a professional head coach. Although it is incomplete and imperfect, it will deeply affect Dunn's future path.

He will always remember the two losses against West Ham United and Sheffield United. A voice will always sound in my heart to remind him:

How painful it is to fail...
