Godfather Of Champions

In fact, Chen Jian's matter did not cause any sensation, and even a ripple was not seen. A week later, after someone from the Nottingham Forest Club helped Chen Jian complete all the formalities, he left Tianjin Judicial Police School in the eyes of the envy of his classmates and embarked on his dream journey to Nottingham.

No domestic media reported on this matter, because the Nottingham Forest Club was very low-key when doing these things, and no media was notified. Alan Adams really wants to make a big publicity in China to facilitate the club to further open the Chinese market. However, Tang En dissuaded him, saying that it would not be too late to publicize until Chen Jian was really talented. Now even if the publicity is done, he will not receive any effect. Although China has a vast market, this market will not open up because of a young player who currently has no future in sight.

In fact, Dunn didn't want to put any more pressure on Chen Jian this kid. The pressure on his back is big enough and heavy enough.

When he arrived in Nottingham, there was no special treatment except that the landlord, Fat John, prepared a small family welcome dinner for him to come back. He still lives in John's house and takes time out every week to go to the University of Nottingham for cultural classes, just like other young players in the youth team. Dunn only met him once when he had just arrived in Nottingham, and after reiterating the reality that he had no way out, he went to work on the first team. Tang didn't say much, just hoped that he would stick to it. There is no press conference, no people to welcome and farewell, no reporters to follow... everything means that he is just an apprentice.

Greenwood made a little joke: "Chen, did you come back from China with the ball!"

"Yes, Coach Greenwood." Chen Jian replied proudly.

Everything is business as usual.

At this time, Chen Jian has long since been here more than a year ago, and his heart is full of countless expectations and longings. He understands the cruelty of reality and knows the distance between his dreams and himself. Instead of fantasizing about how beautiful you are on that day when your dream is realized, it is better to train **** the ground without thinking about whether your dream will come true. He firmly believes that as long as he works so hard every day and sticks to it, one day he will dig the mountain and open up the road from reality to dream. No matter how long it takes, no matter how much price it has to pay, even if it is blood, he continues to dig forward!

※※※

The matter of recruiting Chen Jian as an apprentice was settled, but for Chen Jian, his story has just begun. Dunn wants to see the third episode, fourth episode, and even the ending of the dream log. I am afraid it will take a long time to wait. But he was not in a hurry, he was patient, he waited slowly, and he stayed with this tough guy to the end.

Now he must shift the focus of his work to the first team.

Interspersed with the story of Chen Jian's pursuit of dreams, Nottingham Forest has already played another league match.

On May 9, in the 36th round of the league, Nottingham Forest challenged West Bromwich Albion. Although Dunn has officially joined the team's daily management work, but the game is still directed by Tang from the sidelines. Dunn sat in the box and watched the game.

Perhaps knowing that the real boss is watching them from the stands, the players of Nottingham Forest are very desperate. In the away game 3:0 won West Bromwich Albion, kicked the opponent back to the Champions League two rounds early.

During the game, TV footage swept across Tony Dunn sitting in a tight box in the box several times. The commentator mentioned more than once that the Forest team today is completely different from the Forest team in the previous league. The reason is simple-theirs The king is coming back.

Nottingham Forest, which won the game, had 52 points and moved up two places to tenth. With two remaining rounds of the season coming to an end, they are still seven points away from the sixth Aston Villa, and they are destined to not qualify for the UEFA Cup next season.

Can the season end here and announce the end in advance?

Dunn doesn't think so.

Returning to the tactics class in Nottingham, Dunn told his players: "...This is a great opportunity. You have the opportunity to use your own actions to prove that you are still a man, and there are eggs! The season won nothing, and we have to end this season with three consecutive victories. This is the most insignificant compensation for our previous poor results! Let those home fans get comfort in the final round! Tell them, even if we have something this season We haven't gotten any, but we are not yet broken! Tell the opponents who are waiting to see our jokes that Nottingham Forest is going to make a comeback in the new season, and no one can stop it! And the new season will officially begin with this game!"

On May 16, in the 37th round of the league, Nottingham Forest challenged Stoke City away.

Before this game, the Nottingham Forest official website officially announced that their "king" Tony Dunn had returned to the team. Tang handed over the command, and Dunn personally took the coach seat to direct the game. Under his command, the team once again defeated Stoke City cleanly with a 3-0.

After the game, the sports news on BBC TV said this about the game-

"Other coaches in the Premier League have to be careful, that guy is back!"

Before the final round of the league, the fight for the league title has gradually become clear. Arsenal have to pay a price to play the world with a young lineup. Their ranking is very stable and ranked fourth. There is no danger of losing, but they can't make further progress. Chelsea also slowly fell behind, ranking third after having a great reputation in the first half of the league.

Instead, the two teams competing for the league title are Liverpool and Manchester United, who were previously thought not to play in the league.

The two teams have the same points, but Manchester United temporarily ranks second with a goal difference. If they want to win, they must win at least three goals against Hull City in the final game, and pray that Liverpool cannot win by a big score. From the opponent's point of view, Manchester United is slightly advantageous, and Hull City ranks in the middle and has no desire. And Liverpool's opponent Tottenham has to fight for relegation.

This form makes people inevitably think of the final round of the championship battle last season. Manchester United has been one of the protagonists for two consecutive seasons, but their opponents have changed. Nottingham Forest, which beat Manchester United to the throne at Old Trafford last season, ranked in the middle of the season and was destined to achieve nothing, which is really embarrassing.

Dunn didn't have time to take care of how others sighed his team. Although Nottingham Forest has no specific goals so far, he is just as busy.

The team training is all given to the coaching staff led by Don and Chris Lak. He is busy looking for individual players to talk to and understand their minds to determine the final candidate on the cleansing list.

The first person he looked for was Captain George Wood.

Because when he has not returned to the team, rumors about this man’s transfer have been flying all over the sky. Many clubs are willing to be a blue-collar player who is rare in world football. Defensive players interested in the field-AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Schalke 04, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal...

It's all rich clubs, and it's fatal temptation to take out any one.

But Wood's agent Billy Woods didn't move.

Just after Nottingham Forest officially announced Dunn’s official return, Billy Woods immediately announced that his players never thought of leaving Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest nurtured him and gave him today’s achievements. He is willing Continue to stay in Nottingham Forest unless the club drives him away.

Dunn was not sure what idea the old man made, so he went to George Wood directly. I want to hear what the players think.

"Wooks is telling the truth." Wood replied, "I never thought about leaving. Even if he wants me to leave, I will not leave. Don't I have to sign the contract at the end? "

Wood's words gave Dunn peace of mind. He is mentally prepared enough to face the transfer storm after the summer. But George Wood is absolutely not allowed to leave, because he is the true core of this team, if the Forest team is to regain its glory, this person is indispensable.

Not only that, George Wood also said something that moved Dunn: "I know what the economic situation of the team is. If it doesn't work, I am willing to sign a new contract with the club to lower the current salary. And some bonuses. Anyway, I think it’s better to have more money. Mr. Wookes has made a lot of money for me elsewhere, and I don’t know how to use it..."

Dunn almost didn't laugh, this silly boy, is there anyone who is too rich?

"You say that, Woods is going to be furious. Your income also directly affects his income."

Wood's expression remained unchanged, and he still said with a sullen face: "He doesn't need me to make money for him if he has more money. If he disagrees, I will fire him."

This time Dunn finally couldn't hold back, he laughed loudly. This kid still has his own heart...He is happy.

"You don't need to cut your salary, George. You can just play with peace of mind and keep the team behind me. Just set an example on the court. It's not your turn to consider economic matters."

After sending George Wood away, Dunn was half relieved. He started talking non-stop one by one. Under the guise of "I haven't seen you for five months, let's deepen our feelings and communicate with each other", observe and consider who can give up, who needs to pay a reasonable price to let them leave, and who are They can't be allowed to leave at all, and who else is he who is unwilling to let go but the other party may resolutely want to leave...

Van Nistelrooy had surgery and was still recovering from his injury. If he recovers from injury, Dun En will give him a contract for at least one year. He just didn't want to chill the veteran who helped him rise. If he hadn't had a heart attack, maybe in the first half of this year, while Van Nistelrooy was still undergoing surgery, he would urge the club to give the Dutchman a new contract.

Although the body is getting worse, Van Nistelrooy's experience and role in the locker room are still very obvious.

Needless to say, Eastwood, he must stay. The Gypsies themselves never thought of leaving here.

Arshavin... may or may not leave. He himself didn't have a particularly strong desire. If Dunn wanted him to stay, he would stay in all likelihood. Because Barcelona he most wants to go to, he obviously doesn't need him now.

Zikic’s performance in the Forest team this season is very average, with occasional flashing moments, but he is regarded as the top center when Van Nistelrooy was used as the successor to Bendtner, when Van Nistelrooy was injured. There are too few flashing moments like this. He was even rated by the British media as the biggest "parallel import" signing this season. But Dunn didn't plan to let him go, because Dunn knew that Zikic's poor performance was not his problem, but the team's overall problem. He also wanted to give Zikic a chance to prove himself again. In addition, he was unwilling to admit that he had failed easily. Dunn would not sell Zikic. What's more, selling Rikic at this time can only be a loss-making business, and fools can do it.

Van der Vaart’s situation is somewhat special. Real Madrid's midfielder is not just a winger. There is a shortage of people in the middle. Van der Vaart has already proven his talent and ability in Nottingham Forest. Real Madrid intends to solicit it. Van der Vaart himself also wants to play in Spain, whether it is Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​he does not matter. If you want to keep him, the Forest team may have to spend a lot of money. Alan Adams tended to make a move quickly while it was still selling at a high price, but Dunn still hesitated. Shaheen's performance is getting better, but he can't be alone. He needs Van der Vaart to organize the attack in the middle.

Beside Van der Vaart's name, Dunn made a question mark. He himself doesn't know if the Dutchman will be in his roster when next season comes.

Shaheen naturally wants to stay in the team, and he himself will not leave.

Beckham will definitely leave the team. After the expiration of the two-year contract, according to the original agreement, Dunn would no longer retain. He is going to the United States to accompany his wife and join the Los Angeles Galaxy in the major leagues. Dunn and he both knew, so they didn't say anything to each other.

Alan Lennon wouldn't leave either. Dunn didn't let him go. He himself didn't mean to leave. After Beckham is gone, not surprisingly, he will be the main player on the right side of the court. The Forest team will definitely not have the financial resources to purchase a large number of players for rotation in the new season, and they do not need to rotate because there are not many. game.

Like him is Martin Petrov. Ribery had been pressing on his head a few years ago, now Ribery is gone. He is also considered to be over. But Dunn did not rule out the possibility of buying Petrov for cash. Because in his eyes, Petrov's status is not high, at least not on par with Lennon, a promising young man. If a club offers a suitable price, he may consider it and let him go, and then buy those younger wing players from the transfer market who don't need to spend too much money.

Thiago Mendestown will not let go either. On the one hand, he is an all-rounder in the midfield, who can play a defensive midfielder or an organizational midfielder. Compared with Van der Vaart, he defends better, and compared with George Wood, he has a slightly better offensive. Although he is not top-notch in any aspect, the team now needs this kind of balanced players.

Chris Commonstown will not let them go, although he is very popular in the lower leagues. But Dunn has to prepare for the future "4+7", "5+6" and "6+5". This kind of local players are especially important for players trained by their own youth training system. There are opportunities to play in the League Cup and the FA Cup, and some insignificant league games can also be played, and it can also help the team successfully pass the Champions League qualification registration.

Like him is Wes Morgan. As the team's third captain, Dunn will not let Mogan leave.

After Robert Ayala's contract expires, he no longer renews his contract with the club. He wants to return to Argentina and Dunn has no intention of staying. Anyway, Ayala is no longer in his plan, and one more person's salary will be needed to stay.

Rafinha attracted the attention of some teams because of his outstanding performance in the Forest. In the summer, he may face offers from multiple clubs. When the time comes, Dunn needs to carefully consider whether to reject them all at once or to accept some quotations selectively. But if the money is changed, there will be a vacancy on the right back, and he will continue to have a headache to find the right back.

Zimbanda...As he gets older, there are fewer and fewer teams interested in him. It is foreseeable that there will be almost no offer that satisfies Dunn this summer. He must also Zimbanda stayed for at least another season.

I didn't expect...he fought with Bendtner. Dunn wanted to drive away Zimbanda and leave Bendtner. In the end, it was indeed Bendtner who Dunn did not want to let go, but Zimbanda who he did not want to stay behind. It's true that the one who should have not come, but the one who should have left...

Sun Jihai hopes to stay in Nottingham Forest until he retires. His thoughts are not difficult to understand-his career has entered the twilight, there is nothing more to want, can play in a team that has won the UEFA Champions League for two consecutive seasons until his retirement, what luxury does he have? The scenery is beautiful, and the money is almost earned. Anyway, if the Forest team doesn't want him, he will never go back to China. Dunn is now hesitating whether to clean Sun Jihai. Because his contribution to the team is getting less and less, but Sun Jihai is no longer popular in the Premier League. If a team wants to buy him, he can only be a team at the Premier League level. How much can they pay?

Leighton Barnes also has some mid-lower teams interested in him. But Dunn will not sell it. This player is one of the guarantees for the stability of the team's defense. He is not as good as Bell on offense, but he has been doing very well on defense. After such a stable player is let go, where can Dunn look for a second one?

Gareth Bale, Vicente Kompany and Pepe have all received a lot of transfer invitations. But Dunn didn't let go alone. There is no room for any increase, these three people are treated the same as George Wood and Eastwood-not for sale.

Woodgate has only come to the team for a year, he doesn't want to leave, Dunn is also happy to see it happen.

Van der Sar intends to retire in the forest team, but next season he will give up the position of the main goalkeeper, starting from the warm-up match, Dunn will intentionally right Akinfeev. After being bought by the Forest for two seasons, he will finally become the team's main goalkeeper.

Dale Roberts will also be the team's third goalkeeper. But if he wants to go, there is a team who wants him, Dunn will let go, and then he will pick a goalkeeper from the youth team and the reserve team.

After sweeping it down like this, Dunn found that there were not a few people in the so-called big purge... He still couldn't bear these guys who had worked hard with him for many years...

Let's enjoy the scenery together, we will drink big bowls of wine and eat meat together, and we will come and go chic and happy together. Why do we have to fly separately when the disaster is approaching?

If there is a team that puts tens of millions of dollars on Bell, Pepe and Kompany, can I resist keeping them? Will those loyal ministers who are not willing to leave the team because they have to pay the bill for the bad management of the club and be forced to leave?

He does not want his team to become the original Lazio, nor does he want his players to become the second, third, fourth... "nesta".

They are the seeds of the re-emergence of Nottingham Forest, and he must preserve it anyway! (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
