Godfather Of Champions

May 24, 2009 was a special day for the fans of Nottingham Forest. In the days before this day, they were all excited, and the tickets for the last home game of the season were robbed. In the case of the team doomed to gain nothing, this last game is still full, and there are countless fans waiting for someone to sell extra tickets.

It is not that their team will return to the top of the standings on this day, nor is it that they will be relegated from then on.

The reason these people are so excited is actually very simple-that person is coming back.

Although Tony Dunn has returned to the team and started work for three weeks, this is the first time he has led a team to play at home.

In addition, there is a person who wants to say goodbye to Nottingham and Nottingham Forest.

He is David Beckham whose contract expired.

These days, fans of the Forest team always flock to Wilford to watch the training of the Forest team, and then ask for an autograph photo with Beckham. His popularity is even stronger than ever.

There is also a touch of distress in the team. In fact, every season before has this kind of worries, but because of the excellent team performance in the previous seasons, everyone's mind is celebrating the team's achievements, and this light worries has also been diluted by the atmosphere of joy.

This year the team is downbeat, and the emotion of parting becomes more obvious.

Beckham was destined to leave, and some people wondered whether or not to leave...

The surprise that the boss came back did not last long.

※※※

Beckham is a player who can build a good relationship with his teammates, so although he is very famous and his brilliance is enough to make the whole team in his shadow, but the relationship between him and his teammates is always very harmonious. He is very relevant.

However, before the final round of the league, everyone in the Forest team was very surprised to receive a small gift from Beckham.

Even Dunn is no exception. His gift was specially sent by Beckham.

"After playing tomorrow's game, this season will be over. So this is a special thank you gift, Tony." In private, Beckham didn't call Dunn "Boss", but called him by his first name. Personal relationships are close.

"Thank me?" Dunn felt ashamed. "I gave Albertini the best parting gift when he left. But when you left, I couldn't get anything out." He spread his hands and patted his pockets. "What else do you thank me?"

"Ha." Beckham smiled, "When I decided to join Nottingham Forest, I just wanted to prove that I was not a vase again in a place closest to the British public. But I never thought I could win a championship later in my career. Cup and league championship trophy. Is this gift not heavy enough, Tony?"

Dunn smiled and said nothing.

"Two years is not a long time, but I have a deep memory. Nottingham Forest is a good place, but unfortunately I can only stay for two years." Beckham sighed suddenly.

"With your words, I will be content. David." Dunn thinks this is the best affirmation of his work. "Are you going to America?"

Beckham nodded: "I took the European Super Cup, the English Charity Shield, the World Club Cup, the European Champions Cup, the Premier League Championship... I have nothing to pursue in football. I have signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy. A contract is set and I will play for another two years. But that is not a football game, but a show." He shrugged.

The outside boasted that his trip to the United States to play football had a profound impact. He said that he would bring green to the desert of football. He is a big man who can change the status quo of American football and can make more Americans like football... In fact, these are nonsense . He knew very well in his heart that he had no such influence at all, and Pele did not make the American football environment much better. How could he change the interests of a country by himself? He just went to accompany his wife...

Speaking of other wives, Dunn would also like to thank this woman who is famous for working against the head coach. At least in the two seasons of Beckham playing in Nottingham Forest, Victoria did not trouble herself. It seems that Beckham really made a lot of effort to persuade his wife, and it is probably the content of the agreement to go to the United States for another two years. Perhaps there is another reason. After all, there are some private friendships, so I don't want to make everyone's relationship too stiff...Sania is usually taken care of by her.

Thinking of this, Dunn suddenly asked: "Do you want to sell your villa in Nottingham?"

Beckham nodded: "I won't have too much time to return to the UK in the future. I have houses in Manchester and London. Victoria feels that Nottingham does not need to stay."

Dunn clapped his hands: "Just so, sell it to me!"

Beckham smiled. "You don't think it's good to live where you are, Tony?"

Dunn touched his nose: "Hey. I'm the only one who can live anywhere. But from now on, if two people live together, it's better to have a better house. It's not time to say goodbye, David. Come to Brazil during the holiday after the season!"

Beckham was a little surprised: "Brazil?"

"Huh, don't you know?" Dunn also felt strange.

"what do you know?"

"Sonia and I are getting married, just during the summer vacation..."

Beckham's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

"Hey, don't you have to make such an expression?" Dunn curled his lips.

"It's really the first time I heard about you guys getting married this summer..." Beckham was also aggrieved. His best friend was about to get married, but he just heard it. How does this tell him to prepare gifts?

"Huh? Shania didn't tell Victoria?"

Beckham shook his head.

"Didn't the paparazzi find out?"

Beckham continued to shake his head.

Dunn smiled happily: "This little girl is doing a good job of keeping secrets!" He estimated that Shania was so strict in keeping secrets to give the media a big surprise, so that she could see these media after learning the shocking news. Reaction. As she said herself-that must be fun!

"Well, David. You should be happy now. You are the first person in the world to know the news except for me, Shania, and her parents! I was going to wait for the game to be finished. , I'll send invitations to the whole team again." Dunn patted Beckham's arms.

Beckham also laughed: "I should congratulate you, Tony. You and Shania are really good friends. I don't know how many times I have talked about the relationship between you and Victoria in private. It's not easy... what made you finally make up your mind?"

Dunn remembered the back of making sesame paste for himself in the hospital ward. "David. If one day when you think you are dying, the first person struggling to open your eyes to see is someone who is taking care of you, how would you feel?"

Beckham did not answer this question because he knew Tony was not asking him at all.

"I want to thank the heart disease. Although it made the team's performance slippery. But we can make a comeback next season. I appreciate it only because it allows me to find the person I love the most." Dunn shrugged, this He said that he had no psychological barriers at all. There may also be a female reporter Lisa Ariel among the people he would like to thank. Because as she said-admitting to love is not a shame.

Beckham saw his head coach look happy and touched his chin and said, "Oh, what wedding gift should I give you, Tony?"

"Don't think about it, sell me your house cheaper."

"No problem, Tony. Deal!"

The hands of two people are held together.

Before leaving, Dunn told Beckham about the arrangements for tomorrow’s game: “David, you are the starter. This is your farewell game for the Forest team... You don’t have to prove anything, just enjoy the home fans. Cheers."

Beckham nodded, turned and walked away.

Watching him leave the office, Dunn sighed gently.

More and more people he knows leave him.

One day, when he is standing in front of the coach's bench in the city stadium, all he can see are people who can only give him a lifetime memory. Can he still be friends with the players?

※※※

The main news in Nottingham's media these days is all about two people.

The return of Tony Dunn and the departure of David Beckham.

"Nottingham Evening Post" made a special issue, reviewing in detail Beckham's two seasons with the Forest team, which helped the Forest team beat Manchester United to the Premier League throne, and also fell into injury along with the team. The loss of the sick quagmire. But these are not important, he is leaving. "Thousands of people" will not belong to Nottingham Forest from now on, forever. It is said that the Manchester United club is planning to retire Beckham as the global ambassador of Manchester United, taking over the class of Bobby Charlton. After all, he is also from Manchester United.

There have also been several famous players in the history of Nottingham Forest, but the club itself has no continuation of the glorious tradition, so it is impossible to cultivate the infinite loyalty of these stars to the club, nor to allow those stars to serve as global ambassadors after retirement. This is a pity for all Nottingham Foresters.

Although Hierro has played for the Forest, he only has feelings for Real Madrid. Albertini was once the captain of the Forest team, but after retiring, he insisted on returning to Italy and Milan. Now it's David Beckham's turn. In the near future, it is foreseeable that there will be Van Nistelrooy and Van der Sar.

When will we have a legend in the history of our club? Many of the players who used to follow the old man Brian Clough to fight the world have now become famous coaches, but they are scattered all over the country, and the connection with Nottingham Forest is pitiful. With business and money making football more and more impetuous today and in the future, is it possible that Nottingham Forest will have its own Albertini, its own Hierro, and its own Beckham?

This question will be related to Tony Dunn. Forest fans firmly believe that as long as their Tony is there, the Forest team will not collapse. But now, Tony Dunn has a heart problem, who can guarantee how long he can stay in this position?

One year? Two years? Or three years and five years? Can he still sit in this position like his predecessor Brian Clough for eighteen years?

If just praying can make a person healthy, all Nottingham Forest fans will pray for Tony Dunn before three meals a day, hoping that he is healthy, his heart works well, and he will live a long life.

On the day of the game, the sky was beautiful and the sky was clear.

Starting at noon, the influx of fans entered the stadium one after another. Before the game started, everyone was already seated. The city stadium, which can hold up to 30,000 people, is packed with seats. The special significance of this game for the fans of the Forest team is to welcome the return of Tony Dunn and bid farewell to Beckham.

Dunn gave the last speech for the players in the locker room.

"Our first official game this season was the Community Shield. The opponent in that game was Portsmouth. Now the opponent in the final round of the league is still Portsmouth. It's a coincidence, isn't it? This is great, this A bad season requires a good end. We defeated Portsmouth in the Community Shield. Now I hope you will also use defeating Portsmouth to say goodbye to this season and to see David off. You all received his little gift , This gift is not for free!"

The big guy laughed.

Although the team's final ranking is not ideal. But as long as the boss comes back, the team will be angry again, and all problems seem to be no longer a problem, because no matter how big the problem is, there is still a problem.

"The current situation is that we have no desires and desires, and Portsmouth still hopes to compete for the UEFA Cup admission next season. Look, what a good opportunity..." Dunn smiled, "Just bad others' Good things have almost become our tradition. In fact, it is not that we deliberately made bad things, it is the opportunity...Last time it was Liverpool, this time it was Portsmouth. Nottingham Forest has never been a stepping stone to help the opponent succeed. Those opponents who think they can step on our bodies must pay a heavy price for thinking like this! Liverpool is not the first, and Portsmouth is not the last! Tell Portsmouth with practical actions that you want to be in Nottingham What a stupid idea to get something cheap and profit from the forest! They think we are starving tigers, and we must let them know that the tigers at this time are the most terrible! Portsmouth **** think we are Who is it? We are Nottingham Forest! Nottingham Forest that covers the sky!!"

※※※

When Tony Dunn, his colleagues, and substitute players came out early and walked to the coaching bench, he was startled by the deafening cheers.

When he reacted, he realized that everyone was shouting at his name.

"Tony! Tony! Tony—"

"Welcome to our Majesty the King——!!!" The broadcaster yelled hoarsely in the roar.

"Welcome back, Tony!!" Fat John chanted with his guys.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty the King--!"

"Tony! Take care of yourself!"

"We love you! Tony!" This is a group of crazy beauty fans. They wore three-point clothes, and their plump chests were written with individual subtitles in colorful paint, and they were arranged in order to read "We love Tony".

The voice was connected in one piece, resounding through the sky.

Don and Chris Lack walked past him, as if they hadn't seen this scene, the substitute players also covered their mouths and grinned across and walked to the bench. Dunn was left by one person. He stood on the sidelines and looked up at the crowded stands.

Everyone got up from their seats, and they raised their arms in bows. Just like the treatment he received in this stadium after the end of last season. Thirty thousand people shouted a person's name in unison, and the sound was loud for a long time.

This is his personal glory.

This is the life he wants.

He raised his arm and waved upward.

The roar went to the next level.

Shania in the box saw this scene and curled her lips: "I'm going to be jealous..."

※※※

When the players on both sides were still in the hallway waiting to be brought into the court by the referee, they suddenly heard the deafening roar before they exchanged it, which shocked everyone. After they all heard what the roar was shouting, the players of Nottingham Forest laughed. The Portsmouth players are all blue.

Portsmouth coach Palin, who is already sitting on the coaching bench of the visiting team, was just as shocked by the crazy atmosphere of City Stadium.

When Dunn won the double crown a season ago, a grand celebration party was held here. He was crowned the king, dressed in a robe, and stood here holding the crown high. He has been ridiculed by countless media and colleagues, thinking that his arrogance has reached the point of abnormality.

But now he saw it with his own eyes and heard with his ears. Here, in the City Stadium, in the eyes of Nottingham Forest fans, Tony Dunn is indeed their king...

Palin, who wanted to take three points away from home and get the team qualified for the UEFA Cup next season, suddenly felt a bit of chill and climbed onto his back.

John Mortensen, who was responsible for explaining the game, was also affected by the atmosphere: "Look at this scene! It is not difficult to understand why Nottingham Forest exploded with amazing energy when Dunn was coaching. He is indeed the king here. I think Portsmouth is going to be unlucky!"

※※※

Portsmouth is indeed unlucky.

When the players later played, Beckham also received a very high standard of welcome treatment, but the cheers for him were still smaller than Dunn's...

After the game started, the whole Forest team was like seeing a rabbit jumping around after being hungry for ten and a half days, and the murderous aura that the whole Portsmouth team felt scared and shocked broke out.

During the game, every time Dunn walked out of the coach's bench and stood on the sidelines to direct the game, no matter what the situation was on the court, cheers would immediately sound from the stands.

Dunn himself was held back for five months. How about the enthusiasm of these fans being held back for five months?

When the team is in trouble, any team dares to lose. How they hope that the person standing on the sidelines is the spirited Tony Dunn, even if he does nothing, just standing there can give everyone a strong hint-no problem, everything is okay. I have a way.

If he curses on the sidelines, we will follow him to curse!

If he is ecstatic, we will dance!

If he faints again...we will support him behind!

Tony, as long as you are there, we are not afraid of anything! What is nothing this season? We will make a comeback next season and take back everything we lost!

No need to be polite with them! This was originally Robin Hood's nest, and we are all descendants of robbers. Robbing is our old line!

Grab it, grab it! Grab the noble master's property and women, and drive them out of the castle!

Grab it, grab it! Take back a world! !

"It was originally David Beckham's last game to bid farewell to Britain, and the protagonist became Tony Dunn." John Mortensen laughed. "But I don't think David will be jealous."

In the eighty-eighth minute, Dunn finally replaced Beckham, this time Beckham was the protagonist. He hugged the nearest teammates, then walked slowly down, raising his hands and applauding as he walked. No Portsmouth player complained that he was deliberately delaying the game. Because at this time it makes no sense to delay without delay. They are not behind one or two goals...

The fans of Nottingham Forest all stood up and applauded to see Beckham off. There is a world of difference from the previous madness. They are more moved and thankful for the feelings that the former Manchester United player has. Although Beckham's heart does not belong to Nottingham Forest, the Forest fans are not ungrateful people. They still thank David for every assist and every goal that David contributed to the Forest in these two seasons-if there were no "ten thousand people" Fan", so it’s hard to say who will be the last league champion last season.

Mortensen was also a little emotional: "When David Beckham was a kid, I witnessed his lob shot in Manchester United's midfield. When he became a'heartthrob', I still He is explaining his Manchester United game. Now that he is thirty-four years old, he decided to leave England and go to the other side of the Atlantic. I am still explaining the Premier League game. I can only wish him good luck, all the best in that country. ."

"Two assists in this game, he put a perfect end to his career in Nottingham Forest. It is not his responsibility for the forest team to fall this season. He can leave without worry and can accept such applause. Goodbye , David!"

Beckham finally walked down, and he hugged Dunn who was waiting on the sidelines.

"Goodbye, David. Good luck in America."

"Goodbye, Tony. I also wish you good luck here."

Dunn suddenly felt moist in his eye sockets, and he quickly interrupted this emotion: "No! This is not the time to say goodbye! Don't forget to go to Brazil when you are on vacation. I am waiting for you at the wedding and must come!"

Beckham also laughed: "Of course I will go, Tony. You and Shania are my friends, why would I not go?"

The two separated, and Beckham went to hug and bid farewell to the forest team coaches behind Dunn and the substitute players one by one.

The game also ended subsequently.

4:1. At their home court, the Nottingham Forest team ended this messy season with a hearty victory. See off David Beckham and welcome the return of King Tony Dunn.

Portsmouth lost the game and also lost hope of entering the UEFA Cup next season. But at the City Stadium, in the Nottingham Forest, who else cares about their opponents' mood?

The 08-09 season passed like this.

After many years, how many people will miss it? (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!)
