Godfather Of Champions

"There are two rounds left in the league. These are the two most critical rounds for Nottingham Forest and Chelsea... Now Scolari's team has been eliminated except for the Champions League. They have not made it to the final. If next season Cannot participate in the Champions League, I believe Scolari's life will be very good-although Abramovich said before, no matter what results this season, Scolari will not be fired-but who believes his words ?"

The TV in the bar is broadcasting Sky TV’s "Soccer Ninety Minutes". Although the anchor has changed for several generations, this football program still holds a high status in the eyes of British audiences.

Unlike BBC TV's "Today's Tournament", which is broadcast after the game on Saturday and Sunday, this program broadcast on Friday evening is a preview of the upcoming league.

In the last round of the league, Nottingham Forest drew Manchester United away. Before the game was over, this score once caused many Forest fans to be heartbeat and end the season early. But I didn't expect Chelsea to be tied in another match before the end!

That night, this forest bar witnessed two extreme emotions among fans. Kenny Burns's beer is sold out.

"Nottingham Forest escaped from the dead. There are two league rounds left, and the opponents of the two teams are not strong. If the Forest team can maintain a winning streak, then they will return to the Champions League next season. This is for the fans of the Forest team. It must be the happiest thing..."

In the bar, a drinker yelled: "Actually, I can accept the UEFA Cup... I don't want to put too much pressure on those boys..."

Immediately someone booed him: "Don't make a mistake, man. It's not the kids who are under pressure, but Tony!"

"I hope everything is normal in his heart..."

"Hey, gossip... Shania sneaked back to Nottingham again..."

"WOOOW-I can guarantee that Tony is free from stress!"

"Ah ha ha!"

A group of men in the bar laughed with glasses. Although Dunn has rarely come here because of quitting smoking and drinking, his influence is still everywhere. The fans who have gathered at the Forest Bar for a long time seem to call themselves "Tony Dunn's supporters".

※※※

Tony Dunn spent the last night before the penultimate round of the league with his wife.

Because the last two rounds are related to the future of the team next season and financial income, it is rumored that Tony Dunn is under pressure. So Shania took advantage of her free time to fly back, hoping to help Dunn spend these two weeks.

Although Dunn felt that his heart was not fragile yet, he didn't know how many times he had encountered more stressful situations, this time it was really not a stress. But he is also happy that Shania, who has been in the United States, can come back to accompany him. After all, it is a husband and wife, and they are separated from each other... Living in a villa of hundreds of square meters by one person is really too lonely and deserted.

In order to welcome Shania, he personally cooks and cooks a large table of Chinese food-British food is really not "good food", so he only cooks Chinese food.

"Uncle Tony, aren't you afraid that I will gain weight?" Shania asked with her arms akimbo looking at the large table of rich dishes.

Dunn pinched Shania's waist dishonestly: "I don't think I need to worry for the time being."

"Hey!" Shania slapped off Dunn's thief, pulled the chair away and sat down. She didn't start in a hurry, but looked at Dun En, who was sitting across from her, "I haven't seen you for three months, do you miss me, Uncle Tony?"

"You have asked this ten times today... Do you know? There is a saying in China: Little don't win the newlyweds. A brief separation and reunion is like we are still on our honeymoon... I feel this way now. "

"There's still this kind of saying... Don't..." Shania rolled her eyes and thought, "I will run around like this in the future, so don't we seem to be on our honeymoon every time? It has become a very romantic thing!" She clapped her hands and laughed, happy for her new discovery.

"I don't think so." Tang En curled his lips, "If possible, I hope you will always be by my side."

Shania smiled and looked at Uncle Tony, who was depressed. "Uncle Tony, do you know? I have been in school when I was in Los Angeles..."

"Huh?" Dunn was a little surprised when she heard her say this. He really didn't know this matter, and Shania had never mentioned it to him. He thought that Shania was honing her acting skills and preparing for the new film in addition to gatherings with the stars in Los Angeles. "Are you still in school? What did you learn?"

"Costume design." Shania blinked.

Dunn would understand after thinking about it. As a model, Shania is naturally sensitive to fashion, and she also has her own unique opinions. If it is a costume design, Dunn believes that she can actually do better than acting in a movie. But why did Shania suddenly remember to learn fashion design?

"Hey, Uncle Tony. Shall we discuss something?"

"Ok?"

"If I am pregnant, I will withdraw from the modeling and show business world."

Dunn was so scared that the spoon in his hand fell. He looked at Shania with a serious face: "You're kidding, right?"

"How could it be a joke? I can't go to catwalks and acting with a big belly?" Shania said with a smile, but her tone was very firm.

"You can wait for the baby..."

"Uncle Tony, this business is very competitive. After I have a baby and get back in shape, who knows what it is like in the circle? Do you know why I should study fashion design?"

"You have considered such long-term things..."

"Who said long-term? Pregnancy time is a simple matter." Shania looked at Dunn with a smile, "Let’s start tonight, Uncle Tony!"

※※※

Dunn and Shania spent the night at home, and the next day they went to the stadium with great energy to prepare for the game.

Every time I see the young and beautiful Shania moaning happily under her, letting him pick it up will make him "boil with blood"-a desire to conquer is burning in my heart. This emotion will not die after they have made love, but will be carried to the next day's work.

He is a somewhat machismo. Whether he is conquering women or conquering opponents, he can bring him a pleasant experience.

From this perspective, it's really time for Shania to come back...

Therefore, in the locker room of the home team of the City Stadium in the afternoon, Dunn passionately issued a call to his players to enter the European Champions Cup next season:

"...Although I have not won the UEFA Cup so far, but if there is a Champions League winner, we can win. Why do we have to fight for any UEFA Cup? Chelsea and us are only one point away, if we don’t Be careful, they can replace them at any time. I don't want to see this after the league. You must be clear about this-only the Champions League is what I want!"

"There is nothing to worry about opponents like Middlesbrough. As long as you play normally, the victory of this game belongs to us... Remember, don't give our opponents any chance, whether it is the opponent in this game or the one in The opponent who looks at us from behind and hopes we make mistakes!"

The final result was Nottingham Forest 2-0 over Middlesbrough at home. And Chelsea also won Hull City away.

With the last round of the league left, Nottingham Forest still leads Chelsea by one point.

※※※

"We are one game short of Europe!" After the game, the "Nottingham Evening Post" slapped such a headline.

Pierce Bruce’s voice is actually the voice of all Nottingham Forest fans at this time.

The opponent in the final round of the Nottingham Forest League is Stoke City!

Look at this name, luck is so good that it can't be better.

It's no wonder that some local media in Nottingham can't wait to announce that the Forest team will qualify for the European Champions Cup next season.

There are also people who are worried that such an almost one-sided optimistic view of Nottingham Forest will let the players of the Forest team float and then capsize in the last round of the gutter. After all, football is a park, anything can happen in this world.

But Dunn denied everyone's worries... or "expected".

He has emphasized more than once in team training to take the opponents in the final round seriously. And in this game, he completely depends on the players' state and emotions in training to choose the starting list.

Of course he knew that there might be a "capsule in the gutter", so he had to try his best to avoid it. The person who waited for the question to come to the door and still bemoaned that he shouldn't have been back then would definitely not be Dunn. He wants to let Chelsea lose the last bit of hope.

Let the opponent feel desperate... that's great!

※※※

The final round of the league will start at 3:30 on Saturday afternoon a week later.

Nottingham Forest challenged Stoke City away, Chelsea played at home and welcomed Portsmouth.

Before the game, everyone who followed these two games believed that Chelsea would not lose to Portsmouth at home, so the focus was actually on the away game in Nottingham Forest.

When Scolari was interviewed before the game, he was already putting pressure on the Forest team and fighting psychological warfare.

He said: "My players have never given up their tickets to enter the UEFA Champions League next season. But Nottingham Forest did a great job. They are very young, very young...there are some Premier League freshmen in the team. They can get what they are today. The results are already quite remarkable...Young people are very aggressive, but at the same time they are also unstable and can't bear the pressure."

The meaning of this is already very naked.

The local media in London is even more stark: "...If Nottingham Forest can only participate in the UEFA Cup, the loss in competition is not great. The biggest loss is actually money. Participating in the UEFA Cup is completely different from participating in the Champions League. Two concepts. Being able to participate in the Champions League means more economic income... Everyone knows that Nottingham Forest’s financial situation has not been very good in the past two years. Alan Adams has not found a new sponsor for their new stadium. , The unfinished project only repaired the foundation and put it there... For the team that has won the European Champions Cup four times, this unfinished stadium is like a scar on their glamorous appearance. Evan Doo Getty’s pressure must be great, and this pressure will naturally be transferred to the team-if they fail to qualify for the Champions League next season, this stadium may continue to rot..."

Look, how clever. Link the club's financial situation to the team's performance, and tell the players of the Forest team clearly-if you can't win, the pressure will be passed on to you. Who doesn't want to participate in the Champions League? Who doesn't want to make his life easier?

As a result, this youth-dominated team will constantly think about not losing or not before and during the game... When the pressure builds up to a certain level, it will "puff" like a punctured balloon.

This is the wishful thinking of Londoners.

But it's a bit sad... because the team they support already needs to rely on the opponent's mistakes to get a chance, which looks like some form of "charity."

In this regard, Dunn did not go to war with the other party in the media. That can only make things hotter and more complicated. It is not a good thing for the forest team in preparation. He is low-key and then low-key, just to counterattack with actual results after the game.

※※※

Stoke City doesn’t want to be a foil for other people’s celebrations on their home court. Their head coach Tony Pris said in an interview with some dissatisfaction: “I know we have no worries about relegation, and I also know that you care about it. Who will be the four teams representing England in the UEFA Champions League this season. But what I want to say is-ladies and gentlemen, please note that this is our home court. I will not let the away team be the protagonist here. ."

As Price said, from the beginning of the game, all the Stoke City players worked very hard. They were not eager to attack, but to defend firmly, and to contain the forest team's attack with a partial number advantage. This style of play makes Nottingham Forest a bit like a wolf facing a hedgehog-no way to speak.

On the Stamford Bridge side, Portsmouth raised his hands early and surrendered. Before the first half was over, Chelsea had scored two goals by crazy Chelsea, and according to the TV commentator who broadcast that game: "Watch Chelsea's momentum , I’m afraid there will be goals in the second half..."

The game between Forest and Stoke City was still 0:0 until the end of the first half. When the midfield whistle sounded, Sky TV played real-time scores on the live screens of the two games.

According to the current results, Chelsea overtook Nottingham Forest and ranked fourth by two points, while Nottingham Forest fell to fifth.

Dunn did not arrange any tactical adjustments during the intermission. He believes that there is no problem with the tactics, and it is not that the team has a problem with the scene. But if he doesn't say anything, the players may think that they have the problem.

So he said: "Guys, this is the last game of the season. Think about the summer a year ago and look at today. Why did we work hard for a season? Maybe some people think it's good to play the UEFA Cup. Some people may think that it is necessary to fight like this, just for a Champions League qualification and just to relieve the financial burden of the club... But I want to tell you clearly now-all the above is nonsense! My Nottingham Forest is a ball with this championship tradition Team! Although something happened last season that kept us away from Europe for a year. But now we are back. In our absence, the European powerhouses lived very comfortably. They were delicious and spicy, who It also does not threaten their traditional status-the favorites to win each year are those teams, I am tired of watching them! But now it is different, because we are coming back, and the Robin Hoods are coming back! Their honor, Their wealth...will not be able to keep it! So they panic...what are we going to do next?"

Dunn smirked: "Use the victory of this game to repeat this fact-yes! We are back again!"

※※※

In the second half, Chelsea did not stop their goal. Scored two goals in ten minutes and locked the score at 4:0. Portsmouth has no fighting spirit, just waiting for the end of the game. And the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge have long since paid no attention to the match that took place under their noses. All of them were wearing headphones and listening to the latest news of another stadium on the radio.

Even on the coaching bench where Scolari was, there were people using the radio to listen to the latest developments of the game.

The situation is as expected by the media before the game-the focus for the final Champions League spot is not Chelsea, but Nottingham Forest and Stoke City. What comforted Chelsea fans was that at least until the 80th minute, the score there was still 0:0.

After a brief moment of excitement, everyone began to wait anxiously for the end of the last ten minutes. They have never felt that ten minutes would be so long as they did today, as if they were going to exhaust all of their lives.

At the 87th minute, there was a voice on the radio:

"...Zikic's header! Was thrown out! Another shot! This time the goalpost helped Stoke City! Ah...and! Nottingham Forest has a chance...Freddy Iss Twood-GOAL! GOOOAL!!! GOOOOOOAL!!! They finally broke the deadlock! Nottingham Forest leads 1-0 away!!!"

Stamford Bridge was dead. Scolari and his assistants looked at each other, as if they didn't want to believe what they heard.

※※※

At the same time, at the Britannia Stadium, Stoke's home stadium, the coach and benches of Nottingham Forest have gone into madness. Everyone hugged each other, cheering and roaring. For this late goal.

Dunn was not so crazy. He just patted his chest and smiled at Tang beside him: "I almost thought I was about to miss the appointment..."

Tang shook his head and said, "Xianya can rest assured."

The TV commentator yelled: "Freddy Eastwood! The key to Nottingham Forest! He saved the team's efforts for a season three minutes before the end of the game, and also saved Tony Dunn's heart! Dunn Zhen He should give him a hard kiss on his sneakers! This is the 23rd league goal of the Gypsy this season! He ranks third in the league goalscorer! This season, he is in excellent form and has not been injured frequently. relationship……"

※※※

Stamford Bridge spent the final days of the game in a strange silence. Both sides on the court have no intention of fighting. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, those Chelsea players on the field ran to the bench to ask for news about the game in Nottingham Forest.

They were greeted by the frustrated faces of their teammates.

※※※

As soon as the game ended, Dunn was surrounded by many reporters on the coach's bench before he even had time to run on the court to celebrate the victory with the players.

"Last season the league was ninth, this season the league is fourth. Coach Tony Dunn, as a heart patient, your achievements are very brilliant. Congratulations! What can I say?"

Dunn pointed to the camera lens and smiled happily: "Tell the European guys that your old friends are back! Mourinho, the account of eliminating my team last season, we count next season!"

Gary Lineker turned around, behind which was a big screen showing Tony Dunn’s interview. The English football star said to the camera: "Tony Dunn has challenged the whole of Europe. Nope. Wrong, he is back."
