Godfather Of Champions

With the defeat of Stoke City in the final match, Chelsea became the last Premier League team to participate in the European Champions Cup next season. Tony Dunn has become a news figure that has attracted much media attention. His happy smiling face appeared in many media outlets, and his sentence "Tell European guys, your old friends are back" has even become the favorite quotation of Nottingham Forest fans in the past few days.

But when someone is happy, others are naturally lost.

On the second day of the end of the league, Chelsea officially announced that the head coach Scolari was relieved of his position. The statement thanked Scolari for his contribution to the team and affirmed his results-in fact, there is no certainty. In the two seasons Scolari led the team, he did not win a championship. But the polite words on the surface still have to be said. The statement did not point out the reason for Scolari's dismissal. Scolari, who left the club, also did not accept an interview with anyone and refused to comment on this.

But everyone knows it well. This season stopped in the Champions League semi-finals, and also lost the Champions League qualification next season, is the main reason Scolari dismissed get out of class. Regardless of Abramovich's money, he can buy many players for Chelsea. But the pressure of being a head coach at Chelsea may be even greater than that of Manchester United and Arsenal.

Like Scolari, there is also the former Manchester City coach Mark Hughes. Hughes must understand Scolari’s feelings at this moment very well-he was fired by the unbearable Manchester City Arab boss after the end of last season. Manchester City, which invested a lot of money, did not achieve matching results. The UEFA Cup is their only return. Mark Hughes said a word after he was fired, causing a sigh. He said: "I can finally get a good night's sleep."

As for Hughes' successor Kevin Keegan, he is still suffering in this position. The reason for reluctance to resign is just to let the club terminate the contract with him, so that he can get a lot of compensation. Now, the position of Manchester City's head coach has become a hot potato.

In comparison, Chelsea's situation is slightly better. After all, starting from Hoddle, through the inheritance of Gullit, Vialli, and Ranieri, to Mourinho, Chelsea is already a strong team in the Premier League. They are attracted to excellent players and excellent coaches. The force is much greater.

So Scolari just fired. Chelsea officially announced the successor-

"...We have reached an agreement with Mr. Frank Rijkaard. He is very willing to be the Chelsea head coach. Mr. Abramovich is also looking forward to Mr. Rijkaard's delight for Chelsea fans football……"

Anyone familiar with Abramovich would not be surprised by this candidate. Rijkaard, who is currently at home, is indeed the most suitable for Abramovich's requirements. Think about the artistic football he played in Barcelona. If you want to watch beautiful football, Rijkaard is the best candidate right now.

Rijkaard responded quickly. He accepted the invitation of the Chelsea club and saw it as a new challenge.

The previous rumors that Rijkaard will succeed Ancelotti as AC Milan's head coach have also been self-defeating.

The day after the news was announced, Rijkaard appeared in London and officially took office. Some media mentioned this when interviewing Dunn, hoping to hear his views on the new Chelsea coach.

Dunn felt very strange: "The personnel changes of the Chelsea club, why do you want to ask me what I think? I am not their personnel department head..."

The reporter smiled and said, "But wasn't you the one who caused their personnel changes, Mr. Tang En?"

Dunn was choked by the question. When he thought about it carefully, it was really like this. If he did not squeeze Chelsea from fourth in the league to fifth in the league, then Scolari might not be dismissed. After all, this kind of early termination, the club is to compensate the dismissed coach's termination fee, which is also a loss for the Chelsea club. If it wasn't for the grades that Abramovich really couldn't accept, who would like to fire people for fun?

"Well..." Dunn sighed, "I admire Rijkaard's achievements in Barcelona. But..." He thought that this former Barcelona coach is a bit personal, "...you must know this. Things, so the next season of the Premier League is another topic that you can hype about. For me, nothing has changed. My goal is championship and victory. I only care about these two things. Other things... ...I don't care."

Although he spoke boldly in front of reporters, this attitude was still considered by the "Tang Enhei" as "suffering a swollen face to fill a fat man." With the current situation of the Forest team, it can be considered a great result to be able to guarantee that it will be in the top four of the league every season. This guy Dunn wanted to win the championship...

Since we are going to show our ambitions in the new season, these people alone are definitely not enough. Nottingham Forest must look for players who can enhance the team's strength from the transfer market.

This requires money.

Dunn knows that the team can't spend too much money for him now. But he still plans to bite the bullet and go to Evan, hoping that he can give himself more money...

He thought this kind of thing would be difficult, but the result surprised him.

"I decided to shelve the plan for the construction of the new stadium indefinitely until the economic environment does not improve." In the club chairman's office, Evan Daggerty said to Dunn, who was surprised with a smile. "So now I have money to buy people for you."

"Alan...you know?" Dunn's first thought was not happiness, but what Alan Adams would think.

"This is his proposal." Evan laughed, "And our huge new stadium plan also needs to be revised... Anyway, these things make him a headache. Tony, you only need to lead the team to achieve results, I saw Regarding your interview, I hope you are not talking about it." He stepped forward and patted Dunn on the shoulder.

"Yes, champion... I never talk about it, talk can't help me win the championship. How much budget do you plan to give me in the new season, Evan?" He asked the most critical question.

"How much do you need, Tony?"

Dunn thought for a moment.

Every summer, the team is interested in a few players in their team, but it is always those people. He would not consider selling. Such as George Wood, Gareth Bale and Pepe.

If you want to expand your strength this summer, you basically cannot sell the team's mainstay players. And Dunn can accept the fact that those players who sold this reality can't actually sell a few money, so it is unrealistic to expect to sell the ball in exchange for transfer funds. Now the team's weakest relief is in the striker and midfield. Van Nistelrooy has returned to the team. He has received a new two-year contract, but his salary is much lower than his previous contract. This is the price...

His body is recovering well and he can play for the team again in the new season. But no one knows what the state is.

Niklas Milan and Victor Moses are still young and still need exercise. In the new season, the Forest team will fight in two lines, and the team implements a rotation system. Don't worry about their chances of competition. The only worry is whether their ability can keep up with the needs of the European arena. It now appears that Milan may not be a big problem, and Moses still needs training.

As a high center forward, Zikic will definitely occupy a place in the Forest team. Although his performance is not eye-catching, he is very practical.

Abangraho's speed is a new weapon in Dunn's hands, and his presence can make the team's style of play more varied.

Needless to say, Eastwood, last season was his best performance since his debut. As long as he is not injured, he must be the team's starter, and he and Van Nistelrooy are also the most experienced players in the Champions League on the front line of the Forest.

But this kind of striker's strength is still not enough, and it needs to be supplemented with a level striker.

What about the midfielder... George Wood and Lennon are trusted players, but Lennon is the only one on the right. Last season the team only focused on the domestic league, which naturally didn't matter. Now after the need for two-line combat, one person can definitely not last the entire season.

Shaheen's performance is not bad, after a season of training and running-in, he has improved. Being re-called into the Turkish national team may be a proof. Thiago Mendes is also a rotation player for the team. John Bostock Dunn wanted to rent him out for a year. He still needs to train. Also Adriano Mok will be loaned out.

Chris Cohen's performance is quite satisfactory and he is a good addition to the midfield lineup. He will definitely stay, and he will have many chances to play in two-line combat.

Petrov Dunn planned to sell him. On the one hand, the Bulgarian is getting old, the speed is not as good as before, and the state is gradually declining; on the other hand, there are still people who want to quickly show their gloves. It is said that Hoffenheim, the number one dark horse in the Bundesliga in the first two seasons, has taken a fancy to him. I want him to go to Germany to play his remaining heat. Petrov has moved this thought now. After all, he became famous in the Bundesliga, and it is not unfamiliar to go back now.

In this way, the midfielder's two wings continue to add strong players.

On the back line, there is not so much worry. Layton Barnes, Gareth Bale's performance is very stable. Last season, Barnes had a few chances to play, but with the coming of the new season, his chances will only increase.

The right back on Rafinha has fully grown up. His sharp offense from the wing and active defense have allowed him to secure the position of the forest team's top right back. There are many teams that are interested in him now, but Dunn will not consider selling.

Zimbanda is a special case. He is thirty-one years old, and Dunn has been thinking of finding a suitable candidate to let him go since a few years ago, but he is still in the team until now, and he has performed a good job. You can go all out if you need him to play, and there is no complaint from the bench. Last season, the team was able to finally qualify for the Champions League, he was indispensable. At the right-back position, his defense is much better than Rafinha. When Dunn needed the team to defend, he was more trustworthy than the Brazilian. Dunn also rediscovered the value of this Frenchman-he is not a star player, but he is indeed the kind of "role player" that no team can lack. They have their own roles and responsibilities. They are the foundation of a team. Dunn needs such a "role player". This summer, the club is negotiating a new contract with his agent for a period of four years. Once signed, this will almost be a lifetime contract: after four years, Zimbunda is more than 35 years old and can basically consider retirement directly.

Due to the shelving of the new stadium construction plan, coupled with the unsuccessful travel to China to find sponsorship activities. Dunn decided to put Sun Jihai on the transfer market. Whether it is a Chinese club, or a British Championship or League One club, as long as it can afford to open, sell it. Although it is no longer possible to sell at a high price now, and there is a big gap between the four million pounds that bought him, but if you wait another year, Sun Jihai will transfer freely, and the club will not get a penny. .

As for the central defender, Pepe is the main force that Ray can't move. Unless he is injured, he must start. And Kompany and Woodgate will belong to the rotation type central defender in the new season. After all, Woodgate's body is not as strong as Kompany, and minor injuries and illnesses are slightly frequent. Wes Morgan is a good supplement. But in the European game, Mogan can't count on it.

Five central defenders are enough, more is wasted.

The young left-back Joe Matoke struggled to adapt to his new position, central defender, last season. In the new season, he will be loaned out to accept the test of actual combat training.

"I think it's about 50 million... pounds." Dunn made a quick psychological estimate and reported a rough figure.

Evan frowned: "It's not too small, but I will find a way..." The frowning expression only appeared for a few seconds, and he smiled again, "Let's have a happy vacation with Shania. Don't think about anything. I'll let you know if the money matters are done, Tony. Where are you going to play?"

"China." Dunn shrugged. "Go and visit Tang's parents, they are also my...parents. Besides, I have a business contract to endorse there and I want to talk about it."

Hearing Dunn mentioned "China", Evan remembered his trip to China in the summer of 2008. At that time, Nottingham Forest had just defended the Champions League and won the double crown that season. It was in the limelight for a time and was proud of it. Wherever they went, there was a red storm, and it felt good to watch the fans and companies in East Asia pay homage to them. Unfortunately, all this is gone now. Alan Adams ran in China for almost half a year last season. When those companies heard that they were throwing money into the new stadium, they all shook their heads, lamenting the economic crisis, how difficult current affairs are, and no money in their hands. The rich and wealthy people are all state-owned enterprises. Even if someone wants to invest in the British real estate market, they dare not act rashly because of their identity.

Later, some people in the UAE proposed to inject capital, but instead of injecting capital into the stadium project, injecting capital into the club is tantamount to a disguised acquisition. Evan flatly refused-even if the Nottingham Forest is sold, it is not now. Now the other party can unscrupulously lower the price, and the fool will sell it.

Evan Daggerty was stunned for a while, and found that Dunn was still standing in front of him. So I smiled apologetically: "I wish you a good time, Tony. If possible, bring me and Alan some gifts from China..."

Dunn nodded: "Then I have to think hard about what gifts to bring to satisfy you."

"Haha, don't bother! Anything will do. We are not the little kids waiting for Christmas to flip through the presents."
