Godfather Of Champions

David Gill is still waiting for this to happen again. He called Tony Dunn, but he didn't expect Dunn's answer at all. He felt that instead of letting Dunn take over Manchester United, he might as well persuade Ferguson to change his mind.

Dunn found a problem. Since Jill called him, the news that he might take over Manchester United has spread more and more.

This phenomenon made him vigilant-if Manchester United really wanted to dig themselves into the head coach, it would be unreasonable to preach so much before things were completely unscrupulous. But if they don't promote it, how does the media know? What Manchester United deliberately revealed...

What did you deliberately reveal? The chaos forest team military spirit.

During this time everyone was discussing whether Tony Dunn would go to Manchester United. Some people say Dunn is very suitable for Manchester United, some people say Dunn will not leave the forest. It seems that whatever is said makes sense. Because of this, this matter makes people feel even more confused-people who don't understand the truth don't know what to believe. Tony Dunn’s loyalty and status in Nottingham Forest will surely be challenged.

Thinking of this, Dunn felt that all this seemed to be Manchester United's psychological warfare.

But if this is Manchester United's psychological warfare, then they would be too smart. Although true and false, false and true is the highest level of calculation, but for a game, it is really not worth doing this-it is not a game related to the ownership of the league champion.

Just when Dunn couldn't figure out why Manchester United did this, he received another call.

This time it was not from David Gil, who hated him, but from Alex Ferguson.

"The cost of this psychological warfare is a bit high, Sir." Dunn said half-jokingly.

"Ha, it doesn't seem to be of any use to you. I haven't heard any bad voices from the forest team."

"Hey." Dunn rolled his eyes. If his team was so easily disturbed by an unfounded rumor, he could tie a rock to jump into the English Channel as the head coach. "So it's a fake for you to retire this time?"

"No, it's true this time. Tony. I'm seventy years old, and I have won countless honors. I think it's enough."

Dunn didn't say a word, and quietly listened to Ferguson to continue talking on the phone.

"This time I won't change my mind again. Do you know why I called you? I want to persuade you to accept Manchester United's invitation. Tony, Nottingham Forest is not your final destination. You should have a bigger stage."

"I think the current stage is enough." Dunn laughed, and did not directly reject Ferguson.

"No. At Manchester United, you are fully capable of being the second me, but at Nottingham Forest... you can't get any more reputation. That's a small team that cannot meet all your requirements. You are only forty now. At the age of two, you can work for Manchester United for twenty-eight years, until you are seventy, which is longer than my time at Manchester United. You will become a legend... But in Nottingham Forest, you will not get these."

Dunn smiled: "Why are you so sure?"

"It's very simple, your boss is not a rich man."

Modern football is a world of capital. If you don't have money, you can't play it. At least you can't play well. Evan Daugherty is indeed not a rich man. He may have to rank downstream among the bosses of the Twenty Premier League clubs. For so many years, Dunn's life has actually been tight and has never been wide.

Ferguson believes that when he comes to Manchester United, at least the club will not be too restrictive in economics. He has the conditions to buy the people he wants to buy, coupled with Manchester United's reputation, it is not difficult to build another team that can dominate the world. Manchester United wants to continue to dominate the Premier League after retiring and to gain access to Europe, it must rely on this man.

Looking at the coaches over the years, only he is the most suitable and capable person for Manchester United.

But unfortunately, this man is more stubborn than he thought...

"I have to admit that you are right, Jazz. Manchester United is richer and more prestigious than the Forest team. If I move to Manchester United, it will be a new career opportunity and progress for me personally. Although we are opponents, My opinion of this team is not very good, but I personally respect this team. I will not refuse the invitation of Manchester United because of personal disgust. However, I am afraid I cannot accept the invitation."

"why?"

"Manchester United is very good, Arsenal is very good, Chelsea and Liverpool are also very good...but I only suit Nottingham Forest."

"You are too idealistic to say that."

Dunn smiled: "Of course I know myself best. Sir, when you consider your successor, you must be from Manchester United's perspective, right? And I have no reason to think about this from Manchester United's perspective. , I only from my perspective-I don't think I am suitable for Manchester United."

In the past, when the two of them talked about the future Manchester United coach, Ferguson jokingly invited Dunn, and Dunn naturally refused with a joking tone. But this time, Ferguson came to the real, Dunn's tone was also more solemn.

"Jazz, do you think that when I went to Manchester United, can I have the power that I am now in Nottingham Forest? Can I manage a group of big-name players in the locker room? Can you guarantee that Mr. David Gill will not be prejudiced against me... …"

"I believe David is a person who puts the big picture first."

"Well, even so. Manchester United is a big club, a giant, and a team with extremely high prestige in the world. In contrast, Nottingham Forest is a small club. They have won several championships, but they are still People are regarded as upstarts. Although we don’t lack anything except no money. But I prefer small clubs."

Dunn threw his emotional card.

"I also came into Manchester United from a small club." Ferguson responded, "I think a person needs to make an important decision in his life. When I chose to coach Manchester United, it was a choice I will never regret in my life. At the time I was in Aberdeen. I also won a few championships, just like the Nottingham Forest. If I continue to work there, people will not know who Alex Ferguson is in twenty-six years. And you, Tony... you have Such an opportunity, I don’t want you to let it go."

"Ha!" Dunn laughed, "Jazz. I took a small team that was promoted from the First Division. With insufficient funds, I won two European championships, a league championship, and a League Cup. The champion, in the Premier League, became the fifth force to compete with Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea. I think someone will remember me even 30 years later." Dunn said this with confidence. Full. He never feels humble or embarrassed about what he has achieved before, and he accepts it with confidence.

In fact, he does have the capital to be proud of. In addition to the league championships and domestic cups less than other coaches, among the top five coaches in the Premier League, he has won the most European championships.

Benitez won it once in Istanbul in 2005, Ferguson won it once at the Nou Camp in 1999, Rijkaard once defeated Dunn in Paris in 2006, and Wenger never took the Champions League. . Only Tony Dunn has won the Champions League twice, and twice in a row. In terms of European honor alone, no coach in England can match him. With this alone, he is enough to rank among the top coaches of the Premier League and the top coaches of England. Even in the history of English football, there are not even a handful of coaches who have won the Champions League twice-there are only two people: the great coach Bob Paisley, who led Liverpool to four Champions Leagues, and Nottingham Forest. Brian Clough, the founder of a glorious era. Now Tony Dunn has his name engraved on it. In this record, he is the first active coach of the Premier League.

It can be said that the current Tony Dunn and the above famous coaches are completely of the same grade. As for Keegan and his like... they are all under Dunn, at best second-rate.

Ferguson also felt that from this point, he could not refute Dunn, but he had other ways: "Yes, we cannot change what has happened. But there are many possibilities for future things... Do you think that Nottingham Forest is now Is there any big development in the future?"

"Why not? We have a group of talented players, and they are loyal." Dunn shrugged.

"But the high level of the club behind you is an unstable factor. Do you know when they will forcefully sell your favorite players without asking for your consent? For example, Ribery..."

These words silenced Dunn for a while. Because he believed that what Ferguson said could become a fact. This may be the only thing that makes him feel bad about the Forest team-Allen Adams is a profit-seeking person. When the club needs money, he does not rule out the possibility of continuing to sell people. Evan Adams is a smart man, so he called himself and Allen to contain each other, but what is the force that supports himself and Allen to contain? It is the result. Once the team's performance has declined and is unstable, then he will not be able to obtain the status of equal dialogue with Allen in the senior management.

For so many years, he has actually been walking on the single-plank bridge, and his heart has never been relieved.

"There is no way, no club is perfect. It can meet all the requirements of the head coach without causing trouble and trouble for the head coach. There is no such club, Jazz. Whether it is my forest or your Manchester United . For the current situation, I am quite satisfied."

"You are such a stubborn person! Is the name'Manchester United' so unattractive?"

"At least for now...I would rather stay in Nottingham Forest."

"So, it's possible for you in the future?"

"Who is right about the future? Just like you said, if the senior management of the forest sells out my players, I may leave there."

"I thought you were very loyal."

"I'm not a fool, ha! Others treat me well and respect me, and I naturally give them back. On the contrary, I will not force myself to stay in a place I don't like."

"Well..." Ferguson felt that it was almost impossible to convince Dunn now, but he had to leave a thought for himself. "I look forward to seeing you on the coach's bench at Old Trafford in a few years."

"I think it's great now. How long can I see you on the coaching bench at Old Trafford? You didn't persuade me, would you not choose to retire? Besides, you don't have any Didn't you win a Champions League? You are not as good as me in this regard."

"I made up my mind this time that nothing will change. I will retire after the end of this season." Ferguson's remarks are categorical and non-joking.

Dunn opened his mouth. In fact, he never felt that Ferguson would really leave the position of Manchester United coach. He was at Manchester United before he started watching the game. For a long time, he was Manchester United and Manchester United was him. This ambitious, always full of fighting spirit, the old Scottish man, how could he be willing to leave this position? He would like Wenger to retire earlier than him. He also wants to continue to dominate the Premier League, continue to suppress Arsenal and Liverpool, fight with Wenger, continue to block the BBC, attack each other with the media, continue to buy and sell people, even Glazer, the president of Manchester United, had to be respectful when he saw him, and continued to play his leading role in the Dream Theater at Old Trafford.

How could he retire?

"You know what, Tony. My mother-in-law who always kicks me out to work every morning is also worried about my heart, and I know I am old. I don't want to die on the bench like Jok Stein."

Don't know why, this call to persuade Dunn to join Manchester United was suddenly full of feelings of parting.

Maybe Ferguson was also aware of this problem, and he quickly interrupted the topic. "Anyway, Tony. I hope you will think about it, no matter how long you think about it. If you decide to change your mind, I welcome you to call me. You don't have to worry about the management of the locker room and the relationship with the top. I was at Manchester United for twenty-six years. I'm happy to help if you need help."

"Thank you for your kindness, Sir."

Ferguson did not say anything to death, and Dunn did not bluntly refuse. In any case, this old man also considers himself, although his starting point is for Manchester United...

※※※

There are rumors in the media that Dunn will join Manchester United next season. Many media have vowed to claim that Manchester United Club has signed an agreement with Tony Dunn in private. Although Dunn and Nottingham Forest Club still have a four-year contract, Manchester United is willing to pay for the liquidated damages and bring Dunn successfully. To Old Trafford.

What they said makes sense, and it looks like the truth. After all, it is very difficult to refuse the invitation of Manchester United.

If this news is officially confirmed, it will surely become the most sensational news in the Premier League this season.

Old Trafford's home team coaching seat has not changed hands for 26 years. If Dunn really became Ferguson's successor, it would be no less than the American president turning from white to black.

There are many stories about him and Manchester United, and they have even seriously affected the normal training of the Forest team. There are even people inside the club who come to find out if what the outside media says is true.

For example, after Evan Daggerty learned that Manchester United was going to dig a corner, he immediately called Dunn, who was preparing for the Champions League in Glasgow, to listen to his voice. Dunn's answer gave him a reassurance: "I will fulfill the contract with the club."

Don and Chris Luck also expressed concern about this matter. Dunn also dispelled their doubts in the first place. One of the foundations of his doing well in the Forest is that he has always received full support from the coaching staff, so in any case, there can be no gaps between him and the coaching staff.

As for the players, Dunn also expressed his loyalty to them in the locker room of Celtic Park: "I ask you to play for me, and I will naturally return you with the same attitude. I hate cheating, if I really want to leave, I will tell you. Now the fact is that I am not going anywhere except Nottingham Forest. So there is nothing to worry about. Win the game in front of me, and then we will return to Nottingham together!"

In the final game, the Forest team went on a rotation lineup and also won the Celtics 3:2 away. During the game, Dunn was on the sidelines to supervise and direct the game from beginning to end. From his performance, it is impossible to see that he has been disturbed by a series of rumors recently. When the team fell behind 1:2, a beautiful substitution changed the situation and the team finally turned defeat into victory.

The commentator commented that Dunn was showing his ability to Manchester United's senior management, proving that he can become a qualified successor to Ferguson.

However, at the press conference after the game, Dunn publicly refuted recent media rumors:

"It's all nonsense. I won't go to Manchester United. I don't have to deceive you here, because after doing that, I don't have any money to take. In addition, I have no interest in being someone's successor. If you play I must speculate about what other clubs I will coach, so please write this-'Who will become Tony Dunn II'."
