Godfather Of Champions

Two days passed quickly, and the day of the game was approaching. Both sides have made preparations for this war.

Mourinho will never allow himself to make any mistakes at home. The hardest thing to play in the knockout stage is the approach of first offense. But no way, who told them to lose the group first at the last minute of the group stage?

Mourinho's plan is to never lose points in his home court. He requires the team's defense to be zero-block opponents, so he will insist on defensive counterattacks at home.

And Dunn's idea is also very simple-is to score goals. The advantage of playing away first is that there is still a home game as a buffer, so there are more opportunities for adjustment. An away goal is the most important thing. It must be scored and must be scored. This is why Dunn also arranged 4231 on the away game instead of 442. People may choose defense when playing away, but Dunn does the opposite, emphasizing offense.

Winning Inter Milan is naturally the best result. Losing... That is definitely not allowed.

Until the start of the game, Dunn and Mourinho did not meet again. The two head coaches staggered when they were interviewed at the press conference, and they had to wait until after the game to appear together at the conference.

But the media do not feel sorry. Because there will be more exciting stories when we meet again after the game. Now, there is really no topic of hype... The war of words between the two sides has been almost fought.

Although Dunn and Mourinho had not met before, they had already competed through various media. Looking at their explosive remarks, I really admire these two people. The Italian media sighed even more. Mourinho has been a little lonely since he came to Italy. Now he has finally found an opponent...

Mourinho is an alien in Serie A. His unabashed style broke the superficial harmony of Serie A. When have the academic coaches met such a person before? They debated at most tactical things together, even if they quarreled with others, they were very unqualified. All defeated in front of Mourinho’s sharp teeth, some people still want to learn from Mourinho's verbal battles with others, but as a result, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, making themselves look more like a superficial clown .

So afterwards, Mourinho gradually didn't bother to spit with those people-it was really a cheap thing.

Now when Tony Dunn brought his Forest team to Italy, people finally saw Mourinho, who was once so fluent in the Premier League.

It is really fun to have a well-matched opponent in such things as psychological warfare and verbal warfare.

Dunn and Mourinho are like dry wood and raging fire, they are perfect matches.

On the night of March 1st, the Meazza Stadium was brightly lit and full of voices. The first round of the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup kicked off here.

The Nottingham Forest fans who came specially from England entered the stadium under police escort. There are some extreme Inter Milan fans who provoke them unkindly. Not to be outdone, Nottingham Forest fans glared back.

The police in charge of the stadium are like enemies. The reputation of the Italian fans and the English media is not very good, not to mention that the atmosphere has been heated up by the two coaches before the game. If anyone wants to see the head coaches of the two teams spat each other, then it must be the policemen who are responsible for maintaining law and order. The head coaches will stir up the atmosphere and will also stir up the emotions of the fans. , That's a very dangerous thing. If not strictly controlled, a small amount of Mars may cause a volcanic eruption.

When the fans on both sides were at war, the players on both sides had already started to warm up.

Dunn did the job he should do in the locker room and slipped out. He ran into Mourinho on the sidelines, who hadn't seen him in years.

"Ha, what a coincidence. Mr. Mourinho." Dunn greeted each other with a smile.

Mourinho was stern and didn't want to ignore him.

"Don't put on such an expression, Mr. Mourinho. I won't ask you to drink anymore, I've quit that thing a long time ago. You are the master here, you can't be so indifferent."

"Want me to say'It's nice to meet you'? But I'm not happy at all."

"Because you are afraid of losing?" Dunn smiled and leaned in front of Mourinho.

This sentence obviously touched Mourinho's sore spot, he snorted. "Whatever you think, Mr. Dunn. Football matches are not won by lip service."

"Ha, the hero sees the same."

Dunn didn't talk much with Mourinho, because both had things to do. The war of words is over, and it's useless to provoke it now.

He walked to the sidelines to observe the team's warm-up conditions carefully and learn first-hand information. Who is in a good state, whose mentality is not right... This is the last opportunity for adjustment. When the game starts, if you want to adjust, you will have to occupy three substitutions.

The players performed well, and he did not find anyone overly confident and impetuous. These guys are pretty good, and they have not been short of blowing air to them these days, asking them to take this game seriously. Because this is "a battle of revenge", it is sloppy, careless, and unwilling.

Dunn also took a look at the fans in the stands. Inter Milan fans accounted for about four-fifths of them. They looked at the whole piece of blue, and the red gathered in a corner, surrounded by the blue ocean. , It looks lonely.

Around these fans are protected by a layer of police to isolate them from the Italian fans. Under the heavy protection of the police, the fans of Nottingham Forest were not afraid of the unfriendly booing and hostile eyes from the home fans, and sang the battle hymn of Nottingham Forest from their stands.

Dunn smiled when he saw this scene. Lovely fans. He seemed to see John and Bill in the phalanx on the far side.

After staying on the sidelines for a while, Dunn could always hear the boos coming from the stands behind him. This of course is for him, the coach who provoked a spat with Mourinho. He didn't care, he even turned around to cheer at the fans with bad expressions, and then walked back to the hallway and headed to the locker room.

In this game, he is destined to make Inter Milan fans unhappy...

Not long after returning to the locker room, the team's warm-up was over. The players filed into the locker room and began to change the jerseys needed for the game. Dunn paced back and forth in the locker room, considering what to say to further arouse the players' emotions.

The tactics that should be talked about were set up a day ago, and there is not much time at this time, he will not repeat them.

The players changed their clothes, sat down to catch their breath, and waited for their spiritual leader to say something.

Dunn finally stopped and stood still in front of his teammates.

"Who else has experienced those two games among you?" He looked at the players.

George Wood raised his hand, and then goalkeeper Akinfeev, defender Barnes, Rafinha, Pepe, Kompany, Thiago, Lennon, Shaheen, and Eastwood all raised Hands up. They all know which of the "two games" the boss asked

This accounts for almost two-thirds of the big list.

"I know some of you must not be reconciled... Ah no, not everyone is reconciled. After all, the opponent has scored five goals in the two games, but not a single goal. If this is acceptable, it is not normal. People. It’s great now. You have the opportunity to correct that mistake. It’s just an accident to ask Inter Milan to see 0:5.” Dunn snapped his fingers, “I really doubt whether UEFA fully respected the draw. We did this based on our opinion."

There was a burst of laughter among the players.

"Anyway, guys. Now we have a great opportunity! Are you planning to let this opportunity slip away from your eyes? Are you really planning that?"

"No one thinks like that, boss!"

"Very good! Then cheer me up! Go over them at their home court! Settle all the accounts that should be settled today!"

Mourinho did not stir emotions in the locker room. Inter Milan is not the Nottingham Forest, but it is not full of simple-minded, passionate creatures. Moreover, he has nothing to agitate. Inter Milan and Nottingham Forest do not have any deep hatred. For many players, this is just an ordinary Champions Cup quarter-final. Star players such as Ibrahimović have no interest in the "Forest Team Vengeance" hyped by the media. Some people can't even understand why Tony Dunn jumped up like a mad dog and bit people around. Is it good for him to do it? Could it be that the more people he bites, the more dividends he will get?

Although their head coach occasionally bites people, he has a purpose and bites something. What does Tony Dunn catch and bite?

If we let him be our head coach, I'm afraid he will bite himself in the locker room, right? That is terrible! I really don't know how the players of Nottingham Forest can tolerate such a bad temper to lead them.

In fact... even more incredible, why can this man's team win the Champions League for two consecutive years? There must be some secret we don’t know...

Mourinho finished the tactics calmly, and then talked about what happened in the media.

"It's their freedom outside. Don't think about anything. This is just an ordinary game. If you have any emotional ups and downs because of this, you can be fooled by Tony Dunn. In terms of strength, Nottingham Forest is sure Not as good as ours. They are eager to score away goals and will take the initiative to attack from the beginning of the game. We just need to be more patient than them to achieve the results we want. That's it, get ready to play."

When Inter Milan players played, they received huge cheers. In the hearts of Inter Milan fans, the Nerazzurri are their heroes, and many fans are quite confident in defeating Nottingham Forest. The two games of the 08-09 season are still vivid, and few teams in this world football can do it so cleanly to beat the defending champion.

Of course, Nottingham Forest fans would argue that the loss was because Tony Dunn was not there. But the Italian fans can't understand this. They think that even if Tony Dunn is in, the loss is not that bad at best, but the result is still the same-losing. How powerful can a head coach be? It is the star players who dominate the team and determine the strength of the team, not the star coach.

When Ibrahimović shook hands with the Forest team players as usual, he suddenly felt a deep hostility. This hostility reached its peak when he shook hands with the forest team captain.

Wood’s hand was underneath to make necessary understanding with Ibrahimovic, but his eyes were always staring at each other coldly. This is not a very polite attitude, and it also made the Swedes feel uncomfortable. As if with a thorn, Ibrahimović was pierced into a sieve from the inside out.

He didn't like this rude look, so he touched Wood's hand and separated.

But even when he turned and left, he could still feel those cold eyes staring at him behind his back.

Ibrahimović is a typical representative of Inter Milan players. Almost all Inter Milan players have felt the unfriendly breath from the players of Nottingham Forest.

They couldn't understand why these people would look at this game like a vendetta. Even if we beat you by a big score, that's a normal thing. It often happens in the world of football. It's too small to think so much, right? If someone else beats you, you will seek revenge. Are you busy?

The Nottingham Forest players don't care what the Inter Milan people are thinking, they just frowned, looked serious, and looked at the opponents who came over to shake hands with them in a friendly manner.

It’s hard to imagine that this kind of situation will appear in real football. Perhaps only Tony Dunn can bring out such an unreasonable team...

After the handshake ceremony ended in a strange atmosphere, the players of both sides returned to their respective positions and waited for the start of the game.

The major media seized the last time and gathered around the two head coaches to shoot wildly.

Mourinho was expressionless, while Dunn was smiling. He even glanced at Mourinho next door from time to time in front of the reporters, wanting to observe his performance.

It's a pity that he didn't see anything. Mourinho hides himself in the middle of the coaching bench, and you don't know what he is doing until he is in front of him. Dunn was not in a hurry, he knew that after the game started, Mourinho would definitely come out on his own.

why?

Because he can't sit still! (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!)
