Godfather Of Champions

After playing against Chelsea, there is still a league, Nottingham Forest will fly to Barcelona, ​​Spain, to prepare for the Champions League quarter-finals.

Their opponent is not strong, but Blackburn. Tony Dunn was rotated again, and only half of the players who were about to play against Barcelona appeared in this game. In the end, Nottingham Forest easily defeated Blackburn 3:1, who was not at the same level with himself.

The game at Nottingham Forest was played on Saturday afternoon, which is considered to be the earlier kick-off time in this round of the Premier League. After playing this game, Dunn handed over the team to Chris Lak, and took Tang directly to London. They must catch an evening flight to Madrid, Spain.

They are not traveling to Spain, nor are they eloped. They were just to watch the Spanish national derby on the second night at the Bernabeu and collect first-hand information at the closest distance.

The team will fly to Barcelona only this afternoon. At that time, Tang En and Tang had been waiting for a long time in the hotel they had booked.

※※※

There are still six hours before the evening game, and they have come here early. It doesn't make sense to stay in the hotel anyway, it's better to come out and walk around, relax your tight nerves while admiring the exotic.

Spain is not Britain, and the sunny streets are full of tourists. Dunn saw a lot of fans from all over the world, he even saw Eastern faces, and he didn't know whether it was Chinese or Japanese. Some of them look like ordinary tourists, wearing sun hats, sunglasses, and cameras on their chests. But some people wore Barcelona and Real Madrid jerseys to swagger.

Fortunately, this is not Glasgow, so don't worry about being stabbed to death by opposing extreme fans...

There are also media from all over the world doing random interviews on the streets, interviewing those fans.

This scene is never seen in Nottingham. No matter how good Nottingham Forest's performance is, the gap between big cities and small cities cannot be eliminated so easily. This is why most people still do not think that Nottingham Forest is a "rich family"-none of the so-called "rich family" is in a small city.

Inter Milan and AC Milan are in Milan, the second largest city in Italy, Juventus is in Turin, the automobile city of Italy, not to mention Barcelona and Real Madrid, Manchester United is in the heavy industry city of Manchester, Liverpool is a famous port and tourist city. The scale is not small. There is also Munich, the seat of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim played well in the Bundesliga, but no one would think of them as a "rich", even they would not think so.

Without a big city, there will be no big market, and there will be a lack of more attention. This is interrelated. The nottingham forest character ah Evan Daugherty has completed the revival, but there is still a long, long way to go to create higher glory.

"This is the first time I went to see the national derby..." Dunn and Tang stood outside the Bernabéu Stadium, looking up at this huge white building.

"When I was a fan, I used to look forward to watching the famous derby matches in the European stadiums in the past, such as the Milan Derby, Manchester Derby, Liverpool Derby, North London Derby, Spanish Derby... Unfortunately there is no condition." When he was alone with Tang, he did not shy away from talking about his former identity. "There are conditions now, but it took so many years to fulfill my wish..."

"I thought you really wanted to detect the enemy."

"Ha, of course I'm here to spy on the enemy, but some selfishness is normal..."

"If you were a fan, who would you cheer for?" Tang also asked a question unrelated to work.

Dunn touched his nose and considered for a while: "Barcelona...I think, maybe it is."

"Why hesitate?"

"Because I am not sure what my mentality was at the time. It has been so many years, I have been coaching, what it should be like to be a pure fan, I have long forgotten... Why should I support Barcelona? They played well. But the only thing I think about when watching the game now is whether I can win, even if not as a coach." He also viewed a game like this when he was a guest commentator on the BBC .

Tang smiled. "Occupational disease, right?"

"maybe."

"In fact, your current football is also very good-looking, the pace is very fast, the scene is very intense."

"Some people think I'm whitewashing, ha!" Dunn felt funny when he said it.

Tang also laughed, because he knew who Dunn was. It is not his style to do such things in order to win the support of public opinion.

For the Barcelona game, if nothing unexpected happens, Dunn will stick to the defensive counterattack tactics. Strive for a draw and an away goal in the away game, and then return to the home court to seek a fatal chance.

Against the most offensive team in the world, that head coach must be crazy.

Standing in front of the main scene of Spain's most prestigious giant club, Dunn looked up at the uppermost name as a fan. Everyone loves beauty and is willing to pursue good things, and football is no exception. A beautiful football always wins applause and cheers from the heart. If Dunn was a fan, he would pay high respect to the teams that played well but lost and maintain the necessary respect. Even if he is not a supporter of that team.

But he is now a coach, a head coach who can only rely on the pursuit of victory to prove his worth and maintain his position.

A voice suddenly came from behind, Dunn and the others didn't understand it at all, so they ignored it either. It wasn't until that voice sounded once that they realized that they were calling themselves.

At the same time, the master of the voice walked around them. She is a professionally dressed beauty with a microphone in her hand and a videographer carrying a camera by her side.

It turned out to be an interview. Dun En and Tang looked at each other, and both saw surprise from each other's eyes-they came to Spain without notifying any media. Why were they found by the Spanish media here? But the next second they found out that they had made a mistake.

"Tony Dunn!" The female reporter exclaimed first.

Dunn and Tang looked at each other again-it turned out that the blind cat ran into the dead mouse...

They originally thought that in Spain, where they were unfamiliar with their lives, even if they were kidnapped, they would not be able to find someone to blackmail them. But I didn’t expect that dedicated reporters came out so early to interview and do the show, and they encountered them among so many people...

Dunn's first reaction was to cough and lower his head: "You have admitted the wrong person, miss."

"How come?" The female reporter looked very excited, and she asked with laughter. "In the past month, Catalan media have posted various photos of you everywhere, and I have collected a lot of them myself. How could I admit that I was wrong?"

She is so happy not because she is a loyal fan of Tony Dunn and longs for a one-night stand with Dunn. But because she was lucky enough to get the best news that no one else could get.

"It looks like you are also a member of the Catalan media. Do you really want to slap me now?" Dunn finally admitted his identity awkwardly, knowing that he could not escape today. In that case, it's better to admit it.

"Although I am not a lady, I will not hit people casually, Mr. Tang En."

"Oh, is it? I look at the words of your Catalan media, and I can’t wait to dismiss me. I will give you an exclusive message. In fact, I’m already considering whether to hire a professional security guard to protect me Camp is commanding the game. Should I be fainted by a weapon of mass destruction like Pig's head, should the game be suspended for a rematch? Will the Camp Nou’s home game be cancelled?"

The Catalan beauty reporter was dumbfounded by Dunn's remarks. She began to think that perhaps interviewing Tony Dunn was not an errand that others would envy...

"Can we not talk about those things? Mr. Dunn. I am curious why you appeared here. Yesterday you were also directing the game on the coaching bench of the Premier League..."

"Am I here to buy toilet paper?" Dunn asked rhetorically.

"This is the latest news sent by our reporter from the periphery of the Bernabéu Stadium. Let's see who Miss Savile met!" The pre-match special program of Catalan Television (TVC) was inserted with a "Latest News" ". The picture changed from the studio to the outdoors.

In the square of the Bernabéu Stadium, Tony Dunn is facing the TV camera, and the person opposite him is the beautiful reporter.

"What am I here for? Am I here to buy toilet paper? Of course I am to watch the game."

"Observe the opponent in the next game?"

"Yes."

"It can be seen that you attach great importance to the next game. So what do you hope for the outcome of this century war tonight?"

Dunn gave an answer that surprised the reporter himself: "Barcelona wins."

The picture was cut back, and the host smiled: "Really an unexpected answer. After Tony Dunn has been fighting with us for a month, is this a good show?"

This episode ended in the host’s laughter.

While queuing to check in for tickets, Tang still couldn't figure out why Dunn would answer like that.

"I originally thought that even if you didn't say'hope Barcelona will hurt a few more people', you would say'hope Barcelona lose'. Why are you uncharacteristically..."

Dunn smiled: "We have to counterattack defensively, so naturally we have to lower our stance. Then Barcelona will be willing to press it out obediently. Although no matter what tactics we play, Barcelona will insist on attacking, but they definitely want us to attack them. We are not as they wanted. A lower posture and anti-revolutionary defense is best for us."

After saying this, he smacked his mouth again: "If someone like me goes to coach in Barcelona, ​​it is estimated that they will be fired after the first game? Ha!"

When Don thought about what treatment Tony Dunn would receive if he stood by the head coach of the Camp Nou, he also laughed: "You might be the first Barcelona ever to be treated in every game. The head coach of his team's fans."

"That's too bad, I hate the practice of booing my own team. But I will be looking forward to hearing the boo in the sky on Wednesday." Dunn opened his arms as if to embrace the boo, "They booed more fiercely. The more they are afraid!"

The collision between Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals is not enough. This makes Dunn very disappointed-the century battle he most hopes to see should be like this: the referee flips the cards like a croupier in a Las Vegas casino, and the players of the two teams are like two. The twelve-loved Bulls clashed endlessly on the court, and then certain core players were in fierce collisions—maybe not necessarily fierce, the process is not important, the important thing is the result—injury and leave. Second The latest news from the hospital is that these people will all be injured for a month and just missed two games with the Forest team.

It is a pity that Guardiola is not a fool. The Battle of the Century is certainly the most unbeatable game in a season, but he is not willing to give up the Champions League. Fortunately, his opponent Real Madrid also broke into the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and they did not want to lose too much energy in the war of the century.

The two sides played the slow-paced "War of the Century" on the court very tacitly, which made Dunn very dissatisfied. He booed like an ordinary fan in the stands: "This kind of game should really be refunded for the TV broadcast fee! It's a deception of the audience's feelings! It's too fake!!!"

There are quite a few viewers at the Bernabeu who have the same views as him. It can be seen that the differences between the fans and the coaches are huge-fans who pay for tickets to watch the game may care about this game in a season. As the head coach of a team, you can't do this, otherwise he Will definitely be fired.

Ribery failed to play in this game due to injury. Therefore, Dunn did not see the duel between his two former disciples. Pikwe's performance is quite satisfactory and there are no bright spots. Maybe he will stay for the game against Nottingham Forest?

When Real Madrid temporarily led Barcelona by 2:1 with 20 minutes left in the game, the Barcelona players were not in a hurry to equalize. Messi is trying very hard to find a chance to score, but in the background of the slow pace of the entire team, he can hardly sing. Guardiola didn't whistle from the sidelines until ten minutes were left to signal the team to speed up the attack and try to tie the score.

It's too late.

How easy is it for Barcelona, ​​who is 80 minutes slow, to get up quickly? The only Messi who can keep up with this rhythm was replaced by Guardiola five minutes ago-he wants to protect Messi and let him save his energy.

In this way, Barcelona lost 1:2 to Real Madrid in this game. The two sides won each of the two "Wars of the Century" this season and drew a tie.

Dunn and Don were very disappointed when they left the Bernabéu because he did not see some key players in the Barcelona team injured. He complained that Guardiola treated Messi like a vacuum pack, for fear that he would receive the slightest injury.

From this point of view, although the two have not officially met, Guardiola has won.

For the Catalan marshal, losing to Real Madrid in the league and splitting the other side is not too important, and the end of the game has no value in continuing discussions. No one on the team injured in this game is the biggest victory.

At the press conference after the game, Guardiola seemed a little absent-minded, maybe he was already imagining the expression of Tony Dunn when he saw this scene.

We will use the strongest lineup to deal with you, I hope you will not be too surprised, Mr. Dunn. (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!)
