Godfather Of Champions

The accidental defeat in Germany hurt Dunn, but it made the media feel as excited as a chicken blood.

Originally, after England and Germany defeated their opponents by absolute advantage, everyone felt that the pattern of this group had been finalized. England and Germany were the two strongest teams. The two teams that qualified before are probably them. , The only suspense is who is the first and who is the second.

As supporters of England and Germany, this is a good thing. But this is the worst situation for the media who are afraid of the world. They lamented in their respective positions that the "death group" was unworthy of its name.

Well now, there is no such thing as a misnomer. The group of death suddenly became worthy of its name and became interesting.

Both teams that had previously lost in the first round have won, while the two teams that had won have all lost. After the two rounds of the group stage, all four teams accumulated three points, which is really rare in international competitions.

The current situation is that the German team is ranked first in the group because of their goal difference. They scored four goals, lost two goals, and have two goal difference. England scored four goals, conceded three goals, and came second with a goal difference. Portugal scored four goals, conceded five goals and lost one goal difference and ranked third. In the end it was Wales, who scored a goal, conceded three goals, and lost two goals.

In the final round, England and Germany will fight each other, while Portugal will fight Wales. Any team may qualify, and any team may be eliminated.

"It is indeed the most deadly "death group" of this competition!" In the European Cup special program of Sky TV, the invited guest sighed. "Such a complicated qualifying situation is the highest of all six teams. We don't need to analyze the situation of their four teams for you at all. You only need to look at the score rankings and you can guess for yourself what will happen next— -It's a mess!"

"Before the second round, the probability of losing the first and second teams at the same time was one in nine. When seeing the English lose to Wales at the Nou Camp, the Germans may have begun to look forward to their early qualifying. The future is here. Who would have thought that after a wonderful battle, the Germans would also lose!" Spanish National Television concluded.

"For the England team, Germany's loss is definitely not good news. Although we have a forty years of grudges with them. Because Tony Dunn's team will fight to the death with the German team in the final round, only to win Only by playing in Germany can you be sure of qualifying. Losing or tying is to leave your fate to others." In the special project of BBC TV, experts are analyzing England's qualifying situation that has become severe overnight. "But England lacks George Wood, and Germany is a very strong opponent..."

"Facts have proved one thing-England without George Wood is second-rate in Europe. They can't even win Wales. Without Wood's scheduling and defense in the midfield, England simply doesn't know how to operate. 4:2 victory over Portugal It was just an accident, and we also have to note that Portugal has the advantage in the entire game." This is a German TV station two program, they are using this program to cheer up worried German fans. "We lost to Portugal only by bad luck. England lost to Wales but completely failed. Although they shot twice as many times as Wales, most of them missed the goal, all blind long shots... from the team In terms of situation, we are better than England."

"Wales defeated England and Portugal defeated Germany. This is the result we neutral fans most want to see. Because the final round of the group stage will be very, very exciting!" China Central Television Channel 5 belongs to the neutral faction, but German fans And English fans accounted for a large proportion of Chinese fans. They "gloated for misfortune" in the program, and the curses against them on the Internet will certainly not be less.

In fact, the evaluation of these media is fair and objective. Dunn is now under tremendous pressure-he won the first game beautifully and raised the expectations of the English people. As a result, he lost the second game embarrassingly and threw the English fans flying in the clouds. In the mud pool, such a huge psychological gap makes many people unacceptable. Those print media and online media directed this anger to Dunn. Someone is always responsible for this, right?

Countless tabloids ignore the objective conditions and subjective factors. Anyway, it is the easiest to blame the head coach for the loss. Who asked Dunn to leave them a handle? After the game, he said "I underestimated the enemy" in an interview. This sentence became the biggest reason for many tabloids to attack him.

"Tony Dunn's arrogance finally made him pay the price, but he also took the fate of the entire England to bury him! This is simply a scandal!"

"...I can't understand this kind of England, and the team that defeated Portugal 4:2 is totally different. What is it for?"

"Simply underestimating the enemy cannot explain the reason for the loss. I think England has major tactics. Facts have proved that only relying on defensive counterattack is not enough! He deliberately wanted to move the Nottingham Forest set to the England team, but found that he was not satisfied. ..."

"I think the loss in this game fully illustrates the importance of George Wood. Dunn insists on taking Wood to Spain for sure, but if we go back home in the group stage, what is the point of taking him there? Now that there is the last game left, what can he do?"

"Tony Dunn is just taking it for himself. If we choose to continue to trust him, the whole of English football will suffer one day!"

...

There are too many such attacks. The reporters covering the England team rarely have conflicts with Tony Dunn. This time they finally seized the opportunity to take revenge.

They attacked Dunn, and the fans felt that it was difficult for England to qualify. So before the game with the German team, the expectations of the fans and the accusations from the media were converging from all directions to the city of Valencia, forming a huge The invisible pressure enveloped the entire England team.

Dunn obviously noticed these pressures, so he once again did something against the media-canceling the regular press conference. Unless it is before the game, the media should not try to dig out anything valuable from him. news. The fifteen-minute public shooting time every day has nothing to do with warm-up or warm-up. He did not ask the security guards of the hotel where he was staying to clean up the reporters who wandered nearby, and reporters who did not get permission were not allowed to enter the hotel lobby.

Such an open confrontation with the media obviously makes the media even more dissatisfied, and I don't know how much more they scold him.

This kind of tension is also felt in the England team. After the game with Portugal, there was no lack of laughter and laughter in the training, and many games were arranged during the training to relax everyone. But after the game against Wales, all these games were cancelled. Everyone can clearly feel the amount of training, although the boss still has a smile on his face, but everyone knows that it is just made to show them. In terms of pressure, no one here is bigger than the boss.

There are only three days from the second round to the final round of the group stage, which adds to the tension. What can be changed in three days?

※※※

After losing to Wales, England's good luck seemed to run out overnight.

On the second day they arrived in Valencia, they started training for less than ten minutes, and they were still in the free shooting period of the media. David Bentley was suddenly injured in the warm-up.

The scene was chaotic, and the reporters desperately tried to squeeze in to take pictures of Bentley's injuries. The security at the scene was busy intercepting the reporters under Dunn's loud scolding. While guarding the reporters, Dunn also went to see what injury Bentley was. The scene was very noisy and his head was almost dizzy.

"What's the matter?" Dunn finally squeezed into the crowd and saw the team doctor of the national team, Derek Wright (Derek_Wright), doing a preliminary check on Bentley.

"Thigh muscle strain," White replied. "It's a relapse of the old injury."

Dunn frowned, this is not a good injury in one or two days.

Bentley, who was sitting on the ground, also looked very depressed. He has not started this European Cup. He wanted to fight for the opportunity in the next game. Now he has strained his thigh muscles. He is almost certainly unable to make it in the last game of the group stage. And after the game against Germany, will England still have a game?

Dunn pointed to two players casually: "You take David down."

White followed Bentley to the sidelines, let him sit on the ground, and massaged his thighs.

The reporters outside the venue are still arguing and want to come in for interviews and shooting. They even clashed with security. Even swear words came out.

Dunn felt upset when he heard such a voice. He turned and walked in front of the group of reporters, pointing his wrist watch: "The time is up, the free shooting time is over! Please go back, ladies and gentlemen!" Then he said to the security guards: They all get out!"

"Mr. Dunn! Is Bentley injured?"

"Mr. Dunn, is Bentley's injury serious?"

"Mr. Tony Dunn... may he miss the game against the German team?"

"Bentley is injured. Will this affect team morale?"

The reporters who were unwilling to be kicked out like this one after another threw their problems to Dunn. Dunn ignored them. He turned around and walked back to the training ground, shouting to the dumbfounded and a little overwhelmed players: " Keep training!"

The reporters finally dispersed, and calm was restored in the training ground. Bentley's injury did not affect the quality of the team's training, the amount is not small, and the players' attention is also focused on training. After all, injury is a very common thing, not to mention Bentley is not the main player, even if he is injured can not keep up with the German team, the team's strength will not have much impact.

It's just that Dunn's brows frowned and tightened.

George Wood walked to the sidelines to rest after finishing his own training program. He sat next to Bentley.

"Hey, George..." Bentley was a little frustrated, with an ice pack on his lap, filled with ice cubes. "I'm so **** unlucky..."

Wood glanced at his thigh. "It's just a muscle strain and it will get better soon." He comforted his teammates in Nottingham Forest.

"No matter how fast, I won't be able to play against the German team..." Bentley rubbed his strained right thigh. If it’s a strained left thigh, he can clenched his teeth. He couldn't do anything with a strained right thigh. "At that time, let's cheer them on the bench together."

Unexpectedly, Wood shook his head: "No, I want to play."

Bentley thought he had heard it wrong, he turned his head to look at Wood, his eyes widened. "If I remember correctly, the doctors said you will miss all three group matches..."

"I feel fine."

Bentley stared at Wood's right big toe and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Wood shook his head: "No, not at all."

Bentley looked at Tony Dunn standing in the distance: "I don't think the boss will let you play."

"If you can't win Germany, you will."

"Are you kidding about your career, George?"

"I mean it." Wood finished his rest and walked back to the court to continue his solo training.

Bentley looked at his back and curled his lips.

"You haven't practiced with us, how could you be allowed to play? Don't be foolish, George..." he murmured.

"I just lost to Wales, and David Bentley was injured again. The England team has been unfavorable for a long time, which is really worrying..." BBC 5’s European Cup report is broadcasting the news they just received. It was the chaotic scene on the training ground on TV. If you listen carefully, you can still hear Tony Dunn's voice—"What the **** is going on... Hell, kick them out! Stop shooting!"

"Although Tony Dunn canceled the regular press conference, Draco White accepted our interview. He told us that Bentley suffered a muscle strain in his right thigh and that he would miss the game with the German team... I know, this is not the first time that Bentley has strained his right thigh muscle. With George Wood out of the game due to injury, Bentley also entered the list of injuries. It seems that luck is not on our side..."

It may not be more appropriate to describe the mood of the English fans with bleakness. Could this "the strongest England team in history" even fail to qualify for the group stage?

※※※

"It's not that it hurts the main force. Look at the arguments of the media...so I hate the media. They always serve ice cubes when you need charcoal fire to keep warm, and they deliver dry bread when you need to quench your thirst. ——In short, it will only add chaos." Dunn was dissatisfied with the media's hype that Bentley was injured and created tension. These English tabloids are too annoying!

"No way, Tony. After we lost to Wales, pessimism prevailed... The slightest accident would be infinitely magnified." Walker put down the English newspapers, and they were almost all in a bad mood. Report.

The two were chatting, and there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The man who opened the door was George Wood. This surprised both Dunn and Walker.

Wood also didn't expect that there were other people in Dunn's room. He glanced at assistant coach Des Walker and stood at the door without speaking.

Walker knew that Wood must have something to tell Dunn, but he didn't want outsiders to be there. It must be a conversation between the two of them only.

"So... I'll leave first." Walker stood up wittily and planned to leave.

"Goodbye, Des. Call me at dinner time." Dunn waved his hand.

"Goodbye, Mr. Walker." Wood watched Walker leave at the door.

"Goodbye, George."

After Walker left, Dunn said, "Close the door, George. Is there anything you want to do with me?"

Wood closed the door obediently, but he still stood at the door and said to Dunn: "Tomorrow's game against the German team...I hope you can let me play." (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please log in www.qidian.com, more chapters, support authors, support genuine reading!)
