Godfather Of Champions

After Des Walker left, Wood closed the door and the first words he said to Dunn were: "Tomorrow's game against the German team, I hope you can let me play."

Hearing him say this, Dunn was not surprised at all, as if he had expected such an occurrence a long time ago.

"It's impossible, George." Dunn replied blankly. "Your injury is not healed yet."

"No, my injury is completely healed." In order to prove that what he said was true, Wood also did a set of high leg runs in front of Dunn.

"What you said doesn't count, George."

"My body, why didn't I say it myself?" Wood asked back.

"I only believe in doctors." Tang En walked on the chair with Erlang's legs upright, his tone indifferent.

Wood was not as calm as Dunn. He stepped forward and walked to Dunn: "You told me to wait for three games, but if we can't even qualify for the group stage, what's the point of waiting for three games? I can't wait. I don’t want to wait anymore."

Dunn motioned Wood to sit down and talk. He was not used to raising his head and talking to others.

"You just don't believe your teammates so much?" Dunn looked at Wood who was a little impatient.

These words spoke to Wood's army. He certainly can't say "Yes, I don't believe them", he can only shake his head and say: "No, I believe them". In this way, he has no position to ask to play again.

Wood fell into silence, he understood Dunn's meaning, so he was unwilling to give an answer.

Dunn decided to strike while the iron was hot and persuaded Wood to withdraw his intention to play in the game against the German team.

"George, your foot injury has not fully recovered. I am very aware of this. The people in the medical team and I follow your injury every day. So I will never let you play in the game against the German team. . It must be a very fierce game. If you get injured again, I can't guarantee what will happen after that. For your career considerations, I won't let you play."

"Even if the group can't qualify?" Wood asked.

Dunn said calmly: "Yes, even if the group fails to qualify, I won't let you go up and take a risk."

Wood's face was overcast with clouds and his expression was like summer weather. After changing back and forth several times, he finally got up and left.

Dunn sat alone in his room in a daze.

He now feels that he really knows how to pretend to be a saint... The last sentence is definitely not his true heart, or that he was not firm in his heart when he said it. Which is more important, performance or player's future? Such multiple-choice questions have never appeared in Dun En's mind. In his heyday, he would say: I want both.

Maybe the situation wasn't so bad... Dunn thought to himself.

Even without George Wood, England is not without the ability to fight the German team.

Walker pushed in and saw Dunn sitting on the sofa in a trance.

"Tony?"

"Is it time for dinner so soon?" Dunn asked after returning to his senses.

"No. I'm just here to see you, by the way, to ask how things are going on with George." Walker sat down beside Dunn.

"He wanted to play against the German team, but I refused." Dunn said lightly.

"You didn't engage in ideological struggle or something?" Walker asked with a smile.

"No." Dunn lied.

Walker hesitated and asked: "Tony, do you think we will win the game with the German team?"

Dunn glanced at his assistant: "This is not something that is somewhat certain, Des. This is something we must win or we will die."

Three days is too short, and even the half-day journey from Barcelona to Valencia is included. In fact, there are only two days left for Dunn to prepare for the German team.

When most people hadn't reacted, the Great Britain-Germany battle was imminent.

George Wood and Bentley missed the game due to injury, and the prospect of losing to Wales to qualify... these are actually just additions to this game. Even if both teams have won both games and qualify early, this game is destined to attract the attention of the world. Tony Dunn may not care about the outcome of this game, but England fans can't care less.

The feud between England and Germany football is one of the most famous feuds in the world. The history of the confrontation between the two teams lasted more than one hundred years. In the first fifty years, England had an overwhelming advantage, and in the next fifty years, the German team became the eternal nightmare of English fans.

The first confrontation between the two teams was on April 20, 1908, when the arrogant "originator of football" taught the German football rookie team with a score of 5:1. Although he won the game, the Englishman got cheap and sold well, pretending to show that the German team scored a goal, "How can I feel". A year later, the two sides fought again, and the England team slaughtered Germany with a score of 9:0, setting a record for the largest difference in the history of the British-German confrontation.

At that time, the German team was not the "king of Europe" who won three European Cups and three World Cups. In the first twelve games of the two teams, England had an unbeaten record of ten wins and two draws. It can be said that this is the chaotic period of German football, and it is no surprise to lose to a "world strong team" like England.

But what really turned the confrontation between the two sides into a "war" was the 1966 World Cup final in England. At Wembley Stadium, the English defeated Germany 4:2 with a controversial goal, winning the World Cup for the first and only time in history. Geoff_Hurst (Geoff_Hurst), who scored the controversial goal in the final and completed a hat-trick, became the "National Hero" of Britain, while the legend of the German team, striker Uwe_Seeler (Uwe_Seeler), left the field. At that time, he was almost collapsed and walked down the court with his head drooping. As a result, this scene was filmed by the photographer. Did the English media come out and say, satirizing "The Germans have lost the battle again."

This game caused the Germans to be very injured. Until today, more than fifty years later, the Germans would complain that if it were not for the referee's misjudgment, the gold stars on the German team badge would have been four.

Until this year, the English had a huge psychological advantage when facing the German team, and the Germans had never beaten the England team in official matches.

But two years later, the situation has changed 180 degrees. In Hannover, Germany, "Caesar" Beckenbauer's low shot broke the German team's unbeatable fate. It was as if it had punctured that layer of window paper. Since then, for more than forty years, England has never won Germany in a major competition... No matter whether the process is tragic or tragic, the loser must be in the end. It's England.

In the quarter-finals of the 1970 World Cup, England led 2-0. The German team pulled three goals in a row under the leadership of Beckenbauer and eventually eliminated England.

In 1972, England's football mecca Wembley Stadium also fell under the German cannon. Beckenbauer led his teammates to a 3-1 victory over England and won a victory in the European Cup qualifiers. Later, the British gave the title of "Football King" to the German.

In the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup, the German team eliminated England in a penalty shootout. Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pierce missed a crucial goal. Now England's assistant coach Des Walker also played in that game.

The European Championships held in front of England in 1996 made the English believe that they could rely on the benefits of the host to win the Delaunay Cup, which they had never known before, but it was a pity that they met Germany once. The Germans stubbornly dragged the proud host into a penalty shoot-out. The English had a complete mental breakdown and was eventually eliminated.

...

The situation of consecutive losses to the German team is unacceptable to the proud British, so even if it is a friendly match, the encounter between England and Germany will surely wipe out a dazzling spark.

John Terry, England's main central defender and former captain once said that there has never been a "friendship" between Britain and Germany.

In England, the classic quotes about football are mostly related to Germany. For example, at the 1966 World Cup, the commentary of the famous British commentator Kennett Walstenholm became a classic describing the style of German football: "They thought everything was over, but the Germans stood up again! "

After England was eliminated by Germany from a penalty kick in the 1990 World Cup, Lineker also reluctantly said: "Football is a 22-person game, but in the end it is always a sport that the Germans win."

Even if England wins, it may not be a wonderful memory. For example, in 1938, England beat Germany 6-3 in a friendly match held in Berlin, but before the match, the English players were forced to pay a "** ceremony", which made the entire British nationals believe that they were greatly insulted and were The victory of this game is called "victory of shame".

After entering the new century, Britain and Germany played against each other with victories, and there was even a classic example of a 5:1 victory over the German team. But on the whole, the English always lack self-confidence when facing the Germans. In the last game before the Wembley Stadium was demolished, Germany's Harman made a heavy shot that put the England team in shame in this memorable game.

If Dunn were to talk about the difference between the two teams, he would say that England is like a beautiful porcelain vase, dazzling and dazzling under the light, and he can't put it down. The German team is a dark and plain rock. Whether you use a porcelain bottle to smash a rock, or use a rock to touch a porcelain bottle, it is the porcelain bottle that is unlucky in the end.

But now Dunn must complete this impossible task-take the porcelain bottle to fight the rock in a life and death battle. In the end, it must be the porcelain bottle that is safe and sound.

"You can lose to anyone, but you can't lose to the Germans!" There was such a sentence on the banner carried by the England fans who entered the stadium, which is also the voice of all England. This game has attracted the attention of the island nation. Even the Queen of England is asking: "Can we defeat Germany?"

This sentence has also become the headline of many media. The Times replied below: "Yes, we can!"

The Sun newspaper is more sensational. They told readers that more than sixty years ago, the current queen was a child and has led the British people to a great victory against Germany. And now, it's time for the whole people to resist the Japanese War. "We must be able to win this war!"

Unlike England’s rivals, Germany’s reaction was slightly flatter. It was the same. The English people have always been more obsessed with the feud between Britain and Germany, while the Germans will use more subtle means to express their emotions. For example, before the game, a German TV station reopened Hirst's controversial goal that year. After high-tech restoration and analysis, it finally proved that the goal did not cross the line as a whole, so it could not be counted. Among the highlights of the World Cup history broadcast by German TV, there are Brazilians who have won the Remit Gold Cup for the third time, and there are also scenes of Beckenbauer sticking to the fight with bandages on his shoulders, but Hirst’s controversy is missing. In addition, they also ranked Maradona second in the goals scored by five of England. Which is the first? Of course it was Maradona's God's hand in the same game! That scene was repeatedly shown five times, so that some viewers thought there was something wrong with their TV...

Four hours before the game, fans from both sides had already gathered outside Valencia’s Nova Mestalla stadium, waiting to enter. Fans on both sides have a bad reputation in police around the world, so this game almost emptied the entire police force in Valencia. At the same time, in response to this special group match, the Valencia City Government also issued a temporary "prohibition order"-within a 15-kilometer radius near the Nova Mestalla Stadium, from four hours before the match to During the four hours after the game, the sale of all alcoholic beverages is prohibited.

English fans and German fans will travel to the Nova Mestalla stadium from different roads, and then enter the stadium from completely opposite entrances. In the stands, the stand area between the two teams of fans will be vacated and will be stationed by heavily armed riot police. All this is to prevent the two teams of fans from meeting and causing conflict before entering the stadium.

"This is the level of security for the World Cup finals." The British media who saw this scene exclaimed.

Despite this, the fans on both sides sparked sparks wherever they could see each other.

The German made a gesture of "Germany beat England 3-0" to the British BBC camera, and the English responded with a 5:1 gesture. In September 2001, England defeated Germany 5:1 in the Japan-Korea World Cup qualifiers, and was still at the home court of the German team. Michael Owen, who completed a hat trick in that game, became the European football of the year. Mr.

The German fans raised their middle fingers to the English fans in the distance and shouted in unison: "You do not have George Wood, you are second-rate in Europe!! Even Wales can kill you!"

English fans sang a cheering song ridiculing the Germans: "Mr. Summer, who are you kidding? Matthias (Matthias Summer, the head coach of the German team) only owns a piggy "...We will kick you back to Berlin, Tony Dunn and his children will say: "Thank you, Germany!" The future Sir St. George, the European Cup is in your hands..."

Look at the tit-for-tat between them, as if there were no strong teams from Spain, Italy, France, etc. in this European Cup, but only a heads-up duel between England and Germany.

When the buses of both sides appeared in the eyes of the fans, the atmosphere of silence for a while became frenzied again. Fans in England and Germany are chanting the names of their teams and stars to cheer them up. Even the high temperature of 36 degrees can't make them quiet for a while.

"England! England! God bless the queen, and the queen bless England!" England fans raised the red cross "St. George" flag on the white background and waved to the red bus.

"Go forward, St. George! Go forward, England!!"

"Fight to the end, never surrender, we are the invincible English fleet!"

"Fuck the Germans! Fuck their ass!"

"Oh oh oh!! England will win!"

The crazy roar of the fans penetrated the closed car windows, and even the dirty words could be heard clearly.

The English players are not surprised by this. In fact, they themselves are almost crazy just like the fans outside... You know this is a game between England and Germany, this is a decisive battle that does not require mobilization. Every English player should understand the meaning of this game and this opponent.

Dunn whistles to the **** female fans who blow kisses at him: "Our pressure is unprecedented now. But it doesn't matter, this is the game I dream of. A century of grievances, grievances and hatreds, you die and live qualifying situation, Stepping on the **** road of the enemy's corpse...makes my blood boil! I believe the Germans must think so too, ha!"

He clenched his fist and felt his body trembling slightly. It is not fear, it is excitement. (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!)
