Godfather Of Champions

"The game is over! The game is over!" John Mortensen roared happily. In international competitions before 2000, England did not beat Germany. In the group stage of the 2000 European Championship, England defeated Germany with Schiller’s goal, but both teams were eliminated. Victory was gradually forgotten. Since then, England has never met the German team in international competitions. In the eyes of the Germans, England is still the second-rate team that can only perform in important competitions, and Germany has won three World Cup titles and three European Cup titles. The teams cannot be compared.

Such a view is unacceptable to the proud English people. In any case, they are also the originators of modern football. They had never lost to Germany before 1968. Now he is ridiculed by opponents who were not worth mentioning. It is the greatest wish of all Englishmen to defeat Germany in an important game of an international competition, and it is best to knock Germany out.

Today, their dream has become a reality.

Just one minute before the end of the game between Germany and England, the exciting news came from another stadium-Portugal and Wales tied 0-0 after a dull match.

what does this mean?

Take a look at the Germans who look like bereaved concubines, and then look at the vacant eyes of Somer.

The German team was eliminated!

The ranking of points derived from the latest game results: England, with two wins and one loss in three games, leads the group with six points, Portugal and Wales have four points with three wins, one draw and one loss, but Portugal has the advantage of goal difference. In second place, Wales is in third place. England and Portugal will advance directly to the top sixteen, while Wales will have to wait for the final points rankings of other groups to see if they can be ranked third in the four best-performing groups, so as to get the right to qualify. As for the German team... They have one win and two losses, only three points, ranked fourth in the group, and they are determined to be out.

"The Germans are home! They don't have to go too far, because many German players have to spend their vacation in sunny Spain..." Mortensen waved to the court below, "Goodbye German! Goodbye! Aha!"

The football grievances between England and Germany are vividly manifested at this moment.

While the Englishmen in the stands cheered for their team's victory, they did not forget to laugh at the Germans. They sang: "What's wrong with your face? Matthias? Why does it look so sad?"

Then he sang: "Time_to_say_goodbye. It's time to say goodbye. Those that you haven't had time to experience, you will never see again now... It's time to say goodbye..."

At this time, the security and policemen of the New Mestalla Stadium suddenly looked like enemies, and they looked fiercely between the fans of both sides. They asked the English fans to stay in the stands temporarily and let the Germans go first to avoid both sides. The fans clashed after walking out of the stadium. England fans don't mind, they still want to enjoy the joy of victory here for a while.

There are fewer and fewer German fans in the stands. Only a few Germans who are too emotional are still under the control of the police, and all English fans are left behind. They sang and danced in the stands.

On the court below the stands, England players have just lined up to thank the fans and are now enjoying the victory.

Dunn rushed into the court first when the final whistle sounded. Instead of hugging the nearest player, he went straight to George Wood. The people who ran toward Wood like him included team medical team leader Derek White. , The two of them are obviously one mind.

"How about the right foot, George?" the two people ran up almost at the same time and asked in unison.

This scene is really funny, but none of the three laughed. Wood shook his head: "Nothing."

"Don't lie, I saw the expression you just made!" Dunn frowned and said seriously.

While Dunn was still talking, White had already squatted down and wanted to check on Wood. At this time, Dunn caught a glimpse of some media that had already paid attention, and he quickly said to White: "Don't worry, Mr. White. Don't let those reporters find good news."

White knew what Dunn meant, he stood up quickly, said hello to the two of them and said goodbye.

He passed by the media. A reporter recognized him and wanted to ask him about George Wood, but he just waved his hand, walked quickly, and disappeared into the crowd.

Dunn just grabbed Wood's shoulders, and the quick-eyed photographers quickly pressed the shutter to freeze the scene.

This is really a precious photo: After a fierce battle, the two heroes of the team hugged together to celebrate the victory.

"Congratulations on the victory, can you say something to us? Mr. Dunn!" The reporters handed the microphone to Dunn's mouth one after another.

"I'm very happy to qualify for the group and defeat Germany." Dunn has nothing to say.

The reporters saw that Dunn was so uncooperative, they could only turn the microphone to Wood: "Congratulations on a wonderful game, George! May I ask your right foot..."

"No questions." Wood replied categorically.

"Will you start the next game?"

Wood just opened his mouth to answer this question, and was interrupted by Dunn's voice: "Sorry, my player has just gone through a fierce game, and now he needs a rest. Don't you block our way?"

This group of reporters rolled their eyes, and George Wood went up and ran for less than 15 minutes. What should I rest for? I found this excuse...

Don't care what they thought, he squeezed out with his arms around Wood, and reporters continued to join the ranks of chasing them along the way, and he ignored them all.

Until entering the tunnel. Wood asked: "Why didn't you let me answer the question just now?"

"I'm afraid you said the wrong thing."

"I can play next game."

"It depends on the results of the team doctor's examination." Dunn turned his head and looked at Wood. "This situation is too risky today. I don't want to do it again. For the sake of my heart, please bear with me a little, George." He smiled. Say.

Moving out of the heart to talk about things, Wood couldn't help but he went silent.

Seeing that he was in a low mood, Dunn quickly patted his head to comfort him: "Aren't you confident in your body? The team needs you, George, I won't let you sit on the bench all the time. "

Wood stopped to look at him, as if he wanted to see from his expression whether this was the truth or it was perfunctory.

Dunn didn't avoid his eyes either.

Wood did not see the perfunctory meaning, he believed Dunn.

"Let's go, George." Dunn patted him on the back, "Go back and take a good rest. There are more intense matches waiting for you."

After sending Wood back to the locker room, Dunn finally accepted an interview with reporters. He admitted that the game was very difficult and also praised the performance of the German team.

When a reporter asked whether he knew that Wood was still injured when George Wood was sent at the last moment, Dunn was taken aback. Finally he nodded: "His injury has not fully recovered, but I think there is no problem playing for ten minutes."

"Are you worried that he will be aggravated by this?" the reporter asked.

Dunn had to reconsider the questioner. One is still in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a white shirt and tie, and his hair combed back meticulously. She also wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looks old-fashioned, but this person seems to be only thirty years old. From the Sun? I have never seen this person. News of the World? Not like...

Dunn frowned: "I'm not worried. We know all about his recovery."

He lied because he didn't want to pester a group of reporters here.

The reporter's question made Dunn no more interested in accepting an interview. He walked quickly to the dressing room, ready to see the results of Dr. White's examination of Wood.

"Mr. Tang En, I still have questions!"

"Mr. Dunn, may I ask if George Wood can start in the eighth-finals? Or just play..."

Seeing him about to leave, a group of people quickly yelled out of order.

Dunn turned a deaf ear, turned a blind eye, and squeezed out the reporters.

Pushing open the locker room door, some players have returned, and those who have not returned must be interviewed in the mixed zone. Seeing the boss appearing at the door of the locker room, everyone turned their eyes to greet Dunn. Dunn nodded in return and walked straight to the corner. White was examining Wood's right big toe.

"How about, Mr. White?" Dunn asked.

Derek White looked up at Dunn, then stood up and gestured out.

Wood watched the two gradually walk out the door, and then closed the door.

"George, is your injury okay?" As soon as the boss left, a player suddenly came up and asked caringly.

Wood shook his head: "I think it's okay. But..." He looked at the door, everyone knew what that meant.

It is not himself who decides if there is anything wrong with Wood's right big toe, but the two people who walked out side by side just now.

※※※

Outside the locker room, the two people avoided the crowd, found a corner that no one noticed, and began this conversation that might be related to the future trend of England.

"From medical considerations alone, I suggest that the day after tomorrow's training is to let him do strength and endurance training, not to touch the ball. What will happen after this, and continue to observe. I just checked and his injury is not too big a problem. , But I can’t tell you what will happen to you here, it will definitely not happen.” As the team medical team leader, Derek White has always been very cautious, not cautious. This is directly related to a player’s future career. , In case he made a mistake of judgment and said the wrong thing, it is likely to ruin the future of a promising professional player.

Such things in English football are not without precedent, because in the past, most of the team doctors of English clubs were not really qualified doctors. They even knew nothing about sports medicine. They thought that taking a "magic sponge" could cure a hundred. sick.

Such a tragedy happened to the Redknapp family, a famous football family in England. The older brother of former Liverpool captain Jamie Redknapp, Mark Redknapp, was also a promising professional football player. As the star of hope of Burnmouth Football Club, he was very popular in a game. He was injured and was taken off the court, and then he could only walk on crutches.

It was originally an ankle fracture, but was rashly diagnosed as a "ligament strain" by the club's team doctor. As a result, for the next year, he continued to train, play, injured, recover, and retrain with an ankle fracture. Play again, get injured again... until he finally has to end his career early and become a football agent, but he has tried not to watch football matches on the spot. Football is not a good memory for him, and this is all thanks to an irresponsible and levelless "Mr. Nan Guo".

"If possible, it is best to take an X-ray film." He added.

Dunn felt that this request was too difficult to handle. "We didn't bring that stuff to Spain..."

"Where is the local hospital?"

"I don't know, but you can try to communicate."

"Then talk to them."

Dunn nodded and agreed to this suggestion. On George Wood's question, he dare not take it lightly. Although it is a little troublesome, it is worth it. He also wanted to reassure himself.

After making a decision on this matter, both people seemed to be a little relaxed. White also joked with Dunn: "Although it is dangerous to have Wood playing in the last ten minutes, we have also confirmed one thing: George is still in form and there is no problem with the team. You can rest assured, Tony ."

Dunn smiled: "He has always been like this, and his stability has made the enemy desperate." His tone was quite proud. After all, George Wood was brought out by him. Wood was well behaved and his face was light.

The two chatted casually and then returned to the locker room. The players who were interviewed outside have come back one after another, and when they saw the boss enter the room, they all cast their eyes on it. They won the old rival Germany, also won the first place in the group, and successfully qualified. Everyone still wants to hear the praise from the boss.

Dunn did not let them down. Seeing that everyone was there, he said with a happy face: "Good job, guys. We just won Germany and kicked them back to their hometown!" He made a kick ass. , Causing the players to laugh.

England and Germany have feuds in football. Although Dunn is not an Englishman in his heart, he must act as if he also values ​​this feud as a player. This will help inspire team morale and unite people. If he ignores opponents that the entire country values, then his prestige in this team will not be built. This is another reason why Dunn attaches so much importance to playing against the German team.

It’s like if the head coach of the Chinese national team said before the match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team that he didn’t care about the result of the game, and felt inexplicable and indifferent to the hatred of the players, media, and fans, his status in the locker room It will definitely fall sharply and won't get many people's support.

"Now you can relax and we will have a holiday tomorrow! But I remind you..." Dunn's expression became serious again, "I don't want your state to be a good game or a bad game. I don't want a game with Wales. It happens again. Every next game is a knockout, and it will be us who lose a game and roll home! Our goal is the champion. Before we win the championship trophy, no one will be behind me!"

At the end of the lecture, Dunn slapped his hands: "Okay, now pack up and go back to the hotel. You can sleep well tonight, heroes of England!" (To be continued, if you want to know what happened, Please visit www.qidian.com for more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!)
