Godfather Of Champions

The English players walked down the court and walked into the locker room with smiles that couldn't be concealed. In fact, they didn't want to conceal anything. Their smile must have deeply stimulated the French, which is their purpose.

They also showed the triumphant smile to the boss, making him blush and embarrassing him.

Of course Dunn saw that every England player who walked into the locker room seemed to have just won the first prize of the big lottery, with a full face.

Dunn deliberately showed weakness before the game, which angered the players and stimulated all their energy and fighting spirit. Judging from the first half, he received gratifying results. But if he is as complacent as those players, then the two-goal lead in the first half will soon be wiped out in the second half. Think about the game against Portugal. It’s almost exactly the same halftime. If it weren’t for their team’s strength in the second half, the Portuguese would be unlucky, and maybe Portugal would have won in the end.

Therefore, this intermission is very important to Dunn.

The first half proved three things: First, there is no problem with his tactical arrangements, completely on the road, otherwise the team will not be able to have an advantage in the score and the scene. Second, his psychological work before the war has received very good results. Both England and France have been affected. The English players think they are being looked down upon, and the French players are complacent for the compliments of the enemy. Third, the strength of the England team does not lag behind France at all.

With these three points, Dunn has great confidence in winning the game.

After the players entered the dressing room, they all looked at Dun En provocatively, the expression on that face seemed to be asking for credit.

Dunn smiled secretly, but his face was stretched like an iron plate.

"You did a good job in the first half." Regarding the performance of leading the French team by two goals and having an overall advantage in the first half, Dunn simply used "nice job" to describe it lightly. "But, do you think this is enough?"

His question stunned the players.

Twenty-five minutes before the first half, the lead was 2-0, and the scene had an absolute advantage from start to finish. Isn't this performance enough? What else does the boss want?

Looking at them in surprise, Dunn continued to laugh in his heart, while still maintaining a stern look on his face: "Look at you, what are you strange about? We are the team that wants to win the championship. This kind of performance is Is it satisfying for you? And I must point out that you actually only played well for twenty-three minutes. What did you do after we were two goals ahead? Be satisfied with the status quo and don’t want to continue attacking, right? Okay. , Seeing your performance like this, I have to revise my sentence-the most dangerous score in the world is not a one-goal lead, but a two-goal lead!"

The players who had been astonished and unconvinced by Dunn’s remarks also bowed their heads, because they really relaxed after leading two goals. On the one hand, it is naturally related to the poor performance of the French team. On the other hand, they themselves. The change in mentality is also crucial.

"If you are satisfied here and feel that a two-goal lead can make you feel comfortable and sleep boldly, then you will wait to be killed by the French in the last forty-five minutes! I'm definitely not being alarmist. You must be better in your hearts. I know better that each of you is a professional player who has experienced countless professional games. You are not a rookie who has just debuted for less than a month, guys! You know that when you underestimate your opponent, your opponent is full of anger and nowhere to vent. Time, what will be the consequences!"

Dunn said more and more severely, as if the England team's performance was really terrible.

"You can't wait to put a smile on the Frenchman's face after the first half. What do you think the Frenchman would think? Panicked or panicked during the intermission? Wrong! Gentlemen, what you are facing is France, they are aiming for the championship like us! This is not a semi-professional team in the fifth division of England! If you continue to start the second half with this mentality, I can call you to unsubscribe now Tickets are here-not for Barcelona, ​​but for the UK!"

Barcelona is the venue for the first semi-final. If England can beat France, they will go there to meet the winners of Spain and the Czech Republic.

"Now you still think I should praise your performance in the first half?"

No one said anything.

"If you want me to admit my mistakes and praise you, then win this game! Does 2:0 satisfy you? I don't! 3:0, 4:0, 5:0... Some people will think that Are there many goals scored?"

In fact, the performance of the English players when they left the field also helped Dunn a favor. Nowadays, the French must think that the English has raised his tail to the sky. Puel definitely felt that the Englishman would be proud and underestimate the enemy in the second half, and the French team had a chance to reverse.

But Dunn wanted Puel to know that he was just the grandson monkey in the palm of the Tathagata, and he would never be able to turn it out!

"Don't you think that the game is over here. In the second half, cheer me up and continue to put pressure on the French team. Our tactics are very successful, everything is just like the first half... If you can keep going in the second half With the ball, the French's fighting spirit will collapse sooner or later... Remember, no matter how many goals we are ahead, don't be soft! Your hands are soft, and the one who gets out of the house is yourself! Don't let me pass any chance to score. Don’t you worry about the French team’s higher winning odds? Don’t you think that the media will only hype the French team as the favorites to win the championship? Now there is such a great opportunity in front of you!" Dunn pointed to the door of the locker room and shouted, "Kill France and let the whole world see your energy! Tell the stupid media who is the real favorite to win the championship!"

While Dunn was agitating the players in the dressing room, Puel was in the dressing room encouraging the French players who had been beaten by the English.

"...They are nothing terrible. They are just a quick counterattack. In the second half, we should pay attention to the two full-backs. The key is that you must regain your confidence. But it’s for the championship. How can we win the championship if England can’t clean up? I admit that we underestimated them in the first half, but fortunately we still have 45 minutes. As long as you can score as early as possible in the second half , The next game will be easy to play."

Diarra opened his mouth and actually wanted to ask: "What if there is no goal in the beginning?"

But in the end he didn't throw out the problem. He was also very depressed in the first half, performance and expectations were too far apart, and in a sense, it was his special attention to George Wood in the midfield that led to the first loss. He was considering whether to be honest in the second half and stay in the position of the back midfielder to defend firmly when he heard Puel call his name.

Diarra, who was named, raised his head and looked at the coach.

"In the second half, you and Mathieu (Flamini) put pressure on England's midfielder." This means that don't rush back for the time being and continue to press the opposing midfielder because of George Wood and Jie. Ladd's position is all in the midfielder, relatively back, if you want to put pressure, then you must press it up.

Diarra did not refute the head coach's arrangement, and he nodded in agreement.

"No problem, coach." Flamini also nodded in response.

"Gentlemen, our strategy in the second half is still to attack. It is impossible to win without attacking, and I hope you keep this in mind. From the start of the game, you will put pressure on the England team. If you run more aggressively in the frontcourt, just The ground fights back. I don’t want to see you sleepwalking in the first half."

"I don't expect the French team to shrink the defense because they are two goals behind and must score goals to have the hope of winning. But they should let the two full-backs who were too active in the first half reduce the number of assists. This is general The only concession El can make. So don’t rush to attack at the beginning of the second half, and defend first. At that time, the French team’s offense must be very fierce, and you will lose the ball if you are not careful. Once the lead is reduced from two goals to one The ball, you all know what it means. In short, you can't take it lightly. Any small mistake among you can put the team in a very dangerous situation."

Dunn laid out the specific tactical details, then he looked at his watch, and the intermission was almost over. But he was not in a hurry. He decided to let the French players go out and wait.

"There is still some time. Let's talk about some of my remarks a few days before the game..."

The players all raised their heads and looked at Dunn in surprise.

"I know that some of you are very upset with what I said, thinking that I despise you, and even... insult you?" Dunn looked at the surprised players, hehe.

Is not it? Some players asked in their hearts.

"Haha!" Don't laugh deeply, "But looking at the current score, I don't think my words are for nothing..."

Dunn didn't fully explain his words, but of course the bright players can figure it out. If they can't figure it out, it's boring to pierce it. After the game is over, those who can't figure it out will naturally figure it out.

Sure enough, the eyes of the players coming out of Nottingham Forest have been bright, and they all understand the boss's good intentions. Gerald and Terry also bowed their heads thoughtfully.

Dunn looked at his watch again, guessing that the French team should have already played. Then he stood up, opened the door, and waved his hand: "Let’s go, guys. Don’t forget every word I just said. , That is the key to victory!"

The French did come first and waited for England for two full minutes. No one noticed these two minutes at ordinary times, but in such a noisy environment, waiting for two minutes in the sky above the court made the French feel like they looked like fools.

When the English players appeared at the entrance of the tunnel, the French fans in the stands could not wait to boo and scold them. The British and French have always looked down upon each other, and football has magnified this hatred a hundredfold. The French booed the England team, and English fans sang songs to harm the French. The two sides would not give in to each other.

The players weren't affected by the fans, and they soon stood on the court, ready to kick-off.

Dunn followed the players back to the sidelines, instead of sitting directly on the coach's bench, but standing on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, he wanted to supervise the players' games. Until fifteen minutes after the start of the game, if there are no problems, he will return to the coaching bench and sit down.

He wants to let the players know. He, the head coach of the England team, Tony Dunn is standing on the sidelines!

※※※

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the French team launched a fierce offensive into the England penalty area, but the English defense led by George Wood is not a vegetarian, especially George Wood’s interception in the midfield, which seems to be erected in front of Terry. With a barrier, threatening offenses basically cannot enter.

Neither Gourcuff nor Nasri could break Wood's defense head-on in the middle, and could only look for opportunities on the wing. England had deployed heavy troops on the sidewalk, waiting for the French to bump into it.

In the end, the French team can only rely on the individual abilities of the stars to break through and seek opportunities. This is what Dunn is most afraid of. His team's overall defense is quite good. No matter who comes, he has the confidence to stop.

What's more, Benzema was cold in the half, and his feet were a little rusty, and his state was not at his best. Even if he got a shot, he wasted it several times. Seeing the real Madrid's head archer holding his head in his hands again and again upset, Dunn felt relieved.

Falling into the trap I carefully designed, do you still want to perform well? Go daydreaming!

※※※

The French team attacked for thirteen minutes and still did not receive any results. The score was still 0:2, and they were two goals behind. Diarra also didn’t get too many chances to confront Wood. Wood seemed to see his intentions. He seldom allowed the football to stay at his feet for too long and always played the ball quickly, thanks to him every time. Observe the position of the teammates on the field before receiving the ball. After Diarra pounced a few times, he realized that he was in vain and stopped.

Puel was dissatisfied with this and yelled Diarra's name off the court to make him more positive.

The former Lyon coach really lacks the experience to deal with this kind of situation. His loss of the ball in the previous two-odd games has been too smooth... Smoothness is simply dangerous.

He only saw the 0:2 score and couldn't wait to attack, but he didn't notice the cold light hidden behind England's solid defense.

Diarra saw it, so he defied the coach's order from the sidelines. When George Wood took the ball again, he didn't pounce like a tiger, but backed up and waited quietly in the midfielder.

"This bastard!" Puel scolded angrily when he saw Diarra's performance on the sidelines. If the team eventually loses, he will definitely be called Diarra in the locker room. This is a blatant provocation of his authority and is absolutely intolerable!

But Diarra soon used practical actions to prove that his approach was correct.

Wood saw that Diarra didn't pounce, so he passed the football to Gerrard. Gerrard drove the ball in from the center and caught Flamini by surprise. If Diarra also rushed to deal with Wood, I'm afraid the French midfielder will let Gerrard break through. But fortunately, Diarra was in the midfielder and arrived in time. After posting Gerrard, he broke the football and prevented an England attack.

Dunn, who saw this off the court, and George Wood on the court raised their eyebrows at the same time.

It seemed that there was someone who couldn't get around in the second half.
