Godfather Of Champions

Mitchell's goal made the English fans who were a little restless before ecstatic, they hugged each other in the stands and cheered loudly. In faraway England, everyone who followed the game was calling Mitchell's name to applaud him.

On the England coach's bench and bench, people also jumped up, rushing to the sidelines and waving their fists to release their emotions.

For the English, this is a happy moment. They lead Spain 3-1 when the game is about to enter injury time, and they are almost sure to qualify for the final. If you have wine at hand, drink it, and if there is someone around you, hug it.

But in this noisy and joyous atmosphere, only Mitchell knelt on the ground and did not participate.

The joy of reaching the finals has nothing to do with him. When the semi-finals are over, his European Cup ends here.

At this time, he really couldn't laugh, even if he himself was a relatively optimistic person.

Rooney ran up and hugged his shoulders from behind, kneeling with him on the ground. "Good job, Aron!"

Mitchell did not respond to the compliments of the predecessors.

At this time, he even hoped that the semi-finals would be longer. He didn't want to leave so early.

"Aaron Mitchell. Although he has missed the final, but he used such a wonderful goal to send the team to the final... It is a pity that he cannot be seen in the Bernabeu final... "John Mortensen said emotionally.

"England has lost a sharp tooth. I don't know how this loss will affect them in the final..." After seeing Mitchel's goal, commentators from other countries said they could not bring it. With Mitchell going to the final, Dunn might have a headache for a while.

Asenhuo spread his hands and shook his head helplessly. In the face of such a loss, he really has nothing to say. England's counterattack was expected, but he didn't expect Mitchell to choose such a shooting method, which made him helpless.

Pi Kui stood in front of him, looking down at the turf, no expression, no one knew what he was thinking.

Fabregas put his head in his hands and pressed his lips tightly. He can already foresee the team's failure. But when the mighty Spain faced England, there was almost no ability to fight back. What went wrong?

Maybe Hierro knew. From the beginning of the game, England's changes completely exceeded his expectations, and in response to such changes, his adjustments seemed too slow. During the first half, he almost did nothing and watched England take advantage. .

Sitting on the coach’s bench, Hierro had to admit that, as a head coach, he still has some inexperience... He did make adjustments during the intermission, but they were all in Dunn’s calculations. Run around by his nose.

It is not so much that Dunn won tactically, as it is that experience has the upper hand.

In four minutes of stoppage time, the Spanish team knows that their chances of promotion are very slim, but they are not willing to let England go. During these four minutes, it was completely bombarded around the restricted area of ​​England. The England team all contracted their defenses and guarded the penalty area.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Spanish players collapsed on the turf, while the English substitute players rushed into the court, hugged with their teammates, and celebrated this historic moment.

"The game is over! 3:1! England beat Spain! Fifty years later, we once again entered the final of the World Series! Champion, here we are!" John Mortensen shouted, but his The voice has been drowned in the louder cheers on the scene.

Dunn ran onto the field, did not hug the others, but ran straight to Mitchell. He stretched out his hands and gave him a firm hug.

"You did a great job, Aron."

He stroked Mitchel's hair, comforting him who was lost in the joyous crowd.

Mitchell finally didn't hold back the tears, and wiped them all on Dunn's suit and shirt. "I want to play in the finals, boss..."

Facing his cry like this, Dunn couldn't say anything, and could only hold him tighter.

George Wood had planned to comfort Mitchel, but he was a step slower and was held back by his passionate teammates. When he saw that Dunn was talking about Mitchel with his arms around him, he stopped and only watched quietly from a distance.

On such a night, even if one million people are happy, it cannot make the young man in front of him happy.

Wood felt someone touch his arm. He looked back and found that it was Fabregas. He pointed to Wood's jersey: "Exchange it?"

Without a word, Wood took off his jersey and handed it over.

Fabregas also handed his jersey to Wood.

"You guys played well. I'm sorry about Mitchell, it was not my decision..." Fabregas tried to comfort Wood who was not in a good mood.

Wood shook his head: "It's me, I will do that too."

"It's you instead? Do you mean a foul or induce a foul?"

"It will." Wood hung Fabregas's jersey over his shoulder.

Fabregas knew it was not Wood being polite, he would really do it. So he smiled, thinking that he was a bit stupid to say that to Wood, how could he forget who the other person was? To achieve the goal by any means, this is their "head" Tony Dunn has been teaching them. When does a winner need a loser to sympathize?

"Good luck, the final will not be good. But I will cheer you on." Fabregas patted Wood on the shoulder. This pair of opponents who have been enemies in the Premier League for more than ten years is in the game. It is like a friend who has known each other for a long time. "To eliminate our team, I hope it is the champion. If it is runner-up, we can't afford to lose that person."

He waved to bid farewell to the victor Wood.

In the press conference after the game, Dunn specifically talked about Mitchell. After praising his performance, he also admitted that losing such an excellent center in the final was a big blow to himself.

When the reporter said that Lago was obviously going to Wood, between Wood and Mitchell, asking him to choose to give up one person, which he would choose, he replied: "I will not give up either."

In the England team, as Mitchell will definitely miss the final, the joy of qualifying for the final has been slightly diminished. Everyone in the locker room was comforting Mitchell, but they were not as comforting as Wood's hug.

Wood knew in his heart that it was Mitchell who sent him to the final. So this hug is particularly powerful.

※※※

In fact, Mitchell is essentially an optimistic person. The next day the team had breakfast in the hotel and was ready to leave for Madrid. He seemed to have returned to normal, his frustrated expression was gone, and others were no longer silent and glum when talking to him.

This gave assistant coach Des Walker a sigh of relief. If Mitchell is always frowning, it will definitely affect the team's morale and psychology, which is not conducive to their performance in the finals. Looking at it now, he was worried for nothing.

Promoting to the final did not give the players a chance to relax. On the night of arriving in Madrid, Dunn arranged a night training. In training, Mitchell was more active than usual. It stands to reason that his European Cup has ended, and there is no need to participate in training, but he still takes training seriously. Seeing him so desperately on the training ground, the players who secretly shouted tired have no reason to be lazy.

In fact, he is not targeting his teammates, he just wants to vent his excess energy and depressed mood to the training field-it is impossible for him to vent on the field.

The players also noticed Mitchell's actions. They were secretly planning an action concerning Mitchell.

"We have to do something for him." Someone was whispering between training, avoiding Mitchell. It's a few strikers. "In such an important final, he became an audience. I believe he must feel uncomfortable. Regardless of what he shows, it is an illusion." Abangraho, as Mitchell's club teammate, felt the same way.

"But we have comforted him several times, and it doesn't seem to be effective..." James Vaughn was helpless. He and Mitchell are not teammates of the club. The contact is only at the national team level. He can't say something that is too intimate, and words of comfort can only be formal.

"It's not the time to comfort him." Rooney expressed his opinion. "It's very simple. It has happened. No matter how we comfort him, it's useless. He just can't participate in the final. I think what we should do now is Let him feel that we are all with him..." Rooney thought for a while, raised his head and said to the other two people, "I don't know who of us will start in the final."

As an old England player, he is definitely not modest or hypocritical. Rooney is not that kind of person. In fact, since the first group match against Portugal, Dunn has been constantly adjusting his team. The starting lineup is almost different every time. Anyone can be placed on the bench, and anyone can start. . It would be foolish to say now that he will definitely start.

"I don't know who of us can score a goal. If possible, hug him after the goal or write something on the T-shirt."

"That's a good idea!" Abangraho's eyes lit up, "I'll tell others..." He patted his **** and was about to leave, but Rooney was caught by him.

"Don't let him know, surprise him!"

Abangraho made an "OK" gesture.

In fact, the appearance of Abangraho and others whispering together is really conspicuous, but at this time Mitchell is full of vents, and doesn't care about other people's abnormal behavior.

He seldom shoots vigorously when shooting, but in training, he shoots the ball vigorously, just like the goalkeeper Joe Hart standing in front of the goal is his killer enemy.

Mitchell didn't notice, it doesn't mean that others didn't notice either.

"What are they doing?" Seeing a group of players gather together and look around and look around, mysteriously. Assistant coach Des Walker frowned.

"The ghost knows." Dunn didn't care much, he shrugged. Everyone has their own little privacy, and the players are no exception. They like to get together and talk about topics that are only of interest to them. There is no need for coaches to interfere. "As long as they don't do this during training."

Dunn is now full of their opponents in the finals, and he doesn't care about the players' performance.

The opponent in the final has come out.

It is the Italian team that gives Dunn the most headache.

The Italian coach is almost a natural tactical master, and the final must be a tactical showdown. Coupled with the Italian defensive tradition, they will definitely not give England room for speed. England's most proud of the fast offense in the game against them, will not get any cheap. Dunn can predict that this final will be very, very difficult.

With such things bothering him, how could he even think about the players getting together to discuss such trivial matters?

※※※

Dunn is worrying about their opponents in the finals, and the same person who has a headache for their opponents in the finals is Italy's old coach Lippi.

The 68-year-old Lippi has decided to retire completely after leading the European Cup and will never go out to coach the Italian team. Why do you say that, because this is Lippi's second comeback to save Italy. After leading the team to the 2006 World Cup in Germany, he once said goodbye to the national team, but his successor Donaldell's Italian team in the 2008 European Championships could not bear to gamble, and finally the Italian Football Association left at home again. Lippi invited back. This time Lippi worked until the 2012 European Championships. Due to poor results, he took the blame and resigned. It's just that his successor's performance was worse than him, dignified Italy, and was eliminated in the Brazil World Cup without even qualifying for the group stage. This time there was a high demand for Lippi in Italy. Many enthusiastic fans even went to Lippi’s door to sit down and petition. Lippi was greatly moved, so he decided to go out to coach the Italian team again, but he He only promised to coach this European Cup. After the European Cup is over, he will retire completely no matter what the result is. I also hope that the enthusiastic fans will not disturb his private life again.

But I am afraid that even Lippi himself did not expect that his last coaching would lead the team to the finals in one breath. The media in Italy are now saying that Lippi intends to use a European Cup champion to draw a complete end to his coaching career. Because when Lippi was coaching Juventus, he led the team to five league titles, one FA Cup, one Toyota Cup, and one European Champions Cup. By 2006, he reached the peak of his personal coaching career—— Leading the Italian team that was not optimistic before the match won the German World Cup. If there is any regret for such a successful head coach, it is that he has never achieved the king of Europe in the national team.

It was an unintentional move, but he did not expect it to achieve his biggest dream. Now he has the hope to achieve this step and let his coaching career have no regrets. Leaving his favorite position with an honor, leaving a legend for the world football.

But before becoming a legend, he needs to defeat a difficult opponent-no less inferior to him in winning the championship trophy, as if appearing in the sky like a comet, Tony Dunn, the most dominant coach in Europe in the past decade .

This is a duel at the godfather level. The collision between the old godfather and the new godfather is also the alternation of the old and new eras of European football.

Only in such a final can we be worthy of the teams that have been eliminated-the team that beats ours is the best, not a cat or a dog. Losing to such an opponent is not a shame...
