Godfather Of Champions

"It's not that friends don't get together", this sentence is used to describe Dunn's coaching career in the past few years.

Nottingham Forest vs. Barcelona, ​​Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea. These games have all appeared in the UEFA Champions League. Any team that competes with Forest will not be able to avoid a battle with Forest in important matches in the end.

Now, this "honor" is AC Milan's turn.

The Italian media, especially the local media in Milan, were very happy to see the success of this encounter-finally found a chance for revenge. These Italians can't forget the attitude of Dunn towards them after the Forest team won the championship last year. It was simply gritted teeth.

At that time, because the Forest team was the champion and Dunn was the winner, no matter how angry they were, they had no choice but to accept the insult. Dunn is right. He is an Englishman. He did not ask the Italian media to interview him. Instead, Italian reporters who needed news asked him...

Now it's different, now Feng Shui takes turns. As long as AC Milan can eliminate Nottingham Forest, Dunn will suffer crazy revenge from the Italian media. The Italians will be very happy to see Dunn being attacked by them at the press conference... No, no, we won't ask Mr. Dunn a question at all, prepare to accept the cold reception of Italian journalists!

AC Milan’s head coach Ancelotti watched the players training with furrowed brows. He is going to England tomorrow, and his mood can't get better. Nesta's injury is not yet healed, AC Milan's defense line is too old, it really makes him uneasy.

On the attacking line, since Shepchenko left, AC Milan forwards have always forgotten to bring their shooting boots. The task of scoring more needs the help of midfielders.

Inzaghi is getting old and has constant injuries; Gilardino did not show the level people expected; Ronal bought from Real Madrid with multiple injuries, completely bid farewell to this season, and this Brazilian fat guy is likely to be more thorough Farewell to his career... It's Pato who has joined the team this season that gives people hope.

As he was under the age of eighteen before, according to the regulations of the Brazilian Football Association, Pato could only train with the team and could not officially play for AC Milan. He was his birthday on September 2, but when the player registration dates for Serie A and Champions League matches passed, he could only play some youth games with the AC Milan youth team. It was not until after January 2008 that he was selected into the AC Milan first team lineup and entered the qualifying list for the Champions League.

After officially becoming a member of AC Milan, Pato showed his amazing talent, and now he has become the most trustworthy shooter despite the weakness of other teammates. This time to Nottingham, he will also be entrusted with important tasks.

Kaka's performance is as good as ever. But thinking of that George Wood... Ancelotti's heart sank again.

Tony Dunn obviously has a thorough research on AC Milan, and even more thorough research on the core characters of AC Milan...

The media outside are as annoying as flies. They preach a battle of revenge. They know what a shit! In such a game, is it possible to get revenge if you want revenge? The rivalry between the two teams was so high that he couldn't do it if he wanted to keep a low profile on this away trip...

Since losing to Nottingham Forest in the Champions League final, Ancelotti has got the hang of it-he realizes that Dunn’s previous remarks have only one purpose: to provoke him, to make him lose his calmness and accuracy. judgment.

Therefore, the most important thing to play against the Forest is to be calm. No matter what the big mouth coach says, he just fart.

Ancelotti shook his head slightly. The current situation is that the media has heated up the game between the two teams. How many people can remain calm?

"I think AC Milan will choose a more conservative tactic in the away game, and getting one point away is the most practical way."

In the tactics class before the game, Tang was explaining the tactics to be used in the game tomorrow to the players, and Dunn sat next to him and listened quietly.

"Italian teams are very good at defensive. If they really want to defend, we will have trouble. So our offense is dominated by the wing. We pull away their dense defense and then cross..."

In this game, the Forest team decided to use their best wing attack to tear apart AC Milan's defense. Ribery and Beckham will start the field. Their breakthroughs and crosses will help the high center Van Nistel in the penalty area. Rui made murder. Eastwood was cruising behind Van Nistelrooy, looking for opportunities.

George Wood is responsible for the strict marking of Kaka. The only person he needs to deal with in this game is Kaka, and other defenses don't need him to consider. There are Pepe, Pique, and other guards. The forest team's defense has always been an overall defense. George Wood is just because he is the captain and he is one-on-one with world-class players, so he looks infinite. In fact, he knew very well that behind him, there was a group of defensive teammates who silently supported him.

Tang took a moment to explain the tactics. After everyone understood what they should do in tomorrow's game, they returned the dominant power to Dun En.

He stood up and coughed: "I have been thinking about a question just now. Before the season, I said publicly that our goal for this season is the league championship. So I want to ask guys, do you think we should give up the Champions League, or say... …It doesn’t matter what results you achieve in the Champions League?"

"Of course the more champions, the better, boss!" someone responded.

Dunn looked over and found Eastwood.

"What about the rest?"

"We all agree with the gypsies, boss!" everyone said in unison.

Tang En nodded heavily: "Ah, then I can rest assured. I thought you lost your fighting spirit in the Champions League..."

There was a boo in the tactical room.

"Should we stop protesting for being underestimated?" Eastwood stood up and waved his arms exaggeratedly.

"Are you doing your own welfare, Freddie?" Dunn sneered. "I promise you won't need training anymore."

Eastwood hurriedly sat down with her neck shrinking.

The boos turned into laughter.

When the laughter faded away, Dunn said: "I am sorry for the unprovoked speculation before, so I apologize formally to you."

In fact, this is not unreasonable speculation. Just now when Tang was explaining the tactics, he was really distracted. At the beginning, he was distracted because he was able to recite all the things Tang said, because he was also one of the tactical planners, so Dunn decided to take advantage of this time to think about other things. Later, I didn't know how to turn to worry about the team's competitiveness.

Before the season, he opened a newspaper column and said that the goal of the team this season is the league championship, just because he has not won the league championship. For countless professional clubs, the Champions League championship is important, but the league is the foundation and foundation. . He hopes he can win the league championship trophy.

But this does not mean that he is going to give up the Champions League game-some media did think so before. Therefore, he is worried that there will be such ideas within the team, and he cannot always keep up with the latest ideas of the players. People's hearts are separated by the belly, and people who are familiar with them may change their hearts, let alone these professional players.

So he is worried that players will need to fight in two lines in the future, and when they are physically challenged, they will have psychological problems. He wants to guard against things.

Now seeing the performance of these people, he breathed a sigh of relief. Tony Dunn’s Nottingham Forest is still on the basis of survival, and the source of strength for constant victory is still there. There is nothing to worry about.

Therefore, he apologized to the players, it was a sincere apology, but also an apology full of joy.

"In this case, AC Milan will look good in tomorrow's game."

Everyone laughed again.

AC Milan has arrived in Nottingham, and the hype in the Italian media about the "War of Vengeance" has reached a climax. If the fire is added, these Italians will probably climax to the ground with all their strength...

But Dunn did not challenge.

No matter how the outside hype the "special significance" of this game, Dunn just won't take it.

He wanted to die of the Italian media who had been hung in the air.

In fact, Dunn didn't want his team to fall into the psychological warfare of the opposing team. This may not be initiated by AC Milan, but it must be the result they are happy to see-if both themselves and their team lose their composure.

He himself likes to launch psychological warfare against opponents, so how can he allow himself to be recruited?

He shouldn't fight, just don't want the players to think this is a great game, in fact, this is just an ordinary eighth finals. Not because the opponent is the traditional Italian giants AC Milan and the season Champions League final opponent, it must be so terrible.

Isn’t it normal to meet opponents of this level in the Champions League?

For Barcelona last season, he sees the meaning of repeating the battle of revenge this way because the gimmick of "revenge" can help him stimulate the full energy of his players and defeat a powerful opponent. And this season, as a winner, he has no position to use the "War of Vengeance" as a gimmick. The best way is to deal with it calmly, don't let yourself be caught by the media...

At the press conference before the game, some Italian media finally couldn't help but directly asked: "The outside world is talking about the revenge battle of AC Milan. May I ask Coach Dunn, what do you think of this problem..."

"No comment." Dunn said with diplomatic prevarication with a stern face.

Those Italian reporters were not reconciled to let Dunn go. This was the last chance. When the game is over, who knows what the result will be. In case...it means in case that Nottingham Forest wins the home game, they really have no excuse to hype up the battle of revenge.

"Coach Ancelotti didn't just say that they want to win this game, so..."

"Do you want to hear Coach Ancelotti say they want to lose this game? Well, this is a very good news, shocking enough..." Dunn said seriously, touching his chin.

There was a burst of laughter at the press conference, mostly from the English media.

It is a pity that the two head coaches did not appear at the press conference at the same time, otherwise Ancelotti must have a wonderful expression on his face now...

The expressions on the faces of the Italian journalists sitting together began to become embarrassing.

Dunn glanced at these unwilling reporters and yawned. "It's nothing I'm leaving. Thank you for participating in this press conference. See you next time." He learned the accent of a TV host, waved his hand, stood up and patted his **** and left.

He has already answered questions from the English media, so the English reporters did not say anything about his departure. But the Italian reporters present were very upset.

For Italy, where the coach’s personality is far less prominent than that of England, how many coaches dare to embarrass the "uncrowned kings" like this?

In May of last year, Dunn relied on being the champion of the new division and ridiculed the Italian media. Why is he here again today?

The Italians were angry.

Someone murmured and cursed Dunn and went to **** immediately. Of course he uses Italian. If he uses English, there must be a kind British counterpart to remind them:

For Tony Dunn, **** is his home court.

The evening breeze blowing from Sherwood Forest is still a bit bitterly chilly. After all, it is still February, but only in the City Stadium on the south bank of the Trent River, the high temperature can melt ice and snow.

The hustle and bustle around the city stadium is still clear a mile away. This is not a weekend, but the popularity is not low at all, because today is the Champions League match day.

AC Milan is a guest at the City Stadium, home of Nottingham Forest. Not everyone can remain calm in the frequent "revenge battle" hype, so many forest fans want to give their guests the most warm welcome on their territory.

The police force responsible for duty around the stadium has doubled and a half. Fans in Italy and England have always been troublesome figures. The Chief of Police in Nottingham certainly does not want to have any more incidents of fan fighting and death during his tenure.

AC Milan’s bus has been closely protected, and the Milan players sitting in the car have no interest in the outside world. They have seen such a frenetic away atmosphere a lot, and the Devil’s home game is not the only place in England.

Only Kaka looked at the hideous faces outside. He was not afraid of these fierce looking fans, he just thought of the game last May.

Last season AC Milan had a fleeting disadvantage, because of the "phone gate" scandal, they were almost going to the second division to start over. The team's performance in the league has also been ups and downs, very unstable. Andre went to London, as if he had taken away all the shooting boots in the AC Milan locker room. The forwards almost forgot the feeling of shooting. He stood up and saved the team. Especially in the Champions League, how many times has he saved the team? He doesn't even remember, the fans always talk about their omnipotent Kaka.

He thinks so too, and is proud of his performance. He believes that as long as he maintains this state, the Champions League this season must belong to AC Milan. Since joining AC Milan in 2004, he has just passed this honor.

result……

As everyone knows, he once again passed the Champions League. In the final, he once had the opportunity to save the team again and become an omnipotent hero. But that number 13...

The car stopped and Kaka came back to his senses. He found that the player entrance of the court was not far ahead.

The automatic door opened, and a huge noise poured in instantly. Kaka got up from his seat and walked to the car door with his teammates. Not at all affected by this fanatical atmosphere.

This time, I must not pass by again! (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!)
