Godfather Of Champions

In the next few days, the media was still hyping Dunn's hearing. Everyone wanted to know what he said to UEFA officials at the hearing, so that UEFA, who wanted to put him to death, finally let him go.

Dunn didn't say anything, even if Bruce called him to get a little "inside information", he didn't say a word. This episode is destined to become a secret that will never be told. Maybe people can look forward to one day Dunn retires from the coaching position and reveals some when he is autobiography.

No one in UEFA mentions this again, as if nothing had happened.

The Catalan media are still a little upset, but what can they do? Except for a few rants on his own one-acre three-quarters of land, he has no influence. This time they lost to Tony Dunn both on and off the court. I can't swallow that bad breath, so I have to allow people to vent on their own media.

But they did not gain anything. At least some Catalan journalists who wrote more calmly still analyzed that even if Nottingham Forest successfully eliminated Barcelona, ​​they would have passed UEFA's hurdle. But they paid a very heavy price:

In the first round, Tony Dunn was banned for four games for insulting the referee. Only one game was stopped. There are three more games after that. If the Forest team can get to the final with good luck, they will also face a game without a coach. Finals. At that time, Tony Dunn didn't have 27,000 home team fans on the scene to give him a microphone.

Pepe received a red card in the first round and was suspended for two games, with one game remaining.

George Wood received a red card in the second round for violence on the court and was suspended for two games. Both rounds of the semi-final games will be absent. The importance of him and Pepe to the team is self-evident, and their absence is a heavy blow to the forest team's defense.

In addition, Lennon was injured by Yaya Toure in the second round. He was checked after the game and confirmed that he would miss all the remaining games of the season. Nottingham Forest's two-dollar general will suffer serious injuries this season, and luck is indeed a bit bad.

These four factors determine that their semifinals will be very difficult to play.

And Barcelona media analysis believes that the deadliest are two points, Wood's suspension and Dunn's suspension. The trick Tony Dunn used to deal with Barcelona has been exposed, and he cannot use it a second time. And this time, UEFA’s supervisors will accompany him all the way to prevent him from using the fans as microphones to convey his latest instructions-I have to admit that he is a genius idea of ​​using fans and the team at home... …

The opponent of the Forest team in the semifinals is from Bayern Munich, Germany, which is a hard bone. The German team has always been tough and tenacious, Dunn’s "spiritual motivation method" may not work for Bayern Munich. Without his on-the-spot command, the forest team's strength would at least drop by more than half the level. Plus George Wood can't make it...

Wood has always been a midfield barrier for Nottingham Forest, and his role need not be said. When a player of his type is on the court, most people may not see his effect, but once he is gone, the effect will be obvious. Anyone who knows the ball knows how important a team's midfielder is, especially for a team like the Forest team that settles down on defense.

If Wood is not present, the opponent's offense will directly threaten the defense line of the Dao Forest team. Tiago is obviously not suitable for Wood's kind of work. He has limited ability and physical fitness. And another very serious problem that has been overlooked intentionally or unintentionally before also surfaced-after so many years of searching, George Wood's qualified substitute was still not found. Now that he has been suspended for two games, the forest team's midfielder can no longer find a defensive player. Thiago is not a pure midfielder. He often needs to participate in the offense. When Wood is on the court, he occasionally plays a defensive midfielder. There is no problem because there is no risk with Wood protecting him. When there is no Wood, his shortcomings will be magnified.

With such an analysis, Nottingham Forest will actually not be happy for long.

Once such an analysis article came out, it was ridiculed by Nottingham Forest fans as "Barcelonas' self-psychological comfort."

But the facts soon proved the foresight of this article...

"The game is over! Nottingham Forest lost to Bayern Munich 0:2 away, and was eliminated with a total score of 1:3!!!"

With the referee's three whistles, the Allianz Arena was full of joy.

Bayern Munich’s coaches and substitute players swarmed onto the field and hugged tightly with those on the field.

On the other side, the Forest players stood on the court, dejected.

The TV broadcast immediately gave a shot of a corner of the stands. Tony Dunn's expressionless face appeared in the picture. He is surrounded by a group of somewhat lost Nottingham Forest fans, this time he can no longer use his home court advantage to cause trouble for his opponents, and his luck seems to have come to an end.

Less than five minutes after the game started, the Forest team lost a goal first. This unexpected blow disrupted all the team's previous deployment, and the subsequent game gradually got out of Dunn's control. He was powerless to face this situation in the stands.

He was full of excited cheers from Bayern Munich fans. He lowered his head and turned to leave the stands with a group of fans.

"Tony Dunn finally lowered his proud head!" This is how the commentator interpreted this action. He then joked, "Nottingham Forest eliminated Inter Milan and Barcelona, ​​which happened to be the last two seasons of the European Champions Cup. At one time, the English media called Nottingham Forest the'champion killer'. This name sounds really cool, but they Unfortunately, it’s such a name. Bayern Munich hasn’t won the Champions League in recent years... So the magical Nottingham Forest seems to have a lack of motivation when facing Bayern Munich, which is not a champion. This directly caused them. Knocked out..."

This explanation seems to make some sense.

Dunn could only smile bitterly when he heard this statement after the game. It seems that there is really providence in the dark?

But this can be regarded as a tidbit of the game.

After the game, Dunn entered the locker room. He didn't criticize the team, let alone swear, and screamed everyone. He just expressed regret for the result of the team being out, and then praised the performance of the team, saying that they have done their best and there is nothing to regret. We can only look forward to coming again next year.

In the end he also joked: "That’s good, we’ve embarrassed UEFA too many times. Guys, think about it, if we really make it to the final and win the championship... The team with the coach sitting in the stands wins the cup. What an embarrassment for UEFA? We have to save some face."

When he said this, everyone burst into laughter, and the previously depressed mood slowly disappeared.

Dunn felt relieved when everyone felt better. The Champions League is out, and there is no point in dwelling on this kind of past. It is better to let the team recover and prepare for the league as soon as possible. This season, the Forest team must ensure that they can enter the Champions League next season. This is the top priority.

"Well, guys, go home!"

Dunn clapped his hands and ended his speech. The players stood up and began to pack their bags.

Dunn, who walked out of the locker room, was quickly spotted by the sensitive reporters and surrounded.

Countless microphones reached out to his mouth, almost poking in directly. Dunn had to tilt his head back and try his best to avoid the bad luck of "oral sex" with the microphone.

"Hey! Hey! Keep the microphone away from my mouth!"

"Mr. Dunn, do you have anything to say about the team being eliminated?"

"I have nothing to say, winning or losing is normal. I wish Bayern Munich the championship in the end, that's it..."

"Mr. Dunn! Do you admit that your suspension has had a great impact on the team? The team's final elimination is directly related to your hot temper..."

"Nonsense! My team is a whole and it will never be affected by the loss of someone. My temper is hot? I didn't make any mistakes about that, and UEFA has agreed with it." Since the hearing After the meeting, whenever a reporter intends to use his grievances with Barcelona to provoke an incident, he will smash the opponent with the golden sign of UEFA, and the opponent will not respond. This is shameless, but no one can move him. "I just defend my legitimate rights and interests."

As soon as this remark came out, it was a big killer, and many reporters shut up.

"Okay, please give in, don't block the door, okay?" Tang En stretched out his hands and pulled in the crowd, intending to dig a way out of blood.

"Mr. Dunn, I have another question..."

"Keep it for it to bloom and bear fruit!"

"Mr. Dunn, Mr. Dunn!"

Regardless of the "reluctant" voices of many reporters, Tang En cut a **** way and rushed out.

Bayern Munich coach Krisman, who accidentally ran into this scene next to him, saw Dunn being chased by the reporters, a little embarrassed figure, and laughed: "I was fined in the stands and still the focus figure, really worthy of being a star coach. "

Nottingham Forest lost the semi-finals, which is not an unexpected upset. After all, Bayern Munich is also the leader of the Bundesliga, and the current situation of the Forest team is indeed very bad. Many players have been suspended and injured. So reaching the semifinals is already a very good result.

Some Forest fans even think that the two games against Barcelona are already the finals of the Champions League this season. As long as they win Barcelona, ​​they will have nothing else to ask for this season...

Such a statement will naturally make Barcelona fans sneer and satirize Nottingham Forest for not pursuing it.

However, the Forest team also won Barcelona. As a winner, they are indeed qualified to be so "not pursued"...

Nottingham Forest lost the Champions League. This is not good news for other opponents in the Premier League. No matter how you feel Dunn is not pleasing to the eye, you can never say "I hope the Forest team will be eliminated" at this time. Come.

Because Dunn’s wolves are eliminated, it means that they will shift all their focus to the league. The Forest team currently ranks fourth in the league. If they do their best to deal with the league, it is not impossible to reach second in the league. You must know that the points difference between second and fifth in the league is very small...

Those opponents of the Forest team hope that Nottingham Forest can go as far as possible in the Champions League. Of course, maybe only Manchester United coach Ferguson doesn't think so, because his team once again made it to the final... His wish should be for Nottingham Forest to enter the final and then lose to Manchester United. The unruly Tony Dunn lowered his proud head in front of the old coach Ferguson, bowed his head and proclaimed himself, then announced his transfer to Manchester United in the summer, took over Ferguson's class, and led the Red Devils Manchester United to continue sweeping England and Europe... This is really his coaching career. It ends perfectly.

So after Manchester United advanced to the finals, he said: "I feel a pity. If I can choose my opponent, I would prefer to meet Tony Dunn in the final. Of course, the premise is that he cannot be in the stands..."

What he said caused dissatisfaction with the Bayern Munich club, and the Bundesliga giant thought he was insulted. Ferguson quickly came out and explained: "I am not targeting Bayern Munich. It is a great team. Of course I also think it is a great thing to meet them in the final. No matter what opponent I will take seriously... …I just hope that in the last game of my coaching career, I can choose my opponent freely.” To explain it, it sounds like I look down on Bayern Munich.

Some media said that Ferguson was old and confused, and his description became darker.

But maybe this is the psychological warfare used by the old fox Ferguson against the younger Klinsmann?

At least Dunn didn't get involved. He may be one of the people who understand Ferguson's mind-this must be a psychological warfare. It seems that the old man is bound to win the last Champions League championship in his coaching career.

His response was: "I may go back to watch the game, but this is not my concern. Right now I only care about the league. We will make a comeback next season."

In the end, Nottingham Forest achieved third place in the league and successfully qualified for the European Champions Cup next season. Arsenal, led by Wenger, successfully reversed Manchester United, who devoted more of their minds to the Champions League final, and ascended to the Premier League throne. The failure to achieve a double crown may be Ferguson's regret, and it is also a concentrated portrayal of his entanglement with Wenger for more than ten years.

In Schalke 04’s home game, he went to the Schalke Stadium. It has been announced that he will officially retire after the end of this season. The godfather of Manchester United, Alex Ferguson, led his Red Devils to a difficult victory with a score of 2:1. The Bundesliga king Bayern Munich had the last laugh in this strong showdown. He fulfilled his promise many years ago:

I will retire with another European Champions Cup.

In one of the best stadiums in Europe, he raised the trophy, which symbolized the highest honor of a European club. But the expression on his face doesn't look like a professional head coach anymore, more like an elderly person enjoying his old age. The passion has faded, but instead he has a sense of ease of unloading the burden. At this moment, he seemed to be ten years old, and even the Scottish country red on his face faded.

Tony Dunn saw this scene in the stands of the Ovschalke Stadium. He suddenly felt that Ferguson's moment was too far away from him. It was no longer the distance from the stands to the stadium, but across the European continent.

Like everyone else, he stood up and applauded Ferguson's curtain call, with a little joy and loneliness in his heart.

From now on, there is one less rival and one less good opponent...

Sir Ferguson, go all the way. (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!)
