Godfather Of Champions

When the Nottingham Forest team arrived in Liverpool, many reporters tracked down the hotel where they were staying, hoping to get some pre-match updates up close. At this point, the local media of the host Liverpool will naturally be close to the water.

They gathered outside the hotel, waiting to interview every Forest Team player who came out of it.

George Wood is clearly the most watched player. Recently, the media has been frantically speculating about his grievances and hatreds with Eastwood, revealing the days when he was still in the youth team who didn't understand anything. Many media believe that George Wood should be responsible for Eastwood’s retirement. They pretended to be very angry and scolded his teammates for retiring, but Eastwood did not even say anything. It really makes people doubt the atmosphere of Nottingham Forest. Is it really as harmonious as Dun En preached...

This time, many Liverpool reporters directly asked Wood about Eastwood's retirement. These Liverpool reporters are obviously planning to do this-they know what is the reason for George Wood's recent bad condition.

Since you have been injured here and the wound has not healed yet, then we don't mind stab your wound again and then sprinkle salt...

In fact, unscrupulous in order to win is not an exclusive patent of Dunn.

"Wood, it's said in the media that Eastwood's retirement is related to you, don't you plan to say something?"

"Hey, George. I heard that your relationship with Eastwood has been very bad. Is it because of that?"

"It said that you two are not friends. How do you get along?"

...

As long as he showed up, a group of reporters swarmed up and raised such questions.

At this moment Wood's face was sullen, and his frosty expression was pushed to the limit, without answering any questions.

No matter how the reporter harassed him, he just kept silent.

As a member of the coaching staff, Eastwood also came with the team, and the media also ran to ask him similar questions. The gypsy who is a player is very fond of the media, because he talks a lot and cooperates with the media's questions. But today's Eastwood is like George Wood leaning over, with a black face and nothing to say. Turn a deaf ear to reporters' questions.

enough.

Those who are deliberately making trouble have seen this scene enough. They don't really expect two people to stand in front of the microphone and talk when they ask questions. As long as they can capture the expressions of two people when facing the problem, it is enough for them to make a fuss.

Soon news stories about George Wood and Eastwood's discord appeared in the media. The expressions of Wood and Eastwood were placed together, even if there was no copywriting, it was already very clear.

After the rendering of these media, in the eyes of outsiders, Nottingham Forest seems to be in conflict to the point of disbanding at any time.

At the press conference the day before the game, Dunn pointed to the noses of the media and cursed: "I know what your intentions are. But it's a pity that all you did was useless."

And in order to counter the media's rumors, Dunn, who used to always release the starting list until the last minute, announced the starting lineup of the game one day in advance. George Wood's name is impressively listed.

He used this action to show his support for his captain.

He didn't know the outcome of Eastwood's talk to Wood, but he believed in Eastwood, and only he could do this. He also believes in George, he must be able to get out of it, and he can wait for a Wood who is similar to a robot. He is the guarantee of the team's victory, he is the lamp that will never go out, he is the tower of power.

"Coach Tony Dunn insisted on sending in George Wood, but Wood's performance in the last few games was really bad, and the team's performance was also affected. This is obviously because Eastwood retired and Carl Spike did this. Maybe it was right this time."

Before the game, when introducing the starting roster of both sides, the commentator analyzed for everyone.

"We all know that Tony Dunn is a very stubborn, self-centered person. He always insists on what others don't like. He has been right in the past, but will he be right this time? His opponent this time is Liverpool, which has recently won five consecutive victories in the league."

At the same time, Dunn is making the final mobilization for the team in the locker room.

"Liverpool's last five consecutive victories, they ranked second in the league. This is a difficult opponent to deal with. As for us, only one win in six league rounds." Dunn held his finger to the players. "They are ranked second in the league, and we are seventh. They are far behind. They are proud of their recent breeze, and we are not doing well...but what I want to say below has nothing to do with this."

He made a gesture, "No matter how good their results are, does it have anything to do with this match? Nothing at all. Each match is separate. Forty-nine unbeaten Arsenal still lost in the 50th match. The ball, so Liverpool won five rounds in a row and won’t necessarily be able to win six rounds. Gerrard is their key figure, George, your task in this game is to freeze Gerrard for me while taking into account the offense."

Wood didn't nod or shook his head, he didn't say anything. The others turned to look at him, seemingly worried.

After Dunn assigned Wood's task, he ignored him and turned to Gago.

"Fernando, your mission is not to defend or to attack."

Gago was stunned. He thought the boss would let himself assist Wood's defense. After all, Wood's recent state is very bad. Once Wood has a problem, the opponent's offense will directly face the defense. In the previous six games, this situation has not happened rarely.

Dunn saw his concern, but he didn’t explain anything. He just continued to assign tasks: “Use your good physical strengths and keep running. Don’t be afraid that the ball will be broken and give everything behind you to George. You just take offense. have you understood?"

"Uh...I understand, boss..." Gago replied hesitantly. Is this arrangement really okay?

This arrangement is really bold. If Wood was in a good state, it would be understandable to do so, but no one knows what Wood can behave now. How is this arrangement different from suicide?

Seeing Gago’s hesitation, Dunn added: "Offensive, offensive...You only need to have offense in your mind now, Fernando. Don’t think about anything, even if you make a mistake, it’s not your responsibility. ."

Gago nodded. "Okay, boss..."

In fact, he was still muttering...

I believe he must not be the only one whispering in my heart at this time.

After assigning other people’s tasks, Dunn clapped his hands: "Okay guys. Everyone knows what they should do, but this is not enough. To win the game, just knowing what you should do is far from good. . You have to trust your teammates. Football matches are a sport for eleven people. No one can do without them. Now in the locker room, I can tell you tactics and tell you what to do and not to go. But When the game is on the field, the situation is changing rapidly. Who can you count on? Anyway, it’s not me who is sitting below." Dunn spread his hands, "It is your teammates, partners. Look at their eyes, you are comrades in the same trench. , You can only choose to believe in each other. Do you understand what I mean? I know some people worry that George’s state will affect the team, but even so, you must also believe in him. Because you can only believe in him on the court."

This is a bit unreasonable, but it's Dunn's style. Everyone got used to it, so everyone nodded.

"Get out there."

The players got up and walked out. And George Wood dragged behind.

Dunn looked at him and smiled at him. He also looked at Dunn, and the two said nothing.

When Wood also left, Eastwood took the initiative to find Dunn, seeming to want to say something: "Boss, I..."

Dunn interrupted him: "Leave me a little suspense." He winked at Eastwood.

Eastwood understood Dunn's meaning, and he nodded and left.

"The players from both sides have played! George Wood is at the forefront of the team. He still wears the captain's armband. Tony Dunn trusted Wood like a paranoid, but Wood did not return his trust in the first few games. The performance was terrible. So in this important game, will Dunn’s trust be rewarded?"

In the press box, Busscomby was listening to the commentary on the TV overhead while typing today's manuscript on his laptop-he was already writing the post-match press release in advance.

"... It's great that Dunn chose to continue to trust Wood. We don't have to feel guilty for disturbing Dunn's anniversary-this is what he asked for..."

He raised his head and looked at the TV. A close-up of Wood's face appeared on the screen.

"Look at his dead fish face, as if the Forest team has lost the ball. Haha!" He pointed to the TV screen and smiled at the people around him.

Wood and Gerrard shook hands and stood beside the referee guessing the coin.

"This is a direct dialogue between the two best midfielders in English football today. This game will definitely be worth seeing. Of course, Wood has been in poor condition recently and Gerrard may take advantage of it."

When guessing the coin, Wood lost to Gerrard.

"Gerald will go to the next city first, ha!" Busscombe laughed when he saw this scene.

After Dunn appeared on the coach's bench, several media gathered around him and blocked him in his seat. The cameras and cameras kept shooting. He is the focus of the game. This is one day when he coached for ten years. In ten years, he has won eight championships, big and small. He is one of the most successful coaches in England and ranked in the top 20 in the "Coaching Hall of Fame" in the UK. Ranked among the top ten in the "Coaching Hall of Fame" in England. The most important thing is not these honors, but he is only forty-five years old. As a coach, he is still a "young marshal". People have reason to believe that his legend is far from the end of the story. when.

Dunn sat in his seat, calmly enjoying the treatment like the stars arched over the moon. This is the honor he deserves, and he doesn't need to be ashamed.

The only regret is that this is not at the City Stadium, otherwise he will still have the opportunity to accept the club's awards on the spot, and enjoy the scene where tens of thousands of fans chant his name and cheer for him. Maybe the Forest Club would have to wear a crown and a cloak ingeniously, and let him hold the scepter to receive the award.

When Dunn got up from the coach bench, the reporters also dispersed under the reminder of the security. The game started.

Liverpool took advantage of the home game to launch a strong attack on the hinterland of the Forest team from the beginning. They really don't plan to give Tony Dunn the chance to win the anniversary at Anfield. Since George Wood is not doing well recently, use him here to open the Forest goal.

"Stephen Gerrard! A beautiful long shot!"

Akinfeev struggled to lift the heavy long shot out of the crossbar. After getting up from the ground, he called out loudly for his teammates to pay attention to the defense in the middle. Although he didn't name him, everyone knew that George Wood was in charge of the area where Gerrard started.

Gago couldn't stand it a bit, although the boss told him to ignore the defense and focus on attacking. But Gerrard nearly scored with this long shot. How to attack if a goal is conceded?

He decided to help Wood before entering the state.

Liverpool’s corner kick was not directly suspended, but passed outside, and Gerrard volleyed again. Although it was missed, it also showed that he was very excited about the game. The excited Gerrard is definitely a dangerous man, Nottingham Forest has to be careful.

"Beware of Gerrard!" Chris Lak couldn't sit still off the court, and he ran to the sidelines to loudly remind the players on the court. "Don't give him so many long-range shots!"

Liverpool made a comeback again. Gago hesitated, but the sense of responsibility he had cultivated in Real Madrid made him rush to the middle and prepare to defend Gerrard.

"If the action is bigger, the Premier League is not La Liga, and you can foul if necessary..." He muttered in his mouth, facing Gerrard.

But someone is faster than him.

George Wood slashed out and rushed towards Gerrard. The two slammed into each other sturdily. Gerrard was bumped and the football was lost. Wood was about to get the ball, but heard the referee's whistle.

"foul!"

There was a huge boo for Wood from the stands at Anfield Stadium.

Wood seemed to ignore it as if he hadn't heard it. He turned around and made a downward gesture to Gago: "Here I am." He pointed to the front again, "You go up."

Seeing Wood's expression, Gago nodded. From the first day he came to the Forest, the boss told him to trust George and the captain during the game. He obediently followed, and he had a great time in both seasons. You can't go wrong this time...

He just thought of this when he heard a familiar voice shouting his name: "Gago! Gago!"

He turned around and found that it was the boss.

"What are you doing? Did you forget what I said before?" Dun En shouted at him, waving his arms vigorously. "Your position is in the front, go up! Get some up for me!"

Gago gave Dunn a thumbs up, indicating that he knew it.

"Don't get behind George, or who should he pass the ball to?"

"I see! Boss!" Gago had to answer loudly, otherwise he was afraid that the Boss kept saying that.

※※※

Nottingham Forest ranked 451 instead of 442 in this game. The positions of Gago and George Wood are not on the same line. Wood's position is slightly behind, while Gago is in front of the test, staggered back and forth. It is not a diamond midfielder, nor a saucer midfielder, nor a parallel midfielder.

This formation has clearly stated the division of the Forest team's midfield-Gago will attack and Wood will defend.

Benitez saw this. He didn't know why Dunn dared to make such a lineup in the away game, but he was convinced that this was an opportunity that he could use.

It seems that his decision to attack the middle lane is correct, unexpectedly, as long as the pressure continues, the forest team's defense line must collapse!
