Godfather Of Champions

Anelka's goal made both coaches smash their fists from the sidelines. But Nottingham Forest's head coach Tony Dunn was excited, and Villarreal coach Pellegrini was angry.

With fifteen minutes left in the game, Nottingham Forest led by two goals at home, and the game was basically declared to be won.

Just after Villarreal adjusted his tactics and prepared to defend, he scored a goal, which was a heavy blow to their morale. Now even if they want to get a goal back, I am afraid they will not have that chance.

Another person who is angry about losing the ball is Riquelme. Although he rarely shows his expression directly on his face, anyone can see that unwillingness from his dumb face now.

If the head coach insists on attacking, perhaps they would have equalized the game long before the Forest team scored the second goal, and the situation on the court would be different by then.

It's alright now. I gave up the offense and the right to win. This retribution came really quickly.

The game has ended early.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the score displayed on the electronic scoreboard made Forest team fans cheered. 2: 0! A brilliant home victory.

This is the city's first Champions League victory after 24 years, laying a solid foundation for the Forest team to enter the Champions League.

Pellegrini believed in the press conference after the game that the Forest team performed better than his own team and they won for granted.

The Chilean left the team in a hurry, while the Forest team stayed to accept the cheers of all the fans in the square outside the stadium. 27,000 people gathered from the city stadium to the outside. They blocked the forest team's bus and sang the forest team's anthem over and over again.

The world is in our hands, the world is in our hands...

Looking at the red everywhere outside the car, it felt as if the Forest team had already won the Champions League. But this is just a qualifier victory...

The Nottingham Foresters have longed for the Champions League for too long. In many people's minds, they may have forgotten that the team they supported was once a strong team that participated in the Champions Cup, and was once a strong team that won the Cup twice in a row. Now Dunn let them feel it again, or for the first time to feel such happiness.

They don’t have to watch other teams’ Champions League performances in front of the TV. They can look forward to their own team’s Champions League, they can talk about their team’s performance in the Champions Cup game that just ended, and they can go to the scene and watch the city stadium Cheer for your team in the Champions League game.

Think further, they can follow their team's footsteps, set foot on the European continent, and go to the stadiums of those giant teams to show off.

Farther... Maybe we can set foot on the UEFA Champions League final again?

Who said it was impossible? When Nottingham Forest had just been promoted from the second division to the first division, who would have thought that Brian Clough could lead the forest to the UEFA Champions League a year later and defend the Champions League two years later?

People do everything. Just two years ago, when the Forest team was struggling in the bottom fourth of the English Champions League, who would have thought that they could win the UEFA Champions League qualifier at home to Villarreal today?

David Chris Luck was like a child, lying on the car window, looking at the red ocean outside, with a happy smile on his face. It was the first time he saw this since he entered the Nottingham Forest Club. scene.

"Not bad, right? There will be scenes like this in the future." Tang En, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile.

The next day Nottingham’s media was occupied by yesterday’s game. Newspapers, TV stations, radio, streets and alleys...they were all talking about that game.

Niklas Bendtner, who scored a goal, soared in popularity, and even Anelka was supported and accepted by the fans. Nothing can please fans more than scoring a goal in a game that fans consider the most important.

Of course, the fans are still discussing this game enthusiastically, but after winning such a wonderful game, the players of the Forest team did not get even half a day's rest. Not because the head coach Tony Dunn is ruthless, but because the curtain of the new Premier League season has been slowly opened.

The Premier League has the earliest start time, the latest end time, and the most intensive schedule of the five major European leagues. There is no winter break. In Dunn’s words, it means "destroyed humanity and cruelty. It is a double torture to players' bodies and minds." People have a family reunion on Christmas or a holiday. The Premier League players still have to play double and three games a week like rushing to the field. In the cold winter, the chance of injury is greatly increased."

On August 10th, Nottingham Forest won the first round of the UEFA Champions League qualifier against Villarreal, giving the 05-06 season a good start, from the top of the club to the players. , Ordinary fans can welcome the first round of the Premier League three days later with a relaxed and happy mood.

On August 13th, the English Premier League of the 05-06 season kicked off. Chelsea, the league champion last season, challenged the newly promoted Sunderland. Nottingham Forest will usher in another newly promoted horse at home, which was previously named the "No. 2 Nottingham Forest" Wigan Athletic by the media.

This nickname was given by the media when Wigan Athletic was in the English Champions League. Because the style and some characteristics of this team are very similar to the Forest team, for example, they pay attention to full-court press, two fast assaults from the wing, never admit defeat, and the unpretentious style of the blue-collar workers. All let people vaguely see Nottingham Forest, which successfully surpassed in half a season in the English Champions League.

After Dunn knew this, he felt a little dumbfounded. He certainly knows how impressive Wigan Athletic was in the first Premier League season. If the media knew the future, they would definitely be complacent about the nickname they gave in advance. In fact, Wigan Athletic's first Premier League season was as eye-catching as the Forest team last season, but their final ranking was not so high.

From this perspective, it is true that it is called "Nottingham Forest Second".

What Dunn felt dumbfounded was that he turned out to be a role model for others.

When interviewed before the game, Wigan Athletic performed very low-key. Their head coach Paul Jewell admitted frankly that his team could be promoted to the Premier League. He learned a lot from Tony Dunn. En's forest team gave him a lot of inspiration.

This is a further confirmation of the title of "Nottingham Forest No. 2".

In the end Jewell said: "...Of course we all remember the outstanding performance of the newly promoted Nottingham Forest in the Premier League last season. They are impressive. I think Coach Tony Dunn is the best coach in England... No, I’m not touting... Wigan Athletic’s goal this season is to relegation, but I hope the team can be called “No. 2 in Nottingham Forest” at the end of the league, but this time it’s not because of playing style, but It's grades."

Hearing these words, Dunn felt quite mysterious. The one who traversed me turned out to be a role model for the coach who actually exists in this world.

So he wanted to laugh very much. This kind of laughter was not proud but absurd. But he couldn't laugh, because the matter itself was not happy.

The era of Sky Radio’s monopoly on Premier League broadcasting is coming to an end. Europe has recently forced Sky TV to allocate part of their monopoly Premier League broadcasting rights to the BBC public television channel and other TV stations. This season’s Premier League will be used as a trial period for the purchase of new broadcasting rights. BBC and Independent TV stations have obtained the rights to broadcast part of the Premier League games.

Although this will cause most small clubs to suffer financial losses, for the fans of the Forest team, what makes them happy is that the commentator John Mortensen who has always supported the Forest team is back.

Nottingham Forest's home game against Wigan Athletic was the first Premier League game broadcast on BBC TV. Naturally, it was also reviewed by their ace commentators John Mortensen and Alan Hansen.

However, Twenty minutes into the game, Mortensen did not say a few words to the long-lost Forest team.

"Now, I really want to replay what coach Paul Jewell said in an interview before the game." Mortensen's style is that he is not stingy when he praises, and his tone is sour when criticizing. The harshness is unbearable. "Forest fans must have begun to doubt now. What was Jewell's motivation for saying that? I think it is more likely to confuse the Forest. Is Coach Tony Dunn angry at this time?"

Alan Hansen next to him interrupted and asked: "Why is he angry?"

"Because he was fooled!" Mortensen laughed. He knows Dunn, so he said that. Dunn must have a feeling of being deceived. With Dunn's character, it is impossible not to be angry.

At this moment, Tony Dunn sitting on the coach's bench is indeed very angry, but more of the reason is not because of Jewell's remarks, but because of his team's poor performance.

This contrast is too big!

Three days ago, in the same stadium, the Forest team neatly won Villarreal, and the scene after the victory of the game is still in the memory of the Forest team players and fans.

And three days later, this game. The Forest team now has no way of facing Wigan Athletic's iron bucket and quick counterattack.

Seeing the mess on the court, Dunn had to shake his head after a while.
