Godfather Of Champions

After talking with Wood, Dunn also made the final decision. He believes it is now necessary for the players to understand what kind of European Cup they will face.

The England team began their new day of training, and the media were invited out of the training ground 15 minutes after they were allowed to shoot.

The morning in Spain is sunny, the temperature is not too high, and the gentle breeze brings the night cool. The players have just warmed up and are forming a circle to listen to the coach's speech.

"Before training, I have something to tell everyone."

Dunn stood among the players, while Wood was with his teammates.

"That's it. Everyone knows that George's right toe was injured, and he has always been in doubt about whether he can catch up with the European Cup. The media are paying attention to this matter. I believe you are also paying attention, right?" Dun En laughed Asked.

This made a lot of nervous players breathe a sigh of relief-the boss can laugh, it shows that George's injury must not be a big problem.

"Now what I want to tell everyone is... he can participate in the European Cup... Don't worry," Dunn interrupted some people's cheers with a gesture. "However, he may not be able to participate in the European Cup."

Seeing the confused expressions of the players, Dunn decided to solve the mystery.

"George's injury has not fully recovered. The doctor said that if he wants to play, he must at least wait until the knockout stage. In other words, he will not be able to participate in all three group matches."

There was a commotion among the players. Many people turned their heads to look at Wood, but Wood stood calmly among them, accepting their surprised eyes.

"The problem is very simple now." Dunn raised his voice amid the commotion to ensure that everyone could hear him. "If we want George to participate in the game, we have to qualify from this group. Do you think?"

"Yes!"

"Yes, boss."

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed.

"I am not willing to give up any of you, whether it is George or the others. If any of you encounters the situation that George encountered today, I will make the same decision-I decided to keep George on the team Even if he may have to miss the first three games. I know that doing so will increase the burden on everyone, but I also hope that through this matter, we can make everyone understand that we are a whole and not simply composed of 23 people. A team from. We are'one', not'twenty-three'."

Dunn stretched out his hand and compared "one" and "twenty-three."

No one expressed objection to Dunn's decision, and even the players of Nottingham Forest were greatly relieved.

"That's all, George will be waiting for us in the knockouts, don't let him watch the jokes." He winked at everyone.

The players laughed, and they looked at Wood. Wood was a little embarrassed...

"Well, guys, start training! The European Cup is imminent, don't be lazy!" Des Walker stepped forward and took over Dunn's work.

Although Dunn has always emphasized that George Wood will follow the team in the European Cup, there are still some people who are skeptical that Dunn is just stabilizing the military. It will be June 8th, the day before the European Cup. Wood still can't recover from his foot injury, so he has no choice but to replace.

Unexpectedly, two days before June 8th, the England team held a press conference. At the meeting, Dunn took Wood to meet with the media.

"The theme of this press conference is only one--" Dunn looked around the scene. Almost all the reporters who wandered around the training camp these days came, including not only British reporters, but also German reporters, Portuguese reporters and others from all over the world. The reporters from, they all care about how George Wood is recovering from injury.

After letting the players know the truth, Dunn can face the media calmly. He only needs to be responsible to the players, and the media is for entertainment.

"Inform everyone about the recovery from George Wood's foot injury."

Dunn’s words surprised many media outlets. They followed England’s **** like a fly for so many days, and wanted to find out some inside information about Wood’s injury. Dunn would always cover up. When will he sit in front of everyone and talk about this issue so frankly?

Dunn looked at Wood next to him, winked at him, and motioned to him to speak.

Wood didn't seem to see it, and he didn't react until Dunn coughed a few more times.

"Um... I decided to stay and participate in the European Cup."

Wood's words are simple.

The reporters were taken aback, and then realized that he had just announced an important thing!

The scene was boiling, and countless reporters wanted to stand up and ask questions. They held their arms high, hoping that the press officer could hit them.

Dunn waved his hand: "It's not time for the media to ask questions, ladies and gentlemen. Let us finish talking first."

He motioned for the scene to be quiet, and the reporters who were always dissatisfied with Dunn really obediently put down their hands and closed their mouths, waiting for Dunn to speak.

"I must first explain to everyone that George Wood's injury has not fully recovered."

This remark caused an uproar again. If you haven't recovered, you still have to take him to play in the European Cup. What do you think, Mr. Tony Dunn?

"But if all goes well, George should be able to come back in the knockout stage." Dunn quickly announced the answer. "He will be absent from all three games of the group stage. That's it, what questions can I ask?"

Immediately a reporter stood up and pointed the finger at Dunn: "You kept saying that Wood's injury could catch up with the European Cup a few days ago, but now he will be absent from all group matches. Did you consciously lie before?"

Dunn opened his hands and looked innocent: "Lying? I said he could catch up with the European Cup. In fact, he did. Mr. Reporter, you can't make the knockouts a part of the European Cup, right?"

The face of the reporter who asked this was blue and red. Obviously he was eager to ask questions, forgetting the basic logic. Dunn caught the loophole inside.

The second person to ask questions was a German reporter. He spoke to Dunn in a very unskilled English: "Excuse me, Mr. Dunn, George Wood has missed all three group matches. How sure is your team from Qualified in this group?" As a German, he is proud. At the same time, he heard that Wood will be absent from all three group games, and he can't hide his joy.

In fact, Dunn understood his poor English after only listening to it once, but seeing the other's arrogant expression, Dunn decided to tease him, so he put his hand next to his ear: "I'm sorry, sir, please say it again. ?"

So the bald German had to stammer in his "German English" again.

Dunn still didn't understand, "Sorry sir..."

The German used a very slow and slow speech rate this time to repeat his question again.

Dunn raised his hand to his ear for the third time. The German's face immediately changed, and an expression of collapse appeared on his face.

Dunn also knew that enough was enough, so he smiled: "Just kidding, Mr. Germany. I already understand your question. For us, getting out of the group is not too big a problem, of course we will deal with the group seriously. Every opponent, you are guaranteed to have no chance."

His words made English reporters laugh knowingly.

"England is not a single individual team, no one's absence will not affect our ultimate goal. The qualifying group is only the first step. Even if Wood is missing due to injury, we have enough ability to enter the knockout round. But..." Dunn Looking at the foreign reporters with a weird smile, "I welcome everyone to think that England is a second-rate team without George Wood, and it is a problem to qualify in the group. Really, if you think that I will not be angry at all, nor Will refute you."

Of course he will not refute it, because the opponent underestimates the enemy is what he would like to see most.

In fact, George Wood's absence does have a great impact on England's strength. After all, he is the core of the team. I have never heard that the absence of the core will not affect the team. However, if Dunn tried to cover it up, it would only make his opponents more certain that England is actually very weak today.

So Dunn played an "empty city strategy" at the press conference. He opened four city gates, and then went up to the tower to play the piano alone with a little book boy. His unrestrained appearance made many foreign journalists who wanted to explore the truth and fiction feel baffled.

What's more, in Dun En's style of work, when he said "one", he often did "two". When he said "no", it actually meant "yes". So he generously admitted that his England could not do without Wood, which shows that he is lying. Hasn't England been training for "nuclear tactics" for more than a month? Maybe England hasn't relied on George Wood for a long time, and Dunn's insistence on carrying him is just a blindfold. His real purpose is to hope that everyone will pay attention to George Wood, the "former core" of England, and then his "nuclear-free" England will kill all quarters, slashing opponents all the way to the end. top……

This idea hovered in the minds of reporters, getting closer and closer to the truth.

Dunn snickered in his heart as he watched the reporters gather together for a quiet discussion.

He waited for a while, and saw that everyone became more enthusiastic about the discussion, so he coughed: "If there are no other questions, today's press conference is over..."

As soon as he got up to leave, reporters stood up and raised their hands to speak.

"Mr. Dunn! Can I talk about the first game against Portugal?"

"Mr. Dunn, what if George Wood can't come back in the knockout stage?"

"Tony, who are you going to replace George Wood with?"

"George, do you have anything to say about not being able to participate in the group stage?"

Dunn waved his hand: "You are too noisy, all quiet down!"

After the scene slowly got under control, he continued: "First of all, I will not answer any questions about the replacement of George Wood and the tactics. Second, we will deal with Portugal seriously. Third, I don't want anyone Use when George Wood will be on the court to disturb my team."

His first answer made the reporters more certain that even without George Wood, England had a way to win. For journalists in Germany, Portugal and Wales, this is enough. They inquired the most important information.

The other reporters were still arguing, Dunn no longer paid attention to them, and turned away with Wood.

George Wood is able to participate in the European Cup, and the news that George Wood will miss all three group matches is shocking.

If England are assigned to a weak group, then this news can make many England fans feel relieved. It is not difficult for England to qualify for the group in such an environment. But now they are in the dead group. The group has two strong opponents, Germany and Portugal, and only Wales may take that point. This is very worrying.

What if... what if the England team can't qualify? You must know that the last group match was played against the German team. If you are lucky in the first two games and qualify for two consecutive victories, it doesn't matter what you play against the German team.

But is Portugal such a good team to deal with?

Miguel Veloso, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Pepe... these are all famous stars, and the Portuguese national team composed of them is not a soft persimmon that can be squeezed casually.

The first game with them is still six days away, and the England team without George Wood is really uneasy.

Of course, some people think that today's England team can't play without George Wood. In other words, it is also a top-ranking European team. Are other stars out of the ordinary?

What has Dunn been doing for more than a month? Isn't it preparing for England without Wood? As the most successful head coach in continental Europe, he must have countless alternatives, right? So whether it is Portugal or Germany, they are not England's opponents. Even without George Wood, we still have Tony Dunn!

The two ideas collided among the English fans, and no one could convince anyone.

The debate about England's prospects in this European Cup will continue before the game.

※※※

After the showdown to the public, Dunn let out a sigh of relief, and he and his team can finally prepare for the battle without interference. He doesn't have to think about how to deal with reporters who are like moths to the fire, about whether George Wood can participate in the European Cup. After he held a press conference, the reporters from the three countries who usually wander around the training camp are also much less. For them, the most valuable news has already arrived, and there is no need to continue wasting time here.

George Wood is doing recovery training alone every day. He works hard, but the team doctor does not allow him to exercise too much for fear that he will suffer another injury before he recovers. The most painful thing for George Wood now is to watch his teammates train together, and he can only recover from the corner by himself.

He found that he had never been so eager to play like this time. As long as he sees the football rolling in front of his eyes, his feet will shake involuntarily, as if resonating with the football.

The experience of his first injury was so unforgettable that he would never want to experience it again.

Lurking himself in the water, he looked up at the blue water above.

The swimming pool that allowed him to recover seemed to be a prison, confining his body, and every movement was extremely heavy.

As long as he breaks the shackles of the water, he can be reborn...

No matter what opponent he is, he will release ten times the energy that has been suffocated for so long!

The team doctor in charge of Wood suddenly discovered that George Wood had dived into the pool for several minutes.

He was taken aback by his discovery. He threw down the book in his hand and kicked his seat over. He almost ran to the pool and yelled in horror: "George!! Come out." George! Don't scare me..."

With a sound of "crash", George Wood, who was wet all over, slammed out of the water and appeared in front of the team doctor, his piercing eyes staring at him.

The team doctor was so scared that he sat down by the pool, watching Wood gasping for breath: "You scared me to death, George! What happened to you?"

"Sleep down for a while."

Wood's answer made the team doctor's heartbeat speed up again. "Sleep... Sleep? You mean you fell asleep underwater?"

Wood pressed his hands on the edge of the pool and pushed it out: "It seems to be." He shook his head, and all the water droplets on his hair spilled on the team doctor.

The team doctor just grinned. This monster!

Wood took up the towel and wiped the water off his body, recalling the feeling he had just felt under the pool.

He seemed to be asleep in the dim, but his consciousness was very clear. There was a voice in his mind repeatedly saying to him:

I want to play, I want to play, I want to play! No one can stop me, even injuries!

I will be back, and I will prove it to you! (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!)
