On this day of December 12, 2003, Tony Dunn, one of the greatest coaches in Nottingham Forest history, returned to his best position after being silent for half a year and appeared on the coach bench of the City Stadium. When he returned, no one talked about his hapless predecessor, Coreymore, as if the location of the City Stadium was reserved for Tony Dunn.

It was an ordinary English Premier League (there was no English Champions League at the time, so the first division was a second-tier league). Nottingham Forest ranked one place lower than them at home after losing six games in a row, but it was aggressive. Eat their Crystal Palace. Nottingham Forest first fell behind and then reversed, ending an embarrassing six-game losing streak.

Since that game, he never left this post. Tony Dunn has always been the head coach of Nottingham Forest, and this team has been marked by his arrogance. Even in the six months he has been training because of a heart attack, the team has never lacked his influence. He led his forest team to sweep Europe, winning two European Cups and two Premier League titles.

So far, Nottingham Forest, one of the earliest professional football clubs in the world, has two most glorious eras in history. The first glorious era was after Brian Clough came to Nottingham Forest. Under the leadership of the most individual coach in English football, the previously unknown Nottingham Forest soared to the sky and won an English top league championship. , Two European Champions Cups, one European Super Cup, and also set an unbeaten record of 42 undefeated England top league games. This record was not until 26 years later that Wenger’s Arsenal scored 49 games. Surpassed the new record.

The second glorious era will undoubtedly begin on December 12, 2003. Tony Dunn, the previously unknown soldier, led the Forest team to a red whirlwind at the City Stadium. So far, they have won two Premier League titles, two European Champions Cup titles, two European Super Cup titles, and a World Club Cup. Champions, two English Community Shield Cup champions, and an English League Cup. But in terms of the number of titles, he has surpassed his predecessor Brian Clough. And Clough is dead, Tony Dunn is only forty-five years old, and he is still young as a coach. There is still a long, long way under his feet. People believe that under his leadership, the Forest Team can continue to be brilliant and create the most brilliant Forest dynasty in history. It is just around the corner.

Ten years have passed since this moment.

As the only head coach in club history who can be compared with Brian Clough, his tenth anniversary of coaching must be celebrated. The club has decided to issue a commemorative trophy to Dunn. Unfortunately, on this day of December 12, the Forest team's game is not at home, so this trophy cannot be given out in front of tens of thousands of spectators before the game.

On December 12, 2013, in the seventeenth round of the English Premier League, Nottingham Forest challenged Liverpool away.

This is a game for ten years after Dunn officially coached the Forest first team. Although he became the acting head coach of the Forest team as early as January 1, 2003, he was "acting" and he was dismissed by Evan Daggerty in the middle, which is not counted. Go inside a formal coaching career. Even Dunn was unwilling to divide the failed half of the season into his own ten years, although that half of the season occupies a very important position in his life and left countless precious memories.

Local media such as the "Nottingham Evening Post" have dedicated special issues to review Tony Dunn's special projects over the past decade. For Nottingham people, there have been so many things worth remembering in the past decade. They seemed to have had a wonderful and long dream. Ten years ago, if someone said to them: "Your team can definitely be back to the top", they would think that someone came to deliberately mock them. But now those honors are quietly placed in the club's honor room, telling them that this is not a dream, it is reality.

All this thanks to the forty-five year old man. As a coach, he is only forty-five years old and very young. The honor he has won has made many coaches older than him jealous. But as a man, forty-five is already middle-aged. I hope he can continue to do it in the future, the longer the better, this is the biggest wish of all forests to the fans.

Some publishers have found Dunn, hoping to publish his autobiography in a day worth a few years. Dunn’s writing style is pretty good. He often writes columns in newspapers, but writing a book is too time-consuming for him. The head coach of a Premier League club is already busy enough, how can there be time to write a book? So he handed it over to the reporter Pierce Bruce who knew him best. It was said that he dictated and Bruce took notes. In fact, he could not do anything. It was Bruce who used the information he recorded over the past ten years to compose the book. The only thing that is considered original by Dun En may be the name of the book.

"ten years".

Hmm... Strictly speaking, even the title of the book is not his original. When the publisher asked him to think about the title, the title of Eason Chan's song popped up in his mind. He thought it was a kind of fate, so he used it.

At first, the publisher felt that the name was very modest and too low-key. It is completely unworthy of Tony Dunn's "madman status". I want Dunn to change to another one, such as "Forest King", "Lion King's Heart", "Champion Godfather", "We are Champions"... This kind of straightforward and popular name will know what it is written.

But Tang En all refused.

"Since I am a madman, I can't even hold on to the title of my own, so what kind of madman?" He said that the publisher was speechless. Sure enough...

"Tony, I thought about it. Or should I hold a press conference in Nottingham the day before the game and give you the trophy?" Three days before the game, club chairman Evan Dogatti found Dunn.

"Why?" Dunn felt strange, because the original plan was to be awarded after the game.

"Uh, I am worried that if you lose that game, you will not be in the mood to accept the award in front of the media..."

Dunn laughed.

"Don't laugh, Tony. We always have to prepare with both hands?"

Dunn continued to laugh: "Ha! If you send me the crystal cup before the game, what are the two-handed preparations? Before some important games, the media have plan A and plan B, but they will not Announce the team's failure before the start of the game. Don't worry." Dunn patted Evan on the shoulder, "The situation you are worried about will not happen, because we will not lose at all. I don't want to lose the ball to lead this. prize."

"Liverpool is hard to play at home..."

"We didn't defeat them at Anfield. Could it be that because this is my tenth anniversary, they suddenly became the most difficult fortress in the world?"

"But the recent performance of our team... and George Wood's state..."

Dunn shook his head to interrupt his questioning: "No problem. Both the team and him are fine."

Evan had any questions, but he told Dunn to push it out. "You believe me, Evan. It's my tenth anniversary. How could I allow someone to make trouble? Friends come and have wine, jackals come only with shotguns."

"Anfield is the most demonic home on the planet!" Chris Busscombe, a senior reporter of the "Liverpool Echo", predicted the game two days later in his column. "Our relationship with Nottingham Forest is not very good. We have no reason to let Tony Dunn enjoy his anniversary dinner at Anfield."

This guy once listed the top ten wishes of the 2009-2010 season in his column. One of them is "I hope Tony Dunn will bid farewell to the Forest team's handsome position due to a heart attack." In addition, he also hopes Abramovich Bankruptcy, Chelsea had no choice but to sell Lampard to Barcelona and Terry to Liverpool, so that "the Premier League can start a fair and reasonable competition."

It can be seen that he is a firm KOP, and he doesn't like Chelsea and Tony Dunn.

In fact, there is no need for him to add fuel to the fire in the column. Few Liverpool fans will have a good impression of Nottingham Forest and Tony Dunn.

Liverpool had only been able to participate in the UEFA Cup for several consecutive years and became a laughing stock among European powers. This is all thanks to Tony Dunn and his Nottingham Forest. Go back a bit further. Question: The Liverpool giant, who once dominated Europe, was defeated by the same opponent within one year. The league, the League Cup and the Champions Cup were out of three games. Who gave it to him?

Answer: Brian Clough and his Nottingham Forest.

With this relationship, although both sides are the "red camp" in English football, every time they compete, they seem to be playing derby. Liverpool hopes to use the victory in the league to prove that they are not weaker than Nottingham Forest, why they can play the Champions League, they can only participate in the UEFA Cup. And Nottingham Forest has always adhered to the principle of eye for eye and tooth for tooth. Since you see me upset, I naturally don't have to be polite with you.

In addition, the debate about who is the best midfielder in England between Gerrard and George Wood has never stopped among the supporters of the two teams. In the past, Chelsea fans also mixed in to support Lampard. Later, as Frank Lampard got older and lost his status as the main player in the national team, Chelsea fans happily withdrew from the team.

Liverpool supporters believe that Gerrard is more comprehensive, flawless, and has no shortcomings. Whether in England or Liverpool, he is a well-deserved core player, and of course the best in England. Although George Wood is slightly better defensively than Gerrard, his offense is too far behind. Compared with Gerrard, his scoring ability is simply a difference. There is no way to compare with Gerrard. In England, George Wood is more of an assistant to Gerrard.

Supporters of Nottingham Forest believe that Wood's midfield defense is unparalleled, and he has made rapid progress in offense. He is younger and has a lot of room for improvement. On the contrary, Gerrard has been finalized, coupled with Liverpool in the league is always crushed by Nottingham Forest, the team's performance is not very satisfactory, Gerrard's achievements have basically been finalized. On the contrary, Nottingham Forest won the championship under the leadership of Tony Dunn, and George Wood is constantly refreshing his honor roll. He will definitely be able to obtain more honors and achievements in the future. He can definitely reach a Jera The peak that De never reached.

Anyway, the fans, experts, and reporters who support their respective teams hold their own opinions, and often start such disputes. But this kind of dispute did not affect the relationship between Gerrard and Wood, and there is no negative impact caused by this kind of dispute in the national team. The "double virtue" combination of Gerrard and Wood is obviously better than the previous "double virtue" combination of him and Lampard. Wood is a midfielder that can be matched with anyone. He can attack or defend. He can be the core and support. This is what Capello likes most about Wood. So although when he and Gerrard play at the same time, he must be supporting Gerrard, but who can rotate in the national team, but Wood can't. Gerrard sometimes needs to let someone else partner with Wood, but he has never heard of the media hype "Who is partnering with Gerrard".

Wood is not a person who likes to argue for "who is the first brother in English football". Gerrard obviously does not need to fight for the first place. His status in the arena has long been established.

Such controversy is nothing more than an excuse for the fans to talk about after dinner and the media to hype the two teams.

"Nottingham Forest has been in poor condition recently. There seems to be something wrong with their core captain George Wood. I make no secret of how happy I am to see this scene. I just hope that the opponents have their own problems." In his column, he continued, “The schedule is really bad for Tony Dunn. His tenth anniversary will be held at the Devil’s Stadium. If it is at the City Stadium, he might be able to accept the club’s awards before the game. . That must be a very beautiful thing, but now Coach Dunn can only dream about it in his heart."

"To disturb the anniversary of this arrogant man, that is what I look forward to the most from watching this game. I made no secret of my dislike for Nottingham Forest and love for Liverpool. Everyone who knew Liverpool well in the late 1970s, The historical KOPs in the early 1980s should agree with me. New hatred and old hatred, on the night of Anfield on December 12, we will count together!"
