Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 930: Volume Seven Heart of the Lion King Fina

Gareth Bale played all the qualifiers with the belief that he must go to Spain. In the last two rounds, Wales withstood the pressure of chasing troops behind him and won the direct promotion to the European Cup finals as second in the group. qualifications.

This result set off a huge response in Wales, they finally broke into the European Cup finals again after 1976. Their result in the European Cup was the quarter-finals. The Welsh media hoped that under the leadership of Bell and Ramsey, the team could at least tie the best result in history.

On the evening of the qualifying day, Bell called Dunn. The other end of the phone was very noisy, but Dunn could still hear Bell's hoarse roar: "Boss! We're going to Spain! We're going to Spain!"

There seemed to be someone yelling: "Spain! Spain!!"

Dunn knew that they were celebrating this rare victory, so he didn't bother much. Besides, with Bell's current situation, he might not be able to hear what he said. Congratulations on hanging up the phone.

Although Wales can enter the European Cup finals this time, it is also due to the expansion of the European Cup, from 16 teams to 24 teams. Nevertheless, the Welsh people also have reason to party.

Unlike the nationwide carnival in Wales, England is relatively calm about being able to qualify. After all, they are regular visitors to the European Cup. If they can't go to Spain, they should be on the front page of the media. Dunn's ability to lead the team to qualify two rounds ahead of schedule was only regarded as completing the first task.

The next European Cup finals is the real test.

At the end of November, the six teams with the best results played two rounds of home and away play-offs between the third place, and the final three teams were determined.

Then in Nyon, Switzerland, the head coaches of 24 teams gathered together to participate in the lottery grouping ceremony organized by UEFA.

Dunn participated more in the lottery ceremony. Even the lottery ceremony of the national team was no different. At most, he met a few coaches who coached in the national team. And he himself is still the focus of attention by the media.

In the first two days of the draw, a European Cup grouping list that was said to be leaked from within UEFA appeared on the Internet. Regardless of whether this list is true or not, it quickly attracted the attention of the media, and the news on the Internet immediately became the voice of the mainstream media.

The reporters who came to interview also asked Dunn with this question, because in this list, England's grouping situation is not good-they are divided into a strong team.

The grouping of the European Cup finals must first determine the seeded teams. Divide the total points of all participating teams according to their last World Cup qualifiers, previous and current European Cup qualifiers by the number of games played, and divide into four ABCDs. Grade. The host and the defending champion can directly qualify for the seeded team, and the remaining seeded teams are generated from the first-tier teams.

In this grouping list that was rumored to be an "internally leaked version", England was assigned to Group D as a seeded team, with Sweden, Germany and Denmark in the same group.

Germany as a second-tier team is not surprising, because they did not perform well in the last European Cup qualifiers co-organized by Poland and Ukraine, and they were able to advance to the finals through the playoffs at the last minute. However, there are few traditional strong teams in Europe in the second grade. They were able to meet England, which is really England's "luck".

The reporters would love to hear what Dunn thinks of this leaked version of the grouping list. Before they interviewed the German head coach Sammer, who thought this list was fabricated by the reporters and would not comment. Then they went to interview the Swedish coach Roland Anderson, and Anderson's answer was exactly the same as that of Summer.

But this is also common sense.

The group draw is very important. Now a "leaked version" has been circulating before the draw ceremony. Which head coach dares to comment at will? They don't even know whether it is true or not, so how can they comment on this list?

But the reporters knew who Tony Dunn was. His big mouth had been silent for more than a year, and it was time to shine.

Dunn did not disappoint them either.

He didn't seem to doubt the authenticity of this list, and then commented on his "team opponents" in a literal manner.

"Germany is a strong team. I know the feud between England and Germany... England and Sweden have nothing to brag about. We need to deal with it carefully...Denmark is a very tough team. I played with them in the qualifiers. Having played against each other, I didn’t expect to meet again this time. They are a difficult team to deal with. Just look at the results we played against them in the qualifiers. One win and one draw. Be careful..."

A reporter finally couldn't help it. He asked bluntly: "Mr. Tang En, don't you plan to comment on this list itself?"

Dunn pretended to be surprised: "Is there anything wrong with this list?"

"It is said that this is a leaked version..."

Dunn’s laughter interrupted the reporter’s words: "Whether it’s the European Champions Cup or the European Cup, which one did not report this'leaked version' before the game? And we will always find out after the draw is over. Those leaked versions are always a bit similar to the final official version..."

"Mr. Dunn, do you mean that the result of the lottery has already been set by UEFA?"

The reporters shouted in excitement, and finally they heard what they wanted to hear most.

Dunn’s face was immediately pulled off, and he stared at the reporter who asked the question: “I’ve never said anything like that. If you think I said it in the report, I will keep accusing you of slandering me, Mr. Reporter.”

The atmosphere immediately cooled down.

Dunn took this opportunity to get out of the circle of reporters and walked into the conference scene.

There he met his immediate boss, the FA CEO Sean Barclays.

"So many reporters are surrounding you, what are they asking?" He glanced warily at the excited reporters at the door. He was worried that Dunn would be talking about it again.

"The result of the leaked lottery, what else could it be?" Dunn asked nonchalantly.

"You didn't say anything, did you? Mr. Dunn." Mr. Barclays became obviously nervous.

Dunn grinned: "What are you worried about, Mr. Barclay?"

Barclays couldn't explain it, he frowned and patted Dunn on the shoulder: "Let's go, Mr. Dunn. The draw ceremony is about to begin."

※※※

Unlike the leaked version, England was not assigned to Group D, but to Group C. This makes many people even more convinced that the result of the leaked team draw was fabricated, because there will be more or less similar rumors before each competition, and everyone is accustomed to it.

After all the seeded teams are arranged, the second-tier teams are drawn.

When it was Group C's turn, the guest of the draw, the former Madrid flag Raul Gonzalez from Spain raised the table tennis ball in his hand, pulled out the paper in the ball, and then said the name on it. At the same time, a note in his hand appeared on the big screen behind him.

"Germany."

There was a boo on the scene.

The camera scanned the location of the coaches, and accurately found Tony Dunn, only to find that he put his finger in his mouth, booing HIGH.

If it weren’t for everyone’s familiarity with Tony Dunn’s image, I’m afraid he would now be considered a passerby, not one of the parties...

"Mr. Dunn!" Barclays sitting next to him waited for Dunn with an unhappy expression.

Dunn glanced at him, then hesitated a few times. His sharp boos can be heard clearly on the TV broadcast.

After doing this, he took his hand out of his mouth, and wiped it on his suit in an unimaginative manner. "What's the matter, Mr. Barclay?"

"Pay attention to your image..." Barclays said weakly.

Dunn smiled: "Okay, Mr. Barclays."

The commotion caused by the draw lasted for a while before disappearing. When someone looked back to see what the England coach said about the result, they all saw him booing. Who knows if he is an excited boo or a dissatisfied boo... But it doesn't matter, the media will arrange lines for him.

I believe those senior UEFA officials sitting on the podium must have seen this scene. No way, who said Tony Dunn was the focus of the venue at that moment?

The German Summerer was a little dissatisfied with the result. He frowned, his face solemn. Perhaps, he is still a little unhappy with Dunn's attitude-this Englishman is too frivolous!

The caressing Englishman was sitting in his place at this time, looking at the German football star Beckenbauer who walked up to the draw with a smile on his face.

He will be drawn from the third-tier team in Group C.

The results he pulled out disappointed the excited media, because it was not the expected Sweden, but Portugal.

Dunn laughed below, Portugal's strength is stronger than Sweden. If it weren’t for their poor performance in this qualifier and not breaking into the World Cup in Brazil, how could they have been assigned to the third rank...

The team that appeared in the fourth grade gave Dunn a slightly surprised expression for the first time.

"Welsh." The host said this somewhat boring name.

Dunn's brows jumped.

He didn't expect that he and the little monkey would meet again so soon.

Due to the expansion of the European Cup, the group stage has been increased from four groups to six. As a result, the possibility of "strong dialogue" in the group stage in the past is much lower. So England has become a veritable "death group" in this group.

It's almost the same as the previous "leaked version". At the very least, England and Germany are indeed divided together.

As soon as the lottery ceremony ended, the media surrounded Dun En to Tuan Tuan again.

Seeing that he himself was about to be squeezed out by the crowd of reporters, Barclays quickly reminded him in Dunn's ear: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Dunn!"

"I'm not a kid..." Dunn grumbled dissatisfiedly and greeted the media.

Dunn knows that England and Germany have always disliked each other in football. At this time, humility will not win favor.

"...We are not afraid of Germany, the'death group'? I'm not worried. This is the European Cup, and all teams that can come are strong teams. I don't think there is anything going on with teams like Germany, Portugal, and Wales. It’s not good... Our goal is to win the championship. There has never been a champion who can run into the belly..."

His words are shocking, especially when he publicly stated that his team's goal is to "win the championship." There was a sound of discussion among the reporters.

Tomorrow's eye-catching title is already available-"England Sword Finger Champion, Tony Dunn Personally Admits".

However, the reporters still have something to ask about the results of this draw: "Mr. Dunn, the leaked version before the draw contains the results of the draw, and England happened to be in a group with Germany. May I ask..."

Dunn knew what the reporter was trying to ask, he immediately raised his face and said: "Isn't this normal? For six groups, the probability that the German team will be assigned to Group C as the second-tier team One-sixth, I think it's normal. There is no problem here."

The reporters were reluctant, and wanted to hear some exciting content from his mouth. Dunn is unwilling to be a gunman for people, and he always uses Tai Chi to push his hands on such questions. For the left and right, he just doesn't answer directly.

The reporters blocked Dun En for a while. Seeing that they couldn't get the answer they wanted this time, they had no choice but to let him go.

But the phrase "our goal is to win the championship" alone is enough to attract attention. Yes, England has always been considered a strong European team, but there are probably many people who despise them. Many people think that the "strong team" needs to be "double quoted", and the pseudo-strong team is about the same. What's more, the results of this team's draw only came out, half a year before the start of the European Cup, Dunn shouted the slogan "Our goal is to win" so carelessly, without considering the changes that may occur in the past six months, in case the core Is the player out of state? What if the main players are troubled by injuries and cannot participate? He did this to make enemies for himself...

But that's all Tang En's own troubles. Those of us who are media outlets only need to attract attention.

※※※

The next day, the major sports media really started to hype Dunn's big mouth. Dunn's large photo with the sentence "Our goal is the champion" is indeed very shocking.

"Other people may just say this sentence as a joke, but when he said this sentence... others can't laugh."

Those who are familiar with Tony Dunn will definitely think of this when they see this title.

England fans are also very happy that they can have such a confident coach. Perhaps it will no longer be a dream for the English capital to win the Delaunay Cup in the European Cup next year.

Dunn did the show, and Sean Barclay had a headache.

Just as Dunn’s championship declaration appeared on the newspapers, he also received a call from UEFA President Platini.

The content of the call is simple. Platini reminded Barclays as a personal friend to take care of Tony Dunn’s mouth. Yesterday, he was interviewed by reporters before the draw, that UEFA is not deaf, you know. He didn't want to hear this person questioning UEFA's impartiality anymore.

The new FA CEO is different from his predecessors. He is trying to repair the relationship between the FA and UEFA, because UEFA always targets England. In the past few years, he has made many messy policies. .

He naturally didn't want Dunn's big mouth to affect his "friendship" with Platini, and also undermine the relationship between the FA and UEFA.

A few months ago, he was still in Denmark triumphantly expressing how successful his control of Dunn was. Now he realizes how a headache it is to have such a rebellious head coach.

If someone can make Tony Dunn honest, obedient, and docile like a sheep, then this person must be God... (To be continued, if you want to know what happened, please visit www.qidian.com, chapter More, support the author, support genuine reading!)
