Sunderland's coaching change is something everyone knows about.
Moreover, Sunderland is no longer an important force in British football. If Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Newcastle change coaches, it may be a big news in British football. But Sunderland, a Premier League relegation team, has the weight of a team.
It's very low.
So the media didn't pay much attention.
Just when it was announced that Peter Reid was dismissed, many media felt that Sunderland was a bit unfair. Even some famous players in English football criticized Sunderland's eagerness for quick success. They believed that a team should have enough patience with the coach.
.
At this time you can see Peter Reid's status in British football.
Peter Reid, who was well-known in British football as a player, has a wide network of contacts in British football. At this time, many people came out to support him.
But that's all.
But when the newspaper revealed that Su Yun was going to become the head coach of Sunderland, doubts arose one after another.
"Murray is crazy!"
The first to raise questions was the local Sunderland Echo.
"Although Coach Reid led the team to be relegated, don't forget that just two seasons ago, Sunderland was just a relegation team in League One. It took only one season to bring a team that had been relegated from League One to the Premier League.
, there is no doubt about Coach Reed’s strength.”
The Sunderland Echo is also a bit funny.
When Peter Reed's performance was not good this season, the one who criticized Peter Reed the most was Sunderland's local "Echo" newspaper. Now that Peter Reed has dismissed get out of class, they have come out to fight for him again.
Sunderland's "Echo" reviewed Peter Reid's coaching career and said why Peter Reid is so good.
Then he changed his mind and mentioned Su Yun.
"Coach Su is considered a man of the hour in British football this season. He defeated English League One and Premier League teams in succession in the League Cup, and finally defeated Manchester United to complete the biggest upset in the League Cup this season. After defeating Manchester United, for a while
They are both equally popular in English football."
"But Murray is really crazy to invite Coach Su just because of this. Looking at Coach Su's coaching experience, he has never coached in a top league, whether in China or England. In China, he is only the manager of a second-tier league.
Coach, when he arrived in England, he only coached in the English African League and English League Three."
"I don't understand, has Sunderland reached this point? Although we were relegated from the Premier League, are our demands so low? Has Sunderland given up hope of returning to the Premier League?"
Sunderland's "Echo" is firmly opposed to Su Yun taking over Sunderland.
Although Sunderland has been relegated, they still have a lot of room for choice. Why choose a coach like Su Yun who coaches in the English League Three?
There is a world of difference between English League Three and English League One. Compared with the Premier League, it is even more heaven and earth. Sunderland want to upgrade, there are many good coaches to choose from, why did they choose Su Yun.
Compared with the staunch opposition of Sunderland's "Echo" newspaper, Newcastle's media was mainly ridiculed.
The title of Newcastle's local newspaper "Herald" clearly reads "Sunderland = Su Yun?"
"This season's Premier League competition has made Sunderland completely understand. You don't have to perform well in English League One to be successful in the Premier League. Sunderland finally understand that this season's Premier League has finally woken them up. They have begun to have
I know myself well, so I am very pragmatic when choosing a coach.”
"Coach Su, a coach from the English League Three. I think he is very suitable for the current Sunderland. Sunderland's current level is just suitable for Coach Su to perform."
The Herald is outright mocking Sunderland.
The grievances between the two clubs are evident. When Newcastle lost the league title last season, the media ridiculed the Sunderland side the most. This time, Newcastle was unaware of Sunderland's relegation. How happy.
Even when Sunderland was relegated, Newcastle fans cheered loudly at their home stadium. The big screen at St. James Park even showed the painful look of Sunderland fans when Sunderland was relegated.
Newcastle fans, on the other hand, gloated over Sunderland's relegation.
Now I heard that Sunderland invited Su Yun, the head coach of the English League Three, so I laughed even more unscrupulously.
Su Yun was speechless after seeing it.
These people all feel that it is too ridiculous for Su Yun's level to coach Sunderland, a strong English team.
Only the Sun's football expert and England football legend Mark Wahlberg spoke highly of Sunderland's vision in his column.
"How many head coaches in British football can lead a club to double jump for two years? How many head coaches can lead a team in the English League Three to defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford? Coach Su from China has Did it.”
"If you know about Dagenham's previous situation, I believe everyone will get to know Coach Su again. Dagenham has already entered the English League Two. This is all the result of Coach Su. Those who have watched Dagenham games Everyone knows that Coach Su is a coach who attaches great importance to the midfield. It is a big change from the traditional 4-4-2 playing style. He is a very smart coach."
"I have long said that Coach Su will definitely be a hot commodity. If Sunderland can find Coach Su, I believe it will be the wisest choice for Sunderland."
But Mark Wahlberg's words were not worth mentioning amid the accusations and ridicule.
…………
"Su, stay."
"Su, let's go."
May 3, 1997, Victoria Road Stadium.
The news that Su Yun is leaving Dagenham for Sunderland is flying all over the place. This is because the Sunderland Echo has already confirmed it. As a local newspaper in Sunderland, the news is always very accurate. Everyone knows that Su Yun Leaving Dagenham was a certainty.
Fans have all thought about Su Yun leaving Dagenham, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.
Many of them are still looking forward to Su Yun leading Dagenham to the English League Two. They are even looking forward to the day when Su Yun can lead Dagenham to the English League One or even the Premier League.
But he is leaving.
Fans don't know how to treat Su Yun.
They understand Su Yun. After all, Dagenham will only be a newly promoted team in the English League Two next season. It is even their first time to enter the English League Two. There is no comparison with clubs like Sunderland.
It's just that they are really reluctant to part with it.
Su Yun's results in just one and a half years are better than those in Dagenham's history.
In this game Dagenham faced Hull City.
But the fans have lost interest in this game. Their focus is now on Su Yun.
"Su, Su, Su! We will always support you."
In the middle of the game, a huge banner suddenly appeared in the east stand, with a length of forty meters.
"Su, he is leaving Dagenham and going to coach Sunderland. But we will always remember the happiness that Coach Su brought us. We will always remember the results he brought to Dagenham. We wish him the best and we will
Genham will be his permanent home."
"Su, go ahead. We will always support you."
The on-site commentator was even more passionate in explaining. As the on-site commentator explained, the fans on site also cheered.
"Sue, Dagenham is your forever home."
"Uuuuuu——"
Listening to these words, Su Yun suddenly felt like a bastard who has breasts and is a mother. He felt sorry for the fans who supported him. Of course, this was just a momentary feeling.
Su Yun was really touched.
Su Yun only used Dagenham as a springboard, but these fans supported him so much.
For a moment, Su Yun felt like crying.
When Su Yun was a coach in China, he never heard the cheers of fans. The fans gave the cheers more to the star players on the field. In the eyes of the fans, the coach will never be as popular as the players. But here, Su Yun
I felt the touch of the coach.
No one cares about the game anymore.
The scores are small, and no one cares about who wins or loses.
"Frank, I really hope to continue working with you."
At the end of the game, the first person Su Yun found was Lampard. Su Yun really liked Lampard. Lampard has a strong ability to move forward. More importantly, Lampard has the strongest tactical ability, and
The most serious attitude in the game.
Su Yun likes players like this the most.
"Head, I also hope that we can continue to cooperate if we have the opportunity."
Lampard even talks so nicely.
"Frank, I want to tell you. Don't forget to continue practicing shooting when you return to West Ham United. You have the potential to become a world-class midfielder. You are only half of your potential now. Work hard."
"Thank you, head."
Just when Su Yun was talking to Lampard, some reporters came in.
"Coach Su, you are about to go to Sunderland Club. Do you have anything to say?"
"Coach Su,..."
"Coach Su,..."
Most of these people came here because Su Yun wanted to become the head coach of Sunderland. Su Yun pushed them away without any answer.
"Coach Su, do you have anything to say to the Dagenham fans?"
Su Yun, who had been walking forward, turned around after hearing these words.
