Mark Wahlberg of "The Sun" spoke highly of Su Yun in his column. He even said in and out of words that he had such a keen eye that he could tell early on that Su Yun would succeed.
"Su Yun is definitely a magician from the East. He has a magical power. I have said before that Sunderland's invitation to Su Yun as coach is definitely a wise move. Look at the current English League One standings.
Delan has established his leading position early on."
"I can say with complete certainty that Sunderland will definitely be promoted in English League One this season."
"Look at the players Su Yun spent 6 million to introduce. I think all of them are worth the money. Coach Su has a good vision. And the best thing about Coach Su is that he did not blindly change Sunderland's original playing style.
.The offensive system was still built around Quinn. Slowly progressing, and unknowingly, Sunderland had gotten rid of Quinn's dependence in the offense."
"I am very optimistic about Sunderland's future. Even if we reach the Premier League, I believe Sunderland will not be relegated again."
After only eight rounds of the English League One, all doubts about Su Yun have completely disappeared.
Even Newcastle's "Herald" recognized Su Yun's achievements.
"Judging from the current results, Sunderland's invitation to coach Su was a wise move."
But of course Newcastle's newspaper would not be kind-hearted in flattering, and the next sentence changed the subject. "But the English League One and the Premier League are different after all. The results of the original coach Peter Reid were not much worse than the current coach Su. But.
So what?"
"What's the use of having good results in English League One? In the first year of the Premier League, we'll be back in English League One."
Whether it is praise or ridicule, in short, it is true that Su Yun has completely succeeded in the English League One.
One and a half months after the start of the English League One, Su Yun quickly conquered the English League One.
On September 28, 1997, Sunderland ushered in a highlight.
In the ninth round of the English League One, Sunderland faced Middlesbrough at home.
Middlesbrough is an interesting team.
Gibson became the chairman of Middlesbrough a few years ago. When he became the club chairman, it happened to be when Blackburn, the upstart English football team, won the Premier League championship. Perhaps because of the stimulation of Blackburn's success, Gibson invited the
Manchester United captain Bryan Robson is the head coach.
Then he started throwing money around.
Nick Barmby, Juninho, Ravanelli, and Baker all came to the Riverside Stadium.
Of course, Middlesbrough's results have also improved steadily.
But their results are reflected in the cup competition, not the league. Especially last season, Middlesbrough was invincible in the domestic cup competition. If Dagenham is famous for its upset victory over Manchester United.
Well, Middlesbrough is a real achievement.
They successively reached the finals of the League Cup and FA Cup. It's a pity. In the two cup finals, they first lost to Leicester City 0-1, and then lost 0-2 to Chelsea. Two domestic cup finals.
They only finished second in the cup competition.
Of course, this is not the saddest thing for them.
The saddest thing for them is that they played well in the domestic cup competition. However, they ranked only 19th in the Premier League and could only go to English League One. They became the laughing stock of the entire British football world. And those players who bought them with huge sums of money,
When they saw that the team was relegated, they all left the club one after another.
This is Middlesbrough.
Fortunately, Robson is the iron-blooded captain. Although the heavyweight players have left, Middlesbrough's combat effectiveness is still the same. The team built by Robson is still an iron-blooded team.
Currently ranked third in English League One.
Sunderland are now eight points ahead of Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough played tough. Unfortunately, facing Sunderland, who also played tough, Middlesbrough's toughness had no effect.
Kevin Phillips, who has been in hot form recently, scored another goal in this game.
Sunderland defeated Middlesbrough 2-1 at home.
At the end of the nine rounds, there were eight wins and one draw, with a total of 25 points. The lead over third place Middlesbrough was already 11 points. After only nine rounds of the league, Sunderland was already far ahead of the other teams.
.
In September, Sunderland achieved four wins and one draw in five games.
Kevin Phillips scored six goals in five games.
In the September selection, Su Yun became the League One Coach of the Month, while Kevin Phillips became the Player of the Month.
It’s not like Su Yun has never been the coach of the month.
Su Yun has been the coach of the month in both the English African League and English League Three. However, the attention of the English African League and English League Three is too low. In other words, there is almost no other media attention except his own media.
But English League One is different.
As the second-tier league in England, English League One has attracted a lot of attention. Especially the strong teams in English League One, all of them will play in the Premier League next season.
Su Yun felt very happy after winning the League One Coach of the Month award.
But Su Yun is very humble.
"Being able to win this award is the result of the hard work of my players. In fact, I didn't do anything myself. The most I did was make up for the team and add some players who are suitable for the team. Then I formulated a plan based on their characteristics.
It’s just tactics.”
"The results we have achieved now are all due to the hard work of the players on the court."
After hearing what Su Yun said, many reporters complained.
Look how thick-skinned Su Yun is.
While saying that he didn't do anything, he listed everything he had done.
Compared to Su Yun's calmness, Kevin Phillips was much more excited.
"I'm delighted to be awarded the Player of the Month award. I'd like to thank my boss, if he hadn't brought me to Sunderland, I wouldn't have had this opportunity. I also want to thank my partner Neil, Neil is really my best friend."
The best partner I have ever seen.”
"I have scored 11 goals now. I feel very good. I think I can score at least 25 goals for the team this season."
Kevin Phillips expressed confidently.
But no reporter questioned it.
Because according to Phillips' current state, twenty-five goals are definitely not a dream. Sunderland's schedule of this season is not yet a quarter of the way, and Phillips has already scored 11 goals. So much so that some media even said
He said, who can stop Phillips from scoring?
Instead, Su Yun next to him smiled and shook his head.
"Kevin, your goal is too low. You should score at least thirty goals this season to be considered qualified."
Some reporters may be dissatisfied with Su Yun's arrogance.
So Leng Buding asked Su Yun.
"Coach Su, do you have any aspirations for the League Cup and FA Cup this season?"
Su Yun was stunned.
There was nothing going on in the first round of the League Cup without Sunderland. Sunderland started participating in the second round. As early as September 17, Sunderland played a game in the second round of the League Cup. But at that time, Sunderland
Yun paid attention to the league and sent a group of substitutes on the field.
Fortunately, the opponent was the Pele team from a lower level.
With Bridges' two goals, Sunderland defeated Pele 2-0 at home and took the lead in the first game of the second round of the League Cup.
But after arriving at Sunderland, Su Yun no longer cared much about the League Cup and FA Cup.
The League Cup champion and the FA Cup champion together are not as important as promotion.
