Sunderland were eliminated from the League Cup and FA Cup one after another, so they were left in the league. In the league, Sunderland had won consecutive victories, and had already laid the foundation for promotion.
During this period, Su Yun received Fan Zhiyi again.
Just as Su Yun thought.
Fan Zhiyi was on trial training with Tottenham Hotspur, but unfortunately he went back after a week of trial training without getting any results.
Before Fan Zhiyi left, Su Yunshi talked to Fan Zhiyi again.
The arrogance in English football runs deep into the bones.
They will even look at players from the same powerful European countries with another eye, let alone an Asian player. Now, even if Asian players go to Europe to play, they mostly choose Italy and Germany.
England?
They don't look down on Asian players very much.
What's more, it's Chinese players.
So Su Yun gave Fan Zhiyi a suggestion. Choose English League One and establish yourself in English League One first. Let the English football team see their strength, and it will naturally be possible to join the Premier League.
Maybe it was the unsatisfactory two trial training sessions that also hit Fan Zhiyi.
So this time Fan Zhiyi said that he would carefully consider Su Yun's suggestion.
Su Yun was relatively happy about this conversation.
Fan Zhiyi is very strong.
If they come to the English Football League, it will definitely make the British football world re-recognize Chinese players. Maybe they will be interested in Chinese players by then, and it will also open up a new way for Chinese players to enter the British football world.
By the time Fan Zhiyi returned to China, it was almost April.
At this time, Sunderland had already qualified for promotion to the Premier League ahead of schedule.
But the fans' enthusiasm remains unabated.
Every time there is a game, the Stadium of Light is always full.
This day is even more true.
On April 17, 1998, the 43rd round of the English League One began.
Sunderland face Crewe at home.
Half an hour in advance, the Stadium of Light was already buzzing with people. The game had not started yet, but the fans were already singing.
When the players came out, the stadium was filled with cheers.
And when Su Yun appeared, the entire stadium suddenly boiled.
"Su, Su, Su!"
"We have a magician from China... Blah blah blah - he leads us to success - blah blah blah - Su, Su is our magician!!!!"
"Uuuuuu——"
"Long live Sue!!!!"
Su Yun became a hero at the Stadium of Light with his performance in one season.
Fans' feelings are very simple.
As long as it brings victory, they will support whoever it is.
"Su, congratulations."
Dario Grady has not changed at all, he is still as personable. "Listen to the voices of the fans, I know you are doing a good job at Sunderland."
"Thank you, Coach Grady."
He always maintained respect for the Su Yun in front of him.
Just look at this season.
Crewe have sold many midfielders. Neil Lennon, Robbie Savage, and Danny Murphy have all left Crewe. But Crewe have just been promoted to League One this season.
The performance of the Lu team this season has been unexpectedly outstanding.
The entire central axis has been changed, but it is still ranked 11th in English League One.
Dario Grady's coaching level is absolutely outstanding.
It's just a pity.
Su Yun knew that with Crewe's investment, there was basically no possibility of them being promoted. Being able to come to the English League One was already the result of Dario Grady saving money and cultivating young talents. But he couldn't keep them.
Live these good players.
There is no way Crewe are going to the Premier League.
But Su Yun knew that Dario Gradi would not leave the Crewe team.
I feel so sorry for this coach.
But who knows?
How can a fish know the joy of a fish? Maybe being able to stay in the Crewe team is what Dario Gradi wants most.
As soon as the game started, the fans' chants were very unified.
"One hundred percent! One hundred percent!"
The cheers were so unified.
Because Sunderland currently has 97 points.
As long as they win another victory, Sunderland's points will reach 100 points.
Although there are 46 games in English League One, it is definitely not easy to get 100 points. No team in English League One has ever scored more than 100 points. The highest score should be nine created by Chelsea.
Nineteen points.
There are now four rounds left in the English League One, and Sunderland's points have already reached 97 points.
Many people know that Sunderland are about to break the record and win the championship.
So today's Sunderland fans are particularly crazy.
"One hundred percent! One hundred percent!"
From the beginning of the game, the whole audience had such a unified slogan.
Although Dario Gradi is an excellent coach, he was unable to make a living against Sunderland. After all, when Crewe were in the English League Two, the most powerful thing was his midfield triangle. But last season
After the end, Crewe's midfield generals all left Crewe.
Including Robbie Savage, who is now at Sunderland, all transferred from Crewe.
Therefore, Crewe's midfield strength has dropped a lot.
Facing Sunderland's powerful attack, Crewe were quickly defeated.
If it was for promotion before, now Sunderland players know that they are about to create League One history. So everyone performed bravely, and soon in the first half, Kevin Phillips received a long pass from Williams.
The offside pass was successfully reversed.
Easily scoring his 32nd goal for Sunderland this season.
"Kevin! Super Kevin!"
After one season, Phillips has scored more than 30 goals for Sunderland and has become the darling of the Stadium of Light.
No one expected Phillips' explosion this season.
The entire media shouted that Phillips was crazy.
Su Yun was also cheerful. He kept thanking Peter Reed, who had dismissed get out of class. If it hadn't been for him, Su Yun would have never been able to buy Kevin Phillips.
It will be easier after Phillips scores a goal.
In the second half, Boboski made a long run and scored Sunderland's second goal.
At the end of the game, Sunderland easily defeated Crewe 2-0.
"Two to zero, Sunderland scored a record-breaking 100 points. Now there are three rounds left in the league, and Sunderland can score a maximum of 109 points. This is the English League One, and it should be said that it is the first league in England.
The championship with the highest points since the establishment of the second-division league."
"I have to mention Coach Su Yun from China. This is the first time he has led the team to play in the English League One. Before that, he had only coached in the English African League and English League Three. For the first time in English League One, he was able to lead the team.
Delan broke the historical record. I have to say, Coach Su is doing a great job."
At the end of the game, even the commentator who explained the game was very excited.
This is a record.
Not to mention the fans.
Although the English League One is only the second-tier league in England, it is of course proud to have broken the historical record.
"One hundred percent! One hundred percent!"
The cheers of the fans echoed in the Stadium of Light for a long time.
