No matter how quarreling the British football world is, Su Yun's work will continue.
Because the Premier League doesn't stop because of these things.
On August 22, 1998, Sunderland faced Southampton at home in the second round of the Premier League.
Southampton is a weak team in the Premier League. And although they have a long history, they have no honors, and they can only win an FA Cup championship. In recent years, it has been getting worse. They can only work hard to avoid relegation.
The Stadium of Light is completely different to Highbury.
The Stadium of Light, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, is not only the most luxurious stadium in the Premier League. The atmosphere of the stadium is incomparable to Highbury.
Sunderland fans and Newcastle fans are both fans of the northern English city.
They are known for their fanaticism and loyalty.
Moreover, this is the first home game after the promotion. In addition, the last game defeated the Arsenal in the away game, so the enthusiasm of the fans is even higher.
Su Yun was in the locker room listening to the cheers of the fans and making final arrangements.
"Southampton is actually no different from the opponents we encountered in English League One. When they have the ball, they will play to both wings, or they will make long passes to find Beatty. Lucas, tell Beatty during the game. It's not easy to be a center forward in England."
Lucas Neal nodded vigorously.
During this period, Lucas Neal was also criticized by a lot of media.
Who made him tackle the famous Bergkamp? The "Ice Prince" has a great influence in world football and is currently the best star in the Netherlands. He also has a large number of fans in England. It is really because of Bergkamp The kick is so elegant.
Conquered many people.
Bergkamp was the best player in the Premier League last season.
These accusations put a lot of pressure on Lucas Neal, who was only 20 years old. But Su Yun supported Lucas Neal, thinking that Lucas Neal only did everything a defensive player could do. There was no such thing. Any destructive action.
It was just an accident.
Therefore, Lucas Neal is very grateful to Su Yun.
Su Yun even praised Lucas Neal's professional attitude in public in the media. This greatly increased Lucas Neal's confidence.
Beatty?
James Beatty?
I will definitely let you know that the center forward of the Premier League team is not that easy to play.
"Robbie, take care of the two wings."
"yes."
Robbie Savage's answer is very simple. But Su Yun trusts Robbie Savage very much. This player who is very good-looking and very fierce on the court is Su Yun's favorite. Brutal and rough, in fact It's about Robbie Savage.
But when strength is insufficient, this murderous intent is also a way to increase deterrence.
"Southampton's offense only has a few routines. Their midfielder is not good at anything except that he is physically good and can run a little. Jack, do you know what to do?"
"Know."
Williamson's answer.
"Okay. This is our first home appearance since arriving in the Premier League. All the fans are looking forward to our performance." Su Yun pointed to the top. "Listen to the cheers, they are all cheering for us."
"We can beat Arsenal 3-0. Southampton, what do you think we should do?"
Su Yun suddenly raised his voice.
"Destroy them!"
Robbie Savage's soft voice came out.
"Yes, destroy them!"
Melville immediately echoed Robbie Savage.
"Destroy them!"
All the players were shouting.
Su Yun shook his fist vigorously. "Yes. Go up and tell Southampton, don't think that they are better than us because they have played a few more seasons in the Premier League than us. Go and destroy them."
…………
"The game is about to start. Sunderland faced Southampton at home. In the first round of the Premier League, Sunderland defeated Arsenal 3-0 away from home, completing a big upset. However, Southampton lost a match at home.
The second loss was to Liverpool.”
"In fact, in the relegation odds at the beginning of the season, there was not much difference between Sunderland and Southampton. This game can also be said to be a battle between two relegation teams."
The commentator's explanation is very conventional.
"Uuuuuu——"
"We have a magician from China... Blah blah blah - he leads us to success - blah blah blah - Su, Su is our magician!!!!"
"Long live Sue!"
When Su Yun came out, the cheers of the entire Stadium of Light increased several times.
Su Yun now likes this feeling of being a hero.
In the past, Su Yun always believed that players are the stars, and the coach's job is just to do some training and lead the team in games. But when he arrived in England, he discovered that coaches in England are completely different. You can also become the star of the team as a coach.
It can even become the team's symbol.
Just like Ferguson at Manchester United now. With Ferguson's outstanding achievements at Manchester United, when talking about Manchester United, you will think of Ferguson, and when talking about Ferguson, you will think of Manchester United.
And Liverpool, the former king of England.
Speaking of the winning team from the 1970s to the 1980s, the first thing people talk about is not necessarily the star players of the team at that time. Instead, more people will talk about Shankly and Paisley. This is English football.
tradition.
Su Yun is enjoying the present very much.
"beep--"
With the referee's whistle, the game finally started.
After a season of cooperation, Sunderland is now operating very freely. Williams very consciously controls the rhythm of the game and decides to go wide or central after receiving the ball.
Southampton's James Beatty, this is the center forward from Blackburn Rovers.
When he was at Blackburn, it was when Blackburn swept the Premier League. At that time, Blackburn's center forwards were Shearer and Sutton. And because Beatty's playing style was somewhat similar to Shearer, some media believed that Beatty
That's Shearer second.
It's a pity that it is always second.
Not Shearer himself.
And Beattie is still very young now. He has just turned 20 years old and is a very young player. He has become Southampton's main center forward. But his ability is several levels behind Shearer.
Southampton relies on Beattie on the front line.
Facing the fierce Sunderland defense, Beattie really felt what a Premier League game is like. He was very uncomfortable during the game.
Because the midfielder behind had too little support for Beatty.
When Sunderland surrounded Beatty, not only did the two central defenders take turns to go up. Even Robbie Savage would come over to defend together.
As a result, Beatty basically couldn't get the ball.
Such is Southampton's attack.
But Sunderland's offense is much sharper. Sunderland didn't use any complicated tactics, they just beat Quinn hard. Quinn is not only outstanding in the English League, but also in the Premier League.
An air lord.
In the last game, both Adams and Keown struggled to defend Quinn.
But there are several Adams and Keown in the Premier League.
The two of them are already the two best top center back combinations in the Premier League.
Not to mention Southampton, there are currently few defender combinations in the entire Premier League that can compare with them. Therefore, Southampton simply cannot prevent Quinn's header.
Seven minutes into the game, Quinn received a pass from Williams and handed the ball over his head to Phillips who came in.
The combination of Quinn and Phillips is a match made in heaven.
The two of them knew exactly how to cooperate with one look and one movement.
Phillips suddenly opened the door for Southampton with a shot.
But this is just the beginning of this game.
Sunderland's style of play is the most damaging to teams like Southampton. Especially with Quinn, few teams in the entire Premier League can completely defend against it. Although the style of play is simple, it is
is the most effective.
Neither wing was active, and Quinn's header alone completely tore Southampton's defense apart.
Quinn had three header assists in the entire game, all of which were given to his partner Kevin Phillips. Phillips also completed his first hat trick in the Premier League. Not only did he complete a hat trick of header assists, Quinn also
A header was also scored during the game.
Coupled with Southampton's own goal, Sunderland finally beat Southampton 5-0 at home.
After the game, Su Yunshi praised Quinn lavishly when facing reporters.
He even jokingly said, "Quinn should be sent to brain surgery for a checkup to see if there is a radar device installed in Quinn's brain." Su Yun was not the only one to say this. Many newspapers believed that Quinn had become an adult.
Cum.
Because his header is so accurate.
He can always find loopholes in the opponent's defense.
After defeating Arsenal 3-0 and Southampton 5-0, Sunderland jumped to the top of the Premier League.
A very unexpected result.
Many people thought that Sunderland would soon realize the cruelty of the Premier League, but after two rounds of games, Sunderland made all Premier League teams look at it with admiration.
This is a dark horse.
And Su Yun was also a little proud.
Regarding the question asked by many reporters about relegation this season, Su Yun pouted: "Relegation, I have never thought about relegation since Sunderland was promoted. Because Sunderland did not come to the Premier League to avoid relegation.
I believe what I said will be verified soon."
Many media outlets have ridiculed Su Yun, who is so confident.
After Peter Reed arrived in the Premier League, his initial results were very good. But he was quickly knocked back to his original form. The consequences of speaking out without shame were even greater insults.
But Su Yun filtered these words.
Su Yun was the last to leave the club every time. And every night as long as there was nothing to do, Zheng Yuan would drive to pick Su Yun up.
But when I walked out of the club today, I didn't find Zheng Yuan's car.
Zheng Yuan would have called if he didn't come.
Su Yun shook his head. He was about to walk back, but after taking a step, he stopped there. He opened his mouth wide and looked straight ahead.
