The fifth round of the English League will begin immediately after the third day of the game against Manchester United.,qb5,//
On September 12, Sunderland faced Derby County at home.
In this game, Su Yun did not arrange for Williams to play.
After talking to Williams, Williams did become much more normal.
But Su Yun still put him on the bench.
Su Yun wanted Williams to take a good look at the game on the bench and take a good look at the characteristics of Sunderland's players. So Su Yun replaced Williams with Lee Clark.
Because the opponent is a little weak.
Derby County's glorious period was in the early 1970s. At that time, Derby County won the top league championship twice in four years. It also entered the semi-finals of the Champions League.
It's a pity that after winning the second top league championship, they began to decline. They were relegated from the top league and went bankrupt several times in the lower leagues. However, Derby County was lucky. Unlike those clubs that went bankrupt in history, they went bankrupt every time.
Will come back to life every time.
There are always rich people who will save them.
Derby County, which had been relegated to England's Third Division in the 1980s, was on the verge of bankruptcy. Fortunately, England's media tycoon Robert Maxwell saved them with timely financing at this time.
However, the funding problem has not been completely resolved.
Derby County continue to suffer from financial difficulties and are once again in danger of bankruptcy.
After the 1990s, Lionel Pickering, a local millionaire in Derby County, obtained a controlling stake in the team. His arrival completely alleviated Derby County's financial crisis, and Derby County began to pay attention to the youth training camp.
Start investing money in the transfer market.
Finally two years ago they were promoted to the English League.
Derby County's performance in the past two years has been very stable. Although the ranking is not very high, there is basically no worry of relegation every year. It has no strength to achieve better results. It is one of the few teams in the UK that has no desires and desires.
However, after the start of this season, Derby County's results in the first four rounds were quite good.
One win and three draws, accumulating six points. Although the opponents are a bit weak, such results are still completely acceptable for a team as committed as Derby County.
After losing to Manchester United, Su Yun is ready to regain confidence in Derby County. Although Williams is missing, Su Yun believes that Lee Clark's strength is not bad. And Su Yun cannot just watch one or two games.
Su Yun wants a more perfect Williams.
Keeping him calm off the court is also a very good exercise.
It's a pity that I didn't go according to my own ideas in the home game.
The game against Manchester United undoubtedly exposed Sunderland's shortcomings. Especially the positioning problem of Lucas Neal in the defense, which has made many British managers aware of it.
The same goes for Derby County's manager.
Jim Smith was a defender when he was a player. He also knew how to spot loopholes in defense.
In this game, he also took advantage of Lucas Neal's weakness of being very aggressive.
Derby County's Costa Rican forward Wanchope took advantage of the gap and scored a goal after Lucas Neal rushed out. Without Williams, the midfield defense was even worse. Fortunately, in the second half, Phillips took over
Kilbani's cross was countered by offside and the score was successfully equalized.
Otherwise, Sunderland may lose to Derby County at their home court.
This made Su Yun very embarrassed.
In order to achieve good results in the league, scoring against a strong team only increases some exposure. The most important thing is stability. You must not lose points at will in front of a weak team. The tie with Derby County at home made Su Yun very disappointed.
.
On September 19, Sunderland challenged Liverpool away.
This season, Liverpool invited French coach Houllier to co-coach with Houllier and Evans.
Su Yun himself despises joint coaching. Regardless of any team, even if they want to brainstorm, they should not appoint two head coaches, because when they disagree, who should they listen to?
But after they cooperated, their results were outstanding.
In the first five rounds, they achieved three wins and two draws, surpassing Sunderland by one point in the standings and currently ranking first in the UK.
Who is Liverpool's hottest star right now?
Michael Owen.
He is currently the most popular baby in England.
Especially after experiencing the World Cup in France, Irving's reputation has skyrocketed.
Although there are many good players in England, Owen's reputation has increased the fastest in the past two years.
He was boasted by the English media as the number one striker in world football. But Irving is indeed very strong, and Su Yun is even more impressed by Irving.
When Su Yun was at Dagenham, Owen made his first appearance in the Liverpool first team in a game against Dagenham. And he scored a goal for Liverpool in his first appearance.
Genham became Irving's back figure.
Every time Irving is introduced, they will say that he scored a goal in his first appearance for Liverpool. The opponent was Dagenham.
Su Yun has already made some adjustments in this game.
Regarding Lucas Neal's tendency to lose position, Su Yun had emphasized this before the game. He also asked Robbie Savage to protect the back line.
However, under Liverpool's attack, the loopholes in the defense still could not be improved.
Owen received passes from Jamie Redknapp twice during the game and scored two goals.
This shocked Su Yun very much.
In the second half, Su Yun had no choice but to put Williams in a defensive midfielder position, thus avoiding further conceding the ball.
Sunderland could only accept a 0-2 defeat in the away game.
…………
Sunderland's high start and low start surprised many media.
Of course, many media also started to ridicule.
Sunderland won three consecutive games in the first three rounds, and then had one draw and two losses in the last three rounds. After six rounds, they accumulated ten points. For a newly promoted team, it is not an embarrassing result. It can even be said to be a very good result.
Ten points, and Sunderland are still ranked third in the English League.
But the front and rear impact was too great.
Therefore many people cannot accept it.
The ridicule in the media continued one after another.
The Newcastle Herald published the results of Sunderland led by Peter Reed and Su Yun in the British Championships.
"Sunderland in the 19697 season had two wins, two draws and two losses in the first six rounds, accumulating eight points. Among its opponents were strong teams like Liverpool and Newcastle. At that time, Sunderland appeared in the English League as a dark horse.
.Everyone was surprised by their performance."
"But when the 9697 season ended, Sunderland became a relegated team from England."
The Herald's reporter first reviewed Peter Reid's achievements at Sunderland.
"Look at Sunderland this year. In the first six rounds, they had three wins, one draw and two losses, accumulating ten points. Although it is two points more than Sunderland two years ago, the current Sunderland is opening high and falling low.
Let’s go, we won the first three games but had one draw and two losses in the next three games, showing our fatigue.”
"I believe Coach Su has felt the difficulties in England. I am even less optimistic about the current Sunderland because their performance is declining. Coach Su can only copy the way of coach Peter Reid. Sunderland is in England
The future is worrying!”
"I have long said that Sunderland's destiny this season is to return to League One."
The Newcastle media did not forget to laugh at Sunderland.
After Newcastle lost to Sunderland, Sunderland laughed at Newcastle. Many Sunderland media cursed Newcastle's relegation this season. Now Sunderland's performance is slightly worse. Of course, the Newcastle media are not
Sunderland will be spared.
And now not only Newcastle newspapers, but also many other media are looking down on Sunderland.
However, the "Daily Telegraph" did not laugh at Sunderland like other media.
"Sunderland's performance is like a roller coaster. When people don't think much of them, they can beat Arsenal and Newcastle. But when many people are disappointed with Sunderland's performance, Sunderland is...
Losing to Manchester United and Liverpool one after another is dizzying."
"But after careful analysis, there is actually nothing surprising about this. Sunderland's schedule this season is very difficult. In the first four rounds of the league, they met Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Liverpool. In fact, Sunderland's schedule is very difficult.
In terms of strength, even if they lose to Manchester United, Liverpool is very normal. It’s just because they have won three consecutive games, so people’s expectations are too high. That’s why there is so much negative news.”
"There is actually no problem with one draw and two losses in three games. We can definitely see from a few games that Sunderland's strength is still very good. As long as Sunderland players are not disturbed and affected by these, the next games will be better.
You can still achieve good results.”
In fact, Su Yun was not affected by the newspaper at all.
We lost to Manchester United and Liverpool, and they were all away from home. This is completely acceptable. In the entire UK, Old Trafford and Anfield are the famous devil's home stadiums. Not to mention Sunderland. Even the UK is strong.
The team dare not say that they can score points in these two home games.
Sunderland's goal this season is just to achieve a good ranking.
If they beat Manchester United, Liverpool would be upset, and losing to them would be completely normal.
But how to adjust the players' mentality is Su Yun's most important task at the moment.

"Min Hao, this program has been postponed."
"Adjourned?"
Min Hao frowned. But he also knew why? Because when this program was filmed, Sunderland's results were very good. It was very popular in the minds of Chinese fans, and it was because of this that CCTV prepared to give Su
Yun shoots an album and creates a show.
But Sunderland's results in these games have been too poor.
So the above decided to take it slow before talking.
Min Hao understood the decision above.
But I'm a little disappointed. After all, this is a program they filmed in the UK for ten days, and it's a program shared by everyone. Now I don't know when I will be able to get another chance.
After all, CCTV's program schedule is full, and it is not so easy to get a schedule again.
well!
Min Hao could only sigh.
Who made Sunderland's results so poor during this period?
