The 2-0 lead in the first half made Su Yun completely relieved. Although the past three rounds of games were due to schedule reasons, Su Yun was really afraid that it would severely damage the morale of the players.
Su Yun is not afraid at all of losing a few games.
What Su Yun fears most is that his players will be affected by losing.
This is a very timely victory.
So Su Yun was not stingy with his praise at all.
"Well done, well done."
Su Yun praised almost everyone by name.
Not even Ji Wen was spared.
In fact, Given didn't make a single save in the first half because Coventry didn't have a threatening shot.
Therefore, Ji Wen blushed when he heard Su Yun praise him.
Although Sunderland's defense was not tested much, they still defended Dablin and Huckabee. And almost all high-altitude balls were deflected. They were somewhat effective.
But what about yourself?
I spent the entire first half drinking Zephyr there.
Ji Wen was even a little lucky that it was October. If it were January, Ji Wen was really afraid that he would freeze in the first half.
But Su Yun was too excited and didn't care about Ji Wen's little thoughts.
"Jake, continue to keep an eye on McAllister in the second half. You did a good job in the first half, and you need to be more aggressive in the second half. He is the last barrier in front of Coventry's defense, and you have to put constant pressure on him. Just keep an eye on him.
Without McAllister, it would be impossible for Coventry to organize their attack or defense."
Williams rarely showed a slight smile, but it was only fleeting. Soon it turned into a dull look.
He looked at Su Yun and nodded.
"Okay, that's it. Everyone has been depressed in the last few games, and so am I. Today we give all our depression to Coventry."
…………
Strachan's eyebrows tightened from the beginning of the game and did not relax in the second half.
Strachan did not make any more tactical arrangements in the locker room. This is the difficulty for some small teams.
Although Coventry has two good forwards in Dabrin and Huckabee, they rely more on McAllister's dispatch. Teams like Coventry rarely have a second set
planned.
Even Sunderland has many backup plans.
In most games, Su Yun uses Williams as the core. But this does not mean that Su Yun does not have other backup plans. Without Williams as a midfield transition, Su Yun can establish Quinn as the core of the offense. And if the middle is blocked, Su Yun can
Yun can choose two sides again.
Because Su Yun has a powerful wing attacker like Boboski.
Too bad Coventry isn't.
McAllister was frozen. Strachan really couldn't find any more ways to do it.
Coventry is a club that dares to spend money in the UK.
Strachan's previous coach was Atkinson, the former Manchester United coach. After joining Coventry, the Coventry boss was very supportive of Atkinson. In one summer, Atkinson was given 50 million pounds.
transfer funds.
At that time, it was even crazier than giants like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool. Dablin and Huckaby were both recruited by Coventry at that time.
Even in European football, few clubs are so crazy.
However, this is not a minority after the founding of England. In recent years, either rich people have entered English clubs, or English clubs have become very wealthy with TV broadcast fees. They spend a lot of money in European football.
The English team has almost become a representative of the stupid people with lots of money in European football.
Unfortunately, Coventry, which had invested heavily, was struggling in the relegation zone. In the end, Atkinson, the famous England coach, had no choice but to sack out sadly.
Strachan, who was an assistant coach to Atkinson at the time, became the head coach.
Looking at being firmly suppressed by Sunderland, Strachan now wants to spend money in the transfer market. Dablin and Huckaby did perform well last season, but their characteristics are somewhat similar.
Strachan really had no choice.
Because McAllister, who Coventry relies on most, has absolutely no way to get rid of Williams in this game.
No matter what McAllister tried to do, Williams clung to him like a cowhide plaster.
McAllister was really depressed.
McAllister does not have the dazzling foot skills of South American stars. He cannot use his skills to beat Williams. And the running ability that McAllister has always been proud of cannot be used after encountering Williams.
any effect.
McAllister has done his best.
He ran as hard as he could, trying to create some opportunities with his running. But after running for a while, he couldn't help but give up.
Williams is a beast.
He is definitely not a normal person.
This is how McAllister feels now.
Especially when he saw that Williams didn't even shed a few drops of sweat on his face, this made McAllister even more desperate. The game had gone on for more than 60 minutes, and Williams was definitely the one who ran the most in the entire game.
players.
McAllister has not noticed that Williams has any feeling of breathlessness until now.
This kid is indeed a pervert.
"Williams is getting more and more aggressive. Look at McAllister. He has almost given up fighting with Williams. Every time he gets the ball, he passes the ball as quickly as possible."
McAllister passes the ball to the defender.
Now that McAllister, the core midfielder, has given up the fight with Williams, those Coventry defenders can only find Dablin and Huckaby with high balls. Unfortunately, Dablin and Huckaby are in Sander.
Under the attack of Langao's powerful midfielder and backcourt, he couldn't get the high-altitude ball at all.
Su Yun saw that Sunderland already had the overall situation, so he replaced Robbie Savage with Kilbani.
Kilbani returned to the left and pulled Barry down to Robbie Savage's position. Just to test Barry's positional sense.
"It seems that Su Yun really attaches great importance to Barry. The person who replaced him was Savage, not Barry."
Judging from the matchup substitutions, Barry should be replaced.
But Su Yun replaced Savage.
When Barry saw Kilbani warming up, he was already very frustrated. He originally wanted to show Su Yun his strength in this game. But what he didn't expect was that Coventry was too weak.
Didn't give myself any chance to perform.
Barry kept cursing Coventry in his mind.
Why are you so bad?
But when he saw that he was not the one being replaced, Barry was overjoyed.
Soon Su Yun replaced Phillips with Thomason.
Unlike Savage when he came off the field, Phillips received a standing ovation from the fans when he came off the field.
Phillips was Sunderland's top scorer when he was in the English League One. His scoring rate has not decreased at all since he arrived in England. He has scored six goals in seven rounds and currently ranks high on the English scorer list.
How can Sunderland fans not like Phillips?
"Well done, Kevin!"
Su Yun handed Phillips the clothes. He smiled and patted Phillips on the shoulder.
"Thank you, head."
Phillips really didn't expect that. He has been wandering around in the lower leagues. Until the age of 24, he was only a shooter in the lower leagues. His biggest dream is to one day be favored by an English team.
For Phillips, England is a luxury.
Because he was already twenty-four years old at that time.
But as time goes by, no one can predict this kind of thing.
Since moving to Sunderland last season, his scoring fortune has greatly increased since he partnered with Quinn. Not only did he become the top scorer in the English League, he also scored more than 30 goals in one season. After arriving in England, he scored many goals.
It’s still a steady stream.
Phillips' self-confidence has also soared.
And Phillips is even more fond of the young coach in front of him.
Phillips always felt that Su Yun was his noble person.
Ever since he met Su Yun, Phillips felt that he was very lucky.
"have a good rest."
After replacing Phillips, Su Yun soon replaced Bobosky with Bellamy.
The overall situation of the game has been decided, and Su Yun hopes that the main players will rest more.
Despite this, Williams in the midfield was still vigorous. The other players had already seen what Su Yun meant, but Williams continued to stare at McAllister. In the end, McAllister could no longer run away.
After moving, he could only look helplessly at Williams, who was still alive and kicking.
"Dududu——"
"The whole game is over. Sunderland, whose recent performance has been unsatisfactory, ended the seventh round with a score of 2-0. The seven rounds are over. Sunderland has four wins, one draw and two losses, and has accumulated 13 points.
We are currently in second place in the UK standings."
"It looks like Sunderland are going to continue their dark horse run."
This is really a group of big dark horses.
After seven rounds of games, it was able to suppress strong teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle and ranked second in the UK. This is really not an ordinary dark horse.
McAllister let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the whistle that ended the game.
The game was too difficult.
McAllister felt that his legs were shaking. It was really difficult to compete with a beast like Williams.
"Um?"
Williams walked off the field with his head lowered when he felt someone pulling him. So he turned around and found that it was McAllister pulling him.
Seeing Williams' young face, McAllister felt that time was not forgiving. He first took off his own jersey, and then pointed to Williams' jersey with a smile.
Only then did Williams realize that McAllister wanted to change jerseys with him.
So I quickly took off my jersey clumsily.
Su Yun came to English football late and didn't have much impression of McAllister. He also didn't watch his games at his peak. However, Williams was a youth training player of Newcastle very early, and McAllister was a regular player at that time.
At his peak, Williams watched it many times next to the TV.
"Jack?" McAllister called Williams' name uncertainly. Seeing him nodding, he continued: "You are better than me before. I expect a better performance from you."
After McAllister finished speaking, he slowly walked off the sidelines.
Williams stared blankly at McAllister's back, holding his jersey and not knowing what to say.
At this time, Su Yun was surrounded by reporters and said with a smile: "Sunderland is in crisis? No, Sunderland is normal."...)
