"I am very satisfied with the performance of our players.\,qΒ5,/I am proud of my players. I feel sorry for losing, but this is not the responsibility of the players, it is just our bad luck. In this game, we gained more
Lots of stuff.”
When he arrived at the press conference, Su Yun was already very relaxed.
At the end of the game, that sense of loss was put aside early.
When Sunderland lost, there was no lack of gloating.
Just like many people like to see new forces rising to disrupt the original order. Similarly, more people can't stand this sudden rise of power. So they suppress and slander them as much as possible.
So do these reporters.
Su Yun knows all these things.
But if a coach has to consider the thoughts of these reporters, he will be busy.
So after Su Yun sat down, he just said some things he wanted to say.
And those reporters obviously didn't want to let Su Yun go.
"Coach Su, what do you think of Williams' red card?"
Su Yun shrugged.
"No opinion. Any player would make the same choice in that situation. If someone's choice is different from Jack's, I can only say that that person is not suitable to be a defensive player."
Su Yun absolutely supports Williams' choice.
Any defensive player would do the same thing in that situation.
"Will Williams' red card have a big impact on the team?"
The reporter continued to ask Su Yun.
Su Yun glanced at the reporter in front of him with a rare sideways glance. It was too embarrassing to ask such a question. In any team, including wealthy teams, if the core players are suspended, it will definitely have an impact on the team's style of play.
Influence.
Such lame questions are asked.
*.
I don’t know how this reporter got into the reporter team.
"Jack's suspension will indeed have some impact. But our Sunderland team is a team, not a team of one person. Without Jack, we still have other excellent players. The team's record will not be affected.
"
Su Yun complained in his heart.
Williams is Sunderland's midfield general. Whether it is defense, passing, or offense, Sunderland's midfield is second to none.
Without him, Su Yun would have fewer means of emergency response.
But of course we can't say that at this time.
…………
Before he knew it, Ying had already finished the ninth round.
It’s already mid-October.
On October 17, 1998, the tenth round of the English League began.
Sunderland plays West Ham United at home.
The head coach of West Ham United is Redknapp, who is the father of Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp. Although Su Yun is not very familiar with Redknapp, he is also very grateful to Redknapp.
Knapp's.
When Suyun was at Dagenham, he loaned Lampard out, and Redknapp was very generous at that time.
Once again, after the start of this English season, when Wenger and Gullit accused Sunderland of playing rough, the first person to stand up and support Su Yun was Redknapp.
Redknapp directly criticized Wenger and Gullit as outsiders in English football.
Disrespecting the traditions of British football.
Redknapp even said that Wenger could go to France and Gullit return to the Netherlands, where their requirements could be met.
Redknapp has led a large number of local English coaches, and even some coaches in League One criticized Wenger and Gullit for being picky.
No matter what the reason for Redknapp was, Su Yun is still very grateful.
And more importantly, Redknapp is currently a rising young local coach in England.
West Ham United before he led the team was just a newly promoted team. But under Redknapp's leadership, West Ham United's results this season have been quite good. In the first nine rounds, they won three, drew four and lost two.
achievements.
The points reached thirteen points.
Just three points less than Sunderland.
West Ham United is an East London team, and like their fans, their playing style is quite tough.
In fact, Su Yun still has a way to deal with a team like West Ham United.
Sunderland was criticized by Wenger and Gullit for their brutal playing style, but it was not entirely a slander. Sunderland's midfielders and backfield players all played tough. Even their movements were a bit too big, including Robbie Sars.
Both Vic and Lucas Neal play a bit dirty.
Even Danny Mills mixed with them and his playing style was a bit rough.
Not to mention Williams.
Williams doesn't actually have any extra moves, but his physical strength is too strong. Simple collisions and tackles are very lethal to other players.
Su Yun is not afraid of West Ham United in a head-on confrontation.
Because Sunderland's style of play doesn't scare them at all. In addition, Sunderland's offensive strength can completely destroy them.
It's a pity that Williams is suspended.
Without Williams, Sunderland's midfield has been greatly reduced in both defensive thickness and offensive strength.
Playing two wings and Quinn, but without Williams, the accuracy dropped a lot.
Redknapp made targeted arrangements.
And maybe the players were too excited when playing against Chelsea. The players' status in this game was very problematic.
In the end, Sunderland tied West Ham United 1-1 at home.
Su Yun felt quite regretful.
Although West Ham United's recent results are good, this game should be won.
At the end of ten rounds, Sunderland has five wins, two draws and three losses, with 17 points.
Liverpool, whose form began to decline, only had one draw and one loss in these two rounds, and even lost to Leicester City 0-1. At the end of ten rounds, they had four wins, four draws, and two losses, accumulating 16 points.
.
The ones whose status has begun to improve significantly are Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.
They have achieved one win and one draw in the past two rounds. Manchester United's points have reached 18 points, Arsenal and Chelsea's points have both reached 16 points. Leeds United has scored two draws and has only 14 points.
As a result, Manchester United has returned to the top of the English standings, and Sunderland has become second. Below are teams such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Leeds United.
…………
"Frank. How are you doing?"
Although Su Yun felt a little regretful that the game was tied, Su Yun was not very angry, so he said hello to Lampard after the game.
Su Yun rented Lampard when he was at Dagenham. At that time, the relationship between the two was still very good. Su Yun valued Lampard very much. And Lampard also liked Su Yun very much. Of course, Lampard himself was in the team.
The popularity among them is also very good.
The only person at Dagenham who had a good relationship with Williams at the time was Lampard.
"It's pretty good. You're pretty big, head. I've been reading all the news about you in the newspapers lately."
Lampard smiled and greeted Su Yun.
In fact, Lampard was not happy at all at West Ham United. Although Lampard performed very well at West Ham United, especially after returning to West Ham United from Dagenham, he immediately became the star of West Ham United.
Main midfielder.
His powerful running ability and long-range shooting ability are fully displayed at West Ham United.
But he was not loved by the fans at all.
No matter when he plays well or when he plays poorly, West Ham United fans have always ridiculed him, saying that he relied on the relationship between his father and uncle to gain a foothold in West Ham United.
Although Lampard has played at West Ham United since he was a child, sometimes he misses his days at Dagenham.
At that time, he was only a loaned player, but the Dagenham fans supported him unconditionally. There was not so much pressure on him and he could play very easily.
"Frank, don't just read the newspaper. Look at my head, I feel like I've started to have gray hairs." Su Yun laughed and pointed to his head. "As long as Sunderland performs a little better, the media will
They say I am a new coach. If my performance is even slightly worse, they will send me to the 18th level of hell."
Lampard also smiled.
"Boss, they're just a bunch of buzzing flies."
"A good metaphor."
The two simply said hello and chatted after the game. At the end of the game, Su Yun had to go to the locker room to meet his players. Similarly, Lampard could not talk to Su Yun for a longer time on the court.
"Boss, I'm leaving now. Please contact me often in the future."
Su Yun nodded.
Looking at Lampard's back, Su Yun suddenly shouted at him: "Frank!"
Lampard turned his head in confusion.
"Don't care too much about what people around you say. You are the best. You have to have confidence in yourself. I believe in you."
Hearing Su Yun's words, Lampard suddenly felt the urge to cry.
He has been working hard to change the minds of West Ham United fans. He thought that as long as he worked hard, West Ham United fans would eventually understand him and support him. But it was useless.
From the moment Lampard appeared in the first team, West Ham United fans have always treated him with their prejudice.
Lampard sometimes really wants to ask them, why?
But he is a tough guy. He rarely shows it.
Therefore, when he heard Su Yun's words, he felt even more cordial. So he squeezed out a smile and nodded to Su Yun.
I just want to say one thing to Su Yun: Thank you, Tou!
…
After the ten rounds of the English League, many media have begun to re-examine this season's English League.
The ones that attract the most attention are no longer the strong teams in recent years such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea.
But Sunderland, who was unknown before this season.
And there is Su Yun.
After ten rounds of games, Sunderland is still ranked second in the English League. Among the many strong teams ahead, Sunderland's name is very conspicuous.
Sunderland's mortal enemy has also been a strong team in the UK in recent seasons. Even Newcastle, which once competed with Manchester United for the British Championship, did not perform very well. In ten rounds, they had three wins, two draws and five losses, and only scored 11 points.
And Newcastle is very interesting.
The games they won were all by big margins, Southampton 4-0, Coventry 5-1, Nottingham Forest 4-1. But the games they lost were also by big margins, losing to Sunderland 0-4 and 1-1.
Lost four games to Liverpool, lost to Arsenal 0-3, and lost to Tottenham Hotspur 0-3.
It can be described as a big ups and downs.
"Sunderland was ranked third in relegation odds before the season. It was only lower than Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough, and Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough were both newly promoted teams that were promoted together with Sunderland. This is
That's what people thought about Sunderland before the season."
"Even after Sunderland won three consecutive games at the beginning of the season, people's opinions did not change much. When Sunderland drew one and lost two in the next three rounds, all the media were laughing at Sunderland and the Soviet Union.
Yun. They thought that Sunderland was about to fall into a desperate situation. But look at Sunderland now. After ten rounds of games, Sunderland was ranked second in the English League. Below him was Arsenal.
Na, Chelsea, Liverpool, Leeds United."
"Who still thinks that Sunderland will be relegated this season? What people are concerned about now is not whether Sunderland will be relegated this season, but what kind of miracles Sunderland will create in the English League this season?"
Many media outlets have been very positive about Sunderland's achievements.
Because it was so unexpected.
When England was first established, Newcastle once completed a beautiful dark horse legend. But since the strong teams in England began to stabilize, no newly promoted team has been able to enter the top few in the first year of promotion.
Even if a newly promoted team can enter the top ten, it is very successful.
"At the end of ten rounds of English games, Sunderland is ranked second in the English standings. It's a surprising ranking, but if you know Sunderland's schedule, you will be even more surprised."
"In the first ten rounds, Sunderland has already played against the top eight teams in the English standings except Leeds United. It can be said that Sunderland will soon have a few months of easy schedule.
.After beating these strong teams, Sunderland is still ranked second in the UK. Who would have imagined."
"I still remember before the season, someone said that after ten rounds of games, Coach Su and Sunderland will know that England is not the place for them to stay. But now after ten rounds of games, all the strong teams in England already hate Sunderland very much.
We also came here to grab some food, because Sunderland, who they underestimated, is now on par with them."
Faced with Sunderland's outstanding results, many media outlets unanimously praised it.
Although Sunderland had one draw and one loss in the past two rounds, many media believed this was excusable.
Moreover, in the game they lost to Chelsea, the media believed that Sunderland was proud of their defeat. Therefore, except for some media in the British football world who stubbornly continued to blame Su Yun and Sunderland, the other media were all without exception.
Praise for Sunderland's results.
Su Yun is using his achievements step by step to gain a foothold in British football.
Gain a foothold in this extremely conservative and xenophobic British football world.
The local Sunderland fans already regard Su Yun as the best coach. Sunderland's "Echo" even said disgustingly that Su Yun is the most suitable coach for the club in Sunderland in half a century.
Sunderland chairman Murray also boasted in the media about how he had a keen eye for identifying heroes and found Su Yun who was still in the English League Three.
Anyway, Su Yun has really made a name for himself in British football with his strength...)
