After receiving Murray's guarantee, Su Yun began to identify the players he was interested in./.qb5,/
Su Yun also took the risk.
Yes.
The current Sunderland still has many flaws. If you want to grow the team's strength quickly, the best way is to spend money to buy players in the transfer market. This is the most direct and effective way.
Su Yun also thought about it.
After you spend money to buy players, as long as the club's performance is good, the value of the players you bought will definitely rise. Even the value of many young players will also rise accordingly. I am not cheating Sunderland by doing this.
Murray.
The most important thing is the results.
As long as the results come out, the money will not be wasted.
This time, I must buy good players who can improve the team's strength.
However, Su Yun has no intention of taking action during the winter transfer.
Su Yun will still have to play with the current lineup for the remaining games.
Normally it is not obvious, but during the intensive schedule, the shortcomings of Sunderland's defense are undoubtedly exposed. Especially Melville, his strength is not very bad. But compared with Sunderland's current ranking,
But it's much worse.
And more importantly, Sunderland currently does not have many defensive players to rotate.
Compared with the sufficient player reserves in the midfield and frontcourt, Sunderland has too few outstanding substitute players in the backcourt. Even the strength of the main players is limited, let alone the substitute players. In addition, although Su Yun has played the Christmas schedule
, but this is the first time in the top league.
Somewhat uncomfortable.
In the four games from December 26th to January 17th, Sunderland's results were much worse than before.
It only defeated Southampton 3-1 in an away game. In the remaining three games, it actually got a record of one draw and two losses. Among them, it tied with Newcastle in the away game and lost to Arsenal and Manchester United in succession. In this wave of intensive schedule,
, it was another game on a devilish schedule, with only one win, one draw and two losses.
The ranking has also slipped from third place to fifth place in the English League.
And when they participated in the third round of the FA Cup, Sunderland faced Blackburn away and were eliminated by them 1-0.
The magic at the beginning of the season began to slowly fade away.
Su Yun is increasingly dissatisfied with the team's defense.
On January 27, after a wave of sluggish performance, Sunderland ushered in the League Cup semi-finals.
Sunderland face Leicester City in the League Cup semi-finals, and Tottenham face Wimbledon Athletic.
Su Yun had no scruples about the fact that there was another English league game four days later.
By sending out all the main players in this game, Su Yun's goal has been fully demonstrated.
Although Leicester City eliminated Leeds United in the fourth round of England, their strength was average. They were able to eliminate Leeds United at that time mainly because O'Reilly did not pay attention to the League Cup. The owner of Leeds United, Ridsdale, is very ambitious.
, the goal is to enter the Champions League and show off its ambitions.
Competitions like the League Cup are not in his eyes at all.
His requirement is to achieve good results in the league.
O'Reilly, of course, obeyed Ridsdale's ideas.
Therefore, O'Reilly did not pay attention to the League Cup at all. Therefore, he came on as a substitute in the League Cup. He was eliminated by Leicester City.
But Sunderland is different.
Sunderland played all the main players this time. Although the recent league results have not been good, especially conceding a lot of goals, Su Yun used all his energy to enter the League Cup final.
The difference in strength is obvious.
When Sunderland went all out, Leicester City simply couldn't stop Sunderland's attack.
Sunderland defeated Leicester City with a clean score of 4-1 at home.
One foot has fully entered the League Cup final.
…………
The English League Cup is the cup with the lowest value in England and is not even ranked high in European football.
But it aroused great interest in China.
Because as predicted by the English media, China also predicts that the League Cup is the most likely championship for Sunderland this season.
The impact of a championship is never the same.
Perhaps in the minds of English fans, having the opportunity to play in the Champions League is more important than winning the League Cup. Just like Murray, he hopes that Sunderland can enter the top three this season and qualify for the Champions League more than winning the League Cup.
Because the Champions League is becoming more and more important.
Especially economically.
But to Chinese fans, none of this matters.
Although the League Cup is the lowest-valued trophy in England, Chinese fans don't think so. With a championship, Su Yun will be a champion coach in the eyes of Chinese fans.
Before this, domestic newspapers rarely reported on the League Cup.
Their eyes are also focused on the league.
Including when CCTV is doing programs, the competition content is all about the league.
Chinese football also completely ignored the League Cup at that time.
Clubs in England don't pay attention to the League Cup, let alone China. But when Sunderland entered the semi-finals of the League Cup, everyone's interest came out. And Sunderland lost 4-1 in the first round of the semi-finals.
After the victory over Leicester City, this interest was even stronger.
Many fans hope that a Chinese TV station can broadcast the League Cup final live.
Chinese fans currently cannot watch English League Cup matches.
Because the several local TV stations that currently broadcast the English League have bought the broadcasts of the English League. As for games like the League Cup, fans don't have much interest. Therefore, the TV stations have not bought these games.
Now suddenly the market for the League Cup has surged, and fans are asking to watch the League Cup final.
Many TV stations have received calls from fans.
Fans hope to see the League Cup final.
…………
"What's the score like over there?"
Su Yun stood on the sidelines and looked at the court very relaxedly.
This is the second game of the League Cup semi-finals. Sunderland faces Leicester City away from home.
Is Su Yun very courageous?
No.
Su Yun is not very courageous at all.
Although Sunderland had already defeated Leicester City with a score of 4 to 1 in the first game, Su Yun did not dare to be careless in this game. He still sent out most of the main lineup because Su Yun was afraid of showing up.
What an accident.
If it reaches the League Cup final, it will be the first time Su Yun has entered the final since he became the coach.
Therefore, Su Yun was afraid of any accidents.
Apparently Su Yun was overly worried.
After Leicester City lost the first game, they never thought about a comeback. Leicester City was completely self-aware and knew that a comeback was impossible. Therefore, half of the lineup were substitute players.
The current match on the field is one to zero.
Sunderland one, Leicester City zero.
Sunderland leads Leicester City 5-1 on aggregate.
Reaching the League Cup final is a sure thing.
"Tottenham are leading 1-0."
Cotterill replied with an unhappy look.
Su Yun nodded.
In the last game, Tottenham lost Wimbledon 0-0 at home, and now Tottenham leads 1-0. It seems that Tottenham are the opponent in the League Cup final.
Su Yun also felt a little unhappy.
Of course, Su Yun and Cotterill are even more looking forward to Wimbledon entering the final.
Although the Kuang Gang once had a myth.
is a true myth.
The myth of the Mad Gang is unmatched by any club in English football. In thirteen years, they have been promoted from the Southern Amateur League to the English top league.
Especially in just a few years from the 1982-1983 season to the 1986-1987 season, the myth of being promoted from the fourth-level league to the top league was realized.
Of course, more myths appear in the FA Cup.
In the 1988 FA Cup final, the Mad Gang defeated Liverpool, who were at the height of their power at the time.
This is a true myth.
At that time, the Mad Gang was truly famous in British football.
But now Wimbledon is no longer the crazy gang it was back then.
Strength has dropped a lot.
If he chooses Su Yun, he will definitely choose Wimbledon as his opponent in the final.
But it seems it should be Tottenham.
But the game there is not over, and the difference is only one goal. There is still a lot of suspense on their side. But there is no suspense on Sunderland's side at all.
Mortensen, who was commentating on this game, was yawning profusely.
The game is so boring.
After Sunderland took a one-goal lead, they were not in a hurry to attack. Anyway, the lead was so big, Sunderland players had to maintain their physical strength. Leicester City was already desperate, and it was impossible to be four goals behind now. There is no possibility of getting it back.
So much so that the game was boring.
It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle to end the game that Mortensen cheered up and woke up from his hazy state.
"The second game of the League Cup semi-finals is over. Sunderland defeated Leicester City 1-0 away from home, and the total score in the two legs was 5-1. Sunderland has entered the League Cup final this season. The last time Sunderland reached the League Cup final was fourteen years ago in the 8485 season. At that time, Sunderland also reached the League Cup final, but unfortunately lost to Norwich City 0-1."
"After a lapse of fourteen years, Sunderland has entered the League Cup final again. And this is the first time that Sunderland's young coach Su Yun has led the team to the cup final. If Sunderland wins League Cup champion. So this is also the first time coach Su Yun has won the championship in his coaching career."
"In another game, Tottenham defeated Wimbledon Athletic 1-0. The opponents in the League Cup final are Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur."
…………
"they are……"
After Su Yun finished the team's training that day, he went home and found that there were many more people at home.
Talking with them.
Although they haven't said anything yet, Su Yun could tell at a glance that these were reporters. And they were all reporters from China.
Su Yun has met many domestic reporters this year.
But this was the first time I saw so many domestic reporters at once.
"Coach Su, hello."
"Hello, Coach Su."
"Brother Su, long time no see."
Several people in the family greeted Su Yun in a hurry.
Su Yun could only nod passively. Then he turned his head and looked...)
