After the introduction of Southgate and Duff, the team's puzzle is almost over.//.qΒ5,
Of course it would be better if you have a good midfielder.
But a good defensive midfielder is not easy to find.
There are not many players who are both cheap and useful like Hamann. Other better players are expensive, but the ones who are cheaper are not as good as Robbie Savage. He is a player with strong defensive ability in the midfield.
It's not that easy to find.
Although Savage has some positioning problems, as a defensive midfielder with strong sweeping ability, he is still very useful in the Premier League.
You can't always expect everyone to be Keane and Vieira.
Keane and Vieira are not only difficult to find, but Sunderland cannot afford the transfer fee if they find them. Even if Sunderland can afford the transfer fee, it is impossible for players of this level to come to Sunderland.
Although Southgate was introduced, Su Yun never thought of selling Melville. As many media said, although Melville is not a Sunderland youth training player, he has been with Sunderland for many seasons.
.
He has been following Sunderland through their ups and downs in the past few years, and he can be considered a hero of Sunderland.
Moreover, Melville is used to life in Sunderland and is unwilling to leave Sunderland. Melville also knows what Soyun means by buying Southgate, but he is still willing to stay in Sunderland.
Before the start of the season, Su Yun took Southgate and Duff to attend press conferences and fan meetings.
He stood in the middle, Southgate and Duff stood on both sides.
Su Yun was very happy.
"Coach Su, is Sunderland's transfer over?"
A reporter asked a question that many reporters wanted to ask. Sunderland had already bought Southgate and Duff. There were even rumors that Sunderland and Liverpool were competing for Hamann. But it didn't succeed in the end.
So reporters want to know what other tricks Su Yun has besides Southgate and Duff.
Sunderland are very strong now.
If Hamann is really snatched up, Sunderland's lineup will be very strong.
Even if they cannot compete with Manchester United and Arsenal for the Premier League championship, they will not lose to other strong teams in terms of main lineup. Even the thickness of the bench will not be much worse than Arsenal, and may be better than Arsenal.
"Yes. I have closed Sunderland's transfer window."
"We heard Haman..."
Some time ago, Su Yun was busy in the transfer market and did not accept interviews from reporters. Many reporters have their own news channels, but they are far inferior to Su Yun himself.
"Yes. I was indeed interested in Hamann, but it was just an interest. Robbie is a very outstanding defensive midfielder, and he is fully qualified for his current position." Although Su Yun originally wanted to buy Hamann, but after
Reporters can't say that in front of them.
Although everyone knows what's going on, they can't admit it.
If he admits it, how will he go to see Robbie Savage in the future? Even if they don't say it on the face, they will still have some knots in their hearts.
"So Sunderland only have two transfers this season, Southgate and Duff?"
Su Yun nodded.
"Gareth and Damien are the kind of players who can make a qualitative difference in a team's strength immediately. I am very happy to have the opportunity to coach outstanding players like Gareth and Damien."
Su Yun's words came from the heart.
"Gareth should have gone to a wealthy club a long time ago. He has the strength to be the main force of a wealthy club. It's just that he is unlucky. But he is unlucky. So my luck is very good. Because of this, I can have Gareth like me.
An outstanding player. With Gareth, I believe Sunderland's defense will be more solid."
"Gareth will definitely be a championship player. He should win more championships. I believe that with Gareth, our Sunderland will not be satisfied with just one League Cup championship."
Southgate listened to Su Yun's praise and just smiled softly.
Southgate's character is the same as his performance on the field. He is very calm. Moreover, Southgate has a good temper. There has been no negative news for so many years since his debut. He is very low-key.
No matter where he goes, he is not the kind of person who stands out.
"As for Damien, I have to say that he is a rare talented player. At the age of 18, he has the same strength as an ordinary player at his peak at 28 years old. Although he is only 20 years old, he already has two players.
Season of Premier League experience.”
"As long as he stays in the Premier League for one or two seasons, I believe Damien will definitely become the best attacking player in the Premier League."
In fact, most of the so-called media meetings for new players are like this.
It is when the new players express in front of the media how flattered they are to come to the new club. Or they compliment the coach of the new club. Or they praise the history of the new club. The head coach praises how outstanding the new players are.
How happy I am for their arrival.
It's all the same process.
But everyone enjoyed it.
Su Yun's media meeting this time also went through the same process.
After Su Yun praised Southgate and Duff, the two of them also spoke highly of Su Yun.
Hello everyone, hello, hello everyone.

Su Yun spent more than 15 million pounds to buy Southgate and Duff. Of course, it was not for good looks.
Both men broke Sunderland's historical transfer fee record.
Since so much money was spent, of course it was for the main purpose.
Su Yun also tried various playing styles during the warm-up match. The central defender changed the most. Southgate’s strength must occupy a main position. Although Su Yun bought Southgate, it was for
Let him team up with Lucas Neal.
But it's just Su Yun's idea.
Still need to test.
Su Yun tried the partnership of Southgate and Lucas Neal, and also tried the partnership of Southgate and Melville.
In the end, Su Yun decided to use the cooperation between Southgate and Lucas Neal.
Lucas Neal is very aggressive and has extremely strong frontal defense capabilities. However, he has a mediocre sense of position and can easily lose his position. Southgate is his strength in this aspect.
Southgate has a calm personality, is calm and calm on the court, and has excellent awareness.
He relies on consciousness to survive.
The gap left by Lucas Neal was filled by Southgate perfectly.
Of course, Lucas Neal lacks experience now, so he loses positions more often. But as Lucas Neal’s experience increases, such lost positions will become less and less. By then, the combined strength of the two will be
Definitely much more than now.
Southgate is indeed very strong.
It was easy to occupy Sunderland's main position.
Duff has some problems.
Of course, the problem is not big, it is even a good sign. The main problem is the cooperation between Williams and Duff. Because he has just arrived at Sunderland, Williams is not yet accustomed to Duff's style of play.
When Duff first came to Sunderland, he knew that Sunderland's core midfielder was Williams.
Although Duff is young, he is more mature than anyone else.
And Duff is a good person.
I stick to Williams every day and have to cooperate with Williams.
Williams didn't have many friends on the team.
It should be said that apart from playing football together, he has very few friends. It’s not that he is arrogant, but that he is shy. He does not take the initiative to make friends, and usually makes friends passively. After playing football for so many years, except
Except for a few people, everyone else couldn't stand Williams' introverted personality, so he had few friends.
The last person who had a pretty good relationship with Williams was probably Lampard.
Now we have Duff again.
Duff relies on Williams every day.
Su Yun even sometimes talks to Duff when he sees Williams.
This is rare for Williams.
Anyway, Su Yun likes to see such changes. So when arranging training, he often arranges for them to train together. Su Yun hopes that Williams can be more cheerful, but this is not what Su Yun can do.
Su Yun hopes that Williams can be as cheerful as Duff.
Duff has been at Sunderland for less than a month and is already a player that everyone likes within Sunderland.
Although Sunderland is a small club, there are no cliques like the big clubs. But where there are people, there are gangs, and Sunderland will also have various small groups within it.
The one person who can be so versatile and well-liked by almost everyone is probably Dafu.
This is a skill.
Time passed slowly like this.
In addition to training, I also play some warm-up matches.
Su Yun has a lot of expectations for the new season. Su Yun can't wait to play against the top players in the Premier League to see Sunderland's current strength.
Time slowly came to August.
The Premier League is also getting closer.
But this season has another cheating schedule. As soon as the schedule came out, Su Yun almost cursed. There will be a total of six games in the Premier League in August, six games in 22 days. Almost every four days.
game.
What's more important is that in the first six games, Sunderland will play four strong teams: Chelsea, Arsenal, Leeds United, and Newcastle.
No matter how you look at it, it is an infuriating schedule.
It's just as annoying as last season.
But Su Yun is much calmer than last season.
There is even an idea of playing the game quickly...)
