The Elland Road Stadium, which has a capacity of 40,000, has been filled by Leeds United fans. Like Ridsdale, Leeds United fans are also very ambitious now.
Finished fourth in the Premier League last season.
Just a little behind third-placed Chelsea.
They almost entered the Champions League last season. Therefore, Leeds United fans are very excited. Their goal is directly to qualify for the Champions League. Of course, they will also dream of winning the Premier League championship.
As Leeds United's performance rises, the appetite of Leeds United fans is also growing.
In their view, the current English football world is just a plaything of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and their four clubs, Leeds United. Even the Premier League championship should be a matter between these clubs.
But now Sunderland, a country bumpkin, puts forward the championship slogan first, which they can't stand.
Do Sunderland dare to dream of the Premier League title?
So when the Sunderland players entered the stadium, they immediately booed.
There were really boos everywhere.
The boos were so loud that everyone in the stadium felt suffocated for a moment.
Buzz!
My ears were full of hissing.
Avid Leeds United fan.
The fanaticism of Leeds United fans is well-known in England. Under the strong management of the English Football Association, Leeds United fans are much better now. When English football hooligans were rampant in the 1970s, Leeds United's "Service Gang" was the representative of English football. The most notorious group of football hooligans.
At that time, Leeds United fans participated in many bloody fights between fans in English football.
Even the current football hooliganism in West Ham United and Millwall is not as notorious as the Leeds United hooligan organization at that time.
"Go to hell, Sunderland!"
"Premier League champion? In the next life!"
"Stop dreaming!"
Leeds United fans can't stop laughing at Sunderland.
"Looking at the reaction of Leeds United fans, I thought there was some serious grudge between Leeds United and Sunderland in history."
Martin Taylor had fun watching the Leeds United fans' reaction.
In English football, Manchester United and Leeds United have the most enemies. Both clubs are teams with a lot of sworn enemies, but Sunderland and Leeds United have never had any conflicts.
"Without further ado, let me introduce to you Leeds United's lineup. Leeds United's goalkeeper is Martin. The defenders from left to right are Ian Hart, Radebe, Woodgate, and Kelly. The midfielders from left to right are Kewell, David Barty, McPhail, Lee Bowyer, Michael Bridges and Alan Smith up front.”
"Sunderland's lineup is goalkeeper Given, defenders from left to right are Michael Gray, Southgate, Lucas Neal, Danny Mills, midfielders from left to right are Duff, Robbie Savage, Jack Williams, Boboski, Quinn and Kevin Phillips up front."
At this time, Su Yun and David O'Reilly also walked out.
David O'Reilly came out first. He received high applause from Leeds United fans as soon as he came out. Leeds United fans are very satisfied with O'Reilly's results last season. In the eyes of Leeds United fans, O'Reilly Leigh is the perfect manager for Leeds United.
It didn't take long for Su Yun to come out.
The Elland Road stadium, which had just been filled with applause, was immediately booed by huge boos.
Su Yun shrugged.
Although Su Yun has been a coach for so long, he has been booed by fans. But this is the first time that he has been booed like this by fans of the visiting team who have nothing to do with him.
The two shook hands awkwardly.
In the past, the two head coaches always bickered. But this time, both of them were very honest.
But now the two people seem to have a hostile relationship.
Neither of them spoke.
David O'Reilly has a good temper, but it does not mean that he has no ambition. Like Ridsdale, David O'Reilly is also very ambitious. His goal is directly towards the Champions League, and he also fantasizes about the Premier League championship.
He has only one goal in mind.
That is their archrival Manchester United.
In the eyes of Leeds United fans, there is only one target to defeat, that annoying Ferguson and Manchester United.
Sunderland?
How many onions does Sunderland have?
…………
Leeds United players are also arrogant.
They also regard Manchester United and Arsenal as their opponents in their hearts.
Despite Sunderland's recent performance, it is not in the eyes of Leeds United players at all.
After the game started, Su Yun did not sit down.
Instead, he stood on the sidelines.
In the past two seasons, Su Yun prefers the feeling of standing more and more.
Standing here you can listen to the cheers of the fans, and you can also hear the boos of the fans.
Whether it's cheers or boos, Su Yun feels it's an inspiration. Standing here, Su Yun can truly feel that he is a coach.
Su Yun, who was standing on the sidelines, had a slight smile on his face.
Although this is Leeds United's home court, Su Yun is not worried at all. Instead, he is very confident. Don't look at the bullishness of Leeds United owner Ridsdale, and their player Bowyer is very confident. But
Su Yun is not afraid of Leeds United at all.
Leeds United has an absolute destiny.
Otherwise, they would have definitely secured a spot in the Champions League last season. They would still have to wait for this season.
Leeds United's strength is completely inferior to Chelsea and Arsenal.
Leeds United is not bad in every position. Whether it is the defense or the forwards, their two wingers are also very good.
Kewell is a more popular player than Duff in the Premier League. Su Yun coached Kewell at Dagenham and thought about Kewell this season. But Su Yun knew that Sunderland simply did not have the strength.
It attracted Cowell, so he took action on Duff.
Although Bowyer has a bad temper, his strength is outstanding.
Whether you put him on the right or in the center, he is currently one of the best midfielders in English football.
Unfortunately, they have one of their weakest links, which is the central midfield position.
David Batty is very strong. Unfortunately, that happened a long time ago. When he was young, David Batty was one of the outstanding defensive midfielders in British football. But now that he is 31 years old, he is in poor condition.
The decline is too fast. As for MacPhail's strength, he is much worse. This game is just a substitute for a quota. Among the current strong teams in the Premier League, Leeds United's midfielder is almost the weakest.
The defense doesn't work, and the offense doesn't work either.
David O'Reilly knows this too.
Therefore, Leeds United played Kewell and Bowyer on the wings, while the center was mainly used for defense. David Batty and McPhail were only used as defensive midfielders and could not step up at all.
So Su Yun is tit for tat, that is, he wants to hit the middle.
Not only that, Su Yun once again showed off his special skills.
Of course, it is also the barbaric tactic criticized by Wenger and Gullit. Each Sunderland player is better than the other in playing barbaric. Lucas Neal, Robbie Savage, and Danny Mills are all very ruthless in their defensive actions.
hot.
And Williams is not considered savage.
His movements are very standard. But who gave Williams a beast-like body? He collides like others, but in the eyes of others, it is a brutal collision because he can easily knock others away.
Therefore, Sunderland's reputation for brutal football style is well deserved.
Sunderland have been very restrained in recent times.
But in this game, when Su Yun asked in the locker room, he hoped that the players would not have any baggage. If they should be bumped, they should be bumped. If they should be shoveled, they should be shoveled.
Directly suppress Leeds United's midfield and frontcourt.
The Sunderland players obeyed Su Yun's words truthfully.
They were not polite at all when facing Kewell, Alan Smith, and Michael Bridges. Alan Smith was not afraid of physical collisions, but Kewell and Michael Bridges were different.
Su Yun has coached Kewell, so he knows deeply about Kewell's strength. But Su Yun also knows Kewell's weaknesses better. Kewell's biggest weakness is his body, and his body is not very bad. But
But he doesn't like too violent collisions.
He prefers light passes and subtle passes.
He will shrink back from tackles that are too fierce. You can say that he is a little scared.
Kewell is the most threatening player in Leeds United's current lineup.
So Su Yun told Danny Mills not to show mercy to Kewell. He also asked Robbie Savage to protect the right wing. As long as Kewell showed signs of cutting inside, he would directly bring him down.
As for Michael Bridges, Su Yun also coached him. He was sold to Leeds United by Su Yun.
He is a technical forward.
His technique is excellent. Whether it's passing, passing or shooting, it all requires skill.
It's a pity that technical players all have a small problem.
Don't like excessive physical contact.
If you have coached a player as a coach, you will know his strengths and weaknesses very well. This is what Su Yun did when he faced Kewell and Bridges. Other coaches know them from the video, but Su Yun has a lot of experience.
Intuitive understanding.
Su Yun could even completely count their shortcomings.
Therefore, they have targeted arrangements to defend them.
Without Kewell and Bridges, Leeds United's attack has already been largely ruined.
After blocking Leeds United's attack, it was Sunderland's attack.
Su Yun adopted the simplest approach again this time.
Find Quinn. Then Ran Williams rushes to the front.
Williams' passing and passing within a small area are indeed not good. But his shots from behind, whether long-range shots or headers, are among the best in the Premier League.
This is what Su Yun used.
"Southgate... passed the ball. Quinn... Williams, he moved the ball to the right... Boboski. Cross!"
"Quinn...pass back! Williams, shoot!"
"I thought this was Leeds United's home stadium and Sunderland would adopt conservative tactics. Unexpectedly, Sunderland started to attack aggressively after just a few minutes of adapting. Sunderland's confidence has really increased this season."
Former Leeds United players have said that they will give Sunderland a good look at Elland Road, but I think this is just a beautiful ideal. They have begun to lag behind on the field."
