"I remember coach Su Yun once said that he wanted a brain surgeon to take a look at Quinn.//,qb5,\\To see if there is a radar installed in Quinn's head. I don't think there is a need for expert analysis from brain surgery.
, it’s absolutely obvious. I can definitely say that Quinn’s head is equipped with the most advanced radar system in the world.”
Martin Taylor laughed.
"Yeah. Quinn's header is a cruise missile."
Because in the 32nd minute of the game, Quinn once again used his wonderful header pass.
Very magical.
It's really amazing.
Quinn's header is like having eyes. Although Su Yun has coached Quinn for more than two years and has even seen Quinn's header level in training. But sometimes even Su Yun feels magical
.
Why is Quinn's header so good?
Every time Quinn heads the ball, the ball really seems to have a navigator. A simple header can wonderfully find the loopholes in the opponent's defense.
Same this time.
It was another pass from the backcourt. Quinn made a gentle ferry pass and passed the ball into the space between the opponent's left back and center back.
It happened to be in the path Bobosky was running.
Although it was a header, the ball was passed so comfortably. Boboski didn't even need to stop the ball to adjust, he just faced the incoming ball and kicked it.
Samburu's goalkeeper didn't react at all.
"Do you want to know the loopholes in the opponent's defense? It's very simple, as long as you keep an eye on Quinn. Because Quinn's heading route is the loophole in the opponent's defense." It's already a restart. But Martin Taylor is concerned about
Quinn's praise is still not over.
"Although it is a two-leg match, it seems that Sunderland should easily pass the first round of the UEFA Cup. The strength gap between the two teams is really too big."
There is indeed a huge gap in strength.
So much so that Su Yun had some regrets.
I was too fussy before. I thought it was a UEFA Cup game, so I took it very seriously. Even in the last league game, I changed a lot of main players. It was because I paid too much attention to this UEFA Cup game.
It's a bit funny now that I think about it.
Apart from the different name, the UEFA Cup competition is actually no different from the Premier League. It is just the same football match. As long as it is a football match, it must follow the rules of football matches.
A club from Moldova deserves such attention.
The strength is not of the same magnitude at all.
If you pay too much attention to it, you will lose your sense of normalcy.
Even if he is half the main force and half a substitute, he can still win against Samburu.
Samburu's head coach is very passionate.
Although the score was behind and the situation was passive, he was not affected at all. After the game started, he continued to direct the team's offense from the sidelines.
There is a big difference in strength.
But it seems that he is not satisfied with being behind in the game at all.
Keep telling the team to press forward.
Su Yun looked at him and didn't know whether he should praise the coach for being fearless or laugh at him for not overestimating his abilities. Anyway, the weak Samburu didn't play conservatively at all. Instead, he felt like he was going all out.
Su Yun shook his head.
But Su Yun likes this kind of team.
Because in an open game, Sunderland's two wings can give full play to their advantages.
Only eight minutes into the second half, Sunderland relied on Quinn's header to extend the score to 3-0.
It was Bobosky's breakthrough.
Because the two sides played very openly, the opponent's defense was not tight at all.
There are many various loopholes.
Fast wide players like Boboski like this kind of game. He made a wonderful breakthrough, followed by a beautiful cross.
Quinn was the defender who overpowered Samburu and scored Sunderland's third goal of the game.
"Promoted. There is no doubt that Sunderland will not have any problems in advancing."
After scoring the third goal, Su Yun had already started to make substitutions.
This game is too important to me.
Actually, bullshit is not.
Su Yun wants important players to take a rest.
When Quinn came off the field, all the fans stood up and applauded him.
Su Yun looked at Quinn with some regret.
Quinn, who is so outstanding, is already thirty-three years old. If Quinn was so outstanding at the age of 23, I believe he can even challenge the status of the world's number one center.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Su Yun had already begun to stop, but in the 82nd minute, Sunderland once again relied on a long shot from Barry, who came on the bench, to turn the score into 4-0.
It's so easy.
…………
"Four to zero!"
Sunderland's "Echo" wrote a big "Four to zero!" on its front page.
In it they praise how good Sunderland are.
First, he praised Su Yun, who has been coaching Sunderland for more than two years. He almost listed all of Su Yun's performance in the past two years. He praised Su Yun to the highest level in the world. He said that Su Yun is the best player in British football.
The most outstanding head coach at the moment.
Then there is praise for the Sunderland players.
Almost praising everyone by name. Who is so and so, how outstanding they are.
The content inside is very disgusting.
And he also expressed at length how this UEFA Cup is the second European competition after such a long time.
The celebrations by Sunderland fans across the country continued for several days.
For Sunderland fans, it was too long to come to the European competition again after 26 years. This joy was like falling from the sky, making all Sunderland fans unable to control themselves.
That's why they were so happy to defeat Samburu in the first game of the UEFA Cup.
However, the British football media's reaction was average.
For Sunderland's League Cup match it was just a few small prints reporting the score.
It is.
There are four teams competing in the UEFA Cup in the Premier League this time, Leeds United, Newcastle United, West Ham United and Sunderland.
Leeds United is fourth in the Premier League, Sunderland is the League Cup champion, Newcastle is the FA Cup runner-up, and West Ham United is the Intertoto Cup champion.
In addition to these four teams participating in the UEFA Cup, there are also three teams participating in the Champions League: Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
Compared with the Champions League, the UEFA Cup's gold content is completely insufficient.
At this time, the small first round of the UEFA Cup is not enough to attract their attention. It is not as good as the Premier League, or even the domestic cup competition.
There are two completely different situations inside Sunderland and outside.
The Sunderland locals took this game extremely seriously and cheered for this victory. But outside it was quiet. No one cared about this game at all.
A very interesting situation.
…………
However, the British football media's silence on Sunderland only lasted four days.
On September 18, 1999, the eighth round of the Premier League began.
After a devilish schedule, Sunderland's current schedule is relatively easy. But what surprised many media is that Sunderland faced tough battles in the first five rounds of the Premier League. However, Sunderland won five consecutive victories.
But the opponents in the next two rounds were very weak.
Unexpectedly, Sunderland only got two draws.
So much so that some media ridiculed Sunderland as a hero who "robbed the rich and gave to the poor".
This time Sunderland is away to challenge Derby County.
Although not as good as upstarts like Blackburn, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, and Coventry, Derby County has been able to get to this point because of the constant blood transfusions of their boss. Their boss is not actually a rich man.
.
It is completely incomparable to billionaires like Jack Walker and Sir Hall.
But their courage in the transfer market is not inferior to theirs.
In the past two seasons, Derby County has spent more than 20 million pounds in the transfer market. For a small club like Derby County, investing more than 10 million pounds is already a lot. Now it is more than 20 million pounds. Even more than
Their boss’s net worth.
But investing money in the transfer market is a double-edged sword.
Some clubs succeed and some fail.
It is a pity that Derby County did not follow the successful path of Blackburn and Newcastle, but began to follow the path of Middlesbrough and Coventry.
The results were very good at the beginning.
But as the investment became larger and larger, the results began to decline.
Derby County's results this season have been very poor.
In the first seven rounds, there were one win, two draws and four losses, with only five points.
It is estimated that their boss has started to cry in a corner building. Because these investments are full of huge loopholes, even if their Derby County club is sold, it will not be worth a lot of money.
Derby County has spent huge sums of money to introduce many South American stars in the past two years.
This is also an important reason for Derby County's decline in performance.
South American stars are indeed very skilled.
The personal skills of their ordinary players are far better than those of local players in England. Like Joe Cole, who was boasted by the English media, his personal skills are outstanding among local players in England. But among South American players, players with this kind of skills abound.
But that doesn’t mean you’re great because you have good skills.
Because the game is not about comparing someone's skills. England's local players are not as skilled as South America's players, but England's players are very adaptable to the tough and fast playing style of the Premier League. On the contrary, South American players are obsessed with the skills at their feet and are very accustomed to the rhythm of the Premier League.
Not adaptable.
The same goes for this game.
In terms of personal skills, many Derby County players are even better than Sunderland players. Unfortunately, if they are played together, the difference is endless.
Sunderland are a bunch of tough guys.
What I like to deal with the most during the game is the skilled players.
Facing the wolf-like Sunderland players, Derby County simply couldn't resist it at their home court.
Sunderland, who had two consecutive draws, performed extremely well in this game.
Quinn scored one goal, Phillips scored two goals, Duff scored one goal, and Southgate scored one goal. In the end, Sunderland defeated Derby County 5-0 in the away game, sweeping away two consecutive draws.
Yin haze.
Manchester United, which kicked off at the same time, was tied 1-1 at home by Wimbledon Athletic.
As a result, Sunderland and Manchester United have the same points, and Sunderland once again ranks first in the Premier League with its goal difference advantage.
What is scenery?
Su Yun at this time is called scenery.
UEFA Cup victory. No one cares at all. The English media almost ignores the UEFA Cup.
But the Premier League is different.
When Sunderland once again overtook Manchester United and became first in the Premier League, the entire English football world kept praising Sunderland and Su Yun.
Su Yun once again became the focus of attention of all British media.
"News of the World" finally said this sentence after writing about Su Yun.
"The biggest topic in British football is Su Yun. He just got a $400,000-a-year endorsement contract with Coca-Cola, and now he has become a supporting team of the Premier League. Su Yun is now having a smooth career and no shortage of money. He is really prosperous.
