Just after receiving the penalty, Sunderland came to Moldova.
Because we have to play the second game of the first round of the UEFA Cup.
After getting rid of the annoying rainy weather in England, we came to Moldova. At this time, Moldova turned out to be warm and pleasant, the weather was very good, making people feel very comfortable.
Moldova is a country located in northern southeastern Europe.
Su Yun thought that since Moldova was a member of the Soviet Union, the weather should be very cold. Su Yun's biggest impression of the Soviet Union or Russia, besides being a superpower and a large country, was the cold weather.
Biting cold.
Just look at history and you will know.
Whether it was Napoleon or later Hitler, the most difficult thing for their troops to overcome after entering Russia was the cold.
One cold weather made Russia invincible.
After entering Russia, the armies of many countries have difficulty adapting to Russia's cold weather.
But the weather in Moldova is great.
This surprised Su Yun.
But after listening to the introduction by others, I realized that I was really ignorant. Moldova borders Romania and Ukraine and has a temperate continental climate. Atlantic cyclones blow a lot of humid and warm air to Moldova, but sometimes they also bring moisture-filled air.
Mediterranean heat waves can even generate summer heavy rains in Moldova. Large amounts of dry air blowing from the southeast often cause droughts, and arctic cold air that can cause early autumn or late autumn cold currents rarely invades Moldova. This climate gives people the feeling that,
It has hot and long summers, long-lasting warm autumns and not-too-cold winters with little snow.
Moreover, Moldova has abundant sunshine and is known as the "Land of Sunshine".
Although it was a small thing, Su Yun realized that there were many, many things that he didn't know.
If it weren't for this time, Su Yun would have thought that Moldova was a very cold country.
Because Sunderland was leading 4-0 in the last game, Su Yun left all the main players in Sunderland for this game. He brought most of the substitutes and some from the Sunderland youth training camp.
Players coming out.
Today is October 29th.
And on October 31st, Sunderland still has a match in the 13th round of the Premier League. It needs to challenge West Ham United away from home.
Only two days left.
Su Yun wanted to scold the FA.
Just like Ferguson.
But Su Yun still held back. The Williams incident had just appeared in Sunderland. At the press conference, Su Yun accused Tarico of being a murderer, which also caused great controversy. Many media believed that Su Yun said
This was inappropriate, and even the FA's press officer believed that Su Yun should not have said such hasty words.
Su Yun was furious at that time.
***, I’m not the only one who said this. Ferguson also said the same thing when he agreed with his opinion. But when the FA criticized it, it was only Su Yun’s name.
Su Yun knew that he and Ferguson were completely incomparable.
The two men have different weights in British football.
So I held back this time.
Ferguson can criticize the unfairness of the schedule. But Su Yun can't say it now, because it is very likely to really anger the FA. In the end, Su Yun will definitely be the unlucky one.
But my heart was completely angry.
What the fuck is this schedule?
When Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea have Champions League games, the FA will even adjust their schedule. But obviously Sunderland does not have such treatment.
Don't talk about the past, let's talk about this season. Several teams played in the Champions League, and there were some conflicts with the Premier League at the beginning. The FA immediately helped them adjust their schedules. Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea all received this kind of care. .
It’s really not about scarcity but about inequality.
Why should they be taken care of?
However, the three of them are also some of the most important clubs in British football at present. Like Liverpool and Leeds United, they are major forces in British football.
Sunderland?
It has no weight compared to them.
He doesn't have any influence in the FA.
None of Sunderland's main players, Su Yun, was brought with him. Of course, he brought one with him, Williams. Williams was only suspended domestically, but could still play in European competitions.
Now it's all a group of substitutes, and even some important substitutes have stayed at Sunderland.
Sunderland completely turned into a baby army.
Williams led this baby army to the away game.
It is really a baby army. Some players even made their first team appearance for the first time, but Samburu's strength is indeed limited. Facing a baby lineup like Sunderland, they did not win a single victory.
Instead, they drew with Sunderland 0-0 at home.
Sunderland also entered the second round of the UEFA Cup with a total score of 4-0 over the two legs.
…………
After the League Cup match, Su Yun couldn't breathe at all. He flew directly to London and arrived at West Ham United in East London.
Because the thirteenth round of the Premier League will be played here soon.
Sunderland faces West Ham United away from home.
Su Yun has a deep impression of West Ham United. When Su Yun was at Dagenham, he went to West Ham United to observe players. He also loaned Lampard from West Ham United.
At that time, Su Yun had coveted West Ham United's youth training camp for a long time.
There are a lot of good players in there.
Many of the players that Su Yun was interested in back then have already taken up the main position. These include Rio Ferdinand, the fastest rising center back in the Premier League, as well as the talented English player Joe Cole and midfielder Frank Lampard.
They have all become West Ham United's main players in their respective positions.
And Redknapp is definitely a good coach.
Last season he led West Ham United, a team that has been struggling with relegation all year round, to fifth place in the Premier League. It was really not easy.
West Ham United's results this season are a little worse than last season, but they are not bad.
In this game, Su Yun replaced Williams with Gareth Barry, and replaced Bobosky with the fast horse Bellamy.
Barry is eighteen years old, but he is very good. Although he is completely inferior to Williams in defense and offense, he also has his own strengths. Barry's biggest strengths lie in his position selection and his passing.
Barry's passing is outstanding.
He is not as good at mid- and long-passing as Williams, but he is very stable whether it is a short pass or a mid-to-long pass. In other words, there are no mistakes.
This is an ability in itself.
Very outstanding ability.
And Bellamy, whether it is experience, technology, passing, shooting. It can be said that Bellamy loses to Boboski in almost every aspect.
Only one thing is better than Boboski.
speed.
Su Yun likes fast players very much. Maybe it's because when he grew up in China, he was obsessed with the so-called forward combination of one tall and one fast. Anyway, Su Yun really appreciates players with speed. He is even obsessed with players with speed.
players.
When he was in China, Hao Haidong and Gao Feng were both forwards that Su Yun admired very much.
Just because of the speed.
This game is Sunderland's first appearance in the Premier League after being hit hard. There are many media paying attention to Sunderland's state, and they want to see if Sunderland can get rid of the impact of the last game.
Let's see if we can get rid of the impact of the absence of two core players.
Su Yun has tried his best to eliminate the influence, but this influence cannot be eliminated in a short time.
More importantly, Su Yun has always built the team around Williams. Williams is the core of Sunderland in both defense and offense.
Although the young Barry is good, he cannot replace Williams' role at all.
Although Su Yun worked very hard in the away game, he only received a one-to-one evaluation.
The result isn't too bad.
Because Sunderland has been undefeated in the Premier League for thirteen rounds.
But everyone has seen Sunderland's weakness. Or it cannot be said that it is weak, it can only be said that it has not yet recovered from the blow.
Manchester United and Leeds United both won this game, narrowing the gap with Sunderland.
Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 3-0 at home, leaving only five points behind Sunderland.
Just four days later, the fourteenth round of the Premier League began.
On November 4th, Sunderland challenged Middlesbrough away.
Middlesbrough's results this season are not bad, but they are not good either. They are hovering between 12th and 15th in the Premier League.
Facing such a weak opponent, Su Yun wanted to use their blood to get rid of the recent bad luck.
But he didn't expect that Su Yun would be hit again.
Facing Middlesbrough away from home, they were beaten with almost no power to fight back.
If Phillips hadn't scored a goal at the last moment, Sunderland could only have suffered a defeat. In the end, Sunderland once again got a dull draw one to one.
Even Mortensen, who was commentating on this game, shook his head.
"David O'Reilly said that when playing against Sunderland, his players ran more than usual because Sunderland had twelve people playing football. He was talking about Williams. In the past, Williams was
I didn't notice it when I was there, but now that Williams is no longer there, I feel how valuable Williams is. Sunderland feels like they are missing something now."
Indeed, without Williams, Sunderland seemed to be missing something.
In the past I just thought Williams could run.
But when Williams was missing, everyone discovered how valuable Williams' running was.
But Sunderland's decline was not over.
On November 6th, two days after the 14th round of the Premier League, Sunderland ushered in the second round of the UEFA Cup.
Facing Kaiserslautern from Germany at home.
Unexpectedly, they were defeated 0-2 by Kaiserslautern at home.
What a sequelae.
In fact, Sunderland is still very strong now, but it has not slowed down for a while. As a young coach, Su Yun's lack of experience is fully exposed. In the Champions League final last season, Manchester United also lacked Keane and Scone.
There are two generals.
But Ferguson's Manchester United were not in a hurry at all.
