237 UEFA Cup Journey

Although many people say that Su Yun controls the dressing room well. Because Dagenham and Sunderland under Su Yun's guidance rarely break out so-called conflicts. Indeed, Dagenham under Su Yun's command,

Sunderland haven't had any big scandals like other teams.

Dagenham's main reason is that its influence is too small. No one pays attention to it. Even if there is something going on in the locker room, it will not be known to the media.

But Sunderland has received a lot of media attention.

Many Sunderland players are considered bad men and have bad tempers. However, Sunderland has never had a locker room scandal in more than two seasons.

So everyone thinks that Su Yun is very good at controlling the locker room.

In fact, the biggest reason why Su Yun can control the locker room is because Su Yun has a good temper.

Su Yun treated those players like a good old man.

But when it comes to handling crises, Su Yun's methods are too poor.

Faced with such a sudden blow, Su Yun's reaction was not very good, or rather poor. After nearly half a month, he failed to appease the locker room. He also failed to restore the confidence of Sunderland players.

Su Yun also worked hard.

It's a pity that the effect is not good.

But as the players slowly accepted it, several games passed in a blink of an eye.

In the fifteenth round of the Premier League, Sunderland faced England's top giants Liverpool at home.

After the establishment of the Premier League, Liverpool's performance was not very good.

Compared with their distinguished history, it is really poor. Last season, Liverpool invited Houllier to coach together with Evans. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. In the end, the two of them

Various conflicts arose during the joint coaching. They had different views on many issues. In the end, Evans was forced to leave Liverpool and became Houllier's sole coach.

After coaching alone, Houllier was finally able to express his own ideas.

Houllier has been on a lot of action this summer.

In the transfer market, there are frequent recruitments.

It's a pity that Liverpool's performance in the Premier League this season is not very outstanding. In the fourteen rounds, they have seven wins, three draws and four losses, accumulating 24 points.

Sunderland, on the other hand, had ten wins and four draws in fourteen rounds, with a total of 34 points. This is because Sunderland has been affected in the last two games. That's why they stopped winning. Even so, Sunderland

Lan is still ten points ahead of Liverpool.

If it were before, Su Yun would not really be afraid of Liverpool.

It should be the other way around, because Liverpool don't want to face a team as strong as Sunderland.

Liverpool is England's richest club.

But that is the achievement of his ancestors.

Liverpool's current strength is really not as strong as Sunderland's.

But this time it was not the right time.

After two consecutive draws, Sunderland's morale took a big hit. It was originally seven points ahead of Manchester United, but after two rounds of games, it only had three points left. Manchester United's condition is also quite good.

When Sunderland drew two consecutive games, they first defeated Leicester City 2-0 at home, and then defeated Derby County 2-1 away from home.

The gap with Sunderland is getting smaller and smaller.

In the game that just ended, Manchester United swept Everton 5-1. The points are already the same as Sunderland, only because of the goal difference disadvantage, they are ranked second.

This puts a lot of pressure on Sunderland.

Although Su Yun never mentioned the Premier League championship, with the help of the media, Sunderland players also fantasized about the Premier League championship. After any team leads the second place by seven points, if the players

I never thought about winning the league title, it was simply impossible. The Sunderland players were indeed fantasy champions at the time.

But now that Manchester United is so pressing, Sunderland players are even more nervous.

This time I met Liverpool.

Although Liverpool's results are not very good, they have the dignity of a giant, so when they encounter strong teams, they can often explode with amazing strength. Now when they encounter Sunderland, they have excellent results, but they are like a nouveau riche.

Of course they will not show mercy to rising teams.

Even more proactive than in previous games.

Facing Liverpool with this kind of mentality, Sunderland can only be in tragedy.

Sunderland was defeated by Owen who was out of form and scored two goals in a row. However, Sunderland failed to break through Liverpool's goal and suffered a 0-2 defeat at home.

This was also Sunderland's first defeat in the Premier League this season.

Sunderland's 14-match unbeaten run in the Premier League this season came to an end.

After the game, many media focused on the current Sunderland.

Some are regretful, some are gloating, and some are anxious. But no matter which opinion they are, their views are almost unanimous. That is, Sunderland will definitely not win the Premier League championship this season. If we talk about it before the game against Tottenham

, Sunderland's championship hopes are still quite high.

Then Sunderland's performance dropped sharply after that.

Manchester United has won three consecutive games in three rounds and earned nine points. However, Sunderland has only scored two draws and one loss in three league rounds. The original seven-point advantage has now been wiped out.

This state is completely different from the current state of Manchester United.

There are also voices criticizing Su Yun in the media.

They all think Su Yun is too young.

Faced with sudden changes, they lacked proper response measures. They believe that Sunderland's decline in performance during this period has a lot to do with Su Yun's youth and lack of experience.

Anyway, to use one sentence to prove that Sunderland now is in danger.

…………

Fortunately, Sunderland had a long break after this game.

The fifteenth round of the Premier League will be played on November 11th. The sixteenth round of the Premier League will not start until November 28th.

That means there is almost a two-week break.

This made Su Yun let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, he can take a breather. What Su Yun lacks most now is time. The competition during this period is too intensive. Su Yun is not given any time to adjust. With these two weeks, Su Yun believes that he will be able to adjust.

The status of Sunderland players.

At this time, Su Yun couldn't wait to go up and flatter the FA.

Su Yun really likes the arrangement of this Premier League schedule. It's like adjusting time specifically for Sunderland players.

But there is also a UEFA Cup game in between. It is the second game of the second round of the UEFA Cup.

Su Yun led Sunderland to Germany and Kaiserslautern.

This is Su Yun's first time in Germany.

This is the most developed country in Europe. My previous impression of Germany was entirely learned in history classes.

After coming to England, Su Yun usually looked for players in China. Mainly because the clubs where Su Yun played were small clubs.

Needless to say Dagenham.

It is a semi-amateur club.

Scouting system?

Not at all.

The same is true after arriving at Sunderland. Sunderland's scouting system does not take into account other countries at all. Sunderland is only an English club. It is not an English powerhouse. Therefore, Sunderland's scouting system can control The number of players is limited and they are all limited to England.

So Su Yun has been in England for almost four years. But he has never paid attention to leagues and players in other countries.

Little is known about German players.

I only know that German players have strong tactical execution, they are very self-disciplined, etc.

I basically don't know the others.

Kaiserslautern?

If he hadn't played against him, Su Yun wouldn't have paid attention to Kaiserslautern. Although this club had just completed a dark horse legend.

Rehagel led Kaiserslautern to complete a promotion legend. Just after promotion, they won the Bundesliga championship as a newly promoted team. This miracle is known as the "Kaiserslautern Myth".

But Su Yun had only heard of this.

What kind of players do Kaiserslautern have? How good are they? Su Yun has no idea.

It was because they were drawn together this time that Su Yun paid attention to Kaiserslautern.

Compared with Kaiserslautern, which won the Bundesliga championship two years ago, Kaiserslautern's current strength has dropped a lot.

After analyzing Kaiserslautern's strength, Su Yun was very happy at first.

Because after analysis, Su Yun believes that Kaiserslautern is not a strong team now. Its strength is completely inferior to Sunderland.

As long as they perform normally, Sunderland can defeat Kaiserslautern and enter the top 32 of the UEFA Cup.

This was Su Yun's original analysis.

Unfortunately, what happened next was beyond Su Yun's control.

Affected by the domestic competition, Sunderland was defeated by Kaiserslautern 0-2 at home in the first game.

It almost announced Sunderland's elimination from the League Cup.

Although there is still a second game, it is not easy to come back after losing two goals at home.

Su Yun really wanted to come back this time when they came to the away game. Unfortunately, the demoralized Sunderland failed to win in Kaiserslautern. Instead, they lost again 1-2. Sunderland's total score was 1-4, even in the league. Didn't even get past the second round of the Cup.

Su Yun was very disappointed.

Su Yun originally hoped to show off his skills in the UEFA Cup, but he didn't expect that his UEFA Cup trip ended after only playing two rounds.

Even a few flutters will do.

This was Su Yun's first trip to Europe, but it left him with huge regrets.

What is disappointment? This is disappointment.

Not only was Su Yun disappointed, the entire Sunderland team was disappointed.

Now most of the Sunderland players are playing in European competitions for the first time. They all want to show their talents in the UEFA Cup, but it is a pity that they were eliminated by Kaiserslautern in such a useless way, which is always difficult to accept.

He was very disappointed, but Su Yun couldn't show it.

In the past month, Sunderland's performance has been quite poor. At this time, Su Yun cannot show that kind of disappointment again.

Because this will affect the players.

Su Yun knew that if Sunderland continued to deteriorate like this, this season would really be over.

Sunderland must cheer up.
