Of course it's not an absolute sensation, but after defeating Barcelona 3-0 at home, Chelsea really felt like they had become famous in the European arena.
Chelsea was already a strong team in England before.
Chelsea's Williams and Lampard are both famous players in the Premier League. Both Williams and Lampard have been the main players in the Premier League for several seasons, and their status in English football is not the same.
Low.
The same goes for Su Yun.
Since Su Yun took over Sunderland, Su Yun's influence in British football has also grown.
Especially his outstanding performance in Sunderland made Su Yun become a famous coach in the Premier League. Otherwise, Chelsea's Bates would not come to find Su Yun. And he gave Su Yun such a high salary.
But these are all in English football.
After leaving English football, Su Yun, Williams, and Lampard are all bullshit.
Who knows who you are?
But even if you are a bit arrogant in England, European football will not recognize it.
But after this game, the entire European football world is re-examining several young players from Chelsea. Including Ayala and Solin, who failed in Milan and Juventus, as well as unknown midfielders Williams and
Lampard().
Of course, there is also the Real Madrid abandoned player Eto'o.
However, Eto'o didn't perform much in this game. His biggest performance was his very active defense.
So there are very few comments about him.
The most surprised people in European football are Williams and Lampard.
These two unknown midfielders in European football performed extremely well in this game. It can be said that the two of them perfectly demonstrated what a British midfielder is during the game. They can run, pass, defend and defend.
she. Runs tirelessly in the midfield.
This surprised many people in European football.
Especially Williams.
The 24-year-old Williams came into the attention of European football players for the first time.
Of course it was very late.
Being recognized by the European football community at the age of 24 is no longer very impressive for a player. Nedvěd and Boboski were also recognized by the European football community very late, through 1996
He only became famous after the European Cup.
But there is absolutely no comparison between them.
After all, the Czech Republic is far away from the mainstream European leagues.
It is normal for them to become famous through the national team. But Williams is different.
He is an English player.
The Premier League is also considered one of the mainstream leagues in Europe. However, Williams did not really start playing in the UEFA Cup until he was 24 years old and became known to others.
Therefore, it gave them an even greater surprise ().
They didn't expect there to be such outstanding players in England.
L'Equipe even gave Williams a special feature.
"The most perfect representative of the English midfielder!"
"Jack Williams, a Chelsea midfielder who has just passed his 24th birthday. He is known as the most outstanding defensive midfielder in England. But in the game against Barcelona, he gave us a performance
It’s not just his defensive ability that shines through, but also his excellent running ability, shooting skills, etc.”
"Many people are surprised by Williams' running ability. Because in the game against Barcelona, Williams ran an ultra-long distance of 15,600 meters. But there is no need to be surprised. Because in England, he
Everyone knows about his running ability. His average running distance in the Premier League is about 14,000 meters. He is currently the player with the longest average running distance among all players in the Premier League. So we don’t
Need to be surprised.”
"There is also his shooting ability. This should not surprise everyone. Because in the last four games, he has scored seven goals in a row. Including this game, he has scored in five consecutive games.
.Eight goals in five games, I think even the current European super forwards do not have such efficiency."
"Williams is a very typical English midfielder. What makes him stronger than other English midfielders is that he has a better body, better stamina, better defense, and more powerful shot.
Now his main position is that of a versatile midfielder who can come back when defending and go up when attacking."
"Williams is very comprehensive. He can play as a defender, a midfielder, and even as a forward. When he debuted, he was a right midfielder. At the age of 24, he is reaching his peak. The future Williams will be even more
It’s worth looking forward to.”
"L'Equipe" is one of the most authoritative sports media in Europe. It can even be removed.
Williams' performance impressed L'Equipe.
After L'Equipe boasted about it, Williams' popularity skyrocketed ().
Many people are also surprised.
It turns out that Williams is not a nobody. He scored eight goals in five games. Is this a midfielder?
That's what the media is like.
Once they become interested in someone, they can dig out that person's ancestors for eighteen generations.
When Williams was playing against Barcelona, he blocked Guardio so much that he was unable to organize an offense. He even passed the ball one after another, sinking Barcelona. Therefore, he became the target of all the media's attention.
Of course, when talking about Williams, one must talk about Su Yun.
Su Yun and Williams are almost conjoined.
Because it was Su Yun who brought Williams, who was abandoned by Newcastle, from the English and African League to the current main position of Chelsea. And similarly, Williams also repaid Su Yun's love with his performance.
Thirty-four-year-old head coach.
If many people think that the 24-year-old Williams is too old and less fresh than those stars who became famous when they were young. Then the 34-year-old Chelsea head coach is very young.
The thirty-four-year-old head coach is a very young coach in Europe's top leagues.
Age is sometimes a good thing.
Young Marshal, this sounds like there is a lot of room for speculation.
And he is a coach from the East.
A coach who worked his way up from the lower leagues.
Very legendary ().
Suddenly Su Yun received many interview appointments from the media. In the past, Su Yun was almost all interviewed by English media. Then there were Chinese media. But this time it was different.
Famous European newspapers including "L'Equipe" and "Gazzetta dello Sport" have the idea of interviewing Su Yun.
In fact, just defeating Barcelona will not be so sensational.
The most important thing is because of Su Yun's identity.
A thirty-four-year-old young coach.
Coach from China.
The combination of these things is what they are very interested in. Of course, there is another point that the "Sun" recently wrote about the most profitable head coach. These are all gimmicks.
The European media was curious before.
Which coach is he?
After this game, everyone knew that the 34-year-old Chinese coach is currently the most profitable coach in the coaching world.
Curiosity is always the best news.
…………
This is in European football.
In China, there is simply a commotion. CCTV broadcasts the UEFA Cup, which is a very big stimulus for Chinese fans who have just started football. Although in recent years, Chinese fans have endured the national team's impact on the World Cup again and again.
They failed, but their enthusiasm remained the same.
Even more so than a few years ago.
The number of fans has only increased, not decreased.
Chelsea, coached by Su Yun, is regarded as a home team by Chinese fans, and countless fans stayed up late to watch this game ().
Are there any Barcelona fans in China?
have.
And the number is not a minority. But the proportion of fans in China is very small. You can almost ignore it. The largest number of Chinese fans are Serie A fans. Even in La Liga, there are more Real Madrid fans.
In China, teams such as Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Bayern, Real Madrid and Manchester United have far more fans than Barcelona.
Of course, even Barcelona fans can't say they support Barcelona at this time.
Who gives Su Yun a one-sided advantage in Chinese football?
After all, most areas in China can only accept the CCTV sports channel. Therefore, this game has attracted more attention in China. Fans in many places only know the names of Su Yun and Chelsea, but have never seen them. After all, their local sports
The station does not broadcast live Premier League games.
Now that CCTV is broadcasting the UEFA Cup, it is the best opportunity to see Chelsea games.
So there are many fans watching the live broadcast.
Su Yun did not disappoint everyone.
Barcelona was defeated cleanly with a score of 3-0.
Chinese fans are very excited.
In the Internet that has just emerged in China, countless fans have posted posts.
Looking at Su Yun's popularity in China, Coca-Cola and Omega are very happy. What's the point of paying Su Yun a few more endorsement fees? Hundreds of thousands of dollars a year are not in their eyes at all. That little money only needs to be paid in
By increasing its market share by a few tenths, China has made back its profits exponentially.
Based on the current popularity of Su Yun, they believe that their business will definitely have great benefits in China ().
The two of them are happy, but several companies that have not yet signed a contract with Su Yun are very anxious.
Because they are worried that if this continues, Su Yun's net worth will become higher and higher.
So they quickly contacted **.
They hope to sign a contract with Su Yun as soon as possible.
…………
However, Premier League matches will continue to be played during this period.
Just one day after finishing the UEFA Cup, Chelsea will play a Premier League game. They challenge Everton away. Maybe they are too excited to play against Barcelona. And because most of the players have been rotated, Chelsea lost 1 to 2 during the game.
Everton.
But that’s not the case for the Chelsea family.
The performances of several strong teams competing in European competitions were mediocre.
Finally got some time to rest. Because Chelsea hadn't had a week's rest for a long time. This time Chelsea finally had a week's rest before facing Manchester City at home.
Chelsea did not let Manchester City go.
A 4-0 sweep over Manchester City.
Then Chelsea went to Camp Nou. After a 3-0 win in the first game, Su Yun was even more confident at Camp Nou. In the end, with Eto'o's counterattack goal, Chelsea was a winner at Camp Nou.
A draw with Barcelona.
Defeated Barcelona 4-1 in two rounds and entered the top 16 of the UEFA Cup. (To be continued...)
