"They've all returned to China. Who has time to care about this place now?"
While driving, he expressed disdain.
Seeing Su Yun's expression of not fully understanding, he continued: "The national team's top ten games are about to begin. The biggest thing in domestic football right now is this. These reporters have gone back to report on the top ten games."
Su Yun nodded.
Su Yun was just a little confused at first. Why most of the Chinese reporters who used to surround Chelsea disappeared? It turned out to be because of this. Su Yun was not jealous at all.
It is understandable that these reporters follow the national team's games. Su Yun just smiled at his dissatisfaction.
Chinese football has worked hard for a long time to enter the World Cup.
Just like these coaches of Su Yun's generation, their biggest dream was to lead the national team to the World Cup. Such a complex is impossible to understand.
The top ten games are now the most important events. They determine whether the Chinese national team can enter the World Cup.
Compared to this game, my game at Chelsea is nothing.
Su Yun thought for a while.
"Can you capture the signal from China so that we can also see the top ten games here?"
Su Yun suddenly became more interested.
Top Ten Tournament.
I also attach great importance to the national team. It would be great if I could watch the live broadcast.
There was no immediate answer.
Instead, he thought about it and said slowly: "There shouldn't be a problem. I'll give it a try."
There is no deep national team plot like Su Yun, so I don't quite understand why Su Yun is always interested in national team news. But these are not important.
If Su Yun needs it, help him.
And with the popularity of the Internet, with a little effort you should be able to broadcast TV stations from China. This is no longer a big problem.
I believe it should be possible.
"Hopefully we can appear at the World Cup."
Su Yun looked out the window and sighed slightly. Su Yun was firmly opposed to the Football Association stopping league promotion and relegation for the World Cup, banning domestic players from studying abroad, etc. But since so much has been paid, Su Yun still hopes that the national team can
Entering the World Cup.
Maybe this trend will spark another wave of football craze in China.
Maybe the Football Association is smarter than me.
Anyway, Su Yun only hopes that the national team will enter the World Cup. And Su Yun also has some superstitions.
Milu is an amazing coach.
He has led four teams to the World Cup before. Su Yun hopes that the magical Milu can also lead the Chinese team to the World Cup this time.
I prayed secretly in my heart.
There was no answer this time.
He just looked at Su Yun's sincere look in the car mirror and shook his head. Su Yun's current popularity and market value are all due to the sluggish Chinese football.
In particular, it was the defeat in the top ten competition four years ago that made Su Yun suddenly rise to prominence in Chinese football.
Once the national team really enters the World Cup, Milutin and those players who have contributed to the World Cup will all become big stars in domestic football. Their popularity will definitely skyrocket in a short period of time.
By then, Su Yun, a coach who worked hard in England, will be forgotten by many people.
The popularity in the country has definitely dropped significantly.
This is completely conceivable. By then Milu may be more popular than Su Yun, a Chinese coach.
Su Yun's market value is all in China. Once domestic popularity declines, Su Yun's market value will also shrink. Su Yun now earns about five million pounds a year just from endorsing various international brands.
But I analyzed it.
Once the national team enters the World Cup, Su Yun's annual income will drop sharply. In the worst case, his income will be halved by more than half.
This is what I'm worried about now.
But it seems that Su Yun doesn't consider this at all.
I can only feel anxious.
Su Yun just took some time out to check out Houllier. Most of Su Yun's energy was put into studying his first-round opponents.
Time cannot be stopped.
Minute by minute, day by day.
Soon it was August 18, 2001.
The new Premier League season is about to begin.
In the first round of the Premier League, Chelsea will face Newcastle from the north at Stamford Bridge.
Su Yun is destined not to like Newcastle.
If Su Yun were asked to choose Su Yun's favorite club and the fans of Su Yun's favorite club, Su Yun would definitely tell people without hesitation that it is Sunderland.
It has only been three seasons, but Sunderland is Su Yun's favorite.
There is a club president who works well with Su Yun, there are players he has built with his own hands, and there are fans who have always supported him.
Therefore, it is impossible for Su Yun to like Sunderland's century-old rival Newcastle.
Of course, if Newcastle fans choose a Premier League manager they hate the most, Su Yun will definitely be the first name.
Especially when Su Yun was at Sunderland.
There was no mercy against Newcastle.
Therefore, Newcastle fans don't have a good face towards Su Yun.
This is the first game of the 2001-02 season. Chelsea, which has performed well recently, has attracted many Chelsea fans. The tickets for the Stamford Bridge stadium on this day have already been sold out.
Not only Chelsea fans are enthusiastic. The entire British football world is focusing on this game.
In the first round of the Premier League, there is only such a strong dialogue.
The other strong teams in the Premier League have all encountered weak teams.
Only Chelsea met Newcastle.
Strong dialogue is always eye-catching.
…………
"When I just came in, I saw the fans cheering."
After the players warmed up, they all entered the locker room.
When Chelsea's bus arrived at Stamford Bridge, thousands of Chelsea fans were waiting for the bus. This is not common in ordinary leagues. During ordinary leagues, there are also some fans waiting for the team bus in front of the stadium.
.
But definitely not as much as there are today.
Thousands of fans.
When Su Yun came down, he did a simple visual inspection and found that there were at least nearly 4,000 fans. This was two hours before the game.
This stunned the players.
Because the fans are so enthusiastic.
Especially when Su Yun walked down first, all the Chelsea fans raised their hands and cheered.
Su Yun is like a big star.
Received unanimous cheers from all fans.
The calls for the Four Crowns came one after another. Everyone was surprised. They really didn’t expect it.
So all the players nodded.
"Do you know why there are so many fans today?" Su Yun continued without waiting for the players to answer: "I'm telling you, it's because your results are good."
At this time, Su Yun had already finished explaining the tactics for this game.
There was only a little time left before the last game, so Su Yun said a few words in the locker room.
"How satisfied are you with last season's Triple Crown?"
"satisfy!"
"Of course I'm satisfied!"
All the players are very happy. Although it is a minor treble, Chelsea players are very happy. Especially many young players, it is the first time for them to win three cup championships in one season.
So they were all excited.
They all cheered in unison.
"But I'm not satisfied."
Su Yun's words immediately suppressed the excited players. They looked at Su Yun inexplicably. Su Yun stretched out his finger and said: "Actually, we still had a championship last season."
"That's the Premier League title."
Talking about the Premier League championship last season, everyone thinks of the game against Manchester United last season.
So there is some dullness.
"We had a great situation last season, but failed in the end. You are not responsible for this. The cause of the failure was all mine. It was because of my mistakes that we lost the Premier League championship."
"Coach Ferguson is right. The reason why we lost to Manchester United is entirely because my strength is not as good as Ferguson. But I have never been willing to accept it. I was not as good as Ferguson last season, so we lost. But I don't believe that I will never be as good as Ferguson.
."
Su Yun is not inferior at all.
But he is very self-aware.
At this stage, Su Yun is inferior to Ferguson in every aspect.
But Su Yun refused to admit defeat.
Su Yun must overthrow Ferguson's dominance in the Premier League.
"Are you just willing to let Manchester United continue to dominate the Premier League?"
"No!"
Terry was the first to stand up and answered loudly, "Head, beat Manchester United down. We are not afraid of Manchester United!"
In Chelsea's defense last season, Desailly, Terry, and Ayala played almost the same amount of playing time. Compared to Desailly and Argentina national team center back Ayala, Terry was just promoted.
A young player who has reached the first team.
But Su Yun valued him very much.
What Su Yun likes is Terry's fearlessness.
Plus Terry is different from other players.
Terry is currently the only player in the first team besides Le Saux who came out of Chelsea's youth academy.
He's from the club.
Su Yun usually considers whether to let Terry become the captain of Chelsea. Even after Wise left this season, Su Yun gave the captain's armband to Desailly. Then the second captain's armband was given to Le Saux, and Te
Li was appointed as the third captain by Su Yun.
This is already a very clear signal.
Captain Desailly was right, but Desailly is now older. Le Saux has been reduced to a substitute, and only Terry is young and still one of his own.
The future captain will definitely be Terry.
"Yes. Defeat Manchester United!"
Everyone was still dissatisfied with the loss to Manchester United last season, so everyone agreed with Terry.
"Okay. Ferguson wants to retire after this season. We should give him the best retirement gift. I want to give him a Premier League runner-up as a retirement gift."
Su Yun didn't want Ferguson's shadow to keep weighing on him.
Kill him before he retires and give yourself some credit.
"But it is not that easy to destroy Manchester United. Only by not giving up in every game can we defeat Manchester United. Starting from the first round."
"Go up and destroy Newcastle!"
"Destroy Newcastle!"
Young players are all excited. Because they are young, they can be easily encouraged by others. Although Su Yun did not say it directly, the players present understood what Su Yun meant.
Su Yun made a championship declaration in the locker room.
