There have been many changes in the Premier League this season. Chelsea won the Premier League championship with 92 points, which is considered a relatively strong championship in the past few seasons. This is because Chelsea failed to win the last three games.
If they get a complete victory, Chelsea can score 95 points.
That was the highest points tally in the Premier League in ten years.
But it didn't break the record, and neither did Su Yun.
Whether it's 95 points or 92 points, it's the same for Su Yun. They're all just Premier League champions.
Although breaking the points record is good.
But if it’s not broken, it’s not broken.
Nothing.
Various evaluations have also come out.
Su Yun won the Premier League Coach of the Year award.
There is no suspense.
There are only two people who can compete with Su Yun.
One is Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, and the other is Newcastle coach Robson.
Robson, in particular, was very vocal.
Because he led Newcastle to fourth place in the Premier League.
But in front of the Suyun Premier League champions, they are all scum.
This is the first time Su Yun has won the Coach of the Year award since coming to the Premier League. The closest year Su Yun got to this award was the 1999-00 season. At that time, Su Yun led Sunderland to second place in the Premier League.
.
Su Yun was very hopeful at that time.
It's a pity that Ferguson ultimately lost to Manchester United.
This time, Su Yun successfully won the Premier League Coach of the Year award by virtue of Chelsea's Premier League championship.
Williams also won the title of Premier League Player of the Season.
And it’s the best double material.
Williams is not only the best player in the Premier League selected by the English Journalists Association, but also the best player in the Premier League selected by the English Professional Footballers Union. He beat Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who have performed extremely well this season.
This is the first time Van Nistelrooy has played in the Premier League this season. However, he has scored 28 goals at Manchester United and 23 goals in the league.
One of Ferguson's best performances this season.
Not to mention Henry.
Scored 24 Premier League goals and became the Premier League Golden Boot.
It's a pity that they all lost to Williams.
In fact, Williams' statistics this season are far less dazzling than last season. Because Deschamps retired this season, Williams is more responsible for defensive tasks. He doesn't score many goals.
But who has made Williams the trend in the past two years?
And Chelsea's Premier League title this season gave Williams a lot of points.
On the contrary, both Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy lost a lot of points due to the club's lack of performance.
After the end of last season, Williams was the double best player at that time. A season later, Williams was the best player again. Williams is already known as the best star in the Premier League.
…………
Of course, after winning the Premier League championship, none of this means anything to Su Yun.
Su Yun returned to China early.
The World Cup is about to start.
The World Cup in Korea and Japan has begun.
The Chinese national team has also entered this World Cup. China is immersed in the atmosphere of the World Cup. Even during the World Cup, some schools used the method of taking vacations to let students watch the World Cup.
This is the current fanatical football atmosphere in the country.
The TV series shot by Tang Jili will be launched on the eight channels of Zhongyang TV Station in mid-May.
TV series about football.
Although the filming is very cliché, the story inside can be written by a high school graduate. But with the topic of the World Cup and the atmosphere of football, there is no problem with the ratings of this TV series at all.
Because he talks about football.
Fans' enthusiasm has been fully mobilized since May. By June, it has reached a peak.
Fans are all imagining that the Chinese team can break through the group stage and then enter the top 16.
The media also shouted.
One win, one draw and one loss.
Emerge from this group.
One win, against Costa Rica. One draw, against Türkiye. One loss, against Brazil.
What a beautiful wish.
Su Yun was invited by Zhong Yang TV Station to be the host of the World Cup. He partnered with Zhang Lu to commentate on this year's World Cup.
Everyone's enthusiasm is very high.
Everyone thinks that the Chinese team will perform very well in the World Cup.
But after returning to China this time, Su Yun, who was originally in high spirits, became worried. Su Yun still remembered what Zhang Jilong said to Su Yun when he met him.
Zhang Jilong has his own explanation for the promotion and relegation of the suspended league.
That is, as long as the Chinese team can enter the World Cup, it will definitely mobilize China's domestic football enthusiasm. It will make Chinese football attract everyone's attention in a short period of time, and with this enthusiasm, Chinese football will develop rapidly.
Although Su Yun sneered at Zhang Jilong's defense.
Su Yun believed that suspending promotion and relegation would greatly damage the reputation of the league. Therefore, he thought Zhang Jilong's words were nonsense.
But Su Yun still agrees with some of Zhang Jilong's words. It is because of the momentum of the World Cup that Chinese football can make a qualitative leap.
If we make good use of the enthusiasm of entering the World Cup, it is really possible for Chinese football to take a big step forward.
But after returning to China this time, Su Yun was deeply disappointed.
yes.
Entering the World Cup this time has greatly aroused the enthusiasm of fans. The whole of China is surrounded by football. The biggest topic in China now is the Chinese national team and the World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
But what?
The Football Association, clubs, coaches, and players who should consider the development of Chinese football all have problems. The entire Chinese football world has problems.
Entering the World Cup is just the beginning.
South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Iran have all entered the World Cup a few years ago, and their national teams have not seen a high standard. In other words, for Asian teams, entering the World Cup is just the beginning.
This is the beginning.
That's the beginning.
But after returning to China, Su Yun discovered that the current Chinese football world is putting the cart before the horse. Many of them believe that entering the World Cup has accomplished their goal.
Those Football Association officials were busy celebrating and showing off their merits.
Because they have already allowed the Chinese national team to enter the World Cup. It seems that this generation of cadres has achieved their goals.
As for the Football Association officials that Su Yun has met recently, they all want to get a share of the credit for entering the World Cup. As for the future development of Chinese football, we will talk about it later.
And what are the various clubs doing?
Their current idea is very simple. They are to make more money by relying on the popularity of football. As for cultivating the echelon and training players since they became professional, they have forgotten about it.
The coaches and players are all celebrating. They are all filming commercials and bragging everywhere.
Anyway, this is what Su Yun saw in domestic football when he returned to China.
That is, everyone thinks that the goal has finally been achieved.
Achieved the goal of entering the World Cup.
As for what will happen after entering the World Cup? How will Chinese football develop in the future? These are not in their minds. Each of them believes that Chinese football has achieved its goal.
This kind of thinking is prevalent in the current Chinese football world.
This made Su Yun don't know what to say.
Deeply disappointed.
…………
But Su Yun couldn't say it directly.
Very disappointed though.
Because the whole country is immersed in joy. The Chinese football world thinks this way, and Su Yun is not willing to offend everyone in the football world by criticizing them.
Sleek.
Be wise and protect yourself.
Probably both.
Deeply disappointed. But Su Yun couldn't say it.
Even before the match against Costa Rica, the Chinese media placed their hopes on Sun Jihai for the national team's match.
Sun Jihai is indeed a big name.
He plays for Manchester City, the English League One team that was promoted this season. He also entered the national team very early. He is also the main right back for the Dalian team. He is considered a big-name player in Chinese football.
But it's funny that the media expected the game to be played on a right back.
Su Yun personally participated in the commentary as a guest.
The final result was zero to two.
The Chinese national team lost.
Watching this game, Su Yun remembered other games.
The South Korean team defeated Poland 2-0, and the Japanese team drew 2-0 with Belgium.
What Su Yun saw was not their victory, but their organization. With the advantage of the host country, there would be no problem with better results. But what Su Yun saw was the organization of the two countries in this World Cup.
The passion of their fans.
Their commitment to football.
This makes Su Yun involuntarily compare himself with the Chinese national team.
The more I compare, the more worried I become.
So much so that Su Yun didn't have much passion when explaining. He only occasionally analyzed the tactics of both sides.
Until June 13th.
The Chinese team lost to Türkiye 3-0.
Su Yun's explanation also ended.
Su Yun was invited just for the Chinese team's match. Now the Chinese national team's group stage has finished. Although Zhong Yang TV station will continue to broadcast other World Cup games, Su Yun has no interest in continuing to commentate.
After the game, Zhang Lu took off his headset.
"Su, I see you are not in a high mood. In fact, South Korea, Japan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia participated in the World Cup. They were all like this from the beginning."
Fifty-one-year-old Zhang Lu has much more experience in football than Su Yun.
So Su Yun, who was not in a good mood, smiled and tried to enlighten him. Zero to two, zero to three, zero to four, it was a bit embarrassing.
"I have been mentally prepared for this. It's just that domestic expectations are too high." Su Yun nodded. Su Yun is far calmer than those domestic media, and he also has a far deeper understanding of Turkey than the domestic football world.
Especially Galatasaray.
This Turkish giant has many Turkish international players, and Su Yun has also played against them.
Therefore, Su Yun took the saying that one win, one draw and one loss in domestic football as a joke.
Su Yun understands when the national team loses.
But the domestic media is completely nonsense.
First I turned it up very high, and now I started pouring cold water on it.
Su Yun sighed and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhang, it's not that I can't accept the national team losing. In fact, our loss was already decided before the game. Our people seemed to have completed the task as long as the Chinese team entered the World Cup. Celebration Party
It was opened again and again, for half a year."
"Actually, entering the World Cup is just the beginning."
Hearing Su Yun sigh, Zhang Lu didn't say anything.
You can say whatever you want about Su Yun's status. Even if he casually criticizes the Football Association in front of the newspaper, it has nothing to do with it.
But Zhang Lu can't do it.
He will continue to make a living in domestic football.
Even if he agrees with Su Yun's view, he can't be as unscrupulous as him.
Su Yun looked back at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Entering the World Cup for the first time.
I don’t know when the next time will be.
Shit.
This World Cup is really bullshit for the Chinese national team. (To be continued...)
