The Football Association did put forward this opinion.
They hoped that Su Yun could become a consultant to the Football Association and participate in the Football Association's coaching selection, but ** replaced Su Yun and simply refused. Of course, the words were very tactful.
He said that Su Yun had been away from China for ten years and did not know much about the current development of Chinese football.
I dare not take on such an important task.
They are all Chinese. This Tai Chi fight went back and forth, and both sides understood it very well. The Chinese Football Association came to London this time from the middle and senior levels of the Football Association, and they felt that they had given Su Yun a lot of sincerity.
But Su Yun really doesn't want to wade into troubled waters.
So I asked ** to play Tai Chi with him.
In the end, the Football Association couldn't bear it anymore. After all, they couldn't allow the national team coach to be vacant for a long time. Su Yun could wait, but they couldn't wait. They wanted to bring Su Yun with them, but it was a pity that Su Yun was like a loach.
Just don't accept the move.
They had no other option for Su Yun.
**In place of Su Yun, Su Yun is preparing for the upcoming knockout rounds of the Champions League. Su Yun does not have time to play this kind of cat-and-mouse game with the Football Association.
After all, there isn't much time left.
On February 23rd, Chelsea will challenge Barcelona away from home.
Because there is the Champions League and the FA Cup in February, the Premier League only has three games scheduled. And they are all in the Premier League in early February. After mid-February, there is no more Premier League.
It can be said that there are very few games.
There is no comparison with six games a month in September and October.
But Chelsea still has an FA Cup game to play on February 20th.
FA Cup fifth round match.
Chelsea's away game against Newcastle.
There was nothing to think about. There was no hesitation at all when making the choice. The FA Cup is a slightly more important competition in England, but compared with the Champions League, it is not at the same level.
In terms of influence, the Champions League is world-class.
The ratings are there.
In terms of income, a victory in a knockout round of the Champions League can earn more than the FA Cup champion.
Therefore, there is no comparison in any aspect.
Su Yun's idea is very simple.
Su Yun can give up the FA Cup for the Champions League.
Therefore, Su Yun brought a group of substitute players during the game, while the main players had already gone to Barcelona that day. After all, the players had to arrive in Spain early to adapt to the venue, and they also needed to go to Barcelona to rest for a day.
Souness also found out about Chelsea's selection.
Souness is currently in a very unfavorable situation in the Premier League. When Robson was there, he was able to lead Newcastle into the top four and secure a Champions League spot.
Newcastle was a strong Premier League team at the time.
But after Souness took over, Newcastle's performance plummeted. It has now slipped to ninth place. And the performance has continued to decline.
So he needs to deflect some conflicts.
It also reduces the stress on yourself.
The best way is of course to get good results. But the league is no longer good, so he can only place his hope on the domestic cup competition.
The FA Cup is a very good opportunity.
Seeing Chelsea bringing in substitutes, he thought it was a good opportunity.
As long as he defeats Chelsea, Newcastle will be able to advance to the sixth round of the FA Cup. Then the pressure on him can be reduced a little, and Newcastle fans can reduce their criticism of themselves.
He is very confident.
Must beat Chelsea.
Waiting for Chelsea to arrive. But after the game started, Souness almost cried.
He is ready to show off his strength to Chelsea at home.
Unexpectedly, not long after the game started, Klose received a cross from Boboski and scored the opening goal. And before Souness could react, Duff broke in from the left and scored.
Scored the second goal.
Su Yun believes that the Champions League is more important than the FA Cup.
If I had to choose one, I would definitely choose the Champions League. But if possible, I would not give up any game.
Although he came to Newcastle with a substitute, Su Yun never thought of giving up the FA Cup directly. Therefore, after the game started, Su Yun did not feel conservative because he brought a substitute. After the start, he became aggressive.
Newcastle was caught off guard.
Souness was stunned.
He thought Chelsea were easy to bully now. Unexpectedly, he was destroyed by Chelsea.
Three to one.
Chelsea used a full substitute lineup to easily defeat Newcastle in the away game and entered the sixth round of the FA Cup.
It also allowed the entire Premier League to see the strength of Chelsea's substitute players.
The thickness of Chelsea's lineup also frightened many people.
After the FA Cup match, Su Yun immediately rushed to Barcelona.
…………
Different from last season, this season's Champions League quarter-finals saw many strong dialogues. For example, Bayern versus Arsenal, Real Madrid versus Juventus, and Manchester United versus Milan.
They are all confrontations between European giants.
Instead, several weak teams were drawn together. PSV faced Monaco, and Werder Bremen faced Lyon.
If these teams are separated, then a strong team will basically be able to encounter a weak team. But it is estimated that there were too many dark horses last season, and there were not many strong dialogue games in the knockout rounds.
So that makes UEFA a little angry.
Last season's Champions League final match between Chelsea and Porto was the lowest-rated match in recent years.
Maybe it's because of this reason.
This year, starting from the quarter-finals, there have been many strong dialogues to attract fans.
Although there are many strong dialogues, among these strong dialogues, the game between Chelsea and Barcelona is also very eye-catching. It does not cover up the attention of Chelsea and Barcelona because there are many strong dialogues.
And this is not the first time Su Yun has played against Barcelona.
It's just that the Barcelona that Su Yun encountered back then was a half-disabled Barcelona. Because after Figo's transfer, Barcelona has been in a state of turmoil. But the Barcelona he encountered this time was different.
This is a team known as the second dream team.
When Su Yun felt that Barcelona was coming, many reporters were waiting for Su Yun. Clark, who led Chelsea, arrived at Barcelona early. Su Yun arrived at Barcelona a day late.
"Coach Su Yun, do you have any preparations for this game?"
There are very few players who followed Su Yun to Barcelona this time.
Because the main players had already arrived at Barcelona in advance, Su Yun only brought a few substitute players to Barcelona. But there were still many reporters coming to greet Su Yun.
"I will not take any game lightly. For Barcelona, I have done all the preparations I should do."
How much attention this game has attracted, you will know when you see the reporters here today. After all, Chelsea is the defending champion, and Barcelona is one of the hottest teams in European football this season.
"Coach Su Yun, what do you think of Coach Rijkaard?"
Su Yun smiled.
"The Three Musketeers of the Netherlands! Coach Rijkaard is my favorite player among the Three Musketeers of the Netherlands. I was still a fan of his when I was watching Serie A in China. He plays great football."
Su Yun's answers were somewhat irrelevant.
But who are journalists?
They are all human beings.
They knew how to report Su Yun's words as soon as they came out. They had even thought about the headlines for tomorrow morning's news.
"Rijkaard is a good player, but not a good coach!"
Although Su Yun did not express it clearly, the reporter believed that this was Su Yun's wish.
In fact, it was indeed Su Yun's idea.
The reporter was right.
"Coach Su Yun, you and Barcelona were competing for Ronaldinho the summer before last. And he chose Barcelona. What do you think? Didn't Coach Su Yun feel that he was unable to win Ronaldinho?
A loss?”
Su Yun shook his head as he walked.
Su Yun had long expected that they would ask this question.
Su Yun replied indifferently: "Ronaldinho is a genius, he is outstanding. It is his right for him to choose Barcelona. We at Chelsea are the Champions League champions without him. I don't think that his choice of Barcelona is our loss at Chelsea."
On the contrary, I think it is his loss that he did not choose Chelsea. If he came to Chelsea, he would already be a member of the Champions League champion."
Su Yun was sorry.
But you should never say that in front of others.
The reporter from "World Sports News" saw Su Yun saying this, so he was very unconvinced and said: "But Ronaldinho is the World Footballer."
Ronaldinho was elected as the World Footballer of the Year awarded by FIFA in January.
Su Yun curled his lips.
Then he faced the reporter and said: "It's a pity. He only won the World Player of the Year for entertainment, and there is still a lot of controversy. If he wins the Champions League with Chelsea, then he will undisputedly win the European Golden Ball."
Award and become the undisputed World Footballer of the Year."
Then Su Yun didn't answer.
He pushed aside the reporter and entered the bus that came to pick up Su Yun.
Barcelona also responded to Su Yun's words.
Rijkaard did not say anything too fierce. Of course, he has been very low-key since he was playing football. So he simply responded: "I am honored to have fans like Coach Su Yun when I was a player. Now I can compete with Coach Su Yun."
, I think it’s very good.”
Talking before the game. This is not Rijkaard's style.
All his energy was put into the game. Studying Chelsea's game.
It was Barcelona's junior, Xavi, who stepped forward. Xavi is already twenty-five years old, and he can't be considered a junior in terms of age. But for Barcelona, he is really inconspicuous. Of course, he could have squeezed out back then.
Guardiola, you can see his strength.
But over the years in Barcelona, Xavi has never become famous.
For example, Ronaldinho is the most popular player in Dream 2 right now. Among the midfielders, Deco is more famous than Xavi. When people discuss Barcelona now, they will only talk about Ronaldinho, not Harry.
dimension.
However, although he is inconspicuous, Xavi is really the passing point of this Barcelona.
He countered Su Yun's words: "Ronaldo is the most suitable for Barcelona. He will get all the honors he can get in Barcelona."
The person involved, Ronaldinho, also stood up.
"There were many clubs who wanted me, not only Chelsea but also Manchester United. But I chose Barcelona because Barcelona is the best."
Everyone's verbal sparring before the game was just for fun.
The real battle still has to take place on the field.
