Kaden watched in surprise as the club president came to the stadium. Although the club president was very concerned about the team, this was just a League Cup match.
Sunderland's biggest goal now is to avoid relegation, not the League Cup, which has such a low gold content.
"Today our opponent is not the Chinese coach who has become famous some time ago. I am very curious and come over to take a look."
Murray is very easy-going.
But Carden is not casual. Because Murray is the boss in Sunderland. He owns more than 50% of the club's shares and is Sunderland's largest shareholder. He has always said the right thing in Sunderland.
This is the third round of the English League Cup. The time is already October 23.
During this period, Su Yun led Dagenham to play four games. They faced Holyholt, Chester, Hull City, and Lincoln, and achieved a record of two wins, one draw, and one loss. Continue to rank.
Top of League Three.
Different from the first and second rounds, the third round only requires one game. Only in the case of a tie will the second game be played.
Dagenham drew the "Black Cats" Sunderland in the third round.
Sunderland's nickname also has some origins.
Sunderland is nicknamed "The Black Cat". The earliest legend is that the local belief is that black cats can bring good luck. In 1937, a Sunderland fan named Billy Morris brought a black cat into the FA Cup final.
Stadium, Sunderland won the game, and the symbol of the black cat began to be praised. In the 1960s, a black cat lived in Locke Park, and the Sunderland club was responsible for feeding it. Later, the image of the black cat became the team's symbol.
symbol.
Sunderland has a glorious history.
Six-time top league champion and the first team in the history of English football to win three top-tier league titles.
In the third round of the League Cup, Dagenham came to Sunderland's home stadium, the Stadium of Light. This is a large stadium that can accommodate more than 40,000 people, and Sunderland fans are very crazy. Their craziness is different from that of Millwall fans.
.
Sunderland fans care more about their own team.
They will not abuse Dagenham for no reason, but will continue to cheer for their team.
"Coach Su, hello."
Peter Reed wears gray trousers and a black suit. He wears a pink tie and has bright eyes.
When holding Su Yun's hand, Su Yun found that his hand was very powerful.
"Coach Reed, hello."
Peter Reid is not an ordinary person. He was once a meritorious player of Everton. Everton was brilliant in the early 1980s. He won consecutive top league championships and various cup championships. Peter Reid at that time was
Core midfielder.
When Peter Reed was at his most brilliant, he was even considered the best midfield tough guy in Europe.
Of course, Su Yun knew Peter Reed not because of his performance as a player. Because when he was a player, Su Yun was still studying coaching courses in China. Su Yun knew Peter Reed because he became a coach.
achievements.
Peter Reid's coaching career began at Manchester City.
Stars often have a high starting point when they become coaches. For example, Peter Reid achieved a lot as a player, so when he became a coach, he was able to find a top league team like Manchester City as a coach. However, in Manchester City, Peter Reid
Although Reid spent a lot of money, he was fired by Manchester City after two and a half years.
Peter Reid really became famous in the coaching industry with the current Black Cats Sunderland.
After becoming the head coach of Sunderland on March 29, 1995, he first helped Sunderland avoid relegation in the English League. The following season, that is, the 1995-96 season, he led Sunderland to be promoted to the Premier League.
With this result, Peter Reid became the best coach in England this season.
This is Peter Reid.
However, Peter Reid's situation is not good recently. Su Yun is currently enjoying success in the English League Three, but Peter Reid is now in dire straits. Peter Reid also coached a Premier League team back then.
.
It's a pity that the Premier League has changed a lot just a few years later.
It is no longer the Premier League that Peter Reid is familiar with. After Sunderland was promoted, they played very well in the first few games. They were once ranked first in the Premier League, and all the English media exclaimed that a dark horse had appeared.
It's a pity that this is just a flashback.
In the next four games, Sunderland actually lost four games in a row. Sunderland, who were invincible in the English League One, lost four games in a row after arriving in the Premier League. This made the Sunderland players who were used to winning feel anxious.
Senseless.
Only then did they understand the difference between English League One and the Premier League.
And their ranking has plummeted, from the top of the Premier League to the relegation zone.
Peter Reed is in trouble right now.
He is an experienced coach, and Sunderland is already the third club he has coached. And when he was a player, Peter Reid was a tough guy who had seen all kinds of storms. But now he feels a little bit
At a loss what to do.
Because a wave of four consecutive losses has had a huge impact on the team.
He actually wanted to give up the League Cup long ago. Unfortunately, for some reason, Sunderland had good luck in the League Cup this season. They actually encountered a team from the English League Three and randomly sent a few substitutes and youth academy players.
, it is already to eliminate them.
This time we met another English C team.
But this team is different. This is a very famous English C team, which has eliminated two English C teams in a row.
If it were normal, Peter Reid would definitely give Dagenham a good lesson.
But now Sunderland have too much time to take care of themselves and have no time to show off their power in the League Cup. Now Sunderland's biggest goal is to avoid relegation and stay in the Premier League.
Don’t think that there is only one level difference between the Premier League and English League One, but there is a huge difference between the two leagues. Especially in terms of broadcast income. Staying in the Premier League means a lot of money, not one hundred thousand or one million, but thousands.
Counting in the tens of thousands.
Sunderland are absolutely unwilling to be relegated.
Peter Reid is even more unwilling to be relegated. He just became the best coach in England last season and has great glory, but if he is relegated, there will be nothing.
Therefore, Reid does not attach great importance to the League Cup.
In this game, Reed mostly used substitutes and youth team players.
Nearly half of the players who played today were players trained by themselves. This includes the two forwards Michael Bridges and Kevin Kyle. The same is true for right midfielder Thomas Butler and defensive midfielder Paul Thelwell.
.
Reed is not willing to waste energy in such a game.
Therefore, the main players including Quinn, Michael Gray, Alan Johnston, and Darren Williams are resting off the court. There is a Premier League game three days later, and these main players cannot waste their energy in the League Cup.
Su Yun looked at the Sunderland players on the field.
Except for one person, no one is in Su Yun's eyes. Sunderland youth training forward Michael Bridges, this person's current strength is not very high. He is only 146, but his potential is very high.
There are 186.
Although Su Yun has seen many players with potentials above 180, but in terms of the proportion of players Su Yun has seen, there are still not many such high potential players.
Apart from him, the potential of other Sunderland youth academy players is only around 170.
Reid does not attach importance to the League Cup, but Su Yun and Dagenham attach great importance to the League Cup. Su Yun rests many of the main players for the League Cup, just to play Sunderland. Sunderland became the first player after Su Yun came to the UK.
First time facing a Premier League team.
Although it is only a relegation team, Su Yun still attaches great importance to it.
Both parties are young.
Sunderland's players are basically young players trained by themselves. Michael Bridges, whom Su Yun values the most, is only 18 years old. Kevin Kyle is only 17 years old. Thomas Butler is
It takes a few months to reach eighteen.
Reed sent out such an army of children.
If they can win, then these young players can continue to train. If they lose, they can just concentrate on playing in the Premier League.
How could it be that the players didn't know that Reid, as the head coach, had this idea?
Although these young players gave their best, Dagenham were far better prepared than Sunderland.
This was immediately apparent after the game started.
