The news of the top ten competition did make Su Yun a little sad.

But just before the tenth round of League One, Su Yun heard an exciting news.

On October 1997, 10, in the third round of the Top Ten Tournament, the Chinese team defeated the visiting Saudi Arabia 3-[-] at home.

This news made Su Yun very happy.

The Saudi team is a strong team in West Asia.It is also considered a strong opponent in this group, and the Saudi team has been recognized as a strong Asian team in recent years.He was the champion of the Asian Cup three times in 84, 88 and 96.He was also the Asian Cup runner-up in 92.

In the 94 World Cup in the United States, he even broke through the group stage and entered the top sixteen.

In the past ten years, Saudi Arabia has been unique in Asian football, and its results are very good.It is precisely because of this that the Japanese and Korean media look down on the fate of the Chinese team in the top ten.Iran and Saudi Arabia are not easy to deal with.

So Su Yun was ecstatic when he heard that the Saudi team had won [-]-[-].

Not bad.

In this way, the situation of the Chinese team in the group stage immediately improved a lot.As long as the following games are played better, the Chinese team still has a great hope of advancing.

good mood.

The performance of the national team went up and down, which made Su Yun's mood fluctuate accordingly.

On October 1997, 10, the tenth round of the League One began.

Su Yun is the Reading team that welcomes the away challenge in a good mood.

Speaking of which, Reading is a club with a long history.It has a history of more than 120 years, even nearly ten years earlier than the establishment of Sunderland.But in terms of results, the Reading team is too far behind.

Sunderland is the first club in the English league to win three top league titles.Six top league championship trophies are there, showing off their history.

However, since the Reading team was established more than 120 years ago, there has not been any important champion.

Or their history is a big blank.

In the history of English football, the Reading team is not an onion at all.

Even ten years ago Reading was on the brink of bankruptcy.Fortunately, their luck is good. Like Jack Walker's entry into Blackburn, the Reading team also met a rich fan of their own.This is the billionaire Madejski who made his fortune from used car magazines.

This one is also a billionaire.

Like Sunderland boss Murray, although he is not a world-class rich man.But the net worth is also hundreds of millions of pounds.

The entry of Madejski revived the Reading team, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

It also allowed the Reading team to gather strength step by step, coming from League Two to League One four years ago.Even the Reading team qualified for the promotion play-offs two years ago, only to fall short in the end.However, the results of the Reading team in the past two years have been mediocre.

Almost all the media before the game overwhelmingly believed that Sunderland would easily win the game.

It's really because Sunderland's state these days is too good.

Not only did Kevin Phillips, a super shooter who scored [-] goals in nine games, exist.More importantly, Sunderland's defense is very good. So far, there has been no incident of conceding two goals in a game.

It can be said that the current Sunderland is completely invincible in the League One.

Even a strong League One team like Middlesbrough has no power to fight back against Sunderland.What's more, the current poor Reading team?

The recent state of the Reading team is indeed poor.

In the first nine games, the Reading team turned out to have only achieved two wins, one draw and six losses.Reading has scored six goals so far and conceded eighteen goals.It is currently ranked in the relegation zone of the League One. Whether it can be relegated is still a matter of opinion.

When these two opponents meet, no one is optimistic about the Reading team.

Even the local media in Reading are not optimistic about the Reading team.Their media generally lamented before the game that it was really not the right time for Reading to meet Sunderland.They are really afraid that the Reading team will get a shameful score.

But after the game started, everyone was surprised.

Sunderland have a lot of chances in this game.Whether it is a winger or a central player, or even two forwards, they all have a lot of opportunities.But the ball just couldn't get into the opponent's goal.

Sunderland's top shooter, Kevin Phillips, was even more under a spell.

Phillips had a total of seven shot opportunities in this game.

Phillips' shooting ability is already very strong, otherwise it would be impossible to score eleven goals in nine games.Once Phillips gets a chance in the penalty area, he can create enough threats.When I encountered the rubbish defense of the Reading team, I got a lot of very good opportunities.There are three chances to face the goalkeeper alone.

But it was such a good opportunity that Phillips didn't even grasp it.

Hit the post twice during the game.

If it weren't for Phillips' previous achievements, many people would think that Phillips is a big parallel importer.So many good chances have not scored.

And Quinn also had a header shot from close range.The goalkeepers of the Reading team have already raised their hands in surrender.But the ball unfortunately hit the crossbar.

Two goalposts and one crossbar, Sunderland's luck in this game is back to a few points.

Of course that's all, nothing more.

What annoyed Su Yun the most was that the Reading team only scored once in the whole game.And that shot door hasn't hit the right position yet, it should be going to fly out.Unexpectedly, by accident, it hit Melville's leg and broke into it.

Ji Wen followed the direction of the door to defend.

Unexpectedly, the ball rolled in from another direction.

This made Ji Wen only sigh in vain.

Su Yun couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the score of zero to one.

How could such a game be lost?

Why?

After the game, even the head coach of the Reading team called it a fluke.I think being able to win is pure luck.In this game, the Reading team never thought that they could beat Sunderland, and the same was true of the game process.

Sunderland has countless chances.There were even five or six chances of scoring a goal, but none of them scored.

The head coach of Reading did feel very lucky.

This is God's help.

Su Yun spread his hands helplessly after the match. "God doesn't let us score, and I can't help it. Maybe we also have the best spell in League One!"

Hearing Su Yun's dumbfounding expression, all the reporters smiled.

The Premier League has the best spell of the month.That is, the team that won the best coach of the month and the best player of the month at the same time will either draw or lose the next game.This is a famous curse in English football.Su Yun just used this spell to express his helplessness.

After the game, many media quoted Su Yun's words.

Say Phillips is cursed for this game.

League One has also begun to be cursed by the best of the month.
