"What? Really?"

Listening to Cotterill reporting the scores of other games, Su Yun stood up excitedly.His eyes were wide open, trying to see if Cotterill was joking.

Cotterill nodded with a smile on his face.

Su Yun was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and kept walking around.At this time, Su Yun had no time to care about the affairs on the court.Because at this time, Sunderland is already leading Luton Club [-]-[-] on the field.

The game will be over soon.

Three to zero has already sealed the victory of this game.

This is already the fifth round of the English League Cup.

It's also December.

Today is May 12th.

The Premier League has already played fifteen rounds.

Sunderland, who were very strong at the beginning, also began to show some fatigue.It should be said that there have been some bottlenecks. In the last three rounds of competition, only one win, one draw and one loss have been achieved.It was surpassed by Manchester United and Arsenal one after another.

Fortunately, the results of Chelsea, Liverpool, and Leeds United during this period are not very good.

So Sunderland is able to keep its third place in the Premier League.

But no one ridiculed Sunderland.

Because Sunderland's results are already good enough.Now that the Premier League is about to end the first half of the season, Sunderland is still in the top three positions in the Premier League.Not to blame at all.In the past few seasons, there has not been a newly promoted horse that can achieve such outstanding results as Sunderland.

In the past decade or so, Jack Walker's Blackburn and Kevin Keegan's Newcastle have had such outstanding results.

In the quarter-final draw of the League Cup, Sunderland was full of luck.

The weakest Luton team in the quarter-finals of the League Cup was drawn.

Luton are currently struggling in League Two.Whether it can be relegated in the English League Two is a problem.This is a very weak team, and being able to reach the quarter-finals of the League Cup is already a very big upset.Although Su Yun didn't even have a main player on the field, Sunderland still had an absolute advantage on the field.

Sunderland didn't make much effort during the game and already led Luton by three goals in the first half.In the second half, Sunderland had already relaxed, so they didn't continue to score.Now the game is almost over.

But what Su Yun was happiest was not winning the game, but the news uploaded from other arenas.

Wimbledon beat Chelsea [-]-[-] and Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United [-]-[-].

There are only two real strong teams in the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

That is Manchester United and Chelsea.

Manchester United is the overlord of the Premier League, and Chelsea has also been an absolute strong team in the Premier League in recent years.Although the League Cup has only reached the quarter-finals now.But when it comes to the League Cup, the biggest favorites are of course these two teams.But I didn't expect these two teams to be eliminated.

Of course, the most important reason is still one.

That is the gold content of the League Cup is too low.

All the energy of Manchester United and Chelsea are in the Premier League and European competitions.They even look down on the FA Cup at times, let alone the League Cup.So in this game, they all came off the bench, and the main players were all recharging their batteries.

Therefore, Wimbledon and Tottenham Hotspur, who faced a full battle, of course lost the game.

The teams remaining in the League Cup semi-finals are Tottenham Hotspur, Wimbledon, Sunderland and Leicester City.

Among these four teams, only Tottenham is a veteran team.And the strength of the team is good.In addition to Tottenham, Wimbledon and Leicester City are both Wang Xiaoer's New Year's Eve.And even Tottenham's performance this season is quite bad.

The reason for Cotterill's full smile is the same as the reason for Su Yun's excitement.

Because suddenly, Sunderland's path in the Carabao Cup looked bright.Unknowingly.Sunderland is already in the semi-finals of the League Cup.And suddenly the possibility of winning the League Cup has increased significantly.

The League Cup title is now just three games away.

Two games in the semi-finals of the League Cup and one game in the final of the League Cup.And now there is no absolute strong team in the League Cup.

Of course, Su Yun and Cotterill were looking forward to the championship.

Manchester United and Chelsea can ignore the League Cup.

Because they are powerful in England, the League Cup is not in their eyes.As the overlord of the Premier League, Manchester United has won many championships in recent years, and they don't even care about such a small cup as the League Cup.Even Chelsea has won many championships in recent years.They just won the Cup Winners Cup last season.In the eyes of their two clubs, the League Cup is really a trivial thing.

If you take it, you will be happy at most.

Can't get it, and nothing.

But the meaning is different for Sunderland.

The last time Sunderland won the championship was the FA Cup championship in the 7273 season, and it has been 26 years since now.The last champion was the FA Cup champion in 3637, and it has been 62 years since now.

As for Sunderland's six top league titles, it was earlier.

Therefore, for Sunderland, the League Cup championship, which others look down on, is also an important honor.

There has been no championship for 26 years, and the desire of Sunderland fans for the championship is something that those strong teams can't feel.No matter what the champion is.Even the League Cup champion with the lowest gold content is a great champion in the eyes of Sunderland fans.

If Su Yun can lead Sunderland to win a championship, then Su Yun's status in Sunderland and even in the Sunderland board of directors will definitely skyrocket.

Even the Sunderland board of directors does not believe that Sunderland can win a championship.

When negotiating Su Yun's contract with **, the reward for the champion is very generous.The prize money for the League Cup champion is half of Su Yun's annual salary, and the prize money for the FA Cup champion and the Premier League champion are amazing.Because the Sunderland board of directors never thought that Su Yun could help Sunderland win a championship.

How can Su Yun not be excited now.

"How did Manchester United's Chelsea get eliminated?"

Manchester United and Chelsea Su Yun is very important.

Both teams are stronger than Sunderland.If they were all in Suyun, they wouldn't be so excited. Now both teams have left the League Cup.

Very good.There is no better news than this.

At the beginning of the season, Su Yun had no interest in England's domestic cup competitions.Because it was the first time he came to the Premier League, Su Yun's first goal was to gain a foothold in the Premier League.Instead of playing the so-called domestic cups.

Although Su Yun has a special feeling for the League Cup, he will never make an irrational and blind decision.

This season Su Yun has sent a substitute lineup in the League Cup.It's just that Sunderland's luck is better, and it has only met one Premier League team so far.It is Everton on the verge of relegation.

So I came to the semi-finals of the League Cup smoothly.

Now several of the top four teams are out.The biggest contributor was Tottenham. Tottenham first eliminated Liverpool [-]-[-] away, and then eliminated Manchester United [-]-[-] at home.

Su Yun didn't think of it himself.

It's so easy to come to the semi-finals of the League Cup.

Then I looked up and found that the road ahead was so bright.It's a bright road.

Su Yun seemed to have seen the League Cup champion waving towards him.

…………

"Coach Su. Sunderland has already entered the semi-finals of the League Cup. Can you tell us what is Sunderland's goal in the League Cup this season?"

Now the reporter has also obtained the results of other competitions.

Among the current League Cup semi-finals, the strongest are Tottenham and Sunderland.

Tottenham were able to eliminate Liverpool and Manchester United in a row.The biggest reason is that Manchester United and Liverpool do not attach importance to the League Cup.And Tottenham attaches great importance to the League Cup.

It's not that the Tottenham club is very fond of the League Cup.

Although Tottenham are not a giant in England, they are definitely a traditional powerhouse in England.There are Cup Winners Cup and UEFA Cup in their club history, and there are eight FA Cups alone.How could their club value a champion with low gold content like the League Cup. .Now it is Tottenham coach Graham who values ​​the League Cup.

Graham's entry into Tottenham itself took a lot of infamy.Now the results in Tottenham are not very good.In the Premier League, he has already ranked No. 11, and Graham's coaching position is also precarious.

Football is very realistic.

It doesn't matter whether you were a famous coach in England or a famous coach in the world, and it doesn't matter what achievements you have achieved before.As long as the current grades are not good.No one will pay attention to you.

So Graham is under a lot of pressure now.

The League Cup is Graham's life-saving straw.

So in the League Cup, Tottenham went all out and eliminated both Liverpool and Manchester United.

In addition to Tottenham, the strongest is Sunderland.

Sunderland is still the No.3 team in the Premier League.

In the previous rounds of competition, Sunderland also beat Tottenham away.

Therefore, Sunderland's chances of winning the championship are also greatly increased.

"Goals? Both in the semi-finals, I don't think anyone wants to leave empty-handed. Me too."

Su Yun was a little excited, so he uttered wild words.

The reporters below were even more excited.

Su Yun didn't want to return empty-handed, there was only one answer.It's about the Champions League Cup.

"Coach Su, do you mean that Sunderland is going to win the League Cup this season?"

Just after Su Yun uttered such wild words, he felt some regret.

I really have some regrets.

Su Yun, who grew up in China, has a deep understanding of what it means to shoot a bird that stands out.As a newly promoted team this season, Sunderland's performance in the Premier League has been eye-catching enough.It is too conspicuous to say so openly that he wants to win the League Cup now.

It's just that I was a little excited just now.So keep your mouth shut.

So when I heard the reporter continue to ask questions, I smiled.

"You said this, not me. I think any team wants to win the championship, but unfortunately there is only one champion. We, Sunderland, also want to win the championship, and I also want to win the championship. But whether we can win the championship is not up to me. Forget it."

The reporter was very dissatisfied with Su Yun's ambiguous answer.

They want to keep asking.But Su Yun waved his hand and left.

There were clusters of flames ignited in my heart.

The League Cup, I'm sure. (to be continued..)
