Football: My coaches are all world-class stars

35. Sunderland, don't cry for me

Zhang Bo is not a fan of snitching.

However, Lucas is only 14 years old, and it is indeed a bit worrying to go to Sunderland to watch the football.

Sunderland is a large town in Tyne and Wear, England.

It is one of the cities in Tyne and Weir in the northeast of England, adjacent to South Tyneside and Newcastle, and evolved from the suburbs of the surrounding cities.

It was upgraded to a city in 1992, which is considered a new city.

Whether it is close or far from London, the train takes about three and a half hours.

This distance is certainly no problem for adults, but for 14-year-old Lucas, it is somewhat worrying.

...

"Oh my god, that guy really makes people hook their souls away!"

On the phone, Emilia's reaction was a little intense.

After chatting for a long time, Zhang Bo realized that the reason why Lucas asked him to get the ticket was because he wanted to show off to his new girlfriend.

As for whether she likes watching football or not, that doesn't matter.

Lucas had only one purpose, to show that he got a ticket that was difficult to get, just to show his ability.

By the way, he can also have an unforgettable trip with his little girlfriend.

Zhang Bo, who found out what happened, was a little bit dumbfounded.

After working for a long time, that boy Lucas was so mysterious that he wanted to pick up girls!

"Zhang Bo, if you find it troublesome, just leave him alone."

On the other end of the phone, Emilia asked Zhang Bo to reject Lucas' request.

However, since Zhang Bo agreed to Lucas and found out the situation, it is not easy to break his promise.

He just smiled and said, "It's not troublesome, since you think it's okay, I'll give him the ticket."

Emilia said, "Yes, I can, but I have to give three tickets..."

...

At the beginning, Zhang Bo couldn't figure out why it was so difficult for a team like Sunderland to get tickets.

Especially in the last round, the Black Cats Sunderland lost 1-2 away to Fulham, ranked bottom with only 34 points, and it has been confirmed that they will be relegated to League One next season.

This is also following the relegation of Sunderland from the Premier League in 2017, and continued to be relegated to League One, realizing the "two-level downgrade" of the league.

They have confirmed their second consecutive drop, and the last time they played in the third-tier league dates back to the 30-87 season 88 years ago...

But when he came to the Stadium of Light and looked at the slogan "Sunderland, don't cry for me" in the audience, he realized that he was superficial.

Zhang Bo admires the fan culture of these ancient teams.

Although the current Sunderland can be described as a mess, in the last game of the British Championship, the entire Stadium of Light was still full.

...

It is not too much to say that Sunderland is a mess. Judging from the performance on the court, it can only be described as a mess.

Since the relegation in the Premier League last season, whether it is the valuable new star Pickford, or the small money Lens, Borini, and even the substitute goalkeeper Mannone, all of them have been sold out.

Defoe, the most important scoring point on the team's offensive line, and tactical center Anichebi also left the team, and the core skeleton of the team's last year in the Premier League was completely dismantled.

To make matters worse, this team has been infighting since the beginning of the season.

After losing 0-5 to the overlord Celtics in the warm-up match before this season, Gibson went out to go clubbing, and the drunk-faced Gibson yelled at the fans: "A few of my teammates are shit, such as Kobe. Inners, like Lens, don't want to play for the team at all."

This remark caused crazy reprints. Although it didn't seem to cause too much trouble in the end, Gibson has never been seen since the start of the season.

On the other hand, the ability of the debt-ridden team is a problem.

Boss Short also thought it was a hot potato, and was too lazy to invest money and was eager to sell.

Among Sunderland's nearly 1.4 million debts, 6900 million creditors are the bosses, and there are 800 million pounds of interest on these debts every year.

Short had only one condition—sell it if you pay back the money!

Even his own share will do.

It's a pity that although in British football, there has been a precedent for Chelsea's "1 pound" transfer before.But this dying black cat still dissuaded all interested consortiums.

Anyway...

Apart from the fans, this team is rotten to the core.

As the last game of the season, Sunderland has no fighting spirit, and Millwall is trying to win.

At the end of the first half between the two sides, Millwall has already led 2-0.

Zhang Bo once again opened the door to victory for Millwall with his iconic header.

After the off-duty game, although he could not score again, Millwall completely suppressed the scene.

With 15 minutes left in the game, Zhang Bo also enjoyed the treatment of being substituted.

However, it was not O'Brien who replaced him, but another Welsh striker, Morrison, who had recently returned from injury.

As for O'Brien...

Even the 18-man roster cannot be entered now.

After all, everything is going well with the team now, and no one would think of taking him with this kind of disruptor.

...

"See, the person who is replaced now is my sister's suitor."

"He gave us our tickets today!"

In the stands of the visiting team at the Stadium of Light, Lucas was bragging with the girl next to him.

As he said this, the boy looked around in a pretentious manner, and purposely moved closer to the girl and bit his ear, "It's free, no money..."

The girl was obviously being fooled by Lucas, she kept nodding her head, looking at Lucas with admiration in her eyes.

Only Emilia rolled her eyes, obviously looking down on her brother's performance.

The girl stared at him and said, "I know him, my dad has been talking about him these days."

"Whoever is the wonder boy from Millwall, even bought his jersey."

"I always say I have to go to the scene to see it, but I can't buy a ticket."

As he spoke, he glanced at Emilia, who was pretending to be calm, and imitated Lucas and whispered: "Hey, since you are chasing your sister, it should be easy to get two more tickets."

"My dad has been looking for tickets for the home playoffs for the past two days. Unfortunately, it seems a bit too difficult to get. I think he can't find it in many places..."

Can Lucas not understand such an obvious hint?

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, he directly agreed: "What's the problem? It's up to me."

The appearance of agreeing without hesitation made the star in the girl's eyes even more intense.

Emilia hesitated to speak, but seeing the happy look of Lucas hugging his sister, she finally resisted pouring cold water on the spot.

After thinking about it, Emilia quietly took out her phone and directly edited a text message to Zhang Bo.

But although Zhang Bo was on the bench, he definitely couldn't bring his mobile phone with him.

Emilia can only wait until the game is over before making good contact with Zhang Bo...
