Chapter 3 Sunderland after four consecutive defeats

Sunderland were relegated to the Championship once again, and after four consecutive defeats, it was clear that morale had taken a considerable hit, and at this time human nature made them desperate to find a scapegoat to say things like "Ah! Actually, I'm great, but it's a pity for my teammates...". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In July 2004, Dean Whitehead joined the then Championship side Sunderland for free, and after arbitration, Sunderland had to pay Oxford United £150,000 in compensation, and Oxford United would also receive a 25% transfer fee dividend for Dean Whitehead's transfer in the future.

Dean Whitehead quickly established himself in Sunderland, winning the Championship title for Sunderland in the 2004/05 season. In the second season, he was also voted "Footballer of the Year" by his teammates. Dean Whitehead signed a three-year contract extension in 2005/06 and scored a 30-yard penalty against Tottenham Hotspur that season, but the team still lost 3-2.

Sunderland were relegated to the Championship in the 2006/07 season and Dean Whitehead captained Sunderland again after centre-back Steven Caldwell was sold to Burnley.

In my heart, Whitehead is actually a good midfielder, he is also very competent as a captain, and his performance on the pitch is also good, and he is very scrappy, but the only mistake is probably that it was not right, the mediocre Caldwell left, and at this time the new captain more or less affected the strength of the team (anyway, that's it). )

And just happened to come such a four-game losing streak, no matter home or away, no matter whether the team is strong or weak, anyway, the team has to lose.

As for the new head coach Roy Keane, as a player, Roy Keane is unmatched by them, but as a coach? They may not have any doubts about Roy Keane, but it's hard to say how much trust there is, and everything will have to wait until the next game against West Bromwich Albion, 24th in a league and 6th in the league, no matter how you look at it, the gap is huge.

It was a good day, at least for Chen Yier, but after seeing Roy Keane's black face, Chen Yier also felt a little uncomfortable, this was Chen Yier's first time participating in training, but Liam Miller swept Roy Keane's face.

Liam Miller and Roy Keane are both Irish players, and both have played for Manchester United, and even Liam Miller is also known as Roy Keane's successor, but this successor is somewhat unworthy of the name, Liam Miller only played a total of nine games in two seasons at Manchester United, and after a loan spell at Leeds United, he ended up on a free transfer to Sunderland because Manchester United did not want to renew his contract.

And now, when Roy Keane needs to establish his prestige the most, Liam Miller is late, and that's it, but Roy Keane's task is not good enough! It's a shame, and if it weren't for the dissuasion of Daryl Murphy and David Connolly, Roy Keane would definitely want this little guy to look good.

You must know that there are a lot of Irish countrymen in this team, Murphy and Connolly are both Irish players, and they also joined this season, they both honestly understand the rules, why did this kid just tear down the stage?

Liam Miller is a teenage talent who has been involved in football since he was just four years old. As a talented footballer, his athletic talent is also reflected in hockey. But as his mother, Bridt, said, "Football has always been a passion for him." ”

At the age of 11, Liam Miller won his first trophy in football. He led his school, Owens County Junior High School, to its first soccer championship in its 70-year history. It was during this match that Liam Miller was spotted by Ballincolley and began his official playing career.

On a wet and windy afternoon in County Coco, just 200 yards from Roy Keane's home, 14-year-old Liam Miller was playing for Ballinkoli against Mayfield. In this match, Liam Miller showed his potential. In the midfield position, he is both offensive and defensive, and has the style of fellow Irish Roy Keane.

Celtics Mick Kenroy still remembers Liam Miller's performance that day. "He can't wait for the fight to start, and he has an almost suffocating desire to play. He runs like crazy without the ball and always makes the right choice when the ball is at his feet. ”

Kenroy recommended Liam Miller to the Celtics, and once again Liam Miller's football career reached a defining moment. He led the Celtic junior team to sweep English youth football at the age of 15.

On his 16th birthday, Liam Miller was offered his first professional contract and soon after made his way into the Celtic first team and was considered the most promising newcomer in Scottish football at the time.

On 1 July 2004, Liam Miller fulfilled his childhood dream of joining the great Red Devils Manchester United. Back in January, Liam Miller signed a part-time contract with Manchester United. In July, Liam Miller, one of Roy Keane's successors, signed a contract with Manchester United.

Everyone knows what happened next, the boy sank, and finally disappeared from everyone, but the arrogance and habit of genius Liam Miller remained, in Liam Miller's heart, he was a player who played for Manchester United, an absolute genius, how could these teammates compare with him?

In Liam Miller's eyes, Roy Keane must have to value him, otherwise how could he sign him as soon as he became head coach (shameless, free transfer!). Leeds United, who had been loaned out before, didn't want him, young man! )

He's the absolute protagonist of the next game, he wants privileges, he wants to be different, he wants to be divided into three, six, nine and so on, he thinks he is different from these teammates.

After four consecutive defeats, Sunderland now need morale and confidence, and all this depends on the changes brought by manager Roy Keane, who values this job very much.

Whitehead tried to communicate with Liam Miller, but Liam Miller had no intention of communicating with Whitehead at all, Liam Miller is a newcomer, Whitehead's fame is out of Sunderland, who knows who he is?

In addition, now the team has dumped the "pot" to Whitehead, even if Whitehead is the captain now, Liam Miller will not eat this set anyway.

Chen Yier watched all this silently on the side, and it seemed that Sunderland had a lot of problems after four consecutive cups!
