Sunderland performed amazingly at the start of the Premier League this season, scoring 11 points in 6 games, ranking fifth in the standings. The Post believes that behind Sunderland's success is coach Le Brees' calm philosophy, the club's clear signing strategy, and the extraordinary leadership of core player Zachar.
Le Brees stressed that the team must maintain balance and reality, saying: "We will not be complacent and will not be overly lost." This mentality helps the team adjust quickly after losing. The club's success also stems from a wise investment of up to 180 million pounds last summer. The team's transformation is not blindly burning money, but introducing players like former Paris Saint-Germain champion Mukiller with victory experience.
The one who has the greatest impact on the team is undoubtedly Zhaka's joining. Defender Dan Ballard revealed a shocking past: he had been in Arsenal youth training team and had never played professional games, but Zachar not only recognized him immediately after coming to Sunderland, but also took the initiative to talk to him. Ballard sighed: "I never thought a player could have such a big impact on a team, but he was an incredible motivator and he raised the bar. When you train, it feels like you need to impress him." The process of signing Zacha itself reflects the determination of the club. It was revealed that this was the result of a "collective effort" and the sports director, especially the boss Kirill Louis Drefus, was deeply involved, and the boss's participation "may be higher than any boss."
Now, the team atmosphere is booming, with coach Lebris and goalkeeper Roofs both winning the best of the month nomination. As he is about to play away from Manchester United, Lebres said the team will "stay humble and do his best", but there is no doubt that Sunderland will now walk into Old Trafford with his head held high.
