Introduction
This was a life-and-death battle for promotion to the Premier League worth 220 million pounds. The 19-year-old Tom Watson scored a winning goal in his farewell match to help Sunderland, which had experienced an eight-year slump, return to the Premier League. This young team, with an average age of only 23.4 years old, wrote a miracle with their feet.
This season's Championship League is enough to go down in history. Two teams with 100 points were born in the standings. Leeds United beat Burnley to win the championship with the advantage of goal difference, and the two teams entered the Premier League together.
The competition for the remaining spot is even more intense. Compared with the mutual concessions in the German Second Division, Hamburg has not forgiven the Bundesliga for seven years. The temptation of the Premier League is too great. Luton has experienced two consecutive relegations from the Premier League to English League One and is also worth a look.
According to the new Premier League broadcasting share, the team ranked last will also receive a share of 220 million pounds.
From the perspective of economic benefits, this is a match worth 220 million pounds, which is full of gold content, and the benefits obtained are even greater than the Champions League final.
In the early morning of May 25th, Tokyo time, Sunderland and Sheffield United staged the final showdown at Wembley Stadium. Both teams used red and white striped shirts as the main colors. Sheffield United has been a regular in the Premier League in recent years, while Sunderland has experienced the lowest point. Since being relegated from the Premier League 8 years ago, they have encountered financial crises, relegation to the English League One, and player loss, but the only constant among countless variables is the support of local fans.
For this reason, the documentary "Sunderland 'Til I Die" was born. Inspired by this documentary, Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds and star producer Mike Henry bought Wrexham, a team in the English National League at the time, and made a documentary "Welcome to Wrexham". Now they have been promoted to the English Championship, and Sunderland has realized its dream of entering the Premier League.
A Hollywood drama is being staged on the football field.
The process of this play-off can be described as ups and downs. Sunderland was founded in 1879 and Sheffield United was founded in 1889. The history of the two teams combined is 282 years, which is older than the teams in the Champions League final, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
The two teams are very close in terms of ranking and value, plus the temptation of 200 million profit share, this is destined to be a fierce and difficult game. In the 25th minute, Sheffield United scored a goal by Campbell. Sunderland did not equalize the score until the 75th minute. Mayanda equalized the score with a powerful shot.
The two teams then fell into a stalemate and the game had to go into overtime. In the 95th minute, Sunderland's Tom Watson killed the game. The 19-year-old young player had only scored three goals in the entire professional league, including this priceless goal.
This game was also his farewell match. In April, Brighton officially announced that they had signed Watson for 10 million pounds, which means that Watson earned 230 million pounds for Sunderland in this month.
When the final whistle sounded, the entire Wembley Stadium was in a frenzy. The Black Cats Sunderland returned to the Premier League after 8 years of lows. This young team quietly ushered in a revival.
The core of the team is Job Bellingham, who is only 20 years old. He has an older brother who is the core midfielder of Real Madrid, and his younger brother led the team to promotion. Bellingham has failed to win any of the four major titles in Real Madrid this season. Both of them have bright futures.
Jobe was elected the best young player of the season in the Championship and was also shortlisted for the Championship's best team. Jobe's midfield partner is Chris Rigg, who is only 17 years old. The oldest player in the team's main lineup is 30-year-old central defender O'Nien.
The average age of the team is only 23.4 years old. The team's salary ranks fifth from the bottom in the Championship, but they relied on their fighting spirit to fight their way out of the play-offs where the giants were rampant. After the game, O'Nien cried and said: "These young people wrote miracles with their feet. We deserve a place in the Premier League."
Sunderland, with limited financial resources, may not dare to increase investment even if they have a guaranteed income of 200 million pounds. They don't want to repeat Luton's mistakes. Club chairman David Jones once said: "We want to become a beacon of football in the northeast of England. In the next three years, the investment in youth training will double. The goal is to cultivate the next Jordan Henderson."
With the growth of Jobe, Reece and others, this goal seems not far away. The team's top priority next season is to avoid relegation, but these young people are also coveted by various powerful teams. Can Jobe and Reece be retained?
Can the players trained by the youth training system quickly compete in the Premier League?
