What Regis Le Bris is demanding from the Sunderland fans ahead of Chelsea game

Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris has called for unity from supporters ahead of their upcoming clash against Chelsea. His plea follows a 2-0 Europa League defeat against Dinamo Zagreb at the Stadium of Light, where the team was booed at both halftime and the final whistle. Le Bris stated he understands the fans' frustration but urged them to stick together with the players and coaching staff.

The loss compounds a difficult start to the campaign, with Sunderland sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table after winning only one of their opening nine league games. Despite mounting pressure on his position, Le Bris noted that the club's board backed him earlier in the week following a domestic loss to Coventry City.
