Quinn has once again become the core of Sunderland's offense. Allardyce is a coach who likes high forwards and then designs offensive tactics using the high forwards' headers. All his offenses revolve around a high forward.
Or it could be built with several tall and strong players as the centerpiece.
It was because of Allardyce's play design that two people were sacrificed.
One is Boboski who is very uncomfortable on the right wing. Boboski is a player who can create threats as long as he has the ball at his feet, but now it is difficult for Boboski to have such an opportunity. This style of play
Next, Boboski is not even as powerful as the full midfielders of other mid-to-lower teams.
The other one is Gareth Barry, whom Su Yun attached great importance to at the beginning.
Compared to Barry, Allardyce values Tim Cahill, who just transferred here this season.
Allardyce doesn't need organization in the midfield.
There is no need for a midfielder of Barry's type.
Instead, he liked Cahill more.
Because Cahill's ability to get in from behind is very good. It is very suitable for Quinn's header. It also fits Allardyce's tactics.
Terry has been keeping an eye on Quinn.
Su Yun has always attached great importance to Quinn. Only after coaching Quinn can you know how good he is. So Su Yun removed Ayala because Ayala's height could not defend Quinn at all. So Su Yun activated the special
Here is this young player.
Sunderland started the game very directly.
After getting the ball in the backcourt, he looks for Quinn with his big feet.
"Steve, if it was Quinn two years ago, I would just put Jack in the back to defend Quinn."
Su Yun didn't have any worries about Sunderland's playing style, and instead chatted with Clark next to him.
"Um."
Clark nodded and agreed with Su Yun.
Two years ago, even a year ago, Quinn was invincible in the Premier League. But not anymore.
"Quinn's peak state came a little late. If he could have the strength he has now when he was in his mid-twenties, it would be really scary."
Clark said with regret.
Su Yun nodded.
Quinn is a typical late-blooming player. When he reached the age of thirty, Quinn's technical ability began to gradually improve, and he began to exert his greatest strength in English football. If he was in his mid-twenties,
With the strength of the previous two years, the most powerful center in British football is Quinn.
pity.
He has just reached his peak period and is already very old.
"He's old. Coach Allardyce chose a bad time. He made a big mistake by betting on Quinn."
Su Yun did not deny Allardyce's strength, but this time he was wrong.
Really wrong.
Quinn is very good, but he is old enough.
Thirty-four years old.
Quinn is not one of those technical forwards. A technical forward like Zola. He doesn't need to contribute much in a game. He just needs to pass a good ball at the right time, make a beautiful breakthrough, and make a wonderful shot.
, you can complete the task.
Su Yun will not ask Zola to go head-to-head with his opponents, or to actively run around.
But not Quinn.
As the current tactical fulcrum of Sunderland, Quinn not only needs to run during a game, but also has to fight hand-to-hand with the opponent's defenders and grab high-altitude balls. For a player who is 27 or 28 years old, if he wants to complete such a task
Quantity and physical strength are both problematic.
Not to mention the 34-year-old Quinn who is 1.93 meters tall.
The Quinn of a year ago could easily outplay the Terry of today.
But now, even though Quinn is more than capable, he is very experienced and knows everything, but his physical strength is already very poor.
In the second half of last season, Su Yun had already noticed the decline in Quinn's physical strength.
Quinn's prime is behind him.
"Southgate... made a long pass, Quinn hit the ball... Deschamps stole the ball."
"Duff. Crossed the ball...Quinn, flicked his head and hit the goal. It was too light."
Quinn is indeed very experienced.
But his physical strength could no longer keep up with his thinking. He had thought about it several times, but his body stopped him from thinking.
Terry is becoming more confident as he plays.
Is that all Quinn does?
Although Terry has been at a disadvantage in the competition for high-altitude balls so far, he does not feel discouraged at all. On the contrary, the more he plays, the more excited he becomes. The more he plays, the more confident he becomes.
"Robbie Savage, long pass...Terry, for the first time I saw Terry get in front. Terry headed the ball and Lampard got the ball!"
After twenty minutes of duel, Terry gradually figured out Quinn's weakness.
As Su Yun said, Quinn is really strong.
Terry is a central defender with a very strong heading ability. During training in the team, few people can beat Terry in heading the ball. It is estimated that only Williams in the entire Chelsea team can header better than Terry, and the others
Including Desailly, they are no match for Terry.
But compared with Quinn today, Terry knows what it means to have the best among the best.
But Quinn also has big weaknesses.
The body's explosive power has become much weaker.
So this time Terry rushed up from behind and grabbed the ball before Quinn.
When Lampard receives the ball, there are lots of spaces in the midfield. As Sunderland plays a traditional 4-4-2, if the full midfielders cannot cooperate with the defense, there will be a lot of spaces in the midfield. Cahill often cuts in.
Up, only Robbie Savage is left in the middle. Boboski on the right is definitely not an English-style winger.
So when Lampard took the ball in the left midfield position, he was very calm. Instead, Cahill, who was in the front, was ready to defend.
Lampard didn't hesitate.
After half a season of cooperation, counterattack is very simple for Sunderland players.
Lampard directly handed the ball to Zola in front.
"Zola, Robbie Savage, come and defend. Zola, cross!"
Zola's status at Chelsea is very special.
It is also very special in the way of playing.
Su Yun's request for Zola is very simple. He just needs to stay in the frontcourt and use his excellent passing and shooting abilities when he gets the ball. It's the same this time, after Zola gets the ball
, and easily hoisted the ball into the Sunderland penalty area.
Hasselbaink kept pressing.
However, the focus of Sunderland's defense is not on Hasselbaink.
Because when it comes to headers, Hasselbaink is average.
What frightened them the most was Williams coming in from behind.
Therefore, Lucas Neal and Robbie Savage were both ready to defend Williams.
But Robbie Savage was already a step too late.
Compared with Williams, Lucas Neal is completely at a disadvantage when it comes to high-altitude balls.
"Williams, header."
“goooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!”
"Williams' way of scoring goals is always so simple. A backward header, I don't know how many times Williams has scored in this way. This is already Williams' own goal.
Eleventh goal for Chelsea this season."
Scoring a goal is that simple.
Su Yun just sat on the bench and applauded. In order to develop Williams' scoring ability, Su Yun has moved Williams forward in these games in order to give Williams an offensive position.
Su Yun sent Di Matteo back to play Williams' original position.
Then let Williams go up and play DiMatteo's position.
Sure enough, with the current style of play, Williams' scoring rate is getting higher and higher.
Williams is the same as ever.
There was no celebration, not even the gesture of clenching fists.
Mortensen continued: "Williams. He scored a goal for his old club. But he didn't celebrate after the goal. I think it's because he still has feelings for the Sunderland fans. He didn't want to celebrate the goal here.
ball."
Mortensen's mouth never stopped.
Keep talking.
Unfortunately, he really guessed wrong this time.
That's what Williams is.
After he scored, there was no celebration.
As for the so-called relationship with Sunderland, it is all nonsense. The deepest and deepest feelings in Williams' heart were given to Newcastle when he was a child. Since being abandoned by Newcastle, Williams has never liked anything in his heart.
Other clubs.
The countless clubs he passed after that were all just passers-by in Williams' mind.
This is true for Dagenham, where I stayed for two years, and it is still the same for Sunderland, where I stayed for three seasons.
Chelsea, where Williams currently plays, in Williams' mind is just a place where he plays football. It is impossible for Williams to devote his emotions to any one of these clubs.
He had that door closed from the moment he left Newcastle.
Except for the wonderful Newcastle when he was a child, no other club would enter the depths of his heart. Of course, if Williams still misses Newcastle, even Williams himself would deny it.
But somewhere deep in his heart, there must be a place left for Newcastle. It’s just that he has bandaged it up. Even he is not aware of it.
To put it simply, Williams has never liked any club except Newcastle, which he liked as a child.
Williams was not at all burdened with the goal that scored Sunderland.
Williams didn't celebrate. The other players didn't care about the mood of the Sunderland fans. Every one of them came over to congratulate Williams on his goal.
Seeing Williams' goal, Su Yun knew that the game had been won.
Sunderland's style of play may be useful for small teams, but it is useless for a team like Chelsea with strong defense and sharp counterattacks. Su Yun is well aware of the loopholes in Sunderland's defense, and his counterattacks are almost accurate.
.
Robbie Savage's habits and Lucas Neal's weaknesses were all completely mastered by Su Yun.
The game was played calmly.
However, Chelsea took advantage of two counterattacks and easily settled the score at 3-0.
As the game ended, Chelsea had already tied Arsenal in the standings. They even led Arsenal on goal difference and moved into second place in the Premier League.
