Just four days after playing their first League Cup game on August 20, Dagenham played away in the second round of the English League Three.
The opponent is Ciudad del Este.
This is an absolutely weak team in the English League Three. It barely managed to avoid relegation last season and only stayed in the English League Three with a one-point advantage.
Although the competition is intensive.
But Su Yun still arranged the main lineup. After all, it is only the beginning of the season, and the players' physical fitness is still no problem. In addition, Williams, Lampard, and Kilbani are all physical madmen. Playing two games in four days, although
The load is heavy, but not unbearable.
Williams started to let go of the pressure and his performance in the midfield was getting better and better.
Williams' outstanding performance has benefited Dagenham's two wingers even more. Of course, the one who shines the most is still Kewell. In the eyes of fans, no matter how outstanding Williams is, he cannot compare.
A player who directly scores a goal or assists.
Even in the eyes of some English League 3 coaches, they see Kewell more.
Because Kewell's direct threat is too great.
Once a breakthrough is made on the left, no one in the English League C can stop it. Kewell can create an absolute threat whether he shoots or passes the ball.
Although Ciudad Este has been in English League Three longer than Dagenham, they are simply not as good as Dagenham in terms of strength. Of course, looking at the strength data of Kewell, Lampard, and Williams, they are completely
English League One level.
The statistics of Kilbane and Harrison are also in line with the standards of the English League Two.
So even though Dagenham is a newly promoted club, its strength can be counted in the English League Three.
Facing Este City away from home, Dagenham performed very well. With Kewell's pass and shot, they defeated Este City 2-0. They also won two consecutive victories in the English League Three.
The English League Three has two more teams than the English Football League.
There are twenty-four teams in the English League Three, so there are forty-six league games each season.
Therefore, the competition schedule is also very full.
The third round of the English League Three is August 27, only three days since the last game.
Now Su Yun can't continue to arrange some main players to play. After all, the schedule is too intensive and there are too many games. For example, Dagenham's current number one star player Kewell's physical strength is not very bad.
.
But he still couldn't stand this kind of game for three or four days in a row.
After all, he is a player with first-class skills. And he is only eighteen years old this year. Although he is only on loan and not a player from Dagenham. But Su Yun is not willing to let a genius have any problems on his hands due to overwork.
So Su Yun replaced Kewell in this game.
There is also high center Harrison. He has good physical strength, but at 1.93 meters tall, running is more tiring than other players.
But midfielders Williams, Lampard and Kilbani continued to play.
Williams and Lampard are both physical maniacs. Especially Lampard, who runs the best on the team during the game. Because Williams' offensive ability has not been developed much, he is more at the back.
At the waist position.
Therefore, Williams moves less than Lampard.
But the two of them still run a lot. The two of them have played three games so far, and the running distance of the two of them in each game is more than 10,000 meters. In the current English League C, it is almost rare to see
A player who runs more than 10,000 meters in a game.
In English League Three, players running eight or nine kilometers is already pretty good.
Even so, Lampard and Williams are still full of energy. They practice extra every time they train.
Kewell did not play, and Dagenham's direct attack power dropped a lot. However, the midfield advantage led by Williams and Lampard is still very obvious. The absence of Kewell will affect the team.
attack power, but Dagenham's overall performance was better.
When Kewell was here, although it was Williams who controlled the team's operations, no one could ignore Kewell's powerful offensive power. Therefore, during the frontcourt offense, Williams would also intentionally or unintentionally provide
More chances for Kewell.
Now that Kewell is missing, the midfield players have more coordination.
This is what Su Yun hopes. In fact, Su Yun hopes that Kewell can also integrate into the team's overall play style. Unfortunately, Kewell's strength is too strong, unless Williams' strength can already control the ball.
Team, otherwise Kewell will still be like this.
The opponent in the third round of the English League 3 is Scunthorpe United, a team in the middle of the English League 3. It is not a bad team in the English 3 League, but it is not a very strong team either. Facing the Lanzhou team with a strength of more than 150
In front of midfielders like Parde and Williams, there is simply not enough to watch.
Although Kewell was missing, Dagenham still defeated Scunthorpe United 1-0 away from home thanks to a surprise attack from Kilbani.
Four days later, on August 31, Dagenham ushered in the fourth round of the English League Three.
The opponent in this game is Northampton, a strong team in English League Three.
Su Yun even replaced many main players in this game to allow them to rest. Even Williams and Lampard sat on the bench, while Kewell was left in the frontcourt.
Cowell is indeed loved by thousands of people.
Kewell's popularity at Dagenham's home stadium exceeds everyone else. And his strength is also the best in English League Three. This game lacks many main players, but with Kewell, anything is possible. Kewell
In this game, he once again completed one pass and one shot, defeating Northampton, a strong team in the English Third Division, with a score of 2 to 1.
After four consecutive wins in four rounds, Dagenham actually achieved a good result of 12 points.
The entire English League Three was shocked.
Is this a newly promoted team?
Of course, including the League Cup games, it is already five consecutive victories.
Three days later, on September 3, Dagenham played at home against Norwich, their opponent in the first round of the League Cup.
Because they lost to Dagenham 0-3 in the first game, Norwich completely gave up on the League Cup. This time, there were many fewer players on the expedition to Dagenham, even the first-team substitutes. No.
Few young players appeared in the game lineup.
But there was nothing interesting about the game.
Su Yun's idea for this game is very simple. It is to maintain the three-goal advantage and to let the main players rest. Therefore, the game is very boring. Norwich does not pay attention to it. Su Yun only needs to maintain the advantageous score.
The game ended in a dull manner, 0-1. Dagenham lost 0-1 at home to Norwich.
The goal scored for Norwich was a 17-year-old youngster.
Welsh youngster Craig Bellamy. Bellamy, who is only seventeen years old, used his speed to score the only goal.
But it's no use anymore.
Dagenham defeated Norwich City 3-1 in two games and entered the second round of the League Cup.
After the game, the matchups for the second round of the League Cup were quickly announced.
Dagenham were drawn against Millwall, also in east London.
