"Dagenham's formation today is a bit weird, a bit like the Dutch team's 4-3-3."
Because Mortensen has commented on several Dagenham games, he is familiar with Dagenham. Dagenham has always been 4-4-2 because of the strong running ability of Lampard and Williams.
There is also Kewell's powerful ability on the wing, so it is very powerful.
But today's style of play looks very different.
"Judging from the first few minutes of the game, Su Yun consciously played a three-forward formation. Harrison was at the front, and Kewell and Kilbani were active on his wings. He also sent out defensive players in the midfield.
Mark Held joins Williams in midfield."
Mortensen explained with some surprise.
Because in the conservative English football world, many teams play the same way. The 4-4-2 parallel position has been fixed for decades, and now suddenly we see a 4-4-2 similar to the Dutch team.
-3-3, Mortensen was certainly a little surprised.
Yes, Dagenham's formation for this game is 4-3-3.
This is just a simple attempt by Su Yun. In the last game, Su Yun's formation unexpectedly changed to 4-3-3, which also made Su Yun feel a different style of play. When Harrison goes up, although it will weaken
Harrison's role.
But it gave the two wingers Kewell and Kilbani enough space to play, and also gave Lampard and Williams, who came in from behind, room to attack.
Sacrificing Harrison alone allowed everyone around him to perform.
So Su Yun tried this style of play again in this game.
In fact, Dagenham's playing style still does not break away from the 4-4-2 category. After all, Su Yun also accepted the 4-4-2 playing style for ten years in China. When he came to the UK, what he saw and learned was 4-4-2.
-4-2 change. Therefore, the 4-4-2 style of play is deeply rooted in the bones.
It can't change all at once.
Dagenham's current playing style seems to be three forwards, but Kilbane is actually more of a winger. Only Kewell acts like a free agent in the frontcourt, or acts like a shadow forward.
Around Harrison.
It looks carefully that Dagenham still has the forward combination of Harrison and Kewell in front. It is still a two-forward combination.
But this change still leaves Peter Reid and the Sunderland players confused.
In their traditional thinking, Harrison is the team's high center. Next to him, he should be paired with a fast forward or a flexible forward. But next to him is Kewell who can pass and shoot, similar to
The feeling of nine and a half.
In fact, it is difficult for a No. 9 and a half player to survive in England.
But when a player with such characteristics really emerged, the Sunderland players were at a loss.
"Harrison, pass back... Kewell... he passed the player who was defending him, he went in... Kewell, Kewell... shot!" The fledgling Kewell is not afraid of tigers.
If they are experienced veterans, they will handle the ball decisively and quickly at the front of the penalty area. This is because the defensive skills of English defenders are not as good as those of Italian defenders, but they are faster and more aggressive than Italian defenders.
If you hesitate even a little while handling the ball, the ball will be intercepted.
But Cowell is different.
He is less experienced than those old players. But Kewell is more energetic than them and dares to do various actions near the penalty area.
Just like passing through midfield without fear.
"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!"
"I often say that Kewell is a rare talented player. At the age of 18, he has already performed so superbly. You can look forward to Kewell's future." After watching Kewell play several games, Mortensen said about Kewell
I simply admire him highly.
Kewell is good at everything, whether it's passing, technique, passing, or shooting.
The game only lasted thirteen minutes, and Kewell scored a very beautiful goal.
When he saw the goal, Kewell raised his hands in demonstration, clenched his fists, and then shouted loudly.
Dagenham, Kewell has no sense of belonging at all. In Kewell's heart, Dagenham is just a stepping stone for him. His ultimate goal is to return to Leeds United and grab his own.
Main position.
This is Cowell's purpose.
So Kewell worked a hundred times harder. Because Kewell knew that the club would definitely be watching his performance at Dagenham. The better his performance, the more qualified he would be to challenge Leeds United in the future.
Su Yun clenched his hands.
Cowell, Cowell!
Su Yun really loves and hates Kewell. If possible, Su Yun really hopes to buy Kewell, what a good player he is. Of course, he is not without anger in his heart, because Kewell is not like Lampard.
Lampard is a very low-key and kind person.
Although he is very strong, he quickly got to play with the Dagenham players. Even Williams, who is not popular, likes Lampard, which is enough to see Lampard's character.
Cowell is completely different.
The look of looking down on the lower leagues and looking down on the players in the English League 3 is revealed at every turn. Some young players can't see it, but Su Yun can feel it.
Kewell is a very proud person.
His pride sometimes made Su Yun very angry.
Grandma is a bear!
I also have a world-class talent like Williams on my staff.

"Who is this young man?"
Murray watched the game silently from the beginning. When he saw Kewell scoring, he showed no expression. He didn't even change the way he was sitting.
"Harry Kewell is a player from Leeds United and is on loan from Dagenham this season."
Kaden quickly responded.
In fact, Kaden didn't know these things at first. But there was a game coming soon, so Kaden knew something about it. As the head of Sunderland's transfer department, he has a strong interest in young talents.
"Not a Dagenham player?"
"no."
Murray nodded and did not continue speaking.
Kaden doesn’t know what Murray means. Could it be that Murray is interested in Kewell and wants to buy Kewell? Kaden knows his boss. Murray was a British kitchen and bathroom tycoon back then. Although he is not a world-class
A very rich man, but he can also be regarded as one of the top rich men in England.
Murray has invested heavily in Sunderland in recent years.
Murray has never been stingy in the transfer market.
But Cowell?
Although Kaden said nothing, he completely denied it in his heart.
According to information obtained by Cardon through his own channels, Kewell is a standout player in Leeds United’s youth academy. Leeds United’s senior management also attaches great importance to Kewell and it is absolutely impossible to sell him.
"Dave, Dagenham plays a little differently."
Just when Carden was weighing the possibility of buying Kewell, Murray suddenly asked Carden.
"Yes. At first I thought it was the Dutch winger's style of play, but now and then it looks like the Italian team's style of play."
Murray lost his voice again.
Kaden is confused. Chairman Murray is really funny. I don’t know what I’m doing here today?
…………
While Murray and Carden were chatting in the VIP seats, Dagenham scored another goal against Sunderland.
The goal this time was still so simple.
The ball was passed to Harrison, who once again handed the ball to Kewell with a header. This time Kewell did not rush directly into the penalty area, but broke through along the outside. Finally, he passed the ball back to the center.
Lampard, who stepped in from behind, fired a scorching shot and once again broke into Sunderland's goal.
"Dagenham's tactics seem to be very simple. Look for Harrison with big feet, and then use Harrison's header to pass to Kewell. The next step is Kewell's performance. If there is a chance, Kewell will shoot. No
Just pass the ball to someone else when you get the chance.”
Alan Hansen admired Dagenham's simple style of play. "Look at the goal just now, it was a textbook style of play."
"Yeah." Mortensen also agreed with Alan Hansen's view. "Coach Su's use of Kewell and Lampard was the finishing touch. Especially Lampard, I have watched his games before. At that time,
Lampard gives the impression that he can run and has no special characteristics. But now being arranged by coach Su like this, it can be seen that Lampard has a strong ability to move forward."
Mortensen and Alan Hansen were not done praising Dagenham, who scored another goal.
The scorer this time was Harrison.
Kilbani passed the ball from the right, and Harrison scored his third goal of the game with a header.
Before the first half was over, Dagenham already led Sunderland 3-0.
Su Yun smiled.
Su Yun knew that he had won this game. He was about to enter the fourth round of the League Cup.
