Twenty minutes into the game, both Dagenham and Crewe were fighting in the midfield.
Both sides are strong in the midfield.
Therefore, both sides chose to fight in the midfield.
The midfielder that Su Yun has always been proud of cannot take any advantage in front of Crewe's bulldozer-like midfielder. In particular, Robbie Savage's defense is extremely ruthless. In the midfielder and Lampard
, Williams went head-to-head and did not fall behind at all.
Both Williams and Lampard have very tough feet.
Even if the two of them were fighting against those tough guys in the brutal English League Three, they would not suffer any physical losses at all. Even Williams did not suffer any physical harm in the English League Three.
But I didn't expect it.
This defective product of Manchester United's 1992 generation is actually so strong.
He didn't pay attention to his movements at all when he was defending. He showed off the soles of his shoes at every turn, and he didn't care about getting hurt when he collided with others for the ball.
Too fierce.
There is a good saying. If you are too bold, you will be afraid of being stunned, and if you are stunned, you will be afraid of losing your life.
That's the kind of person Robbie Savage is.
I don’t know if this kid is here to play football or to play hard. He is not afraid of getting hurt at all. Such a player is a butcher on the court, and many people hate him. But many people also feel scared.
This murderous spirit is very important for defensive players.
Robbie Savage succeeded.
His ferocity really caused a lot of trouble for Dagenham's midfield. Especially technical players like Kewell, what they dislike the most are butcher-type defensive players like Robbie Savage.
Su Yun observed it for nearly twenty minutes.
Both sides are fighting for the midfield, but there is not much effect. Robbie Savage and Neil Lennon are very strong defensively. But when it comes to forward ability, they still have many shortcomings. Danny Murphy
Not bad.
However, Crewe's defense is strong, and Dagenham's defense is not ambiguous at all.
In particular, Williams' defense at the back is no worse than Robbie Savage. If Robbie Savage relies on his murderous spirit and ruthless defense to gain a foothold, then Williams is far better than Robbie Savage.
He is much smarter.
Relying on his strong body and his judgment of the ball path, Williams can stand in front of the defender and be able to block everything.
Neither side can attack.
If this continues, it will become stalemate.
Su Yun stepped forward and waved to Williams.
"Jack, don't continue passing the ball in the midfield. Make it simple and go directly to Jace. Then tell Frank, don't dribble the ball in the midfield and pass the ball. He has only one task, which is to control the second point. Good job
Cooperate with Jace."
“Simple and straightforward!”
Dagenham's midfielder is very strong, but it is not capable of directly suppressing the opponent's midfielder. Williams and Lampard are not yet mature enough to directly suppress Crewe.
So Su Yun immediately gave up the midfield confrontation.
After 20 minutes of observation, Su Yun had discovered that Crewe's midfield was strong, while the back line and forwards were relatively weak. So Su Yun decided to adopt the simplest style of play.
This is something that happens to all teams in England.
Long pass to Jace Harrison.
Harrison's strength is indeed not high. He is not much different from the Crewe defenders in strength, but Harrison is born with good conditions. With his height of 1.93 meters, even if the Crewe defenders hit the ball at high altitude, Harrison's strength is indeed not high.
The judgment of landing point is on par with, or even better than, Harrison's.
But being 1.93 meters tall is a huge advantage.
At 1.93 meters, even standing there is a deterrent. Not to mention Harrison's jumping ability is not bad at all.
Soon Dagenham's style of play changed.
After Williams got the ball, he didn't hand it to Kewell and Kilbani, but directly passed the ball to Harrison. Let Harrison control the first point, and then Kewell, Kilbani, and Lampard all
It's to grab the second point.
The gameplay is very simple.
Even Kewell gave up dribbling and started playing the simplest and most primitive style of play.
After getting the ball, it is the simplest to pass and shoot.
"Williams...Harrison, header...Lampard shoots!"
"Kewell got the ball...crossed and Kilbani headed the ball!"
The situation suddenly changed suddenly.
Dagenham's shots became more numerous.
Dario Gradi frowned and stood up.
Before the game, Dario Grady had studied Dagenham. If it had been before, of course Dario Grady would not have had the time to study a League Three team. But since Dagenham defeated Manchester United, it has become famous.
Too big.
As an opponent, Dario Gradi also analyzed Dagenham.
Grady knew himself and the enemy, so he and Dagenham fought in the midfield. Unexpectedly, Dagenham's playing style changed in just twenty minutes.
Dario Grady's family knows his own business. Crewe has failed in the promotion play-offs every time in recent years. The biggest problem is that Crewe's offense and defense are not good. Especially the back line and forward line have the biggest problem.
A slightly better striker was poached.
If it hadn't been for developing these midfielders, Crewe would have disbanded long ago.
Crewe's back line are all very traditional English defenders. They have a tenacious style and strong physical confrontation ability, but they are not as good as Harrison in terms of innate conditions. They are already at a disadvantage in terms of height, so they are completely at a disadvantage in the competition for high-altitude balls.
Disadvantages.
Dagenham only needs three or two kicks to form a shot.
"How's Jace?"
Su Yun easily crossed his legs and asked Chavez next to him.
Chavez nodded.
"A high center forward like Jess is still very useful in lower-level leagues. Although his foot skills are a bit rough, his heading ability alone is enough to make him powerful in lower-level leagues."
Su Yun smiled.
Bringing Harrison to Dagenham in the summer is really the wisest choice.
Harrison certainly has many shortcomings. For example, his technique with his feet is extremely rough, and shooting with his feet is also very poor. Although his header is great, it is only because of his height and jumping ability. When it comes to judging the landing point of high-altitude balls, there is also the head
In terms of ball skills, Harrison is really not as good as many defenders and centers in English League Three and English League Two.
But this alone was enough to make Su Yun happy.
You need some heading skills, but you don't need any skills with your feet.
What Su Yun wants is Harrison's height and jumping ability. As long as he grabs the first point, the rest will be easy to handle.
While Su Yun and Chavez were chatting, the situation on the field changed.
Another long pass found Harrison.
"Harrison...Kewell got the ball!"
As the style of play became simpler, Su Yun directly put Kewell in the front, allowing Kewell to play the shadow forward position. Kewell is very good, and he performs very well even in the shadow forward position.
"Kewell, one dunk...Kewell! Shoot!"
Kewell's movements are elegant.
Kewell stopped the ball very well, and then simply dunked into a gap. Then he shot directly. Kewell is indeed superior in skills in the English League Three, but after half a year of competition, he has also learned
A lot of things arrived.
That's simplicity.
When he was in the youth team, Kewell still liked to show off his skills with his feet. But after arriving at Dagenham, especially in the English League Three, where collisions are particularly fierce, Kewell learned to handle things simply.
Because once you are embarrassed, you will easily be bumped into.
This time was no exception. A simple dunk, and then a shot. If it was the youth team, he would have rushed in with the ball.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!”
"Kewell, this is Kewell's goal."
"One to zero. Dagenham, who defeated Manchester United in an upset in the League Cup, led Crewe by one goal. It seems that Dagenham will also show off its talents in the FA Cup."
When Glady saw the ball lost, he could only shake his head.
He knew very well that once the goal was lost, it would be difficult to overtake the score. Grady, who knew Dagenham well, was very familiar with Dagenham's defense. After thinking about it, he still felt that the league should be the priority.
.
This is already the third season. He doesn't want to give up the opportunity to be promoted to League One. But thinking about the status of the FA Cup, he is very reluctant to give up.
Some hesitation.
But Dagenham didn't give him much chance to think about it.
Less than five minutes after the goal, Kewell, who performed well, got another chance.
This time, after receiving Harrison's header, Kewell accelerated and directly passed through the opponent's defender. This time, he did not shoot directly, but gave a slight push and passed the ball to the center. Lampa followed.
Germany made a shot and changed the score again.
"Two to zero, Dagenham scored two goals in five minutes."
"I have to say Crewe had no chance."
Su Yun looked at the score and laughed. Sometimes the simpler, the more effective it is.
