"Congratulations, young man. You and your team are outstanding. I hope to have the opportunity to play against you again."
Although he lost the game, Dario Grady didn't look depressed at all. He still congratulated Su Yun in a personable manner.
"Thanks, Coach Grady."
Su Yun has met many coaches in the UK, but Dario Grady is definitely the coach Su Yun admires the most. So Su Yun smiled and nodded politely to Dario Grady.
"Coach Grady, I wish your team can be promoted to League One this season."
Crewe's offense and defense are not very good. But the strong strength of the midfield is something Su Yun personally felt today. Neil Lennon, Danny Murphy, and Robbie Savage are all strong.
extraordinary.
Danny Murphy is the most famous among them.
Su Yun has heard of Danny Murphy's fame in the English League Three. He is now the main player of the England youth team. Although he is not as famous as a genius like Owen, he is also the main player of the England national youth team.
I heard that a wealthy club like Liverpool is already interested in him.
But after today's game, Su Yun was even more impressed by Neil Lennon and Robbie Savage.
Especially Robbie Savage.
It is simply too strong. Robbie Savage is even good enough to play in the Premier League. Although not as strong as Manchester United's Keane and Butt, he is better than the Sunderland midfielders who have played against Dagenham.
I don’t know how many times the field is stronger.
With such good players, Su Yun believes that Crewe will be able to upgrade.
Of course that's assuming they don't leave the Crew.
"Thank you."
Dario Grady nodded.
…………
By this time, there were suddenly more games.
Just after the League Cup, there was the English League Three, and then there was the FA Cup. It was three games a week, and the team couldn't stand it at all.
This time is no exception.
Just four days after the FA Cup match, Dagenham faced Chelsea at home.
The main players, even physical maniacs like Williams and Lampard, they can't stand it anymore. So Su Yun can only adopt a rotation method. Gao Cheshida is not a strong team, but Dagenham's substitute
The strength is too poor.
Su Yun didn't even think about scoring three points at home.
Although the slogans were shouted loudly during the mobilization, it is a pity that strength is strength and there is no room for any sloppiness on your part.
Dagenham almost tried their best to draw with Chelsea 1-1 at home.
After finishing the game against the Gao Che Shi Da team, we could finally take a breather.
Of course it's just a temporary relaxation.
Because there are only two games in the nearly half a month from now. But this does not mean that the games are not intensive, because after half a month of relaxation, we will enter the devil's schedule. It is also commonly known as the Christmas schedule in English football.
Including the second round of the FA Cup, a total of four games will be played in seven days.
Su Yun almost cried when he saw the schedule.
It would be nice to have a lineup as thick as Manchester United. I can rotate and play at will and kill you. It's a pity that Dagenham is not Manchester United.
On December 14, Dagenham challenged Torquay United away.
During the game, although Dagenham had fielded their main players, they were in average form and were held to a 0-0 draw by the weak Torquay United.
…………
"Su, what do you think about the next game?"
Chavez's expression was somewhat serious.
Of course, the same goes for Su Yun. Because there is a League Three game on December 21st, followed by the second round of the FA Cup on December 23rd. And there is another League Three game on December 26th.
There is a more important point.
That is December 21st, Dagenham’s opponent is Fulham.
Because of two consecutive draws, Fulham has tied with Dagenham. The two sides now have the same points. Therefore, this game can also be said to be related to the top position of the English League Three. And even the following
The Wigan team has already caught up.
This is related to the issue of whether it can be upgraded directly.
The opponent in the second round of the FA Cup on December 23 is Watford. Watford was a team that was relegated to the English League Two last season.
That's what Chavez asked.
Watford is not a very strong opponent. But it is certainly much stronger than Dagenham's substitutes. Fulham is also a strong team in England Third Division, and it is important to be able to hold Dagenham tightly.
You can see their strength.
Moreover, Fulham has been working hard to upgrade since they were relegated from the English League Two two years ago.
Therefore they are very strong.
This is a dilemma. Either choose the league or the cup. It can only be one of the two.
Dagenham does not yet have the strength to advance on both fronts.
Su Yun kept pointing his fingers at his desk, lost in thought.
Of course Su Yun would not give up any game if he could. But now it is time to choose. Whether to choose the league or the FA Cup.
If you choose a league, the purpose is obvious.
Now that Dagenham are at the top of the table, once they choose the league they will be promoted at the end of the season.
And choose the cup?
To be honest, Dagenham really has no hope of winning the championship.
One is to upgrade, and the other is that it is impossible to win the championship.
Su Yun frowned, but in the end he was determined. "FA Cup? Let's play in the FA Cup."
"Su!"
Chavez shook his head.
"Su, the cup match is too random. The league match is more certain."
Chavez disagreed with Su Yun's choice. Although Dagenham defeated Manchester United in an upset, it was only because Manchester United did not pay much attention to Dagenham. Therefore, Dagenham was given the opportunity to upset.
Once the top teams in the Premier League really value your truth, Dagenham really doesn't have much chance of telling the truth.
Therefore, whether it is the League Cup or the FA Cup, there is no possibility of winning. Instead, if you focus on the league, there is a possibility of promotion.
For the club, this is more important.
"The league is still very long. We still have a chance. But the cup is just a game. We focus on the cup now, and we can slowly adjust the league."
Su Yun shook his head.
So what if the league is upgraded?
Is promotion to the English League Three useless? It may be a little better for the club, but how much benefit does it have for Su Yun?
At first, Dagenham was also ranked first in the English League Three, but few clubs were interested in Su Yun. But after Su Yun became a blockbuster in the League Cup, the number of clubs interested in Su Yun increased sharply.
It can even be said that the results in the League Cup have made Su Yun famous in British football.
This made Su Yun understand.
The saying that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley is completely nonsense. If you want to succeed, you still need some representative events.
For Su Yun, the cup is such a stage.
Of course Su Yun is happy to be upgraded. After all, Dagenham is his first place to stay after arriving in the UK. Dagenham club is good, and Su Yun is also happy.
But Su Yun is just a layman after all.
You wouldn't sacrifice your own chance for Dagenham.
And what if Dagenham is promoted to the English League Two? Mark Holland has no interest in football at all, and it is simply unrealistic to expect him to continue investing. Without investment, even if he reaches the English League Two, he will not be able to survive.
Su Yun excused himself in this way.
The success of the League Cup made Su Yun very keen on cup competitions.
