Su Yun was very surprised by the choice of Peter Reed.
It was already January 4, 1997, and Dagenham was away to challenge Sunderland, their opponent in the third round of the FA Cup.
To Su Yun's surprise, Sunderland sent out most of their main players. This was very different from what Su Yun had thought before. Both Su Yun and Chavez thought that Sunderland's current relegation situation was in danger, and they should be able to
Give up this game.
I really didn't expect it.
Quinn suddenly appeared in Sunderland's starting lineup. Not only Quinn, but also Sunderland's left back Michael Gray and midfielder Alan Johnston also appeared in the starting lineup.
"Does Coach Reed not want to avoid relegation?"
Sunderland had just played a Premier League game on January 1st. They faced Coventry away from home with a score of 2-2.
Not only that, after playing the third round of the FA Cup, Sunderland will play another Premier League game on January 9.
In such a dense competition, Peter Reed sent so many main players.
What is he going to do?
For a player like Quinn, who is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms, playing three games in ten days and one game every three days, a game of this intensity must have exhausted him to death.
What does Peter Reed want to do?
Quinn is currently almost single-handedly supporting Sunderland's offense at Sunderland.
Players like this should be protected.
However, the doubts in his heart turned into doubts, and Su Yun's attention to Sunderland suddenly doubled. Just because of one person, Quinn!
Quinn is no simple player.
The entire Sunderland offense is related to Quinn. Sunderland is currently the biggest threat, and the only one that Su Yun pays most attention to is Quinn.
Su Yun looked at his defense line.
Who can guard Quinn?
Sure enough, Su Yun couldn't sit down after the game started.
After winning against Manchester United, Su Yun was a little arrogant. He thought that the Premier League team was nothing more than this. But after the game started, Su Yun immediately became honest.
Sunderland is a Premier League relegation team and is considered a very weak team in the Premier League.
But when Peter Reed suddenly released several main players, Su Yun found that even Sunderland was difficult to deal with. Especially Quinn, a beast who did nothing and stood in front of the goal and let Duggan
There was a rumbling sound in front of Ham's gate.
"Quinn, header...Bridges, shot! Missed."
"Johnston's cross...Quinn's header! What a pity, it just missed the goal post."
This was Su Yun's first time fighting against Quinn.
Quinn gives Su Yun the feeling that he is far more threatening than Manchester United's Andy Cole. He is even more difficult to defend.
Dagenham's Harrison is not even remotely comparable to Quinn.
Quinn is too strong.
If Harrison completely relies on his height and jumping to stir up the frontcourt, then Quinn not only relies on his height and jumping, but what is even more powerful is his heading skills. Every time Quinn heads the ball
, almost all of them can complete a shot.
Every time he saw Quinn's header, Su Yun's heart trembled.
The header was too accurate.
Su Yun has been a coach for so long, and this is the first time he has seen such an accurate header. Like a cruise missile, he can find the space in Dagenham's defense every time and pass the ball in with his header.
So damn strong.
If Quinn had played in the last League Cup, it would have been difficult to beat Sunderland.
Sunderland's style of play is also too simple.
It's not even as good as Dagenham's tactics. They just pass the high ball to Quinn in front, and then wait for Quinn's header. But with such a simple tactic, Dagenham can't defend it. This game
During the game, Su Yun sent John Charlton to guard Quinn.
But facing Quinn, John Charlton had no effect at all.
Height, height is not good.
Weight, weight is not good.
Heading skills are completely incomparable.
"Haha, Dagenham can finally taste the power of Quinn." Sunderland's commentator seemed to be in a good mood today. "In the League Cup, Dagenham was let go because he despised Dagenham.
It’s the fifth round. If we paid attention, Dagenham would have been eliminated in the third round of the League Cup.”
"Dagenham is now in dire straits."
The commentator for this FA Cup match today is Andy Gray, who is famous in England and even European football.
This is Andy Gray's first time commentating on a Dagenham match.
However, he is also very familiar with Dagenham. In this season's cup competition, the team completed the legend of slaying the dragon. But from the beginning of the game to now, Dagenham has been completely stunned by Sunderland. The ball possession rate is not as good as Sunderland.
Dagenham.
But in terms of offensive threat, it is far inferior to Sunderland.
This makes Andy Gray feel like he is not worthy of his name.
Su Yun couldn't sit still on the sidelines. Sunderland's style of play did not rely on the midfield at all. The responsibility of the Sunderland midfielder was to prepare for the second wave of attacks. Sunderland, trained by Peter Reid, emphasized speed.
, does not pay attention to the advancement of the midfield.
Therefore, Dagenham's strong midfield is like a decoration.
Su Yun felt like being beaten on cotton.
This is the real Sunderland. The last time I defeated the Sunderland second team in the League Cup.
Su Yun was worried.
John Charlton was desperate on the court. In the first 20 minutes of the game, he only succeeded once in 11 attempts for a header. This huge disparity made John Charlton, a player with firm belief,
They all felt a trace of despair.
Every time it was time for a header, John Charlton's heart went cold.
"GOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!" the Sunderland commentator was very excited. "Niall Quinn, our Neil, he scored the goal that broke the deadlock. Dagenham
Take a good look, last time it was because we were careless. Let them see what a Premier League team is."
The Sunderland commentator is also very depressed recently because he keeps losing in recent games.
Therefore, winning a game is still very important for Sunderland now.
"Quinn, I can even say that he is currently the best high center forward in English football. Even in the Premier League, few teams can prevent Quinn's header. Dagenham cannot prevent it.
It’s excusable.”
John Charlton was very regretful when he watched the ball. But what was more, he felt deep helplessness in his heart.
Su Yun stamped his feet fiercely.
Quinn is a beast, and his header has become a sperm.
"Su, this can't go on like this. John has completely lost confidence. If we continue, we will continue to lose goals." Chavez came to Su Yun's side and frowned.
Su Yun nodded.
Of course Su Yun discovered it.
Quinn is too strong. No matter John Charlton, even the two central defenders from Dagenham cannot guard Quinn.
And the entire Sunderland offense revolves around Quinn.
Quinn's header can be both a shot and a pass. If you can't limit Quinn's performance against Sunderland, it will be useless. But Quinn is playing in the air, and you can pile up people on the ground to control it.
.But it’s no use having too many people to play a high-altitude ball. Quinn will still head the ball when he should.
