In the 77th minute of the game, Dagenham once again got an opportunity to attack.
Williams passed the ball to Lampard in front of him. Lampard's personal passing ability is not very good, but his running ability is extremely strong. And his ability to find the opponent's space is also very strong. So Lampard's
The running effect is far better than that of Williams.
When Lampard received the ball, there was no one defending him.
Sunderland's midfield defensive ability is really poor.
Lampard very calmly passed the ball to Kewell on the left. If Lampard relied on his diligence and running to create a gap, then Kewell is different.
After Kewell got the ball, he rushed into the penalty area with the ball.
In terms of passing people in small spaces, Kewell is definitely number one on the court. Not only is Kewell the most skilled and breakthrough player in Dagenham, he is also the most skilled player in Sunderland.
Great, the best player to break through.
Kewell entered the penalty area very smoothly.
Then there was a low pass, and Harrison, who was tall and long-legged in the middle, poked him in front of everyone.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!" Andy Gray commented on Dagenham's game for the first time. He had always been very curious about how Dagenham defeated Manchester United in an upset. Defeated Manchester United.
It was just an upset, and the elimination of those League One and Premier League teams along the way was enough to make him curious. At first, looking at today's game, Dagenham was nothing special.
Facing Sunderland, who played half the main team, Dagenham was obviously very struggling.
But he was able to equalize the score before the end of the game, which surprised Andy Gray.
"One to one, Dagenham equalized the score in the away game. Sunderland's attack method was too single. When Quinn came off the field, the whole Sunderland didn't know how to play football. It's not even as good as coming from England Third Division.
Dagenham in the league have tactics."
Andy Gray’s views actually didn’t come out today.
Why did Sunderland have such difficulty after returning to the Premier League this time? The biggest reason is that Sunderland's offensive pressure is placed on Quinn alone. Therefore, when all teams deal with Sunderland,
They all focused on Quinn.
As long as Quinn is guarded, Sunderland will not have any threat.
Quinn has to score goals and assists at Sunderland. All the pressure is on him.
The single offense has also caused Sunderland's current situation. After all, no matter how strong Quinn is, he is just one person.
"There are more than ten minutes left in the game, but I am more optimistic about Dagenham. Dagenham now not only has the physical advantage, but also has an absolute psychological advantage."
yes.
The equalizer instantly inspired infinite morale for Dagenham, who had been depressed throughout the game.
Harrison raised his fist and kept shouting loudly.
Evened.
They were indeed shocked by Sunderland's strength at first. This is the Premier League team. They were able to defeat Sunderland and Manchester United in the past because their opponents underestimated them too much.
But now it's evened.
It immediately mobilized their morale again.
"Hail! Long live Dagenham!"
"We have nothing to fear!"
Because of Dagenham's good results, Dagenham fans are also very enthusiastic. During this away trip, more than 2,000 fans followed the team to Sunderland.
They kept cheering.
Su Yun, who was on the sidelines of the court, couldn't help but jump and waved his fist fiercely.
If we equalize, the game will be easy to play.
Even if this game is just a draw, then Dagenham will definitely advance in the next rematch. Because Dagenham can afford it, but Sunderland cannot afford it. Sunderland can play half the main force in this game.
Very rare.
If there is another rematch, Sunderland will never be able to field so many main players as they did today.
Because their league situation has become urgent.
Peter Reid couldn't help but hugged his head. He felt very regretful. He felt very sad. Was he going to lose to a English C team twice in one season?
The tens of thousands of Sunderland fans were also silent.
It’s even? It’s even!
…………
"Evened."
Murray murmured to himself, his face very pale.
Peter Reid was Murray's decision to become Sunderland's head coach at that time. Although Peter Reid was outstanding as a player, he only had one season of experience as a head coach. Of course, Murray has always been happy with his decision.
Because after Peter Reid took charge of Sunderland, he first helped Sunderland successfully avoid relegation in the English League One. Then he led Sunderland to successfully upgrade to the Premier League.
Almost all Sunderland directors praised Murray for making a wise decision.
Not only Sunderland insiders, but also many media praised Sunderland's choice of Peter Reid.
Unfortunately, this excitement only lasted for one season.
It has been more than half a season since they arrived in the Premier League, and Sunderland's results are getting worse and worse. Losing to Dagenham in the League Cup is just the team's strategic abandonment, but losing to Dagenham again in the FA Cup will be hard to justify.
.
In this game, more than half of Sunderland's main players played.
The League Cup and FA Cup are only domestic cup competitions. But the problem now is that Sunderland are also struggling in the Premier League.
In the English League One, Sunderland's situation in the Premier League, which swept everything, was much worse than the other two promoted teams. Derby County, which ranked second in the English League One, is currently twelfth in the Premier League. And that one in the English League One
Leicester City, which is even more than ten points behind Sunderland in the league, is now ranked ninth in the Premier League.
Only Sunderland are now in the relegation zone.
Murray is also under a lot of pressure. Many directors believe that Peter Reid is not strong enough to lead Sunderland in the Premier League. But now Murray has been strongly supporting Peter Reid, so he will sit firmly at Sunderland.
Deland's head coaching position.
But this game made Murray start to feel shaken.
The opponent was a League Three team.
Carden can also feel Murray's anger next to him. As Sunderland's sporting director and the most powerful person in charge of Sunderland's transfer department, Carden has also heard the dissatisfaction with Peter Reid within the board. If Murray
If you don't trust Peter Reed, then Peter Reed's life will be difficult.
Kaden is actually very satisfied with his collaboration with Peter Reed.
Newly promoted teams from the Premier League are already favorites to be relegated to the Premier League. If it weren't for the excellent results of Derby County and Leicester City, Sunderland would not be so embarrassed.
I hope Murray won't be impulsive.
…………
When the game restarted, Dagenham's side was already full of momentum. As if confirming Andy Gray's words, Dagenham began to completely dominate the game.
Sunderland do not have a strong midfield to support them. Let Dagenham's midfielder play in the center as they wish.
The game time passes minute by minute.
"Everyone is watching the third round of the FA Cup, but if you watch the game now, you will never be able to tell which one is Sunderland and which one is Dagenham. You can't tell which one is the Premier League.
club, which is a club from the English Third Division."
"There are a few minutes left in the game and now it's Dagenham's attack again. It's Kewell who has the ball again!"
At the most important moment of the game, Dagenham's players intentionally or unintentionally handed the ball to Kewell. This is because Kewell often has some magic tricks during the game and can use his skills to create some opportunities.
Kewell got the ball and his body was already very tired.
Although the main players have rested in the last league game, as a young player who has just turned 18, the current game is still very intense. Kewell is not like Lampard or Williams.
A physical maniac.
But as long as he has the ball at his feet, Kewell feels energetic.
"Kewell...Kewell is so physically strong, he used his speed to surpass Thirlwell."
When Kewell got the ball, Thirlwell, as a defensive midfielder, arrived in time. But Kewell only used a simple acceleration to leave Thirlwell behind.
"Kewell has already entered the penalty area... Craddock stepped forward to defend... Now Kewell has many options. Dagenham's offensive players are already in place, and he can choose to pass the ball!"
Thirlwell is terrible as a defensive midfielder.
It was so easy to miss Kewell, allowing the entire Sunderland defense to face Kewell's attack. Dagenham's offensive players were already in their positions.
But the red-eyed Cowell can no longer see this.
Facing Jody Craddock who stepped forward to defend, he simply made a bucket of the ball and then passed by Craddock.
"The ball passed and Kewell rushed in. In such a small penalty area, Kewell was able to pass the ball calmly. It was wonderful. Kewell was so outstanding."
"Kewell... there is no defender in front of him... shoot!"
When Kewell burst in, all the Dagenham fans stood up and shouted "Shoot!"
And Cowell didn't hesitate at all.
After passing Craddock, it was a low shot.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Andy Gray cheered for more than a minute this time. "Two to one, two to one! Dagenham unexpectedly
It was a miraculous overtake of Sunderland."
Andy Gray was very excited.
"This is my first time watching a Dagenham game. If someone had told me that Dagenham was a BAF League team half a season ago, I would never have believed it."
"I checked the information and found that Dagenham had been hovering in the relegation zone of the African League a year ago. In just one year, Dagenham has undergone a completely different performance. I don't understand why.
what reason?"
"One year, just one year. Coach Su from China must have brought the magic of ancient China to Dagenham."
