The ideal is indeed beautiful.Fast update without pop-up window [Thanks for supporting the novel]

But ideals are only ideals after all.

The reality is not so beautiful.

Leeds United's young central defender Woodgate is almost crying now.

Since his debut, Woodgate has been absolutely affirmed by everyone in English football.The British football community believes that Woodgate and Ferdinand of West Ham United are the best candidates for the main central defender of the England national team in the future.They are the two most outstanding young central defenders in English football in recent years.

Woodgate is a very typical England defender.

Has good judgment and heading ability.Strong frontal defense.

Since his debut, I don't know how many strikers in English football have fallen into his hands.How many excellent centers have failed in front of them.

But today he is having a hard time.

O'Reilly puts Woodgate on Quinn.Because Radebe's height is only 1.8 meters eight and he is already old.It was difficult to defend Quinn, so Woodgate was arranged to defend Quinn.

Woodgate is 19 years old and Quinn is 33 years old.The age difference between the two is 14 years.Totally a player of two eras.

Generally speaking, the explosive power of a forward at the age of 33 will drop significantly.There are many defenders who have maintained their peak at the age of 33, but it is very rare for a striker to be able to dominate football at the age of 33.

Quinn was obviously one of the few old demons.

The older he gets, the more demonic he becomes.

With more and more experience, no one can compare to the judgment of high-altitude balls.But the jumping ability and heading ability have not declined at all, but are getting better and better.

People like Adams and Desailly used their rich experience and ability to judge.Even if he can't top Quinn, he will interfere with his header.

But Woodgate was too young.

He may be better than veterans like Adams and Desailly in terms of physical condition, but his experience is completely childish.

Compared with Quinn, it is too immature.

Every time he grabs a header, he can't beat Quinn at all.

And Woodgate is not as smart as Adams and Desailly.Even if they can't get the ball, they will interfere with Quinn to make Quinn's header less accurate.It's a pity that after Woodgate failed to compete for the header several times.Almost desperate.

Quinn is too strong.

It seemed so to Woodgate.

Woodgate thought it was impossible for him to defend Quinn alone.

O'Reilly found out too.

So O'Reilly let David Batty and McPhail drop back to protect the defense.It's a pity that David Batty and McPhail are both very short players and have no influence on Quinn at all.In the current Leeds United midfield, only Woodgate is 1.8 meters tall.

Radebe's 1.8 meters five is already very high.

Both David Batty and McPhail are less than 1.8 meters tall.McPhail is only 1.7 meters tall.

Quinn is a tower in the frontcourt.

In the high-altitude ball competition, all Leeds United players were at a disadvantage.No one can prevent it.

"Jack Jack! Go forward!"

After Su Yun watched for a while, he directly threw Williams into the Leeds United penalty area.

"Williams is really a versatile player. In my impression, Williams has played right midfielder, central midfielder, midfielder, and defender. Now coach Su Yun put Williams directly into the penalty area of ​​Leeds United. Middle. It's about using Williams as a center."

Martin Taylor was surprised by Su Yun's choice.

Su Yun really wanted to use Williams as a center forward.

Because Su Yun found out after nearly 15 minutes.Leeds United's back line defense is too poor.Even David Batty and McPhail retreated.Their air defense capabilities are pretty much a scumbag.

Since Quinn alone can disrupt Leeds United's defense.

Then Su Yun will let Williams see how Leeds United defends.

Williams' high-altitude ball ability is not inferior to Quinn's at all.

Williams played Quinn when he was still at Dagenham.At that time, Williams was a little immature, so he was suppressed by Quinn.But after years of training.Especially in the two seasons in Sunderland, Williams has grown a lot.

Williams' current high-altitude ball control ability is not worse than Quinn's.

It may not have Quinn's header pass ability, but Williams is not afraid of Quinn in terms of judgment and control of high-altitude balls.Even in practice, Quinn and Williams had a [-]/[-] chance of grabbing the lob.

You can know Williams' current header ability.

After Williams went, Sunderland's style of play became simpler.

After getting the ball, he lobbed the ball directly and passed it into the penalty area.

Even Duff and Poborski's style of play on the two wings is very simple.After they get the ball.They all pass the ball quickly.

It's such a simple style of play that makes Leeds United's defense in a hurry.

Leeds United did not expect that Sunderland, which has been focusing on playing two wings this season, would now start to play such a primitive style of play.

Neither O'Reilly nor the Leeds United players were prepared.

And Sunderland is getting better and better.

Quinn likes this style of play the most.

Although he also likes to play on the wing because he can take advantage of his header.But now this style of play can give full play to his strength.

O'Reilly walked up and down the sidelines.

For Sunderland's sudden change of play.He has not found a most suitable way.

In fact, there are many teams with this primitive style of play in the Premier League.

Almost all the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League play this way.But they don't have abnormal players like Quinn and Williams.Woodgate didn't fall behind those people at all, and the old-fashioned Radebe cooperated with Woodgate.Not afraid of them at all.But now facing the Quinn and Williams defense is difficult.

It was already quite difficult for Woodgate to defend Quinn.Not to mention adding a perverted player like Williams now.

At 33 minutes of the game.Leeds United's defense is exhausted.

They dare not relax at all.

Another round of attack.

Southgate made a long pass straight forward from the backcourt.Passed to the vicinity of the restricted area.

"Southgate...Williams...Williams headed the ball into the penalty area!"

Defending Williams was David Batty and McPhail.The two of them were flanking Williams, but unfortunately their heights are too different from Williams.And in terms of jumping ability, no one in English football, or even in European football, can surpass Williams.

Williams jumped high and easily and headed the ball into the penalty area.

"Quin...it's Quinn. Header!"

When Williams' header passed into the penalty area, Quinn quickly judged the ball's path.

Although it is 33 years old.

But more agile than Woodgate.

It should be said that Quinn is older than Woodgate in judging the high-altitude ball.After Quinn pulled it out, there was no header to shoot the goal.It is difficult to shoot a header from this angle at this position.This is true even for a strong header like Quinn.

He didn't shoot or pass to Phillips in front.

Instead of going inside, it passed straight to the other side that is parallel.

Pass very lightly.

But it is very tacit understanding.

Because the one running in his passing route was Williams who had just passed the header to Quinn.

Quinn's header is high and slow.

Therefore, Radebe also discovered Quinn's purpose.

So he dropped Phillips.Come out and defend Williams quickly.

"Williams... Radebe is already in position."

Radebe did come to position faster than Williams.But Williams doesn't care about that.At two meters away, he had already started to jump high, face the football and shake his head directly to attack the goal.

At the same time, Radebe also jumped up and prepared to make a clearance.

But he was still a step behind.

Williams was a step behind but jumped higher and faster than him and hit the ball first in front of him.

At the moment of touching the ball.The two collided heavily in the air.

"Williams...wow, he can jump really high...his head swing!"

"goooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Martin Taylor shouted in surprise: "Williams, Williams! It's an alley-oop. Williams put in a powerful header from behind and shot it. It's amazing. It's like shooting it with your feet." It’s fast and powerful.”

Martin Taylor was surprised.

Radebe, who was knocked down by Williams, also watched in surprise.

He had just been hit by Williams in the air.It flew out directly.It's been a long time since I've felt this power.

When Quinn saw the goal running over, he immediately hugged Williams.

Williams is very talkative and doesn't like talking to people.Therefore, many young players have an average relationship with him, and even Kilbaney, who has been teammates with Williams for a long time, has an average relationship with Williams.But veteran players like Quinn are different.

Look at a talented young player like Williams.Although it is difficult to communicate, he still likes him very much.

"One to zero, one to zero. Thirty-four minutes into the half. Sunderland lead Leeds United one to zero with Williams' goal."

"For Williams, I don't know what words to use to praise. Throw Williams behind and few people can break through his defense. Put him in the midfield. He can pass the ball to organize the attack, and he can run deep. A shot. Putting him in the striker position can also accomplish the task excellently."

"Haven't seen such a well-rounded player in years. There's something he can't do."

There is something that won't do.

This is just the beginning.

Williams was quick to tell Leeds how brutal the reality was.At the end of the half, Poborski made a cross at a 45-degree angle and Williams made a domineering head shake to make the score [-]-[-].

"Sunderland is already [-]-[-] ahead of Leeds United before the half-time is over. Four consecutive victories and Sunderland will complete their fourth consecutive victories. Is Sunderland really going to win the Premier League championship?"
