Legendary godfather of green grass

592: The last game before the 2017 Club World Cup

Crystal Palace hosts Bournemouth at Tongyi Stadium this weekend.

Bournemouth's current results are not very satisfactory, only ranking 15th in the Premier League, with only 15 points.

Their current task is obviously to relegation.

Facing such a team, Crystal Palace should be able to deal with it easily, right?

Before that, Bournemouth's head coach Eddie Howe said in an interview with media reporters: "At present, our state of Bournemouth is very good, and it is time for us to score points for Bournemouth. But Our opponent Crystal Palace should not be in a good state. They have played too many games recently. They just went shopping for Spartak Moscow in the middle of the week. After this game, they will fly to Asia again. Their energy is really high. What's more, it's too scattered, I think we have a good chance in this game."

For now, Howe's situation is also very bad.

Howe is considered an old man of Bournemouth. He played for Bournemouth in his playing days and spent more than half of his playing career here.Then there's the player-manager, and finally actually the manager of Bournemouth.Now it is his second time to support Bournemouth. In the first two or three seasons, his performance was not bad, but this season's performance has dropped sharply, and the fans have some complaints here.I can even hear the voice of Rang Hao dismissing get out of class occasionally!

So, Howe is in a bad place right now.

If he can't lead the team to the upper half as soon as possible, he is really not far from leaving.

Howe also said: "Please rest assured, I am still very confident in this game. I think we Bournemouth can get points from Crystal Palace, and we can even win."

People in Crystal Palace really don't know where Howe got his confidence from?

Anyway, the fans of Crystal Palace are really confident. They think that Crystal Palace will win this game!

After all, the legendary godfather Tong Yi is their confidence!

In this game, Crystal Palace will win!

Tong Yi also accepted an interview. He said: "Yes, other games have indeed hindered our energy too much, but the league is still our main battlefield, and we will definitely go all out. At present, our league results are very good. That's good, but this is not an excuse to slack off. After all, the Manchester City team is chasing fiercely behind, and it really can't be idle for a moment!"

The media reporters nodded their heads one after another, that is indeed the case.

Tong Yi also said: "For this game, we must go all out, and we have only one goal, and that is to win. Bournemouth...should not have too many opportunities!"

Tong Yi and the players of Crystal Palace are full of confidence!

On the day of the match, Tongyi Stadium was full!Even in the square outside the stadium, there were a lot of fans gathered on three floors inside and outside, and they all seemed to come to support the Crystal Palace team.

Because they know very well that this is the only home game for Crystal Palace in the near future, and they are really reluctant to wait 20 days for the next home game of Crystal Palace.Naturally, they will come to watch this match.

This naturally put a lot of pressure on Bourne.

They did not expect so many fans from Crystal Palace to watch the game, and Hao felt a sudden feeling in his heart.

It seemed difficult for Bournemouth to win this game, but he was not intimidated.

In this game, Bournemouth's goal is still to win.

At this time, the referee of the game, Kevin Friend, blew the whistle for the official start of the game.

The first kick-off was from the visiting team Bournemouth. As soon as they came up, they turned away and attacked.

Obviously they want to grab an opening and give Crystal Palace a surprise.

They didn't know that the Crystal Palace had been prepared for a long time. They didn't succeed. Instead, they were easily intercepted by the Crystal Palace.

Sure enough, Crystal Palace's high-position pressing and stealing ability is really strong.

This is what makes Bournemouth people feel suffocated.

Howe on the sidelines was also very nervous. They were oppressed from the beginning of the game.

In this game, most of Crystal Palace's side were substitutes and rotation players. This made the Bournemouth people instantly see the gap between the two teams.

And at this moment, the Crystal Palace continued to pass, and the football rolled to the bottom line of the wing.

Carvajal, who came up from the side, saw the football and immediately kicked a cross. Giroud jumped high in the middle, and smashed the football towards the goal of Bournemouth with a shake of his head. The football was slightly higher It flew out of the crossbar and out of the bottom line.

This can be regarded as a wake-up call to the people of Bournemouth.

But the people of Bournemouth are very high-spirited, and they didn't take Crystal Palace's offense seriously.

There is a reason for Bournemouth's high spirits, because they have won three consecutive away games in the past three games, so they still feel that they can continue their good away form before this time, and they have something to play in this game won, so I played more proactively.

Now here is also a bit against the Crystal Palace.

However, their forward reliance on Defoe and Joshua King is a bit limited, which makes their offense a little bit difficult.Especially Defoe's position was marked to death, which made them very uncomfortable.

Howe on the sidelines kept shouting, reminding the Bournemouth players to help Defoe attract firepower and give Defoe more space and possession of the ball.But it is clear that Crystal Palace focused on defending Defoe, so that Bournemouth's offense was restricted, which led to Bournemouth's complete passiveness now.

This is really passive!

Bournemouth wanted to attack, but it was so restricted that the striker couldn't get the ball.

Moreover, Bournemouth's serving players are all oppressed to only cross and pass back, and even many mistakes will still occur when crossing, so Bournemouth's defeat here is obvious.

The Bournemouth fans who came from afar shook their heads.

How are you going to play this game?Definitely can't beat Crystal Palace!

Of course, the Bournemouth people have not given up here, they are still fighting and attacking, hoping to create a miracle.But for now, they don't have many opportunities.

And at this time, the Crystal Palace completed another steal.

It was Kanter, who started the midfielder, who stole the ball. Kanter played like a fish in water at this time.

Moreover, the strength of Bournemouth is indeed relatively weak, and Kanter's steal success rate is very high.

Immediately after this interception, he passed the football to the wing.

Special Olympics on the wing rushed up to the Bournemouth half with the ball. Facing the pounced defender, he pretended to pass the ball, and took advantage of the opportunity to dunk and directly passed the defensive player in the opponent's bunk. Let's continue to hold the ball and accelerate to the bottom.

Facing the defender, he quickly pulled the ball back and passed it directly to the corner of the penalty area.

Gnabry glanced at the ball at this time, he didn't stop the ball at all, and directly kicked and passed the ball in the middle of the penalty area.

The football drew a wonderful arc, directly over the head of central defender Ake in the middle of the penalty area.

Giroud in the middle directly faced the ball, a lion shook his head, and quickly smashed the football towards the Bournemouth goal.

The speed of the ball was very fast. Begovic in front of the goal was too late to react. He was half a beat behind and watched the football fly into the goal.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace finally broke through Bournemouth's goal, and it was Giroud who scored.

The ball passed really well, the arc just crossed Ake's head, and then flew towards Giroud.

Ake's height was targeted, although he bounced very well and jumped very high.But this time it still didn't fall off the top, which led to the conceded goal.

The Crystal Palace fans immediately gave Gnabry applause and cheers.

This pass is exquisite!

Seeing this, Howe couldn't help shaking his head. He knew that Bournemouth should have no chance in this game.However, he didn't give up just yet. He still reminded the Bournemouth players to continue to attack. They still have to fight hard in this game. What if they finally create a miracle and win?

If you don't fight, you will never have a chance, but if you fight, you will have a chance!

Therefore, after losing the ball, Bournemouth is still attacking frantically, trying to score goals.

It can also be seen here that the Bournemouth people are eager for victory, but to be honest, the strength gap between the two sides is indeed a bit big, and Bournemouth is a bit reckless in this game, a bit careless, So they are very passive now, giving people a feeling that they cannot attack or defend.

The strength gap between the two teams is still too big!

At this moment, the Crystal Palace midfielder stole the ball again.

This time it is still Kanter, how did Kanter really break it?After stealing the ball, he pushed the football to the frontcourt immediately. Sabitzer in the frontcourt caught the ball with his back and quickly passed the football to Mbappe on the wing. After Mbappe received the ball, he immediately After quickly advancing with the ball and attracting the defense, he suddenly crossed the football.

This is a bit unexpected. Everyone thought he was going to shoot himself?

The football rolled towards Sabitzer, but Sabitzer didn't stop the ball at all, but missed the football.

It was Llorente who followed, and Llorente changed his bow and arrow, pretending to shoot from a long distance, but actually pushed the football to the bottom line.

Special Olympics rushed up and kicked a pass directly, and the football roared into the penalty area of ​​Bournemouth.

The two central defenders of Bournemouth almost seemed to be defending Giroud at the same time, but the football flew over their heads and flew to the back point. Mbappe rushed up from the back point and jumped to the top. Smash the football into the Bournemouth goal.

At the end of the first half, Crystal Palace led [-]-[-].

This point difference does not seem to be big, but Crystal Palace has completely controlled the situation, giving the players of Crystal Palace a feeling of complete stability.Therefore, the atmosphere in the stadium is not your celebration in a teahouse. They have already started to celebrate wildly, celebrating the victory.

Seeing this, the Bournemouth people could only shake their heads in regret.

There is indeed an insurmountable gap between the two teams. It is really very difficult for Bournemouth to beat Crystal Palace, almost impossible!

But Bournemouth is also the top iron here, they still haven't given up, they are still attacking.

Obviously, Howe still wants to fight hard, maybe they can win this game?

Well, the Bournemouth players don't quite believe what Howe said.

We Bournemouth didn't have any chances in this game!

Soon, the second half of the match between the two sides officially began.Bournemouth attacked frantically here, and even pressed the whole line.Don't even mention that during this time period, the Bournemouth people still played at their offensive level.But really, there is no absolute threat to Crystal Palace's goals.

On the contrary, in the 71st minute of the game, Crystal Palace played a wonderful counterattack.Llorente, who was waiting on the field, directly kicked up a long pass and quickly passed the football to the frontcourt. Giroud stopped the ball in the chest and turned around, and then at a position 33 meters away from the goal, he directly swung his leg and volleyed successfully, rewriting the score as Three to zero.
