Seeing this lineup, the media reporters did not find it too surprising. Both sides are considered the main lineup.Especially on Chelsea's side, Conte has firmly implemented his three-back system, but their results this season are not particularly ideal. Can this game withstand the attack of Crystal Palace?

A little hanging!

Of course, Manchester City fans cheered wildly for Chelsea at this time, hoping that Chelsea can win.

The Crystal Palace only made simple adjustments. Upamecano and Ashraf appeared in the starting list today, and the other positions are all main players.It can also be seen from this that Crystal Palace still attaches great importance to this game, and their goal is also to win.

Tong Yi stood on the sidelines and looked at the stadium. Chelsea's defense still had problems.

Tong Yi signaled the Crystal Palace players to strengthen their attacks on the weaknesses of Chelsea's defense.Azpi

Liqueta's air defense is a problem, and Cahill's space behind him is a problem. His turning and chasing speed are quite slow.

This requires the two wing-backs Alonso and Zampacosta to return more to help defend, especially Alonso.

However, Alonso's speed is not fast enough, and his defense is not very strong. I am afraid it will be a bit difficult to help Cahill.

Alonso is characterized by his excellent skills and active defense. He is a famous knife-carrying defender and has outstanding offensive talents.

He also played for Crystal Palace back then, and Tong Yi knew his characteristics very well.

Therefore, Crystal Palace still has a lot of offensive directions today, and there is a great chance to win the game and win.

For this match, Tong Yi is quite confident.

beep!

At this time, referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to officially start the game.

The first team to kick off is Chelsea, who are playing at home. Chelsea are obviously pressing a bit higher. They played very proactively, and they deserved to be playing at home.As soon as it came up, it put enough pressure on Crystal Palace, trying to crush the Crystal Palace team in terms of momentum.

However, what haven't you seen here in the Crystal Palace?Get used to it.

Moreover, the Crystal Palace side was not to be outdone and pressed the high position like crazy.What Crystal Palace people are good at is playing this kind of football, very positive and fierce.The two teams started a fierce press in the midfield, with the ball changing back and forth, and the football played both sides of the ball in the midfield.

The competition looked very intense, but it was not exciting enough!

5 minutes into the game, the first shot of the game has not yet appeared, the two teams completely

It was a hand-to-hand fight in the midfield.The fans on both sides were a little nervous, afraid that if they were not careful, their opponents would seize the opportunity.This offensive and defensive transition is so fast, once the football is taken out, it will be dangerous!

At this time, Cesc Fabregas in the midfield suddenly made a pass and passed the football to Bell who was on the sidelines.

Bell turned around and rushed forward quickly, rushing towards the restricted area of ​​the Crystal Palace!

Chance, Chelsea's chance.

The Chelsea fans at the scene immediately became excited, jumped up excitedly, and crazily cheered for Bale.

Bell accelerated and rushed up like a speeding sports car.

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were also taken aback, secretly dangerous.

At this time, Ashraf on the wing immediately leaned over, defended, and stuck the inside line tightly.Unexpectedly, at this time, Bell suddenly made a cross.Ashraf didn't expect it a little bit, he thought Bale would hold the ball and break through the inside cut. He was half a beat slow in reacting, and the outstretched right leg didn't block the football at all, and the football flew into the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace rapidly.

In the middle of the penalty area, Lukaku, who arrived on horseback, jumped high and scored with a header.

With a bang, the football flew directly out of the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Van Dijk was the first to push the football over Lukaku's head and made a successful clearance.

Beautiful defense, the fans of Crystal Palace immediately applauded Van Dijk, this time the defense is great!

The football flew out of the penalty area, and Fabregas immediately rushed forward and rushed towards the football.

Casemiro outside the penalty area immediately blocked the rushing Cesc Fabregas, shook his head without stopping the ball, and ferried the football to Kante.

Kanter just here

After receiving the ball, Alonso from the wing rushed out quickly and pressed for the ball.

Kanter instantly sensed the opportunity. He did not stop the ball but directly passed the football back to Casemiro who turned around.

Casemiro is still using his strong body to hold Fabregas behind him, and he is about to stop the ball to find opportunities.He suddenly found Kanter who stretched out his hand, and looked at Kanter's gesture, and Casemiro found the space in an instant.

Casemiro didn't stop the ball, and directly hit the football behind Cahill with an arc of the outside instep.

The Chelsea fans instantly changed their faces and screamed in horror-danger!

This is really dangerous. Alonso has gone up to press Kanter, and there is no way to help Cahill recover the space behind the defense.Moreover, Cahill's position at this time is also raised a bit higher, and there is a large space behind him.

Seeing this, Chelsea fans are desperate!

At this time, Salah on the wing turned quickly and reversed diagonally, and directly accelerated diagonally from the wing to Cahill's back.

The players of the Crystal Palace have already got a tacit understanding. This pass is really just right and wonderful!

The textbook-like cooperation after hitting appeared.

All the Crystal Palace fans at the scene screamed with excitement, this is a good opportunity!

Cahill's heart skipped a beat at this moment, and he thought it was a bad idea, but he turned around immediately and quickly chased after the lightning-fast Salah.

It's a pity that Salah is really too fast.

Alone, Salah went to the meeting alone!

And Christensen, the defensive player in the middle, was a little hesitant, and he rushed directly

If you go up, what about C Ronaldo behind you?If he doesn't pounce, doesn't this put Salah directly against the goalkeeper?

At the moment when he was hesitating, Salah accelerated and quickly took the ball into Chelsea's penalty area. It was too late for Christensen to pounce at this time. Salah directly faced the goalkeeper Courtois. up.

All the Chelsea fans at the scene placed their hopes on goalkeeper Courtois!

Courtois is one of the top five goalkeepers in world football today. It is possible to save this ball. Come on Courtois!

Courtois immediately moved across and blocked the near post.

With a bang, Salah, who was running at high speed, suddenly volleyed the football towards the top corner of the near post!

clang!

Explosive shot, the football soared like lightning, slammed hard on the lower edge of the crossbar at the near corner of the goal, refracted like lightning, and smashed into Chelsea's goal quickly.

In front of the goal, Courtois raised his hands high and tried his best, but it seemed to surrender.

There was nothing he could do, he tried his best.

The ball was too fast, and Courtois really couldn't react in time.With such a violent shot from close range, Courtois really had no choice!

"Beautiful goal! Salah, beautiful explosive shot! It's really wonderful. Crystal Palace's offensive and defensive transition is really smooth. It's a textbook defensive counterattack. Chelsea's defense is really good. It’s hard to describe, especially Cahill, it feels like Crystal Palace was targeting him from the very beginning!” Mortensen roared excitedly, his voice trembling!

Shearer is also micro

He nodded slightly and said: "That's true. If it wasn't for this purpose, Salah wouldn't have been able to advance in such a timely manner. David has obviously studied Qilsi's defense thoroughly. , the space behind Cahill must be exploited! Of course, if the midfielder cannot withstand the defense of Chelsea's lineup, it cannot be defended by the defenders alone. This time Chelsea lost the ball, it was actually the midfielder The interception was not in place and collapsed too quickly, so that Chelsea’s defense had not yet returned to its position. Crystal Palace’s attack in transition from offense to defense was really fast, too fast!”

Mortensen couldn't help but nod when he heard this. It's true!

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were very excited, jumping and jumping in the stands, cheering the names of Salah and Tong Yi.Seeing this goal, they seem to have seen the victory of the game.

In this game, our Crystal Palace will win!

Shhhhhh!

The Chelsea fans at the scene frantically booed the Crystal Palace people, and there were even many guys who frantically cursed the Crystal Palace players to express their dissatisfaction.

This ball is a sneak attack!

The Manchester City fans in front of the TV are speechless when they see this, Chelsea people, what are you playing?

If you continue to play like this, you Chelsea may lose.

Conte on the sidelines was also very dissatisfied. He was so angry that he smashed the tactical board in his hand to the ground, and pointed at Cahill and Alonso crazily, complaining about their defense.There is no problem for Alonso to attack immediately, but he did not restrict Kanter, allowing Kanter to be in a comfortable position immediately.

Reasoning is the biggest problem.

You can't break the ball, but you can't let the opponent handle the ball easily and comfortably. You have to pass the football back as much as possible, or force the opponent to make mistakes.How can you be like this?Let the opponent calmly plan this counterattack?

And Cahill, you too, your position can either be raised further to create an offside trap, or you can retreat, don't give Saleh such a large space to accelerate, okay?

Conte really felt tired, how did he defend?

In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Alonso and Cahill. After all, it was Chelsea who was attacking just now.Moreover, before the attack, their formation was already very high and they were conducting a heavy press in the midfield.The fault lies in not completing the attack well, and not putting enough pressure on the opponent after losing the ball, forcing the opponent to make mistakes, and also allowing the opponent to make a very sharp counterattack.

On the whole, it was a failure of Chelsea's tactics.

It can also be said that the people of Crystal Palace performed very well, especially Kanter, who played a very key role in this counterattack, and can even be said to have dominated this counterattack.No wonder Kanter now hopes that he can take on more important responsibilities in the offense. He hopes to move forward. Kanter's improvement in this area is indeed quite large.

clap clap clap!

Tong Yi applauded on the sidelines, very satisfied, especially with Kanter's performance.

One to zero, Crystal Palace took the lead in the away game, and it was Salah who scored the goal!

This ball instantly broke the balance on the court. Chelsea obviously wanted to strengthen their offense.

.After all, this is their home court, and this game is still a London derby. There is no way they can just admit defeat.And they need to equalize the score as soon as possible, or even take the lead.

Therefore, after the game restarted, Chelsea immediately launched a tidal wave of offense, frantically flocking towards the goal of Crystal Palace.Don't tell me, the effect is not bad, just now Zampacosta suddenly pretended to go down and swiped sideways.The football came to William's feet. William continued to dribble the ball horizontally at the front of the penalty area, and then suddenly pulled up his foot and shot a low shot in the opposite direction, slamming the football towards the bottom corner of the near post!
