Coach, I want to play football!

Chapter 866: Do you want to imitate Chelsea?

The current Crystal Palace is not yet the Crystal Palace that fans will call the "King of London" in the future. Alan Pardew's team has not been having a particularly ideal life recently.

So far this season, they are currently ranked 14th in the league, which is quite different from last season when Crystal Palace was ranked 15th.

Obviously the senior management of Crystal Palace are dissatisfied with this result, because it looks like 14 or 15, which seems to almost match the strength of Crystal Palace?

But it’s too close to the relegation zone! Such a ranking is often only two or three games away from the relegation zone.

Therefore, Crystal Palace fans have been preparing quick-acting life-saving pills for every game in the past two seasons, because it is very likely that after a game, the team will travel to the relegation zone.

Alan Pardew also has a sense of crisis during this period. If his performance continues to decline, he estimates that he will be closer to dismissal than Crystal Palace is to the relegation zone.

Facing the strong Liverpool, Alan Pardew naturally would not stupidly press out to attack, but gave a 451 defensive counterattack formation.

As a veteran of the Premier League, Alan Pardew has ideas.

Among the five midfielders, Cabaye is the core, responsible for transitioning offense and defense and sorting out organization.

MacArthur and Ledley are responsible for the deep defense, which is equivalent to a double defensive midfielder.

The left midfielder is Townsend, and the right midfielder is Zaha. That's right, he is the man who will surpass Hazard and Xhaka in the future and become the only "scoring king" in London. (dog head.jpg)

However, Townsend and Zaha's breakthroughs from the wing are very sharp. Both are players with fast speed and excellent dribbling.

The two of them press forward and become double forwards. When the time comes, 451 will immediately change to 433.

This is Alan Pardew's little thought.

Ye Qi felt that he must have screwed up. In the last game, Kante never left his side, and the opponent played three central defenders. He was almost surrounded by a group of people.

Crystal Palace did not play three central defenders today, but their two defensive midfielders, MacArthur and Ledley, almost took turns coming to follow them!

What? Is this inspired by Chelsea's last game, and they plan to sacrifice a defensive midfielder for man-to-man marking?

In the 12th minute, Ye Qi received a pass from Wijnaldum, but just when he wanted to bring himself into the penalty area, he was destroyed by the opponent's center back and midfielder MacArthur.

In the seventeenth minute, Ye Qi had no good chance and handed the ball back to Wijnaldum in the midfield to reorganize the offense.

Wijnaldum immediately separated the sides, Lallana lowered his ribs and then swept across the middle of the goal to find Ye Qi.

But this time the opponent's midfielder Ledley appeared and destroyed the ball directly before Ye Qi.

In the 25th minute, Moreno made a pass. Ye Qi overwhelmed the opponent's central defender in the penalty area and jumped to compete for the top. However, the defensive midfielder MacArthur who came up made a slight push from behind. As a result, he did not hit the ball and the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

Ye Qi made a pushing gesture to the referee, complaining that the opponent was pushing people in the penalty area.

However, Premier League referees are generally not very good at calling such actions relatively minor interference.

The commentator of Sky Sports said: "It seems that Alan Pardew has put a lot of effort into Ye Qi today. The two defensive midfielders are taking turns!"

Another commentator said with a smile: "It's not just that, I took a look, sometimes they even have two people together!"

In the 32nd minute of the game, Cabaye successfully stole Lallana and then passed the ball to Zaha on the wing.

Zaha dribbled the ball through Moreno and Stewart, and then passed to Benteke after attracting Liverpool's defensive firepower.

As a result... Benteke's non-stop ball hit the goal directly without any pressure, and flew directly into the second-floor stands of Selhurst Park.

That is to say, Benteke is not in Liverpool now, and Zhan Jun did not commentate on Liverpool's game today, otherwise he would probably have to say "ctmd Benteke" for the second time.

Benteke made an apologetic gesture towards Zaha who was passing the ball. It would have been easy to say that the goal had not been scored, but in the end it was outrageous that the shot ended up like this.

Husky is more reliable than this!

In the 37th minute, Ye Qi's movement in the middle attracted the attention of one of the opponent's central defenders and two midfielders. This was almost a key treatment.

After Coutinho successfully broke through the ribs, he attracted the defensive attention of the opponent's only remaining central defender, and followed Lallana across the other side from a long distance.

And Lallana shot from the ribs in the penalty area without anyone watching.

But because the ball wanted to bypass the Crystal Palace goalkeeper too much, the ball slightly missed the goalpost in order to pursue the arc when shooting.

In the 41st minute, Crystal Palace got another excellent counterattack opportunity.

Cabaye came to support and the full-back intercepted the ball from Stewart's feet. Stewart wanted to take the ball down the wing.

But obviously, he is not a full-back like Klein and Moreno. As a defensive midfielder, he plays as a full-back and his ability to dribble and cross is relatively limited.

Klopp asked him to play as a guest starter today, and he did not expect him to dribble the ball down and pass the ball like Klein.

In addition to giving Klein a rest, Klopp wants Stewart to focus more on defense on the wing.

After all, both Zaha and Townsend's wing breakthroughs are more difficult to deal with.

French midfielder Cabaye stole the ball and passed a long pass directly behind Stewart. Townsend received the ball and then quickly dribbled the ball forward from the wing.

Emre Can came to the wing to support the defense, but was knocked away by Townsend with two consecutive fake moves.

After attracting Lovren to come out, he passed the high ball from the ribs!

Benteke, who followed up in the middle, took off to compete for the top. Although Klavan's height is not too different from "traditional virtue", it is only about four centimeters.

However, Benteke's jumping and header abilities are much better than those of the Estonian veteran. Benteke pressed Klavan to take off and head the ball, then shook his head and went directly to the goal.

However, the angle of the top was relatively positive and was confiscated by German goalkeeper Karius.

Zaha, who followed up on the other side, pointed his hands in front of him, indicating that Benteke could head the ball to his side, because there was no defensive player around him for the time being.

Benteke raised his hand to express his apology.

He was indeed a little impatient today. He didn't even notice Zaha following up on the other side of the ball.

He mainly wants to show off in front of his "ex," and the best way to be angry with his ex is naturally to find a current person who is better and more beautiful than his ex, and then show off in front of him.

Of course, it can also be that you have become a better person, making your ex feel regretful.

Benteke was unhappy at Liverpool, to be precise, Liverpool after Klopp took over. In the end, he became an "abandoned son" and was abandoned and "broken up".

This is the first time he faces Liverpool after the breakup, and Benteke certainly wants to express himself.

But obviously, not only is the effort in vain, but it is even a waste of effort...

Not to mention compared with the current Ye Qi, even if you turn to the second page of the league's scorer list, Benteke's name is not there.
