There are some changes on Manchester City's side in today's game, but not much. David Silva did not appear on the roster for this game due to injury, which is a very bad thing for Manchester City.
, which still has a great impact on their strength.
And Goretzka came to the wing because he wanted to make way for Toure.
However, this should not have a great impact on Goretzka. He has played this position before and performed very well.
"It should be a little difficult for Manchester City today. Without Silva, this will still have a great impact on them." Mortensen said.
The Manchester City fans at the scene all glared at Mortensen with blank stares, saying, "You really don't want to mention anything."
Manchester City fans believe in their team. They, Manchester City, will definitely win this game. They have this confidence.
beep!
The referee blew his whistle and the game started immediately. The first one to kick off was Manchester City.
The Manchester City team was ready to burn the boat, so as soon as the game started, they pressed forward across the board and attacked like crazy.
"There is really not much time left for the Manchester City team. I can understand that they are pressing all the way. But if you are pressing all the way, don't you worry about your defense? The Crystal Palace people's counterattack is very powerful!"
Shearer looked at Manchester City's selection and suddenly he had more confidence in Crystal Palace.
In this game, Crystal Palace should have no problem.
At this time, Manchester City's offense quickly advanced to the Crystal Palace half.
At halftime, it was Goretzka who held the ball!
Carvajal immediately stepped forward and blocked the inside line of Gretzka. He shouted, "Don't come over, block the inside line!"
De Bruyne immediately recovered and did not rush out again, but pounced on Goretzka.
Goretzka stared at Carvajal in front of him, his feet quickly moving back and forth on the football.
To be honest, Goretzka has never been so fancy before.
Goretzka's previous attacks were more direct and simple, with so many fancy moves. But Carvajal forced him to have no choice but to add fake moves to look for opportunities.
Suddenly, Goretzka quickly passed the football past De Bruyne with a diagonal kick.
virtue
Browne turned around immediately and saw Yaya Toure rushing forward to catch up with the football.
Danger!
Yaya Toure's long-range shots are also very explosive.
Alisson roared loudly, "Be careful, don't give him space for a long shot!"
Crystal Palace's defensive players immediately held their positions at the front of the penalty area, preventing Toure from taking a long shot.
Toure glanced at the defense in front of him, and he suddenly took a shot.
Boom!
Just when Toure was about to win the football, the football in front of him was stabbed away by Kante who rushed up diagonally.
Kanter really always appears at the most critical moments, directly destroying Toure's long-range shot.
Crystal Palace fans shouted Kante's name excitedly.
"N'Golo, well done!" Tong Yi on the sidelines also kept applauding and praising Kante.
Kante is really very good at interception and interception. Even if there is only a slight chance, he may intercept or steal the football. This is really very good. Crystal Palace's defense can be so stable, but there are actually obstacles.
A very big contribution.
Because of Kanter's presence, the defensive pressure on Crystal Palace's defenders is not that great.
Van Dijk also gave Kante a thumbs up.
The kicked football rolled directly to De Bruyne's feet.
De Bruyne immediately pulled the ball, turned around, quickly swung his legs, passed the ball directly, and quickly passed the football forward.
With a bang, before Balotelli could catch the ball, the football was tackled by Fernando.
The football quickly rolled to the feet of Sagna on the wing.
This Fernando's tackle was also very powerful, directly cutting off Crystal Palace's counterattack. This made Crystal Palace fans happy in vain, but what a pity!
Of course, De Bruyne actually passed the ball very well, but Fernando was also very good.
Tong Yi looked at Fernando and raised his eyebrows slightly. Sure enough, Manchester City is still very strong. This game is not easy. However, as long as they don't concede a goal in this game, they can still reach the final of the Champions League.
To be honest, Tong Yi is confident that he can lead Crystal Palace to the UEFA Champions League final.
With a bang, Sagna quickly passed the football to Navas on the wing.
Navas received the ball and immediately took the ball and broke through at high speed along the wing. To be honest, Navas is older, but his speed is still very fast. He accelerated continuously on the wing and even directly broke through Robertson's defense. Fortunately, Robertson
There was no loss of position, and the inside line was always stuck without allowing Navas to cut inside.
In fact, Robertson is a bit overthinking.
Navas basically has no habit of cutting inside, and almost always makes crosses from the wing.
It was the same this time. Near the baseline, Navas suddenly fell to the ground and shoveled the ball into the middle of the penalty area.
The speed of the ball was very fast. Robertson's tackle was too late, and the ball rolled directly past him and quickly rolled into the Crystal Palace penalty area.
"Hey, it's dangerous! How can we defend this..." Suddenly Hiller screamed in horror.
"Aguero, shovel shot!" Mortensen also roared in horror.
Crystal Palace is in danger now!
Robertson's defense on the wing was a little too much. He thought that Navas's ball was too big and the ball was about to roll off the baseline, so his defense was a little lax, and then he gave Navas a chance.
Navas' pass was very fast and rolled to the point before entering the small penalty area in the blink of an eye.
With a bang, the ball has arrived and the person has arrived!
Aguero slid over like lightning and launched a shovel shot.
At the same time, Van Dijk, who was beside Aguero, slid over immediately and stretched out his long legs to tackle the football.
He wanted to shovel the ball out of the baseline before Aguero did.
Danger!
The two of them didn't close their legs. If they were shoveled together, their legs would probably be destroyed!
ah!
Fans from both sides screamed in horror, as if they would see a tragic and bloody scene in the next second.
With a bang, Aguero, who was in a better position, scooped up the football, and the football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Boom, then Van Dijk's long leg, which was sliding over quickly, also violently tackled Aguero's long leg. Under the fierce inertia, the two people instantly collided into a ball and let out two wails!
Many timid fans at the scene couldn't stand it and closed their eyes.
clang!
The football shot toward the goal at high speed hit the goal post hard, then bounced back quickly and hit the body of Aguero who was lying on the ground, and then bounced off the baseline.
The ball didn't go in!
Manchester City fans were speechless. Aguero's desperate shot failed to score?
Damn God, how could this goal not be scored?
Tong Yi, who was on the sidelines, immediately waved and shouted, "Leo, go check out the situation!"
To be honest, Tong Yi was very worried. He cried bitterly when he saw Van Dijk. He was afraid that Van Dijk would be injured. Van Dijk is really too important to Crystal Palace. He must not be injured.
!
This ball looks like Van Dijk tackled Aguero, but in fact Van Dijk is also very dangerous.
Van Dijk's big truck drove at a speed of several hundred miles and hit a wall. This put a huge load on his long legs and might even break them.
It's strange that Tong Yi isn't nervous.
Wagner immediately nodded, then stood up and rushed into the court.
Also rushing onto the pitch with Wagner was Manchester City's team doctor. Manchester City's Sergio Aguero also looked dangerous.
Shhhhhhh!
The Manchester City fans at the scene were very dissatisfied and angry. They cursed Van Dijk crazily and the referee crazily. They thought this should be a penalty kick and Van Dijk should be sent off with a red card.
Van Dijk's action was simply aimed at a loser and should have been sent off with a red card!
In fact, both of them are going for the ball.
The reaction of the two people was almost at the same time, which was very obvious in the slow-motion replay. The only difference was that Aguero's position was a little better, and he touched the football first. And at the end, Van Dijk saw Aguero
When he touched the football first, he still closed his legs.
Otherwise, both legs should be destroyed.
As he said, the fans in front of the TV felt like they had toothaches when they saw the slow-motion replay.
This scene is too brutal.
These two guys are both ruthless people. They knew that such a tragic collision would happen, but neither of them gave up. They both went for the ball. What a fight!
This ball really can't be said to be an intentional injury, and it really can't be said to be a foul.
And Aguero has already completed the shot.
Therefore, the referee had no indication of the ball and indicated that it was a goal kick.
That's why the Manchester City fans who came from afar are so angry, so crazy, and so unhappy.
In their opinion, this goal was a foul by Van Dijk and he should be sent off with a red card. Then Manchester City should also get a penalty kick. If you don't call it this way, your referee will be a black whistle!
Shhhhhhh!
The Manchester City fans frantically put pressure on the referee, but the referee remained unmoved and upheld the original decision.
This angered the Manchester City fans. If there were not enough security personnel on site, I really don’t know what these over-emotional Manchester City fans would do.
Tong Yi is not worried about this now, he is worried about Van Dijk's injury.
To be honest, he really doesn't want anything to happen to Van Dijk. Van Dijk is really important to Crystal Palace.
At this moment, Wagner immediately led Van Dijk, who stood up, to the sidelines for treatment.
Seeing this, the Crystal Palace fans breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the way Van Dijk was walking, he should have no big problem, or even nothing.
Seeing this, Tong Yi breathed a sigh of relief, everything was fine.
And Manchester City fans are quitting. How dare you, Van Dijk, do nothing? You are looking for death!
Because the fans of Manchester City were mentally unbalanced, because Aguero didn't seem to be okay. He didn't get up at this time, and even the referee started to call for a stretcher to enter the field.
You Van Dijk is fine, but our Aguero is seriously injured.
Depend on!
The Manchester City fans exploded instantly and their emotions collapsed.
They frantically cursed the Crystal Palace people, Van Dijk, and the referee of this game.
