Single attacking midfielder De Bruyne

It can be seen that the Crystal Palace lineup has made some small adjustments today. In fact, one person has been rotated, and that is Cancelo on the wing. His replacement is the young Theo, which should be normal.
of rotation.
Because after this round of games, the Premier League will usher in a short offseason, so the significance of rotation or not at this time is not particularly big.
Naturally, these main players still have to go into battle.
Everton has all their main players on the field. Basically, it can be seen that what they said before the game is true. They just want to fight Crystal Palace to the end.
In this game, they are here for revenge.
Tong Yi stood on the sidelines, quietly looking at Everton's starting lineup. To be honest, he was not worried. He felt that Crystal Palace had a good chance of winning this game.
The eyes of the reporters in the stands were still on Mbappe. They really didn't expect that this guy Tong Yi would actually use Mbappe continuously. This guy Mbappe is really Tong Yi.
His biological son.
Delvistri stared at Tong Yi, confused.
At this moment, referee Zhu blew the whistle to start the game, and the home team Everton kicked off first.
Everton launched a fierce attack as soon as they came up, and they were very confident in their offense.
The players in their lineup such as Barkley, Lukaku and Lennon all have superb offensive abilities. This summer, they also spent nearly 30 million pounds to introduce Bolasie from Manchester United. This offensive ability is
They have strengthened a lot, and they are naturally confident in this game.
We, Everton, can be considered as flying together on both sides. How can you, Crystal Palace, stop our attack?
We, Everton, must win this game.
Everton's offense is more direct from the two wings. The two wingers do not make frequent passes. Instead, after holding the ball on the wing, they frantically try to break through and head towards the Crystal Palace penalty area.
Both Lennon and Bolasie are good at holding the ball on the wing and cutting inside to break through. But today, facing the Crystal Palace defense, their breakthrough success rate is really not very high. They are often choked by the Crystal Palace defensive players.
break.
Everton's offensive focus is still on Specialo's side. They all feel that Specialo is young and can be a breakthrough for Crystal Palace.
Therefore, Lennon tried to break through many times, but the results were not very good.
"Hey! It's over again. Lennon's breakthrough was intercepted by the young Special Olympics. Special Olympics can always block Lennon at the most critical position. This is the reason why Lennon moves slowly because he is older.
, or is Special Olympics really capable?
Why is it so strong?" Mortensen was shocked.
Today Special Olympics has defended Everton's Lennon many times alone. Everton's offensive threat was not realized entirely because Lennon was frozen by Special Olympics.
This forced Everton to shift the focus of their offense to the other side, and new aid Bolasie made a crazy breakthrough.
But the effect doesn't look very reasonable. Carvajal's defense is still very tight, especially the players on Crystal Palace's defensive midfielder will take turns to attack Bolasie, which also makes Bolasie's performance inconsistent.
Not very good.
Seeing this, Koeman's brows tightened.
The progress of this game was completely different from what he had imagined. The opponent's defense was really strong, and their offense was so powerful that they couldn't break through the opponent's defense. This was a bit difficult to deal with.
Koeman was very anxious and nervous.
At this time, Crystal Palace also launched a counterattack.
Theo, who stole the ball, passed the football directly to Casemiro in the middle.
Immediately, a diagonal kick quickly sent the football to the feet of Mbappe on the front wing.
Shhhhhhh!
Everton fans immediately booed Mbappe wildly with crazy boos, and Mbappe put pressure on him.
Because they knew very well that Mbappe was under too much pressure at this time, so they put pressure on Mbappe crazily, and Mbappe was prone to collapse.
This is their chance.
But Mbappe, who was receiving the ball from the wing, took advantage of the situation and passed the ball past the oncoming Cleverley!
Cleverley was really a bit reckless here. He rushed forward crazily, thinking he could destroy the football first. Who knew that Mbappe was the first one, and the ball passed him instantly.
He immediately reached out and pulled.
It's a pity that he can't just get Mbappe's jersey.
Because Mbappe is really too fast.
The Everton fans in the stands were stunned. They did not expect Mbappe to be so fast. They all believed that Cleverley had a great chance with this ball and Crystal Palace's counterattack was not threatening.
Unexpectedly, Mbappe passed Cleverley in an instant, caught up with the football, and quickly headed towards Everton's penalty area.
Mbappe holds the ball very quickly, and Everton midfielder Barry keeps chasing him, but he just can't catch up.
And the distance between the two is still widening.
This gives full-back Ovie more opportunities.
Because at such a fast speed, Mbappe will definitely have problems with the ball. Once he controls the ball a little too much, Oviedo will seize the opportunity to destroy it.
However, at this moment, Mbappe changed direction and headed diagonally towards the center of Everton's penalty area.
Everton's center back Jagielka was clinging to Ibrahimovic, preventing Ibrahimovic from responding. Williams immediately stepped forward to block the ball-handler.
Bape.
But at this moment, De Bruyne, who was behind Mbappe, immediately made a diagonal move and quickly made a diagonal move toward the ribs on the left side of Everton's penalty area.
Williams was instantly led away by De Bruyne who was advancing forward.
Chance!
Mbappe's absolute chance!
mba
There is no one around Pei to interfere, so this is definitely a good opportunity to shoot directly from a long distance.
Evertonians also know that this gives Mbappe a chance, but they all believe that media reporters say that this guy is not very good, and there should be nothing commendable about his long-range shooting ability. Compared to Mbappe, Ibrahimovic
Rahimovic and De Bruyne were more threatening, so they pounced on these two people.
In an instant, Everton's goal was exposed to Mbappe's gun.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Mbappe, who was running 27 meters away from the goal, suddenly shot with a swing of his legs. With a bang, Mbappe's right leg hit the ball hard, and the ball flew rapidly.
Cum out!
Accident!
In front of the goal, Dutch national goalkeeper Stekelenberg was very surprised. He did not expect that Mbappe would suddenly take a long shot.
This Mbappé is really bold!
However, Stekelenberg's reaction was very quick and he immediately jumped out.
But Stekelenberg didn't touch the football at all, because the football flew towards the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball.
The ball speed is very fast, as fast as lightning.
Moreover, the angle of the ball was very tricky, and it hit a blind corner. Even if Stekelenberg was possessed by Courtois and Casillas, he couldn't save the ball.
World wave!
In the 17th minute of the match at the Sandwich Stadium, Mbappe blasted a world-wide kick that directly sent the football into the upper right corner of the Everton goal.
The whole place was dead silent!
No one expected that Mbappe would come up with such a kick.
The commentator on the scene was very excited and howled with excitement. Then the Crystal Palace fans on the scene roared with excitement, instantly turning the away game into a home game.
Everton fans' eyes were glazed over.
impossible!
Delvittri and others also stared in disbelief.
Is this a fool's errand? This is definitely a fool's errand. This is not a performance that Mbappe can deliver. This is luck!
Tong Yi on the sidelines was very excited and immediately clapped excitedly, giving the applause to Mbappe!
Tong Yi knew very well that this goal was definitely not luck, let alone a mistake. Mbappe's shooting skills are so good, and his shooting ability at high speed is really very strong, even beyond it.
top shooter.
This is just Mbappe's basic skills.
Now that Mbappe has found his rhythm and way of playing, Mbappe will explode next.
Tong Yi had a smile on his face because he knew someone was going to be in trouble.
But Delvestri and others in the stands gnashed their teeth. They felt sick when they saw Tong Yi's smile. They even felt that Tong Yi was rampant when he got his way, and Mbappe just scored a goal. You
How happy are you? How proud are you?
Tong Yi didn't care about these guys at all, his eyes still stayed on the game.
Indeed, Crystal Palace currently only leads by one goal, which is unstable.
Tong Yi secretly stretched out his hand to signal the Crystal Palace players to continue putting actual pressure on the Evertonians.
This game must be won.
Lukaku's face was also very ugly at this time. He had very few opportunities, which made him play poorly.
It was very frustrating. This guy Van Dijk really stuck to him like brown candy. He really didn't have any good opportunities. To be honest, he was a little scared by being stared at.
Van Dijk's defense is really watertight. If this continues, he will have no chance.
Therefore, Lukaku retreated to participate in the attack, staying away from the penalty area of Van Dijk and Crystal Palace.
However, this guy Kanter stuck up again, which made Lukaku very uncomfortable.
More importantly, the two wings could not be opened at all, which could not help him attract the defense, so he had very few opportunities. Lukaku was very frustrated, and anxious, he began to frequently put pressure on the players on the two wings.
Already.
Bolasie and Lennon were already very unhappy with the Crystal Palace players. Upon hearing Lukaku's complaints, they became even more unhappy and were on the verge of explosion.
At this moment, Lennon on the wing made a mistake.
Yes, this time it wasn’t the defensive players of Crystal Palace who defended well, it was really Lennon who made a mistake. Facing the opponent’s defense, he kept pedaling his bicycle on the spot, trying to stun Theo. His eyes were always fixed on Theo,
Lennon, who was not playing football, did not even notice that the football between his legs had secretly rolled out and towards the sideline, as if it was about to roll out of the sideline.
But Lennon didn't notice it at all and was still pedaling his bicycle frantically on the spot.
Suddenly, Theo quickly rushed out diagonally and rushed to the side.
Lennon was dumbfounded. What is Theo doing? Is he trying to make way for me?
At this moment, Lukaku wildly roared "Ball!"
Lennon was shocked and immediately looked down. There was no football under his feet!
Lennon was shocked and immediately turned around and saw Theo running toward their half with the ball at high speed.
Lennon looked confused, why did the ball end up at Theo's feet?
He didn't have time to think about it and immediately turned around and chased after him quickly, but the distance was too far and he couldn't live up to it.
Facing Barkley coming up, Theo quickly passed the football across the ball and rushed past Barkley. Then Kanter's diagonal ball rolled directly in front of him without stopping, and he didn't need to slow down.
You can quickly advance with the ball.
Everton's full-back Coleman immediately rushed forward. This was the moment Theo was waiting for. He passed an outside-footed curve ball forward. The football drew a curve ball and directly bypassed Koko who came up.
Coleman, quickly rolled towards Coleman's back - Mbappe!
Yes, Mbappe and Salah changed positions. He easily received the ball, and then quickly accelerated and penetrated into Everton's penalty area. Everton's center back Jagielka had no choice but to put down Ibrahimo.
Vic rushed forward. Jagielka thought Mbappe would pass the football directly to Ibrahimovic, so he held back when he rushed out, just to quickly turn around and pounce on Ibrahimovic.
Vicky, go to defense.
Unexpectedly, this guy Mbappe ignored him, took a step directly in the penalty area, volleyed hard with his legs, and shot the football towards the upper right corner of the goal with a heavy kick.
The ball was very fast, blowing past Jagielka's face like a gust of wind, and then slammed into the Everton goal.
Two to zero!
In front of the goal, Stekelenberg punched the turf hard, venting his inner dissatisfaction and anger. His sight of the ball was completely blocked by Jagielka in front of him. When he saw the football
By that time, it was too late to save, and I could only watch the football fly into the goal.
