In front of the TV, Guardiola, Mourinho, Conte, Wenger and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Penalty kick!
Finally, Crystal Palace is finally conceding a goal!
Seeing this, they felt relieved. Fortunately, the Crystal Palace was not as invincible as it seemed.
If Liverpool can score against Crystal Palace, so can they.
Liverpool can beat Crystal Palace, so can they.
Calculating it this way, Crystal Palace is probably going to suffer several defeats. Wouldn't they have a chance to catch up with Crystal Palace?
To be honest, they are paying so much attention to this game today just to see how good the Crystal Palace is.
Since the start of the new season, Crystal Palace's performance has really put a lot of pressure on them.
If, in this game, Crystal Palace can defeat Liverpool as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, then they really won't be able to sleep.
If that's the case, this season's Premier League championship should be out of the question.
Crystal Palace should be as buggy this season as Arsenal was in the 2003 and 2004 seasons.
Now it looks like it’s okay, okay!
The reason Crystal Palace has achieved such amazing results in the past is mainly because their opponents are not particularly strong. When they meet a truly strong team, Crystal Palace will have problems.
Just like now against Liverpool.
Guardiola and others were staring closely at the TV screen and the penalty spot.
Who will take the penalty kick this time?
To be honest, they are very concerned.
This is about whether Liverpool can break through Crystal Palace's golden streak of not conceding a goal. This is very important!
After all, if there is one, there are two!
Now is the best time to break this oneness!
Of course, Guardiola and the others also know very well that players who take free throws at this time must be under a lot of pressure.
After all, you are facing a team that has not conceded a goal in more than ten consecutive games, a team that has not conceded a goal since the start of the new Premier League season. Such results and resume are naturally invisible pressure, and they can even be called goals.
Alisson was more powerful and calm before.
At this time, a person with good psychological quality and rich experience is needed to take charge.
It's best to...
Guardiola and the others were stunned for a moment. It seemed that Liverpool did not have a particularly suitable candidate. At present, Liverpool is still mainly composed of young players. The only offensive player who is older and more senior is Henderson!
Even Henderson is only 26 years old now.
This penalty kick won't be hanging, right?
Guardiola and others are in a state of confusion, so this is very possible!
Who will start the game for Liverpool? Is it Henderson, Coutinho, or Mane? Or is it Firmino?
Just as they suspected, Liverpool captain Henderson came up holding the football.
Indeed, at this time, the information on the court is the most shocking
The most prolific offensive player is Henderson.
He is the captain of the team and he must shoulder this responsibility.
Klopp on the sidelines seemed to trust Henderson, so Henderson stepped forward at this time.
The camera also focused closely on Henderson, giving a close-up of his face.
Obviously, the cameraman wants everyone to see Henderson's current expression, and wants to see Henderson's inner psychological changes through his expression.
Everyone in front of the TV saw Henderson's face clearly through the camera.
It seems that Henderson's expression does not change at all, just like a stone Buddha.
Guardiola and others nodded one after another, expressing satisfaction. At least in this aspect, Henderson is very good, very stable, and does not have any emotional fluctuations.
very good!
There should be a high chance that this goal will be scored.
The camera at the scene filmed the slap in the face for more than a minute, and then the camera turned around again and slapped Alisson's face in a close-up!
Obviously, the cameraman wanted to create a contrast.
Alisson is not as stern as Henderson and has a lot of depth. Alisson looks very relaxed, with a faint smile on his face, quietly watching Henderson play with the football.
He still had time to look around and check his position.
Guardiola and others were stunned. They didn't know whether Alisson was really relaxed or pretending to be relaxed? I wonder if this guy was pretending? If he wasn't pretending, then this guy is extremely confident, so this ball is a bit
Hanging.
Of course, penalty kicks are not only a psychological game between the offense and defense, but also a game of luck.
Half of the penalty kicks are 50-50.
Therefore, whether you make progress or not often depends on the weather.
Guardiola and the others are a little bit optimistic at this time.
However, it is obvious that they stand with Liverpool and Henderson, and they hope that the goal can be scored!
Of course, Tong Yi naturally did not want this goal to be scored.
He is also very clear about Henderson. This guy is indeed very capable, and he is also a very stable player who is willing to take offense and resentment. There is a great chance that he will take the penalty kick.
However, Tong Yi also has great trust in Alisson.
He believes Alisson will not let him down.
Of course, losing the ball is not a big deal.
Tong Yi himself actually knows very well that conceding the ball will happen sooner or later. There is not much difference between conceding the ball at this time and conceding it later. Even conceding the ball now is actually not bad. Conclude the ball early and relieve the unnecessary pressure.
Actually better.
Of course, if you can't miss the ball, you won't concede the ball!
It’s best not to concede the ball!
Tong Yi will not put any pressure on Alisson. This is a penalty kick. If you save it, you are a hero. Save it.
If you don't come out, you won't be a bad guy.
Just calm down.
However, Klopp on the sidelines was really nervous. His eyes were firmly fixed on the court, staring at Henderson who had already stood upright - the penalty kick was coming.
The Valley Stadium, which had been noisy just now, instantly fell silent. Even the Crystal Palace fans who had just madly booed Henderson also fell silent. They focused on Henderson in the stadium. The fans were cheering for Alisson.
.
Guardiola and others in front of the TV were also holding their breath.
coming soon!
The referee looked around and found nothing unusual. He reminded the players on both sides not to advance to the line early, and then blew the whistle for the free throw - beep!
After the whistle sounded, Henderson did not rush to run. Instead, he stood in front of the football for nearly half a minute. Then he took a deep breath and walked towards the football step by step. When he was halfway to the distance, Henderson
Sen suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the football!
What a change of pace!
All of this was designed by Henderson, which made the fans at the scene and in front of the TV feel very anxious and anxious.
Of course, Henderson most wants to make Alisson's mind fluctuate and disrupt Alisson's rhythm!
In this way, his chances will be much greater!
However, Alisson remained very calm in front of the goal.
He was not disturbed at all and stared closely at the football in front of the penalty spot.
At this moment, Henderson rushed towards the football, paused suddenly, changed his rhythm, and then quickly swung his legs and hit the football hard with his kick.
With a bang, the football shot out quickly!
At the same time, Alisson in front of the goal immediately kicked off the ground and pounced out.
Alisson pounced on the goal-bottom right corner!
Henderson's face changed instantly before the penalty kick, and his heart was shocked - he was about to suffer!
Sure enough, the football that was shot out quickly hit Alisson's outstretched arm, changed direction, and flew out of the baseline!
Toot toot!
Before the Liverpool fans at the scene fell into great disappointment, the referee blew his whistle directly, indicating that the penalty kick was not counted and invalid, and the penalty kick would be taken again.
Liverpool fans instantly showed expressions of ecstasy as they survived the disaster, OK, OK!
The Crystal Palace fans were very angry and dissatisfied. They frantically asked the referee why?
Tong Yi on the sidelines was also incomprehensible. He opened his arms and expressed his dissatisfaction to the fourth official and the referee.
The referee pointed to the penalty area line and made a few gestures to signal the Crystal Palace players to advance ahead of time when Henderson took the penalty kick. Henderson's change of rhythm before serving did not affect Alli.
loose, but it affected the Crystal Palace players outside the penalty area.
, causing them to enter the line early!
Seeing this gesture, Tong Yi was actually very speechless.
But there is no way!
Since the referee made the penalty, Tong Yi didn't have much to say. But he still expressed his dissatisfaction to the fourth official and put pressure on him, no matter what!
The fourth official signaled Tong Yi to calm down.
Judging from the slow-motion replay, strictly speaking, the Crystal Palace players did advance ahead of schedule. But this can only be seen through the slow-motion replay. The referee's eyes are a bit of a thief, and he can see all this.
clear?
I'm not used to it, but it's a fact that the penalty kick will be re-taken.
No matter how dissatisfied the Crystal Palace fans are, they have nothing to do. They can only hope that Alisson can bravely save the point again.
Although Guardiola and the others were relieved in front of the TV, their expressions were very solemn.
Although, Liverpool has another chance to serve again. But for now, Henderson is suppressed by Alisson in terms of momentum, and the pressure on Henderson will be greater. At this time, Henderson's penalty kick is better than the first
This time it was even more difficult.
Henderson, I hope you won’t disappoint us!
Henderson remained expressionless, like a machine without emotion.
He mechanically placed the football on the penalty spot and then stepped back step by step.
After choosing a position and standing up, his eyes were fixed on Alisson in front of the goal, as if to tell Alisson that I am not afraid of you, and even wanted to overwhelm Alisson in terms of momentum!
But Alisson remained relaxed and even gave Henderson a thumbs up.
Provocation, this is a naked provocation!
Liverpool fans want to tear the arrogant Alisson into pieces!
They were chanting, "Jordan, kick his ass and put the football in the Crystal Palace goal!"
Guardiola and others in front of the TV took a deep breath, stared at Henderson, and secretly said in their hearts, "We must get in this time!"
This is a great opportunity for Liverpool!
Klopp was also very nervous on the sidelines and worried inside!
beep!
At this moment, the referee blew the whistle for a free throw again.
This time, Henderson didn't make any foolhardy moves. He suddenly rushed in front of the football, rounded his right leg and hit the football hard with a kick - a powerful shot!
The football roared out and flew towards the goal-center!
And Crystal Palace goalkeeper Alisson rushed towards the goal-bottom right corner like lightning!
So Liverpool fans were pleasantly surprised, the ball was there!
Guardiola and others in front of the TV were also excited!
finally!
The first player to score the Crystal Palace goal this season has appeared!
Liverpool are going to take the lead!
This chapter has been completed!
