December 10, 2016, Kingston Communications Stadium, Yorkshire, England.
What is being played here today is a match in the 15th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season. The two sides are the home team Hull City and the spectator team Crystal Palace.
There is a huge difference in the current rankings between the two teams. Hull City ranks second from the bottom in the Premier League with 11 points, while Crystal Palace ranks first in the Premier League with 40 points. Crystal Palace is nearly 30 points ahead of its opponents. Between the two teams
The difference in strength is evident.
Therefore, before the game, almost all media felt that Crystal Palace would definitely win this game.
Even Webster, who often shouts that Crystal Palace will collapse, said that Crystal Palace should be able to win this game easily, and that the strength of Hull City is indeed too different.
Even though Phelan was full of confidence before the game, he was still not favored by everyone. .??.
The strength gap between the two teams is too big.
Today, a lot of Crystal Palace fans came to watch the away game to support the Crystal Palace team.
Because, after this game, they will not be able to watch the Crystal Palace game live for a while.
After this round of competition, Crystal Palace will go to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup.
I won't be staying in England for at least a week.
Crystal Palace's 16th and 17th rounds of the Premier League have both been rescheduled. If we see Crystal Palace again in the Premier League, we have to wait until the 18th round of the Premier League on December 26, 2016.
Therefore, Crystal Palace people will not be able to watch Crystal Palace games live for half a month.
Today, they naturally want to come to the scene to watch the game and support Crystal Palace.
It is said that nearly 5,000 Crystal Palace fans came to watch the game today.
This stadium can only accommodate a total of 25,000 people. Fans of the visiting team Crystal Palace accounted for one-fifth of the venue, which is indeed relatively rare.
Crystal Palace fans actively cheered for their team.
As expected, Crystal Palace played all substitutes in this game. None of the main players, and even the goalkeeper was changed. Maignan appeared in the starting lineup.
However, even with all the main players playing, Crystal Palace played very proactively.
From the beginning of the game, Crystal Palace continued to press at a high level, forcing the Hull people to the point of being exhausted.
Crystal Palace's pressure was indeed very fierce. It was difficult for the Hull City people to even play the ball forward normally. They often made passing errors under high pressure, which caused their goal to withstand wave after wave of Crystal Palace people's attacks.
.
Hull City's goal is in danger!
The reporters in the press box in the stands nodded one after another. It was exactly as they expected.
Hull City had almost no chance in this game.
Even if Crystal Palace comes out with all substitutes
, the strength gap between Hull City and Crystal Palace is still somewhat obvious. Because Crystal Palace’s tactical system is very good, and these full substitute players play like a whole, Hull City really has no good solution.
.
From the beginning of the game to now, Hull City people have only been tired of defending.
Suddenly, Crystal Palace stole the ball again in the frontcourt. The opponent's Huddlestone made a mistake when passing the ball, and the football rolled directly to Llorente's feet.
Llorente immediately pushed the ball to the wing after holding the ball.
After stealing the ball, Crystal Palace's offense and defense transition was very fast, giving the opponent no chance to react and reorganize its defense. As soon as Crystal Palace's counterattack came forward, the opponent's defense would be in chaos. This is the Crystal Palace people.
Opportunity.
Asensio on the wing used the football to immediately cut inside with the ball and continue to backlog the opponent's chaotic defense.
Hull City's defensive players were in a bit of a disarray and couldn't find their man.
Hull City's defensive players were shocked, because they knew very well that Asensio had a good long-range shooting ability, and he could shoot with both left and right feet, without any reverse foot.
It would be very dangerous for Asensio to take a long shot at this time.
Hull City's center back Curtis Davies immediately rushed out and forced Asensio, denying Asensio a chance to shoot long distance.
Unexpectedly, Asensio didn't take a long shot at all, but quickly crossed the wing.
Theo rushed up quickly from the wing. He didn't stop the ball, just swung his leg and made a pass. The football drew a wonderful arc, directly bypassing Dawson at the front point, and flew to the center.
Jimenez in the middle rushed up quickly, jumped high, and slammed the football with his head.
With a bang, the football shot quickly towards Hull City's goal.
The ball speed is very fast!
The goalkeeper in front of the goal, Marshall, immediately jumped out, but did not touch the football at all.
There was really nothing Marshall could do about such a close header. Jimenez's header was very precise, his power was very sufficient, and the ball was very fast. There was nothing the goalkeeper could do.
Powerful and sinking!
The football flew into Hull City's goal without any suspense.
One to zero!
In the 17th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace, which continued to exert high pressure on its opponents, broke through the opponent's goal and took the lead!
Jimenez scored the goal!
Jimenez has been under a lot of pressure recently!
Because Ignacio is now ready to come back and start restorative training. This is not good news for him
ah!
Now he is Ibrahimovic's substitute and can get a lot of playing opportunities. But once Ignacio comes back, his playing order will be ranked behind Ibrahimovic and Ignacio.
After Nasio, the chances of playing will be greatly reduced!
At this time, he hopes to seize the opportunity, perform well, let Tong Yi and the coaching staff see his ability and effectiveness, and strive to secure his position as the main rotation player.
Therefore, Jimenez has been very proactive on the court recently.
His hard work was rewarded today as he scored and helped the team break the deadlock.
Bang bang bang!
Tong Yi on the sidelines also stood up and applauded Jimenez. This guy did perform well and deserves encouragement. .??.
Seeing Tong Yi's actions, Jimenez was very excited and secretly encouraged him to continue to perform like this in the next games to show Tong Yi his abilities.
I am qualified to take on the main rotation position.
I will not let you down!
The media reporters in the stands nodded their heads one after another when they saw this. It was exactly as we predicted. Hull City had no way of causing any trouble to Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace would definitely win this game.
Feilan on the sidelines remained calm and did not have any extreme reactions at this time, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
The game restarted, and Crystal Palace still had an absolute advantage.
Hull City wanted to try to attack, but unfortunately the ball rolled to the wing and was intercepted by Crystal Palace. Witsel's judgment of the passing route was very accurate, and he intercepted the ball directly in the middle of the road.
He came down. Then he directly made a powerful long pass and drove the football towards the front court.
Jimenez in the frontcourt carried Dawson behind him, jumped high, and directly shook his head to ferry.
The football quickly flew to the feet of Perisic on the wing.
After receiving the ball, Perisic accelerated and cut inside, like a sharp dagger piercing the heart of Hull City. Hull City's defense in the penalty area was in chaos.
Jimenez immediately stepped in and connected with Perisic, making Hull City's penalty area even more chaotic.
At this moment, Perisic seized the opportunity and suddenly shot out in the chaos. The football shot out quickly and flew towards Hull City's goal.
Hull City fans and players were stunned.
At this moment, there was a bang, and Marshall made a contribution. He jumped out from the side and saved the football from the baseline with one palm.
Bang bang bang!
The Hull City fans at the scene were very excited and excited, and they applauded one after another.
If this ball is not saved, this ball will be conceded again. Marshall is simply their god. This ball was saved beautifully. The Hull City fans also became excited and felt that this game
Hull City have a chance.
Come on, we must win this game.
Give the Crystal Palace people a hard slap.
We at Hull City are going to create a miracle and become the first team to defeat Crystal Palace in the Premier League this season. Come on, Hull City players!
Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity!
Ashraf drove the football directly into Hull City's penalty area with an arc. Dawson and Davis jumped up high in the penalty area. Unfortunately, they did not touch the football at all. The football was caught by Van Dijk between them.
It was hit, and the football shot quickly towards the upper right corner of Hull City's goal.
The Hull City fans were shocked!
The Crystal Palace players were ready to celebrate the goal at this time, but unfortunately the ball went slightly over the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
It was very suspenseful, Hull City people almost conceded the second goal.
Crystal Palace is indeed very strong, and Hull City's players all feel the tremendous pressure. In this game, Hull City really don't seem to have any good opportunities. In this game, they Hull City
Ercheng should be losing, right?
As the game continued, Hull City had a bit of self-doubt.
Phelan immediately stood up and reminded the Hull City players not to doubt themselves and to believe in themselves. Crystal Palace is indeed very strong, but you are not bad either. You will have a chance if you play seriously.
Tong Yi couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Felan.
To be honest, Phelan is really very good. He grasps the psychological changes of the Hull City players on the pitch very accurately. It is very useful to stand up and howl like this at this time.
.
As expected, he was Sir Alex Ferguson's former assistant, someone with two skills.
In the stadium, Hull City's players were awakened by the roar, and each one became more confident again.
Moreover, the cheers of the Hull City fans at the scene never stopped, and the Hull City players were instantly engulfed by passion. They were full of enthusiasm and energy!
So what if you are Crystal Palace at the top of the Premier League?
attack!
Hull City's attack quickly advanced into the hinterland of Crystal Palace, which was a bit dangerous.
Wing-back Robertson went up, and midfielder Huddlestone found Robertson with a precise diagonal pass. Robertson forced a pass under the interference of Ashraf, and the football quickly flew into the penalty area.
Center. Forward Demand in the center of the penalty area immediately rushed forward and headed back before Dias. The football immediately flew towards the rushing second forward Si.
Nogueras!
Si who rushed up.
Nogueiras didn't wait for the football to hit the ground, jumped up with scissor kicks, and hit the football hard!
Boom, the football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Danger!
Crystal Palace in danger!
