One to zero!
Crystal Palace took the lead, and just three minutes into the game, Chelsea's faces were ashen.
Could there be a worse start than this?
Chelsea fans were very unhappy, even very angry.
They frantically accused Scott, the referee of this game.
Your penalty is simply outrageous. Do you think you came with a mission today?
Conte on the sidelines was also very dissatisfied. How could a red card and a penalty kick be awarded at the beginning of the game? Is your Crystal Palace Barcelona?
Crystal Palace fans were very happy.
They don’t think there is anything wrong with this ball! You damn Chelsea people just ask if Azpilicueta committed a foul? Is it a foul for charging someone in the penalty area without rushing the ball? Is the person pulling behind this dangerous?
Action, right? Such an action does not give a red card? What action gives a red card?
Is it really necessary to give a red card to a useless person?
There is nothing wrong with giving this ball a red card.
Who told you Chelsea to play football so dirty?
Tong Yi kept applauding, it was a good goal, Crystal Palace should be able to relax in this game.
After all, starting from the third minute, Chelsea will have one less player.
Originally Tong Yi thought Chelsea would choose to make substitutions, but no, they just passively changed the formation. From 3421 to 3411, the original midfield wing-back Alonso directly returned to the defense to replace
Azpilicueta was sent off, and Hazard, who was originally behind Costa, retreated directly to the midfield wing-back Alonso's position.
So, this lineup looks pretty good.
The only drawback is that Hazard is further away from the Crystal Palace goal.
And Hazard's defensive ability is really poor.
Letting Hazard play as a wing-back is not a good decision.
Tong Yi naturally saw this and immediately waved his hand to focus on Hazard's defense. In an instant, Hazard's side was hit by rotation, which also put Chelsea's defense in danger.
Conte's eyes tightened when he saw this, and he felt a little worried.
Hazard is really good at attacking. If you ask him to play the wing-back position, it is simply impossible.
Now Hazard has become a loophole for Chelsea.
Just now, after the continuous cooperation between Mbappe and Carvajal, Carvajal suddenly cut into the penalty area and completely destroyed Hazard. After attracting the defensive attention, Carvajal passed the ball back in an inverted triangle.
Ibrahimovic missed the point, and De Bruyne, who followed up, directly met the ball and blasted the goal.
The football roared out and hit the goal post firmly, making a buzzing sound.
Almost!
Crystal Palace almost scored a goal, it seems
The Chelsea fans looked pale.
It's dangerous, it's really too dangerous.
Conte naturally saw it, and he immediately stretched out his hand to signal the Chelsea players on the court to change positions immediately. He asked Cesc Fabregas in the attacking midfielder position to immediately change positions with Hazard, and let Hazard go
Play as the second striker and let Fabregas play as a wing-back.
After making such adjustments, Chelsea's defense has not improved much.
Because Crystal Palace is still attacking this way crazily, Fabregas is also a little unable to resist. Because Mbappe and Carvajal of Crystal Palace are very fast, but Fabregas is not fast enough and can't get on.
He couldn't get off. He was defeated by Mbappe and Carvajal twice in a row with their speed.
Just now, Mbappe immediately beat Cesc Fabregas on the wing and then quickly cut inside into the penalty area. With a feint, he passed defender Cahill and shot directly with a swinging leg.
If it weren't for Courtois' brave performance in holding the football under his body, this goal would have been dangerous.
Chelsea fans are very worried.
Up to this point in the competition, they seem to have no hope at all!
Substitute, you must substitute at this time!
Conte directly replaced Guy in the midfield with Willian, letting Fabregas fill Guy's position and letting Willian play as a wing-back on the wing.
To be honest, Tong Yi frowned slightly when he saw this.
Why doesn't Conte change his formation at this time? Do you have to play a formation with wing-backs? If you continue to play like this, do you, Chelsea, really have a chance?
He shook his head slightly, feeling that they should have a good chance in this game.
But at the next moment, Chelsea played a good offense. It was started by Willian who had just come on. After receiving a pass from Cesc Fabregas in the middle, he suddenly made a long diagonal pass and accurately found Kos in the frontcourt.
Ta Costa jumped high before Rudiger, flicked his head and passed the football to Hazard who was advancing forward.
Hazard is very fast and has excellent ball control skills.
He stretched out his legs to hook the falling football back to a comfortable position in front of himself. Without adjusting, he directly fired a kick at the line of the penalty area.
The football roared out and flew straight to the Crystal Palace goal.
Both Mortensen and Shearer were very frightened and roared loudly. They really didn't expect Chelsea's attack to come suddenly. Moreover, the threat of this ball was very great, just like a meteor, so dangerous!
The Chelsea fans at the scene screamed with excitement.
Unfortunately, Alisson made a great save in front of the goal and caught the football firmly.
Azar is in trouble
Do you believe that you can hold this ball?
He stared at Alisson at the table in great surprise, with a look of horror in his eyes.
It turns out that we are not the only ones with cheats in front of the Chelsea goal, there are also ones here at Crystal Palace. Originally, Hazard was very confident about his long-range shot, but after seeing the goal, he was really speechless.
Bang bang bang!
The Crystal Palace fans who came from afar gave Alisson their applause. This goal was really great. Even Tong Yi on the sidelines stood up and applauded non-stop.
Although Chelsea are disappointed, everyone is still very happy. Because they know very well that their team has gradually found the rhythm of the game, and the next step is the beginning of their Chelsea counterattack.
With a bang, De Bruyne knocked Chelsea's dream away with another long-range shot.
De Bruyne's long-range shot was really very fast, like a stream of light. Even Courtois in front of the goal did not touch the football. The football was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
Everyone in Chelsea was stunned.
Then, Chelsea fans criticized Fabregas, how could you hit De Bruyne with a long shot so easily? And it was still in that position, how dangerous it was!
If Kanter Gay Jr. were playing this ball, this ball would definitely not give De Bruyne a chance to take a long shot.
Even Courtois was very angry, roaring loudly at the defensive players at the front of the penalty area, venting his dissatisfaction. Although he did not name him, everyone knew who he was talking about.
Fabregas was very calm and raised his hand directly, saying that this time there was a problem with his defense. He would never give the Crystal Palace people such an opportunity next time.
In fact, Fabregas himself knows very well that his defensive pressure is very high.
In fact, he tried his best to defend this time, but De Bruyne still got rid of him. Moreover, Ibrahimovic came to "screen and roll" for De Bruyne. How could he keep up with De Bruyne?
Woolen cloth?
Fabregas really felt tremendous pressure.
After all, Chelsea were missing one player, so the game was still very tiring.
Conte frowned when he saw this, but there was no good way. If you want to attack to equalize the score, there will be problems in the backcourt. There is no way. Unless you send all the players back to defend, you don't want to go out again.
A goal was scored.
Obviously, this is unrealistic.
In this game, Chelsea's goal is to win and overtake Crystal Palace.
However, no one expected that the game would unfold like this. They got the red dot package at the beginning, which put Chelsea into absolute passivity. There was no way. Thinking of this, Conte hated this game.
The referee is Scott. If this guy hadn't messed up, this game would have definitely ended.
That won't be the case.
Conti also turned around and glared at Tong Yi opposite him!
Inside the stadium, Crystal Palace's offense is back with a vengeance!
It was really too fast. Who left Chelsea with one less player? Within a few minutes of organizing their attack, the ball was intercepted before they even advanced to the edge of the Crystal Palace penalty area.
Casemiro directly passed the football to the wing with a long diagonal kick. Mbappé on the wing jumped high, hit the football on top of William's head, and passed the football to the rushing Carvajal.
Wahar sprinted up to intercept the ball and went straight down. After catching up with the football, he immediately started to pass the ball.
The football drew a wonderful arc and flew directly into Chelsea's penalty area.
In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic and Luis almost took off at the same time. With a bang, the football was pushed out by Luis in a thrilling manner. The football flew out of the penalty area, but Cesc Fabregas at the front of the penalty area did not stop the football.
, the football rolled directly to De Bruyne behind him.
Chelsea fans are very worried, it's dangerous, it's De Bruyne again, in this position again.
Fabregas was also very worried. He immediately turned around and quickly pounced on De Bruyne.
But the moment he turned around, De Bruyne had already inserted the football into the ribs of Chelsea's penalty area with a diagonal kick, and then accurately rolled towards Salah in the space in the penalty area!
Danger, this is really dangerous.
Conte on the sidelines jumped up and frantically stretched out his hands to signal Chelsea's defensive players to intercept Salah.
If Salah is freed up in this position, isn't this looking for death?
Danger!
At this moment, Alonso was behind Salah and had no time to rush forward to interfere with Salah. Even at this time, Chelsea's defensive players had no chance to interfere with Salah. They could only
Hope is placed on goalkeeper Courtois, hoping that Courtois can perform a miracle and save the football from the bottom line.
The football quickly rolled in front of Salah, and Salah didn't hesitate at all. He immediately swung his legs and fired without stopping the ball.
With a bang, Salah's kick was very precise. The football suddenly accelerated and shot out like a cannonball, like a stream of light.
The ball was really fast, so fast that everyone at Chelsea was desperate!
Courtois, who was in front of the goal, also immediately jumped out with his arms stretched out, but did not touch the football at all. The football quickly flew past his palms and then rushed into the goal behind him.
Two to zero!
Crystal Palace expanded the score. Salah scored the goal and De Bruyne assisted!
Seeing this, Conte's eyes dimmed. He instantly felt that this game was completely over and there was no chance of it.
