To be honest, Britten actually doesn’t have much confidence in this game.
After all, Swansea are facing the second-placed team in the Premier League, Crystal Palace.
And it’s Crystal Palace that currently maintains an unbeatable victory.
How can they, the last-last team, compete with Crystal Palace, which is second in the league? How can their team, which has just changed coaches, compete with a team that has won all the games?
The chances of this match are slim!
But I still have to say tough words before the game, after all, I want to give the fans a little hope.
What's more important is to let the fans see their efforts. .??.
They are not bad, they are actively working hard and struggling.
In other words, the loss was not because we didn’t work hard or put in all our efforts, but because we were not strong enough. Don’t blame us.
December 23, 2017, Liberty Stadium, Swansea, Wales.
What is happening here today is the 19th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season, which is the last game of the first half of the Premier League this season. At the end of this round, the half-time champion of the 2017-2018 Premier League season is born.
Obviously, Crystal Palace's goal now is to win the Premier League title at the halfway point of this season.
beep!
Referee Greg Posen blew the whistle to start the game.
The first team to kick off was the home team Swansea. They were wearing white jerseys and attacked from the right to the left of the screen. However, it was obvious that they announced their goal as soon as the game started and were suppressed by Crystal Palace.
To be honest, the strength gap between the two teams is really huge.
Moreover, at this time, Swansea's side is really in a state of confusion, and they cannot show any good strength at all. Naturally, they cannot threaten the Crystal Palace goal. Britton naturally hopes that the team
Those who can perform better keep coming to the sidelines and directing the game.
Obviously, Britton hopes to use a victory to welcome his first first-team coaching game.
Although Crystal Palace is very strong, they do not have no chance at all.
After all, Crystal Palace just had a stalemate with Manchester United in midweek. In this game, Crystal Palace also played a full rotation of players. Isn't this their chance for Swansea?
Therefore, Britten proposed a fierce opening attack.
It's a pity that the reality is somewhat different from his guess. Even with the rotation of players, Crystal Palace is still very strong.
Swansea really can't beat the Crystal Palace people!
Crystal Palace's high pressure really made them lose their temper at all. Swansea was tired of defending from the beginning of the game and kept defending.
Seeing this, Britten was really desperate.
It seems that there is really no protection period for rookies in football. In this way, Tong Yi is really amazing. In his first season as a coach, he led 1860 Munich to win the championship and be promoted to the Bundesliga. This is true.
sharp!
Britten immediately turned to look at Tong Yi on the sidelines, his eyes filled with envy!<
br>
It would be great if I were Tong Yi.
At present, Swansea's situation is really very bad. Let's not talk about the offense, there is none. The defense is also full of loopholes, which is really scary. Keep playing like this.
, it was only a matter of time before Swansea conceded the goal.
However, Britten did not give up at all!
Britton came to the sidelines and reminded the Swansea players to pay attention to defense and defend with all their strength.
As long as they can withstand the onslaught of Crystal Palace at the start of the game, then Swansea are unlikely to lose this game.
So, hold on, just hold on!
Yes, Britton was much more pragmatic at this time and no longer fantasized about becoming famous after defeating Crystal Palace, which had won the league.
This game can even maintain a draw, and getting one point is a victory.
Why did Crystal Palace immediately recycle the entire team and participate in the defense, not giving the Crystal Palace people a chance at all.
But to be honest, Swansea really can't stop the Crystal Palace people.
The Crystal Palace people's offense is really too strong.
On the wing, after the Crystal Palace side passed the ball continuously, Sabitzer in the midfield quickly pushed the football to the wing.
Sancho, who received the ball from the wide wing, quickly cut inside with the ball and entered the Swansea penalty area.
Facing the opponent's center back Fernandez, Sancho quickly spiked the ball, got out of the way and fired directly with his leg. The football roared out and slightly missed the goal.
This is a good opportunity, and it can be regarded as a wake-up call for Swansea.
If we continue to play like this, it should be very easy for Crystal Palace to score goals.
On Swansea's side was Arizona. At this time, Britton was jumping up and down. He really felt that it was not easy to be a head coach. In this game, he watched the progress of the game and felt about Swansea's predicament.
, he turned out to be incompetent.
This feeling really made him very uncomfortable.
At this time, Crystal Palace's attack was still continuing.
Moreover, Crystal Palace's offense became more and more fierce, overwhelming Swansea's side, which was scrambling and unable to breathe.
In this game, it was really difficult for Swansea to keep a clean sheet and score a point.
Now Swansea people can only rely on luck!
Mortensen suddenly said, "To be honest, Swansea must confirm a new coach as soon as possible at this time. Otherwise, Swansea will really be relegated this season!"
Indeed, from the current point of view, Britten's side is really not good.
Even though Britten has also made adjustments to his tactics, they basically seem to be fine-tuned. Overall, he still uses Clement's tactics. Clement's dismissal has proved that his tactics
It doesn't work. If Swansea continues to use it like this, then there will be only one way to be relegated.
Changes must be made on Swansea's side.
Of course, Britton is not the one who can change Swansea.
Therefore, changing the coach is the most important thing to do now.
At this moment, Crystal Palace's offense struck again in the stadium. This time it came to the other side. Llorente's long pass directly found Gnabry on the wing. Gnabry held the ball and pretended to be inside.
Cut, suddenly turned into a cross.
The football flew quickly into the Swansea penalty area. Giroud jumped high in the penalty area, overwhelmed the opponent's center back Alfie Mawson, and slammed the football into the Swansea goal.
Fortunately, goalkeeper Fabianski in front of the goal reacted quickly and saved the football from the bottom line with one palm.
Otherwise, the ball will be lost.
Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity.
Seeing this, whether it was the fans watching the game or the media reporters in the stands, they all thought that Crystal Palace's victory in this game should be a certainty.
Swansea is indeed too weak and there is no way to stop Crystal Palace.
Don't look at this game. Crystal Palace is full of rotations and substitute players. The strength they have shown is far superior to Swansea. What can Swansea do to stop Crystal Palace? It is simply impossible!
The Swansea fans at the scene were very speechless when they saw this. Although they have not conceded a goal yet, the feeling given to them at the scene is that Swansea will concede a goal sooner or later!
Originally, the attendance rate for this game was not high, but now many people have left the game early, and there are really not many people in the stands!
Yes, just over ten minutes into the game, Swansea fans left the stadium early.
This shows how disappointed the fans are with Swansea's performance!
The Liberty Stadium, which can accommodate more than 20,000 fans, is probably less than 10,000 fans according to current visual inspection. And a large part of them are fans of the away team Crystal Palace. From here you can see that Swansea has a lot of fans this season.
How much has Xi failed!
However, Swansea fans really can't stand this game!
Swansea is completely defensive, there is no counter attack at all, they can only be beaten!
In the 17th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace continued to pass the ball and organize the attack. Gnabry, who was holding the ball on the wing, quickly pushed the football to Achraf who was advancing forward. Achraf caught up with the football's first
As soon as the time was up, he passed the ball and the football roared out and flew into the Swansea penalty area!
In the penalty area, Giroud stepped in from the back row, jumped high, overwhelmed Fernandez in front of him, and hit the football hard with his head.
The football shot quickly towards the lower right corner of the goal!
The ball was very fast, and Fabianski at the goal reacted very quickly and immediately jumped out. Unfortunately, he didn't touch it at all.
To the football, the football rolled quickly into the Swansea goal.
One to zero, Crystal Palace has opened the door to victory!
This goal was like opening a Pandora's box of goals, and Crystal Palace's goals seemed to come one after another, defeating Swansea in an instant.
Three minutes later, Crystal Palace played exquisite coordination in the midfield.
Midfielder Sabitzer cleverly used his heel to pass the football passed by Llorente to Giroud behind him. Giroud staggered the opponent's defensive player with a trick kick, and then lightly picked the football to the side.
road.
Gnabry, who rushed up from the wing, volleyed away without stopping the ball, and kicked the football hard into the Swansea goal.
Faced with such a close shot, Fabianski had no choice.
Two to zero, Crystal Palace expanded the score.
This goal also shows that Crystal Palace will definitely win this game, and Crystal Palace also got the three points. Except for the two rescheduled games this season, Crystal Palace seems to have won half of the game, creating a miracle!
However, this game is not over yet, Crystal Palace's offense is still continuing.
In the 33rd minute of the first half, midfielder Sabitzer's dispatching pass created another opportunity!
He relied on the opponent's defensive midfielder Roque Mesa, and then suddenly pushed the football flat.
Llorente, who rushed up quickly, kept the ball coming and fired a violent volley. The football roared out and shot into the lower right corner of the goal as fast as it flew on the grass!
The ball was so fast that Fabianski had no choice.
Three to zero, Crystal Palace once again expanded the score and secured the victory.
When he saw this, Britten was also desperate.
Sure enough, the strength of the Crystal Palace is really too strong, and it is really not something that ordinary people can defeat.
At this time, the Swansea people also accepted the cruel reality of this game. They are afraid that Swansea will really be relegated this season. Although there is still half a season, they really have no hope.
.
However, Crystal Palace's offense did not stop. Crystal Palace's offense still threatened Swansea's goal.
In the first minute of the second half, Crystal Palace got a direct free kick in the frontcourt. Full-back Achraf stood in front of the football and hit a beautiful curve ball, beating Fabianski.
The goal helped the team expand the score and achieve a 4-0 lead.
Of course, the game is not over yet, Crystal Palace's goals are still continuing.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, Crystal Palace once again played wonderful cooperation. The football came to the feet of Special Olympics on the wing. Special Olympics made a pass and quickly passed the football into Swansea's goal.
The penalty area. Haaland, who was on the bench in the penalty area, jumped high into the air and shot sideways, blasting the football into the Swansea goal.
Five to zero!
