One to zero, in the 11th minute of the first half, Leicester took the lead.
Guardiola in front of the TV also saw an opportunity!
This Pierre is great!
This response was a bit beyond the expectations of Tong Yi and Crystal Palace, otherwise the game would not have been so smooth and effective.
However, Guardiola knows very well that Leicester City must have a backup plan.
Crystal Palace will definitely make adjustments immediately.
Tong Yi, a Chinese soft-boiled man, is still very powerful. He will definitely realize the problem. Once the Crystal Palace makes adjustments, if you come to Leicester City and don't respond accordingly, I'm afraid it will be very serious.
It's difficult.
Yes, the test of this game has just begun.
However, this is indeed a good start.
Guardiola and Manchester City fans have the same idea, they both hope that Leicester City can win this game.
Although it is difficult, it is not impossible.
Come on, Leicester City!
After taking the lead, Pierre's side made adjustments before Tong Yi's side. He immediately asked the Leicester City players to recover and defend the entire line to ensure that the goal was not missed. If there was a chance to counterattack, they would counterattack. If there was no chance, they would counterattack.
Just defend with everyone.
A one to zero advantage was enough for them to win.
As long as they keep this score, Leicester City will have the last laugh!
Yes, Pierre has already made plans.
Seeing this, Guardiola nodded slightly. This Pierre is still quite good. Leicester City really might win this game. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he looked at the TV screen.
Tong Yi's handsome face appeared, and he thought to himself, "How will you respond?"
To be honest, Tong Yi was not surprised at all by Pierre's reaction.
He had even considered it a long time ago.
Therefore, at this time, Tong Yi did not appear to be too flustered. On the surface, he was still very calm, and it was not clear whether there was any turmoil in his heart. However, he did get up at this time and came to the sidelines.
However, he didn't say much, he just made two changes in gestures.
Guardiola raised his eyebrows slightly. This guy Tong Yi had already made a plan?
If this is the case, Leicester City must be in danger.
Come on Leicester City people, don't let the Crystal Palace people seize the opportunity.
When the game restarted, Crystal Palace’s formation did not change much. It seemed that they had not made any adjustments. This surprised Leicester City fans. Is Crystal Palace resigned to its fate?
Then soon, they discovered something was wrong!
Crystal Palace has obviously strengthened its long-range shots from the outside, frequently threatening Leicester City's goal.
Ivory on the backline
Personally, I really can't defend well. Even if Gray comes back to help defend, he is still a bit stretched!
Guardiola raised his eyebrows when he saw this. He somewhat understood what Tong Yi was thinking.
This guy Tong Yi obviously wants to use more long-range shots to attract Leicester City's two central defenders Maguire and Mogan, so that they can take advantage of their strong frontal defense, and then leave a little space.
The opponent's penalty area leaves more space and space between Endidi, Maguire and Mogan.
This space is enough to be used by Tong Yi and Crystal Palace's attacking players!
Moreover, frequent long-range shots from the front of the penalty area subconsciously put the focus of Leicester City's defensive players on the center. Even the defensive players shrank to the center, and the openings on the two wings naturally slowly opened up.
.
At that time, the two wingers of Crystal Palace frequently attack and cross, and directly cross to find the open position between Endidi, Maguire and Mogan. That will be very dangerous!
You have to know that this guy Ronaldo is very powerful.
If you give him such an opportunity, you will simply give him a goal.
Guardiola raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this. This tactical routine is very threatening. The most important thing is that the Leicester City players retreated back. The number of people is not bad. But they are still a bit unable to intercept.
The Crystal Palace players took long shots from the front. This is the strength gap between the players.
This forces Leicester City to shrink its defense line in the middle, use more people to compress the space for the Crystal Palace people to hold the ball or take long shots at the front of the penalty area, and limit the Crystal Palace people's long range at the front of the penalty area to the greatest extent.
shoot.
Therefore, this gradually achieved Tong Yi's goal.
Next, Leicester City will be in danger.
Guardiola is a little worried. He feels that Leicester City is in danger. Crystal Palace will soon suddenly shift the attack to the wing, and then cross the ball to find C in the penalty area.
·Ronaldo’s.
If Leicester City has no plan, it will be dangerous.
Guardiola was a little nervous at this time.
However, what he didn't expect was that at this time, the Crystal Palace side actually launched an attack from the center again.
De Bruyne held the ball head-on, attracting Gray's defense. He immediately pretended to pass the ball horizontally, drawing Gray out to intercept the passing line. He dunked past Gray, and then quickly passed the ball.
The football passed through and was passed to Ronaldo who was advancing forward.
Maguire immediately moved forward and used his body to intercept Ronaldo.
Ivora also immediately chased after him!
And at this moment, Ronaldo knocked the football back with his heel, and the football rolled towards De Bruyne.
Without any hesitation, De Bruyne directly swung his leg and volleyed violently.
With a bang, De Bruyne hit the football hard with all his strength.
The football shot out quickly and flew towards the Leicester City penalty area.
Schmeichel, who was in front of the goal, spotted the ball and immediately flew out into the air!
With a bang, the football hit the jumping Mogan hard, and his body immediately changed direction and was refracted to the other side.
Schmeichel was so frightened in front of the goal that he immediately turned his head to look, and then the football slammed into their Leicester City goal.
One to one, in the 19th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace equalized the score.
The goal was scored by De Bruyne, a long shot from the front of the penalty area!
Guardiola in front of the TV was stunned!
The Crystal Palace side hadn't shifted their attack to the wings yet. They broke through Leicester City's goal directly in the middle and solved the problem with a long shot. It's unbelievable!
After all, the front of the Leicester City penalty area was full of people. Almost all the players came back to defend and gave De Bruyne such a comfortable long-range shot opportunity. Guardiola was really speechless!
Do you have a chance to defend against Crystal Palace with this kind of defense? How is that possible?
Originally, Guardiola felt that even if Crystal Palace's tactics were carried out according to Tong Yi's expectations, and the Leicester City people were caught off guard by suddenly moving a cross from the wing, he might not be able to get benefits and score a goal. After all,
Leicester City's two central defenders are also very capable in air defense. Although they have been transferred out, they may not be able to score goals?
Who would have known that Leicester City would collapse without even having to take that step.
This really disappoints Guardiola.
Originally, he thought that there was a high probability that Crystal Palace would not be able to break Leicester City's tactics in this game. Leicester City was very likely to win this game, but now it seems that he is overthinking it.
After the score is equalized, Leicester City will definitely attack again.
Although it is still a defensive counterattack, Vardy and Gray will obviously be positioned further forward than before. After all, only in this way can there be a chance to counterattack. Even if the defense retreats too deep, it will be difficult to counterattack.
What a chance.
Therefore, in the next period of time, Leicester City's defensive intensity will obviously decrease.
Especially frontal defense!
Then Mogan and Maguire may have to be frequently deployed to block the opponent's long-range shots or players holding the ball. If Crystal Palace suddenly crosses the ball from the wing, Leicester City may still have to recruit.
I can't stand it anymore.
Guardiola frowned, this really changed the situation of the game instantly.
To be honest, he is still bitter about the Leicester City team!
<
br> How could the opponent score so easily?
Of course, Guardiola himself knows very well that this is the strength gap between individual players. The players at Crystal Palace are indeed much better than those at Leicester City.
Therefore, there is no way. It is indeed very difficult for Leicester City people to defeat Crystal Palace.
In the next period of time, Leicester City is probably going to suffer.
Now it depends on whether the Leicester City people can withstand this wave. If they can withstand this wave, maybe Leicester City still has a chance. If they can't withstand this wave, Leicester City's game
I'm afraid I'm destined to lose.
However, at this time, Leicester City got a good opportunity.
Mahrez broke through with the ball on the wing and even passed Cancelo. Then he suddenly passed the football in an inverted triangle. It was passed to Gray, the second-line offensive promoter behind Vardy, who rushed up to meet the ball.
Foot blast.
With a bang, Kanter, who was sliding over, hit the football with Gray almost at the same time, and then the football immediately changed direction and bounced out.
Kanter successfully intercepted the football!
Beautiful, Kanter's defense is really timely and sharp!
Guardiola was a little envious when he saw this.
The football immediately bounced towards Casemiro, and Albrighton rushed towards Casemiro. Casemiro did not stop the ball and quickly sent the football forward with a quick kick!
The football flew quickly towards the frontcourt. Ronaldo in the frontcourt and Maguire who rushed out jumped at the same time to compete for the header.
With a bang, Ronaldo pushed Maguire's header and the ball shot quickly behind Maguire.
Leicester City's defensive players were shocked, it was dangerous!
Salah rushed forward quickly, like a stream of light.
This time, Ndidi's defense was slightly slower.
Of course, it cannot be said that Ndidi's defense was slower, but that Salah's movements were faster.
After all, after playing for such a long time, do you really think Salah and the others were restrained by Leicester City’s defensive tactics? Do you really think everything will be fine with Ndidi wiping their butts behind? Crystal Palace
It was just a matter of taking advantage of the situation and frequently testing Endidi's defense awareness and speed.
Then Salah and Mbappe just need to make adjustments and catch their opponents off guard.
No, Ndidi and the others thought that Salah and Mbappe were completely restricted. How could they know that they were playing tricks with them, testing and looking for opportunities. Now the Crystal Palace suddenly showed its sword, Ndidi
Di didn't react in time, and Salah, who caught up with the ball, took the lead and passed the ball, directly facing the goalkeeper.
Facing Schmelche, Salah immediately swung his legs and pretended to shoot a sudden cross to the back point. The unguarded Mbappe rushed up and pushed and shot into the empty goal!
