Toot!
The referee blew the whistle and the game officially started.
The first team to kick off was the home team Southampton. They tried to attack, but soon they found that it was difficult for them to survive the midfield. Because the Crystal Palace's high pressure was really too fierce, and Southampton's players were very
Hard to resist.
Even Southampton's players are still a little uncomfortable with it.
Seeing this, Pochettino raised his eyebrows.
Oh my God, neither Crystal Palace nor Tong Yi underestimated us?
What Pochettino saw was full of attention.
He immediately turned to look at Tong Yi, wondering, why do you want to study our Southampton in such detail?
Am I, Southampton, your biggest enemy?
What is it about us in Southampton that deserves your attention?
Tong Yi really doesn't dare to underestimate this team.
The players on this team are all very capable, and they still have unlimited potential.
There are many people here who are players for future giants.
Tong Yi is not one to be underestimated.
Look at his two full-backs. They are now relatively well-known rising stars in England and have high hopes from English fans. They are also performing relatively well in Southampton and must be taken seriously.
At this moment, Kanter suddenly broke the football at the foot of midfielder Schneiderlin.
Schneiderlin is also very good, a future French international and a player who has joined Manchester United.
At his peak, his ability was still very good and he was considered one of the top defensive midfielders in the Premier League.
Now his ability is actually quite good. If Tong Yi remembers correctly, Schneiderlin will be selected for the French national team next year, and in 2015 he will be transferred to Manchester United for an additional fee of 25 million pounds.
Tong Yi must pay attention to it.
After stealing the ball, Kanter passed the football directly to Pogba in front.
As soon as Pogba received the ball, Southampton's Kenyan international Wanyama immediately stuck to Pogba's side and almost knocked Pogba over.
This Vaniya horse is also very powerful, tall and strong, and looks like an animal's waist.
This guy is very good at intercepting and pressing in the midfield. Tong Yi used to admire this guy very much. He planned to introduce this defensive midfielder, but this summer Southampton shot faster, directly costing 12.5 million with one kick.
The pound price introduced him.
Tong Yi was a little late.
Pogba stumbled and almost lost the ball.
Fortunately, Pogba reacted quickly enough and quickly swept the football diagonally across the wing with a diagonal kick.
Salah caught the football on the wing and immediately cut inside with the ball.
Southampton's right back Klein was directly in front of Salah. Klein is very fast and has good defense, but his characteristic is his strong assist ability.
Facing Salah,
Klein blocked the inward line, preventing Salah from passing through.
Tong Yi's eyes were fixed on Klein on the court.
This little guy comes from the Crystal Palace youth training. He is another talent that has emerged from the Crystal Palace youth training. Next year, he will be selected for the England national team together with Adam Lallana.
To be honest, Tong Yi also likes this guy very much.
However, there was no way, Tong Yi took over the Crystal Palace team a little late.
Before he took over Crystal Palace last year, Parish's team sold this guy to Southampton.
Tong Yi missed Klein.
What a pity.
If Tong Yi and the others had taken over Crystal Palace earlier, he would not have sold Klein.
This guy is considered a relatively good right back.
Facing Salah, he blocked the inward cut line. Salah tried to break through continuously but failed. Then Salah suddenly passed the football back, and Robertson, who followed him, made a pass without stopping the ball.
, the football roared into Southampton's penalty area.
In the penalty area, Lukaku quickly moved forward, jumped high and headed towards the goal.
With a bang, the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Southampton's center back Lovren, and the clearance was successful.
Dejan Lovren, the Croatian international, transferred to Southampton this summer for 8.5 million pounds. He is now at his peak. He performed very well this season and was directly valued by the Red Army Liverpool.
He will be transferred to Liverpool directly for 20 million pounds before the start of next season, becoming the most expensive central defender in the history of Liverpool Club.
Therefore, Lovren is very strong at this stage.
Southampton's victory over Liverpool in the previous round was achieved with Lovren's goal.
At this stage, Lovren is really good at attacking and defending.
And this is Lovren who is not seriously injured. He is now in very good physical condition and his speed is not slow. In later generations, Lovren gave people the impression of being slow and turning slowly because he was later seriously injured. But now he is very
It's strong and not slow either.
No wonder Liverpool is interested in him and is willing to pay 20 million pounds for him.
This guy is worth it.
This guy Lovren actually took the top spot in the competition with Lukaku, which surprised the Crystal Palace coaching staff. They all turned to look at Tong Yi, their eyes full of shock.
They really didn't expect Tong Yi to be so accurate.
No wonder Tong Yi would remind Crystal Palace's offensive players before the game to pay attention to the opponent's Lovren. This central defender is indeed very unique and very capable.
Of course, Southampton
This entire line of defense is actually pretty good.
Jose Fonte, who partnered with Lovren, also performed very well, and the partnership between the two seemed perfect.
This Wundt was also a player of Crystal Palace. He played for Crystal Palace from 2007 to 2010. Later, he was bought out by Southampton for 1.2 million pounds. After coming to Southampton, he grew very fast.
Now he has become Southampton's absolute main force.
And next year, he will be selected for the Portuguese national team.
Really, Pochettino is really good. After he accepted Southampton, Southampton has produced a large number of international players, and they are still very young international players. Pochettino is really good at discovering and
When it comes to cultivating young players, we are also willing to give them opportunities.
Media reporters in England all feel that Pochettino is a bit similar to Tong Yi. Pochettino really looks a bit like Little Tong Yi. Some media reporters even call Pochettino "Little Tong Yi".
This naturally made Pochettino very unhappy.
I am not second to anyone, I am Pochettino!
In this game, Pochettino was also holding back his energy, just to defeat Tong Yi and let everyone in England know that Pochettino is better than Tong Yi, and he is not the second best to Tong Yi.
Tong Yi is Pochettino’s second best!
Pochettino roared crazily on the sidelines, reminding the players on the court to attack like crazy and win the damn Crystal Palace.
With a bang, midfielder Schneiderlin made a diagonal pass and quickly passed the football to Davis on the wing.
After the Northern Ireland international received the ball, he made a direct pass from the wing without any thought at all.
With a bang, the football drew an arc and headed directly towards Richie Lambert, the high point in the penalty area!
Lambert is Southampton's first center forward. This guy was once a killer in the lower leagues. After coming to Southampton in 2009, he showed his true qualities as a killer. In his first season, he scored in the English League One.
30 goals, and 21 goals in the second season in English League One, helping Southampton advance to the English Championship.
In the 2011-2012 season, he scored 27 goals in the British Championship to help the team upgrade to the Premier League. After coming to the Premier League, he also scored 15 goals. This allowed Lambert to be successfully selected for the England national team when he was 31 years old.
, became the backup center for the England national team.
So far this season, Lambert has scored 3 goals and performed very well.
Moreover, Tong Yi also knows that after the end of this season, Lambert will also be valued by Liverpool and will be taken away by Liverpool for 4 million pounds.
This guy is quite powerful, and Tong Yi also asked the Crystal Palace defensive players to step up their defense against this guy.
No, Laporte and Van Dijk directly flanked this guy in the middle.
> Lambert's height is only 188cm, which is not particularly tall, but he is very strong and has a very strong impact.
When he rushed forward, Laporte and Van Dijk were both frustrated and almost made mistakes.
With a bang, Van Dijk pushed out of the penalty area with difficulty, and he was so handsome that he was in the penalty area.
With a bang, Italian international Osvaldo followed up and kicked his leg with a heavy kick.
The football roared out, and the Crystal Palace fans who came from afar were so scared that they closed their eyes. It was dangerous!
Osvaldo's long-range shot was of really high quality. Pochettino on the sidelines jumped up excitedly and roared excitedly, "Yes!"
At the same time, he secretly said in his heart that the 17.1 million pounds was really worth it.
Osvaldo is the new Italian international that Pochettino spent this summer to bring in from Roma for 15.1 million pounds plus 2 million pounds of floating clauses. Pochettino has high hopes for him, after all, Osvaldo plays for Roma.
After two consecutive seasons, he scored 12 goals in the first season and 18 goals last season. He is very capable.
Able to score 18 goals in a single season in Serie A, Pochettino feels that Osvaldo can definitely become a sharp knife for Southampton.
Isn’t this coming now?
With the sound of the ball breaking through the air, the ball shot towards the Crystal Palace goal. The Southampton fans cheered excitedly. The ball was there.
When he saw the football about to fly into the goal, a pair of hands stood in front of the goal.
With a snap, the football hit these hands directly and bounced off the baseline.
"Beautiful save! Edouard Mendy was very focused and reacted very quickly. The save was wonderful and perfect!" Mortensen roared excitedly, his heart extremely hot.
Tong Yi on the sidelines was shocked. This ball was really too dangerous.
Tong Yi didn't say anything here. Kanter immediately raised his hand in the stadium and said that the ball was his responsibility and that he was a little late to defend. This position should be for him to stand, and he would not give it to Olympus.
Svaldo had such an opportunity. This was his problem. He told Tong Yi that he would never have such a problem again next time.
Tong Yi nodded slightly, very satisfied.
Corner kick, Southampton got a corner kick opportunity.
Southampton's two tall central defenders both rushed into the Crystal Palace penalty area. Now Crystal Palace's defensive pressure increased sharply.
At this moment, Lallana drove the football directly into the penalty area of Crystal Palace with a curved kick and flew straight to the back post.
Lovren, who was in the back position, jumped up first, directly overwhelmed Pogba, and slammed the football into the Crystal Palace goal.
The ball was moving very fast. Edward jumped out and hit the football, but he still couldn't stop it from flying into the goal.
The ball went in, one to zero!
