()Chapter 147: Continuous Battles and Successful Victories
Reading, as a team that has been hovering in the middle and lower reaches of the standings in recent years. [c] This season, except for the first round, an away draw with the Red Devils and Manchester United gave Crystal Palace a lucky lead and currently ranks second in the standings.
Apart from 2 points, Manchester United did not do anything constructive. In the subsequent 4 rounds of the league, they decisively handed over a normal record of 1 win and 3 losses.
Currently, Reading has 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses after 5 rounds of the league, ranking third from the bottom in the standings. For such a team and such a recent state, to be honest, this game has not started yet. Regarding the outcome of the final game
The suspense has long since ceased to exist.
If there is any suspense, in the words of the outside world, there is only one suspense, and that is whether Li Yi, who has scored in 5 consecutive rounds, can continue his previous magic and launch an attack on the Premier League record of scoring in 7 consecutive rounds.
In the end, after a 90-minute fierce battle between the two teams, the speculations from the outside world were well confirmed.
Crystal Palace, which scored an overwhelming 3 goals in the first half and established the victory early, was able to replace Li Yi, the absolute core of the team, early in the second half. It really didn’t take much to see how easily Crystal Palace won this game.
Of course, in a league like the Premier League, breaking records is sometimes more important than the team winning the Premier League championship. If Friedman replaces Li Yi, it will definitely be when Li Yi opens the scoring for the team and opens the victory.
behind the door.
So far, after 6 rounds of league games, Crystal Palace has 5 wins and 1 draw, continuing to lead the Premier League. On the other hand, on the personal side, Li Yi also has a terrifying goal rate of 8 goals in 6 rounds, far away from Ronaldo, who ranks second in the table.
ball, monopolizing the title of she king.
Everything seems to indicate that Crystal Palace will really be able to make a big splash this season.
A week later, on September 22nd, Crystal Palace went to the away game to complete its seventh round of the game. In this round of the game, although Middlesbrough played at home, they paid enough attention to Crystal Palace and were targeted against the Crystal Palace Trident.
Some arrangements were made, but in the end, Crystal Palace still relied on Li Yi's lucky stunt to score the goal. The away game was 2-1, and they defeated the opponent without any danger and scored precious 3 points.
The team's record is so good, they have not lost a single game this season, and I currently have 9 goals, ranking first in the team's rankings. Logically, Li Yi should be happy.
However, after playing against Middlesbrough, everyone at Crystal Palace, especially Li Yi, was not happy at all.
As for the reason, it still has something to do with their pairing in the next round of the league.
Due to insufficient expectations for the strength of Crystal Palace, in order to take care of the strong teams during the season, Crystal Palace was treated as food rations and delivered to the mouths of the major powers in the Premier League.
This league has only played 7 rounds. Crystal Palace first faced Tottenham, then the Red Army and the Red Devils. Last season, the top four in the Premier League faced three, so forget it.
But in the 8th round of the league, Li Yilai, who already knew the record of scoring in 7 consecutive rounds, was extremely speechless!
This pairing came about by coincidence, it was not another team, it was the only one among the top four in the Premier League last season that Crystal Palace had not yet encountered - Arsenal!
This Arsenal is not an Arsenal that will sell its captain every year in the next few years, leaving itself vulnerable. Although this Arsenal just sent away its own gun king Henry in the summer, it still has Hleb in the team.
Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie, Adebayor, Toure and many more big-name stars. This is absolutely impossible for Crystal Palace, who aims to win consecutively, and Li Yilai, who continues to score goals and break that damn record.
It's not good news, so it's not surprising that the atmosphere in the team is a little tense.
"Hello everyone, hello everyone, today's home game between Arsenal and Crystal Palace will be explained by your old friend Mike Donnell.
Haha, wake up, the two sides fighting here are really interesting. Especially the Crystal Palace.
Before the start of this season, I believe that the FA officials who arranged the schedule for Crystal Palace would never have imagined that Crystal Palace, which faced strong opponents one after another, could still maintain its unbeaten status after 7 rounds and even draw.
Only one game, topping the standings
Going back to the game itself, if I were to predict this game before the season, I would choose Arsenal to win without hesitation.
However, at this moment, I rarely say this sentence.
It’s not that I think Arsenal are weak. Logically speaking, with 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, they have played well enough in the season. However, unfortunately, they are facing someone who is in better shape than them and can play incredible games.
What about Crystal Palace?
Don’t forget, Crystal Palace’s 6 wins include Tottenham and Liverpool, which are definitely not weaker than Arsenal.
Therefore, if fans insist on asking me to predict the outcome of this game, I will choose a tie between the two teams!
Okay, I see that the players from both sides are already in the tunnel preparing to enter. Let me first introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides.
In this game, Arsenal, playing at home, used a 4-4-4 formation.
Starting goalkeeper: No. 24 Almunia.
4 defenders: No. 22 Gar Collinci, No. 3 B Sagna, No. 6 Felipe Senderos, and No. 5 Cloo Toure.
Well, in this game, apart from the battle between the two teams for the top spot, there is actually another bigger point to watch.
The highlight is that in the previous 7 rounds of the league, Lee has scored goals in 7 consecutive rounds.
As long as he can break Almunia's ten-finger barrier in this game, then Lee will own this record alone. Instead of sharing the record with many people like now.
So, will Arsenal let Lee break the record held by their former gun king Henry?
This is really a very interesting thing, isn't it?
Okay, the game has started, please direct the screen to the game field."
At the scene, as Mike Donnell explained, the game has begun.
In this game, when Crystal Palace was still planning to play defensive counterattack against Arsenal as they did against Manchester United and Liverpool, no one could have imagined that Arsenal would take the lead in less than 2 minutes of the game.
The gate of Crystal Palace took the lead in the score.
At that time, it was Adebayor who got the ball in the middle of the penalty area, near the top of the fox. As a result, in order to prevent Adebayor from turning around, Balzaretti was not careful in his movements, and accidentally tripped Adebayor to the ground.
.
For such an obvious foul, the referee, the famous Premier League whistle Webb, did not hesitate to give Arsenal a free kick in a very good position.
General, on the free kick that can be kicked with either left or right foot in the middle of the penalty area, Van Persie and Walcott played a cover. In the end, General used his golden left foot to accurately penetrate the wall and score the goal.
The ball was sent into the dead center of the goal.
We fell behind 0-1 at the beginning. It seemed like a very disappointing thing.
However, Crystal Palace, which has played so many rounds in the Premier League now and has fallen behind more than once, behaved very calmly this time.
There was no need for Friedman to waste any more words on the sidelines. Playing away from home, they paid no attention to the score on the field and started fighting step by step according to the routine they had prepared before the game.
