Well, Lopez, who has rarely practiced hand-throwing the ball in daily life, and has almost never shown off his skills in this aspect in actual battles, can really throw the ball across half the court with his hands, and accurately send it to the high-speed forward attacker.
At Bale's feet?
What's more important is that the word "quick" is important for a quick counterattack! Lopez's hand-thrown ball, or whatever, just throwing it accurately is not enough, it is a must. You must also calculate the advance amount and throw it to Bell.
Before, this is considered a success.
Otherwise, if Bell needs to stop or even turn around to receive Lopez's pass, and the Chelsea defenders react, everything will be lost!
Under such harsh circumstances, can Lopez still succeed?
His eyes followed the ball that was thrown vigorously by Lopez, spanning half of the court, flying directly over the center line, and after bouncing on the ground once, it landed right in front of Bell, who was running at high speed without slowing down at all. The situation was unfavorable.
Friedman was dancing on the sidelines and was excited!
"Go in! Go in!" Looking at Bell who quickly picked up the ball and continued to advance, Friedman prayed in his heart! At the same time, Friedman's hands were not idle, and he clenched his hands.
They stuck together tightly, and their heads moved slowly as Bell ran.
It's time to ask again. In this game, we rarely get an excellent counterattack opportunity. Can Bell seize it?
Even after Lopez had definitely used his actions to interpret the word "I can", Bale was not willing to succumb to others and set an example.
He completely ignored the Chelsea right back Bridge who found himself with the ball and came to cover from the center. Bell was like a wild horse, unstoppable on the wing! In particular, in this situation, Bell was always in control from the beginning to the end.
, I never thought about cutting in, and the speed would not slow down at all.
With an advantage of almost 10 meters, he led Bridge to the left corner of the Chelsea penalty area. Bell first looked up and observed the current situation in the middle of the penalty area. Then, this was the first time since he started dribbling the ball.
This time I slowed down my speed a little.
However, just when the three players on Chelsea's current defense, including substitute goalkeeper Cudisini, instinctively thought that Bale was waiting for Crystal Palace players in the back row to take over, and thus felt a little relieved, they did not think about a problem.
Currently, Bell is several meters ahead of Bridge and has entered the penalty area. If there is really no support player in the middle, can't Bell cut inside?
You know, Bridge is currently completely left behind by Bell. In this case, Bell slipped in front of him, and Bridge could not make any effective defense. Except for a red card and a penalty kick, come
Bridge himself could not think of any other effective way to stop Crystal Palace's attack.
So, Bale, who is definitely a smart man on the court, would he really make such a mistake?
No, absolutely impossible!
After Bell slowed down a little, he stretched out his left foot, seemingly trying to stop the ball that was slightly away from his body. Unexpectedly, his left foot went to the ball.
Not far away, Bell's calf suddenly shook, and then the ball flew directly towards the center of the penalty area!
"Pass the ball?" By the time several players on Chelsea's defense reacted after the ball flew out of Bell's control and reached the center of the penalty area, it was already much too late!
In the end, all they could do was watch Li Yi, who was in hot form this season, score this, which was regarded as Li Yi's easiest goal this season.
Facing Cudisini, who was still at the goal post in order to block the near corner, Li Yi really and effortlessly pushed the ball into the mostly empty goal in front of him.
It was undoubtedly a happy thing to score a goal and open the scoring for the team. However, when Bell, who sent an assist for Li Yi, ran to Li Yi and planned to celebrate with him, Bell was a little bit confused.
It was strange to find that there was something wrong with Li Yi's expression after scoring the goal!
"What's wrong?" Bell couldn't explain. However, seeing Li Yi's expression, a word popped up in Bell's mind involuntarily: "Is this Li Yi constipated?"
Okay, is it possible that Li Yi was constipated on the court? Impossible! So, why did Li Yi's expression look wrong after scoring a goal?
Thinking about the prompt that triggered the stunt of "The Final Word" when he was shooting before, the only thing Li Yi wanted to say was - what a cheat!
"goooooooooooooooooooooooal, lee! Lee, it's Lee again. The game lasted only more than 20 minutes, and it was Lee who helped Crystal Palace lead the score on the field! I don't have to say, Lee's state is really amazing!
Haha, maybe some people will say that I am a Lee fan. The ball just now has nothing to do with Lee. All the credit must be placed on Gareth who passed the ball for him!
So, I want to ask these people a question!
Just now, Gareth never stopped for a moment while running! Even if he stopped at the end, he passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area almost instantly! In terms of speed, I can't say he surpassed him, but at least he was on par with him.
Bell, whose absolute speed tops the Premier League, is this something an ordinary center can do?
In addition, don’t forget, except for Bridge who was responsible for chasing Gareth, Chelsea’s defensive players this time had two players in front of Lee! After Bell passed the ball, they were able to get rid of it in time.
Defensive players, and grab the first point without going offside, is this something that any center can do?
Okay, that’s all I have to say! In fact, many people will say that today’s centers have almost no characteristics. Apart from missing penalty kicks in front of the goal, they have no other abilities! Here, I just want to represent
A reply to those overlooked centers!
Dear fans, when you say this, please think carefully about why those centers you ridiculed were able to pick up holes at the right time and in the right position at that time."
The game lasted for 20 minutes. I dare not say anything else about the scene. A small advantage is a must. More importantly, less than 1 minute before conceding the goal, Chelsea just missed the closest thing in the game.
A chance to score, Drogba put the ball on the crossbar!
Well, now, before they could get over the regret of missing a goal, the team actually conceded a goal first!
Under this situation, no one would believe them if they said their morale was not affected at all!
Therefore, it is natural that after scoring a goal and completely boosting morale, in the rest of the first half, Crystal Palace turned against the visitors and took back the initiative from Chelsea!
And maybe it's because they haven't gotten over the shadow of the previous goal, or maybe they were fooled by the crazy continuous attack after Crystal Palace scored. Of course, it's also possible that Chelsea watched Crystal Palace's attack and deliberately recycled it in an attempt to beat the opponent's counterattack.
In short, Chelsea did not pass the ball for 10 minutes after the Crystal Palace goal. They sent the ball across their own half and were beaten by Crystal Palace. That was a tragedy!
Crystal Palace attack.
The previous one was a relatively successful breakthrough from the wing, but the cross was headed out of the penalty area by Terry. Then Chelsea had Joe Cole to clear the ball with his big foot. Crystal Palace had to reorganize the attack from near the midfield.
After receiving the ball from Pique, he first briefly scanned the positions of the players on both sides of the frontcourt. Chelsea completely gave up on the midfield during this period and did not fight for it. Modric took the ball and took his time.
