"What!" At this time, when he saw Li Yi, who should have gone away, suddenly turned around, Bishar, who was holding the ball, was really shocked and shocked!
Fortunately, even though he was surprised, Bichar was not stupid enough to just stand there and wait for Li Yi to take the ball away from his feet! Just a little dazed, Bichar made a decision quickly and in time!
However, quickness comes back to speed. After all, Bichar is a tall central defender. In terms of foot speed, he really can't compare with smaller players. In addition, Li Yi only ran a small distance at this time, and suddenly came back.
Looking back, the distance between the two of them was too close, leaving little time for Bishar to react!
Therefore, in a hurry, Bichar had no time to find the receiving team member. In order to prevent the ball from being intercepted by Li Yi, Bichar followed the principle of giving Crystal Palace a foul ball and hurriedly put his foot down.
The ball was kicked towards the wing!
"Huh!" Bishar breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had reacted in time, dodged Li Yi's legs and successfully cleared the ball!
However, just when Bishar had just exhaled a breath of turbid air from his lungs and had not had time to inhale fresh air, he instinctively raised his head and discovered to his shock that with his kick, he only escaped the first day of junior high school, not the fifteenth day.
In the end it was a mistake.
When Bishar raised his head, the ball that had been kicked toward the sideline in a panic by the former fell right at the feet of the Crystal Palace full-back Tom Soares who had inserted himself in the back row!
"I'm going to suffer!" He only had time to reflect this thought in his mind, and turned to look at his own defense. Because of his mistake, he was about to face a very unfavorable 2-on-2 situation. Bishar didn't have time to think too much, and he threw it away and was right next to him.
Li Yi, like a madman, rushed towards Tom who was holding the ball at the moment!
Seeing Bishar rushing towards Tom crazily, Coventry's other central defender Andy Marshall, who was slightly farther away, also ran towards him at full speed. He hesitated for a moment in his mind before stepping forward to meet Tom and reverse.
Between the two options of running and going to the middle of the penalty area to grab points, Li Yi firmly chose the latter!
After all, the cooperation between Li Yi and his teammates is still in the running-in stage. If he chooses to step forward, he may not only be unable to help, but also put Tom into the dilemma of being double-teamed by the opponent!
Already having an idea, Li Yi stopped hesitating and pretended to look up at Tom who was holding the ball. He immediately ignored whether Tom could deal with Bishar one-on-one and bypassed Andy Marshall who just ran in front of him.
Directly into the Coventry penalty area.
I have to say that Li Yi's choice is very wise! If he insists on seeking cooperation with Tom, Marshall has already thought about it. As long as he can be sure that he is not the last defender, he will give Tom even a yellow card.
Stop it!
But now Li Yi ran into the penalty area. In an instant, Marshall's good calculation became empty talk!
After Li Yi pulled away and moved to the middle, how dare Marshall continue to double-team Tom? If he continued to double-team, wouldn't Li Yi go it alone as soon as Tom passed the ball?
Therefore, after seeing Li Yi pass by him, despite being very depressed, Marshall quickly adjusted his focus and followed Li Yi away to the middle of the penalty area.
At this time, Li Yi made what seemed to be the right decision. Next, it was time for Tom to show his abilities!
So, can Tom successfully break through Bishar?
I believe that if Li Yi could hear Tom's voice now, he would definitely be very confident when he chooses to pull away!
By the way, as a white player from England, Tom's characteristics are that he has an accurate cross, his speed is pretty good, his basic passing and receiving skills are relatively solid, and he also has a good long shot!
But among all these characteristics, there is no breakthrough that Tom needs most at this moment!
In a one-on-one confrontation, Tom can also use some fake crosses to force the defenders not to press too hard, so as to find the space he needs to sprint. But at this time, Li Yi took the test
After Ventry's other defensive center back runs away, will Bichar still suffer from his fake pass?
Watching the distance between Tom and Bishar getting closer and closer, he knew that if he didn't take any action, he would miss a good opportunity. Tom, who had no choice but to stop and wait for support, could only
He knocked the ball towards the wing without making any fake moves at all. He was purely competing for speed with Bishar!
At the moment of charging forward, Bishar, who seemed crazy, but actually had already reserved room for change of direction, saw that Tom was really frightened by his previous momentum, and unwisely chose the wing, and he didn't care about being happy, so he quickly adjusted his focus
, just chase the former!
Bulky is only relative. Against Tom whose absolute speed is only good, Bichar is not at a big disadvantage in terms of speed. In addition, Tom has the ball at his feet at this time. Bichar makes reasonable use of the rules and keeps making small moves with his hands. It is true.
The situation is that after the two people start running, the gap between them is almost a millimeter.
Bishar was so close, let alone Tom's pass. As long as he didn't slack off for a moment, the ball at his feet could be intercepted by the former at any time!
He found that he was being pressured out of the penalty area by the opponent step by step. He was getting closer and closer to the baseline, but further and further away from the goal! Tom was a little annoyed to find that this good opportunity was probably going to be missed!
Seeing that he was about to miss the opportunity, Tom was already upset. At this moment, he had clearly been "pushed" out of the penalty area by the opponent. There was still no sign of restraint in the small movements of Bishar's hands! Immediately, Tom felt a little nervous.
With his head burning, he stretched out his right hand and pushed Bishar, whose chest was almost touching his arm!
To be honest, Tom, who has a hot head, this action is somewhere between a foul and a non-foul! I believe that if the referee blows the penalty, he himself cannot explain the reason.
However, as long as the referee doesn't blow the whistle on the field, the players will not stop. No, seeing what he did, he finally pushed Bishar away from him, revealing a gap for the cross. Don't tell Tom.
When the referee blows the whistle, even if he hears it, he still won't hesitate at all!
Before Bishar could move his arm between the two, Tom grabbed the middle of the ball with his left foot and swept it toward the penalty area!
As Tom passed the ball, the test was transferred directly from Tom's head to Li Yi!
Unfortunately, how should I put it? When Li Yi was running, he thought Tom had seen that compared with his opponent Marshall, he had a huge advantage in both height and size. Needless to say, as long as Tom sent a high ball, he would be ten thousand.
Li Yi can fight for any of them. Therefore, from the beginning, Li Yi simply does not use his own shortcomings to collide with the opponent, and fights for the front point. He wisely chooses the rear point and uses the front point unconditionally.
was given to the Marshalls!
Who would have known that at this moment, Tom didn't show any performance when passing people, and was almost intercepted. Not to mention, he was extremely cheating. He finally made the pass, but the passed ball was even more cheating and he chose a low ball!
Seeing the ball entering Marshall's control in front of him, Li Yi stopped helplessly and chose to give up.
However, just when Li Yi had already chosen to give up the opportunity and planned to run back, unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared on the court again.
Tom's cross may be very inappropriate in terms of angle because there is no time to observe it, but in terms of power, it is definitely enough!
This kind of flat and fast ground ball, if drawn into the middle of the penalty area, may lead to an own goal if not careful. Therefore, when it comes to the choice of footwork for clearance, Marshall focuses on stability and wants to block the ball directly from the bottom line.
Just give Crystal Palace a corner kick!
However, Marshall's seemingly safe way of handling the ball directly became the root of his mistake after the ball flew not far in front of him and the ground changed slightly!
When he discovered that the ball did not touch the arch of his foot as expected, but hit the shin guard, it was too late for Marshall to make any remedy!
Marshall's mistake is tantamount to a big gift for Li Yi!
Watching the ball contact Marshall's shin guard and leaking to his position, Li Yi unconsciously sighed that he was really lucky!
He took two steps forward without hesitation, and before the opponent's stunned goalkeeper who also didn't make any move, he flicked the ball, and Li Yi sent the ball into the empty goal in front of him!
Li Yi's first goal in his Crystal Palace career came so easily, which Li Yi never expected! However, unexpectedly, when he turned his head with some uncertainty, he found that the referee on duty made a goal.
After the ball was valid, Li Yi, who was in a good mood, walked around the back of the goal and ran towards Tom who assisted him!
…
They all said that they had to repay after all, but the Coventry players never expected that this retribution would come so quickly.
In the first half, they missed two goals from Crystal Palace and were lucky enough to score two goals, successfully bringing the suspense of the game to the present. Who would have thought that Lady Luck would patronize two teams at the same time in one game?
At this moment, the strength is not as good as that of Crystal Palace, and the luck seems to be gone. The momentum of the Coventry players on the court is immediately three points weaker!
When the enemy retreats, we advance! Firmly grasping this principle, Crystal Palace did not choose to be stable because of the low morale of Coventry. Not only was it unstable, but in the following period, it was to seize every opportunity to do it.
Beat Coventry to death!
Fortunately, Marshall's mistake did not affect the Coventry goalkeeper. In the subsequent games, he connected with high and low shots and saved most of Crystal Palace's shots. Otherwise, the final score would never have been just 5.
Than 2!
…
After a 5-2 victory that was not a complete victory, but at least a big win, Crystal Palace continued to consolidate its fourth position in the standings. Moreover, it continued to narrow the points gap between the previous three teams.
