De Bruyne seized the gap between the center back and the midfielder after Mascherano left the center and went to the wing.
Ignacio in the penalty area used his body to support Pique behind him, stopped the ball with his chest and stopped the high ball sent by Mane from the wing, and quickly sent it to the top of the arc in the penalty area.
De Bruyne, who came up from behind, got rid of Busquets and hit the ball with a blast!
Ter Stegen, a disciple that Tong Yi once relied on, did not touch the football, and the football quickly flew into the lower right corner of the goal.
The ball speed is too fast!
There is no way.
Enrique on the sidelines jumped anxiously when he saw this.
He has realized the problem. In the past, Mascherano has been in this position for a long time. It is impossible for De Bruyne to catch the ball so easily in this position, let alone shoot. Don't even think about it.
.
But there is nothing we can do today.
Mascherano was pushed to the wing.
But if Mascherano is not allowed to go to the wing, Mathieu will be blown away. If Mascherano can quickly rush over to fill Mathieu's side, his deep space will be exposed.
Come on, this guy De Bruyne is really quick to break in, and there are also full-backs Carvajal, Salah and others, who are hard to guard against.
Even Casemiro and Kanter will press forward.
This is how Crystal Palace's high-position pressing tactics work, with so many people in the frontcourt!
Enrique knows that this is his own problem, and he should not let Mathieu play in this game!
But if Mathieu is not allowed, can Pique alone be able to withstand Ignacio?
Although Ignacio is very young, this guy is super strong and has very strong confrontation ability. Can Pique withstand it? And this guy is very tall, close to 200, which is a head taller than Pique.
more than.
What's even more frightening is that this guy is not slow, has strong explosive power, and has excellent jumping ability.
This is simply not the way for Pique to live!
Can one Pique withstand it?
This is also the reason why he let Mathieu play, just to enhance his defense and control capabilities. And as a last resort, Mathieu and Pique can carry Ignacio.
Unexpectedly, before it was Mathieu's turn to play his role here, he was beaten by the Crystal Palace people.
Even Ignacio hasn't exerted any force yet.
Enrique shook his head slightly, bit his lips, and then turned to look at Tong Yi on the sidelines.
Today, he was targeted to death by Tong Yi from Crystal Palace.
It seems that Tong Yi knows the situation in Barcelona very well and has carefully calculated the changes in their team after Neymar was injured. He even thought of using Mathieu instead of Sergi Roberto and
Adriano, awesome, really awesome.
Seriously, if it's not in an official game If so, he would give Tong Yi a thumbs up.
This is really awesome.
On the contrary, Enrique was a little overconfident. He did not understand the players of Crystal Palace in detail. If he understood it carefully, he would definitely catch clues and judge that this game will not be directed by Campbell.
Instead, Tong Yi took command.
It was because he thought that the coach of the Crystal Palace game would be Campbell, so he was a little relaxed.
No, this guy Tong Yi got caught.
Campbell, who was sitting on the coaching bench of Crystal Palace, stared at Tong Yi with eyes filled with admiration!
He really didn't expect that everything would be exactly as Tong Yi guessed before the game.
This game was completely controlled by Tong Yi!
And now that the game has started, Messi and Suarez in Barcelona's frontcourt haven't even gotten any decent opportunities.
so amazing!
Campbell didn't expect that Neymar's injury would have such a big impact on Barcelona?
Their boss is really awesome.
Beckham also stared at Tong Yi with sharp eyes. At this time, he finally understood why Ferguson tried his best to recommend him to be Tong Yi's assistant.
This Chinese guy is really something!
sharp!
Tong Yi turned to look at Enrique at this time and said secretly in his heart, "How will you adjust now? Will you replace Mathieu?"
In this game, Barcelona’s bench also includes Adriano on the left and Roberto, who is balanced with both feet and can move both left and right. They can both take Mathieu’s place!
Not to mention Adriano, he is a bipedal monster who mainly played left back after his debut.
And before he was injured, he had always been Barcelona's first choice at left back. Unfortunately, he was injured many times and gradually faded out of Barcelona's main lineup. He was a very important part of the bench.
Roberto is a talented young man who came out of Barcelona's youth training, and he is a rare panacea for Barcelona!
He has a balanced left and right foot and has played every position except goalkeeper and center forward.
He mainly plays right back, but he also plays well at left back.
Therefore, although these two are not the kind of full-backs with the ultimate speed, their speed is not slow, at least much better than Mathieu. Moreover, these two people can turn around flexibly and defend frontally well. If they go up, they will be against them.
On Salahmane they are more useful than Mathieu.
However, if Mathieu goes down, Barcelona's air defense will have a big problem again.
Again, can Pique withstand Ignacio in aerial defense?
Of course, Enrique put Mathieu in the starting lineup
Just to let him defend against the air.
Therefore, Tong Yi stared closely at Enrique. He wanted to see what choice Enrique would make? Will he really replace Mathieu?
At this moment, Barcelona launched a very threatening attack.
Even under the tight and high-intensity pressure of Crystal Palace, Barcelona's midfielder still saw the football being passed, and then Rakitic sent a precise through ball in a flash, and the football rolled to Suarez.
in front of you.
Rakitic was really powerful this time. If he had played the ball a little slower, Casemiro would have stopped him.
In such a hasty situation, under such strong pressure, and in such a small space, Rakitic actually accurately sent the football in front of Suarez.
Suarez, who was holding up his back, did not stop the ball, but quickly passed the ball to Messi who was following from the wing.
After passing the ball, Suarez immediately turned around and moved forward.
Messi added a through ball, suddenly moved sideways, took two diagonal steps towards the center, and then suddenly took a shot.
The football drew a wonderful arc, spinning straight into the far upper corner of the goal.
The Barcelona fans at the scene screamed with excitement.
Then, the football was lifted into the air by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Alisson and lifted the bottom line.
Messi's shot was very threatening. Unfortunately, Alisson reacted very quickly. He anticipated that Messi would shoot like this and moved ahead of time, so he knocked down the football.
Bang bang bang bang!
Tong Yi immediately applauded and gave the applause to Alisson!
Sure enough, Barcelona is well-deserved, and no team can completely defend Barcelona.
Barcelona's ability to pass the ball quickly is really strong. There is no way around it, it's hard to get stuck!
However, Tong Yi is very satisfied with the current performance of the Crystal Palace players. After all, they have been very successful in limiting the Barcelona people to this level, and they have done a very good job.
If they continue to play like this, Crystal Palace will have a chance to win the game.
Then, Tong Yi also turned to look at Enrique. He was wondering whether you would replace Mathieu?
Although Ignacio's height is 200cm, and his jumping is also very good, if he is always followed by two 192cm old guys with rich experience, Ignacio will still be restricted to some extent.
So, to be honest, Tong Yi really hopes Enrique can replace Mathieu.
However, at this time, Enrique seems to have no intention of replacing someone?
Suddenly, Tong Yi's eyes lit up!
It seems that I am worried, this guy Enrique seems to be replaced.
Because, he has seen Roberto and Arthur on the bench of Barcelona Adriana has gone to warm up. It seems that Mathieu won't be able to stay on the court for long!
Corner kick, Barcelona won a corner kick!
Rakitic drove the football directly into the Crystal Palace penalty area with an arc. Pique, who was in the back of the penalty area, jumped up high and was about to hit the football hard. But at this moment, Van Dijk took the lead.
He pushed the football out and it immediately flew out of the penalty area.
Here, before Enrique had time to call for defense, with a bang, the football was passed by Kante at the front of the penalty area and passed directly to the feet of Salah on both sides.
Salah immediately ran with the ball at high speed and rushed directly towards Alves!
This guy Alves didn't rush forward rashly. Secondly, he fought and retreated, not allowing Salah to get rid of him easily, and directly entered the penalty area to face the goalkeeper.
But at this moment, Salah suddenly took a long diagonal pass and passed the football directly to the other side.
On the other side, Mane rushed up quickly, stopped the ball with his chest, and quickly dribbled the ball forward.
Seeing this, Barcelona fans took a breath!
Crystal Palace's counterattack was too fast. These two wingers were simply unbearable.
Mane immediately ran forward with the ball. He ignored Mascherano in front of him and seemed to be passing the football back to Salah who was advancing. Are these two trying to fly a kite?
Mascherano frowned slightly and was ready to foul directly.
These two guys are very powerful, very fast, and have great ability to push the ball. Even Mascherano is not confident that he can defend these two guys. Fouling at this time is actually very cost-effective, even if
It's worth getting a yellow card.
But just as Mascherano was thinking, Mane suddenly passed the ball back in an inverted triangle.
Mascherano immediately looked over and saw De Bruyne rushing in from behind.
Mascherano frowned slightly, a little dangerously.
At this moment, Mane, who was passing the ball, suddenly accelerated forward and rushed past him.
Mascherano secretly thought of danger, and at this moment, with a whoosh, the football was kicked out by De Bruyne. The football quickly flew past him and flew behind him.
Mascherano immediately turned around and raised his right hand, indicating that Mane was offside.
But neither the referee nor the linesman said anything.
When he turned around, he realized that Alves had been pushed deeply by Salah, and the ball was not offside at all. Mascherano closed his eyes in despair for a moment. This was really killing him.
Damn it!
Just now, Mascherano had secretly signaled Alves for offside. Why was he so defensive?
Just when Mascherano was confused, Mane caught up with the football and entered the penalty area. Facing Ter Stegen's attack, Mane easily pushed the ball into the far corner and succeeded, 2-0!
