105: The pressure is on the magical four blind people
A goal was scored just after the game started. Crystal Palace simply entered the game with a one-goal advantage.
Manchester City fans are stunned.
How can it be?
All Manchester City fans stared closely at Mbappe in the stadium, their eyes full of shock.
This little guy is not only fast, but also has good ball and man combination. More importantly, his shooting skills while traveling at high speed are also very superb. ??
Mbappe's shot seems to be very casual, but in fact he is very confident in his shooting skills.
It can be seen that this is not the first time he has done this.
This guy is a genius!
To be honest, the fans of Manchester City are speechless. Which media reporters from the outside world really dare to talk nonsense. Such a talented player has been sprayed all over by them before. What the hell are you?
Vision?
Harm others and yourself!
Manchester City fans hate these damn media reporters, especially Delvestri.
You can't believe what the media says.
They fell into a passive position at the beginning, which can be said to be the worst start for Manchester City. But Guardiola and his coaching staff were not panicked at all. They had expected such a scene. After all, they felt
Crystal Palace is strong, they don't just talk about it, they really think so.
Therefore, at this time, they were not chaotic, but very calm.
Even the Manchester City players on the court were very calm, as if they had not seen the conceded goal. They were still playing according to the previous game rhythm and were playing.
This is the style of a strong man!
The Manchester City fans also stabilized after the initial panic.
On the court, they played very reasonably.
Tong Yi nodded slightly. Sure enough, this is the Manchester City team he is familiar with. Manchester City are not just cats and dogs, they are still very strong.
No, on the pitch, Manchester City's offense is coming.
However, this is Guardiola's least favorite offensive method, but it is very effective.
After Yaya Toure received the pass from Fernandinho in the midfield, he immediately advanced with the ball at high speed, breaking through De Bruyne and Kante in the midfield, and then Casemiro pounced on him
Previously, he swung his legs and volleyed heavily from the edge of the penalty area.
This makes the Manchester City fans extremely excited!
Because they had often seen Toure's offensive methods before, and their blood boiled every time they saw it.
And they have great trust in Toure's long-range shooting ability, and this ball is there!
The football roared out, like a cannonball, shooting towards the upper right corner of the goal, full of threats!
The ball is there!
Snapped!
Just when the football was about to fly into the goal, Maignan rushed over in front of the goal. He jumped into the air and slapped the football out of the baseline with one palm! r> Hiss!
The Manchester City fans at the scene were in disbelief. Is this okay?
Isn't this ball a blind spot?
Manchester City fans actually thought that this goal would definitely be scored. How could this happen?
Guardiola and his assistant Torrent on the sidelines also looked at each other in disbelief. They thought that since Alisson was missing from the Crystal Palace in this game, the goal would be easy to break. Little did they know that this Maignan seems to have something.
?
After all, everyone is a knowledgeable person, and once an expert makes a move, he or she will lose it.
With Maignan's reaction speed, his choice of timing to save, and his judgment of the ball path... he is definitely not a mediocre player.
hiss!
It seems that this game is more difficult than we expected.
In fact, Guardiola also saw information about Maignan in Estiarte's intelligence information. Although this guy had not had many game opportunities in Crystal Palace before, his performance in the limited opportunities was
It's still good. Estiarte reminded them, but unfortunately they still didn't pay attention to it.
After all, Guardiola still doesn’t quite believe that Tong Yi’s vision is really that great? There won’t be a single example of failure?
He also feels that Maignan is allowed to have two brushes, but they are not all like Alisson, De Gea and Mendy, right? Therefore, he still despises Maignan a little. Now it seems that he
is wrong.
Yaya Toure in front of the goal couldn't help but turn around and glance at Maignan. He was also very surprised.
After just completing the shot, he had already run out and was ready to celebrate the goal. He believed that the goal would definitely be scored. Even Alisson might not be able to save the goal, but the goal was unexpectedly missed by this unknown man.
The guy jumped on him and he was shocked.
Toure glanced at this guy a few more times, then turned and left.
Corner kick, Manchester City got a chance for a corner kick!
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene gave Maignan applause, and Maignan also surprised them. It seems that their Crystal Palace has no shortcomings today, and their Crystal Palace will definitely win this game!
Goretzka went to the corner kick area, and it seemed that he was going to take the corner kick.
The Manchester City fans were excited and they were full of expectations for this goal.
The restricted area of the Crystal Palace was crowded with people.
At this moment, Goretzka quickly passed the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area with a curved kick. Kompany in the middle of the penalty area jumped up high and shook his head to attack the goal. The football flew directly off the crossbar at the far end.
Bottom line.
Crystal Palace escaped disaster.
Manchester City fans all felt very sorry. This was a good opportunity. If the height had been lower, the goal would have definitely been scored.
crystal palace
The team started to attack positionally. After continuous passes, De Bruyne sent a precise diagonal ball, stuffing the football into the ribs of Manchester City's penalty area. Salah, who diagonally inserted in, directly swung his legs to grab the shot. The football
Directly off the bottom line.
Guardiola frowned on the sidelines. Crystal Palace's offense is indeed very good, especially with De Bruyne. This guy is always able to comfortably pass the football to dangerous positions and create opportunities for his teammates.
Chance, this is a midfield master!
To be honest, in his opinion, De Bruyne is better than Goretzka.
Guardiola is a little tempted and wants to bring De Bruyne down to Manchester City. ??
Here the Manchester City team immediately launched an attack. Goretzka and Toure took turns as the core of the offense to organize the attack. They moved back and forth one after another, which still caused a lot of trouble for the Crystal Palace players.
At this moment, Toure passed the football diagonally to the wing in a relatively subtle way.
Sterling, who advanced from the wing, directly broke through with the ball and entered the Crystal Palace penalty area.
Manchester City brought in Sterling to do this job, which is to use his personal ability to break through crazily on the wing. Sterling is the player with the strongest personal breakthrough ability in the Premier League at this stage.
The player with the most individual breakthroughs in a single season.
When the ball reaches his feet, it allows him to break through.
The defensive players of Crystal Palace also know this, but they really tried their best and tried their best, but they still couldn't prevent Sterling's breakthrough. This is where Sterling is so good.
However, Sterling's breakthrough was very beautiful and exciting. In a very small space, this guy actually completed a crotch pass and entered the Crystal Palace penalty area. Then he made another spin towards Marseille outside the penalty area, directly
Dodged Van Dijk's defense and got out of the way.
Aguero in the middle.
He immediately raised his hand and signaled Sterling to cross over, and the ball was there.
But Sterling, who was in high spirits, ignored Aguero at all. This was not because he pretended not to see it, but because he saw it clearly and ignored it.
Who cares, just be happy and that’s it!
Happiness is our highest pursuit!
Happiness is the true meaning of football!
After Marseille spun around, Sterling aimed at the space and then fired a nasty shot!
It stinks, not smokes!
Because Sterling's shot was indeed so stinky, he actually hit the football into the stands and had an intimate interaction with the fans in the stands!
You have to know that this was a close-range heavy shot near the penalty area line.
This guy can shoot a football high - incredible!
The ball almost hit the goal frame, but it was much easier than knocking it away. But this guy actually hit the ball away.
All the Manchester City players don't know what to say?
Aguero is Very angry, very angry!
His position in the center is already empty, and Rudiger is being held tightly behind him. As long as Sterling passes the football, the goal will undoubtedly be scored!
But Sterling ignored him and chose happiness!
Aguero was really dissatisfied and speechless.
Sterling, on the other hand, has no apologies at all. This is an opportunity he created. How he plays is his business. As long as he is happy, that's all. You mediocre people will never understand what real football is?
All you people think of is scoring goals, vulgar!
Guardiola on the sidelines had veins popping on his forehead and was extremely angry!
Damn Sterling!
Sterling didn't think he was wrong, and continued to turn around and throw himself into the next happiness.
The Crystal Palace breathed a sigh of relief. This guy Sterling almost scared them to death just now. It was too dangerous. Tong Yi immediately reminded the Crystal Palace to strengthen their defense and not give Sterling a chance easily.
Crystal Palace took the goal kick and tried to attack.
It's a pity that this time De Bruyne's risky pass was seen through by Manchester City and interrupted. Then Manchester City immediately launched a fast attack, and the football quickly rolled to the frontcourt and Sterling's feet
.
Is Sterling going to be happy again?
No!
Sterling immediately pulled the football back, and then passed it to Sagna who came up from the side. Sagna tried several times without a good chance, so he passed the football to Goretzka in the midfield.
Goretzka immediately made a diagonal pass to the other wing of Crystal Palace. Nolito on the wing immediately rushed forward and quickly caught up with the football!
After catching up with the football, Nolito did not stop the ball, but directly kicked the ball and passed it.
This ball is a bit like a forced cross.
Because he has no other choice. If he doesn't pass the ball, the football will roll directly off the bottom line.
Therefore, Nolito had no choice but to give it a try.
However, the Crystal Palace defenders defended very tightly, and the pressure was very strong. Nolito himself had no confidence, he just wanted a corner kick!
But at this moment, the football hit the arm of Rudiger, who was pressing him, and hit the bottom line.
Nolito became excited instantly, raised his hands excitedly and roared, "It's a handball, he's got a handball! Penalty kick, this is a penalty kick! Penalty kick!"
The Manchester City fans at the scene were also stunned, and then they roared excitedly, "Penalty kick! This is a penalty kick!"
Rudiger immediately turned around and waved to the referee Atkinson, saying that his hand had not touched the football at all. This was not a penalty kick, not a penalty kick at all!
Tong Yi, Guardiola and others on the sidelines became nervous and excited, all staring at Atkinson.
They want to see how Atkinson, one of the four blind men, will make a penalty?
