After taking the lead, Crystal Palace's morale was obviously even higher, and they frequently pressed high.
The players on the Manchester United team looked a little flustered.
Especially the defensive player Rojo on the wing.
Under Mbappe's pressure, Rojo made a mistake and was intercepted by Mbappe in front of him.
After the steal, Mbappe immediately made a diagonal pass and quickly passed the football into the Manchester United penalty area. Ibrahimovic, who was in the front, followed up a bit late. His speed is indeed not his strong point.
But Manchester United's defensive players were also caught off guard and did not intercept the football at all.
The football quickly crossed the center and rolled backwards.
Asensio, who rushed up from behind, tried his best to slide the tackle, stretched out his right leg and kicked the football. The football shot quickly into the Manchester United goal. De Gea's reaction was also useless, and he didn't touch it at all.
football.
The football flew into the Manchester United goal.
Two to zero!
The passion of the Crystal Palace fans instantly reached the sky, and they were almost so excited that they couldn't even find the north!
champion!
We at Crystal Palace are going to win the EFL Cup!
Toot toot!
The referee Marina blew the whistle directly, indicating that the foul was committed first, and this does not count!
Marriner's gesture pointed to Mbappe on the wing, indicating that Mbappe committed a foul when stealing and the ball would not count.
Mbappe was in disbelief, holding his head in his hands, opening his mouth wide, and smiling bitterly.
How can it be?
This interception of the ball is obviously very clean, okay? Why is it a foul?
To be honest, Tong Yi also didn't understand. He stood up and spread his hands to show that he didn't understand. Why? This ball was obviously a perfect steal, why was it a foul?
This guy Rojo immediately pretended, climbed up from the turf, pointed at his heels, and claimed that Mbappe stretched his legs from behind and kicked his heels, causing his legs to weaken and fall to the ground.
Crystal Palace fans are speechless!
Could you please be a little more fake?
This ball was clearly caused by you not standing firm and falling down. What's wrong with Mbappe?
Shhhhhhh!
Crystal Palace fans immediately booed Rojo, who felt that his performance was too heavy.
Tong Yi was very dissatisfied and rushed directly to the fourth official, reminding the fourth official that there was no foul on the ball!
However, the fourth official recognized Marriner's penalty and supported Marriner's penalty.
Tong Yi was speechless.
How could this ball be a foul?
Manchester United, you have escaped disaster!
But Mourinho was very angry, very angry. Of course, his anger was not directed at the referee, nor at the table, but at Rojo.
This guy Rojo is really overconfident. Why did you insist on being in such a dangerous position just now? The ball? And it was easily stolen by Mbappe?
Mourinho sprayed Rojo bloody on the head.
If there were no better options, Mourinho would not let Rojo play this position.
To be honest, Rojo really drives high and walks low.
He performed well in the World Cup that year, which attracted the attention of Manchester United and brought him to Manchester United. But to be honest, after coming to Manchester United, Rojo's performance has not met everyone's expectations.
To be honest, Mourinho doesn't like this guy a bit.
Especially after seeing Rojo's performance, he disliked it even more.
At this time, Mourinho sprayed Rojo bloody.
Rojo immediately raised his hands to express that he had made a mistake and that he would not make the same mistake again in subsequent games.
Although Mourinho was angry, he did not seize on this matter and kept telling Rojo to play seriously and be cautious so as not to concede the ball again.
It stands to reason that when Manchester United conceded the ball at this time, it was the time for their crazy counterattack. Who would have thought that they were suppressed now? This makes Manchester United people unable to see any hope!
Manchester United fans are very nervous, even very worried.
The fans of Manchester United were shouting and cheering wildly, cheering for the players of Manchester United. But at this time, Manchester United was still at its lowest level in the stadium. The high-position pressing on the Crystal Palace side was indeed something, but Manchester United was probably a little bit weak.
It's difficult to hit the ball forward.
At this time, Pogba had to frequently retreat to get the ball and knock it down.
However, the effect is not very ideal.
Mourinho looked at Rooney on the bench. Do you want to make a substitution at this time? Would it be better to replace him with a veteran with good strength and experience? Lingard is a bit restricted today.
, almost no performance.
On the other hand, France's new Henry Martial still performed well on the wing.
Just now, Gentle from the backcourt made a long pass and found Martial near the Crystal Palace penalty area.
Martial's stop of the ball was very good. He stopped a very fast and high ball firmly at his feet. It was also the most comfortable and easiest position to handle, so Martial's next action was connected.
It was very fast. Before the rushing Special Olympics had time to get into position, Martial directly changed direction and used his speed to directly destroy Special Olympics in one sudden move.
However, Theo's speed and turn were very fast, and he quickly caught up!
When Theo chases after him, he does not intend to steal the ball immediately, but simply blocks the line and force Martial toward the baseline. It is best to directly force Martial out of the baseline.
Unexpectedly, Martial suddenly stopped and knocked the heel of his left foot inward to change direction, instantly got out of the way, and then quickly pushed the football out of the inverted triangle!
follow up
Balotelli directly held up Rudiger and hit the ball with a blast!
The football roared out and the Manchester United fans were extremely excited.
The ball is there!
Indeed, the quality of this shot is very high, the power is great, the ball speed is very fast, and the angle is also good.
Mourinho is ready to pump his fist in celebration!
There was a bang, Alisson, the ball came to the player, Alisson side dived the football and saved it from the bottom line.
It was a wonderful shot and a beautiful save!
Of course, some of Martial's previous operations were really beautiful.
To be honest, Theo was a bit surprised. According to Martial's character, it should not be easy for him to pass the ball. This guy should have shot from a gap in the penalty area? Why did he pass the ball suddenly?
Woolen cloth?
What a surprise!
However, Martial has proven himself that he is capable and threatening.
On the contrary, Lingard did not become aggressive in this game. His performance was relatively quiet. No wonder Mourinho wanted to replace him.
If we continue to play like this and Lingard fails to perform, it will be equivalent to Manchester United losing one person on the pitch.
Of course, it wasn't just Lingard who was suppressed at this moment, other players were also a little suppressed.
Crystal Palace's high press is still very threatening.
Manchester United is a bit overwhelmed here.
Just now, Manchester United's winger Rojo wanted to break through with the ball and provide an assist. Unexpectedly, the football under his feet was directly shoveled out by Kanter who rushed out. But the football did not roll out of the bottom line.
Instead, he was instantly intercepted by Te'ao who rushed up, and Te'ao's speed was like a bolt of lightning.
The fans of Manchester United were frightened and very nervous.
Special Olympics quickly reached down with the ball and made a direct pass.
The football drew a wonderful arc and flew quickly into the Manchester United penalty area. Ibrahimovic, who was in the back of the penalty area, jumped high and hit the football hard. The football quickly shot towards Manchester United.
Team's goal.
The ball was playing very fast, and the faces of Manchester United fans were very dark.
Danger!
With a snap, De Gea blocked the football with one palm!
To be honest, De Gea is indeed a very good guy. Without De Gea, I really don’t know what the results of Manchester United would be like. As expected, the frontcourt is picturesque, and De Gea is the backcourt.
But in this game, Manchester United's frontcourt is not as picturesque as it is!
Manchester United was somewhat suppressed in this game.
Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity.
Carvajal came directly to the corner kick to take the corner kick. He played with the football and looked directly at the back of the penalty area. Manchester United's center back Ginter was right next to Ibrahimovic, and Bailly was
Went to defend Van Dijk.
It seems that Mourinho also Bailly was a little worried, so he replaced Ginter to defend Ibrahimovic.
Not to mention, this room change was very successful. Ginter actually held up Ibrahimovic and pushed the football out of the bottom line, making an easy clearance.
Bang bang bang!
Mourinho on the sidelines kept applauding and gave Ginter a thumbs up.
To be honest, Mourinho is very satisfied with Ginter. This guy has performed very well since coming to Manchester United and has been improving steadily. Moreover, he has firmly established himself as Manchester United's main central defender in just a few games.
Position, he is the first choice in the defense.
Mourinho is still very satisfied with the defense this time.
Corner kicks, Crystal Palace continued to get corner kicks.
Manchester United fans are very nervous because they know very well that Crystal Palace's corner kick scoring rate is very high. It is very dangerous for Crystal Palace to receive corner kicks continuously!
Mourinho once again reminded Gentle to stick to Ibrahimovic and not to give Ibrahimovic a chance. Genter immediately nodded, indicating that he understood, and then stuck to Ibrahimovic.
Rahimovich and Ibrahimovic tried to get rid of it many times, but failed.
Ibrahimovic also had to admit that Ginter's defense was much better than Bailly's.
At least, it is not as easy for Ibrahimovic to get opportunities as before.
At this moment, Carvajal suddenly drove the football into the Manchester United penalty area with an arc. The football arced and flew quickly to the front point.
Bailly and Van Dijk immediately rushed over, and then they both jumped high, fighting for each other in the air, so that neither side touched the football, and the football flew quickly to the back point.
Gentle, who was shooting from behind, shook his head and pushed the football out of Manchester United's penalty area.
Nice, nice defense!
Pogba saw the football flying over, and he was about to stop the football with his chest. Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him, and then a person rushed over from behind him, stretched out his hand, and directly threw the football to him.
Stab it out.
The football rolled quickly into the Manchester United penalty area. Before the Manchester United fans could react, the Manchester United penalty area was already in chaos.
In the penalty area, Mbappé stretched out his leg like lightning from the crowd, only slightly changing the direction of the football, and then the football immediately turned and rolled towards the lower right corner of the goal.
The ball was so fast that De Gea in front of the goal couldn't react to the ball.
The football rolled into the Manchester United goal.
All the Manchester United fans at the scene held their heads with their hands and were in disbelief. How could this be possible? They shook their heads and couldn't believe it was true. The Crystal Palace fans jumped up and cheered excitedly. They, Crystal Palace, were going to win.
Now, we have to win this game.
Two to zero!
Crystal Palace expanded its lead in the first half and took another step closer to the fourth EFL Cup title in the club's history.
