in the commentary box.
"Hello, I am Henry, who you are not very familiar with! Today I will be partnered with Mortensen to commentate on this game." Today's commentator is Thierry Henry.
This was beyond the expectations of many fans.
"Today, what we bring to you is the second leg of the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League. The two sides are the home team Crystal Palace and the visiting team Sevilla. This is a focus battle." Mortensen said.
The routine is introduced.
"In the first leg of the match between the two sides, Crystal Palace unexpectedly lost away from home, which was beyond everyone's expectations. After going to home today, will they be able to counterattack their opponents and successfully advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League? This is a highlight.
What do you think about this, Thierry?" Mortensen also asked Henry what he thought.
Henry said directly without thinking, "Of course I am optimistic about Crystal Palace. There is an irreparable gap between the two teams in terms of strength. Moreover, this is the home court of Crystal Palace, and more importantly, the point difference between the two teams is not big. As long as
Nothing unexpected happened, I think Crystal Palace should be able to win this game easily."
The Crystal Palace fans in front of the TV also think so. Their Crystal Palace has the strength.
Henry looked at Mortensen and then asked, "Mortensen, are you optimistic about Sevilla?"
Mortensen immediately shook his head and said, "I am also optimistic about Crystal Palace, and I am optimistic about China Tong. The current state of Crystal Palace is actually good. I don't think the defending champion will fall in the top 16. This game should be won by Crystal Palace."
Yes, Mortensen is also optimistic about Crystal Palace. .??.
Most people are more optimistic about Crystal Palace.
Therefore, Sevilla is actually still at a disadvantage at this time.
Now it depends on whether there are any surprises in this game, and whether Sevilla can show something that surprises everyone.
Of course, Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace people don't want Sevilla to perform well.
Crystal Palace must win this game.
"Okay, the players from both sides are now ready to play. Let me introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides today." Mortensen said immediately.
The starting lineups of both sides for this game are as follows:

Lone forward Ben Yedder
Judging from the starting lineup, Sevilla's tactics are indeed clear at a glance, which is to defend and counterattack, leaving Ben Yedder in the front, everyone in the back participating in the way, and then letting Nasri pass the ball for Yedder.
Seeing this, the Crystal Palace players all glanced at Tong Yi subconsciously. Tong Yi was so powerful, he could see through Sampaoli's thoughts. The starter today was indeed Ben Yedder, and this guy came to counterattack.
Seeing this, the Crystal Palace players became more confident. They should be able to win this game.
On the Crystal Palace side, almost all the main players played, with only Alisson and Rudiger taking turns.
Alisson and Rudiger both had minor injuries, so they had a rest today and did not start.
However, the injuries of both of them are not serious and they will be able to play in the weekend game.
In this game, Tong Yi took the two players off in turns, just in case.
Therefore, almost all the main players of Crystal Palace are playing, which makes Crystal Palace fans feel relieved that Crystal Palace will win this game!
beep!
At this time, the referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game.
The visiting team Sevilla kicked off first, but before they could control the ball, the ball was intercepted by Crystal Palace. Seeing this, Sampaoli secretly thought, and sure enough, Crystal Palace attacked fiercely at the beginning to grab the start.
. Look at the start of the game. Crystal Palace players swarmed into Sevilla's half and instantly suppressed the Sevillaans in the half.
Before the Sevilla players could recover, the football was stolen from their feet.
Seeing this, Sampaoli was very angry and jumped up directly, roaring towards the stadium to express his dissatisfaction.
He made it very clear in the locker room before the game, and emphasized it many times, that Crystal Palace must get the start. He asked the Sevilla players to get into the state early, defend seriously, and don't
Give the people of Crystal Palace a chance.
These guys answered well on the surface, but performed very poorly in the game.
His players simply weren't in game shape.
This made Sampaoli very angry and even very worried.
It would be very dangerous to kick like this.
And he also saw that the Crystal Palace players had obviously been prepared for this, and what was revealed was obviously premeditated.
He predicted Crystal Palace's tactics and direction correctly, but now he has no advantage and is even at an absolute disadvantage. This naturally makes Sampaoli very angry.
The Sevilla players on the pitch were also shocked.
Sampaoli’s pre-match prediction was right, Crystal Palace went crazy from the start
The ground attack was fierce, the whole line was pressed. It was dangerous. Now they, Sevilla, were in danger.
Because the Sevilla players know their situation very well.
They haven't entered the state and rhythm of the game yet, but Crystal Palace has begun to take off. Isn't Sevilla completely doomed?
Sevilla's players were very nervous, but still defended with all their might.
But at this time, Sevilla simply couldn't withstand the onslaught of the Crystal Palace people.
"Wow, the morale and state of the Crystal Palace team today are very amazing. The intensity has increased since the beginning. With this high pressure and this pressing, the Sevilla people seem to be completely unprepared! This preparation is not sufficient.
Sevilla is in suspense. As expected, the ball was stolen, and Crystal Palace completed the interception!" Mortensen suddenly roared excitedly, his voice penetrating.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene also became excited instantly, jumping up and down and cheering excitedly.
They also saw it, and the competition was immediately obvious from the beginning. It was clear that the Crystal Palace side was very well prepared, while the Sevilla side looked a little embarrassed, and fell to the bottom in an instant.
.
Sure enough, their Crystal Palace team is super strong and cannot be resisted by the Sevillaans.
Seeing this, the Crystal Palace fans instantly became confident. They felt that Crystal Palace would definitely win this game, and there was no way the Sevillaans could stop their Crystal Palace from advancing.
Crystal Palace must win!
Their Crystal Palace will definitely reach the quarterfinals of this season's UEFA Champions League.
Henry also said with some excitement, "This is too fast, and the players' pace of attacking is also very consistent. It's like a big net trapping the Sevillans, leaving the Sevillans nowhere to go."
Escape! The strength of the Sevilla people is actually not weak, but it is obvious that they are a little slow to enter the game state, each one seems to have not woken up!"
This is indeed the case. Before the Sevilla players could react, their feet were cut off.
Come on, the Crystal Palace is really too fast.
Moreover, the high post pressure was very fierce. The Sevillans were pressed when passing the ball, so the ball was intercepted instantly.
After successfully intercepting the ball, Crystal Palace did not slow down at all.
The Crystal Palace side even accelerated their attack, and the football quickly rolled to the feet of De Bruyne in front. Sevilla's defensive players were shocked and immediately rushed forward to press De Bruyne. Who knew that De Bruyne would
Laune quickly passed the football across the field and the ball rolled to the side.
Cancelo stepped in from the wing and immediately passed the football to the feet of Salah in the frontcourt.
Salah didn't stop the ball at all and once again passed the ball back to Cancelo who followed up quickly.
This continuous pass mobilized the focus of Sevilla's defensive players and instantly tore apart Sevilla's defense. Cancelo did not stop the ball and directly kicked it straight. He quickly passed the football to Salah who was advancing forward.
The continuous passing and receiving of these two people overwhelmed Sevilla's defensive players. Moreover, they had not yet fully entered the state of the game, and they were somewhat unable to keep up. In addition, Sevilla's passing speed was so fast, Sevilla's defensive players were overwhelmed.
As expected, the loopholes in Leah's defense were torn open in an instant.
Salah easily penetrated Sevilla's defense and chased the ball.
The Sevilla fans were shocked. They immediately raised their hands to signal that the Crystal Palace players were offside. This was an offside kick. But the referee and the linesman ignored it. It was a good goal.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were very excited and excited. They were jumping excitedly and cheering for the Crystal Palace players. They were looking forward to a goal.
It's best to score a goal right from the start.
Sampaoli on the sidelines was very angry, yelling crazily, instructing the Sevilla players to go up and defend. But it seemed to have no effect. None of the Sevilla players had done anything at this time.
How can he keep up with Salah once he is fully in the game?
Salah is in game form at first glance, and he is in very good form.
After catching up with the football, he turned around and glanced at Sevilla's penalty area. In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic had already rushed up to respond. But Salah had no intention of passing the ball at all. He just faked it.
Passing the ball with action, and then taking advantage of the situation with a mouth ball, he dunked directly past the defensive player, and then quickly entered Sevilla's penalty area.
Sampaoli on the sidelines was really speechless, his defense was like paper.
Even if the Crystal Palace players are not in great shape, they can easily get past their defense.
Sampaoli was very angry, jumping up and down on the sidelines and gesticulating, but the effect was not ideal at all.
"It's dangerous. It's dangerous for Sevilla. It's so easy for Salah to break through. Who can intercept him now? Sevilla has completely lost its defense. The ball is hanging. Is it possible?
Are Crystal Palace going to bring the ball in?" Mortensen was a little excited, Crystal Palace was going to score a goal.
The fans of Crystal Palace are naturally very excited and excited. The game has just started. Are we at Crystal Palace about to equalize the score? If so, this game is simply a God-given opportunity.
We, Crystal Palace, will definitely win this game.
After continuous breakthroughs with the ball, Salah went directly into Sevilla's penalty area. Then facing the oncoming center back Pareja, Salah once again swung his leg and faked a dunk, directly past Pareja.
Sampaoli's face was ashen, what was he kicking?
He can't stand it anymore. With this defense, you still want to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League? This is simply asking for death!
After passing Pareja, Salah directly swung his legs and volleyed the football towards the Sevilla goal. The ball was very fast. Rico in front of the goal also reacted quickly and immediately.
He fell to the ground and jumped sideways, but he didn't touch the football at all. The football flew quickly into the Sevilla goal.
