Atletico Madrid fans leaned out, stretched their necks, stared excitedly into the stadium, and cheered for Carrasco.
This is a great opportunity for Atletico Madrid.
Simeone also stared at Carrasco with expectation, and he was still very confident in Carrasco.
Carrasco is a pretty good guy, a bit like Hazard, the big brother of the national team.
So far this season, Carrasco has scored 11 goals and had 3 assists. He is considered a very outstanding player in Atletico Madrid this season. Otherwise, why do you think he can play doubles with Griezmann?
forward?
Not only is this ball a sure shot, but it is also very easy to grasp!
Simeone feels Atletico Madrid are back again.
Back from the edge of the cliff again.
In front of his own goal, Oblak clenched his fists when he saw this. His emotions had accumulated in his throat, and he was waiting for the emotions to finally gush out.
Carrasco, you are our hope at Atletico Madrid.
Carrasco himself was very calm at this time and his mind was clear.
His eyes were fixed on Alisson in front of the Crystal Palace goal, calculating Alisson's next move, and then looking for the best time to use the best footwork to accurately send the football into the Crystal Palace goal.
He knows Alisson is very good.
But he is more confident in himself.
Carrasco will definitely score this goal!
At this moment, he noticed Alisson rushing out quickly and pounced on him.
Moreover, when Alisson rushed out, he obviously deliberately exposed the space in the near corner and was tempting Carrasco to shoot into the lower corner of the goal.
Sure enough, Alisson is also very cunning.
But I've seen through your plan, you can't block this ball.
Suddenly, Carrasco, who was running, quickly swung his legs and hit the football hard. It seemed that he was preparing to shoot low and volley the football towards the lower corner of the goal.
Alisson's eyes lit up and Carrasco was fooled.
With a bang, Carrasco's left foot hit the football hard, and the football flew out quickly against the turf, heading towards the far lower corner of the goal!
Yes, Carrasco made a fake shot, flicked his ankle, and volleyed the football directly into the far lower corner.
The ball speed is very fast, as if it is flying on the grass!
But Atletico Madrid and Carrasco were not happy at all.
Because they found that Crystal Palace goalkeeper Alisson reacted very quickly and immediately pounced towards the far lower corner of the goal.
Seeing this, Carrasco even widened his eyes, horrified in his heart and in disbelief on his face!
How can it be?
Alisson, this guy, was deceiving himself from the beginning and then set a trap for himself? So despicable and cunning!
Snapped!
Alisson, who fell to the ground and jumped sideways for the first time, touched the football with his finger. The football changed direction slightly and still shot quickly towards the far lower corner of the goal!
Yes, Carrasco's shot was of very high quality and full of power. Even if Alisson knocked down the football, it still could not completely resolve the crisis. The football still shot rapidly towards the far lower corner of the goal.
The Crystal Palace fans were so nervous that their hearts jumped into their throats.
clang!
The football hit the outer edge of the far goal post hard and bounced off the baseline.
Crystal Palace escaped disaster, Alisson made a superb performance.
Wow!
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were in a roar, marveling at Alisson's wonderful performance. This was such a surprise, they clapped excitedly, and their palms turned red.
Alisson is really great. The fans of Crystal Palace thought that the ball was lost, but they didn’t know that Alisson actually saved the ball. It was really amazing. He is indeed the best goalkeeper in the world, yes.
Alisson is now the best goalkeeper in the world in the eyes of Crystal Palace fans.
Bang bang bang!
Tong Yi also involuntarily applauded Alisson. This goal was entirely attributed to Alisson. He saved the team. Alisson is indeed the last and most critical line of defense for their Crystal Palace. Alisson is indeed not
it disappointed me!
Simeone and Carrasco were both stunned.
beep!
At this moment, the referee of this game blew the whistle to end the first half of the game. Who is playing at home is currently leading Atletico Madrid 2-0, and the total score is also 2-1. If both sides had originally
If the game ends with this score, the team that will advance to the semi-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League will be Crystal Palace.
After returning to the locker room, Tong Yi's expression was very serious. He said to his players, "The current score is not safe. You know the strength of Atletico Madrid very well. I hope you stay focused in the second half of the game. Concentration is the most important thing."
Yes, don’t give Atletico Madrid any opportunities. In the second half of the game, they may attack like crazy. You must be prepared, especially pay attention to the defense against Griezmann.”
Yes, in Tong Yi's mind, the player that Atletico Madrid deserves the most attention and cannot let go is Griezmann. If you can guard him, then this game will be easy to say.
The Crystal Palace players nodded and expressed their understanding.
Tong Yi continued, "Our lead in this game is very small. We must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, we will be eliminated. Do you understand?"
The Crystal Palace players are also very serious.
Therefore, the Crystal Palace players now know very well how they should prepare for the second half of the game.
for crystal palace ball
Tong Yi is very satisfied with the attitude of the staff.
Tong Yi nodded to all the Crystal Palace players and said, "Keep this attitude and focus, and you will be able to win this game. Atletico Madrid is very strong, and our Crystal Palace is even stronger."
Van Dijk immediately said, "Boss, don't worry, our Crystal Palace will never lose in this game!"
Other defensive players also echoed excitedly.
Tong Yi showed that he believed in the players of Crystal Palace, and then waved for the players of Crystal Palace to come out to play.
Soon, the second half of the game between the two sides began.
Sure enough, as Tong Yi expected, Atletico Madrid just started the second half and attacked with all their might. This should be regarded as Atletico Madrid's last ditch effort, so the second half of the game should be relatively difficult, Tong Yi
It's more serious.
In the stadium, the Crystal Palace players performed well. They were very focused on defense and gave Atletico Madrid enough pressure, making it difficult for Atletico Madrid to directly score the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area. Even if they put the football
Entering the Crystal Palace penalty area, the Atletico Madrid players holding the ball in the penalty area were also facing the goal. It was difficult for them to pose a direct threat to the Crystal Palace goal.
Crystal Palace's strong defense makes Atletico Madrid fans more and more anxious and worried.
Crystal Palace's defense is tight and they are naturally worried if they are not given a chance.
Even Simeone, who was on the sidelines, couldn't sit still. He came to the sidelines and kept gesticulating, directing the Atletico Madrid players to attack. The Atletico Madrid players were also very dedicated and worked very hard on the court.
They also put a lot of pressure on the Crystal Palace players.
This made the Crystal Palace players really unable to relax for a moment.
"This game has become intense. Both teams are very committed. To be honest, there are not many truly threatening offenses in the second half of the game, but this game gives us the feeling of being very nervous and the level is very high.
High. Both teams showed a good level." Mortensen said.
Shearer also nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. This game has reached a stalemate. Now is also the most critical moment. Now it depends on which of the two teams can't hold on. Once someone has a problem, then he will be the winner in this game."
It’s over. This is the most critical moment. I hope David’s team can withstand it!”
Sure enough, Hiller was still the steadfast listener and still stood by Tong Yi at this time.
Moreover, Shearer also feels that Crystal Palace, which plays at home, has a greater chance.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened at the Crystal Palace!
foul!
The Crystal Palace people had to use fouls to block Atletico Madrid forward Griezmann at the front of the penalty area. If he was allowed to enter the penalty area, Crystal Palace's goal would be over.
Therefore, Van Dijk did not hesitate, directly stretched out his leg to hook Griezmann's foot, and brought Griezmann down. On the ground.
The referee did not hesitate to award a direct free kick from the edge of the penalty area.
But Atletico Madrid was very dissatisfied. They all believed that Crystal Palace had destroyed Atletico Madrid's excellent scoring opportunity. This goal should have been given a card, at least a yellow card. However, the referee did not say anything and believed that this
It was an ordinary foul, which made Atletico Madrid very dissatisfied.
But there is no way, this is the referee's penalty.
However, the position of this free kick is very good, about 26 meters away from the goal and slightly to the left.
This is a very good direct free kick position, and Atletico Madrid fans are very excited.
This is an excellent opportunity!
Simeone was so excited that he was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, constantly looking around, staring at the Crystal Palace goal. This was a good opportunity for them to score. He didn't want too many goals, just one ball. Just one ball.
One goal was enough for them to eliminate Crystal Palace.
Atletico Madrid poured all their hopes into this direct free kick, because it is really difficult to break down the Crystal Palace defense from other opportunities.
This is a good opportunity, an excellent opportunity!
Griezmann, Saul, Carrasco and Gabi all stood in front of the football. These guys all have free kick skills. Among them, Carrasco is even more bipedal. This guy has two feet.
All good, but it is a big confusion point and creates a lot of trouble for Alisson.
Even Tong Yi was very worried.
Because this opportunity is really great, and the Atletico Madrid people are also good at free kicks.
Danger!
Tong Yi stared at Alisson closely and thought to himself, "I'll leave this ball to you, Becker!"
At this moment, the whistle sounded, and several people in front of the football quickly rushed out and rushed towards the football. This surprised everyone, who was going to serve the ball!
Boom!
Griezmann was the first to rush to the football and hit it hard with his kick. The football flew close to the turf and shot towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Cut to the ground!
Griezmann unexpectedly chose a ground-breaking shot.
None of the Crystal Palace fans expected that their faces were ashen. Even Alisson in front of the goal didn't expect that Alisson's heart suddenly fell to the bottom. This goal was going to be over!
With a bang, the football hit Ibrahimovic's foot directly on the wall, which did not take off. Then it immediately changed direction and quickly rolled out of the baseline.
call!
Seeing this, the Crystal Palace fans breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ibrahimovic was there, otherwise the goal would have been lost. I have to say that Atletico Madrid's free kick was still very threatening.
Yes, it was very unexpected. Unfortunately, there was no goal. This was the closest Atletico Madrid came to scoring in the second half of the game.
