April 27, 2017, The Valley Stadium, London, England.
What is happening here today is a make-up match in the 28th round of the Premier League this season. Crystal Palace plays against Tottenham Hotspur at home. The starting lineups of both sides today are as follows
Home team Crystal Palace, head coach Tong Yi, formation 4213
Alisson
Back four from left to right Cancelo, Rudiger, Van Dijk and Carvajal
Double defensive midfielder Casemiro and Kante
Single attacking midfielder De Bruyne .??.
The front three from left to right Salah, Ibrahimovic and Kylian Mbappe
Visiting team Tottenham Hotspur, head coach Pochettino, formation 3421
goalkeeper loris
Back three from left to right Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Eric Dier
Midfield four from left to right Ben Davies, Dembélé, Vanyama and Trippier
Double attacking midfielder Ali and Eriksen
lone striker Kane
This is the starting lineup of both sides today. To be honest, Tottenham Hotspur's side is a bit beyond Tong Yi's expectations.
Tong Yi thought that Sun Xingmin would appear in the starting lineup, but he didn't expect to be on the bench today.
Moreover, today Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace's previous opponent Arsenal have exactly the same formation, with three central defenders and two wing-backs. This type of tactical style and formation has been popular in world football recently.
He is playing with three central defenders.
But Tong Yi doesn’t want to play!
Tong Yi's side is still oppressing from a high position and with great force as always!
Tottenham Hotspur's lineup has very high requirements for the two wing-backs. They must be able to move up and down, their defense must be excellent, and their offense must be sharp and distinctive.
Obviously, Tottenham Hotspur's two wing-backs are actually pretty good.
But these two people are obviously strong in offense and weak in defense, but their defense is pretty good.
However, when I met the Crystal Palace today, I'm afraid it was a bit dwarfed by comparison.
After all, the two wingers of Crystal Palace today are very strong. They are both top wingers with speed, technology, breakthrough ability and shooting skills. You, Tottenham Hotspur's defense, can defend these two.
Bit?
Although these five defenders are indeed somewhat designed to defend the two wingers, after all, there are so many people in the penalty area, your winger's breakthrough space is much smaller, and you have to face numerical suppression. This is quite restrictive for the winger.
It was obvious, but Crystal Palace fans were not at all panicked.
None of them think Trippier and Davies can threaten Salah and Mbappe.
Even Tottenham Hotspur's Vertonghen and Dier couldn't stop the impact of Salah.
The outcome of this game is still unknown.
Pochettino clearly knows that Salah and Mbappe are super capable, so they arranged a five-back formation to restrict these two guys. But these two guys can really restrict them.
Salah and the others?
From the perspective of Crystal Palace fans, this is very suspenseful.
The game has been going on for about ten minutes, and Crystal Palace has the absolute initiative. Crystal Palace's high pressure suppressed Tottenham Hotspur's formation, and the five-man defense was also very complete. The two wing-backs have not had much chance to move forward so far.
To be honest, at this time, Tottenham Hotspur fans feel that Son Heung-min is more suitable for this game.
Son Heung-min's speed and ability to combine the ball with the ball are very important in this situation.
Son Heung-min is likely to be the key to breaking this game.
But now Son Heung-min is sitting on the bench, which makes Tottenham Hotspur fans feel a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Crystal Palace created a good opportunity.
The two wingers are indeed somewhat restricted by Tottenham Hotspur. Not only Salah's two wingers, but even the two full-backs covering the wing are difficult to perform. However, they are Tottenham Hotspur's two wingers.
Tottenham's defense attracted two wings, leaving the center a little empty.
The football suddenly fell to the center. De Bruyne did not stop the ball and directly hit Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area. In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic leaned on the opponent's central defender.
Alderweireld, the Tottenham fans at the scene were instantly horrified.
Danger!
The hair on the hair of many Tottenham Hotspur people stood on end, and they were horrified.
Pochettino on the sidelines was also nervous. The defense on the wings was tight, but the center was indeed a little empty.
Moreover, Crystal Palace center Zlatan Ibrahimovic is extremely capable, leaving him in the middle - dangerous!
Relying on Alderweireld, Ibrahimovic stopped the ball with his left foot, swung his right foot and half-turned to volley, and with a loud bang, he volleyed the football to the lower right corner of the goal.
The football flew past and flew straight into the blind spot.
Danger!
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, Lloris's palm suddenly crossed in front of the football and blocked it from the bottom line.
The Tottenham Hotspur fans breathed a sigh of relief. It was really too dangerous just now.
Lloris was dissatisfied for a moment, and immediately stood up and shouted to his defender teammates, "Pay attention to the defense in the middle, don't give them such a big gap! Keep an eye on your own people, you know?"
Tottenham Hotspur fans were shocked, but the danger was not over yet.
Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity.
Tottenham Hotspur people are like facing a powerful enemy, everyone is very serious and cautious, and they follow their own people to the letter.
Carvajal in the corner kicked the ball out with an arc, and the ball quickly flew into the center of Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area. Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Ibrahimovic were in the center.
Qidu jumped up at the same time and shook his head to meet the ball.
"Header!" Mortensen roared excitedly.
The football immediately flew towards Tottenham Hotspur's goal like lightning.
Ibrahimovic once again threatened Tottenham Hotspur's goal, Tottenham's ball
Fans are hopeless.
It's too dangerous.
With a snap, Lloris, who was flying into the air, once again lifted the ball with one palm and directly lifted the football out of the baseline.
Continue the corner kick!
Tottenham Hotspur are feeling tremendous pressure. Crystal Palace is indeed well-deserved. Their ability to press is really super strong. Tottenham Hotspur people now feel as if their necks are being strangled.
Same, I can hardly breathe.
Pochettino glanced at Tong Yi on the sidelines, and then shouted into the stadium, "Pay attention to defense and follow your own people. As long as we defend well, the Crystal Palace people will not have any chance. Come on!"
In fact, Pochettino is feeling a lot of pressure now.
This Crystal Palace really has a lot of tricks up its sleeve!
Nervous, really too nervous.
At this time, the Crystal Palace side took a corner kick again, and the football flew straight to the front point. Van Dijk, who quickly got rid of Dier and rushed to the front point, shook his head to meet the ball, and the football flew straight to the goal.
The upper corner of the near goal post.
Danger!
Tottenham Hotspur fans didn't dare to watch anymore.
With this ball speed, power, and angle, there is no doubt that this ball will go!
Tottenham Hotspur fans are desperate.
Soon enough, Loris jumped out from the side like lightning, his hands stretched straight out, covering the sky and the sun!
However, he still did not touch the football. The football flew past his palm, and suddenly the hearts of all Tottenham Hotspur people were froze.
This time, Tottenham Hotspur are completely finished!
clang!
The football hit the goal post firmly and then bounced off the baseline.
The scene was completely silent!
Then came the cry of regret from the Crystal Palace fans. They really couldn't accept it. They thought the goal would definitely be scored. They all jumped up, sang and danced, and cheered excitedly.
Unfortunately, they still lack a bit of luck.
Bang bang bang!
Tong Yi clapped on the sidelines and gave the applause to the players on the court. He was very satisfied with the performance of the players. He knew that as long as they continued to play like this, they would definitely win this game. Of course, in defense,
You must go all out at all times, otherwise, the goal will be in danger.
Guys like Kane are very capable.
At this time, Tong Yi also reminded the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to defense and not to give the opponent opportunities.
Sure enough, three minutes later, Tottenham Hotspur's offense advanced into the center of the Crystal Palace penalty area. The Crystal Palace players were shocked. Our coach is really amazing. If he hadn't reminded us,
At this time, their defense was completely ruined.
Trippier had already assisted. After continuous cooperation with Alli in the midfield, he suddenly made a pass near the edge of the penalty area. The football immediately drew a wonderful arc and quickly flew into the Crystal Palace penalty area, directly towards the goal.
Kane in the box.
r>
Crystal Palace had already anticipated this.
After all, the only threat to Tottenham Hotspur's front line is Kane. As long as you keep an eye on him, there will be no threat. Van Dijk stuck Kane behind him, jumped up high, and shook his head to top the football.
Out of the restricted area.
The rescue was successful and the fans immediately applauded.
However, the football flew directly to Eriksson's feet at the edge of the penalty area.
Danger, too dangerous!
Just when Eriksen was about to take a long shot, a figure rushed out from behind him and directly stabbed the football in front of him.
"Kante, a beautiful steal! Kante can always appear in the most critical position to destroy the football. It is really amazing! Tottenham Hotspur will not have any chance with such a defense!" Mo.
Theson was very excited. He felt that Tottenham Hotspur had no chance in this game.
Crystal Palace will definitely win this game!
After all, Crystal Palace suppressed Tottenham Hotspur in terms of offense and defense.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were also very excited and felt that Crystal Palace was really stable in this game.
But at this time, Kanter's pass was unexpectedly predicted by the opponent's midfielder Dembele, who intercepted the football before De Bruyne. Then he quickly sent the football to Alli in front.
At the foot of the ball, Ali kept the ball and pulled the ball back to Marseille, directly past the rushing Casemiro.
Casemiro really didn't expect it. He didn't react in time and was passed directly.
At this time, Ali is still England's star star, not a soft-footed crab in the future. Now he is on the rise. He is very good in terms of physical fitness and mentality, and he plays very spiritually. He is one of the few local players in England.
Some kind of spiritual players.
Therefore, the English media exploded as soon as he appeared on the scene, and they were really looking forward to him!
At this time, Ali's performance really made everyone very satisfied, and he performed very well.
After passing Casemiro, Ali was not timid, holding the ball forward quickly and heading towards the penalty area of Crystal Palace. Facing Rudiger who was diving out, Ali suddenly stepped on the ball and stopped suddenly, and then suddenly accelerated and rushed.
Using a change of rhythm, coupled with a right foot to move the ball to the right, the ball was actually knocked to the left with a flick of the ankle, a tail flick, which directly deceived Rudiger's center of gravity. Rudiger's body
It shook and almost didn't fall down.
At this moment, Ali immediately accelerated forward, rushed past the swaying Rudiger, directly entered the penalty area of the Crystal Palace, and went to the meeting alone!
The Tottenham Hotspur fans instantly screamed with surprise.
Danger, the Crystal Palace is in danger.
Alisson rushed out in front of the goal immediately, narrowing the angle of Ali's shot.
But at this moment, Ali suddenly stretched out his leg and thrust the football forward quickly. The football quickly rolled between Alisson's legs and got into the Crystal Palace goal.
One to zero, Tottenham Hotspur, playing away from home, took the lead.
