Guardiola on the sidelines was stunned and expressed his incomprehension.
The game hasn't been played yet, why is it like this?
All the Manchester City fans present were also stunned.
Didn't it mean that Crystal Palace was not in good condition today and had physical problems? Why did everyone look like they had been given chicken blood?
Especially that Jimenez!
Maybe some media reporters and fans criticized him too much before the game, but now they have inspired this guy's fighting spirit and aggressiveness. In just twenty minutes, Jimenez scored twice. It was really impressive.
A slap in the face.
Many media reporters in the stands must have had their faces swollen from being beaten!
Who said before the game that Jimenez was not worthy of taking over from Ibrahimovic? There was a huge gap between him and Ibrahimovic?
Now, do you still have such thoughts?
Guardiola's eyes were also fixed on Jimenez. This guy really exceeded his expectations today and also dominated the direction of the game.
Guardiola also regrets not paying attention to this guy.
Otherwise, this game wouldn't have turned out like this.
Guardiola immediately waved his hand, signaling to the Manchester City players that they should press forward and give it a try.
Otherwise, Manchester City will have no chance in this game.
The Manchester City players on the field are also very aware that the current situation is very unfavorable for them. If they don't make adjustments as soon as possible and attack hard to score goals, their Manchester City team will be in danger in this game.
They don’t want to lose!
Of course, I don’t want them to lose to Chelsea!
Now Chelsea fans are almost scolding Manchester City. They really didn't expect that Manchester City would play so badly, conceding two goals in twenty minutes. This is too rubbish!
Even at this time, Chelsea fans doubted whether Manchester City had sold the ball.
Otherwise, how could the ball be lost so quickly?
Chelsea fans really hate the Manchester City people at this time. Can you be normal? Can you beat Crystal Palace? Your strength is far superior to Crystal Palace!
Manchester City people, wake up, you must win!
Chelsea people really hate that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
Manchester City fans are also very dissatisfied with this score. They can lose to anyone, but they cannot lose to Crystal Palace!
Their Manchester City team was also snatched away from the Premier League title by Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace is also the mortal enemy of Manchester City!
In this game, Manchester City absolutely cannot lose to Crystal Palace, they must win!
The Manchester City fans immediately shouted in unison, cheering for the Manchester City players, encouraging them to attack, score the Crystal Palace goal, and reverse the game.
Come on Manchester City, you must beat Crystal Palace ah!
In the stadium, the Manchester City team immediately pressed forward from all fronts, made a mad dash, and besieged the Crystal Palace goal.
At this moment, midfielder Goretzka broke through De Bruyne's defense with the ball. Seeing Llorente press forward, he immediately passed the ball with a diagonal kick to Sterling who was advancing forward!
Sterling is here again, and Manchester City fans instantly became excited.
Today, our Manchester City team relies on Sterling.
After Sterling held the ball, he immediately accelerated, decelerated and changed the rhythm, then made a quick dash, passed through the crotch of Crystal Palace defender Carvajal, and then quickly entered the penalty area.
Sterling's breakthrough ability is indeed very sharp. Crystal Palace has paid great attention to it, but he was still passed. Carvajal has worked very hard, but still failed to intercept it. Then Sterling
Lin faced Crystal Palace center back Van Dijk. He stepped up to challenge Van Dijk and suddenly made an inverted triangle cross, passing the football near the penalty spot.
The Manchester City fans became excited when they saw Jesus follow up quickly.
With a bang, the football was intercepted by Upamecano, who had already expected it. He changed direction and fell to the ground. He stretched out his long legs like lightning.
The football rolled out of the penalty area quickly.
Manchester City fans lamented, what a great opportunity.
As long as this ball misses, Jesus will definitely score it!
It's a pity that the football was intercepted by Upamecano. I have to say that Crystal Palace's defensive ability is indeed very outstanding. Manchester City's attack has been very good. Sterling's pass
There was nothing wrong with the ball, and Jesus' follow-up was just right. Unfortunately, Van Dijk and Upamecano's defense was too tacit and powerful.
Seeing this, Guardiola felt a headache.
In his opinion, this defense was definitely not a fluke.
Even Sterling's passing route was predicted by Van Dijk and Upamecano, and only then Upamecano was able to block the football so well. It can be said that Sterling's passing was the result of Van Dijk and the others.
The temptation seems to be a gap, but in fact it is just a hole dug.
Crystal Palace's defense is indeed very capable, especially the two central defenders Van Dijk and Upamecano.
Guardiola also frowned slightly. These two people are in very good condition. Now Manchester City has to see whether the forward players can perform at a superstar level in this game and whether they can score superstar goals.
It’s hard!
To be honest, I am really jealous when I look at the center back combination of Crystal Palace. If they had a center back like this for Manchester City, this game would not be like this.
The performance of the partnership between Pamecano and Van Dijk today was also very poor.
Yes, Upamecano's mobility is clearly on display, allowing Van Dijk to play more easily.
If they continue to play like this, Manchester City won't have many chances.
After the football rolled out of the penalty area, Crystal Palace wanted to launch a quick counterattack, but unfortunately the football was intercepted by Fernando in the midfield. He passed the ball forward quickly, but was also intercepted by the Crystal Palace people. Manchester City
We had to slow down and reorganize our attack.
Seeing this, Manchester City fans sighed, Manchester City would be different without Aguero.
It's a pity that Aguero is injured.
After reorganization, the football still rolled to the feet of Sterling on the wing.
Obviously, Manchester City's offense relies more on Sterling's wing breakthrough. Although Sterling is indeed very happy in shooting, he is really first-class in terms of breakthrough, simply
It can be called the king of heroes. ??
No, Sterling is here again, breaking through with the ball and facing Carvajal again.
Carvajal was very cautious at this time. His eyes were just staring at the football at Sterling's feet, looking at how this guy would break through. But at this moment, he actually pushed the football diagonally to the wing, and the full-back defeated
Rich came up to the side and made a pass just before the football was about to roll out of the baseline.
The football flew quickly towards the Crystal Palace penalty area, what a chance!
With a bang, Jesus, who jumped up in the middle, did not hit the football at all. The football was pushed out by Van Dijk in front of Jesus, and the football flew out of the penalty area.
Llorente and Goretzka at the front of the penalty area jumped up and shook their heads at the same time. With a bang, Llorente tipped the ball to Witsel, who was not far away.
Witsel didn't stop the ball at all. He quickly pushed the ball forward and directly pushed the football to Salah on the wing.
Salah held the ball, immediately accelerated, made a sudden move, and used his speed to directly beat Fernandinho.
To be honest, Manchester City made a huge mistake by playing Fernandinho as a full-back in this game.
Fernandinho was completely beaten by Salah and didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Guardiola's assistants couldn't stand it anymore and asked Guardiola if he wanted to replace Fernandinho at this time and let Sagna come on? Little did he know that Guardiola glanced at Sani on the bench.
Ya, then snorted coldly without any expression.
Seeing this, the assistant coach of Manchester City could only sigh.
Salah immediately ran into the Manchester City penalty area with the ball, and then shot directly from a small angle. The football roared out, slightly missed the goal, flew out of the baseline, and hit the billboard hard.
The Manchester City fans breathed a sigh of relief. It was really too dangerous just now.
Guardiola immediately turned his head and looked at the big screen. At this time, there was not much left before the end of the first half. It was time. He immediately waved his hand, signaling the Manchester City players to continue attacking and try to score before the end of the first half, so that the pressure of the second half would be much less.
The Manchester City players then stepped up their offense, and Sterling on the wing had more and more time to pass the ball.
At this moment, Sterling suddenly feinted with a horizontal cut inside, and then quickly reversed direction to the wing, deceiving Carvajal in an instant. He immediately accelerated into the Crystal Palace penalty area and made a breakthrough.
It was also a direct shot from a small angle, and the football hit the side net hard.
Sure enough, Sterling is still very happy. He seems to have no talent when it comes to shooting, and he relies entirely on blind shots!
Sterling's talent should all be focused on breakthroughs.
Many people have said that if Sterling's shooting skills are above the standard, his upper limit may be much higher than Robben's.
It's a pity that Sterling is just a happy boy!
Seeing this, the Manchester City fans shook their heads helplessly, not knowing what to say at this time. This guy Sterling is really a person that people love and hate at the same time!
The Crystal Palace side immediately kicked the goal kick away, and the football quickly flew into the Manchester City half.
At the edge of Manchester City's penalty area, Jimenez immediately jumped up high, shook his head, and passed the football to Salah on the wing.
Unexpectedly, Salah did not go up and down Fernandinho this time, but immediately passed the football to De Bruyne in the middle. Then Salah rushed forward quickly, and it seemed that
About to engage in a one-on-one with De Bruyne, Fernandinho quickly followed.
Unexpectedly, De Bruyne did not pass the football to Salah at all, but passed the football to the feet of Jimenez who was running forward diagonally. When Jimenez received the ball, all the Manchester City fans at the scene
Everyone became nervous instantly, and some even had their hairs standing on end.
They themselves don't know when Jimenez became such a threat in their hearts.
This threat even exceeds Ibrahimovic!
After receiving the ball, Jimenez stepped on the ball and made a sudden stop, seducing Manchester City center back Kompany to also make a sudden stop. And the moment Kompany made a sudden stop, Jimenez suddenly accelerated and advanced into the penalty area.
Pani was shocked, and he immediately accelerated his movement twice and quickly recovered to block Jimenez's path forward.
Unexpectedly, after he rushed out, he realized that Jimenez was fake. Jimenez stopped where he was and didn't move at all.
The distance between the two people instantly opened up, and an opportunity appeared.
With a bang, Jimenez swung his legs directly on the spot, took off his foot and fired an Izumo arrow. The football shot rapidly into the upper right corner of the goal. Caballero had no chance at all.
