Crystal Palace welcomed Southampton at its home stadium, Tongyi Stadium. Tongyi also made some rotations in this game, but Ronaldo still appeared in the starting lineup for this game.
To be honest, Ronaldo is really popular recently.
His current scoring efficiency is very high and his performance is very good, which has exceeded many people's expectations.
Even Real Madrid fans expressed disbelief.
Originally, in their opinion, Ronaldo was already old and should be on the decline. How come he is still so strong after coming to Crystal Palace, and he seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
This scoring efficiency simply beats the current Real Madrid players in an instant.
Jimenez, whom Real Madrid introduced from Crystal Palace, has only scored one goal so far, not even as good as the Benzema they retained, who has now scored 3 goals.
There is simply no way to compare.
To be honest, many Real Madrid fans really regret it...
Of course, why did Ronaldo have to be sent away in exchange for Jimenez? This Jimenez doesn’t seem to be doing well. It’s been so long since the league started, and Jimenez has only scored 1 goal.
Although, although Jimenez still has 4 assists.
However, you have to understand that you are a center forward and Real Madrid brought you here to score goals, not to provide assists.
Some Real Madrid fans are indeed a little disappointed with Jimenez.
However, Real Madrid's top management and coaches are still supporting Jimenez. After all, supporting Jimenez at this time is politically correct. After all, this was the decision of Mr. Florentino himself. President Perez
How could it be wrong?
Moreover, Jimenez's performance is still good now, with 1 goal and 4 assists. Is it bad?
After Jimenez is fully integrated into Real Madrid, Jimenez's performance will not be worse than Ronaldo's.
On the contrary, the introduction of Hazard from Chelsea is really disappointing.
Hazard cost Real Madrid more than 100 million pounds. Now after he came to Real Madrid, he played for 60 minutes and sent out zero goals and zero assists. After that, he directly injured his groin and was exempted from the game. It is said that
You need to rest for at least two months.
hiss!
Real Madrid is at a huge loss.
Bell, who was sent out by Real Madrid, also liked playing golf very much after coming to London. Some media reporters even revealed that Bell once did not participate in team training and went directly to play golf. However, he
Now he has also provided 2 goals and 2 assists for Chelsea.
Isn't this better than Hazard?
To be honest, Real Madrid really lost money by disbanding the BBC team this summer.
Of course, the biggest loss is still c. On Ronaldo.
c. Ronaldo really performed too well when he came to Crystal Palace and scored goals like crazy. This made many people regret it.
And with Ronaldo's current state, it is very likely that he will continue to score goals today.
Southampton head coach Pellegrino emphasized before the game, "Our team must guard against Ronaldo in this game. He is in really good form recently. If he is not restricted,
If so, Southampton will have no chance in this game."
It can be seen that the current Ronaldo is really powerful.
At the beginning of the game, Ronaldo got a very good opportunity. Achraf from the wing made a direct pass. Ronaldo in the center jumped high and beat Japanese center back Maya Yoshida.
, heading towards the goal, the football whizzed past like a cannonball.
Fortunately, Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster reacted quickly enough and saved the football from the bottom line.
Otherwise, Ronaldo scored again.
Seeing this, many clubs are very envious of Crystal Palace and Tong Yi.
Why did this guy Tong Yi bring in Ronaldo?
To be honest, Pellegrino really wanted to bring in Ronaldo. They even contacted Real Madrid at the beginning. Unfortunately, neither Ronaldo nor Real Madrid were interested in Southampton and Pellegrino.
Greenough also had no choice.
What a pity, what a pity that Southampton are not a wealthy club!
Pellegrino himself is deeply touched by the influence of wealthy clubs!
After all, when he was a player, he himself could not resist the temptation of Barcelona and Liverpool and went to play for these giants. Unfortunately, he was not particularly happy going to these giants, especially joining Barcelona.
As a central defender, his performance was very poor after joining Barcelona. He quickly lost his main position and left Barcelona not long after he stayed.
Later, he went to Valencia, where he ushered in the highlight of his career.
In Valencia, he was the club's main center back, helping the team win two La Liga championships and two Champions League runners-up. He is a famous figure in Valencia and the mainstay of the Valencia club in its glory days.
Therefore, it is understandable that he looks down on Southampton with Ronaldo and chooses to join a giant.
If he were Ronaldo, he would not choose to join Southampton.
How wonderful it would be to go to the Crystal Palace!
Crystal Palace is the best team in world football today.
It is a new top club, the new ace of the Premier League, with a new style. Going to Crystal Palace can not only gain traffic, but also money, and even honors. Why not go to Crystal Palace?
At this moment, Crystal Palace's attack came again.
Pellegrino also shook his head helplessly. The intensity of Crystal Palace's high-position pressure was really too high, and the success rate of intercepting the ball in the frontcourt was too high. This made them feel a huge danger, and the Premier League
The pace of transition between offense and defense was already very fast, but Crystal Palace was even faster, so Southampton was a bit overwhelmed.
At this time, football came to De Bruyne's feet.
De Bruyne seemed to be holding the ball directly into the space. Southampton's defensive players were shocked and tried to intercept De Bruyne's passing route. At this time, De Bruyne flicked his ankle.
, directly changed direction and accelerated, passing the defensive player in a swish, and went directly to the front of the penalty area.
Danger, really very dangerous.
Pellegrino on the sidelines was worried at this time. Is there something going to go wrong?
He immediately roared crazily towards the court, reminding the players to strengthen their defense.
Southampton's central defender Huth rushed forward quickly to intercept De Bruyne. At this time, De Bruyne took advantage of the situation and stuffed the football at Ronaldo's feet, and accelerated past Huth.
Go over and break into Southampton's penalty area.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was carrying Maya Yoshida on his back in the middle, didn't stop the ball at all. He took advantage of the situation and pushed the football into the penalty area. De Bruyne knocked the ball in the direction of the advance - a one-two against the wall!
The two easily cooperated and directly penetrated Southampton's defense. Pellegrino on the sidelines was very speechless and angry.
De Bruyne rushed forward and faced the opponent's goalkeeper Foster directly.
Foster had no extra choice at this time and rushed forward quickly and pounced on De Bruyne.
At this time, De Bruyne took advantage of the situation and poked, and the football continued to fly forward close to the turf - floating on the grass.
The speed of the ball was very fast, and Foster immediately closed his legs to close the wicket.
It's a pity it's too late!
The football flew quickly between his legs and rolled into the Southampton goal.
In the 17th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace, playing at home, scored. De Bruyne scored the goal, and Ronaldo assisted him.
Bang bang bang!
Tong Yi kept applauding on the sidelines. It was a beautiful goal. De Bruyne messed up Southampton's defense. It was really good. Of course, the main thing was Pellegrino's victory over Southampton.
The defensive players put more defensive energy on Ronaldo, which caused De Bruyne to stir up the ball so easily. It's stormy.
Seeing this, Pellegrino had no choice.
To be honest, there is still a gap between them and Crystal Palace in terms of strength, which he has to admit. But they will not just give up. He thinks they still have a chance and they can win.
So, when the game restarted, Southampton stepped up its offense and threatened the Crystal Palace goal. Unfortunately, Dushan Tadic's shot still missed slightly, and three minutes later, Sean Long also missed the goal.
Got a chance, but unfortunately it was intercepted early by Van Dijk.
Van Dijk's presence really makes Southamptonians uncomfortable. Van Dijk is stuck in the most critical position every time, making their strikers sick.
At this moment, after the Crystal Palace side passed the ball continuously, the football rolled to the feet of Gnabry. Gnabry immediately swung his legs, seemingly to pass the football to the wing and quickly hit it.
Cancelo suddenly swung his legs on the spot and passed a curve ball directly, quickly passing the football into Southampton's penalty area.
In the penalty area, Ronaldo, who was inserted in the back row, jumped high and overwhelmed Maya Yoshida!
Ronaldo, who jumped up, was a head ahead of Maya Yoshida, who also jumped up. With a bang, Ronaldo hit the football firmly on the forehead, and the football shot quickly towards the Southampton goal.
The ball was very fast, like a bolt of lightning.
Foster immediately jumped into the air in front of the goal and made a sideways save. Unfortunately, he didn't touch anything, and then the football quickly flew into the Southampton goal.
Before the end of the half, Crystal Palace expanded the score and basically sealed the victory of this game.
C. Ronaldo also performed very well in this half of the game. He easily completed a pass and a shot. I wonder what the Real Madrid people will think when they see C. Ronaldo's performance? Will it be more?
Do you regret it?
To be honest, Ronaldo doesn't seem to have declined at all. Anyway, he has become more comfortable playing after switching to center. Moreover, his aerial ability has been brought into full play, and he has evolved into an aerial dominance center.
Real Madrid fans are indeed very greedy to see this.
At this time, he had to compare Ronaldo and Jimenez. In this comparison, Jimenez is completely a younger brother, there is no comparison.
It's a big loss this time!
After halftime, Tong Yi replaced Ronaldo and De Bruyne to rest. After all, there is no suspense in this game, and it is a waste to keep them on the court. Moreover, the substitutes must be rotated.
Players have some game opportunities, so substitutions are necessary. Moreover, Crystal Palace will still have double matches next week, so it is necessary for the main players to rest.
