This year the stadium, which can accommodate more than 12,000 fans, was full.
Although there were not many away fans in sight.
This is enough to show the enthusiasm of the fans of the home team in this game. They all came to support Maribor and witnessed Maribor's victory over Crystal Palace.
After all, Crystal Palace is the Champions League champion. It would be a very glorious thing to defeat them. Who doesn't want to be there in person?
Yes, now Maribor fans feel that Maribor will definitely win.
At this time, Tong Yi walked into the stadium.
Milanic walked over quickly and extended his right hand to Tong Yi from a distance, with a very low posture.
This was beyond Tong Yi's expectation.
Milanic said enthusiastically in his rough voice, "Welcome to Slovenia, Mr. Tong Yi!"
Seriously, Milanic is so polite.
Naturally, Tong Yi would not be too boastful, and he responded enthusiastically.
The two chatted for a while, as if they had not met for the first time, but were acquaintances who had known each other for many years. This made the fans at the scene and in front of the TV full of confusion, and of course Tong Yi was also very confused.
He didn't know why Milanic put his posture so low?
However, the game had already started at this time, and Tong Yi couldn't think about it anymore, so he just threw himself into the game.
This game is also very important for Crystal Palace and must be won.
However, Crystal Palace did carry out a large-scale rotation in this game. None of the main players played. Even Maignan and the irreplaceable Van Dijk did not appear in the game. It was all rotation and substitute players.
It was precisely because of seeing this that Maribor felt that they could do it again.
However, just two minutes into the game, Crystal Palace gave Maribor a blow to the head.
Midfielder Joan Armene intercepted the ball and sent the football to Llorente's feet. Llorente saw Sabitzer retreating to catch the ball, but he did not pass the football to Sabitzer. Because he saw
Behind Sabitzer, the opponent's Braz Vohovich was rushing up quickly, trying to steal the ball from behind.
He immediately made a diagonal long pass, passed an overhead kick, and passed the football directly to the feet of Gnabry who was advancing forward. After Gnabry held the ball, he dribbled the ball in small steps.
It seemed like he was about to break through. The opponent's full-back knew that Gnabry was very fast, so the home team backed away some distance to open up space and prevent Gnabry from taking advantage of his speed.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gnabry suddenly made a pass, and the football drew an arc and flew into the center of Maribor's penalty area. Giroud, who rushed up from the center, jumped high and overwhelmed the opponent's goal.
Center back Rajcevic, Taishan smashed the football into Maribor's goal.
Samir Handanovic's cousin Jasmin Handanovic reacted quickly, but the team was too fast, so he did not touch the ball at all, and the ball flew quickly into Maribor's goal.
One to zero, crystal Palace took the lead.
Yes, Maribor's main goalkeeper is Inter Handanovic's cousin, and he is also Inter Handanovic's substitute in the Slovenian national team.
This guy is very tall and his reactions are relatively quick.
He once played for a team in the Italian Serie B and was quite capable.
However, this time he still failed to stop the football from flying into the goal.
Seeing this, the scene that was noisy just now was completely silent. There were more than 12,000 people, but no one made a sound. Only the Crystal Palace people in the stadium were celebrating and shouting.
Tong Yi on the sidelines also smiled and applauded. He did not expect that the game would go so smoothly. He scored a goal just after the game started. This was just like bringing the ball into the field. It was very good.
Tong Yi shouted loudly into the stadium, "You're playing well, just play like this, come on!"
Tong Yi is really satisfied.
And Milanic frowned. He didn't expect that the game would suddenly turn out like this. This has just begun! What's wrong with you? Where are the rhetoric before the game?
Milanic was speechless and immediately came to the sidelines to remind the Maribor players to pay attention to defense.
Maribor's players immediately made adjustments and prepared to strengthen the attack. But they soon discovered that it was not possible. It was difficult for them to send the football to the center of the Crystal Palace penalty area. On the rare occasions, they still passed it directly through Bigfoot.
It went up, but had almost no chance to threaten the Crystal Palace goal.
Most of the time, football was just wandering around Maribor's penalty area, because the Crystal Palace's high press was really too fierce and sharp. Where have the Maribor people suffered such persecution in the Slovenian league? This intensity is really
Make them powerless.
The football is often intercepted by the Crystal Palace players before half time has passed.
Moreover, after the football was stolen, the Crystal Palace people switched offense and defense very quickly. It was impossible for Maribor to organize their defense line immediately. Therefore, their defense line gave people a feeling of being full of loopholes.
The Crystal Palace men were able to put the football into the most dangerous positions very quickly and easily.
Danger, it is really dangerous here in Maribor.
Seeing this, the Maribor people in the stands did not have the arrogance and confidence they had before the game. Their clenched fists were full of cold sweat, and they were all extremely nervous.
Milanic on the sidelines was jumping up and down, reminding the team's players how to defend, but the effect was not good.
At this moment, Joan Armene, who was pressing forward in the midfield, stole the ball again. He immediately pushed the football to Theo who was coming up from the wing. After holding the ball, Theo quickly advanced along the sideline and passed the ball.
After the defensive players were attracted, he immediately passed the football to Yan Yufeng, who was pressing towards the center. Yan Yufeng received the ball, and the opponent's defensive players immediately pounced on him, and then he took advantage of the situation and moved the football forward.
Push, the football was passed to Special Olympics who was advancing from the wing.
Special Olympics caught up with the football, suddenly pushed the football towards the baseline, and when the football was about to roll out of the baseline, he caught up with the football and swept it horizontally with his legs. Sabitzer quickly followed up and rushed in to meet the ball and fired with one kick.
He quickly rushed towards the bottom corner of the far goal.
The ball speed is very fast, as fast as lightning.
Jasmine in front of the goal was tall and strong, but his speed was a little slow, so the football quickly flew past him and into the goal.
Two to zero, Crystal Palace once again expanded the score.
Seeing this, the people of Maribor collectively lost their voices again.
Milanic on the sidelines felt despair and endless pressure. The strength of Crystal Palace was indeed much stronger than theirs, and they had almost no power to resist.
However, Milanic still did not give up and was still giving advice to his players to cheer them up.
But, to be honest, the effect is not very ideal.
The main reason is that the gap in strength is too big.
The game is still going on, and the Maribor people are naturally attacking like crazy. They tried their best, but the number of times they can threaten the Crystal Palace goal is really very few. The only two effective shots were long shots.
It was also quite far away from the Crystal Palace goal, and there was no hope of scoring a goal at all.
In fact, after seeing this, the media reporters could see that Maribor was doomed.
You guys can't even touch the opponent's goal, how can you possibly win the game? Before the game, you guys in Maribor were really too optimistic, so that's why you played so passively in this game.
It was too late for Milanic to adjust at this time. To be honest, if they had put up a defensive formation from the beginning, there is no chance that they would have gotten a draw. Now, there is almost no chance.
In the 17th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace advanced with the ball. Llorente and Sabitzer passed the ball continuously, and went directly to the hinterland of Maribor's penalty area. Maribor passed one-on-one many times.
Our fans instantly became nervous again, and every one of them was very nervous and worried.
Before the Maribor players had time to rush to intercept, Llorente suddenly shot from a position thirty meters away from the goal. The football shot out like a cannonball, quickly.
Di Fei shot towards the upper right corner of the goal.
This ball is really fast and has a tricky angle. Even if Jammings' cousin Samir Handanovic could not save this ball, the goalkeeper cannot be blamed for this ball. This ball is a must-goal.
!
Seeing this, Jammings was also very speechless. How could you allow the opponent to take a long shot comfortably with this ball? How did you defend it?
Milanic on the sidelines was also very dissatisfied. He was attacking the double midfielders in the midfield. Can you defend?
This goal is really a mental breakdown. Wherever Llorente holds the ball, no one is there to block or interfere. This is really a goal for the Crystal Palace people.
< br> Damn it!
Now we are already behind 0-3. What will happen in the next game?
At this time, the game is not over. The Crystal Palace people are attacking one after another, taking turns to attack Maribor's goal. Maribor's goal is in danger. If it weren't for Jammings' outstanding performance during this period, he would be quite a bit different.
The cousin's shadow came out, and then Maribor's goal was saved and no more goals were conceded.
The Maribor fans at the scene gave Jammings applause. Without him, Maribor's goal would have been smashed in the first half of the game.
However, not long after the second half of the game started, Yan Yufeng and Te'ao on the wing played wonderful cooperation again. The two passed the ball continuously, which made the Maribor full-back's head dizzy. And
At this moment, Yan Yufeng suddenly made a pass and passed the football into Maribor's penalty area.
Giroud rushed forward quickly and headed towards the goal. The ball shot quickly into the top corner of Maribor.
4-0, Giroud scored twice.
The game was actually over by this time. Milanic stopped jumping up and down and just sat quietly on the sidelines. They were completely resigned to their fate.
However, the game is still going on, and there are still forty minutes left in the second half. The Maribor goal may suffer even more!
Sure enough, at ten minutes, Crystal Palace's attack came again. Sabitzer in the midfield suddenly kicked the ball diagonally to the wing, and Achraf caught up with him from the wing.
The football was directly kicked and passed. Giroud in the middle once again showed his amazing header ability. He directly overwhelmed the opponent's Rajcevic and headed a bouncing ball past the side-attacking Jammings. The football flew again.
Got into the goal.
Five to zero, the fans in Maribor couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and left the field early.
Milanic on the sidelines was also very speechless. What should we do with this game?
Crystal Palace's offense didn't stop, it was still going on like crazy. These substitute players really didn't waste any opportunity or time at all, they just attacked fiercely.
In the 78th minute of this game, Crystal Palace got a chance for a corner kick. Special Olympics in the corner kicked the ball to the back point, and Upamecano jumped high to attack with his head.
The goal slammed the football into Maribor's goal.
It's 6-0, and the Maribor people's last hope of showing up may be lost on this ball.
At this time, Milanic sighed and said, "I didn't expect the gap between us to be so big!"
In the 88th minute of the game, midfielder Sabitzer sent a precise through ball, directly putting the football at the feet of Haaland, who came on as a substitute. Haaland squeezed away with his body.
The opponent's center back, Marco Suler, volleyed the ball ahead of Jasmine and slammed the football into Maribor's goal.
With a score of 7-0, Crystal Palace slaughtered Maribor in an away game and won three consecutive victories in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season.
