637: It’s often accidents that disrupt the situation at critical moments.
Yes, what to do next?
Continue to attack fiercely to create opportunities for the Crystal Palace people to counterattack; retreat to defend, is it too late now?
Guardiola is going to be in a dilemma!
The advantage of two goals is not as good as the advantage of three goals. At this time, if you retreat to defend, if Crystal Palace is allowed to score another goal, the pressure on the Manchester City players will explode. And at that time, the Manchester City players
He must have been so flustered that he even trembled when he spoke.
So the next period of time is very important for Manchester City!
Mr. Guardiola, you have made various plans before the game. You should also have plans for this situation, right?
At this time, you shouldn't be entangled for a long time, right?
The sooner we make a decision now, the better, and the fewer opportunities we will give Crystal Palace!
Vieira stared closely at Guardiola. He wanted to see what decision Guardiola would make and when he would make it?
Soon, Guardiola made a decision while the Crystal Palace players were still celebrating the goal - retreat!
Although the advantage of two balls is not as good as the advantage of three balls, it is still an advantage!
And in ordinary football matches, the advantage of two goals is huge.
Therefore, at this time, it is a good and correct decision to retreat across the board and defend to the end.
Vieira gives Guardiola a thumbs up!
At this time, Ronaldo of Crystal Palace was still celebrating crazily in the corner flag area.
This goal is really important for Crystal Palace.
And the timing is also very good, leaving nearly thirty minutes for the Crystal Palace people. Chasing two goals in thirty minutes may seem a bit difficult, but it is completely within time. The next step is to test the Crystal Palace's ability to attack tough problems.
, and the defensive ability of Manchester City.
At this time, fans from both sides became nervous, very nervous.
When the Manchester City people saw the Crystal Palace people score a goal, they were afraid that the Crystal Palace people would take advantage of the victory and score another goal; while the Crystal Palace people were afraid that the Manchester City people would retreat and not give them any chance!
Nervous, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense!
The camera at the scene was focused on Tong Yi on the sidelines!
Tong Yi still sat very calmly on the coaching bench, very calm, as if the Crystal Palace team was leading now. And he was in this state from the beginning of the second half of the game. It seemed that he was really interested in this second half of the game.
So confident!
Seeing Tong Yi in this state, the fans and players of Manchester City were all worried.
The more clueless Tong Yi felt, the more nervous and scared they became.
Seeing this, Guardiola raised his eyebrows. This damn Chinese soft-boiled man indeed has two skills.
At this time, this guy Tong Yi didn't take the initiative to play at all, and he was all about taking advantage of the situation. If he didn't take the initiative, there would be no flaws. Therefore, Guardiola was a bit unable to control Tong Yi. Guardiola was also staring at Tong Yi closely at this time, thinking to himself, "This guy is really bad!"
If you don't take action, then I will!
Guardiola immediately waved his hand and signaled the Manchester City players to retreat in full. If they held on for half an hour and maintained the advantage of these two goals, their Manchester City team would definitely win this game.
Of course, they also reminded the Manchester City players to be careful.
After all, the Crystal Palace players are still very capable.
After doing all this, Guardiola immediately turned his head and looked at Tong Yi. Unfortunately, Tong Yi still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without any movement. This made Guardiola narrow his eyes slightly and his heart tightened!
Is this guy pretending to be calm, or is he up to something secretly?
No matter what, this Tong Yi is really too cunning.
Little Fox!
In fact, Tong Yi really didn't do anything at this time, because Tong Yi arranged all this during the halftime break. He guessed the reaction of Manchester City after their Crystal Palace scored a goal, and had already customized the next step.
response plan, so Tong Yi doesn’t need to take any action at this time. The Crystal Palace players all know what to do next?
Guardiola stared at Tong Yi solemnly, feeling a little uneasy.
No, right? If we lead 3-0 in this game, we won't be able to win, right?
impossible!
We are Manchester City!
Toot, the referee's whistle sounds, and the game continues.
The Manchester City team immediately retreated across the board and began to set up buses near their penalty area.
To be honest, Manchester City fans are shocked. Since Guardiola came to Manchester City, when did Manchester City have a bus?
Even in the past, when Manchester City had a big lead and wanted to be conservative, they would not set up a bus. At most, they would use passing and possession to control the field and kill time. They would even launch one or two unexpected attacks forward without hesitation.
Let’s expand the score further. It’s really rare in the world to simply set up a bus like today.
This also shows that Guardiola attaches great importance to this game. Guardiola also made a lot of plans and targeted arrangements for this game before the game.
Guardiola really wanted to win this game.
Vieira nodded with satisfaction when he saw this. He felt that our Manchester City team had dropped all pretense and set up a bus. How could we lose if we are so pragmatic? Even if your Crystal Palace has superior offensive power, it will be difficult for us to break through our Manchester City team.
Defend the bus. And even if your Crystal Palace can break through our Manchester City defense and score a goal, it will still take time. By the time the goal comes, the game will be almost over. In that case, your Crystal Palace will score a goal.
What’s the point of the ball?
Woolen cloth?
You, Crystal Palace, will definitely lose this game!
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were very nervous and worried, and their mood was still depressed!
But at this moment, the black clouds became lower, as if it was going to rain next moment.
The atmosphere is really depressing.
On the court, the Crystal Palace players were fully focused and attacking with all their strength.
But to be honest, Manchester City's defense is really layer after layer, and the bus is very solid. The Crystal Palace players and fans all wonder if Guardiola is stealing from Mourinho.
Oh, otherwise this bus wouldn’t be so well-organized!
Seeing Manchester City's tight defense, the Crystal Palace fans were extremely nervous.
In this game, our Crystal Palace is not really going to lose, right?
Crystal Palace fans are nervous.
The fans of the Manchester City team are equally nervous. After all, defense is passive. If something unexpected happens, it will be difficult for the Manchester City team to make up for it. So at this time, the players of the Manchester City team are highly nervous and prevent any accidents.
Any unexpected things happen!
But the more you don’t think about it, the more things will happen!
At this moment, the Manchester City people who didn't want to have an accident really did have an accident!
This Crystal Palace attack actually poses little threat. Although Salah on the wing received De Bruyne's pass in the penalty area, he was pressed to the edge of the penalty area by the bus defense, even at the edge of the penalty area.
He was about to be pressed out of the baseline. Salah posed almost no threat in this position, and Salah's passing line was also blocked.
This guy Salah is locked in a dead end with almost no threat.
Manchester City, on the other hand, were eager to eliminate the threat, so Stones, a young man, was a little anxious and too aggressive in pressing the ball behind him.
Salah's eyes flickered and he calculated on Stones in an instant.
After testing each other, Salah somewhat figured out the speed and general direction of Stones' movements. Salah suddenly became angry. When he expected that Stones was going to make a move, he suddenly thought of dunking the football towards the goal.
, turn around immediately.
With a bang, Stones' leg stretched out to poke the football kicked directly at Salah's feet.
Salah fell down in response!
To be honest, Salah is just trying randomly. After all, he is locked in a dead end, and there is almost no further progress. It is very likely that the football will be pushed out of the bottom line, or he will touch the bottom line.
Rather than doing this, it is better to work hard, so he tried it randomly, and he never thought he would succeed. But at least try, it is better than doing nothing!
Who knew that what surprised him was that he succeeded!
Stones is too anxious and wants to kill him as soon as possible. The football was destroyed, and he kept stretching his legs to poke the ball behind him and pressing his upper body. Unexpectedly, Salah calculated it and kicked Salah directly in the leg as he turned around. Salah fell to the ground and hugged his feet.
Screaming in pain.
Stones was stunned for a moment and looked around innocently!
Who am I, where am I, what happened?
Toot toot!
The linesman waved the flag frantically to indicate a foul, and the referee blew his whistle and rushed over!
Only then did Stones clearly realize what he had done? He immediately turned around and looked at the referee very innocently, and said cautiously, "I didn't do anything? He did it on purpose, it was a flop! A flop.
!”
The referee didn't pay attention to Stones' reaction at all. He took out the yellow card from his jacket pocket and flashed it to Stones, then pointed directly to the penalty spot and awarded a penalty kick!
"Penalty kick! Wow, it's unbelievable. At this time, the referee actually awarded a penalty kick! This was less than three minutes after Crystal Palace scored. Crystal Palace was going to score two goals in three minutes and complete a shocking feat.
A big reversal?" Shearer was very excited and roared excitedly!
Vieira and the fans of Manchester City were dumbfounded and dumbfounded!
how so?
Why did the situation here suddenly take a turn for the worse?
Guardiola on the coaching bench was also stunned!
To be honest, even Tong Yi on the Crystal Palace coaching bench widened his eyes and expressed disbelief. He did not expect that the second goal would come so smoothly, or even come so unexpectedly. Is this... could it be?
Is God helping us in the Crystal Palace?
This opportunity really came unexpectedly, very unexpectedly.
But, to be honest, Crystal Palace still needs this opportunity very much.
The Crystal Palace fans were very excited, they were very excited.
Then, amid these excited cheers, Portuguese forward Ronaldo walked up to the penalty spot holding the football. Facing the opponent's goalkeeper Bravo, Ronaldo quickly took a run-up and easily deceived Bravo with a fake move.
, a low kick swept the football directly into the lower right corner of the goal!
Two to three, Crystal Palace continued to narrow the point difference between the two teams.
The Manchester City people became nervous at this moment. Now there is only one goal difference between them and Crystal Palace. And there are more than 20 minutes left in the game, which becomes very dangerous. A
The gap between the balls is really too small, it’s not safe at all!
So what’s next!
What decision will Guardiola make next? Should he continue to set up the bus, or attack out?
This situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for the Manchester City team, but fortunately they are still one goal ahead. As long as they maintain this goal advantage, it is their Manchester City team that will win. At this time, it is not their Manchester City team that is anxious.
