The front three from left to right Salah, Giroud and Gnabry
The starting lineups of these two teams really exceeded everyone's expectations. Almost all of them were substitutes and rotation players.
Manchester City's forward line is a little more normal, and the midfield and backfield are almost not the absolute main force.
Even the midfielder Dias was born in August 1999 and is only 18 years old now, and the defense center back Adarabioyu was also born in September 1997 and is just 20 years old. Even their bench is still sitting
With Phil Foden born in 2000 and Lucas Nmecha born in 1998.
With this lineup, is it really, as you said before the game, that it is here to show off to all the Premier League teams?
Looking at this lineup, it seems like they are here to train newcomers!
But don't tell me, these new players from Manchester City are really famous.
Especially Dias and Foden, who are known as the twin stars of Manchester City's youth training, are superstars who will influence the world football pattern in the future. It is said that many wealthy teams are now eyeing these two.
It is even reported that Real Madrid is very keen on these two people.
When Tong Yi saw these two people, he knew that their potential was not what the media reporters had boasted about.
Even in Tong Yi's memory, in the future, Dias will transfer to Real Madrid for 18 million pounds in 2019. Although he did not play in Real Madrid, he moved to AC Milan
After that, he became the No. 10 core of the Rossoneri and was regarded by the Milan Legion as the cornerstone of their rise and return to the top.
So, don't underestimate these little guys just because they are young.
Foden even became the crown prince of Manchester City and was even called the new British star!
In addition to these two, Adarabioyo and Nmecha are generally optimistic, so these guys represent the future.
Yes, these guys may do well in the future, but they're still not that good now.
In this game, Guardiola allowed these guys to play. This seems to be a bit underestimating Crystal Palace, and it also means giving up this game?
Even Aguero, who clamored to beat Crystal Palace before the game, was not included in the squad, but sat in the stands.
This makes media reporters and fans very confused.
At this time, your Manchester City team is not at odds with Crystal Palace, and you can easily defeat Crystal Palace without letting other Premier League teams see it. So who will help you defeat Crystal Palace in the future?
Doesn’t the Premier League championship this season belong to Crystal Palace?
Anyway, a lot Does anyone understand?
Especially the Manchester City defense, many people are really worried about it.
Zinchenko is also very young, only 21 years old, and Adarabioyo is only 20 years old. Can this defense withstand the fierce attacks of Giroud and Salah?
Many people find it very confusing!
However, Manchester City fans still have confidence in Adarabioyo.
After all, this little guy has joined Manchester City since he was 5 years old and has been playing for Manchester City. He was once the captain of Manchester City's U18 youth team and reserve team. Moreover, they all feel that this little guy is very tough in frontal defense, and his 196-foot-tall defense ability is also good.
Very good. As long as he continues to accumulate experience, he will definitely be the core of Manchester City's defense in the future.
At this time, it should be good for his growth to let him go to the Crystal Palace!
And the lineup of Crystal Palace is also surprising!
Unexpectedly, except for Salah who is the absolute main player in Crystal Palace's starting lineup, the rest are all substitutes and rotation players.
Did the head coaches of the two teams agree on this match?
However, to be honest, media reporters and fans are still more optimistic about Crystal Palace after seeing the starting lineups of both sides.
Because although Crystal Palace has rotations and substitute players, they have played a lot of games.
These guys have played many games this season, and their experience may be better than many players in Manchester City's starting lineup.
Moreover, these players often win games, making it difficult for Manchester City to win.
Many media reporters feel that the young players from Crystal Palace are much better than the young players from Manchester City.
beep!
At this moment, the referee of this game directly blew the whistle to start the game.
The first to kick off was the home team Manchester City.
The Manchester City team still focuses on controlling the ball from the beginning, and the main control is basically Jingdongan and the retreating Silva. They play with these young players. And the rhythm of the game seems to be controlled by them.
They played it relatively slowly, and it was obvious that they weren't really in a hurry at first.
Although Crystal Palace's high press put a lot of pressure on them, they still control the football well at the moment.
However, when the young players of Manchester City got the ball, they were still a little panicked when faced with the crazy pressure from the Crystal Palace people. The talented new star Dias in the midfield was also a little flustered. After all, he played well in such a game.
.But he is a genius after all, and he gradually stabilized himself.
This little guy Dias can play as an attacking midfielder or a winger. He has good breakthrough ability with the ball, crosses from the wing, and organizational skills. The only shortcomings now are his youth and inexperience, and his playing temperament. These are all needs.
He has experience in the game, but his starting platform is relatively high, and he already has the inherent temperament of some wealthy teams. This is much calmer and more confident than those newcomers from small clubs.
However, he still has many problems from when he played in the youth team.
Sometimes it's still too sticky.
Overall, Manchester City's rhythm is a bit out of touch and they can't keep up.
Fortunately, in this game, his big brothers Silva and Jingdong An were in charge. With these two veterans leading the way, Dias played much more easily and was able to learn a lot.
.
Such opportunities are still rare for him. He must seize the opportunity. He needs to absorb nutrients from such games as soon as possible to improve himself and adapt to the rhythm and method of the first team's games as soon as possible.
But at this moment, Dias had a problem with his sticky ball. ??
After stealing the ball, Crystal Palace's young midfielder Joan Armene immediately used his strong body and perfect timing to intercept the ball directly from Dias' feet!
Obviously, Joan Armene plays much more calmly than Dias.
This is the reason why Joan Armene played enough games after coming to the first team of Crystal Palace. At first, when he first came to the first team, he had the same problem as Dias. Now as he plays more and more games, like this
The problem has completely disappeared. I have gradually adapted to the rhythm of the first team competition and am playing like a duck in water!
After stealing the ball, Joan Armene immediately passed the ball diagonally to the feet of Gnabry on the wing.
Gnabry immediately challenged Manchester City's young full-back Zinchenko!
It is said that Guardiola is very optimistic about this young Ukrainian and feels that he is the answer to Manchester City's future left back.
In this case, the future Manchester City team will have Zinchenko on the left and Walker on the right, and our Manchester City team will be invincible!
Then, Zinchenko was instantly blown away by Gnabry.
Gnabry's ability to break through with the ball is very good, and his speed is also very fast. After he changed directions continuously, he suddenly passed Zinchenko with a crotch. Zinchenko obviously played a little too hard in this game.
It was tight. When facing Gnabry, his brain reaction was a bit slow. In an instant, Gnabry seized the opportunity and passed through the crotch, destroying Zinchenko.
Seeing this, Guardiola frowned slightly!
This Zinchenko didn't show his proper ability at all. How did he play like this?
After passing Zinchenko, Gnabry went directly into the Manchester City penalty area and rushed towards the Manchester City goal.
Center back Mangala immediately moved over to intercept, and at the same time he reached out to signal the young Adarabioyu to move to the middle to cover. Adarabioyo's reaction was still very fast, and he followed Mangala instantly to maintain the
The distance is relatively suitable and can block the empty position in the middle.
However, this guy Adarabioyo still has a very clear mind and made a very correct judgment.
But at this moment, Giroud rushed forward and blocked Adarabioyu with his strong body!
To be honest, although Adarabioyo is young, his physical strength is not bad. I don't think some young players are like bamboo sticks and suffer a lot when they first join the first team. Although Adarabioyo's body is very well-proportioned,
But he is still very powerful. When encountering ordinary forwards, he can really set up a confrontation, and he will not be too far behind in the confrontation. But when encountering the current Giroud, Adarabioyo still lacks a little bit, and he can instantly
Eaten to death.
Adarabioyu has been exerting his strength, trying to squeeze away Giroud and go up to block the defense. Keeping the line.
But Giroud didn't move at all, Adarabioyu was very nervous and worried, and Guardiola on the sidelines was even more nervous.
There was a bang, and suddenly Gnabry on the wing took action and crossed the ball.
Gnabry saw Giroud stuck in his position and passed the ball directly. The football quickly rolled towards Giroud in the middle.
Giroud directly supported Adarabioyo and swung his legs to meet the ball and fired. With a bang, the football shot towards the Manchester City goal quickly. The ball speed was not as fast as yours in a teahouse.
The Manchester City fans at the scene were so nervous that they screamed, "Danger!"
Bravo in front of the goal reacted very quickly, jumped directly sideways, and saved the football from the bottom line with one palm!
The fans of the Manchester City team at the scene became excited. This ball was saved beautifully. They all thought that this goal was definitely going to be scored, and it was so close!
Of course, there are also Manchester City fans who believe that Adarabioyu's interference also played a role in this goal. Otherwise, Giroud will definitely score this goal!
Crystal Palace fans all feel it is a pity, this is a very good opportunity!
Tong Yi clapped and nodded on the sidelines. It was a good kick. Of course, the 20-year-old Adarabioyo opposite looked good and had some talent. I just don’t know if he can really play in the future.
.
Anyway, in Tong Yi's future memory, this guy was not able to stay in the Manchester City team. However, he was also chased by many Premier League teams. There were even rumors later that Inter Milan wanted to introduce him to replace Skriniar who left.
you!
This little guy still has potential, but he is still very immature right now!
In this game, he will let Giroud give this little guy a good whipping to let him know the cruelty of professional football.
Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity!
In the penalty area, Giroud immediately raised his hand to signal Ashraf in the corner to pass the football to him.
Adarabioyu, who was next to Giroud, became nervous instantly, and the hairs all over his body stood up. He was trying his best to defend. But at this moment, Ashraf took a running start and kicked the football hard.
He entered the Manchester City penalty area and flew directly to the center of the penalty area.
Giroud and Adarabioyo in the middle of the penalty area jumped up at the same time, competing for a header!
Adarabioyo tried his best, but unfortunately he faced the veteran Giroud who was more experienced and physically stronger than him. Giroud was stuck in his position, and at the same time he used his strong body to suppress him fiercely.
Watching Adarabioyo. Adarabioyo felt very suffocated during the game. He felt that he had a lot of energy in his body, but he just couldn't exert it.
At this moment, Giroud jumped up high, overwhelmed Adarabioyu, and slammed the football with his head!
"Header, Manchester City is in danger!" Mortensen suddenly roared loudly.
The Manchester City fans at the scene were all heartbroken and secretly said they were finished.
With a whoosh, the football shot into the Manchester City goal as fast as lightning. Bravo reacted equally quickly this time, but did not touch the football!
