666: This should be considered a double blessing, right?
January 23, 2018, Tongyi Stadium, South London, England.
In the locker room, Tong Yi could not hide his nervousness!
This state is different from any of his previous games. Even in the Champions League final, he has never been so nervous.
If any media reporters were here and saw Tong Yi in such a state, they would definitely be very curious.
What happened to this Chinese soft rice man?
Why are you so nervous?
Is he really so afraid of Manchester City? Does he think Crystal Palace is really going to lose this game?
If this is true, the media reporters will definitely be very excited.
Do you, a Chinese soft-boiled man, have this day?
If Manchester City fans see Tong Yi in this state, they will be even more excited. I wonder what kind of fools they will leave on the Internet with their excitement?
Stecrus suddenly came over, patted Tong Yi on the shoulder, and said, "Boss, don't worry that my siblings will be fine. After all, this isn't the first time! Just wait until you become a father again!"
Hearing this, Tong Yi looked up at Stecrus and smiled faintly.
Then he said, "I know it too, but I still can't help but worry. I wonder what's going on?"
After all, it had been almost forty minutes since Martina was pushed into the delivery room.
Can Tong Yi not be anxious?
If there is no news when the game starts, Tong Yi will definitely not be able to control himself and will be very nervous.
If this was seen by the Manchester City fans at the scene, I really don’t know what these guys would say?
Pintus also came over and patted Tong Yi to express his comfort.
Kruger came over and reminded, "Boss, it's time for us to go out, the game is about to start!"
Hearing this, Tong Yi turned around and looked at the clock on the wall of the locker room - the game was indeed about to start.
Tong Yi sighed, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, we'll set off right away!"
However, it is obvious that Tong Yi is still worried about Martina who is far away in Italy.
The members of the Crystal Palace coaching staff nodded one after another, and then walked out of the locker room first and walked to the player tunnel.
Tong Yi sighed again and walked out of the locker room.
"If the heart is there, the dream is there, and there is true love between heaven and earth..."
Just when Tong Yi was about to walk out of the locker room, Tong Yi's cell phone rang in the locker room.
Tong Yi immediately stopped and turned around and quickly returned to the locker room. The members of the coaching staff who were about to leave the locker room stopped and turned to look at the locker room.
Tong Yi couldn't wait to answer the call and said with a trembling voice, "Hello..."
The voice of Tong Yi's mother, trembling with excitement, immediately came from the receiver: "Boss, it's happened. Your wife has given birth to twins. It's a twin, a twin, a twin..."
boom!
Tong Yi's mind exploded instantly, his head was dizzy, his body swayed, and he almost fell out.
However, his mind soon became clear and he was very excited.
After giving birth, his wife Martina was almost 9 months pregnant and finally gave birth smoothly. r> Tong Yi immediately asked, "How is Martina?"
Tong Yi's mother was still excited and said, "Both mother and son are safe!"
Hearing this, Tong Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then fell into a dazed state. Although this was the second time in his life that he became a father, he was still very excited and confused. How could he even hang up later?
After cutting off the phone, he couldn't even remember how he ended up in the stadium.
Fortunately, after sitting on the coaching bench for a few minutes, he was finally brought back by the intense atmosphere at the scene.
We know that the key battle of the second leg of the 2017-2018 EFL Cup semi-finals is now underway, and at this time, the Crystal Palace team is slightly passive in the stadium!
Yes, the game has already begun!
Even when Tong Yi walked out of the tunnel, the game had already started for more than two minutes.
Tong Yi came out late here.
At this time, Tong Yi, who woke up, suddenly became serious, because now their team is indeed at a disadvantage.
His eyes immediately focused on the court, observing the situation of the game.
It didn't take long for him to see that the Manchester City players were in very good condition today, and each of them played very actively, showing an extraordinary level on the court. It can be seen that in this game, Manchester City
The people here are very well prepared, they are here just for victory.
Tong Yi became serious and immediately came to the sidelines to direct the defensive players on the court to defend.
Tong Yi reminded, "Pay attention to Aguero, don't let him rush up, don't give him space, stay close to him."
Yes, Tong Yi immediately saw the problem.
Aguero is in very good condition today and is very active. This guy is always able to create opportunities and complete shots.
Even under Van Dijk's strict defense, he was still able to find opportunities.
Aguero is indeed a bit explosive today.
If he was not restricted at this time, Crystal Palace would actually be more dangerous in this game.
It seems that Guardiola was right not to let Aguero play in the last game. He trained Aguero very well.
Danger!
At this moment, Manchester City's midfielder Goretzka broke through the two defenses with the ball continuously, and suddenly pushed the football into the foot of Aguero in the penalty area. Aguero had expected it in advance and was reasonable in advance.
The collision hit Van Dijk, who was not completely ready. Van Dijk was knocked away in an instant.
The distance at this step is very critical, it is enough for Aguero to make the next operation.
Just after spreading Van Dijk, Aguero immediately stopped the ball with his left foot, pumped the football with his right foot like lightning, and shot the football hard towards the Crystal Palace goal.
"Aguero, shoot!" Mortensen roared excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Because this is not the first time Aguero has shot in this game. He was full of threats in the previous few times. This time the opportunity is even greater.
Well, closer at hand, the chance of scoring a goal is very high!
The Manchester City fans at the scene also stood up and prepared to jump.
The football shot towards the right side of the Crystal Palace goal like a cannonball.
The Crystal Palace fans were all frightened, and their faces were a little ugly. They thought the goal was over.
With a snap, the god Maignan descended to earth and slapped the football out of the bottom line with one palm.
"Amazing save, miraculous save! Maignan, Maignan is really amazing. He saved such a close shot. This reaction is like the goalkeeper is alive! Maignan saved this goal.
The team, he is like a god descending to earth. How can ordinary people shoot through the goal he is guarding? It's not that Aguero is not good, it's that Maignan is amazing!" Shearer was very excited. In fact, he thought that
There is no doubt that this goal will be scored. Who knew that Maignan would actually perform a miracle? It would be strange for him not to be excited.
Oops, all the Manchester City fans at the scene sighed!
What a great opportunity!
Bang bang bang! .??.
Although they felt regretful that the score was five, they still gave Aguero applause. It was a good goal. Keep up the good work!
Manchester City fans believe that Aguero can score.
Manchester City fans believe that Manchester City can win!
Come on, Manchester City!
Corner kick, Manchester City got a corner kick opportunity.
Goretzka glanced at Crystal Palace's entry, then suddenly took a running start, quickly rushed to the football, and drove the football directly into the back of Crystal Palace's penalty area with an arc.
Otamendi, who was in the back position, jumped up high and slammed the football with his head.
With a bang, the football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.
The ball is there!
Snap, it’s Maignan again!
The expressions of the Manchester City fans were extremely ugly. How dare you pounce on such a good opportunity? How dare you pounce on our Manchester City team's shot? Aren't you afraid of retribution?
Bang bang bang! .??.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene gave Maignan applause. Maignan was really amazing today. Without his protection, Crystal Palace would have been beaten to pieces in this game, right?
Tong Yi on the sidelines also kept applauding and gave Maignan a thumbs up. He also secretly signaled the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to counterattacks and seize opportunities!
The Crystal Palace players in the stadium nodded one after another to express their understanding.
At this moment, Manchester City took a corner kick again, and this time the ball flew directly to the front point.
Manchester City's center back Stones rushed forward quickly, and then the football was plucked from his head by Maignan who rushed out. Then he rushed out quickly and went directly to the edge of the penalty area, and then
A big foot quickly whipped the football out.
Guardiola on the sidelines had already shouted for counterattack, but by this time it was too late, the football had already flown out.
Guardiola is really speechless!
You should not stop Maignan from serving this ball immediately. Launch a counterattack?
How did you let him release the football so easily?
This ball is dangerous!
Mbappe in the frontcourt pretended to jump up for a header, but in reality he was feinting a shot, turning quickly, and rushing forward.
Because when he was judging the landing point, he deliberately took two steps forward and deliberately misjudged the landing point of the football.
Sure enough, Manchester City's young full-back Zinchenko was fooled!
Zinchenko quickly moved forward, clinging to Mbappe, staring at the football in the air, ready to jump up and fight for the top!
Zinchenko really jumped up, but Mbappe didn't!
Mbappe made a fake jump to deceive Zinchenko, and immediately turned around and ran forward.
The football quickly passed over the head of Zinchenko, who had jumped up, and fell behind him.
Zinchenko and the Manchester City fans were shocked and turned pale at the same time.
Damn it, I was fooled!
Zinchenko's face was ashen, and the anger in his heart was like a burning flame.
It's a pity that anger is useless at this time. Mbappe has already rushed out quickly, smoothly unloaded the falling football, and is quickly driving the ball towards Manchester City's penalty area.
Single sword!
Crystal Palace got a chance to stand alone!
Seeing this, the Manchester City fans at the scene were instantly desperate, and at the same time they were madly complaining about Zinchenko.
How could you be fooled so easily?
How could it be passed so easily?
Zinchenko immediately turned around and chased back, but his partner Walker had already quickly caught up and rushed towards Mbappe who was holding the ball.
At the same time, goalkeeper Bravo in the penalty area rushed out immediately and quickly rushed towards Mbappe who came with the ball.
It's a pity that Mbappe's speed is too fast, and Walker, a fast horse, can't catch up.
The Manchester City fans at the scene were even more desperate. The only glimmer of hope in their hearts was with Bravo.
Bravo, you must be as good as Crystal Palace goalkeeper Maignan, and you must save the football.
But at this moment, Mbappe, who was running, suddenly shot!
He hit the football hard with his kick, and the football flew close to the turf toward the lower corner of the goal.
Yes, Mbappe did not shoot the curve ball directly into the far corner as Bravo expected, but directly volleyed hard. Bravo was a little late to react, although he fell to the ground immediately
He jumped sideways, but the football still rushed past his armpit and rolled quickly towards the lower corner of the near post.
The Manchester City team's goal instantly had Sima's face on the scene!
clang!
The football hit the inside of the near post hard and bounced quickly into the Manchester City goal.
One to zero, Crystal Palace finally took the lead.
Seeing this goal, Tong Yi's eyes lit up and he felt happy, "Is this a double happiness?"
