In this game, Crystal Palace's starting lineup was indeed as Benitez expected, with substitutes and rotation.
Many of the main players did not even sit on the bench, but sat in the stands.
For example, Ronaldo!
Before this game, another scandal spread, that is, Park Ji-ran came to London again, and today she was sitting in the stands of Tongyi Stadium, the home of Crystal Palace. Although she was not sitting with Ronaldo
together, but it was said that someone took a photo of the two meeting together before the game.
However, after verification, everyone found that the photo published by "The Sun" was several months ago and not from this time at all. Therefore, there is no evidence that the two met in private. Maybe they just made a special trip to watch the game.
That's all!
However, outside media reporters and fans are very gossipy and believe that they are still having an affair.
However, at this time, the Portuguese and Park Ji-ran did not come forward to deny it.
At this time, the referee of this game, Andre Marriner, blew the whistle to start the game.
The first to kick off was the visiting team Newcastle United.
The Magpies were still very pragmatic today, as Benitez said before the game, they were here to keep the tie.
In this game, their starting formation was 4411, and even the back nine players retreated very obviously, leaving only one forward in front. Even more often, this forward was huddled in his own half.
Benitez never deceives me!
The Manchester City fans in front of the TV are naturally so angry that their lungs are about to explode when they see this. Can't you Newcastle United dream a little bit? Is it difficult to defeat Crystal Palace? Don't be so timid, okay?
If you are timid, you will not be able to predict the future!
If you want to avoid relegation, three points is particularly important!
However, Benister was unmoved!
Being able to get a point against Crystal Palace is a victory for Newcastle United.
Originally, the Magpies were suppressed by the Eagles. If they could escape unscathed in this game, it would be a good result.
Therefore, as soon as the game started, the Magpies defended across the board.
Crystal Palace naturally led the attack!
Not to mention, at the beginning of this period, the Magpies' defense was really tight. Even the Crystal Palace side didn't get any good opportunities. The only way the Crystal Palace side threatened the Magpies' goal was with long shots, Giroud, slightly
Lent and Gnabry took turns to test the opponent's goalkeeper Darlo with long-range shots.
Newcastle United's defense is still good, and Crystal Palace did not threaten their goal.
Seeing this, Newcastle United fans are very satisfied.
If they can really maintain the score until the end, then they will be very satisfied.
However, it is obvious that Crystal Palace will not let Newcastle United succeed.
This side of the Crystal Palace The old one is trying to attack.
Since you can't penetrate through the middle, just go to the two wings, or bomb at an angle of 45 degrees. Anyway, they have high ground and header experts, so it should be relatively easy to kill Newcastle United.
As a result, Crystal Palace frequently cooperated from the wing, with wingers and full-backs looking for opportunities to cross, which put Newcastle United under tremendous pressure.
Even Benitez on the sidelines couldn't sit still and stood up directly.
Tong Yi is calm here and can still accept the team's current situation.
After all, the game had just begun at this time, the physical fitness and energy of the players on both sides were at their strongest, and the opponent's defense was definitely at its tightest at this time, so he was not anxious at all if he did not score a goal at this time.
He believes that as the game progresses and time goes forward, Newcastle United's defense will definitely have loopholes and problems. In that case, this is Crystal Palace's opportunity.
Now Crystal Palace should not be anxious, just slowly and continuously put pressure on Newcastle United.
When the pressure builds up to a certain level, Newcastle United will be completely doomed.
Therefore, Crystal Palace fans are also very calm at this time.
For now, the situation is still very good. If the pressure continues, Newcastle United will lose.
Manchester City fans on the Internet also think so. They have criticized Benitez of Gass, thinking that Benitez is a coward. At this time, the Magpies should go to fight with Crystal Palace.
I wonder if you still have a chance.
Now, just wait to die!

This made the Manchester City fans in front of the computer TVs stunned!
They didn't expect this result at all!

He caught up with the football and scored directly with one hand.

It really looks like a funny fat penguin!
But neither the Newcastle United fans nor the Crystal Palace fans laughed at him, their attention was not on this. They were all shocked by Newcastle United's goal, which was so shocking!
To be honest, Tong Yi was a little surprised.
It's unbelievable that Newcastle United scored the first goal in this game!
However, this goal was because their Crystal Palace attack was too high and gave the opponent a chance. Dias took the risk and thought he could get the football, but the football flew past his long legs.
, he lost his position instantly and gave Gale a chance.
Dias must bear some responsibility for this goal.
After scoring the goal, Gayle was immediately surrounded by his Newcastle United teammates. They were extremely excited and roared crazily.

The Manchester City fans in front of the TV were very pleasantly surprised. This was simply an unexpected surprise!
They thought that Newcastle United would be completely ruined in this game and could not defeat Crystal Palace. Who would have thought that Newcastle United would score first. Is this the result of Newcastle United being more pragmatic? Maybe it is better to travel lightly.
the most important reason.
Because Newcastle United did not have too much pressure in this game, they were very relaxed and their performance would be better. It seems that our Manchester City team was too pretentious before. If our Manchester City team does not bear the burden, then
If there is a lot of pressure, maybe our Manchester City team can defeat Crystal Palace.
Therefore, at this time, it is a good thing that Newcastle United can play easily without pressure.
Manchester City fans all saw hope. They cheered for the Newcastle United players, hoping that they would continue their excellent performance and score another goal. In this case, Newcastle United would be able to win this game.
Victory, Newcastle United come on!
At this moment, the game started again.
Guardiola, who was in front of the TV, was also worried. He felt that Crystal Palace might really lose in this game.
In that case, this game will be the first game Crystal Palace loses this season.
The first game is here, will losing in the second and third games be far behind?
Therefore, the result of this game is extremely important.
Guardiola is also cheering for Newcastle United in his heart, and he also firmly believes that Newcastle United can win this game. Of course, what Newcastle United have to do now is to stick to their tactics!
After all, at this time, the Crystal Palace people are lagging behind, and they will definitely attack crazily, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible. >

This is a good opportunity for Newcastle United to expand their score!
Guardiola couldn't help but shake his head. He was cheering for Newcastle United and hoped that they could win this game. Newcastle United people, come on!
Crystal Palace's tactics are still the same as before, they are still attacking like crazy.
The football came to Sabitzer's feet and was shoveled out in an instant!
Newcastle United's defensive intensity is also very strong, and tackles like this can be seen everywhere. Moreover, they pay special attention to the defense near the penalty area, and the defense is also very tough. Therefore, Crystal Palace takes the middle route.
The attack is indeed relatively difficult.
Crystal Palace also had to go wide again. Achraf from the wing directly started to pass. The football flew quickly into Newcastle United's penalty area. Giroud overwhelmed Newcastle United's central defender Lascelles.
He slammed the football hard into Newcastle United's goal, scaring the Magpies and Manchester City fans so much that their faces turned pale.
How dangerous!

Three minutes later, Crystal Palace made a comeback, and the football rolled to the other side. Gnabry on the wing suddenly kicked the ball and passed it into the Newcastle United penalty area. Unfortunately, Giroud didn't
He didn't hit the football for the first time, and the ball spun directly to the lower right corner of the goal.
This made Newcastle United fans dumbfounded and their hearts in their throats.
It's a pity, it's really a pity.
The ball actually hit the outside of the far post and flew out of the baseline. Crystal Palace almost equalized the score.
Manchester City fans are scared out of their wits. Newcastle United, please defend well!
