"As you can see, Crystal Palace, the team at the top of the league, rotated in this game, especially in the frontcourt. Most of the players were substitutes. It seems that the Crystal Palace people are full of confidence in this game.
” Mortensen said.
"Indeed, the Crystal Palace team does have such ability now. Moreover, their condition is also very good, and their strength has not dropped much during rotation. So in this game, Leeds United still have to be serious about the team, otherwise Leeds
United will be very dangerous." Shearer is obviously very optimistic about Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace still had a large rotation area in this game. Seeing this, Warnock felt that they had a chance in this game with Leeds United.
Because Leeds United are now bottoming out.
They can win this game.
As soon as the game started, Crystal Palace pressed hard and started pressing high.
To be honest, Leeds United were a little confused when facing such a defense, and their foot skills were a bit rough, so under high-intensity pressing, they really couldn't control the football and made many mistakes.
"It seems to us that Crystal Palace has an absolute advantage right from the start. In this game, Leeds United is very dangerous. Opportunity, Crystal Palace's opportunity has come!" Shearer suddenly roared excitedly.
In the frontcourt, Crystal Palace pressed hard and directly cut off the ball from the feet of Leeds United midfielder 7 Irish international Green. Pogba took advantage of the situation and passed the ball directly to the feet of Heskey in the penalty area. Heskey used
His strong body carried the center back Tate next to him.
Opportunity, perfect opportunity!
Tong Yidu stood up from the coaching bench and stared at the court with bright eyes.
The ball is there!
Huskey, who was holding Tate on his back, took two steps and then immediately swung his legs and fired.
Boom!
The football was pushed out of the bottom line by Reese who was desperately trying to defend him from the side!
Leeds United's defensive crisis was lifted instantly!
"Wow, Leeds United's centre-back defence" The reaction was very fast, and the damage was completed before Heskey shot, very good, the reaction was very fast!" Shearer immediately praised.
"This Reese is indeed very good. He is a super star who emerged from Leeds United's youth training. He is now a member of the England U21 national team. He is 185cm tall and has fast reactions and speed. He is now the hope of Leeds United fans. Leeds United
Fans all regard him as Ferdinand II!" Mortensen introduced the young man who is only 21 years old in detail.
Hiller was stunned. He didn't expect that this little guy had some background.
Mortensen continued, "This little guy is indeed very young. He is now 21 years old, and his 22nd birthday will be in 4 days! Perhaps, today he hopes to win a victory to celebrate his 22nd birthday!"
Shearer paused again, and then said, "Really? Then I kind of hope that Leeds United can win. I also hope that we in England can have a second Leo!"
Ireland's former national goalkeeper Kenny was very excited. He rushed up, patted Reese's junior, and shouted excitedly, "Well done, boy, keep doing this! I'm optimistic about you!"
Reese gasped and nodded, full of fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Tong Yi frowned slightly!
This Reese's reaction speed is indeed quite fast, but the summary of this attack is not entirely because of this Reese. It is because Hesky is older, and his reaction and movement speed are too slow, which is why he was given
Reese the young man a chance.
Tong Yi felt a little regretful at this time!
He kind of regrets starting Husky!
Originally, today he saw that the two starting center backs of Leeds United were not very tall, both only 185. He wanted to use Heskey to suppress the two center backs in height and use two more wingers to pass the ball.
.
But now it seems that the two central defenders of Leeds United are not tall, but their movement speed and frequency of feet are really fast. This is a perfect restraint for Heskey.
Now it's up to Husky to take advantage of the high ball.
If Heskey can't take advantage of the high ball, there will be some problems with Tong Yi's ranking in this game.
Today, Tong Yi sent Robertson and Zhang Linpeng to start as two full-backs, just to let them pass the ball. What he was looking for was Heskey in the penalty area and Pogba, who was running in behind.
This should be able to suppress the two central defenders.
Corner kick!
Crystal Palace won a corner kick!
Robertson glanced at Heskey's position, and then directly signaled the back point with his giant hand. Because he saw the young center back in the opponent's formation setting up defense at the back point, Heskey could use his height and experience advantages to complete the attack.
Abuse each other.
This is your chance!
Robertson then directly kicked off the pass, and the arc of the kick was accurately passed to the back point and flew towards Hess.
The top of the head.
This is a great opportunity, this is a great opportunity for Crystal Palace.
With a bang, the ball was pushed out by Leeds United's young center back Reese, and the ball flew out of the bottom line again.
"Hiss! Wow, this Reese is really good. He actually fought for the high ball above Heskey's head. This is really amazing! His bounce speed and jumping ability are really excellent, for his age
The big Husky won't have any advantage at all!" Hiller was a little shocked. Does this Reese really have the potential to become Ferdinand II?
The Leeds United fans at the scene were also very excited, jumping and applauding, shouting Reese's name. At this time, Reese has become the hero in the hearts of Leeds United fans, and they hope that Reese can continue to suppress Heskey.
Tong Yi frowned slightly when he saw this.
It seems that there are some problems with my arrangement today. Heskey is a bit overwhelmed by these two central defenders who are not very tall. The two central defenders of the opponent are too flexible, and they seem to have poor physical confrontation ability.
Extremely bad.
Of course, Reese's physical confrontation ability is still slightly lacking. However, his reaction speed and bullet speed make up for this disadvantage, which makes Heskey's game very uncomfortable.
Tong Yi immediately turned around and shouted to Murray on the bench, "Glenn, hurry up and warm up!"
Yes, at this time, Tong Yi wanted to replace Husky.
Campbell, Vieri and others were shocked and turned to look at Tong Yi in surprise.
Campbell even said, "Boss, is it too early to make a substitution at this time?"
After saying that, Campbell turned his head and glanced at the big screen of the game. At this time, only ten minutes had passed since the start of the game.
Is this going to require a replacement?
Tong Yi also glanced at the big screen and saw the time. He also felt that it was indeed a bit early to make a substitution at this time. However, he still said, "Let Glenn warm up first and do some physical activity. It will be good for him and the team."
There are benefits!”
Campbell nodded slightly, and then Murray immediately went to warm up.
Murray immediately took off his jersey and quickly rushed out to warm up.
Corner kick!
Crystal Palace continued to get corner kicks, and this time Robertson drove the football directly to the front goal. Laporte, who was in the front goal, rushed out quickly and smashed the flying football with his head. The football shot quickly towards the front goal.
.
clang!
The football hit the front post hard and then bounced off the baseline.
Crystal Palace missed a good opportunity!
This is the best opportunity Crystal Palace has had since the start of this game. Unfortunately, they lacked a little luck.
The Leeds United people have seen the power of the Crystal Palace people during this period. Their offense is really very difficult. Many times they are intercepted by Crystal Palace's high-position press in the middle. This also leads to This resulted in frequent loopholes in their defense. If Heskey wasn't really good at scoring goals, Leeds United would have been more than two goals behind at this time.
"See, this is the strength of the Crystal Palace team now! Their offense and pressure are really too strong, and Leeds United simply can't resist it! If Murray started today, Leeds United's goal would have been blown out.
No! Husky is still old and he can't keep up with the rhythm!" Shearer said.
Mortensen also nodded slightly, agreeing very much.
The faces of the Leeds United fans at the scene were very ugly, and they all stared at the stadium with livid faces. This situation was really terrible, and they really couldn't stand it anymore.
At this time, they immediately shouted in unison, "get out of class is over! Warnock is out of class! Get out! Warnock is out!"
Yes, they can no longer tolerate their head coach.
This guy doesn't know anything at all, so get out of here right away.
Boom!
Pogba received the ball in response to Heskey at the edge of the penalty area and fired directly towards the ball. The football roared out and flew straight towards the Leeds United goal.
Leeds United fans were stunned!
Snapped!
Former Irish player Kenny suddenly flew out and saved Pogba's world wave with one palm. The Leeds United fans at the scene were very excited and excited. They immediately jumped up and shouted "Ken"
I heard Ni's name and applauded wildly.
Beautiful, this save is simply amazing.
Without Kenny in this game, Leeds United would have been defeated. Warnock, please be more careful. If Kenny hadn't saved you, you would have been finished!
Corner kick!
Crystal Palace continues to get corner kick opportunities!
At this time, the game has only started twenty minutes, and the Crystal Palace team has already received 7 corner kick opportunities. You can imagine how strong this pressure is!
Leeds United's defenders were really overwhelmed.
Beads of sweat oozed out from the foreheads of the two central defenders.
These two guys also felt tremendous pressure, which was much greater than when they played against other teams. The physical exertion of these twenty minutes was just like the half-time of other games. The opponent's pressing attack was really
It's too strong.
Danger, Leeds United are in danger!
Robertson suddenly made a quick kick and quickly pushed the football into the penalty area. Zaha, who rushed out quickly, did not stop the ball, but quickly pushed the football back to Robertson who rushed in. Robertson did not stop the ball and started directly.
He made an arcing pass with his foot.
In the middle, Pogba rushed in at high speed, jumped high, and overpowered Rees in the take-off, coming like a giant to the top.
With a bang, the football flew into the Leeds United goal like a stream of light.
