Today, Brighton has changed a lot from the first round match between the two sides. They even changed their formation.
It can be seen that Tarico wants to put his own mark on this Brighton team, completely abandoning the tactics of his predecessor Poyet. There have also been great changes in the starting lineup, in the central defender position.
Dunk, the young man who started last time, was discarded.
Dunk performed very poorly in the first round of the match between the two sides and was sent off with a red card.
After that game, he rarely had the opportunity to play.
Because the head coach Poyet who valued him was fired, Tarico didn't attach much importance to him and even disliked him, so he had very few opportunities.
He is truly an emperor and a courtier!
He was replaced by Upson. Upson has a rich resume. He has played for Arsenal many times and also played for Crystal Palace. He came to Brighton during the winter transfer. He is an experienced central defender with outstanding strength.
, he became the main central defender as soon as he arrived at Brighton and was Tarico's reliance.
The right back has also changed. The experienced right back Bridge, who was transferred in the winter and has played for Manchester City, has become the team's main force.
Obviously, in order to impact the Premier League, Brighton spent a lot of money on transfers this winter.
It can be seen that the team's top management supports Tarico very strongly.
If he cannot lead the team to promotion this season, he will really be finished.
In the midfield, Lopez, who has played in La Liga, started today. He should be able to form a very good attacking combination with Calderon and Orlandi. Also, Lualua, who was injured in the first round of the two sides, has returned from injury.
, it’s too difficult to start today.
Up front is Ulloa, whom Tarico introduced during the winter transfer.
Ulloa is an Argentinian center imported from Almeria in the Spanish Second Division. In the first half of the season, he played 18 league games in the Spanish Second Division and scored a goal. With 4 goals, his status has declined. Because last season, he played 38 times in the Spanish Second Division and scored 28 goals, making him the team's first center forward.
Due to his decline in form, the team sold him to Brighton.
However, after coming to Brighton, Ulloa performed very well. He scored in his first game with the team and scored a hat-trick in the 35th round of the English Championship this season.
Helped the team beat Huddersfield 4-1.
Even in the last round of the game, Ulloa scored twice.
Ulloa has been in very good form recently, which makes Brighton fans full of confidence. They think they have a chance to win this game because they have Ulloa!
Tarico is also full of confidence in their team, and he also firmly believes that Brighton will definitely win this game.
Although it may appear that they have a 4231 defensive formation, it is not.
From the beginning of the game, Brighton launched a ferocious attack.
They not only want to win, but also want revenge!
They not only want to win this game, but also want to win big!
Brighton fans howled wildly, reminding Brighton players to attack crazily, press forward, and not give Crystal Palace a chance to breathe, to let them understand who has the final say here.
Seeing Brighton's tactics in the stadium, Tong Yi was slightly shocked.
He didn't expect Brighton to make such a choice.
When he saw their formation, Tong Yi would have thought that the Brighton people would defend and counterattack. If that were the case, it would be a little troublesome for the Crystal Palace. But if Brighton attacked, it would be a problem for the Crystal Palace people.
It's much easier.
The Brighton people are not very strong. The Brighton people misestimated their strength.
After the game started, it seemed that Brighton had taken the absolute initiative and frequently threatened the Crystal Palace penalty area. However, many times, the football at their feet was cut off at the edge of the penalty area, and their offense came to an abrupt halt.
Stop. Their only shot was a long shot, which posed no threat to Edward.
However, Brighton looked very good on the scene and had an absolute advantage.
Tarico on the sidelines kept nodding his head when he saw this, yes, if we continue to play like this, our Brighton team will definitely win.
The Brighton fans at the scene were howling with excitement and supporting their team. They wished they could rush into the field to help their players play.
We at Brighton must win this game!
We in Brighton are the kings of Route 23!
Boom!
Calderon, who came up from Brighton's wing, passed the ball into the penalty area of Crystal Palace. In the penalty area, Laporte jumped high and pushed Ulloa so hard that Ulloa couldn't even
There is no chance to shake your head.
With a bang, the football hit Ulloa's head, and it immediately changed direction and quickly missed the goal and flew out of the baseline.
Too far!
Edward didn't react at all! ??
Bang bang bang!
The Brighton fans at the scene gave Ulloa thunderous applause. He felt that if he continued to play like this, Ulloa would definitely score, and Brighton would definitely win this game.
Tarico saw hope and signaled Brighton's players to attack in a big way and besiege the Crystal Palace team.
They want to show momentum at their home court to avenge the massacre in the first round.
Seeing this, Tong Yi shook his head slightly, Brighton will definitely lose this game!
The Brighton defense line is getting higher and higher, and the back line is a bit empty. The Brighton people have not noticed it. Maybe Tarico has noticed it, but he does not think that Crystal Palace can attack here. After all, now
It is they who have the absolute advantage.
attack!
Keep attacking!
In the stadium, Brighton midfielder Lopez held the ball past Pogba who rushed towards him. He was very confident in his skills at his feet...
Boom, the football under Lopez's feet was knocked out by Kanter who suddenly appeared in front of him.
The football quickly rolled to Pogba's feet. Pogba immediately turned around and quickly held the ball forward.
Counterattack, Crystal Palace’s counterattack is coming!
Tarico's face was very ugly, and he showed his teeth and claws to signal his players to quickly return to defense.
Brighton's players immediately retreated crazily, following the pace of Murray, Zaha and Mane who were advancing forward, preventing these guys from receiving the ball. They knew that as long as these guys did not receive the ball,
, their goal will not be threatened.
Seeing the defensive player retreating crazily, Pogba's anger rose in his heart.
How dare you ignore me?
good!
Pogba, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, suddenly shot from a position thirty-three meters away from the goal. The football flew towards Brighton's goal.
Pogba had no one to intercept and interfere within a five-meter radius, and he completed the shot very comfortably.
The quality of this shot was very high. The football flew past quickly and flew directly into the upper right corner of the goal!
Kushchak flew sideways immediately, but did not touch the football at all. The angle of Pogba's long shot was too tricky.
World wave!
The football flew straight into the upper right corner of Brighton's goal!
In the 36th minute of the first half, the balance of the game was broken. Crystal Palace scored, and it was Pogba who scored!
The Brighton fans were very angry. They immediately roared crazily and cursed the head coach of the game. Damn it, Tarico, look what you did?
Tarico's face was also livid. He immediately came to the sidelines and waved frantically to signal the Brighton people to attack madly.< br>
Brighton's players pressed wildly, leaving the back empty. At the end of the first half, the Crystal Palace people once again seized an opportunity. Kante, who stole the ball in the backcourt, actually sent a precise long pass.
.Murray in the frontcourt got ahead of Upson and passed the header to Mane who followed up.
Mane did not stop the ball and directly volleyed sideways. The football flew through Kushchak's goal and flew into the goal.
Two to zero!
The Brighton fans looked very ugly, and the scene was completely silent!
Tarico's expression became even more gloomy.
At the beginning of the second half, under Tong Yi's signal, Crystal Palace, which was leading by two goals, unexpectedly took the lead, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Brighton's players were also unexpected, and there were loopholes in the defense.
After Zaha received the ball, he went directly into the penalty area. After attracting the defense, he pushed the football flat into the middle.
Murray, who followed closely, fell to the ground and shoveled the football into Brighton's goal.
Three to zero!
massacre!
Crystal Palace are going to massacre Brighton again!
The Brighton fans were very angry, very angry, and uniformly shouted "get out of class is dismissed, Tarico is dismissed!"
Tariko's face was pale and his eyes were angry and fierce.
This game absolutely cannot go on like this. The offense is all on me, so I must bring the score back.
With a bang, all Brighton players rushed into the Crystal Palace half and attacked crazily.
Not to mention, during this period of time Brighton's offense was still very series, which caused a lot of trouble for the Crystal Palace people. Especially this guy Ulloa was in very good condition. He shot twice in a row.
It was slightly wide. Even last time, he got ahead of Van Dijk and headed the ball hard into the goal post of the Crystal Palace goal.
Brighton people are also unlucky!
Otherwise, he could still score the Crystal Palace goal.
If this goal had been scored, the outcome of the game would have definitely gone in another direction.
Brighton played a very good game during this period and had many opportunities. Unfortunately, they did not seize the opportunity. Edward's condition today is also very good. The successive divine servants will definitely win the opponent.
The shot was saved.
This made Speroni on the bench very anxious!
Edouard's condition is so good that at this time, head coach Tong Yi probably won't replace Edouard as the team's starting goalkeeper with himself who has just recovered from injury.
Speroni felt helpless. His injury really came at the wrong time!
Just when the game was about to end, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity.
Zaha drove the football into Brighton's penalty area with a curved kick. Laporte jumped high in the penalty area and headed the ball successfully, changing the score to 4-0!
In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Brighton 4-0 in an away game and swept Brighton again, proving that they are the kings of Road 23!
