Today's game is the first game of Crystal Palace's return to the Premier League, and it is also the first Premier League game of Tong Yi's career. This is naturally very attractive, attracting many people to come to watch this game.
.
Live camera footage even captured Sir Alex Ferguson sitting in front of Selhurst Park.
This surprised everyone.
Ferguson did not appear at Old Trafford yesterday, but now he appears at Selhurst Park for the first time.
This is really unexpected.
Is it possible that in Ferguson's eyes, Tong Yi's matter is more important than Moyes or Manchester United?
In addition to Ferguson, Beckham and other football celebrities were sitting in the stands. It seemed that they had come in a group with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Boom!
In the stadium, Lennon on the wing saw Soldado running forward in the center and directly crossed the ball at a 45-degree angle.
The football whizzed straight into the Crystal Palace penalty area.
Danger!
The Tottenham Hotspur fans who came from afar stretched their heads forward excitedly, staring closely at the football flying in the stadium. The football flew straight towards Sol.
On Daduo's head.
The ball is there!
Soldado saw the ball coming and was ready to head the ball towards the goal.
Boom!
But at this moment, Cavalu suddenly got stuck in front of Soldado, pushed the football over the baseline, and successfully made a clearance.
hiss!
Everyone at the scene was shocked!
This guy Carvalho appeared too timely. He directly blocked Soldado behind him at the critical moment, and then headed the ball to clear the ball. If Carvalho had been a little slower, this ball would have been very dangerous for Crystal Palace.
Bang bang bang!
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene gave applause to veteran Carvalho.
"Wow, with his incredible defensive timing and excellent blocking ability, this is still the Carvalho we are familiar with. Although he is now 35 years old, his strength does not seem to have declined significantly, at least in
This time the defense is like this!" Mortensen was a little surprised, surprised by Carvalho's performance.
"Indeed, Carvalho's defense really left a deep impression on us. Of course, we did not expect that Carvalho would be able to get the starting position in Crystal Palace. David was really too bold.
Can Valho's grade and physical fitness support him to complete a normal game? I think it's still a bit uncertain!" Shearer also said in surprise.
However, it is obvious that he still doesn't think highly of Carvalho.
Carvalho is indeed too old. In a high-intensity and high-tempo game like the Premier League, it will be difficult for him to maintain a normal game, right?
And Tottenham Hotspur will definitely take advantage of this point of his attack.
If you look at the attack just now, Soldado obviously moved towards Carvalho on his own initiative, obviously targeting Carvalho. They also firmly believe that in a high-intensity and high-tempo game, they will take turns attacking the card.
Vallo, it won't take long In time, Carvalho's physical fitness will reach its bottom, and Carvalho's defense will have problems.
It can be seen that Boas has really studied the Crystal Palace thoroughly.
Having said that, Villas-Boas is a pretty good coach. He almost won the Triple Crown in Porto.
And he should be very familiar with Tong Yi.
Because they had played against each other in the Europa League final, Villas-Boas should have a deep understanding of Tong Yi's tactics. Therefore, he should have a special target for this game.
Perhaps in Villas-Boas's view, Carvalho is the most obvious weakness of this Crystal Palace team, so they seized on Carvalho and launched a crazy attack.
Soldado had no expression on his face, turned around and walked to the back of the penalty area, preparing to attack.
Carvalho immediately turned around and followed up, sticking closely to Soldado. It was obvious that he was here to defend Tottenham Hotspur's main center today.
Corner kick!
Lennon stood in the corner kick area and glanced at the penalty area. He raised his right hand high and raised three fingers, reminding his teammates in the penalty area that this was their No. 3 corner kick tactic.
In the penalty area, Tottenham Hotspur's players understood the situation clearly and were all preparing to launch an attack.
beep!
The referee blew his whistle, and Lennon rushed out of the corner kick, then hit the football hard with his kick.
With a bang, the football flew out quickly, drawing a wonderful arc.
"Back point!" Suddenly Edward roared loudly in the penalty area, and at the same time, he quickly moved towards the back point of the penalty area.
The Crystal Palace players in the penalty area also rushed towards the back of the penalty area nervously.
Soldado, who was at the back of the penalty area, immediately rushed forward and prepared to take off.
But just as he rushed up, a wall stood directly in front of him, and Soldado frowned.
Soldado gritted his teeth, pushed forward, and then rushed over quickly.
Toot toot!
The referee directly blew his whistle to signal Tottenham Hotspur forward Soldado to commit a pushing foul.
"Wow, that's really good! Carvalho once again blocked Tottenham's Spanish forward in a key position. It was really amazing. He is still top-notch in blocking defense.
Ah! More importantly, his defensive position selection and grasp of defensive timing are really perfect. Hiss, it’s amazing. Now I finally know why Tong Yi fought against all the opinions to introduce Carvalho. He
It is indeed very powerful!" Mortensen said in surprise.
To be honest, Carvalho's performance exceeded his expectations.
In fact, Carvalho's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.
Everyone thought that the 35-year-old Carvalho's ability and body should have declined to the point where he could no longer watch, but who knew
It's really amazing that he can still maintain such a good condition now.
"Of course, Carvalho is indeed old. I don't think he can persist in normal games. Now he can indeed have some advantages, but as the game progresses, his control will become weaker and weaker, and even
Later, it will become a big colander for Crystal Palace's defense. This is a potential threat to Crystal Palace!" Shearer said.
This is why Boas is not worried at all at this time and is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
In their opinion, Carvalho could not maintain such a state for the whole game, and even he would not be able to do it in the second half of the game. In the first half of the game, they attacked Carvalho crazily, draining all of Carvalho's energy.
Attrition, the second half of the game is their time to harvest.
Not five minutes later, Tottenham's attack struck again.
This time, they had already hit the football to Carvalho's defense and sent the football directly to Soldado's feet.
After holding the ball, Soldado immediately rushed towards Cava Road with the ball.
Soldado wanted to use his speed and skills to break through Carvalho, tear apart Crystal Palace's defense, and score a goal.
Soldado is very confident in his own strength.
But Carvalho, as a deep-lying central defender, is not worried at all.
Carvalho's frontal defensive ability is still very good, especially the success rate of single defense against technical forwards is still very high. Therefore, Carvalho is really not worried at all.
Carvalho's eyes were fixed on Soldado's feet, staring at the football, looking for opportunities.
At this moment, Soldado suddenly made a cross pass and actually passed the football to the feet of Shadley who came in diagonally.
Take him by surprise, sound in the east and strike in the west.
This was beyond the expectations of everyone present. They all thought that Soldado was going to challenge Carvalho.
Many people at the scene did not react.
But Shadley, who followed, reacted quickly. As soon as he rushed up, he hit the football with his kick and hit the goal with a heavy kick from the penalty area.
With a bang, the football immediately flew towards the Crystal Palace goal like a cannonball.
The Tottenham Hotspur fans screamed with excitement, the ball was scored!
Boom!
The football that just flew out was directly blocked by the flying leg of the Crystal Palace center back Van Dijk.
hiss!
Everyone was shocked!
None of them expected that Van Dijk would react so quickly. Did he expect that Soldado would pass the ball? When Shadley rushed to the football, he was already in place to defend, and then the defense behind him
It's just a matter of course.
hiss!
Van Dijk is also very good at grasping defensive timing and defensive choices.
This defense is very powerful.
Bang bang bang! The Crystal Palace fans at the scene immediately applauded Van Dijk. This young man's performance really made them very satisfied and very happy. It seems that their head coach Tong Yi's vision is not wrong. This Van Dijk
Dick is also a genius. As long as he is given some time, Van Dijk will definitely amaze the entire Premier League.
Corner kick, Tottenham continued to get corner kick opportunities.
Lennon appeared in the corner again, his eyes just staring into the penalty area.
Then, he took a quick run-up and kicked the football hard to the front of the penalty area.
Soldado rushed up quickly and fired directly with his legs, sweeping the football towards the goal.
With a bang, Soldado directly missed the football due to Carvalho's interference, and the football concentrated on the side net of the goal. The Tottenham fans were very sorry, they all felt very
What a pity, this ball should have been there.
pity.
From the start of the game until now, Tottenham Hotspur's offense has been very sharp, which makes the Tottenham fans who came from afar very happy. They feel that if this continues, they will definitely win this game.
Tottenham fans came from afar to cheer the team crazily, and they firmly believed that they would be able to score a goal next time.
At this moment, Edward drove towards the frontcourt with a big kick.
Lukaku in the frontcourt directly jumped up high with Jedinak beside him, and with a flick of his head, he passed the football directly to Salah who was advancing from the wing.
This is also Salah's first league game on behalf of Crystal Palace. The fans and reporters at the scene are full of interest in Salah and want to see how powerful this genius Tong Yi is interested in?
This guy performed very well in the Swiss Super League last season, posting a double-double.
Now football is flying towards the young Salah, and Walker takes it very seriously and is very serious.
Although others may underestimate Salah, Walker will not!
Because Walker has played under Tong Yi for several years, he knows Tong Yi very well. The young players Tong Yi likes are definitely very good, so he attaches great importance to them and does not dare to do so at all.
Neglect.
Even though it looked like it was a half-goal, Walker didn't rush to grab it rashly.
To be honest, Salah was also a little surprised.
He had already thought about it. When Walker rushed up, he would poke the football out immediately, and one person would pass it over and pass the opponent. But Walker was as steady as an old man and did not spread out at all. So, Salah
I had to give up this idea and prepare to stop the football.
Walker immediately lowered his center and was ready to pounce to intercept.
But at this moment, Salah took a look at Mane who was quickly moving forward in the space on the other side!
Chance!
Before the football could land, Salah suddenly swiped the football and quickly passed the football diagonally to the back of the penalty area.
