At the end of the first half, the score was one to one.
Crystal Palace drew with Chelsea away from home.
But from the scene, it looked like Chelsea drew with Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace still had some advantages on the scene, but Chelsea was slightly passive, which made the Chelsea fans at the scene tremble with fear.
However, Chelsea fans are very familiar with Mourinho's playing style, so they are really not particularly worried.
The ones who are actually worried are Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace coaching staff.
They all saw that the players on the team were not in very good condition.
Otherwise, they would have scored at least two goals in this game.
During the halftime break, Tong Yi asked the Crystal Palace players to adjust for the second half of the game. .??.
They still have a chance to win this game.
However, Tong Yi also reminded the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to Chelsea's counterattack.
Mourinho, the coach, is very good at defensive counterattacks, and their counterattack speed is also very fast. You must concentrate and don't take it lightly. Otherwise, the Crystal Palace goal will be very dangerous.
The Crystal Palace players all said they knew.
Tong Yi also nodded slightly, trusting his players.
Soon, the intermission time passed, and players from both sides entered the stadium one after another.
The second half of the game between the two sides is about to begin.
Before the start of the second half, Chelsea made substitution adjustments.
Mourinho replaced No. 10 Mata with No. 11 Oscar. Obviously, this is a signal to strengthen the attack. Oscar's passing and organizational skills are stronger. Obviously, this is a signal to strengthen the counterattack.
Tong Yi reminded the Crystal Palace players on the court to pay attention to defense.
Just five minutes into the second half, this substitution had the effect it was supposed to have.
Crystal Palace midfielder Ramirez stole the football and then passed it directly to the other side. The football rolled directly to Oscar's feet. Oscar grabbed the ball before Kanter rushed up and passed the ball directly over the head without stopping.
A long pass, the football accurately fell in front of Torres.
Torres repeated his old trick this time and volleyed directly into the air.
The football roars out, the quality is extremely high!
With a bang, the football was saved directly from the bottom line by Edouard Mendy who flew out!
hiss!
All the Chelsea fans at the scene were filled with regret and very regretful.
Torres also completed the goal very well, and the quality was as good as his first shot. Unfortunately, this time Crystal Palace goalkeeper Edouard reacted very quickly and saved the ball directly from the bottom line.
If it hadn't been for Edward's amazing save, this goal would have definitely been scored!
Mourinho on the sidelines also felt it was a pity, but he still applauded fiercely and gave the applause to Torres, indicating that Torres performed well and continued to play like this.
Corner kick, Chelsea got a corner kick opportunity.
Then, Mourinho set his sights on Kante. He felt that this The boy is very powerful, simply too perverted, and is his favorite defensive midfielder. To be honest, he has a very strong interest in Kante, and he feels that Kante can 100% replace Essien.
After the game, he felt that he needed to go find Tong Yi and talk about the introduction of Kanter.
Corner kick!
Oscar drove the football into the small penalty area of the Crystal Palace with a curved kick. Edward directly raised it high, picked the football off Terry's head, and held it tightly in his arms.
Edward really wanted to launch a quick counterattack, but unfortunately he was interfered by Torres, Ramirez and others, and there was no chance to launch a quick counterattack at all.
Therefore, Edward had to give up the decision of fast break.
After the players on both sides were in position, Edouard accurately sent the football to the head of Lukaku in the frontcourt. Lukaku jumped up directly with Louis on his back, headed the ball across, and the football flew quickly.
Towards Salah who is pushing forward!
Salah directly volleyed sideways without stopping the ball. The football roared out and anti-aircraft cannons were fired.
Salah put his hands on his hips and shook his head.
His condition today is indeed not very good, and he has tried his best to adjust, but the effect is not very satisfactory.
Salah immediately raised his hand to express his apology to Lukaku, saying that the ball belonged to him.
Lukaku seemed very generous and signaled that it was okay.
Chelsea attacked here and Cech also kicked the ball away.
Unfortunately, Torres in the frontcourt did not push the ball at all, and was pushed out by Van Dijk who rushed out.
The football came to Pogba's feet, he held up the rushing Ramirez, and then quickly passed the football back.
Kante rushed up and made a diagonal pass. The football drew an arc close to the turf. He bypassed Chelsea's Oscar and rolled behind him. Mane received the ball and cut directly inside, heading towards Chelsea's penalty area.
.
Mourinho was very nervous on the sidelines. He jumped up and called on the players to defend seriously.
Chelsea's defensive players immediately followed up and intercepted.
Mane suddenly made a diagonal pass and made a direct arc, passing the football to Salah who was running forward from the other wing.
Salah got ahead of Ivanovic, stopped the football with his chest, and then volleyed.
With a bang, the football roared out, higher than the crossbar.
Salah missed the target due to Ivanovic's personal interference, and he directly fired anti-aircraft guns.
Salah kept shaking his head and raised his hand to indicate to Mane that it was his problem.
Tong Yi frowned slightly on the sidelines.
"Boss, Mohammed's condition is not very good in this game. Should we make adjustments?" Suddenly, Campbell came to Tong Yi's side and suggested.
"Let Wilfred go warm up!" Tong Yi said directly without turning his head.
Campbell nodded immediately and then turned to ask Zaha to warm up.
Three minutes later, Crystal Palace also made a substitution. They replaced Salah with Zaha who was in poor condition.
This guy Zaha is holding back his energy. He wants to clear his name to Tong Yi. Zaha is no worse than Salah. Zaha should be the starting player of Crystal Palace, not Salah.
Salah's performance in this game was very poor, and this was his good opportunity.
Zaha is very active and dedicated.
As soon as he came up, he got a good opportunity. Pogba in the midfield directly sent the football in front of Zaha who was advancing. He had already entered the penalty area, which was an excellent opportunity.
!
Boom!
Just when Zaha was throwing his legs, Luis took the lead and kicked the football directly out of the sideline, making a successful clearance.
Zaha is still half a beat too slow!
Zaha was very angry and regretful. What a great opportunity this was. It was really a pity.
However, Zaha will not give up, he must score in this game.
After the sideline ball was thrown, Zaha suddenly dodged and moved continuously on the left wing to break through the defense of the three people and went directly into Chelsea's penalty area. This frightened the Chelsea fans and turned them pale. Fortunately, Zaha
This guy was so confident that the ball was a little too big in the last step, and then the ball was destroyed by Luis's first kick and went out of the sideline.
Zaha is really very regretful. If he had restrained himself a little in the last moment, the goal would not have been scored. This goal should have been scored.
pity!
Zaha scratched her hair hard, feeling regretful.
At this time, Chelsea had already stolen the ball and started to counterattack. After Hazard continuously broke through the defenders on the wing, he suddenly passed the football to the back of the penalty area. Torres quickly rushed forward, fell to the ground and tackled hard, shooting fiercely.
Shoveling the football towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Unfortunately, before him, Edward's hand touched the football first and directly blocked the football from the baseline.
Chelsea also missed a very good opportunity.
Torresyes immediately raised his hand and apologized to Hazard. The ball belonged to him. If he had been a little faster, he would have had the ball.
They also missed a great opportunity!
In this game, the two teams really went back and forth, and it was very suspenseful. The fans on both sides of the scene were very nervous, and many people were even speechless. They were all nervous.
Watch what's going on inside the stadium.
Twenty-five minutes of the first half of the game have passed, and there are still the last twenty minutes left.
There are not many opportunities left for both teams.
Substitution, Chelsea directly replaced Willian with Schürrle, continuing to strengthen the offensive power in the frontcourt. Obviously, Mourinho is going to continue to strengthen counterattacks and offense.
Mourinho wants to win this game, and he thinks they have a high chance of winning this game.
So, he fought hard.
Obviously, the same is true here at Crystal Palace I won't give up, so the next game will be interesting.
Crystal Palace's offense once again came near Chelsea's penalty area. After Pogba and Paulinho passed the ball continuously, Paulinho suddenly moved forward with the ball, crushing the two defenders like a tank.
A sudden shot was fired at the edge of the penalty area, and the football missed the left post and flew out of the baseline.
Just a hair’s breadth!
Mourinho and Chelsea fans were shocked speechless.
It's really too dangerous.
Mourinho immediately reminded Chelsea players to pay attention to defense and not give the Crystal Palace players a chance.
But at this time, Chelsea still counterattacked defensively and adopted a defensive posture.
Sure enough, driving the bus is Mourinho's daily routine.
At this time, Chelsea fans are unwilling to give up. Do you really want to choose to be conservative at this time and give up the idea of winning? If this is the case, they will be very angry.
However, they themselves also know very well that Mourinho can do this.
Perhaps Mourinho thinks a draw is acceptable.
However, Chelsea fans couldn't accept it. They felt that Crystal Palace should win this game and get three points at home. So they shouted crazily and cheered for the Chelsea players, hoping that the Chelsea people could
Bring them a victory.
With a bang, Lukaku fired directly at the red goal, and the ball missed slightly.
The Crystal Palace people's attack was really too fierce, and the Chelsea people themselves felt that it was very dangerous. They, Chelsea, were a bit unsure about this game and couldn't win it.
