343: Taking the lead, can the championship be far behind?
Magath looked at Tong Yi across from him and fell into deep thought.
He really didn't expect that seeing Tong Yi again would be like this.
Sure enough, Tong Yi is still the talented young commander.
Magath once competed with Tong Yi for the Bundesliga title in the Bundesliga. Now, Tong Yi is still the coach competing for the title in the Premier League, and he is the coach of Magath's relegated team.
More importantly, after this game, Magath will leave his post.
You have to know that he came to Fulham less than 3 months ago!
Magath was officially announced to have arrived at Fulham today, Valentine's Day, February 14th. He is here to help Fulham avoid relegation.
It's a pity that his predecessor, Martin Jol, dug too big a hole and he failed to fill it.
Originally he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Fulham, but just this morning, Fulham executives informed Magath that after this game, the two parties will no longer continue to cooperate and the contract will be advanced.
termination.
Magath had no objection to this.
Because Magath is not yet ready to coach a British Championship team.
Therefore, this game is Magath's last game coaching Fulham, and he hopes to end it with a victory.
Fulham is still the first team he has coached after leaving. He hopes to leave a good memory for himself at the last moment, such as sniping Crystal Palace to prevent Tong Yi and Crystal Palace from winning the Premier League this season.
champion.
When he thought of this, Magath was still a little excited.
Fulham must win this London derby.
This is the order Magath gave himself, and it is also an order he gave to Fulham's players.
Fulham must win this game.
Magath stared at Tong Yi and secretly said in his heart, "I'm sorry, David! We must win this game!"
To be honest, Magath was really excited when he thought that he had blocked Tong Yi from winning the Premier League championship.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he thought to himself, "I'm looking forward to your expression when the time comes, David! Hehe!"
Tong Yi naturally didn't know what Magath was thinking, but he could see the bad intentions in Magath's eyes. Tong Yi sneered, no matter what you think, you can't stop this game.
We Crystal Palace won and won the Premier League title this season.
Tong Yi looked at Magath indifferently, and then looked directly into the stadium.
The game starts immediately!
At the same time, matches between Manchester City and West Ham United in Manchester and Liverpool against Newcastle United at Anfield are also about to begin.
All Premier League games this round kick off at the same time.
Moreover, the Premier League championship trophies of this season are now displayed at Craven Farm Stadium, Etihad Stadium and Anfield Stadium. Among them, the championship trophy at Craven Farm Stadium is authentic, while the other two stadiums are
Everything inside is a replica. Before the game, the Football Association discussed this matter in detail. Who has the greatest chance of winning? Who will win the Premier League championship this season? Naturally, they hope to send the authentic championship trophy to the final champion.
, instead of the champion holding up a replica.
No one can say who will win the championship.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Crystal Palace all hope to place genuine trophies in front of them.
In the end, they discussed and decided that according to the current ranking, whoever has the highest ranking will have the authentic trophy placed in front of him.
Therefore, the championship trophy now at Craven Farm is the real thing.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were very excited and excited when they saw the championship trophy. Countless people even jumped up and cheered excitedly.
Of course, the Crystal Palace fans also held the inflatable Premier League championship trophy in their hands. But they could not wait any longer and won the cup early. They also hoped that the Crystal Palace players could win the Premier League championship trophy this season.
.
At this moment, the Crystal Palace fans became excited.
Because, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
At the same time, all matches of this round of Premier League have officially started.
In this game, the first team to kick off is Fulham, which plays at home.
At the beginning of the game, Fulham played relatively restrained and slow. Because Magath knew very well that it was not Fulham that was anxious now, but the Crystal Palace team. The outcome of their Fulham side was a win, a draw or a loss.
It can be accepted, but Crystal Palace can only accept the result of victory.
Because the Crystal Palace people can only guarantee to win the Premier League championship this season by ensuring victory.
The chances of Manchester City and Liverpool defeating their opponents are very high, so it is impossible for Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace players to risk a straight draw.
Therefore, in this game, Crystal Palace will definitely attack hard.
Magath's side is naturally defensive and counterattack, preparing to seize the Crystal Palace people's loopholes and then give the Crystal Palace people a fatal blow.
Magath's idea is very correct.
Crystal Palace really needs a win, and Tong Yi also asked for it before the game.
Crystal Palace must win this game!
Moreover, Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace players are still very confident in their offensive strength, and it should be relatively easy to defeat Fulham.
Therefore, as soon as the game started, Crystal Palace pressed forward with full force, pressing the Fulham people crazily.
High pressure and pressing!
This is the most commonly used tactic by Crystal Palace players, so when it comes to playing, the Crystal Palace players are very comfortable. On the contrary, it is the Fulham people who feel the huge impact.
A lot of pressure because the Crystal Palace players are so fierce.
Fulham wanted to use defense to block Crystal Palace, but the Crystal Palace's fierce high-position pressure actually made them very uncomfortable.
To be honest, Fulham’s players’ passing and passing were not very smooth!
Moreover, it was difficult for Fulham's players to pass the ball forward comfortably under pressure. They had to keep passing the ball back. They even passed it back to the goalkeeper's feet crazily, allowing the goalkeeper to clear the ball with his big feet. .??.
??
In this way, Fulham has less time to control the ball at their feet.
Crystal Palace's style of play has also changed from high-position pressing tactics to attacking with the ball.
In this way, the Fulham people can play more skillfully. It is also difficult for the Crystal Palace players to find opportunities under the tight defense of the Fulham people.
But the people in Crystal Palace are not in a hurry at all, they are very patient.
Tong Yi reminded them before the game that they would definitely encounter such a problem in this game. Tong Yi asked the Crystal Palace players not to be anxious or panic, and to pass the ball faster when passing the ball.
If you are more patient when passing the ball, you will definitely be able to find the space in Fulham's defense.
After all, Fulham is not the kind of team with super strength.
If Fulham were a superior team, they would not be relegated.
Fulham's defensive strength should not be strong, and there will always be loopholes, as long as the Crystal Palace people are patient.
Therefore, the Crystal Palace players were really not in a hurry at this time. They continuously passed the ball around Fulham, passing the football from the left to the right, and then passing the football from the right to the left.
The back and forth made the Fulham fans at the scene dizzy.
They immediately booed the Crystal Palace players.
What are you doing?
Wasting time?
No, we are wearing down the patience of Fulham players and making them relax. Then Crystal Palace will seize the opportunity and give Fulham a fatal blow.
The Crystal Palace people will really paralyze the Fulham players if they are surrounding and not attacking like this. If you keep passing the ball crosswise like this, the Fulham people will feel that the Crystal Palace people will definitely not send a direct pass to score them this time.
The restoration of Fulham's penalty area.
When all Fulham players think like this, the crisis will come.
Sudden!
Without any warning, Zhang Linpeng from the wing passed the ball directly and quickly inserted the ball into Fulham's penalty area.
The Fulham players were shocked and couldn't believe it!
None of them expected that Crystal Palace would suddenly send a through ball, and they were unprepared.
Because all the Fulham players don't think it will be Zhang Linpeng's turn to play the through ball. In their opinion, the only people who will play the through ball are Pogba, Paulinho and a few others. You are a full-back, not
Are you a sideline in such an attack? Why are you the main attacker this time? ?
The Fulham fans and players at the scene were all shocked.
Magath on the sidelines was also very frightened.
To be honest, he didn't expect that the one who delivered the fatal blow would be the right back of Crystal Palace. This was really unexpected and dangerous!
Even the Crystal Palace players on the court didn't expect it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Linpeng suddenly sent a through ball and accurately sent the football to the feet of Lukaku in the penalty area.
Danger!
Fulham are in danger!
The Fulham fans at home screamed in horror, danger!
Seeing Lukaku receiving the ball, Fulham's center back Hangeland immediately rushed to block it, preventing Lukaku from taking a shot. Who knew that Lukaku, who was swinging his leg, did not take a shot, but quickly
He dunked the football horizontally behind his back, turned around like lightning, and turned to the other side.
Central defender Heitinga immediately rushed over and quickly rushed in front of Lukaku.
However, Lukaku gently pushed the football forward like lightning, and the football quickly rolled under Heitinga's legs and directly to the feet of Salah who rushed up behind Heitinga.
Salah rushed up quickly and met the ball with a blast.
The Fulham fans at the scene were extremely frightened and screamed one after another.
Magath on the sidelines was also shocked. He didn't expect Crystal Palace to be so strong. No wonder Crystal Palace can compete for the Premier League championship.
Magath immediately turned around and stared at Tong Yi.
This guy Tong Yi has grown a lot!
The football roared out and flew straight to Fulham's goal.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were very excited and excited that this goal was going to happen.
The ball went in!
In another venue, Manchester City scored a goal. Aguero scored the goal of West Ham United with a powerful shot and took the lead.
Manchester City has taken the lead, can the championship be far behind?
Snapped!
Fulham goalkeeper Stockdale took off and knocked the football out of the baseline with one palm.
oops!
The Crystal Palace fans were disappointed. What a great opportunity this goal was. And they watched helplessly as the ball was about to fly into the goal. How could Fulham's damn goalkeeper ruin our goal at this time?
Damn it!
Crystal Palace fans are really disappointed.
However, they still gave applause to the Crystal Palace players. As long as they continue to play like this, they will definitely score in this game and win this game.
"Come on, Crystal Palace, come on! Champion, we Crystal Palace are the champions!"
The Crystal Palace fans shouted in unison and cheered for the Crystal Palace fans.
