He had just deceived Cahill crazily, and then deceived him again. This man is really cunning!
Courtois really didn't expect that Mane's second kick would be so fast. There was only a second or two difference between Mane's first kick and his shot. Wasn't he afraid that his first kick would go sideways?
In that case, you will appear on the flight path of the football and be able to save it.
It seems that I am still very powerful in Ma's heart. What Ma expected in his heart is that he will not be fooled the first time.
damn it!
Courtois actually thought at this time that it would be great if he wasn't so good!
This ball can be saved!
"ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..." Mortensen roared excitedly, and the Crystal Palace fans at the scene and in front of the TV jumped up excitedly and cheered wildly.
Scored!
No one thought of it!
"Less than two minutes into the game, Crystal Palace scored. What a dream start!"
"Before the game, who could have imagined that the game would start like this?"
"Crystal Palace really gave us a huge surprise. Goretzka is really not much worse than De Bruyne. His control in the midfield and his ability to pass and organize attacks are really outstanding.
Ah. The scheduling and through ball of this ball are both master-level, very powerful! No wonder he can perform so well in the cup!" Mortensen was very excited, and his voice was trembling.
Tong Yi on the sidelines was not as excited as everyone thought, he just waved his hand symbolically, as if he had anticipated the ball.
Fill the cup!
Chelsea fans all felt that Tong Yi was pretending to be a trophy. They just couldn't get used to the fact that Tong Yi was so angry inside but looked calm on the outside!
Really damn!
Mourinho on the sidelines was very excited. He quickly rushed to the sidelines, bared his teeth and roared loudly into the stadium. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with Cahill's defense and treated Cahill like this.
The defense raised a lot of questions and I was very dissatisfied.
Cahill lowered his head on the court and held his right back waist with his hand.
Obviously, what happened just now involved his old injury.
Seeing this, Mourinho didn't know what to say.
However, he is really dissatisfied with the team's defense.
He had already turned around and walked towards the coaching bench, but he couldn't hold it back anymore. He turned around and roared at the Chelsea players in the stadium, asking them to concentrate and defend seriously.
In the stadium, Chelsea players nodded one after another to express their understanding.
Seeing this, Mourinho felt a little relieved.
However, at this time, Mourinho did not realize that Tong Yi had seen through his ideas and tactics long ago, and he still It is a reminder that Chelsea's defense players continue to block the two wingers, preventing the two wingers from passing the ball easily, and preventing the tall man Ignacio in the middle from having a chance to compete for a header.
Because at this time, Mourinho saw the pressure on Cahill and Terry.
This Ignacio is really too tall and his body is too strong.
More importantly, he is tall and strong and is not bulky at all. He turns around very quickly and is also very fast without the ball. He is really a very difficult guy to guard!
When Mourinho saw Ignacio with his own eyes, he realized why Tong Yi was so optimistic about Ignacio.
To be honest, Mourinho was moved.
Is this more impactful than Drogba's from World of Warcraft?
To be honest, Mourinho wants to bring Ignacio to his Chelsea.
Ignacio has almost no shortcomings except for his rough foot skills and no ability to attack on his own with the ball. He can also be a sharp knife for quick counterattacks because he is fast.
Chelsea's players in the frontcourt are so good at holding the ball that Ignacio hardly needs to hold the ball by himself. He only needs to use his strong body, flexible turns, and super impactful movement to prepare for the pass from his teammates.
The ball is just fine.
Moreover, this guy also has a very strong heading ability.
He is capable of both positional warfare and counterattack.
sharp!
The more he thought about it, the more Mourinho wanted to bring Ignacio to Chelsea. In fact, this intensity even exceeded his intention to point to Lukaku.
Suddenly, Mourinho understood Tong Yi.
If it were him, he would not spend 40 million pounds to introduce Lukaku. After all, they already have Ignacio in the team. There is really no need to spend another 40 million pounds.
It is true that Ignacio is not as good as Lukaku now and his experience is not sufficient, but Ignacio's future is bright.
When Ignacio grows up, there will be very few central defenders who can handle Ignacio in the future!
Mourinho is keeping an eye on Tong Yi. Should he wait until the game is over to talk to Tong Yi about Ignacio's transfer?
"Hey, it's dangerous, Chelsea is in danger again!" Suddenly, Mortensen roared in horror.
The Chelsea fans at the scene also roared with concern.
Mourinho was awakened. He immediately turned his head and looked into the stadium, and his expression instantly became angry. What are you doing?
What kind of bullshit defense is this?
At this moment, the Crystal Palace players who were pressing high up suddenly succeeded in pressing in the midfield. Kanter easily cut off the football from Oscar's feet, and then sent the football to Goretzka's feet.
Goretzka immediately turned around, quickly turned sideways, and looked at Zhang Linpeng coming up from the edge.
Yes, from the perspective of the Chelsea defensive players, Goretzka must be looking for Zhang Linpeng on the wing this time, so that Zhang Linpeng, who is on the wing, can directly kick the ball and find Ignacio, the high point in the penalty area.
After all, Ignacio's advantage in the penalty area is too great, so it is really a waste to escape.
Moreover, before the game, Mourinho reminded that the focus of their defense is on the two wings. Never let the two full-backs of Crystal Palace easily catch the ball and cross easily. Therefore, Chelsea's defense
The players really care.
Full-back Azpilicueta immediately moved over and went up the wing to intercept Zhang Linpeng, even trying to block Zhang Linpeng's line of receiving the ball.
But at this moment, Goretzka made another move and directly inserted the football into the space between Azpilicueta and Cahill. Because there, Mane stepped forward again.
.
Same routine, same recipe.
The ball has arrived and the people have arrived!
Seeing this, Mourinho almost vomited!
How do you defend? Cahill, why don't you remember it? Azpilicueta pounced, you should lean over here, fill the gap, block this position, and prevent Mane from advancing forward
It's empty.
As for after you make the save, someone will fill the space behind you, including John Terry and defensive midfielder Matic.
What are you doing?
Cahill realized that he was slow and took a step too late, allowing Goretzka and Mane to succeed.
This time Cahill rushed forward quickly, leaving no room for Mane to make a move.
However, just when he was about to pounce in front of Mane, Mane suddenly and gently poked the football forward, and the football quickly rolled past Cahill's crotch and towards his back.
Cahill didn't panic at all and passed the ball.
The ball rolled past goalkeeper Courtois behind him, and Mane had no chance at all.
But the moment the football rolled out, Mane's body suddenly moved sideways like lightning, very fast, and he was about to bypass Cahill's defense and chase the football in an instant.
Cahill misjudged the speed of Mane's change of direction, so he became a little nervous for a moment.
He couldn't let Mane break through so easily, because he knew very well that it would take time for Courtois behind him to attack. At this time, let Mane pass, and Courtois was running halfway. At that time
, Mane is very embarrassed when holding the ball and Courtois is unable to advance or retreat, which is dangerous.
Therefore, when he saw Mane's lightning change direction laterally, Cahill subconsciously turned sideways and pushed his hips to intercept Mane's forward movement.
With a bang, Mane instantly fell into the Chelsea penalty area.
Cahill's pupils dilated and his heart was shocked.
Fear!
He glanced at Mane who fell to the ground, and then immediately looked up at Clattenburg, the referee of the game.
Seeing Clattenburg put the whistle into his mouth, he immediately raised his hands for no reason and looked at Clattenburg with an aggrieved look, as if to express his feelings to Clattenburg. Didn't touch Mane, Mane was just diving.
beep!
Every time Clattenburg hesitated, he blew the whistle, and the players from both teams immediately looked at Clattenburg.
They are all speculating whether Cahill committed a foul this time or Mane dived?
Both Tong Yi and Mourinho on the sidelines became nervous.
Under the spotlight, Clattenburg pointed to the penalty spot in Chelsea's penalty area and awarded a penalty kick. Then he came to Cahill and showed Cahill a yellow card.
Cahill and the Chelsea players gave up and rushed forward to surround Clattenburg.
Cahill explained desperately that he did not touch Mane and that Mane was diving.
Clattenburg immediately pushed his crotch, indicating that Cahill had committed a foul by pushing his crotch. He also pointed to Cahill's foot, indicating that Cahill's foot had also tripped Mane's foot, causing Mane to fall.
.
He saw very clearly that this was a foul and a penalty kick.
"Penalty kick, Clattenburg awarded the penalty kick. He was very determined. It seems that he saw it very clearly. But this is not a good thing for Chelsea. If the ball is lost, Chelsea will lose this game.
There is almost no chance!" Mortensen said.
"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay to see if this is a penalty kick? Let's see!" Shearer said immediately.
They immediately watched the replay seriously with the fans in front of the TV.
After a while, Shearer said, "Judging from the slow-motion replay, Cahill did push his crotch and stretch his legs to block Mane. This was indeed a collision. But Mane's falling action was indeed a bit exaggerated.
Whether this ball is awarded a penalty by Clattenburg or Mane is awarded for diving, it has its own reasons. Therefore, it can be awarded no matter how it is awarded. If this ball is awarded a penalty kick, there will be no problem."
Cahill's hip and retreat did hit Mane on this ball, but it shouldn't have been as exaggerated as Mane's fall.
Even in the eyes of Chelsea people, Mane fell down on purpose.
This is not a penalty kick at all!
However, there was no way. Clattenburg just awarded the penalty and was very determined. Even though the Chelsea people surrounded Clattenburg and talked about it for a long time, it did not change the fact that the penalty was awarded.
Seeing this, Mourinho was very angry. He yelled on the sidelines and even received a yellow card warning.
Tong Yi nodded slightly, feeling that Mane played very smartly!
Mane walked to the penalty spot himself and took the kick himself.
Facing Courtois, Mane was really not timid at all. When he heard the whistle, he ran quickly, and then hit the ball directly with a heavy shot and hit the upper right corner of the goal.
Even Courtois, who guessed the right direction, couldn't save the football.
Two to zero.
In the 7th minute of this game, Crystal Palace scored again and expanded its lead.
