114: A head-on collision between the Premier League’s youngest starting lineups
This Tottenham Hotspur team is very young. It can be seen that Pochettino really has great ideas.
Today, Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup is very young. The oldest among them is Soldado, who was born in 1985. He is 29 years old and in his prime. The second is goalkeeper Lloris.
Born in 1986, he is 27 years old this year, and he will not turn 28 in more than half a month.
Next are the two central defenders, both born in 1987, both of whom are 27 years old.
Next is midfielder Ryan Mason, who was born in 1991 and is 23 years old this year.
Then there are Eriksen and Lamela, both of whom were born in 1992 and are 22 years old this year.
Then there are Davis and Kane, both of whom were born in 193 and are 21 years old this year.
Finally, Bentaleb and Dell were both born in 1994 and are both 20 years old this year. .??.
In other words, the average age of Tottenham Hotspur's current starting lineup is 235, which is considered very young in the entire Premier League.
Of course, the Crystal Palace opposite is even younger!
The average age of Crystal Palace's starting lineup is 223 years old, which should be the youngest average age among the starting lineups in the Premier League this season!
The duel between these two teams can also be called a competition between the two teams with the youngest average age of the starting lineup in the Premier League this season!
This is the showdown between the youthful storms of the Premier League!
Tottenham Hotspur's youngest starter is Bentaleb, who is 20 years old. Crystal Palace's youngest starter is Goretzka, who is 19 years old.
The youngest starter on Tottenham Hotspur's side is Soldado, 29 years old, while the oldest starter on Crystal Palace's side is Paulinho, 26 years old. This shows that Crystal Palace is really hotter than Tottenham.
Thorns are much younger!
However, Crystal Palace's results this season are much better than Tottenham Hotspur's.
Therefore, Crystal Palace is the strongest youth storm in the Premier League this season.
Looking at Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup, Tong Yi did not underestimate his opponent. Pochettino's vision is still very good, and Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup is also very good, still very good.
Of strength.
Of course, there is still a big difference compared to their Crystal Palace.
However, they still need to handle this game carefully.
To be honest, in Tong Yi's opinion, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield defense is still quite weak.
Especially today's two midfielders, they are obviously weak defensively, and even their characteristics are offensive. This is an opportunity for Crystal Palace!
Looking at these two people, Tong Yi felt that in this game, their Crystal Palace had a very good chance.
beep!
At this time, Taylor, the referee of this game, blew the whistle to start the game.
The first to kick off is Tottenham Hotspur, who plays at home.
Tottenham this The team played very passionately from the start. They were allowed to play because they had many young people in the team and more attacking players in the midfield. Therefore, they attacked fiercely from the start and pressed from all fronts.
This really has the momentum of a home game.
To be honest, Tong Yi had some expectations for Tottenham Hotspur's opening, and these were all in his predictions.
After all, Tottenham Hotspur are going to attack fiercely at the first sight of their formation.
In the midfielder position, two more offensive players are placed. This intention is self-evident!
To be honest, the creativity of Tottenham Hotspur's midfield combination is really needless to say. It is too strong. There are really too many players with the ability to pass and threaten the ball. The control is also very good.
Yes, the ball control ability of the midfielders is slightly weaker than Kane's, but it is not that much weaker.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, playing at home, took the initiative.
The Crystal Palace players were also pressing crazy high positions, but the effect was not very good.
The Tottenham Hotspur midfielders continued to control the ball and pass the ball, which made Crystal Palace's high press somewhat useless.
At this moment, the young man in the midfield, Bentaleb, who became Tottenham Hotspur's main defensive midfielder last season, suddenly sent a reverse long-distance diagonal ball, which directly penetrated the Crystal Palace goal.
Line of defense.
To be honest, the Crystal Palace defenders were a little surprised by Bentaleb's pass!
They didn't expect Bentaleb to pass such a ball, and they chose a route that no one expected.
Danger!
Bentaleb's unexpected diagonal pass passed the Crystal Palace defense.
The football came directly to the right side of the front court. Their Eriksen surpassed Robertson by two positions, caught the football, and glanced directly into the Crystal Palace penalty area!
Danger, this guy is going to cross!
Crystal Palace's centre-back Laporte immediately came up to him, while Van Dijk pressed tightly against Tottenham Hotspur's center Soldado!
Eriksen on the wing did indeed immediately move his legs and make a fake pass. It looked very realistic, but he still did not deceive Laporte. Eriksen was shocked in his heart, he did not expect that he
He was very surprised that such a realistic fake action did not shake Laporte away!
Is this Laporte so powerful?
However, there was no stagnation in his movements, and he was still moving smoothly!
Seeing that Laporte had not deceived him, he quickly stepped on, pulled and pushed the football with his feet, seemingly to push the football to the bottom line and pass it down. Laporte's body changed direction slightly, and Eli
Kesen immediately changed the direction of the ball with a quick spike, and passed through Laporte with a light crotch!
Laporte immediately turned sideways, trying to use his body to block the advancing Eriksen.
Who knows Erikson?
As if this guy had expected it, he dodged as he was advancing, dodged Laporte's body, and then chased the football.
Danger!
Eriksen, a guy who is not good at breakthroughs, actually passed Laporte directly.
Tong Yi on the sidelines was a little shocked.
Eriksson seems to be a fledgling boy now. He is full of energy. He looks like he is also making dangerous moves!
Sure enough, young people still dare to do actions!
Danger!
The Crystal Palace is in danger! .??.
Paulinho, who was chasing back here, immediately rushed forward. At the same time, Van Dijk in the middle still left Soldado behind and rushed towards Eriksen!
However, Eriksen did not pass the football to Soldado behind Van Dijk!
Soldado is empty!
But Eriksen did not pass the ball because he knew very well that Van Dijk, who seemed to be rushing forward like crazy, actually had a back-up plan. He blocked his own line to pass to Soldado.
If he wants to pass the ball to Soldado, it will be very risky. There is almost an 80-90% chance that the ball will be interrupted by Van Dijk.
And the distance between him and Soldado is not enough to kick the ball. If the ball is passed, the rising and falling time of the ball is enough for Crystal Palace's Van Dijk and the full-back to stick to Soldado. I have never seen it.
Edward had enough time to strike.
Therefore, Van Dijk's defense is really outstanding.
This made Eriksson very uncomfortable.
It seems like he only has one option: shooting!
However, in front of the goal, Edward blocked the angle of his shot. It seemed that he then used his legs to shoot towards the far corner.
In this case, it will be very easy to defend!
Considering Edward's reaction speed and height and arm length, the success rate of a side dive to the far corner is very high!
However, he had no time to hesitate!
This guy Van Dijk is about to rush in front of him. If he doesn't swing his legs to shoot, he won't even have a chance to shoot!
At this critical moment!
This guy Eriksen had no intention of shooting with his legs. He seemed to be deliberately waiting for Van Dijk to get closer. He suddenly made a small inverted triangle pass and directly passed the ball through the gap between Paulinho and Van Dijk.
Li passed the football directly diagonally behind him, in the middle of the penalty area.
Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder Kane rushed up quickly and met the ball with a furious shot!
All the Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene roared with excitement.
Opportunity, this is an excellent opportunity!
Eriksen's passing was so exquisite that he deceived almost everyone in the penalty area, even Soldado who was about to receive the ball.
What's more important is that this guy Kane actually understood Eriksson's intention.
r>
Even if Kane didn't understand the intention, his self-help forward thrust showed a very high ability to read the game! He was able to appear in the most critical place at the best time, which is really amazing.
It's not something ordinary people can do.
No wonder Pochettino attaches so much importance to him!
Seeing the football rolling towards him, Kane rushed forward without hesitation or delay. He just swung his leg and fired a blast!
Because he is very aware of the ability of Crystal Palace midfielder Kante. If he hesitates for a moment, the football rolling towards his feet will definitely be destroyed by Kante.
He firmly believes that Kanter can do it all.
Therefore, without any hesitation or delay, when he saw the football rolling to the best position, he quickly swung his legs and hit the football hard with one kick.
With a bang, just when Kane's round right leg was about to hit the football, the football was scooped out by a jumping leg that slid out from behind his body.
Kane took a bye and almost lost his balance and fell to the court.
He looked at his feet in horror, where Kanter's black face was clearly reflected in his eyes.
Kane suddenly became very irritable!
Houli Crab, it’s really this damn guy, damn it!
He had already taken the shot immediately, but he still didn't escape Kante's tackle. This Kante is really too perverted, it's unbelievable!
All the Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene also shot their heads with both hands, in disbelief.
They all couldn't believe that the ball was scooped out by Kanter and destroyed.
This, this, this... what about this liar?
However, Tong Yi was not happy at all at this time, because Kanter shoveled the football out instantly. But the crisis in Crystal Palace was not resolved.
The football shoveled out by Kanter actually rolled directly towards Soldado in the penalty area.
Soldado immediately volleyed with his legs!
Crystal Palace fans were stunned!
With a bang, Zhang Linpeng, who was behind Soldado, stretched out his leg first to knock the football out!
Soldado also drew nothing, and did not draw any football at all.
However, the football accidentally hit the legs of Van Dijk who was sliding to intercept Soldado's shot, then changed direction and bounced directly into the Crystal Palace goal.
The ball went in!
One to zero!
Fans from both sides didn't react for the first time, and they didn't know what happened. Then the Tottenham Hotspur fans at home jumped up excitedly, screaming and cheering excitedly, because they saw the football rolling in.
Crystal Palace's goal, Tottenham Hotspur scored!
Tottenham Hotspur are ahead of Crystal Palace!
hiss!
Tong Yi on the sidelines took a sharp breath when he saw this. This luck is really bad. Of course, Tottenham Hotspur played very well. It seems that this game is really difficult to play.
