Look, in this game, Pellegrini really made a very big adjustment, directly coming to a frontless formation. Did you see, this is the way Pellegrini found to break Tong Yi's tactics
.
In order to deal with Crystal Palace's tactics, Tottenham Hotspur head coach Pochettino directly placed three or four players in the midfield who could hold the ball, control the ball, pass the ball, and pick out the football in a small area.
Midfielder? I'm better than you. I'll put all these players in the midfield and frontcourt specifically for your high post pressure.
Pellegrini saw that Pochettino's tactics were effective, but he didn't do it to the extreme, so he lost and didn't persist to the end.
Now, Pellegrini has to take this to the extreme, that is, to put in the midfield and frontcourt such midfield attackers who can hold the ball, control the ball, press in a small area, and pick the ball loose.
players.
Look, there are almost no pure defensive players among Manchester City's frontcourt players.
Even Fernandinho has a certain ability to control and play the ball, and even has a certain ability to organize offense. Others include Milner, Yaya Toure, Nasri, and Silva
Navas and Navas are all of this type. Let me see how powerful Crystal Palace's high-position press is?
Seeing this lineup of Manchester City, Tong Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. Pellegrini really put his heart into this.
But, is it useful?
not necessarily!
The game started immediately, and Manchester City firmly controlled the football at their feet, and then advanced step by step.
Seeing this, Tong Yi shook his head slightly.
Pellegrini didn't understand this tactic, and it's a bit half-baked when he comes up with it now. To be honest, this doesn't put much pressure on Crystal Palace, nor does it have a great impact on Crystal Palace's tactics.
Of course, the impact is still there.
At present, the Crystal Palace is temporarily passive, but Tong Yi knows very well that it won't be long before the Crystal Palace can reverse the situation.
Tong Yi is really confident about this game.
At this moment, Manchester City's offense advanced to the edge of the Crystal Palace penalty area. Suddenly Kante Without realizing it, he rushed in front of Yaya Toure who was holding the ball, and with a bang, he poked the football out.
Yaya Toure stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Yaya Toure was originally going to take a long shot, but he didn't know that the football was directly stabbed out by Kante.
Yaya Toure was shocked and turned to stare at Kanter.
Kanter didn't pay attention to Yaya Toure at all, and immediately ducked past Yaya Toure and chased the football.
Unexpectedly, the football rolled directly in front of Nasri. Nasri didn't stop the ball at all and suddenly crossed it into the penalty area.
Manchester City's "forward" Silva made a diagonal stab, went directly into the penalty area, rushed towards the football, and was about to strike alone.
All the Manchester City fans stood up and were very excited.
Opportunity, perfect opportunity!
It's time to go it alone!
Boom, Silva's small body was suddenly stuck behind Van Dijk who was coming across him. He was unable to move forward and could only watch the football roll into Edward's arms.
"Wow! Miraculous and precise positioning, Van Dijk can really seize the opportunity! He blocked Silva at the most critical moment, it's amazing!" Mortensen roared in surprise,
Eyes wide open.
Van Dijk's timing of blocking was so accurate that he completely blocked Silva behind him.
Awesome, really awesome.
Even Shearer kept giving thumbs up to Van Dijk, it's really awesome!
Pellegrini frowned slightly on the sidelines, this Van Dijk...is it a coincidence?
Pellegrini immediately turned to look at Tong Yi on the sidelines, his eyes full of amazement. This guy's eyes are really envious!
Crystal Palace immediately launched a quick counterattack.
The football flew to the head of Ignacio in the frontcourt. Ignacio overpowered Demichelis who jumped up and directly shook his head to ferry him. Salah, who followed, directly swung his legs and shot from the front of the penalty area. The football was very fast.
The shot flew out from the ground and flew towards the Manchester City goal quickly.
The ball speed is very fast, like a sharp arrow leaving the string!
All the Manchester City fans at the scene had their eyes widened. They were in disbelief. Here we go again? You slapped Hart when you saw him? Do you really score goals so easily?
Fortunately, Joe Hart did not embarrass them this time!
Joe Hart showed great courage, soared into the air and saved the football from the bottom line with one palm.
Bang bang bang!
All the Manchester City fans at the scene gave Joe Hart applause. Joe Hart performed well.
Joe Hart jumped up and immediately roared with excitement.
He is really too excited, you are so cool
Are the Crystal Palace people looking down on others? Do you really think you can break our Manchester City goal with a long shot? Stop dreaming!
As long as I, Joe Hart, are here, you can't even think about making a long shot!
Joe Hart also gave the Crystal Palace players a provocative look.
Corner kick, Crystal Palace won a corner kick.
Crystal Palace's high points all poured into the Manchester City penalty area, and Manchester City fans and players became nervous.
Because I have to be nervous, the average height of Crystal Palace people is very high, and their air defense ability of Manchester City will be a bit poor in this game.
Demichelis also felt a lot of pressure because he really couldn't handle Ignacio next to him.
He is old!
Mangala immediately came to Demichelis' side and said "Let me come!"
Demichelis nodded towards Mangala, and then turned directly to Laporte. To be honest, Laporte is not easy to defend. This guy is also young, can run, jump and header. Moreover, Laporte is not easy to defend.
Laporte also scored a lot of header goals after joining Crystal Palace.
Very dangerous!
Manchester City's defensive players are really facing a formidable enemy.
On the Crystal Palace side, Ignacio, Van Dijk, Laporte, Paulinho and others are all standing in the penalty area. These guys all have strong header abilities and must be guarded against!
Pellegrini on the sidelines was also a little anxious, waving his hands from time to time and adjusting the positions of the defensive players.
At this moment, the referee blew the whistle for the free throw - beep!
Robertson, who was in the corner kick area, glanced at the Manchester City penalty area, and then drove the football out in an arc. The football shot out quickly, drew a curved ball, and flew directly to the back of the penalty area.
Ignacio, who was in the front position, had already led Mangala and others to the front position. Van Dijk and Laporte, who were in the middle and back positions, jumped high in an instant and saw the incoming ball, which was overwhelming.
With a bang, Laporte, who was playing from behind in the penalty area, shook his head directly towards the ball and threw the football outside the penalty area.
Suddenly, all the Manchester City players and fans were shocked. This guy Laporte did not directly header the ball, but pushed the football out of the penalty area.
Danger!
Suddenly all the Manchester City players saw Zhang Linpeng rushing up!
The Manchester City fans at the scene were sweating all over—danger!
Zhang Linpeng has a very strong long-range shooting ability. The ball ran directly towards him. Isn't this a cannon shot?
Zhang Linpeng rushed forward quickly, stepping towards the football.
After measuring the distance with his glasses, he suddenly hit the ball and shot furiously.
With a bang, Zhang Linpeng kicked the football hard. The football immediately shot towards the upper right corner of Manchester City's goal like a cannonball.
At the front of the penalty area, all the Manchester City players became nervous.
It's dangerous!
Suddenly, all the Manchester City fans at the scene turned their attention to Joe Hart. Joe Hart, your chance to perform has come, your chance to prove has come. Save this ball for me, save it!
In front of the goal, Joe Hart had a serious face. He spotted the football that was flying towards him. He immediately jumped up into the air and quickly reached out and pounced towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Joe Hart tried his best, growing his arms like crazy.
But he himself felt that this ball was useless!
At this moment, the football flew past his fingertips and flew into the Manchester City goal!
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Zhang Linpeng! It was Zhang Linpeng who scored the goal! After performing a hat trick in the last game, he helped Crystal Palace open the door to victory in this game! It was he who broke the deadlock!
A beautiful long shot, a wonderful long shot! Joe Hart, fell to the long shot again!" Mortensen immediately got up and roared excitedly, his voice was about to break.
"Wow! Zhang Linpeng! It's him again! It's him who helped Crystal Palace break the deadlock on the court again! It's so awesome. There's no point in being a full-back. This is simply a winger! A super winger! With Zhang Linpeng's ability,
Can you replace Carvajal alone? I think there is nothing wrong with Mr. David's request!" At this time, Shearer directly transformed into Tong Yi's most loyal fan, crazily praising Tong Yi.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene and in front of the TV were very excited and roared crazily.
All the Manchester City fans present were ashen-faced.
Of course, the person in the worst mood at this time was Joe Hart in front of the goal.
Joe Hart was almost swearing at this moment. Why did this td throw another long shot? Why did he throw another long shot?
Joe Hart didn't even want to get up.
Zhang Linpeng, who scored the goal, was also very excited. He turned around and rushed out quickly. Excitedly, he made a passionate slide on the sidelines. Then he excitedly waved his fist to the Crystal Palace fans in the stands. He really
Very excited, he feels that joining Real Madrid should be settled!
One to zero, Crystal Palace leads Manchester City.
Tong Yi immediately applauded on the sidelines and gave the applause to Zhang Linpeng. Zhang Linpeng has been in really good shape in the past few games. It seems that joining Real Madrid really stimulated him a lot and inspired him.
Zhang Linpeng.
At this time, when Real Madrid's senior management saw Zhang Linpeng's performance, it must be fake that they were not moved, right? Perhaps this is likely to solidify their intention to introduce Zhang Linpeng. After all, Zhang Linpeng's recent state and performance are really outstanding. If you miss it,
For such an excellent Chinese player, Florentino and Real Madrid will definitely regret it.
