One to zero, it was Crystal Palace who broke the deadlock, and it was Zhang Linpeng who scored!
Now those fans who questioned whether Zhang Linpeng is worthy of joining Madrid have shut up. Can Carvajal guarantee this efficiency? Are you sure Carvajal will be stronger than Zhang Linpeng?
At least in the past two games, Zhang Linpeng is indeed stronger than Carvajal.
Pellegrini on the sidelines frowned at this time.
Sure enough, the game against Crystal Palace was not easy to play.
However, he still came to the sidelines and directed the team to continue to put pressure on Crystal Palace.
Not to mention that this tactic of Manchester City is really quite successful.
They pressed forward and really caused a lot of trouble for Crystal Palace.
They have accumulated so many players in the frontcourt who hold and control the ball, just to tear apart the Crystal Palace high-position pressure.
It's working well so far.
The Manchester City fans in the stands were also very excited. They felt that their Manchester City team had a good chance in this game.
With a bang, midfielder Yaya Toure suddenly moved his foot diagonally, passing the football to the feet of Kolarov who was coming up from the edge. Kolarov had just stopped the ball, and with a bang, he was finally caught.
Zhang Linpeng rushed forward and stabbed him out first.
hiss!
How did this guy get up so fast?
Kolarov did not react, and the Manchester City fans in the stands took a breath. Lin Peng's defense in this chapter was really oppressive. No wonder Tong Yi said that Zhang Linpeng perfectly adapted to his tactics.
In this game, Zhang Linpeng suppressed Kolarov and Silva.
Crystal Palace's right wing is blocked by Manchester City.
However, fortunately, the football that was stabbed by Zhang Linpeng returned to the feet of the Manchester City players. They immediately passed the ball down and organized the next attack. However, it was obvious that the Manchester City players seemed to have gone around Zhang Linpeng.
Of course, the main thing was that Kolarov was going around Zhang Linpeng, so it seemed that they were avoiding a head-on confrontation with Zhang Linpeng. This made the Manchester City fans at the scene very unhappy and angry.
However, more people think it is reasonable.
Isn't playing a game just to find the opponent's weak point and attack like crazy? Now it can be seen that Zhang Linpeng is in very good condition today and his performance is very tough. At this time, what happened to Manchester City's avoidance of his edge? Isn't this a routine operation? Isn't it?
Do you want Manchester City to fight Crystal Palace's strongest defensive point in the game?
Aren't you creating difficulties for yourself?
The Manchester City players in the stadium were not like the Manchester City fans. They immediately bypassed Zhang Linpeng and stormed the Crystal Palace. Then they were prepared to take it by surprise. When everyone thought that the Manchester City players would not attack Zhang Linpeng and this point again, they suddenly
Ran attacked Zhang Linpeng at this point.
In this way, they were able to break through Zhang Linpeng's defense and score a goal.
In the middle, Yaya Toure suddenly rushed in with the ball and squeezed The formation of suppressing Crystal Palace. After seeing De Bruyne pounce, Yaya Toure immediately crushed De Bruyne with his body. After resisting, he continued to advance with the ball. Seeing Kante pounce, he immediately passed the football diagonally to the side.
On the way, Kolarov, who was not pressing forward, received the football and directly passed the ball diagonally. He attacked the football and passed it to Navas who was advancing forward!
Navas received the football and immediately moved his legs to pretend to cross, but did not deceive the Crystal Palace defender.
After all, none of Manchester City's offensive players are tall enough, and their lineup has almost said goodbye to the tactic of crosses from the wing. They just have to keep running in and out of the frontcourt to find openings.
Therefore, Crystal Palace is very well prepared.
No, didn't Navas pass the football across the ball?
The football quickly rolled towards Nasri in the middle, but as soon as Nasri caught the ball, he was stuck by Paulinho behind him. He had almost no chance to turn around, let alone room to break through. Nasri was immediately blocked
Forced to move quickly to the sideline, he tried many times but failed to turn around and break through, so he had to pass the football back.
But at this moment, Silva in midfield suddenly had an idea and sent a precise through ball.
Although the ball did not penetrate the Crystal Palace defense, it still passed the ball to the feet of Milner who came up diagonally. Milner immediately relied on Laporte behind him to volley, and the football roared out and flew straight
Crystal Palace goal.
Very dangerous!
Just when the football was about to fly into the goal, Edward made a lightning side dive and saved the football out of the baseline.
Everyone in the Crystal Palace heaved a long sigh of relief. It was really very dangerous just now.
Sure enough, the Manchester City team is still very strong, and they really cannot relax a little. In fact, this time, the Crystal Palace people are very dedicated and active, and there is no slack at all. But the Manchester City people still found it.
Opportunity, this is the strength of Manchester City.
Tong Yi immediately came to the sidelines and signaled the Crystal Palace defensive players to tighten up from the two wings to the center and stop giving the Manchester City people such space.
After this meeting, the Manchester City people quickly took a tactical corner kick. After two passes, Silva very covertly passed the football to the front of the penalty area.
Yaya Toure appeared in this position and met the ball directly with a heavy shot.
With a bang, the football roared out and shot towards the upper left corner of the goal.
Edward was shocked in front of the goal. He immediately took two steps sideways and quickly jumped out. He didn't have much confidence even though he was flying into the air. This ball was very dangerous!
The Manchester City fans on the sidelines screamed with excitement.
There was a clang of steel, and the football hit the crossbar of the goal firmly, and then bounced off the baseline.
The Crystal Palace people are really lucky to have escaped!
Tong Yi on the sidelines immediately signaled the two wingers to shrink to the center. Kante's position in the midfielder position was a little further forward to increase the scope of the sweep. Don't let the Manchester City man control the ball and pass the ball easily in this area. He must
Give the Manchester City people enough pressure, especially the opponent's ball carrier.
Oppress, oppress, must be oppressed like crazy.
Kanter and others nodded, expressing their understanding.
The Crystal Palace side tightened the fence, defending while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
However, it is obvious that the Manchester City people are in very good condition today, and their control in the midfield and frontcourt is still very strong. After passing the ball down continuously, they created another opportunity. It's Silva again, this guy's imagination
His strength is really too rich. Facing Milner's pass, he did not stop the ball. Second, he turned his back and kicked the ball directly with his heel, directly over the head of Laporte who was saving. Nasri quickly
He ran forward into the penalty area, and before the football hit the ground, he directly swung his legs and volleyed.
With a bang, the football roared out and rushed towards the Crystal Palace goal.
It's close at hand, it's inevitable!
With a bang, Edouard banned the dream of Manchester City people!
After such a close-range volley burst, Edward actually covered the sky with one hand. This is unacceptable to all Manchester City people! Can't he even get in? Is this Edward too fake? He must be on drugs!
It's a pity that a urine test was done just before the game, and there was no problem at all.
The Manchester City fans were all in disbelief, shaking their heads in disbelief!
Nasri himself also had his eyes widened in disbelief. He stared at Edward. He didn't believe that Edward could save the ball. Isn't this too science fiction?
This was Manchester City's best chance of the first half.
The goal was not scored, and the Manchester City people were really disappointed.
After this attack, Crystal Palace woke up and cut off Manchester City's ball with high pressure in the midfield three times in a row and launched a quick counterattack, threatening their goal both times. If it weren't for Joe Hart's outstanding performance
If so, they would already be 0-3 behind.
After adjustments during the halftime break, Manchester City strengthened their offense in the second half and strengthened the delivery of threatening balls.
Yes, Manchester City people are starting to take risks.
It's impossible not to take risks. They need to score goals now and they must win this game. Otherwise, how can he explain to the Manchester City fans and the top management of Manchester City?
At this time, the Manchester City people frequently passed some risky through balls in the midfield.
Not to mention, they have really achieved some good results. They are threatening the Crystal Palace players more and more often, and they seem to be getting closer and closer to scoring. Manchester City fans are very happy.
Happy.
However, they are also very worried.
Their risky, high-risk passes also led to him many times. They lost the ball in the midfield, and then were counterattacked by the Crystal Palace people. Just now, Mane diagonally inserted into the penalty area, received a pass from Ludbrune, and almost broke the Manchester City goal. They almost scored 0-2.
Falling behind.
Manchester City's current style of play really involves both risks and benefits!
Manchester City fans were very nervous and worried.
The current style of play of Manchester City is to compete with Crystal Palace to see who has better luck, who has better ability to seize opportunities, and who can score the opponent's goal first. Whoever seizes the opportunity and scores the opponent's goal first will be able to completely master the game.
The initiative in the game.
If Manchester City scores first, they will equalize the score, and with high morale, they will be able to completely control the game; if Crystal Palace scores first, it will basically kill the suspense of this game.
Therefore, Pellegrini's style of play is very risky.
However, he has no choice, this is his choice now.
Manchester City was still frantically seizing opportunities in the middle. At this moment, Silva suddenly made a direct pass, trying to squeeze the football through the gap between the three defensive players. As soon as he pushed it through, Nasri made a single strike.
Yes, this goal will definitely be scored!
Unfortunately, the ball was interrupted by Kante in the middle.
Kanter immediately passed the football straight to the frontcourt. De Bruyne in the frontcourt met him, but failed to catch the ball. He felt Fernandinho rushing up behind him, so he feinted a shot.
Sure enough, Fernandinho did not expect that De Bruyne would not catch the ball, and the football quickly rolled past him and towards Ignacio behind him.
Ignacio immediately pushed the football diagonally to the wing, and Salah from the wing rushed up and took the ball directly into the Manchester City penalty area. He suddenly flicked the ball horizontally and volleyed hard.
The football roared out and flew straight to Manchester City's goal.
It's a pity that Joe Hart reacted very quickly this time and performed very well. He directly dived sideways and saved the football.
After being thrown out, Milner waited for the football to fall to the feet of Milner who was coming back. He quickly pushed the football flat, and the football rolled onto Zabaleta. As soon as the football rolled out, a leg stretched out from behind him.
Kanter!
It's so suspenseful. If he stops the football, the ball will be knocked away by Kanter.
Milner is really happy!
Zabaleta immediately passed the football straight to the frontcourt, and the football rolled to the feet of Silva, who came back to catch the ball. Just when everyone thought Silva would stop the ball and hold Paulinho behind him, Silva
Watt unexpectedly took advantage of the situation and gently pushed the football back with the outside of his foot, then quickly turned his body to the other side, turned around and passed the ball past Paulinho.
After quickly dribbling the ball forward and squeezing the Crystal Palace defense, Silva suddenly passed sideways to the left side of the penalty area. Nasri quickly rushed past Robertson, rushed to the football, and volleyed directly, fiercely.
