Football: God-level striker, all teammates lie down

This season, Crystal Palace's FA Cup journey was very smooth. Among their opponents Southampton, Stoke City, Tottenham, Reading, and Watford, only Tottenham and Southampton were relatively strong. It happened that these two Premier League teams took the initiative to give up the FA Cup and sent substitutes to deal with it.

So Crystal Palace's FA Cup final has a very large luck factor.

This is also a final with a huge difference in strength.

Manchester City and Crystal Palace played against each other in two rounds of the league. Manchester City defeated their opponents 2:1 and 2:0 respectively, and did not have much advantage.

But in the League Cup, Manchester City won 5:1 at home.

With three consecutive wins, Manchester City's hard power is stronger than Crystal Palace, and it also has a great psychological advantage.

On the afternoon of May 21, the two sides gathered at Wembley Stadium.

The last professional game in England this season was launched.

After this game, only Manchester City and Liverpool, the professional teams in England, had a final to play respectively.

Liverpool vs. Sevilla in the Europa League final, Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.

"Okay, players from both sides are ready to play.

Manchester City is no longer in 4231, but has changed to an offensive 433.

Zhao Yi, Aguero, Sterling, three forwards.

Midfielders De Bruyne, David Silva, and Fernandinho are pulled back to form a single defensive midfielder.

Four defenders, Delph, Kompany, Stones, and Sagna.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart.

This is exactly the same formation as Real Madrid's main formation. Could it be that Guardiola wants to try it after the European war with Real Madrid?

Facing a team like Crystal Palace that is not particularly strong, it is reasonable for Guardiola to change the formation.

Crystal Palace chose a balanced 4231 formation.

At the forefront is Wickham, who joined the team this season, and the three attacking frontcourt players behind are Zaha, Sakho, and Ponjon from left to right.

Double defensive midfielders Kabaye and MacArthur.

Four defenders Soyani, Delaney, Dane and Ward.

Goalkeeper McCarthy.

Right back Ward has been in excellent form recently, providing assists and scoring goals in consecutive games.

On the contrary, Zaha's recent performance has been somewhat mediocre. "

"Today, Crystal Palace's defense will face a big test. Manchester City will definitely not hold back in this game.

They eliminated Real Madrid 10:2 in two rounds in the Champions League. After that game, many European media showed a very negative attitude. They believed that Real Madrid, as a top-notch European team, had no power to fight back in front of Manchester City. Manchester City, which had experienced a season of running-in, had made Europe despair.

Today, I don't know if Crystal Palace can hold up!"

After the players from both sides entered the field, the enthusiasm of the fans was ignited.

London's Crystal Palace, coming to Wembley Stadium, is still much more relaxed than Manchester City fans.

However, the number of Manchester City fans at the scene is not less than that of Crystal Palace.

Manchester City's record this season is impressive, making Manchester City fans particularly excited and positive.

When Zhao Yi appeared on the field with the team, the emotions of Manchester City fans reached a small climax.

At the same time, there were also many celebrities from the film and television industry, sports, and politics who appeared here.

Among them, the most eye-catching is a mother and son.

The old lady is the only woman in England who can drive legally without a driver's license.

His son is already a little bald.

The old lady stood there with a kind smile on her face and kept clapping.

When she stood up, the camera turned over, and all the fans at the scene stood up.

Express a kind of respect.

As some necessary pre-field ceremonies ended, the referee whistle sounded.

The game officially began.

Crystal Palace picked the side, Manchester City had the ball.

Manchester City, wearing a black away jersey, began to organize an attack.

De Bruyne made a simple push and immediately found Zhao Yi on the side.

Zhao Yi was unceremonious and started sprinting with the ball at the beginning.

Crystal Palace right-back Ward immediately followed, while MacArthur retreated to assist in defense.

"Zhao Yi is on the left, and his offensive routine is still very simple. He has speed and breakthroughs, but because of the space and dominant foot problems, the two people are stuck in position, and it is difficult for him to find an opportunity to break through successfully, and it is also difficult to pass a high-quality cross."

"Delph is also here, and it is indeed a side-by-side cooperation!"

Zhao Yi took the ball, because his dominant foot is his right foot, he can only go inside or in the middle. After attracting the defense, Delph will go in from the side, and Zhao Yi will pass the ball over.

Pull Crystal Palace's defensive formation.

Make full use of the field space and disperse the positions of Crystal Palace players.

Ward immediately ran to defend Delph, and Delph accelerated and rushed to the bottom line.

He left Ward behind.

Dan immediately went to fill the position, assisting in defense.

At the same time, Zhao Yi immediately moved forward and stood in the empty area between MacArthur and Dane.

MacArthur was half a beat slower, and Delph made an inverted triangle pass.

The power was great and the ball was very fast.

Zhao Yi turned half-turned successfully, and the ball hit his right foot.

Zhao Yi's ball-stopping skills were already top-notch during the English League One period.

So, the ball was passed quickly, but Zhao Yi kicked it directly to the ground.

"Shoot directly! Zhao Yi! This ball goes in!!! Thirty-five seconds into the game, after Zhao Yi and Delph made a simple cooperation on the left, Crystal Palace's defense had problems.

MacArthur was stunned and didn't keep up with Zhao Yi!

And there was also a problem with Delaney's running position. Zhao Yi almost faced the goalkeeper alone and shot a far corner.

McCarthy couldn't react at all!

Manchester City is leading!"

Zhao Yi and Delph high-fived to celebrate.

He himself didn't expect that Crystal Palace's defense would be so lax.

This goal came too fast.

For this kind of ball, he is a right-footed player, and he needs to adjust his position when he makes a run, but MacArthur didn't catch up.

He kicked the ball easily.

Normally, he should hold the ball with his back to the goal, attract players in the penalty area, and then pass it to De Bruyne who followed behind.

De Bruyne chooses to shoot or pass.

Unexpectedly, he can get a chance to shoot directly.

This tactical arrangement was ended by him in advance.

De Bruyne who followed didn't receive the ball, but caught up with the celebration after the goal.

Nearly 40,000 Manchester City fans shouted.

Zhao Yi's name once again resounded throughout the Wembley Stadium.

In the previous two trips to Wembley, his name has been imprinted in Wembley Stadium.

"Wembley Stadium will be called Stadium No. 19 in the future!" Gary Neville, who was watching the game, said fiercely.

This guy entered the finals as if he had taken medicine, and scoring a goal was as easy as drinking water.

No one cares!

Manchester City is getting closer to the domestic treble.

Manchester United, which Gary Neville supports, is also a Manchester City team, but it is unknown when they will get the trophy.

He is angry and helpless now.

Why not just let the English Football Association directly award the trophy?
