228: It’s Courtois who supports Chelsea’s defense

The ball went in!

One to zero, Crystal Palace takes the lead!

The Chelsea fans at home suddenly burst into amazing screams, and of course all kinds of bad words were poured in towards Crystal Palace player De Bruyne.

De Bruyne is so jumpy, why do you dare to score?

Score a goal and break your legs!

Chelsea fans are so hateful!

Didn't you say setting up a bus? How could Crystal Palace score so easily?

This is all somewhat blamed on Chelsea's defensive players. This is indeed not because Chelsea's defense is not good, but because Crystal Palace's offense is very sharp. Especially with the existence of the giant Ignacio, even if he is still very immature, he is still a giant.

Ignacio alone in the penalty area has to attract two defensive players to defend.

You simply can't defend yourself against it.

Once you two people guard Ignacio, opportunities will naturally arise for other Crystal Palace players.

There is no way around it.

Besides, when the goal was scored, one of Chelsea's defensive midfielders, Matic, had been moved to the wing to assist Salah, so the center was already empty, and there were double teams in the penalty area, so naturally this gap was created. ?

Mourinho was very dissatisfied and attacked the Chelsea fans.

Obviously, this goal was not part of his plan.

Mourinho immediately signaled the Chelsea players to move back a little. The goal just now was actually an opportunity for the Crystal Palace people to switch offense and defense. Chelsea's offensive players had just pressed out, and the waiting area was empty. It was natural for them to steal the ball and counterattack.

Mourinho hopes that Chelsea's players will be more cautious and the lineup will move back.

If you don't give the Crystal Palace people any space, they will have a chance.

However, for now, they need to take some risks in the next game.

After all, they are lagging behind. If they keep defending like this and Crystal Palace takes advantage of it, it will be difficult for Chelsea to even the score!

However, when the game restarted, the Chelsea people still maintained a defensive posture.

Chelsea's formation is relatively deep and the bus is set up.

The Crystal Palace side naturally pressed high.

The two sides exchanged the ball back and forth in Chelsea's half, and a fierce battle began here.

Scenes of people falling on their backs often appear on the court, and the actions of both sides are actually quite big. After all, this is the Premier League! The referee's whistle is also relatively loose, so the game still looks very smooth.

However, Chelsea fans are very disappointed and anxious!

Half an hour of the game is about to pass, and the score is still 1-0. This can't be done!

Chelsea only completed two shots in this half hour, and the opportunities were not very good.

A door is better than nothing.

The number of shots Crystal Palace took was actually not many, only five.

The two teams spent more time fighting for the midfield.

If the first goal had not been conceded, this scene would have been completely acceptable to the Chelsea people. However, they lost a goal, which is unacceptable!

So the Chelsea fans shouted wildly, calling on the Chelsea people to strengthen their offense.

However, Mourinho was indifferent!

He is always slowing down, and the Crystal Palace people will definitely have problems. They cannot be in a tight state during normal games, and problems will always occur sometimes.

Now the Chelsea people are just dormant, waiting for opportunities!

At this time, Chelsea were like a poisonous snake, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

As for the Crystal Palace, Tong Yi naturally knows Mourinho's thoughts. So, don't look at the Crystal Palace people who are pressing crazy high positions. In fact, Tong Yi has reminded the players many times about defensive issues, telling them not to take it lightly, let alone relax, and never give Chelsea any chance.

Chelsea's strength is very strong. If you give them a little chance, they will be finished.

Chelsea's offensive strength is very strong.

Especially Hazard, Willian, Cuadrado and Drogba in the frontcourt. These people are all good offensive players.

At this moment, the Crystal Palace side suddenly became angry with the football at Cesc Fabregas' feet.

Fabregas made a mistake. De Bruyne rushed to grab the ball like a poisonous snake spitting a message, and intercepted the football. Then he quickly dodged the ball with a lateral pull, passed Cesc Fabregas directly, and took advantage of the situation to pass the football into Chelsea's penalty area.

In the penalty area, Ignacio directly used his strong body to resist Cahill behind him, stretched his legs to stop the football, and then swung his leg and kicked the football!

Danger!

The Chelsea fans at the scene were so frightened that the hairs all over their bodies were tingling!

Mourinho's eyes widened in disbelief on the sidelines. He stared at the court, his fingers turning white without noticing.

There was a loud bang and the football flew out of the penalty area quickly.

It turned out that before Ignacio hit the ball, Terry, who reacted extremely well, stretched his legs first and poked the ball out of the penalty area.

Nice, nice clearance.

The Chelsea fans at the scene immediately applauded Terry, and Terry responded quickly!

But the cheers of the Chelsea fans stopped abruptly, because the football flying out of the penalty area came directly to the feet of Salah in the corner of the penalty area. Salah immediately moved his legs, pretended to cross, shook full-back Ivanovic, and then smashed the ball horizontally.

Go straight to the middle and cut inwards.

He passed Ivanovic in an instant, and then shot directly with his legs. The football immediately drew a wonderful arc and went directly to the upper right corner of the goal.

Unfortunately, the football was slightly higher and flew out of the baseline.

Everyone in Chelsea is numb!

So dangerous, really too dangerous. Why do Chelsea fans feel that Chelsea's defense today is really not tight at all, but there are so many loopholes. Is there too much pressure on Chelsea's players today? No one knows what to do anymore? ??

Mourinho on the sidelines was very dissatisfied and roared crazily into the stadium.

But this was of no use at all. Five minutes later, Crystal Palace's attack came again, this time the threat was greater.

Crystal Palace advanced the attack with the ball, and Paulinho always came near Chelsea's penalty area. Then he quickly pushed the football to the wing. Salah on the wing directly missed the ball and missed the football. Robertson, who came up to the edge, did not wait for the football to land and directly kicked the ball and passed it.

A perfect arc slid through, and the football flew quickly into Chelsea's penalty area.

In the middle of the penalty area, Ignacio easily defeated Terry and smashed the football flying towards him. With a bang, he shot quickly towards the Chelsea goal and flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

The ball was so fast that the Chelsea people were dumbfounded.

When he saw that the football was about to fly into the goal, Courtois stretched out his palm and placed it in front of the football, blocking the football from the baseline.

It’s really just a small difference!

Chelsea fans were speechless when they saw this goal. It was really too dangerous.

Mourinho on the sidelines applauded wildly, cheering on the Chelsea players and boosting their morale. Otherwise, if this continues, Chelsea will be in great danger.

Crystal Palace did perform very well today. Tong Yi was very well prepared for this game. His current tactics are to suppress the Chelsea people and create many opportunities. It's a pity that we have been unlucky so far and have only scored one goal. If we had one or two more goals, Crystal Palace would definitely win this game.

It's a pity, a little bit of a pity!

Chelsea's preparations are actually very good, and Mourinho's bus is also well arranged. It's a pity that he was a little suppressed by Crystal Palace's tactics today, especially the opponent Ignacio, who was really difficult to control.

Although, so far they have actually controlled Ignacio very well and have not directly participated in the offense too many times. But this guy will attract the attention of defensive players as long as he is on the court. There is no way around it. Today, Chelsea is a bit passive because of this guy's presence.

So far, Drogba

The advantages here have not yet been demonstrated.

I don't know if it's because Drogba is really old, or because Chelsea's current tactical problems do not allow Drogba room to play.

Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity!

Robertson went directly to the corner kick, and he was still the one to take the corner kick. After arriving in front of the football, he gestured wildly and exchanged signals with Ignacio. Everyone in Chelsea is speechless. Can your code be more secretive? Now that everyone knows that you are swapping codes, can you be more careful? Or do you really look down on our Chelsea defensive players so much?

Drogba came to Ignacio's side and stuck to Ignacio.

At this moment, the football flew quickly into the center of Chelsea's penalty area. Ignacio and Drogba took off at the same time, and with a bang, Ignacio shook his head and slammed the football into the Chelsea goal.

In front of the goal, Courtois rose into the air and stretched out his hand to lift the football out of the baseline.

Courtois still tries to keep the goal!

Bang bang bang!

The Chelsea fans at the scene immediately gave Courtois applause. Courtois's consecutive saves were really amazing. Without him, Chelsea would have been beaten into pieces!

Chelsea's defensive players looked gloomy. The damn Crystal Palace people were really too arrogant and arrogant. They really didn't take them seriously. Dare to pass the football to Ignacio's head so directly, you really don't take Chelsea people seriously.

Drogba's face was also a bit gloomy. After all, Ignacio and Robertson had openly conspired before this.

Chelsea's defensive players looked a little worried!

A corner kick is still a corner kick!

This time, as before, Robertson again openly conspired with Ignacio. Robertson then curled the ball over Ignacio's head, and Ignacio beat Cahill to header.

The football flew quickly into Courtois' arms, and the football was held firmly.

Courtois really performed well today. Except for the first goal that was blocked, almost all other Crystal Palace shots failed to break through his defense!

Seeing this, Mourinho was relieved a lot!

Fight back!

Courtois, who was holding the football, reacted immediately, rushed out with the football in his arms, and then threw the football out with a powerful hand throw.

Chelsea suddenly launched a quick counterattack.

This time Courtois accurately sent the football to the feet of Hazard on the wing.

Mourinho on the sidelines immediately became energetic and immediately waved his hand to signal Chelsea's offensive players to press forward and support Hazard!
