Did you see that this game is the complete and strongest form of Crystal Palace? The lineup against Watford is purely a substitute. Of course, this discrimination is not the strongest state of Crystal Palace, because Ignacio was seriously injured and is still recovering from his injury. After Ignacio recovers from his injury and returns to his previous state, that will be the strongest state of Crystal Palace. state.

However, today’s lineup is also very powerful.

Balotelli is not bad this season, he is very good. He makes even Liverpool's defense break.

As you can see from today's lineup, Crystal Palace is here to win.

Just want to fight against Manchester City.

In this game, both sides seemed to be not coddling each other, but attacking.

From the beginning of the game, the two sides started to attack.

In the second minute, Crystal Palace turned the tables and stormed to the edge of Manchester City's penalty area.

De Bruyne in the midfield sent a precise through ball, which directly penetrated Manchester City's defense. Kompany's turn in the penalty area was still a little slow.

Kompany is also getting older and is about to retire, and he can't keep up with the rhythm of Manchester City.

Many people feel that the main reason why Manchester City's results are not very good this season is the problem of the defense. The abilities of Kompany and Demichelis no longer match the intensity and strength of Manchester City. His strength dropped drastically, especially when he turned around and chased back.

Their physical fitness declined too quickly.

No, Kompany was seized by De Bruyne and sent a precise ball through the back.

And Salah, who was diagonally inserted, went straight behind Kompany. Before Otamendi came up to defend, Salah, who caught up with the football, directly volleyed the football with his legs and volleyed the football towards the goal. the far corner.

"Salah explodes!" Mortensen roared excitedly.

The Manchester City fans in the stands screamed in horror.

Then, they watched the football pass Hart and roll out of the baseline against the far goal post.

Just a few inches away!

As soon as the game started, Crystal Palace created an excellent opportunity and almost broke through Manchester City's goal.

The goal, this scared the Manchester City fans out of their wits.

Crystal Palace is in great shape today. This is not good news for Manchester City!

The Manchester City players were also nervous. They knew that this game would definitely be very difficult to play. However, they did not lose their confidence in attacking.

The Manchester City players are not afraid of the Crystal Palace people at all.

On the goal kick, Hart directly kicked the football away. The football in the frontcourt was directly pushed out by Van Dijk who rushed out, and the football came to Kanter's feet.

Kanter quickly crossed the football, and Casemiro passed the ball directly to the forward winger Mane.

Knowing that Mane did not receive the ball at all, but waited for the full-back Clichy to come up, he immediately pushed the football to Carvajal who followed. After Carvajal received the ball, he immediately broke through along the sideline with the ball, while Clichy was stuck inside by Mane, giving him no chance to intercept Carvajal.

Carvajal kept dribbling the ball along the wing at high speed and directly reached the penalty area. Then he immediately swung his legs and looked like he was going to pass directly. Clichy quickly slid over and intercepted.

"Oh, it's dangerous! Clichy is too reckless, Manchester City is in danger!" Mortensen couldn't stand it anymore and exclaimed.

Sure enough, Carvajal flicked his ankle and pushed the football back to Mane who was following.

Mane quickly cut inside with the ball, and there was no one to intercept it.

Because Chrissy was already lying in front of Carvajal, it was too late for him to get up.

Seeing that Mane was about to shoot a Robben-like shot in front of the penalty area, Manchester City's midfielder Fernando immediately pounced on Mane.

Mane swung his legs and pretended to do something, which attracted Fernando's attention. Then he quickly moved the football to the center and directly passed the football to De Bruyne who rushed up from the center!

"Danger, Manchester City is in danger!" Shearer shouted excitedly.

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene also cheered excitedly. The opportunity, the perfect opportunity has come!

De Bruyne, who rushed up, didn't need to make any adjustments at all, he just hit the football rolling towards him with a blast!

De Bruyne hit the ball very accurately and exerted full force.

De Bruyne feels that this goal must be scored!

With a bang, the football hit Otamendi hard, who jumped out from the side, and then immediately changed direction and flew out of the baseline.

"Beautiful! Otamendi's defense is really beautiful. If he doesn't block this shot, he will definitely lose it! Because Hart has no resistance when facing long shots, as long as the ball flies to If you hit the goal, you will definitely score! Otamendi saved Manchester City!" Shearer immediately said loudly that Manchester City's defense was really good this time.

"Otamendi was also discovered by China Tong, and he was once a key figure that China Tong relied on! Today he showed his ability and proved that China Tong has great vision! If there was no Otamendi on this goal, Di, we will definitely enter!" Mortensen also exclaimed.

Bang bang bang!

Manchester City fans gave Otamendi applause. Otamendi did perform very well.

Tong Yi also walked out and applauded on the sidelines. I wonder if he gave the applause to De Bruyne or Otamendi?

Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity!

During this period of time, Crystal Palace really turned the tables and suppressed Manchester City. This is something Manchester City fans did not expect. It is very dangerous!

Robertson went to the corner kick and he wanted to take the corner kick.

At this moment, Van Dijk in the penalty area rushed to the front point quickly, and then Robertson quickly passed the football to the front of the penalty area with an inverted triangle kick. Carvajal rushed up to meet the ball directly with a kick. Explosive shot, the football roared out, slightly higher than the crossbar!

such a pity!

If the ball had hit the goal frame, it would have definitely scored. After all, Hart was standing in front of the Manchester City goal.

Precisely because Hart is standing in front of the goal, Crystal Palace has obviously increased the number of long-range shots in this game. Look at the crazy long-range shots.

I wonder if Hart felt offended?

During this period, Crystal Palace played very well, and the Manchester City team playing at home was a bit suppressed. This made Manchester City fans very anxious and worried.

At this moment, Manchester City suddenly stood up.

Goretzka received Aguero's counterattack ball at the front of the penalty area. He rushed forward and met the ball with a blast.

This is Manchester City's first shot in this game, and Manchester City fans have very high expectations for this shot.

The football shot out quickly, like a shooting star.

Then, the football was firmly saved by Alisson who flew out sideways.

The Manchester City fans were stunned. Can the ball be saved? Then they involuntarily turned their heads and glanced at Hart in front of their own goal, as if to say, Hart shouldn't be able to save this ball, right?

Hart's head is full of black lines.

Here, Crystal Palace immediately launched a quick counterattack, but unfortunately the football was cut off halfway. Manchester City immediately launched an attack, hoping to take advantage of the change in offensive and defensive transitions to beat Crystal Palace. Then, Fernandinho's pass was directly intercepted by Kante. Kante quickly passed the ball diagonally and the football flew to the feet of Salah in the frontcourt.

Unfortunately, Salah stopped the ball a little too much, and the ball was destroyed by Sagna who rushed out, and the ball rolled out of line.

During this period, the ball was changing back and forth in the midfield. It seemed that the game was very intense, but

The number of times he threatened the goal was very few.

Seeing this, fans from both sides felt a little dull.

Yes, after experiencing the intensity and excitement at the beginning of the game, the game now seems a bit dull. It is more about fierce fighting and exchanging ball rights in the midfield.

Fans from both sides looked a little nervous, but they didn't have much expectations.

There aren't many threatening attacks.

But at this moment, De Bruyne in midfield sent a wonderful diagonal pass. The football went directly over Clichy who jumped up, and then Mane behind him easily caught the football, and then quickly held the ball inside. Cut into Manchester City's penalty area.

The Manchester City fans were all frightened, it was dangerous!

At this moment, the talented Kompany made a bold slide tackle and actually shoveled the football out of the baseline in the penalty area.

hiss!

All the Manchester City fans in the audience were scared to death!

This is the penalty area. You dare to make a sliding tackle in the penalty area. If you tackle someone, wouldn't it be a penalty kick?

Manchester City fans were really shocked.

But the result is still very good.

Therefore, the fans at the scene gave their applause to Kompany. This guy is indeed experienced.

Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity!

Robertson quickly ran to the corner kick again, and he wanted to take the corner kick.

Van Dijk and the others all swarmed into Manchester City's penalty area. Manchester City fans were very nervous because Crystal Palace's corner kick scoring rate is very high. It is very dangerous to continuously give corner kicks to Crystal Palace people.

Shhhhhhh!

The Manchester City fans at the scene immediately sent crazy boos to the Crystal Palace players, disturbing the Crystal Palace players.

At this moment, Robertson quickly drove the football out in an arc. The football spun rapidly, and then quickly turned to the back of the penalty area.

Rudiger and Casemiro jumped high at the back point, and then Rudiger headed the ball directly over Otamendi's head, quickly ferrying the football to the center. De Bruyne, who rushed up from the middle, jumped directly to the top and slammed the football with his head. The football quickly shot towards the Manchester City goal.

Manchester City fans were stunned, Danger!

With a bang, Hart's miraculous save in front of the goal actually saved the football. Unfortunately, before the Manchester City people could be happy, the saved football actually hit Balotelli's leg and then bounced quickly into the Manchester City team. goal.

One to zero!

At the end of the first half, Crystal Palace temporarily took the lead over Manchester City with a lucky goal.

All the Manchester City fans at the scene were speechless. What the hell is this? Is our Manchester City team's luck so bad?
