Legendary Godfather

One to zero, Crystal Palace took the lead.

The entire Emirates Stadium was completely silent.

Arsenal fans really didn't expect that the game would start like this, and they looked very bad.

Wenger's expression on the sideline suddenly became solemn.

The rotation players of Crystal Palace played really well, which was a bit beyond his expectations.

Because these rotation players in Crystal Palace play in perfect harmony, it feels like one plus one is greater than two. This makes it difficult for Arsenal. He thought that the strength of Crystal Palace's starting rotation would be compromised, but it seems that it is not much worse than the main players of Crystal Palace.

This makes the Arsenal team more difficult to handle.

However, now they are behind and Arsenal have no other choice.

Wenger waved for the Arsenal people to attack.

The Arsenal men were about to attack.

The Arsenal players on the court also received the order instantly and then began to counterattack crazily.

Not to mention, the sudden acceleration of the Arsenal people really caught the Crystal Palace people off guard.

In the 12th minute of the game, Arsenal's midfielder Goldfish Eyes sent a precise diagonal ball, quickly pushing the football to the wing. Chamberlain, who was advancing from the wing of the penalty area, caught up with the football number one A cross was made as soon as the time was up, and the football flew quickly into the Crystal Palace penalty area.

To be honest, Chamberlain has good physical fitness, strong breakthrough ability, and his shooting skills are not bad. But his passing ability was really terrible, even after he went to Liverpool. He is more on the wing to create space for Arnold behind him to cross. His own crossing ability is really not flattering.

However, what was unexpected was that Chamberlain's pass was very accurate.

The football went directly over the head of Van Dijk at the forward point and flew directly to the head of Giroud in the center.

Giroud jumped high and shook his head to meet the ball. The football hit the crossbar of the Crystal Palace goal like a shell, and then bounced off the baseline. The Crystal Palace goal was still buzzing!

Arsenal fans put their heads in their hands and were filled with regret.

This is an excellent opportunity!

Tong Yi was a little surprised and uncertain, and turned his head to stare at Chamberlain.

When did this guy cross so accurately? This guy's previous cross success rate seems to have been less than 20, right? Today he sent such an accurate cross? Could it be that this guy developed a good passing ability under Wenger's supervision?

If this is the case, then Chamberlain's future achievements will definitely be higher.

If this is the case, Arsenal will become even more difficult to deal with.

However, Tong Yi soon discovered that he was overthinking.

Chamberlain's passing ability is still as good as before, and the next few passes are very outrageous, and two of them are even passed directly.

The bottom line is that it is very unreliable. Seeing that the previous pass was really a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, it was all about luck.

Seeing this, Tong Yi felt a lot more relieved.

However, Arsenal's offense was indeed very fierce during this period, causing them a lot of trouble for Crystal Palace.

Just now, Arsenal's attack passed through the other side and threatened the Crystal Palace goal.

Monreal and Sanchez played wonderful cooperation one after another, and then Monreal made a curved pass, directly and accurately finding Giroud in the penalty area. Giroud jumped high this time, overwhelming Upamecano, and hit the football hard with a lion's head, and the football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.

The hair on the hair of the Crystal Palace fans in the stands stood up when they saw the ball.

Danger!

Arsenal fans stood up excitedly and cheered excitedly.

But the next moment, it was as if someone had suddenly choked their necks, their cheers were all choked below their necks, and they could not make a sound.

At the speed of life and death, Alisson jumped in and knocked the football out of the baseline with one palm.

Nice save!

A little later, the ball flew directly into the Crystal Palace goal.

very dangerous.

At this time, Crystal Palace fans really don't dare to underestimate the Arsenal people at all. Arsenal's offense is indeed very sharp. Although the offensive routine seems to be a bit simpler during this period, the effect is very good.

Giroud does have some advantages in the penalty area, and Upamecano feels tremendous pressure now.

However, Arsenal also has a problem, that is, they cannot guarantee that they can accurately deliver the football to Giroud's head in the penalty area every time, and their crosses do not seem to be reliable.

Moreover, Crystal Palace will not frequently give you Arsenal crosses, unless it is Chamberlain.

Chamberlain really feels that he has been discriminated against now. He found that when other Arsenal players cross the ball, the Crystal Palace defense will be very tight, giving them almost no chance to cross. But for him, it's not that strict. It seems to give him a feeling of letting him cross and strictly preventing him from breaking through.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Chamberlain's breakthrough is very sharp and his shooting skills are also good. If this guy is allowed to break through, it will be very dangerous. It is better to let this guy pass the ball. His cross is unreliable anyway.

Judging from Chamberlain's previous passing success rate, it would be good for him to make one or two accurate passes in this game. And he has already made an accurate pass once before, so he may not be able to pass it accurately again in the future!

So, at this time

Chamberlain's face was very dark, and he stared at the Crystal Palace defensive players with extremely fierce eyes.

Corner kick, Arsenal got a corner kick opportunity.

Monreal drove the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area with an arc. Giroud in the middle of the penalty area immediately jumped up. Arsenal fans were very excited, and the opportunity came.

Giroud, come on!

With a pop, Alisson, who rushed out quickly, reached over Giroud's head and hugged the football firmly.

Arsenal fans were very disappointed and then they became nervous.

Counterattack, Crystal Palace launched a quick counterattack.

Alisson threw the ball vigorously, and Asensio caught the ball on the wing. Then a long diagonal pass was passed to Mbappe who was advancing forward. Just when Mbappe was about to receive the ball, Holding rushed out and headed the ball directly and pushed the football away.

The football flew out of the sideline and Crystal Palace's counterattack was disrupted.

The Arsenal fans at the scene immediately applauded Holding. This little guy looks pretty good. If you give him time to grow, his future will be unlimited.

Come on, Holding!

Sideline ball, Crystal Palace quickly threw the sideline ball.

The football rolled to Mbappe's feet. After passing the ball, Mbappe immediately dribbled the ball forward at high speed. Seeing Holding in front of him, Mbappe suddenly made a breakthrough through his crotch. The football quickly rolled past Holding's crotch. At the same time, Mbappe went around Holding like a bolt of lightning. Follow football!

It’s that simple, direct and crude!

Holding judged that there was a mistake here, and first tried to clamp his legs to block the football, but failed. Then he quickly pounced on Mbappe, trying to block Mbappe with a foul, but failed.

Mbappe quickly dodged the opponent's foul action, quickly caught up with the football, and directly crossed into the penalty area, wanting to go to the meeting alone.

However, Koscielny is already in place, directly in front of Mbappe.

Everyone thought that Mbappe would change direction or pass the football directly, but who knew that Mbappe actually ran in the middle of the field and swung his leg, hit the football hard with one kick, and the football shot towards Arsenal quickly. goal.

This shot came too suddenly, and the Arsenal fans were frightened.

But Koscielny in front of Mbappe reacted very quickly, stretching his legs to intercept at lightning speed.

With a bang, Koscielny's outstretched leg actually intercepted the flight of the football and blocked the football!

pretty!

All the Arsenal fans at the scene gave Koscielny applause. This defense is really great. It is worthy of being the anchor of our Arsenal's defense. Perfect!

But it was blocked

The football flew straight in front of Jimenez in the middle of the penalty area.

Danger!

All Arsenal fans were desperate, and some even couldn't stand it anymore and closed their eyes in despair.

Gabriel was also shocked. He rushed towards Jimenez desperately, with only one thought in his mind, that is, Jimenez must not be allowed to complete the follow-up shot!

Absolutely not!

Jimenez didn't notice what was going on behind him at all, all he could see was the football flying over.

Spotting the incoming ball, Jimenez stretched his legs immediately and fired a follow-up shot!

He didn't swing his legs at all, but stretched his legs lightly and quickly to push towards the football. This saves time. You can complete the follow-up shot immediately. It is a waste of time to swing your legs and use force.

What we are pursuing at this time is speed!

Therefore, Jimenez immediately stretched his legs to shoot.

The ball is there!

With a bang, Jimenez did not touch the football at all, and his whole body was knocked to the ground by Gabriel who rushed towards him from behind.

Toot toot!

England immediately blew the whistle and called a foul!

He pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation and awarded the penalty kick. Because this was an unquestionable penalty, and the Arsenal people couldn't defend it even if they wanted to.

Of course, England also took out a yellow card from his jacket pocket and showed it to Gabriel.

To be honest, Crystal Palace fans are very dissatisfied. They felt that England had some tricks in this goal, and this goal should actually have resulted in a red card. After all, Gabriel's side ruined a chance for them to score a goal. Gabriel rushed the ball instead of the ball. This should be a red card.

Perhaps this is because Arsenal plays at home, and England gives the Arsenal people a little care.

The Crystal Palace people were very dissatisfied.

The Crystal Palace fans who came to the scene were all madly dissing England, the referee of this game. They felt that England was too biased towards Arsenal, otherwise Arsenal would have been beaten into pieces long ago.

Tong Yi also expressed his dissatisfaction on the sidelines and put pressure on the referee.

I hope that in the following games, this guy from England can restrain himself. Otherwise, who knows what will happen after this game?

Although everyone was not very satisfied with the referee's decision, they were still satisfied with the result.

Jimenez, who walked up to the penalty spot, personally took the penalty kick. He did it in one fell swoop and directly drove the football into the lower right corner of the goal.

With a score of 2-0, Crystal Palace expanded its lead before the end of the first half and has one foot in the finals of this season's English FA Cup.
