He had also played against Manchester United before when he was at Real Madrid.

However, now he is playing against Manchester United as a Premier League team. This is the first time in his career!

This is also the first time Ronaldo has played against his old club Manchester United since returning to the Premier League, which is naturally worth looking forward to.

Fans from all over the world are now paying attention to this game. They all want to see what kind of state Ronaldo will be in when facing his old club Manchester United? They also want to see what Manchester United fans think of this?

In the minds of Manchester United fans, Ronaldo should still be the legendary superstar of their club, right?

At this time, will they cheer for Ronaldo?

Everyone is looking forward to this game, looking forward to Ronaldo massacring his old club.

But at this moment, when the players from both sides followed the referee team into the stadium, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV discovered that Ronaldo did not appear in the starting lineup for this game at all. Was sitting on the bench.

Everyone was a little stunned.

How can this be?

c.Isn’t Ronaldo the absolute main force of Crystal Palace? Why didn't he start in such an important game? What on earth is going on at Crystal Palace? What on earth is Tong Yi, a Chinese bastard doing?

Everyone can’t understand Tong Yi’s operation!

Manchester United's head coach Mourinho was also a little surprised. He immediately turned to the sidelines and looked at Tong Yi. He also wanted to find out what Tong Yi was thinking? Do you look down on our Manchester United team, or do you simply want to rotate and prepare for the opening game of the Premier League three days later?

Yes, just 3 days later, the 2017-2018 Premier League season will begin.

However, Crystal Palace's opponent in the first round of the new season is newly promoted Huddersfield. Their opponents are not strong and there should be no need for rotation. After all, the next game will be rotated, and their Crystal Palace can easily win!

And the new season has just begun. Aren’t the Crystal Palace players all in full fitness and in the best shape? Is there any need to rotate now?

There is no need at all!

Do you, Tong Yi, really look down on our Manchester United team?

Mourinho stared at Tong Yi. If you really think so, then your Crystal Palace game will be over. The winner must be our Manchester United team.

Fans on both sides expressed some surprise. Why wasn't Ronaldo allowed to start?

We need Ronaldo

!

"Wow, what a surprise. Crystal Palace didn't let Cristiano Ronaldo start the game. I don't know what Huaxia Tong's considerations were. However, Giroud is also a very strong player. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't In the starting lineup, Crystal Palace is still very strong. If Manchester United underestimates Crystal Palace because of this, the Manchester United people will suffer. Giroud is not much worse than Ronaldo!" Mortensen also felt a little bit when he saw Ronaldo not starting. Shock. Of course, he also believes that this will not affect the strength of Crystal Palace.

However, Manchester United fans probably don't believe it.

The European Super Cup champion belongs to our Manchester United team!

Long live Manchester United!

"From the perspective of the starting lineup of Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace has indeed rotated. After all, many main players are not in the starting lineup. But from another perspective, it is the gap between the main players and substitutes in Crystal Palace. The positioning is not so clear. Everyone is the main force and they are just here to share the playing time. The strength gap between the players in Crystal Palace is not very big, so I can understand this rotation at this time!" Said by media reporters So said Shearer, the man who knows Crystal Palace best.

As soon as he said this, all the fans at the scene shook their heads. They all disagreed with Shearer's statement.

There was no explanation from Shearer's side because the game had already started.

This is really great!

At this time, Manchester United's attack came near the Crystal Palace penalty area. Lingard on the wing received the football and directly passed a curve ball towards Morata in the penalty area.

Unfortunately, what he gave was not a high ball, but a low ball!

This made Morata feel a little uncomfortable!

But, to be honest, this pass was passed very well and very accurately. It even passed Van Dijk at the front point. Morata in the middle should be able to easily reach the football with his legs and complete the push shot.

Unexpectedly, Morata missed the kick, and the football slid past the goal and rolled out of the bottom line on the other side.

Suddenly the whole audience was filled with regret!

Manchester United fans are really, really sorry. What a great opportunity this is!

Just now, even Manchester United fans were preparing to cheer and celebrate the goal. They all thought that Morata should be able to score easily with this goal. Who knew that such an accident would happen?

Even Mourinho on the sidelines was stunned. He also thought that this goal would definitely be scored.

Who knew that this would happen in the end?

Morat himself was in disbelief. He held his head in his hands and kept regretting, shouting "Hell!"

The players and fans of Crystal Palace were shocked. It was so dangerous.

Lingard's passing is really good. It is said that his idol is Ronaldo, and he even briefly learned football skills from Ronaldo when he was young.

I performed very well today.

At least it is performing very well so far, which makes Manchester United fans full of expectations. Maybe in this game, their Lingard will perform better and better!

Maignan directly kicked the football out, and the football shot quickly into the Manchester United half.

Giroud jumped high and successfully grabbed the ball directly from Smalling's head. The Manchester United fans were shocked. Could Smallin even fight for it?

Giroud shook his head directly

Crossing, the football was sent to the feet of Salah on the wing.

Salah did not hold the ball forward, but made a diagonal push, pushing the football to Theo who was advancing from the wing. Theo rushed up quickly and made a pass... Fake, he smashed the ball directly past the Manchester United wing-back Valencia who was retreating from the wing. He immediately cut inside with the ball and scored in Manchester United. team's penalty area.

Danger, Manchester United is in danger!

The hearts of the Manchester United fans at the scene were about to jump out of their throats.

Danger!

Special Olympics saw Giroud rushing up from the center to ask for the ball, and he also saw Salah raising his hand to ask for the ball from behind. But he didn't hesitate at all. He didn't pass the ball at all and just shot with a kick.

With a bang, Te'ao shot from a small angle, the ball speed was very fast, like a bolt of lightning.

The football shot quickly towards the Manchester United goal. The Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea in front of the goal immediately pounced out like lightning, blocking the near corner!

The Manchester United fans at the scene immediately gave De Gea a thumbs up. Although our Manchester United team's defense is poor, we have De Gea. Crystal Palace can't score this goal!

With a snap, De Gea hit the football directly with his palm. The football immediately changed direction and stretched out the bottom line.

pretty! All the Manchester United fans at the scene gave De Gea applause and secretly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. Their defense was indeed like paper. Especially Valencia on the wing, which made the young Theo break through too easily.

The little guy Te'o is too fast, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. The quality of this explosive shot is very high. If it weren't for De Gea guarding the goal, this goal would undoubtedly have been scored. Even De Gea was a little scared because he was not 100% sure. Fortunately, luck was on their side and he pounced the football.

Then De Gea glanced at Valencia lightly, without any roaring or cursing at all.

It seems that De Gea is used to it. He knows that roaring is useless, so he just lets it go!

However, Valencia still raised his hand to admit his mistake to De Gea, indicating that the goal was his fault.

Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity. Giroud immediately walked into the Manchester United penalty area, and the Manchester United players suddenly felt the pressure. They all knew how powerful Giroud was. If this guy walks in, he's in trouble!

Dericht and Lindelof both walked towards Giroud, intending to guard Giroud.

It can be seen that their defense against Giroud is also very strict. They will not give Giroud a chance to easily header. They must defend to the death!

However, at this time, Crystal Palace did not take the corner kick directly into the Manchester United penalty area. Instead, he drove directly to the edge of the penalty area. De Bruyne, who was ambushing outside, did not stop the ball and volleyed directly into the air. With a bang, the football shot quickly towards the Manchester United goal.

It's dangerous!

This goal was more dangerous than Theo's shot just now, and the Manchester United fans froze in breath.
