Legendary Godfather

September 29, 2017, Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester, England, the weather is sunny!

"Hello, viewers, fans, everyone! This is BBC Sports, and I am Mortensen." BBC Sports broadcast the game live, and Mortensen is now sitting at the Old Trafford Stadium to commentate. On the table.

"Hello everyone, I am Alan Shearer as you are familiar with it!" Shearer introduced himself.

"Hello everyone, we are Gary Neville!" Yes, Neville also came to the commentary box today to explain this Manchester United game.

It can be seen that BBC Sports still attaches great importance to this game.

Mortensen immediately said, "What we bring to you today is a highlight of the 7th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season. The two sides are the home team Manchester United and the visiting team Crystal Palace."

Shearer also immediately said, "Manchester United is currently ranked second in the Premier League, and Crystal Palace is ranked first in the Premier League. This game can be regarded as the battle of Tianwangshan in the Premier League this season. I wonder who can win this game?"

Neville immediately answered, "I still think Manchester United has a higher winning rate. After all, Manchester United is in very bad shape now and they are playing at home. It is difficult for them not to win!"

Mortensen did not speak, but turned directly to look at Hiller.

Shearer smiled slightly and said, "It is an indisputable fact that Manchester United has been in good form recently, but is Crystal Palace in bad form? It can be said that Crystal Palace is currently the best team in the Premier League. From the beginning of the new season to now, Crystal Palace has still They have never lost, and among their opponents are strong teams such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool. So I think Crystal Palace is the strongest team in the Premier League at present. Even in away games, they still occupy an absolute advantage. The advantage is greater, and the winning rate is greater!”

Mortensen smiled slightly, and that was indeed the case.

In fact, the fans in front of the TV also know very well that today BBC Sports invited these two people to come at the same time, isn't it just to make them stand on opposite sides and output?

Mortensen immediately said, "Both of them are right, so who will win this game? Let's wait and see!"

The Manchester United fans at the scene have made Old Trafford the home of the Red Devils, and now they are singing "Glory Belongs to Manchester United". They are very excited and excited, and their voices are very loud. There is nothing to say about the atmosphere at this home court, which makes the away fans feel the pressure.

However, the Crystal Palace players in the stadium did not seem to be greatly affected. They were full of expectations.

As soon as Tong Yi entered the court, Manchester United's head coach Mourinho came over and extended his hand to Tong Yi. The first words he said were not polite words, but said directly: " Sorry, David, our Manchester United team is determined to win this game! Today, we have to wrong you Crystal Palace to lose."

Tong Yi was slightly startled, what is going on?

He said, "Really? Then let me see the strength of your Manchester United team. But seriously, is your team really better than Manchester City?"

Mourinho's pupils shrank and his eyes tightened. This Chinese soft rice man really didn't suffer at all. \u003c

br\u003e

Mourinho twitched the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face and said lightly, "Is it strong or not? I believe you will get the answer after the game is over. But I'm afraid this answer is not what you want."

Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Really? I'll wait and see!"

At this time, there was a bit of tension between the head coaches of the two teams. It could be seen that Mourinho really wanted to win this game.

With victory in this game, Manchester United will reach the top of the Premier League.

Can our Manchester United team lose this game?

Of course not!

Must win!

Mourinho glanced at Tong Yi, then turned and left directly, walking back to his coaching bench.

Tong Yi shook his head slightly, chuckled, walked back to his coaching bench, and sat down.

At this time, the players from both sides followed the referee team into the stadium. The game was really about to start.

"Dear viewers, the players from both sides have already entered the stadium. I would like to take this time to introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides today." Mortensen said immediately, attracting the attention of the fans at the scene.

What is the starting lineup of both sides today? Everyone is still looking forward to it.

At another moment, Mortensen began to introduce.

Today’s starting lineups for both sides are as follows:

Home team Manchester United, head coach Mourinho, formation 4231

De Gea

Back four from left to right Ashley Young, Ginter, Smalling and Valencia

Double defensive midfielder Fellaini and Matic

Three midfielders from left to right Rashford, Mkhitaryan and Mata

Lone striker Morata

Visiting team Crystal Palace, head coach Tong Yi, formation 4213

goalkeeper Maignan

Back four from left to right Cancelo, Rudiger, Van Dijk and Carvajal

Double defensive midfielder Casemiro and Kante

Single attacking midfielder De Bruyne

The three forwards from left to right Salah, Ronaldo and Mbappe

beep!

At this time, the referee Martin Atkinson blew the whistle to start the game.

The first team to kick off was the home team Manchester United. They still put on a defensive counterattack posture. Although there was some high pressure, they quickly retreated to their own half to solidly defend, and then seized the opportunity to counterattack.

At this point, Manchester United had the ball and they launched an attack.

Then shortly after passing the midfield, the football was intercepted by Kanter.

Kanter's coverage area is really large, and he also has a defensive option behind him.

With the protection of Casemiro, who has excellent defensive skills, he played more boldly. That's why Kante interrupted the football at Mkhitaryan's feet, and the football came directly to De Bruyne's feet.

Manchester United was in danger, and their defensive players immediately retreated quickly to defend.

Crystal Palace wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack quickly, but De Bruyne did not delay at all. The football was immediately delivered to the feet of Mbappe on the wing.

Mbappe immediately took the ball after receiving the ball, quickly cut inside, and headed towards Manchester United's penalty area.

Mbappe was very fast. Ashley Young didn't have time to stop Mbappe, and Mbappe entered the Manchester United penalty area. Mourinho suddenly stood up on the coaching bench and stared at the stadium in horror.

With a bang, Mbappé shot directly with his legs.

The football roared out and flew directly to the top corner of the near post of Manchester United's goal. The ball was very fast.

With a snap, De Gea hit the ball and saved the ball directly from the baseline.

The Manchester United fans at the scene were all trembling with fright. It was really dangerous just now. Ashley Young, you are an old player now, how could you be broken through so easily? Haven't you entered the state and rhythm of the game yet? Old comrade, something is wrong with you!

Ashley Young is in trouble and can’t express it!

Isn't it just because he's old that he can't keep up with Mbappe's pace? If it were his younger self, he really wouldn't be afraid of Mbappe's speed and speed. But now he is indeed old. As he gets older, his speed and other qualities have declined.

This time, when faced with Mbappe's sudden pass and cut, he still didn't react.

Fortunately, De Gea is still there in front of the goal, and Ashley Young is relieved with him.

After De Gea got up and looked at Ashley Young, he was helpless, but he didn't say anything. To be honest, I don’t know when De Gea started to be reluctant to talk in front of the court. Maybe Chi had complained too much before, and complaining was useless, so he stopped talking.

Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity.

De Gea in the penalty area immediately pointed at Ronaldo, reminding the Manchester United players to pay attention to this guy!

The Manchester United fans at the scene looked at Ronaldo in the stadium with very complicated emotions. After all, Ronaldo was also a superhero of their Manchester United team. Now they have become enemies, which is still very awkward.

Of course, before the game started, reporters from major media were frantically reporting and exaggerating this matter.

This is Ronaldo's first confrontation with his old club Manchester United after returning to the Premier League. This is worthy of attention.

Everyone wants to see what Ronaldo will do in this game?

And what is the attitude of Manchester United fans towards Ronaldo?

Live Man

Most fans of the United team are relatively friendly and do not regard Ronaldo as a traitor. Many people even held up banners "Welcome Ronaldo Home" to show Ronaldo their current situation. Heart traces.

At this time, Ronaldo's mood should be more complicated, right?

Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity.

c. Ronaldo frequently seized advantageous positions in the penalty area, and Manchester United's defensive players tried their best to defend. At this moment, Cancelo in the corner kick drove the football directly to the front point of the penalty area.

Van Dijk, who was in the front, rushed out quickly and rushed towards the football!

Beside him, Fellaini followed quickly, and the two of them moved forward and back. But the Manchester United fans at the scene were very nervous and worried. It was dangerous!

Even if it’s the front and back legs, this is free!

Danger!

With a bang, Van Dijk, who was in the forward position, turned back to the crescent moon and swung the football hard towards the far upper corner of the goal.

The football even drew a beautiful parabola in the air, passed over the head of the jumping De Gea, and then quickly fell into the Manchester United goal.

The ball went in!

Less than five minutes into the first half, away team Crystal Palace scored.

Shearer in the commentary box also felt unbelievable and held his head with both hands. Neville's eyes widened and he expressed disbelief!

How can it be?

"The ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in!" Mortensen roared excitedly, his voice was very loud, like a machine gun that kept clicking, " Beautiful, beautiful goal. Van Dijk's goal was really wonderful. Even De Gea couldn't do anything with this goal. It was so wonderful. Of course, this goal came too unexpectedly, but this This just shows the strength of Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace should be able to win this game."

Neville immediately said, "This goal is a bit lucky. Van Dijk was forced to make such a choice under the pressure of Fellaini. Because of the situation at the time, he had the only choice, so the goal was mainly Luck is not a reflection of the strength of the two teams. So, I think this cannot explain the problem. Of course, this goal is indeed a wonderful goal, but it is impossible to defeat our Manchester United team with this."

Yes, Neville really can't accept it. This goal was an accident.

Shearer said, "The ball coordination is very tacit, and looking at Van Dijk's movements, it is obviously intentional. Obviously this routine is a tactical coordination that the Crystal Palace people have practiced countless times, and it is played this time, and it is very exciting. I hope. They can continue to persevere, compete well, and try to win this game.”

Neville curled his lips slightly. He didn't believe what Shearer said. This goal was obviously an accident. What a bullshit tactical routine!

However, it is an indisputable fact that Manchester United fell behind. Therefore, Neville is also secretly cheering for Manchester United in his heart!
