Legendary Godfather

Lukaku was replaced!

Moreover, the second half of the game had not started for fifteen minutes, so he was replaced early.

If he hadn't been replaced in advance, he would have been given a red card by the referee.

Lukaku has fallen into Van Dijk's trap.

Lukaku was completely angered by Van Dijk and lost his mind.

To be honest, if Lukaku was a little smarter and just gave up the ball when Van Dijk stretched out his hand behind his back and fell backwards, the ball would definitely be called a foul on Van Dijk, and A penalty kick was awarded to Chelsea.

It's a pity that Lukaku couldn't turn around and didn't think of it. ??

This is not a fake fall!

Van Dijk behind him did reach out and pull. Although the movement was very small and the force was light, did you say he pulled?

What is this if it's not a penalty kick?

Therefore, it is entirely his own fault that Lukaku has reached this point.

After being fouled, he was irritated by Van Dijk's words. He completely lost his mind and took action. The referee did not give you a red card directly, even if it was Lukaku.

Think about the consequences of Zidane headbutting Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup final?

Isn't it also a red card?

Your move towards Van Dijk's head was even worse. The referee was really merciful by not showing a red card directly.

If a red card is shown, it will basically declare that Chelsea will lose this game.

No wonder Conte was so angry and eager to replace Batshuayi.

Seeing that Lukaku had received a yellow card, he immediately requested a substitution. He was really afraid that the hot-headed and irrational Lukaku would receive a second yellow card.

Lukaku's expression was very gloomy when he was replaced. When he walked to the sideline, he ignored Batshuayi's raised hands and had no intention of high-fiving. And without even looking at Conte on the sidelines, he walked to the bench with a cold face.

And this guy also ignored his teammates on the bench, went straight to pick up his things, then turned around and walked quickly into the tunnel.

hiss!

Everyone knows that Lukaku is very dissatisfied with him being replaced at this time.

The media reporters are getting excited.

Chelsea are at odds with their generals.

I didn't expect that something like this would happen to Chelsea at this time. This is not a good thing for Chelsea, and it may even affect the team's subsequent games this season.

The cameras at the scene were all focused on Conte and slapped him in the face.

Therefore, Conte's face filled the entire screen.

Does everyone want to see clearly Conte's current expression? Want to find out what Conte is thinking about now?

It's a pity that Conte didn't let everyone get what they wanted.

Conte

His face was expressionless, like a stone Buddha.

For a while, no one saw the change in Conte's expression, and everyone lost interest.

The cameraman also moved the lens and pointed it at the stadium.

As expected, Van Dijk was jumping up and down on the pitch without even receiving treatment.

Shhhhhhh!

Chelsea fans criticized Van Dijk crazily, saying that Van Dijk should go to Hollywood. Hollywood owes Van Dijk an Oscar winner trophy.

Then in this game, as long as Van Dijk holds the ball, Chelsea fans will definitely boo.

But here is the referee of Crystal Palace, how could they let Van Dijk be attacked?

So every time Van Dijk held the ball, all the Crystal Palace people on site applauded and cheered at the same time, completely covering up the boos from the Chelsea fans.

This made Chelsea fans very angry, but there was nothing they could do.

Crystal Palace fans are delighted.

At this time, the second half of the game was still going on.

Not to mention, after Lukaku was replaced, Chelsea's offense was not affected, but became more fierce. This made everyone in Crystal Palace stunned.

Chelsea fans were in for a surprise.

I didn't expect that it was Lukaku who affected our Chelsea offense?

In the 13th minute of the second half, after William received the ball from the wing, he quickly went down and then swept directly in an inverted triangle. The football quickly rolled towards the penalty spot. Batshuayi, who came on as a substitute, blasted the ball with a kick. Rapidly shot towards the Crystal Palace goal. The speed of the ball was very fast, and Maignan in front of the goal was a little unresponsive, but he still subconsciously reached out to intercept it.

With a bang, Maignan actually touched the football. The football immediately flew upwards, then crossed the goalpost and fell to the top net. It was really too dangerous. He almost scored the goal after missing it. Fortunately, Maignan did not give up. Even though he was too late to react, he subconsciously reached out. If he had given up at that time and not stretched out his hand, the ball would have been lost.

Tong Yi immediately came to the sidelines to remind the Crystal Palace players to step up their pressing and attack.

Yes, at this time, Tong Yi reminded the players not to strengthen defense but to strengthen offense.

This made everyone stunned for a moment.

However, people who know the ball soon realized that they should indeed strengthen their pressing and offense at this time. They could not allow Chelsea to attack so unscrupulously, and they still had to put pressure on the opponent's defense and goal.

Chelsea cannot be allowed to continue attacking so unscrupulously. No matter how good Crystal Palace's defense is, it will be dense and sparse, so it is necessary to push Chelsea's formation back.

The Crystal Palace players in the stadium nodded and made it clear.

Chelsea's corner kick, Louis in the penalty area jumped up high and headed the ball towards the goal. With a bang, the football shot towards the upper back corner of the goal. Just as he was about to score, Cancelo jumped high on the goal line and pushed the football away.

Chelsea are really disappointed.

The football came to De Bruyne in the middle. De Bruyne did not stop the ball at all, but directly moved the football diagonally behind his body to the wing. As soon as the football flew out, Fabregas quickly came behind him. The ground rushed up and stretched out his legs to intercept, but unfortunately he did not touch the football.

De Bruyne was more than a second faster.

The football rolled rapidly to the wing. Mbappe on the wing immediately turned sideways and pulled the rolling football in front of him. Then facing Alonso who rushed up to intercept, he made a fierce move and hit hard. Push the football forward six or seven meters. The football quickly rolled past Alonso's outstretched right leg and towards Chelsea's half.

Alonso was shocked, this was going to be dangerous!

If Mbappé rushes over, he may have to fight alone.

After all, this is Chelsea's corner kick attack, and the backcourt defense is very empty. He is basically the team's last line of defense now, and Mbappe cannot be allowed to rush past.

Therefore, seeing that the football was not intercepted, he directly hugged the person from the waist and intercepted the person.

foul!

No doubt about the foul!

The referee rushed over and gave Alonso a yellow card.

This made the players and fans of Crystal Palace very dissatisfied. They all thought that this should be a red card. The fans at the scene also booed wildly and put pressure on the referee.

However, the referee still insisted on the original decision.

Seeing this, Tong Yi felt speechless. This ball can indeed be given a red card.

Seeing this, Conte also breathed a sigh of relief.

Conte then rushed out, roaring wildly at the Chelsea players, reminding them to pay attention to their defence.

Crystal Palace quickly took the free kick, and De Bruyne passed the football directly to the other side of the frontcourt. The football landed accurately at Salah's feet. Salah immediately cut inside with the ball, and then fired an angry shot at the first moment - a fake shot, then continued to break through with the ball horizontally along the line of the penalty area, leaving a gap of space and directly shot with his legs. The football roared out quickly. Biao shot towards Chelsea's goal.

clang!

The football hit the goal post hard and bounced back quickly.

c. Ronaldo and Luis rushed forward quickly and shoveled the football.

With a bang, C. Ronaldo scooped the football. Unfortunately, it seemed that the ball was not very fast due to the interference of Luis. The football was directly hugged by Courtois in front of the goal.

Living.

It's so suspenseful, Crystal Palace almost expanded the score.

Courtois picked up the football and rushed out. He threw the ball with a strong hand and quickly threw the football to the frontcourt. After Bell took the ball, he immediately accelerated and rushed forward. Facing the Crystal Palace defender, he immediately passed the ball diagonally back to Cesc Fabregas who was diagonally behind. And he himself accelerated towards the Crystal Palace defenders and rushed towards the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Fabregas didn't stop the ball at all because he already felt De Bruyne and Kanter rushing towards him. If he procrastinates too much, this opportunity will be gone.

Therefore, Fabregas did not stop the ball at all, and immediately started to pass the long pass.

The football passed over the heads of the Crystal Palace wing defenders and flew in front of Bell who was rushing forward.

Bell's speed advantage came into play instantly. He quickly got rid of the defender behind him and caught up with Upamecano in front of him before he rushed up quickly. Then, when Upamecano lost his footing, he suddenly accelerated and rushed past Upamecano again.

Bell's side went straight into the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Suddenly all the Crystal Palace fans were extremely nervous. It was dangerous.

Van Dijk immediately moved over and intercepted Bell, preventing Bell from continuing to hold the ball and cut inside, threatening the goal.

But Bale is a very good timing guy. Just when Van Dijk pounced, Upamecano turned back to defend and pounced in the middle. The moment it was not timely, Bale suddenly kicked an inverted triangle and passed it directly from the safest line. Passed the football. Van Dijk and Upamecano were unable to do anything about the ball and could only watch the ball rolling towards Batshuayi who was following.

All Crystal Palace people at the scene pinned their hopes on Maignan.

Maignan himself is also confident.

However, Batshuayi rushed up and hit the football hard, and the football shot quickly towards the lower right corner of the goal. The ball was very fast and the angle was very tricky. Maignan reacted quickly but did not touch the ball.

The ball went in, Chelsea equalized the score, and it was Batshuayi who scored!

Seeing here, Mortensen and Shearer are looking at each other. Is the reason why Chelsea is lagging behind really due to Lukaku?

If not, why did Chelsea score as soon as Lukaku was replaced?

And the goal was scored by Batshuayi who replaced Lukaku. Does this mean that if Batshuayi had replaced Lukaku earlier, Chelsea would have scored a goal long ago and even be ahead of Crystal Palace. ? After all, Lukaku got a lot of chances in the first half and wasted a lot of them. If all these opportunities were given to Batshuayi, would Batshuayi have already scored a hat trick?

Sure enough, Lukaku is only the most powerful when he talks before a game!
