Legendary Godfather

October 18, 2017, Lyudski Stadium, Maribor, Slovenia, cloudy.

The stadium, which can accommodate more than 12,000 fans, was full this year.

Although there were not many away fans in sight.

This is enough to show the enthusiasm of the home team fans in this game. They all came to support Maribor and witnessed Maribor's victory over Crystal Palace.

After all, Crystal Palace is the Champions League champion. It would be a great honor to defeat them. Who wouldn't want to be there in person?

Yes, now Maribor fans feel that Maribor will win.

At this time, Tong Yi walked into the stadium.

Milanic walked over quickly and extended his right hand to Tong Yi from a distance, with a very low posture.

This was beyond Tong Yi's expectation.

Milanic said enthusiastically in his rough voice, "Welcome to Slovenia, Mr. Tong Yi!"

Seriously, Milanic is so polite.

Naturally, Tong Yi would not be too boastful, so he responded enthusiastically.

The two chatted for a while, as if they were not meeting for the first time, but were acquaintances who had known each other for many years. This made the fans at the scene and in front of the TV full of confusion. Of course, Tong Yi was also very confused.

He didn't know why Milanic put his posture so low?

However, the game had already started at this time, and Tong Yi couldn't think too much, so he just threw himself into the game.

This game is also very important for Crystal Palace and must be won.

However, Crystal Palace did carry out a large-scale rotation in this game. None of the main players played. Even Maignan and the irreplaceable Van Dijk did not appear in the game. They were all rotations and substitute players.

It was precisely because of seeing this that Maribor felt that they could do it again.

However, just two minutes into the game, Crystal Palace gave Maribor a blow to the head.

Midfielder Joan Armene intercepted the ball and sent the ball to Llorente's feet. Llorente saw Sabitzer retreating to catch the ball, but he did not pass the football to Sabitzer. Because he saw the opponent's Braz Vohovich behind Sabitzer rushing up quickly, trying to steal the ball from behind.

He then directly passed a long diagonal pass, passed an overhead kick, and passed the football directly to the feet of Gnabry who was advancing forward. After Gnabry held the ball, he rushed forward with the ball in small steps, seemingly about to break through. The opponent's full-back knew that Gnabry was very fast, so the home team backed away some distance to open up space and prevent Gnabry from taking advantage of his speed.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gnabry suddenly made a pass, and the football drew an arc and flew quickly into the center of Maribor's penalty area. Giroud, who rushed up from the center, jumped high and overwhelmed the opponent's center back Ladacevic. Tarzan smashed the football into Maribor's goal.

Samir Handanovic's cousin Jasmin Handanovic reacted quickly, but the team was too fast, so he didn't touch the football at all, and the ball flew quickly into Maribor's goal.

One to zero, crystal

Palace took the lead.

Yes, Maribor's main goalkeeper is Inter Milan Handanovic's cousin, and he is also Inter Milan Handanovic's substitute in the Slovenian national team.

This guy is very tall and his reactions are relatively quick.

He once played for a team in the Italian Second Division and was quite capable.

However, this time he still failed to stop the football from flying into the goal.

Seeing this, the scene that was noisy just now was completely silent, and no one among the more than 12,000 people made a sound. Only the Crystal Palace people in the stadium were celebrating and shouting.

Tong Yi on the sidelines also smiled and applauded. He didn't expect that the game would go so smoothly. He scored a goal just after the game started. This was just like bringing the ball into the field. Very good.

Tong Yi shouted loudly into the stadium, "You're playing well, just play like this, come on!"

Tong Yi is really satisfied.

And Milanic frowned. He didn't expect that the game would suddenly turn out like this? This is just the beginning! What happen to you guys? What about the rhetoric before the game?

Milanic was speechless and immediately came to the sidelines to remind the Maribor players to pay attention to defense.

Maribor's players immediately made adjustments and prepared to strengthen their attack. But they soon discovered that it would not work. It would be difficult for them to send the football to the hinterland of the Crystal Palace penalty area. There were a few rare times when the ball was sent up directly through Bigfoot, but there was almost no chance to threaten the Crystal Palace goal.

Most of the time the football was wandering around Maribor's penalty area, because the Crystal Palace high press was really too fierce and sharp. Where in the Slovenian league have the people of Maribor ever suffered such persecution? This intensity really makes them powerless.

Football is often intercepted by the Crystal Palace players before half time has passed.

Moreover, after the football was stolen, the Crystal Palace people switched offense and defense very quickly. It was impossible for Maribor to organize the defense line immediately. Therefore, their defense gives people a feeling of being full of holes. The Crystal Palace people can quickly and easily send the football to the most dangerous position.

Danger, it is really dangerous here in Maribor.

Seeing this, the Maribor people in the stands don't have the arrogance and confidence they had before the game. Their clenched fists were full of cold sweat, and they were all extremely nervous.

Milanic on the sidelines was jumping up and down, reminding the team's players how to defend, but the effect was not good.

At this time, Joan Armene, who was pressing forward in the midfield, stole the ball again. He immediately pushed the football to Theo who was coming up from the wing. After holding the ball, Specialo quickly moved along the sideline. After attracting the defensive players, he immediately passed the football to the pressing side. Yan Yufeng is in the middle. Yan Yufeng caught the ball, and the opponent's defensive players immediately pounced on him. Then he pushed the football forward, and the football was passed to Special Olympics who was advancing from the wing.

Special Olympics caught up with the football, slammed the football towards the baseline, and when the football was about to roll out of the baseline, he caught up with the football and swept it horizontally with his legs. Sabitzer, who quickly followed up and came in, met the ball and fired a shot, and the football rushed towards the lower corner of the far goal.

The ball speed is very fast, as fast as lightning.

Jasmine in front of the goal was tall and strong, but his speed was still a little slow, so the football rushed past him and into the goal.

Two to zero, Crystal Palace once again expanded the score.

Seeing this, the people of Maribor once again lost their voices collectively.

Milanic on the sidelines felt despair and endless pressure. The strength of Crystal Palace was indeed much stronger than theirs, and they had almost no power to resist.

However, Milanic still did not give up and was still giving advice to his players to cheer them up.

But, to be honest, the effect is not very ideal.

The main reason is that the gap in strength is too big.

The game is still going on, and the Maribor people are naturally attacking like crazy. They tried their best, but the number of times they can threaten the Crystal Palace goal is really very few. The only two effective shots were long shots. The goal of Crystal Palace is also relatively far away, and there is no hope of scoring a goal at all.

In fact, after seeing this, the media reporters could tell that Maribor was doomed.

You guys can't even touch the opponent's goal. How can you possibly win the game? You guys in Maribor were really too optimistic before the game, that's why you played so passively in this game.

It was too late for Milanic to adjust at this time. To be honest, if they had put up a defensive formation from the beginning, there is no chance that they would have gotten a draw. Now, there is almost no chance.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace advanced with the ball. Llorente and Sabitze passed the ball one after another, and went directly to the hinterland of Maribor's penalty area many times. The Maribor fans instantly became nervous again, and every one of them was very nervous and worried.

Before the Maribor players had time to rush to intercept, Llorente suddenly shot from a position thirty meters away from the goal. The football shot out like a cannonball, quickly. Di Fei shot towards the upper right corner of the goal.

This ball is really fast and the angle is tricky. Even if it were Jammings' cousin Samir Handanovic, he couldn't save this ball. The goalkeeper can't be blamed for this ball. This ball is a must-goal. !

Seeing this, Jammings was also very speechless. How can you let the opponent comfortably take a long shot with this ball? How did you defend?

Milanic on the sidelines was also very dissatisfied. He was attacking the two defensive midfielders in the midfield. Can you defend?

This ball is really a mental breakdown. Wherever Llorente holds the ball, there is no one to block or interfere. This is really giving the Crystal Palace people a goal.

\u003c

br\u003e Damn it!

Now we are already behind 0-3. What will happen in the next game?

At this time, the game is not over. The Crystal Palace people are attacking one after another, taking turns to attack Maribor's goal. Maribor's goal is in danger. If it weren't for Jammings' outstanding performance during this period, which was a bit like his cousin's, he could keep Maribor's goal from conceding any more goals.

The Maribor fans at the scene gave Jammings applause. Without him, Maribor's goal would have been smashed in the first half of the game.

However, not long after the second half of the game started, Yan Yufeng and Special Olympics on the wing played wonderful cooperation again. The two passed the ball continuously, both of which knocked the head of Maribor's full-back. At this moment, Yan Yufeng suddenly made a pass and passed the football into Maribor's penalty area.

Giroud rushed forward quickly towards the front point, shook his head directly to attack the goal, and the football shot quickly into the upper corner of Maribor's front point.

Four to zero, Giroud scored twice.

The game was actually over by this time. Milanic stopped jumping up and down and just sat quietly on the sidelines. They were completely resigned to their fate.

However, the game is still going on, and there are still forty minutes left in the second half. The Maribor goal may suffer even more!

Sure enough, ten minutes later, the Crystal Palace attack came again. Sabitzer in the midfield suddenly made a diagonal pass and pushed the football directly to the wing. Ashraf caught up with the ball and passed it directly. Giroud in the center once again showed his amazing head. With his ball ability, he directly overpowered the opponent's Rajcevic and hit a bounce ball, past Jammings who was diving sideways, and the football flew into the goal again.

Five to zero, the fans in Maribor couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and left the field early.

Milanic on the sidelines was also very speechless. What should we do with this game?

The Crystal Palace's attack didn't stop, it was still going on crazily. These substitute players really didn't waste any opportunity or time at all, they just attacked fiercely.

In the 78th minute of this game, Crystal Palace got a corner kick. Theo in the corner kick arced the football to the back point. Upamecano from the back point jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal and smashed the football into Maribor's goal.

It's 6-0, and the Maribor people's final hopes may be lost on this ball.

At this time Milanic sighed and said, "I didn't expect the gap between us to be so big!"

In the 88th minute of the game, midfielder Sabitzer sent a precise through ball, directly putting the football at the feet of Haaland, who came on as a substitute. Haaland used his body to squeeze away the opponent's center back Marco Suler, and volleyed the ball before Jasmin, and slammed the football into Maribor's goal.

With a score of 7-0, Crystal Palace slaughtered Maribor in an away game and won three consecutive victories in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season.
