Legendary Godfather

672: The victory over Fox City is certain.

Three to two at halftime, Crystal Palace leads Leicester City!

The Manchester City team is naturally dissatisfied with this result. They believe that Leicester City has a chance to win this game and should be in the lead at this time!

However, Guardiola knows very well that it is still difficult for Leicester City to win this game.

There was no advantage in the first half of the game, and it was even more difficult in the second half.

Because as time goes by, the turns of these two guys, Mogan and Maguire, will become slower and slower, and the pursuit will be even worse.

When Crystal Palace's forwards surge in the second half of the game, they may collapse.

Therefore, Guardiola is a little worried.

However, he has more expectations for Vardy.

Vardy is the biggest variable in Leicester City's game. If he is in particularly good condition in the second half of the game, or even has some extraordinary performance, they may not be able to win this game. ??

Guardiola is still looking forward to this game.

Now we have to see how Vardy performs in the second half of the game?

And Pierre thought the same way.

Whether Leicester City can win this game really depends on how well Vardy performs.

During the halftime break, Pierre gave Vardy many instructions. He even bluntly stated that he put the outcome of this game on Vardy, and he was not afraid of Vardy being under too much pressure at all. Because he knows Vardy's ability to withstand pressure very well, these are not a problem at all!

Vardy has been under much more pressure than ordinary players since he came from the amateur league, so there is really no problem with his ability to withstand pressure.

Moreover, Vardy is still very competitive and has extremely high requirements for himself.

The more times this happens, the more he can take responsibility.

That's why Pierre was so unscrupulous.

Vardy nodded calmly and said, "Boss, don't worry, I understand!"

Pierre patted Vardy on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to come out for the second half of the game.

The Crystal Palace side is much more relaxed.

Firstly, they are now in the lead and have an advantage; secondly, they are very confident in themselves; thirdly, after watching Leicester City's performance in the first half of the game, they all feel that they are stable.

However, at this time, they were not floating.

This is confidence!

They attach great importance to this game, and they all know that they must win this game.

Otherwise, this will give the Manchester City people a chance.

Now Manchester City is looking forward to their Crystal Palace losing, and preferably losing consecutively. How could Crystal Palace let the Manchester City people succeed? Therefore, the Crystal Palace players will naturally be actively involved.

Their confidence comes from Leicester City's two centre-backs.

Although

It is said that these two guys have really outstanding frontal defensive abilities, and they are also very capable of preventing high-altitude balls. But his weakness is too obvious, and the two of them still have the same weakness. Wouldn't it be much easier to defeat them?

To be honest, the Crystal Palace players couldn't understand why Pierre would let these two team up as central defenders?

How much do you look down on our Crystal Palace?

Perhaps the combination of these two is enough when facing the mid- and lower-tier teams in the Premier League, but when facing the top teams in the Premier League like Crystal Palace, there are really big loopholes.

In the second half of the game, as soon as Crystal Palace picked up the pace in the frontcourt, wouldn't Leicester City be doomed?

After all, they have figured out Ndidi's abilities and habits.

Therefore, the chance of winning this game is really high.

The premise is that no unexpected situation occurs!

Therefore, at this time, during the halftime break, we still remind the Crystal Palace players to be more cautious. Especially in this kind of game that is very likely to be won 100%, don't lose the victory due to some extremely unexpected circumstances. Everything is stable.

The Crystal Palace players nodded one after another to show their understanding!

Tong Yi also believed in his players and immediately waved to signal the Crystal Palace players to come out and play.

Soon, the second half of the game between the two sides began.

There were a few accidents at the beginning of the second half. Atkinson, the referee of this game, was indeed the Magic Four. He didn't even call a foul when the forward Mahrez knocked Cancelo over with his hands and feet. , which allowed Mahrez to drive directly into the penalty area and face Crystal Palace goalkeeper Maignan.

Tong Yi became angry instantly on the sidelines and roared towards the stadium!

Fortunately, Maignan reacted quickly, blocked the near corner, and saved Mahrez's shot from the bottom line.

Otherwise, Crystal Palace would have conceded the ball and tied the score just at the beginning of the second half.

Tong Yi was very dissatisfied and frantically dissed the referee Atkinson on the sidelines. Atkinson didn't show any mercy. He rushed over and gave Tong Yi a yellow card.

This made Crystal Palace fans very angry, and they criticized Atkinson and called him a black whistle.

To be honest, this goal is actually quite obvious, but it is really outrageous for Atkinson to not call a foul.

Is this guy really blind?

Or is it that this guy has seen Crystal Palace win too much and doesn't want Crystal Palace to continue to win?

Or is it that the Premier League cannot have a team that wins the championship?

Anyway, Tong Yi is thinking too much at this time. Could it be that the Football Association is deliberately targeting him?

Tong Yi shook his head slightly and stared at the stadium seriously.

Soon, Tong Yi found out

That's not the case now.

Atkinson's penalty after that was also very normal. It seems that this guy was really blind and didn't see the penalty just now.

Seeing this, Tong Yi breathed a sigh of relief!

Just don’t target our Crystal Palace intentionally.

The game continued, and Leicester City obviously stepped up their attack. At the beginning of the second half, the Crystal Palace goal was still threatened. This made the Leicester City fans at the scene and the Manchester City fans in front of the TV very happy, as they all saw the chance to win.

These fans are all cheering for Leicester City like crazy.

At this time, Vardy also received a long diagonal pass from Albrighton, and then he shot directly from the line of the penalty area. The football roared out, hit the near post of the goal hard, and then quickly bounced off the baseline.

All the fans in the audience exclaimed! ??

This Vardy is really good. He chooses the shooting timing really well, and his shooting skills are also very good. This goal lacked a little luck, which is a pity.

Rudiger frowned slightly, his defense was in place after just a few misses.

This Vardy is indeed at some level. However, he couldn't understand why Vardy had to stay in Leicester City? Wouldn't it be good to play for another team that can play in the Champions League?

Anyway, Rudiger feels that Vardy's continued stay in Leicester City is really a waste.

The Leicester City fans at the scene were very excited. They felt that the team was getting closer and closer to victory.

But at this moment, Leicester City's midfielder was intercepted again.

Kanter, still Kanter!

Kanter's range of activities is really too large. Who can withstand such a large-scale sweep? It was a little difficult for Ibora to get the ball. Wouldn't it be intercepted by Kanter directly?

After stealing the ball, Kanter quickly sent the football forward, and the football rolled directly towards De Bruyne.

This time, De Bruyne unexpectedly did not pass back, but instead pulled the ball and turned around, directly past the charging Mogan. This time, Mogan was raised very high. It could also be said that he pounced too far out. At this time, it was too late to go back, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and pounce.

What Mogan thinks here is that even if the defense fails, he can just foul.

Unexpectedly, De Bruyne pulled the ball and turned around very fast, giving Mogan no chance to react. When Mogan reacted and reached out to pull De Bruyne, De Bruyne turned around and pushed the football straight out!

With a bang, De Bruyne was pulled to the ground.

Mogan immediately raised his hand to indicate that he had committed a foul. At this time, the game should be stopped directly.

However, the referee Atkinson did not blow the whistle at all, but directly made an offensive gesture.

As soon as he saw this gesture, Morgan knew it was over.

How can it be advantageous to attack at this time? You should blow the whistle for a foul. My shot is a yellow card. You can stop the attack.

Unfortunately, Atkinson did not stop the game, but signaled for the game to continue.

The Leicester City fans at the scene were instantly desperate, and their faces darkened.

Because Crystal Palace directly got a chance to stand alone.

De Bruyne's through ball accurately sent the football to the feet of the advancing Mbappe. Mbappe stepped in diagonally and directly caught up with the football, facing Leicester City goalkeeper Schmeichel.

Full-back Chilwell has been blown away by Mbappe, and Ndidi, the free defender in the middle, is still some time away from Mbappe, so no one can interfere with Mbappe at this time!

Mbappe went directly to the meeting alone and faced the goalkeeper.

When Guardiola saw this in front of the TV, he instantly became desperate.

How to kick this ball? Do you still hope that Schmeichel will make a magical save? Or do you think Mbappe will not score a goal alone?

Anyway, Guardiola thinks Leicester City is finished!

If this goal were to be scored, Leicester City would really have no chance at all.

Now almost all Leicester City and Manchester City fans have pinned their hopes on Schmeichel. Schmeichel did not attack at this time, choosing to squat in front of the goal, blocking the near corner, ready to side at any time. Pounce towards the far corner.

There was even full back Simpson on the far end quickly returning to cover. There was a chance for this ball.

With a bang, Mbappe suddenly swung his leg and shot!

The football roared out and hit the near upper corner of the goal!

The speed of the ball is very fast, like a shooting star.

Schmeichel in front of the goal reacted quickly and immediately raised his hands, but unfortunately he still didn't touch the football. Because the speed of the ball was really too fast, he couldn't see the trajectory of the football clearly.

The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced quickly into the Leicester City goal.

The ball went in, and Crystal Palace scored in the 17th minute of the second half to expand the score. It was Mbappe who scored.

The Crystal Palace fans who came from afar jumped up with excitement, and their whole faces turned red as their blood surged. They cheered excitedly and sang the team's anthem to welcome the victory of this game. Yes, in their opinion, Crystal Palace will definitely win this game.

Tong Yi on the sidelines also jumped up, waved his fist excitedly, and gave a thumbs up to the players on the court. After seeing this goal, Tong Yi felt that he was stable and there should be no problem winning this game. Even Guardiola in front of the TV shook his head in despair. He also felt that Leicester City had no chance in this game.

However, what no one expected was that the accident really happened!
