Football: From Bundesliga debut

About why Xiao Shisan didn't give himself an opinion on the last penalty kick.

The explanation given by Xiao Shisan made Zheng Lin really want to follow the brainwaves and bite him to death!

[Predicting the future for the host has already consumed a lot of computing power, so there is no way;
Besides, if you don't even score a penalty kick, doesn't that mean you have become weak?You can't grasp something as simple as a penalty kick, so you still have the face to blame me? 】

These words are speechless, and penalties are indeed relatively easy.

But which kind of mental game is the most exhausting, so it is normal to shoot a penalty kick. Now that failure has become a fact, then we need to continue to work hard.

Life is always looking forward. When something that has already happened appears, you must face it bravely.

Go improve yourself so that this type of thing doesn't happen again!
……

Manchester City, who have returned to the league, will face West Brom on the road.

This is a Premier League underdog and football is never short of upsets, so they will give it their all.

Back at home, Manchester City won West Brom with a score of 3-0, adding a valuable three points to their points.

After 30 rounds, they still failed to catch up with Chelsea.

If they lose two more rounds of the league, it means that they will bid farewell to the final championship.

In order not to let this result happen, they must be stable.

But the final result allowed them to watch Chelsea win the Premier League trophy in the 14-15 season ahead of schedule.

On April 4, Manchester City played away against Crystal Palace in the 31st round of the Premier League.

Crystal Palace's starting XI:

[Forward: Glenn Murray
Frontcourt: Bolassier, McArthur, Ponjon, Zaha

Back midfielder: Ledley
Defense: Martin Kelly, Delany, Dane, Ward

Goalkeeper: Spelloni]

And Manchester City adopts a 442 formation with two forwards:
[Forwards: Dzeko, Aguero
Midfielders: David Silva, Fernandinho, Zheng Lin, Berardi

Defense: Clichy, Demichelis, Kompany, Sagna
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart]

The two sides have different attitudes towards this game. With 7 rounds left (including this round of the league), Manchester City has fallen behind by 7 points. If they want to win this season's championship, they must You have to face more points, and at the same time hope that Chelsea will make mistakes.

But this possibility is too low. Also in terms of concentrating on the league, Manchester City's lagging points are already too dangerous. They can only passively wait for Chelsea to make mistakes.

But Mourinho is not that kind of person!
Game start.

Crystal Bow, who played at home, took the lead in launching the offensive.

Their advancement combined with quick running opened up the line of defense for their attackers. This is typical of a lack of concentration in the opening game against Manchester City.

But they obviously underestimated Manchester City.

Although they fought until the last minute in the Champions League, their state has adjusted after a game, and Manchester City will not give up easily before they have completely lost the chance to win the championship.

As the game time goes by.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Crystal Palace seized the opportunity. Zaha on the right wing made a diagonal pass to Bolasie on the left.

Bolasier stopped the football very beautifully. He didn't wait for Sagna to come forward and steal it. After he smashed the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball forward.

Manchester City's double central defenders retreat very quickly, which is one of the reasons why they keep conceding fewer goals.

But this time they had problems with collaboration.

Because they are playing 442, naturally speaking, the position of the defensive midfielder in front of them has become a little bit more forward. This space also needs to be complemented by a tacit understanding between the midfield and the backcourt.

At this time, the players on the field did not realize it.

As Bolassier advanced near the front of the penalty area, at this time, Zheng Lin, who came back to defend, stepped forward to press, but gave way to the opponent behind him.

Bolasier's fake shot made Zheng Lin instinctively want to block the shot.

But when he acted, he found an inverted triangle return pass from the Bora system, and Pang Qiong, who followed up, shot directly with his foot.

At this time, Zheng Lin had no choice but to use his head to clear the siege, but he missed it by a hair. The football brushed his hair and went straight to the goal.

"GOALLL!!!!!!"

"The goal was scored. In the 34th minute of the game, Crystal Palace took the lead. This will put Manchester City in a passive position, and it will also send Chelsea to the championship one step ahead!"

"The gap of 7 points, the premise is that Chelsea will make mistakes while Manchester City wins all, but this is almost impossible. Chelsea, who specialize in the league, will not easily give up their upcoming league title!"

The home fans at Selhurst Park cheered in unison. For them, winning the championship may be a luxury, but if they can beat a strong team, it is comparable to winning the championship for them.

Less than 10 minutes after the restart, Crystal Palace seized a ball error from Dzeko and launched their own counterattack.

Zaha on the right is still advancing quickly, and David Silva can only follow him to eat ashes.

Zheng Lin, who assisted in defending the past, wanted to use physical confrontation to gain an advantage, but he did not expect that he would be played by the central midfielder combination of Crystal Palace with a beautiful wall collision.

For this kind of cooperation, he can only be tired of coping. While running back and forth, he failed to get close to the player in possession of the ball, which also gave Zaha a chance to kick.

And the left-back Krishna didn't step forward to make up the defense, which Zheng Lin didn't expect.

Regarding his behavior, Chrissy believed that Zheng Lin could handle it completely, and he did not expect such an embarrassing situation.

It was also in this space that Zaha made a direct cross.

Manchester City's penalty area happens to have their center forward-Glenn Murray.

The next scene is also a very uncomfortable scene in Kompany's memory.

Glenn Murray finally overwhelmed Kompany and directly hit the goal with his head. The choice of this header is still in the dead corner on the upper right. If there is a slight deviation, it may hit the crossbar.

"GOALLL!!!!!!"

"Crystal Palace scored again late in the first half, this time with Zaha setting up center forward Glenn Murray for a header."

"The timing of Glenn Murray's choice is too good. He successfully suppressed Manchester City's captain Kompany. If this timing is a little earlier or later, he is unlikely to get this precious header. .”

This is an unexpected result. When Manchester City faced the mid-range team Crystal Palace away, they actually conceded two goals in a row in the first half.

Judging from their performance, this is not negligence to describe them, but BAD to express their disappointment with them!
The first goal was a problem with the connection between the midfield and the backcourt, which is a little bit understandable, but the second goal was really a problem with their overall defensive coordination.

But for their situation, it is not incomprehensible. Clichy thinks that Zheng Lin can handle it alone, and Zheng Lin is also out of reassurance for his teammate Clichy, so both of them have problems.

I don't know what to say!

It is good to have ideas about the abilities of your teammates, but sometimes you still need to communicate appropriately.

"drop!"

Shortly after play resumed, the referee blew his post-half whistle.
