After returning to the locker room, the atmosphere in the team was a little strange.

For them, they conceded two goals in a row in the first half, which is a blow to them, because they don't want to give up the last championship this season.

If they lose, then for them, it is almost equivalent to losing their chance to win the championship.

With a gap of 10 points, especially with 6 rounds remaining, it was almost the last chance lost.

"Take it! Get up, we still lost the game. There are 45 minutes left. If we don't work hard, how can we just admit defeat like this?"

Pellegrini also knows that he is still careless about his tactical arrangements, but he cannot say that they did not do well on the court.

I have always played according to the 4231 formation. Now I have changed it to 442. There will indeed be some minor problems, but I have to say that this time Crystal Palace has grasped this point very well. Then I will change it back in the second half. There is still time and there is still time. In time!
"In the second half, Edin came down first, Musa was ready to play, we played 4231 directly, I believe you can win this game!"

When Dzeko heard that he was off at the beginning of the second half, his expression was not very good. When Aguero's performance gradually improved, his position had become a bit awkward, and there was only one point left-the role of the tactical fulcrum Yes, this made him want to leave here.

Moussa Sissoko, who was named, nodded in response. For him, professional players must obey the coach's arrangement.

After personnel adjustments, Zheng Lin was referred to the position of left midfielder, and David Silva moved to the front midfielder.

This is the previous formation against Barcelona, ​​and Pellegrini has pinned his hopes on it.

After all, the final key to winning on the court is the players.

The second half of the game begins.

Manchester City quickly implemented the personnel replacement. As their formation changed, the Crystal Palace players on the field did not dare to press so much.

Because Manchester City in this formation can play their best cooperation.

For Manchester City's evolution, Crystal Palace began to defend in a targeted manner. They also know who the most threatening person in Manchester City is?

Moussa Sissoko in the midfielder, David Silva in the midfielder, Zheng Lin in the left midfielder and Aguero in the center position.

As for the right midfielder Berardi, his offense is threatening to a certain extent, and they are all offensive. Crystal Palace is not afraid!
At this time, the ball is still at the feet of Crystal Palace, and it is still at the feet of the old Manchester United player Zaha. This time he did not dare to be too rash, because Zheng Lin's defense is better than David Silva!

His advantage is speed, but this speed is not an absolute advantage for Zheng Lin, so at this moment Zaha is not so confident in his dribbling, so he chose to cooperate with his teammates.

Pang Qiong, who is in the midfield position, also stepped forward decisively, because if they want to win Manchester City, they must press out to attack, and it is not feasible to squat behind and defend.

After all, Manchester City has enough strength to score, and the best way is to expand the score.

When Zaha cooperated with his teammate Pang Qiong for the second time, Zheng Lin saw through it, and was directly intercepted by Zheng Lin's long legs.

Instead, Manchester City began to fight back.

In the process of advancing, Berardi's, Aguero and others have all moved forward quickly.

Facing Zaha and Pang Qiong who were returning to the defense, Zheng Lin made a clever stop and the two almost collided. At this time, Zheng Lin swung his right foot out, and the football went to Berardi on the right. and go.

Berardi unloaded the ball before Martin Kelly, a winger who was known for his speed.

I saw Berardi smashing the ball, swaying away Martin Kelly who was defending him, and he directly made an arc pass.

In this pass, it cannot be said that there is a problem with the choice of others. This is a test for Aguero. After all, his height is not dominant here!
However, Aguero's sense of smell in front of the goal is quite sensitive. For this pass, Aguero also noticed Zheng Lin who had approached. He and Zheng Lin looked at each other and understood what he meant.

For this pass, Aguero took off without any reservations. The gap in physical talent made him watch Delany clear the ball.

But the clearance was indeed not very far away. It happened to be snatched by Zheng Linka in front of Ledley. Zheng Lin leaned on Ledley, he knocked horizontally, and David Silva, who followed up, shot directly.

"GOALLL!!!!!!"

"David Silva pulled a goal back for Manchester City. This goal only eased their disadvantage in the first half. They were one goal away!"

"Yes, if they lose, then for them, there is only a theoretical possibility to compete for the league championship this season!"

The game restarts.

After scoring a goal, Manchester City launched a more violent oppression. They don't want to lose, especially after Chelsea has won this round of the league, there is only one way for them to go.

You can also give up directly, but that is not what Manchester City wants!
With Manchester City pressing too far forward, the Crystal Palace players realized that this was their chance to kill the game.

If you score another goal, then for Crystal Palace, the victory is in hand!

But that's only if.

Although they pressed too far forward, Manchester City did not take their guard lightly. Kompany and Demichelis remained at the same rear. The two of them were very clear that they were the last barrier in front of Joe Hart. Hold on.

After passing the ball for nearly 25 minutes, Manchester City has yet to find a chance.

As time goes by, for Crystal Palace, victory is getting closer!
In the 84th minute of the game, Manchester City still grasped the situation on the field. For them, this was almost the last attack.

If they can't score, it means that they lose their final initiative and can only claim second place in the league!

After passing the ball a few times, the football rolled to Zheng Lin's feet again. For Zheng Lin, what he has to do is to try his best to send the football to where he should go.

After a series of fancy moves, Zheng Lin has advanced to the vicinity of the penalty area, and now there is only one last step left - breaking the goal!
At this time, Zheng Lin passed Ward with a deep-fried ball. He just stepped into the penalty area with one foot and was pushed to the ground by Ward from behind.

"drop!"

"Is this Ward's approach adding to the obstruction of the Crystal Palace?"

"The foul here is probably a penalty, because the place where Zheng Lin fell is already inside the penalty area!"

"Judging from the defense just now, if Ward fouled one step earlier, then this penalty can be avoided. Such a set kick in the front field is acceptable for Crystal Palace, and now it has become a penalty. Then it's a nightmare for Crystal Palace!"

"Aguero is responsible for taking the penalty. In the very important game ahead, Zheng Lin snatched a penalty kick from Aguero. He didn't miss the penalty. Now it's time for the host!"

Yes, Aguero is now standing in front of the penalty spot. This time Zheng Lin did not step forward, because he has simulated countless times with Xiao Shisan, and he failed to win the final league championship every time. It was very disappointing for him.

And when he learned that Xia Chuang was going to introduce the Bundesliga's assist leader, he became a little bit confused about his future in Manchester City.

He has an idea in his heart-he wants to escape from Manchester City, but his inherent pride tells himself that if he leaves Manchester City, isn't this telling others that he is afraid of De Bruyne?

In order to maintain his pride, Zheng Lin plans to compete with others for the starting position in the next season!

Watching Aguero run up, Zheng Lin also took a deep breath.

"Hit the door!"

"hiss!"

"The football was saved by Spelloni! But he didn't hold it. Zheng Lin grabbed the ball and wanted to make a follow-up shot, but Dan directly blocked it from the baseline!"

"My God! Normally, Aguero's kick is bound to be scored. He actually missed the chance to become a hero of Manchester City. This almost indicates that Manchester City is out with one kick!"

With a score of 2-1, there are less than 3 minutes left, which is a lot of pressure for Manchester City!
And this is still an away game, although there is a chance of a corner kick, it is just a chance!

The corner kick was taken by David Silva.

He takes the corner, which is a late corner.

At this time, Manchester City, who were all on top, they also went all out in order to get the most important 1 point!
"Zheng Linding has arrived!"

"Hey, it's a pity that it was directly confiscated by Spelloni!"

As Zheng Lin's header was secured by Spelloni, this means that Manchester City lost 1-2 away to Crystal Palace.

With the referee's whistle sounded.

Cheers sounded from the Selhurst Park Stadium, and the whole stadium was immersed in a sea of ​​joy. Even the Crystal Bow players on the field hugged each other. For them, they can stay in the top league in England once. , This is their victory!

The opposite is the frustrated expression of Manchester City players.

Zheng Lin, who missed a penalty kick in the Champions League, has also grown a lot. He has nothing to say about the loss to Crystal Palace. There is not much explanation for the loss. If there is one - it is their performance in this game Otherwise Crystal Palace!

And Aguero, who missed a penalty kick, had lost his eyes and looked dazed. He hadn't been able to get out of that dazed state until the end of the game.

So did the other players.

Kompany, who had been slowed down for a while, was the first to come back to his senses. As the captain, he had to appease his teammates. This is the responsibility of a captain, and it is also a preparation for the next city derby!

They want to get the strength of this game back from Manchester United.
