Legendary Godfather

Long shot!

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure suddenly took a long shot from thirty meters away from the goal, and the football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were all worried.

With a bang, Van Dijk directly intercepted the football with his body.

The football bounced out quickly and hit Silva.

Silva saw the ball coming and immediately swung his legs.

With a bang, Kanter, who turned sideways and spoke, was shoveled away.

The football immediately rolled to Paulinho's feet. Paulinho quickly pulled the ball and turned around. With a long diagonal pass, he wanted to pass the football to the side to launch a quick counterattack.

Salah is ready to receive the ball.

But Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and intercepted the football midway.

Sagna quickly pushed the ball forward, and the football immediately rolled to the feet of Navas in front.

Navas was about to pull the ball and turn around. He instantly stretched out a leg from behind and knocked the football away. The football rolled out of the sideline.

Before Sania could even shout urgently, the football was destroyed.

But fortunately, the football rolled directly out of the bottom line, and the ball still belonged to their Manchester City team.

During this period, the possession of the ball changed continuously. It can be seen from here that both teams are a little anxious.

Moreover, the defensive quality of both teams has also improved, and they have become more active.

Obviously, Crystal Palace's pullback stimulated players on both sides.

The morale of the water machine function is naturally high, and they see hope of equalizing. Manchester City was naturally afraid that Crystal Palace would equalize the score. They felt that a one-goal lead was not safe, so they also speeded up.

During this time, both sides became more dedicated and the competition became more intense.

However, both teams' turnover rates have increased during this period.

However, there was no bodyguard for Tong Yi on the sidelines, which was within his expectation. Moreover, Tong Yi also reminded the Crystal Palace players, so there was no change in the mood of the Crystal Palace players.

However, the Manchester City team is a little different.

Pellegrini came to the sidelines and frequently signaled the Manchester City players to calm down and control their rhythm and emotions.

Obviously, the mood and rhythm of the Manchester City team were driven by the Crystal Palace people.

In Pellegrini's view this is very passive.

If it is not resolved, it is very likely that Manchester City will suffer a big loss in the next game.

That's why Pellegrini is so anxious now.

However, Pellegrini also frequently turned to look at Tong Yi, but Tong Yi didn't show any expression, so he frowned slightly. What does it mean? Aren't you in any hurry?

Pellegrini turned his head and looked at the stadium again. The state of both sides was very chaotic!

The pace on the court is really too fast and there are a lot of mistakes.

, if we continue to play like this, there will be many surprises. Can you ensure that these accidents are really beneficial to your Crystal Palace?

He felt that Tong Yi was gambling a bit.

Pellegrini immediately shook his head, not thinking about what Tong Yi was thinking. He immediately turned around and signaled the Manchester City players to slow down the rhythm as much as possible. What is anxious now is not their Manchester City team, but the Crystal Palace people.

Moreover, compared to Crystal Palace, the rhythm that their Manchester City team is familiar with is still slower in possession of the ball.

You are dragging the pace so fast now. Isn't this going in a direction that is beneficial to Crystal Palace?

Our Manchester City team cannot be led by the Crystal Palace people!

Therefore, Pellegrini has been signaling the Manchester City players and goalkeepers to slow down.

Control masters such as Manchester City's midfielders Yaya Toure, Fernandinho and Silva also saw that the current pace is indeed very fast, and it is not good for them. They also wanted to slow down the pace, but they tried, but it was impossible!

The Crystal Palace people are forcing you to speed up the pace!

How did Crystal Palace force them?

Of course it's crazy pressing, aggressive running, and fierce oppression!

Under such fierce pressure from the Crystal Palace people, the Manchester City people had to speed up the frequency of passing the ball, and had to run faster to respond. With such continuous acceleration, wouldn't the rhythm become faster?

Once the Manchester City people want to slow down, there will be problems in passing and receiving. More importantly, they may not be able to pass the ball, and they will continue to pass back or pass horizontally. Because you slow down and there is no opportunity or space to pass the ball forward, so at this time, it is more difficult for the Manchester City people to slow down the rhythm.

If the rhythm is lowered in this way, then the only way is to control the ball in the backcourt.

In this case, the Crystal Palace people will definitely not be polite. They will surge up like a tide and even press into your restricted area.

They are all pressing into your penalty area, what should you do? Is it a pass behind the goal?

And more importantly, Manchester City's other offensive players don't want to slow down.

Because of this fast-paced situation, they have more opportunities.

After all, when the pace is slow, you can ensure your success rate and naturally give the defensive players enough time and space. In addition, Crystal Palace's two central defenders Van Dijk and Laporte are very strong defensively, not to mention Paulinho and Kanter.

Therefore, under such a rhythm, it is still very difficult for them to break through the defense of some people, and they rarely get a chance. Now that the tempo has become faster, the defensive accuracy has obviously reached the previous level. More importantly, both sides will make some mistakes at this time, and these mistakes are opportunities for the offensive players.

That's it now

It depends on who of the two sides can seize the opportunity first.

At this time, Aguero and Dzeko were very confident. They firmly believed that they could seize the opportunity first and score before the Crystal Palace people scored.

Manchester City will definitely win this game.

But at this moment, Kanter in the midfield suddenly cut off the football from Fernandinho's feet.

Fernandinho was a little confused. When did Kanter rush to this position? Why did he steal the ball so quickly?

Yes, Kanter's movement is really too erratic.

No one noticed that Crystal Palace's defensive midfielder actually ran into this position.

Moreover, Fernandinho was also playing according to coach Pellegrini's request at this time. He controlled the football at his feet in order to slow down the pace of the game.

Perhaps that's why Kanter understood the intentions of Fernandinho and others, so he rushed forward boldly. Fernandinho stole the football at his feet.

Therefore, Kanter's ability to read the game is also very strong.

Fernandinho was caught off guard.

Of course, the Manchester City fans at the scene were also very nervous and worried.

The consequences of Fernandinho losing the ball in this position were very serious. They were all so nervous that they screamed.

Fernandinho knew even better than the fans the horrific consequences of losing the ball in this position, so as soon as he lost the ball, he immediately turned around and reached out to pull Kanter. Even if it's a foul, even if it's a card, Kanter must be intercepted.

Otherwise, this ball will be dangerous!

Pellegrini on the sidelines was furious when he saw this, roaring crazily, "Stop him, it's a foul! Isn't it a foul?"

If you can't stop this ball, it will be dangerous!

The Crystal Palace fans were naturally very excited and excited, and even the drum beats of the fans became even faster, as if they were blowing the clarion call for a charge.

Opportunity, the opportunity for Crystal Palace people has come~!

Kanter himself is a very good defensive player. He knows very well what he would do as a defensive player in such a situation? Therefore, he did not hesitate at all, let alone stick to the ball, poked the football away, and pushed the football out as soon as he caught up with it.

The football rolled quickly towards De Bruyne in front of him.

After the football rolled out, Fernandinho's hand grabbed his jersey, and then a strong force came. Kanter's body instantly lost his balance and fell on the court.

Foul, this is a very obvious foul!

Even Fernandinho, who committed the foul, shouted directly to the referee, "Hey, I fouled! I fouled!"

What he means is that you should stop the game. I committed a foul. Give me a yellow card!

Who knew that the referee didn't care about Fernandinho at all? He knew exactly what Fernandinho was thinking. Didn't he just want him to stop the game?

But, it’s impossible!

Because this goal is obviously beneficial to the offense!

The football rolled to De Bruyne's feet very accurately and comfortably, and there was no defensive player in front of De Bruyne. This is a good opportunity to attack. How can this ball be stopped?

Even if it is a yellow card, it will be reissued to you after the attack is over.

It’s not a red card!

If it is a red card, the referee will stop the game immediately, even if this is a very good offensive opportunity. It's a pity that your foul is not to this extent, it is not enough to get a red card!

Obviously, Fernandinho never thought about getting a red card!

If someone gets a red card and is sent off, how should the game be played? Doesn’t that mean we have to kick it?

So, at first, Fernandinho just wanted an ordinary foul to prevent the ball from moving forward. It's a pity that he miscalculated. Kanter is so smart.

Kanter is better than everyone thinks. He is not only a top defender, he even has certain offensive organization ability and sense of smell.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have handled the ball so well.

After all, after stealing the ball, there is a clear path in front of Kanter, and he can also attack with the ball by himself.

Even many excellent organizers will choose to advance with the ball themselves after stealing the ball at this position; this is especially true for forwards, who will even break through and shoot on their own.

But Kanter really passed the football to De Bruyne in front immediately.

Kanter is a great guy!

Bang, all the Manchester City fans screamed in horror.

Because, De Bruyne, who was about thirty meters away from the goal, suddenly took a long shot.

This was beyond everyone's expectations, because there were no defensive players in front of him. The defensive players were now in the penalty area. He could take two steps forward and look for better opportunities.

After all, Manchester City's defense is a bit bad now.

The only defensive players are two center backs and one full back, and there are four people in the penalty area including the goalkeeper.

On the Crystal Palace side, there is Ignacio in the penalty area and Mane rushing up from the wing.

It's better to lead and look for opportunities than to shoot directly from a long distance!

Unexpectedly, De Bruyne unexpectedly took a long shot, and the ball flew towards the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball.

The ball was so fast that Joe Hart, who flew out in front of the goal, had no chance at all.

The football was so powerful that it rushed into Manchester City's goal.

Two to two!
