Legendary Godfather

To be honest, Ignacio is very grateful to Tong Yi.

Crystal Palace has paid a lot for him. Ignacio himself hopes that he can get well as soon as possible and then return to the court to help the Crystal Palace team.

After dealing with Ignacio's matter, Tong Yi was in a much better mood.

The entire Crystal Palace team is in very good shape right now. They are full of confidence in defeating any opponent. They firmly believe that they can continue to win.

In the next round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace's opponent is West Ham United, and their opponent is not very strong. Although this game is an away game, the players of Crystal Palace are full of confidence in this game. They firmly believe that they can win this game.

However, the only thing Tong Yi has to consider is that Crystal Palace will usher in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League next week. Crystal Palace will face Real Madrid at its home court.

This game is very crucial for Crystal Palace.

It is necessary to establish an advantage against Real Madrid at home and even allow the opponent to get as little goal difference as possible.

Therefore, in next week's midweek match against Real Madrid, Crystal Palace will have all their main players.

Crystal Palace will rotate in the league against West Ham United this weekend, and even the rotation is in pursuit of victory. After all, the Premier League championship is not yet stable, and Crystal Palace cannot lose continuously. If they lose a game, the pressure on Crystal Palace will increase sharply. The more they lose, the greater the pressure will be, and they may even lose the league championship in the end.

This period of time is very important for Crystal Palace, and it is also a great test for Tong Yi.

However, Tong Yi is quite experienced and he is still confident in solving this problem.

It's not that Tong Yi doesn't pay attention to West Ham United. West Ham United's performance this season is still very strong. They are currently ranked near the European Theater of the Premier League. They have a chance to qualify for the European War next season.

West Ham United is really not weak this season!

However, Tong Yi still has to be rotated, because there is no way.

The next game must be against Real Madrid, and Crystal Palace must adjust to its best condition.

For this game against West Ham United, Tong Yi’s starting lineup is as follows

Alisson

The back four from left to right is Alonso, Laporte, Van Dijk and Cancelo

Double defensive midfielder Witsel and Kimmich

Single attacking midfielder Milinkovic-Savic

Front three from left to right Perisic, Jimenez and Asensio

This lineup is completely a substitute lineup, except for Van Dijk and Alisson. But when seeing the starting lineup of Crystal Palace, West Ham United's head coach Bilic did not dare to underestimate his opponent.

In the first meeting between the two teams, West Ham United was reversed 4-2 by their opponents with a two-goal lead. At that time, there were some substitute players in the Crystal Palace lineup, and their performance was outstanding. Moreover, Bilic has also studied Crystal Palace players in detail.

In terms of their performance and lineup, these Crystal Palace players are not weak in strength.

This is also the reason why Crystal Palace has achieved good results in all competitions.

That is that the Crystal Palace bench is too deep.

Therefore, even after seeing this substitute lineup, Bilic did not dare to underestimate his opponent.

The Godfather of Rock is so real!

Of course, Belgium is still unconvinced that West Ham United was reversed by Crystal Palace in the first round of the match between the two sides. He believes that West Ham United have the chance and ability to defeat Crystal Palace, especially now that Crystal Palace is playing with all substitutes, their chances are even greater.

However, before the game, Bilic frantically reminded the West Ham United players.

Bilic frequently reminds West Ham players to pay attention to the opponent's counterattack. Especially the Crystal Palace people's first interception between offense and defense, because the Crystal Palace people's offense and defense transition is too fast. If it cannot be intercepted at the first time, it will be very dangerous.

West Ham United players sent letters to express their understanding.

The players of West Ham United are very cautious and at the same time very eager to win!

Naturally, West Ham United also want to win. They want to participate in the European War next season. Now they are charging towards the European War. If they win the Crystal Palace, they will be closer and more stable to the European War.

For this game, the players of West Ham United are holding back their energy.

They not only want to complete revenge, but more importantly, they want to participate in the European War.

Therefore, West Ham, who are playing at home, are full of momentum and are not afraid of the Crystal Palace people at all.

Even when the game just started, West Ham United attacked from all fronts and took the absolute initiative in the first fifteen minutes. They also created two good opportunities in these fifteen minutes. One was a direct free kick from the French midfielder that almost broke the Crystal Palace goal. The football hit the outside of the goal post and bounced out of the goal.

At that time, West Ham United fans were so excited!

It's a pity that I lacked a bit of luck!

Another opportunity was when West Ham forward Diafa Sakho received the ball from Lanzini in the penalty area, then half-turned and swept the ball towards the Crystal Palace goal.

The ball was very close and very fast. The fans in West Ham thought that this ball would definitely be scored.

Unexpectedly, the football was directly hugged by Alisson.

West Ham United are extremely sorry.

The effect of attacking for fifteen minutes was still very good, but after fifteen minutes, West Ham United chose to retreat and did not attack as fast. They actively slowed down the rhythm and even had to defend and counterattack. posture.

Seeing this, the fans of West Ham United were all

It was a sigh, secretly thinking it was a pity.

Most of the loyal West Ham United fans are still very professional and they all understand the ball.

After 20 minutes of such a high-pressure attack, the physical fitness of the West Ham United players reached a point, and more importantly, the Crystal Palace people gradually fell into their West Ham United's offensive rhythm and routine. If adjustments and changes are not made at this time, the West Ham United players will have a hard time playing and their physical energy will be depleted very quickly. By the second half of the game, there will definitely be problems with the physical fitness of the West Ham United players. At that time, the victory or defeat of this game will basically be in the hands of the Crystal Palace players.

Obviously, neither Bilic nor the players of West Ham United wanted to see this happen, so they took the initiative to seek changes and lowered their pace. They want to slow down for a while, accumulate energy, and then attack fiercely.

At the same time, this constantly changing rhythm also makes the Crystal Palace players jump up and down, making them a little uncontrollable, which makes the Crystal Palace players' kicks even more awkward.

Therefore, at this time, West Ham United changed their tactics.

Bilic and the West Ham United players have a good idea, but it is obvious that Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace players do not want to give the West Ham United players a chance. They didn't want the West Ham players to slow down and rest and adjust. When the Crystal Palace people saw the West Ham players changing their rhythm, they immediately sped up the pace, passively driving West Ham United up and speeding up the game.

If they don't speed up, they won't be able to defend Crystal Palace.

Therefore, the West Ham United players had to speed up and improve the rhythm of the game.

Seeing this, Bilic was darkened and shook his head slightly.

He knew that Tong Yi and Crystal Palace would not let them control the rhythm of the game so easily. Otherwise, all the initiative in this game is in the hands of West Ham United. Why would Crystal Palace play?

Bilic had expected this.

Bilic immediately stretched out his hand to signal, asking the West Ham United players to huddle into their turtle shells and set up a bus near the penalty area.

In this way, they don't have to follow the rhythm of the Crystal Palace people. They just squat and guard near the penalty area, and simply don't follow you Crystal Palace people running back and forth. Doesn't the rhythm slow down?

Moreover, there are people inside and outside the penalty area, and there are almost no gaps. How do you maintain the rhythm?

It's even difficult for you to create threatening offensive opportunities.

The turtle shell breaking bus tactic is a worldwide problem.

Therefore, Bilic is not anxious or worried at this time. This game is still under his control, and as long as they don't take the initiative to press out and improve the rhythm, Crystal Palace will have no chance in this game.

Bilic is confident.

However, the next moment Crystal Palace midfielder Milinkovic slapped Bilic hard in the face.

Bilic was stunned with a slap in the face.

Because in the 38th minute of the first half, Milinkovic-Savic was in the penalty area

District Qianqian received Kimmich's pass on the street, and then directly shot with a kick. The football flew through the gap like a ray of light and directly into the upper right corner of the West Ham United goal.

Adrian, who was in front of the goal, saw the path of the football and jumped out immediately. Unfortunately, he still didn't touch the football. The football flew past his fingertips and slammed into the goal behind him.

One to zero!

After the first half, Crystal Palace broke the deadlock.

To be honest, Tong Yi was relieved when he saw this ball. It is most timely to break the deadlock at this time. If the score is dragged into the second half of the game and the deadlock is not broken, the second half of the game will be uncontrollable and too dangerous.

West Ham United fans were dumbfounded, what the hell is this? Why did you score a goal?

Bilic covered his face with his hands and couldn't stand it anymore.

Don’t you want our West Ham United name?

During the halftime break, Bilic was furious in the locker room and was dissatisfied with the team's defense, especially at the end of the first half. How could Milinkovic be allowed to take a long shot from that dangerous position so easily? This is simply asking for death!

Bilic severely criticized the West Ham players, and then cheered them on, hoping that they could fight for a victory in the second half of the game.

The players of West Ham United are still very confident about this game. This is their home court after all, and they also feel that Crystal Palace is not as strong as they thought. They will definitely win this game.

However, at the beginning of the second half, West Ham United's confidence was completely shattered.

In the 4th minute of the second half, Crystal Palace's Milinkovic's long shot was blocked by West Ham United center back Ogbonna, and Crystal Palace got a corner kick.

Cancelo in the corner kicked a cross with a very weird arc.

The football flew into the penalty area and Reid hit the football over Jimenez's head. But the football did not fly outside the penalty area, nor did it fly toward the bottom line of the goal. Instead, it flew directly to the back point of the penalty area.

Kimmich, who rushed forward from the back of the penalty area, fell to the ground before Ogbonna and shot, shoveling the football towards the back of West Ham United's penalty area.

Adrian in front of the goal rushed over in panic, but unfortunately it was too late.

The football rolled quickly into the goal from the back post.

Two to zero, Crystal Palace expanded the score at the beginning of the second half, directly killing the confidence of West Ham United in the cradle. West Ham United fans are completely desperate. Is this game still possible?

The West Ham United players did not give up. They attacked like crazy, but they still failed to break through the Crystal Palace goal.

2-0, Crystal Palace defeated West Ham United away from home and got three points.

And they ushered in the game against Real Madrid with the power of victory. The Crystal Palace players were full of confidence in this game.
