231: Is it going to be completely over before halftime?

One to zero!

Crystal Palace took the lead, and just three minutes into the game, Chelsea's faces were ashen.

Could there be a worse start than this?

Chelsea fans were very unhappy, even very angry.

They frantically accused Scott, the referee of this game.

Your penalty is simply outrageous. Do you think you came with a mission today?

Conte on the sidelines was also very dissatisfied. How could a red card and a penalty kick be awarded at the beginning of the game? Is your Crystal Palace Barcelona?

Crystal Palace fans were very happy.

They don't think there's anything wrong with this ball! You damn Chelsea people just tell me if Azpilicueta committed a foul? Is it a foul for charging someone in the penalty area without rushing the ball? Is the person pulling behind this a dangerous move? No red card for such an action? What action gives a red card?

Is it really necessary to give a red card to a useless person?

There is nothing wrong with this ball being given a red card.

Who told you Chelsea to play football so dirty?

Tong Yi kept applauding, it was a good goal, Crystal Palace should be able to relax in this game.

After all, starting from the third minute, Chelsea will have one less player.

Originally, Tong Yi thought Chelsea would choose to make substitutions, but no, they just changed formations passively. From 3421 to 3411, Alonso, the wing-back in the midfield, returned directly to the defense to replace Azpilicueta who was sent off. Hazard, who was originally behind Costa, returned directly to the midfield. The position of wing-back Alonso.

Therefore, this lineup looks relatively good.

The only drawback is that Hazard is further away from the Crystal Palace goal.

And Hazard's defensive ability is really poor.

Letting Hazard play as a wing-back is not a good decision.

Tong Yi naturally saw this and immediately waved his hand to focus on Hazard's defense. In an instant, Hazard's side was hit by rotation, which also put Chelsea's defense in danger.

Conti's eyes tightened when he saw this, and he felt a little worried.

Hazard is really good at attacking. If you ask him to play the wing-back position, it is simply impossible.

Now Hazard has become a loophole for Chelsea.

Just now, after the continuous cooperation between Mbappe and Carvajal, Carvajal suddenly cut into the penalty area and completely destroyed Hazard. After attracting the attention of the defense, Carvajal passed the ball back in an inverted triangle. Ibrahimovic missed it, and De Bruyne, who followed up, directly met the ball and blasted the goal.

The football roared out and hit the goal post firmly, making a buzzing sound.

Almost!

Crystal Palace almost scored a goal, it seems

The Chelsea fans turned pale.

It's dangerous, it's really too dangerous.

Conte naturally saw it, and he immediately stretched out his hand to signal the Chelsea players on the court to change positions immediately. He asked Fabregas in the attacking midfielder position to immediately switch positions with Hazard, asking Hazard to play as the second forward and Fabregas to play as a wing-back.

After making such adjustments, Chelsea's defense did not improve much.

Because Crystal Palace is still attacking this way crazily, Fabregas is also a little unable to resist. Because Mbappe and Carvajal of Crystal Palace are both very fast, but Fabregas is not fast enough and can't get up or get down. Twice in a row, he was beaten by Mbappe and Carvajal with their speed.

Just now, Mbappe beat Cesc Fabregas on the wing with great speed, and then quickly cut inside into the penalty area. With a feint, he passed defender Cahill and shot directly with his legs.

If it weren't for Courtois' brave performance in holding the football under his body, this ball would have been dangerous.

Chelsea fans are very worried.

So far in this competition, they seem to have no hope at all!

Substitute, you must substitute at this time!

Conte directly replaced Gay in the midfield with William, asking Fabregas to fill Gay's position, and William to play wing-back on the wing.

To be honest, Tong Yi frowned slightly when he saw this.

Why doesn't Conte change his formation at this time? Do we have to play with wing-backs? If you continue to play like this, do you Chelsea really have a chance?

He shook his head slightly, feeling that they should have a good chance in this game.

But at the next moment, Chelsea played a good offense. It was William who had just come on the field who initiated it. After receiving a pass from Cesc Fabregas in the middle, he suddenly made a long diagonal pass and accurately found Costa in the frontcourt. Costa jumped high before Rudiger, flicked his head and passed the football to Hazard who was advancing.

Hazard is very fast and has excellent ball control skills.

He stretched out his legs to hook the falling football back to a comfortable position in front of him, and without adjusting, he fired a blast right on the line of the penalty area.

The football roared out and headed straight for the Crystal Palace goal.

Both Mortensen and Shearer were very horrified and roared loudly. They really didn't expect Chelsea's attack to come suddenly. Moreover, the threat of this ball is very great, it is like a meteor, so dangerous!

The Chelsea fans at the scene screamed with excitement.

Unfortunately, Alisson made a great save in front of the goal and caught the football firmly.

Azar is in trouble

Believe it or not, can you hold this ball?

He stared at Alisson at the table in great surprise, his eyes unable to conceal his horror.

It turns out that we are not the only ones with cheats in front of the Chelsea goal, there are also cheats at Crystal Palace. Originally, Hazard was confident about his long-range shot, but after seeing the ball, he was really speechless.

Bang bang bang!

The Crystal Palace fans who came from afar applauded Alisson. This goal was really great. Even Tong Yi on the sidelines stood up and kept applauding.

Although Chelsea are disappointed, everyone is still very happy. Because they knew very well that their team gradually found the rhythm of the game, and the next step was the beginning of their Chelsea counterattack.

With a bang, De Bruyne knocked Chelsea's dream away with another long-range shot.

De Bruyne's long-range shot was really very fast, like a stream of light. Even Courtois in front of the goal did not touch the football. The football was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

Everyone in Chelsea was stunned.

Then, Chelsea fans criticized Fabregas, how could you shoot De Bruyne so easily with this ball? And it’s still in that position, how dangerous it is!

If Kanter Gay Jr. were playing this ball, this ball would definitely not give De Bruyne a chance to take a long shot.

Even Courtois was very angry, roaring loudly at the defensive players at the front of the penalty area, venting his dissatisfaction. Although he didn't name anyone, everyone knew exactly who he was talking about.

Fabregas was very calm and raised his hand directly, indicating that there was a problem with his defense this time. The Crystal Palace people will never be given such an opportunity next time.

In fact, Fabregas himself knows very well that his defensive pressure is very high.

In fact, he tried his best to defend this time, but De Bruyne still got rid of him. And there is Ibrahimovic to "screen and roll" for De Bruyne. How can he keep up with De Bruyne?

Fabregas really felt tremendous pressure.

After all, Chelsea had one less player, so the game was still very tiring.

Conte frowned when he saw this, but he had no good solution. If you want to attack and equalize the score, there will be problems in the backcourt. There is no way. Unless you move all your players back to defend and don't want to score any more goals.

Obviously, this is unrealistic.

In this game, Chelsea's goal is to win and overtake Crystal Palace.

However, no one expected this game to unfold like this. They got the red dot package right from the start, which put Chelsea in an absolute passive position. There was no way around it. Thinking of this, Conte hated Scott, the referee of this game. If this guy hadn't messed up, this game would have definitely ended

That won't be the case.

Conti also turned around and glared at Tong Yi opposite him!

Inside the stadium, Crystal Palace's offense is back!

It was really too fast. Who made Chelsea lose one person? Within a few minutes of organizing their attack, the ball was intercepted before they even advanced to the edge of Crystal Palace's penalty area.

Casemiro directly passed the football to the wing with a long diagonal kick. Mbappé on the wing jumped high, hit the football on top of William's head, and passed the football to Carvajal, who was rushing up. Carvajal sprinted up to intercept the ball and went straight down. After catching up with the football, he immediately made a pass.

The football drew a wonderful arc and flew directly into Chelsea's penalty area.

In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic and Luis jumped up almost at the same time. With a bang, the football was pushed out by Luis in a thrilling manner. The football flew out of the penalty area, but Fabregas at the front of the penalty area did not stop the football. The football rolled directly to De Bruyne behind him.

Chelsea fans are very worried. It's dangerous. It's De Bruyne again, in this position again.

Fabregas was also very worried. He immediately turned around and quickly pounced on De Bruyne.

But the moment he turned around, De Bruyne had already inserted the football into the ribs of Chelsea's penalty area with a diagonal kick, and then accurately rolled towards Salah in the space in the penalty area!

Danger, this is really dangerous.

Conte on the sidelines jumped up and frantically stretched out his hands to signal Chelsea's defensive players to intercept Salah.

If Salah is freed up in this position, isn't this looking for death?

Danger!

At this moment, Alonso was behind Salah and had no time to rush forward to interfere with Salah. Even at this time, Chelsea's defensive players had no chance to interfere with Salah. They could only place their hopes on goalkeeper Courtois, hoping that Courtois could perform a miracle and save the football from the bottom line.

The football quickly rolled in front of Salah. Salah didn't hesitate at all. He immediately swung his legs and fired without stopping the ball.

With a bang, Salah's kick was very precise. The football suddenly accelerated and shot out like a cannonball, like a stream of light.

The ball was really fast, so fast that everyone in Chelsea was desperate!

Courtois in front of the goal also immediately jumped out, arms stretched out, but did not touch the football at all. The football flew quickly past his palms, and then rushed into the goal behind him.

Two to zero!

Crystal Palace expanded the score. Salah scored the goal and De Bruyne assisted!

Seeing this, Conte's eyes dimmed. He instantly felt that the game was completely over and there was no chance of it.
