232: Role reversal in the turn of events

At half-time, Crystal Palace already led 2-0. Chelsea might not be able to survive this game.

The Chelsea fans at home were silent.

After the game restarted, Crystal Palace's morale was high. They attacked frantically, seemingly wanting to beat Chelsea to death with a stick. At this time, many people suddenly discovered that this game was very similar to the last time the two sides met, except that the roles were reversed.

Last time, Chelsea led by three goals at halftime, and the two sides ended up tied 4-4.

Could it be that in this game, Crystal Palace also wants to lead by three goals at halftime?

Suddenly, Chelsea launched a quick attack. After a continuous one-two between Willian on the wing and Cesc Fabregas in the midfield, the football quickly rolled to the feet of Willian who advanced forward. William deceived Carvajal with an extra cross pass, then quickly changed to the bottom, and then dunked again, cutting directly into the penalty area.

With a bang, William shot from a small angle, and the football hit the side net hard.

Costa was very dissatisfied and frequently showed his hands at William!

What are you doing?

My place is already empty, the position is completely free, and the pass is a chance to score!

And with Van Dijk in front of you and Alisson in front of the goal from a small angle, there is no chance at all. Why do you have to force your kick and knock the football off the baseline?

Costa didn't understand and immediately roared at William, signaling to pass the ball!

Originally, Chelsea didn't have many opportunities in this game. Are you still wasting the opportunity like this? Do you think you are an undercover agent of Crystal Palace?

Costa really doesn’t know what to say!

Even if we are undercovers, Alonso and I should be undercovers for the Crystal Palace. After all, we both played under coach Tong Yi and he dug them all out. Who do you think William is?

Costa was really speechless.

Conte on the sidelines was also very speechless. He also believed that passing the ball was the best choice. As long as the football is passed to Costa's feet, the goal will definitely be scored!

It's a pity that William is too independent.

William also realized that he was wrong and immediately raised his hand to Costa, saying that it was his fault.

William admitted his mistake, and Costa couldn't say anything else.

But, to be honest, this really affects morale. At least Costa is relieved in his heart. If you don't pass the ball when you have such a good opportunity, I will kick the ball!

Goal kick, Crystal Palace immediately kicked the goal kick away.

Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt jumped high, but he didn't touch the football at all. The football was pushed out by Luis behind him, and the football flew in front of Hazard who was retreating. But before Hazard could remember to stop the ball, Kanter rushed out from behind him and stretched his legs to poke the football forward.

De Bruyne, who had his back to the Chelsea goal, did not stop the ball and passed directly across the ball, giving no chance to Cesc Fabregas who was rushing behind him. The football rolled quickly to the wing. Cancelo, who rushed up from the wing, passed the ball forward directly, facing Pedro in front of him.

, Cancelo suddenly passed the ball and accelerated past Pedro.

Just when Pedro turned around immediately, Cancelo, who was catching up with the football, quickly passed the football to Ibrahimovic who turned forward.

Lewis's turn was a little slower, and Ibrahimovic got rid of him in an instant.

Fortunately, Cahill reacted quickly in the penalty area and directly crossed Ibrahimovic's path, giving Ibrahimovic no chance to continue advancing.

If Ibrahimovic is allowed to pass, it will be a one-shot!

The football rolled into Courtois's arms, and Courtois was also frightened.

Just one miss, just one miss before Cahill allowed Ibrahimovic to rush over.

It would be dangerous for Ibrahimovic to rush over.

Crystal Palace's performance in this game really exceeded the expectations of all Chelsea players. They were really too ruthless. Of course, it was mainly because of the red dot package at the beginning of the game. Without this red dot package, the progress of this game would never be what it is now.

Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief before Courtois fired the ball into the Crystal Palace half with a big kick.

Costa and Van Dijk jumped high, and with a bang, they both hit the football, and the football immediately flew out of the sideline.

Costa glanced at Van Dijk after landing, and then immediately turned to attack.

Pedro on the wing threw the ball out, and Cesc Fabregas, who came from midfield, immediately pushed the football back to him. He immediately passed the ball to Matic who was advancing forward. Matic didn't wait for the football to land and took advantage of the situation to pass the ball towards the Crystal Palace penalty area.

In the penalty area, Costa immediately dived forward and headed the ball towards the Crystal Palace goal.

The ball was still very fast, but unfortunately the angle was off and it flew directly out of the baseline.

This goal is really a good opportunity for Chelsea, but it is a pity that they are not lucky.

Chelsea actually had a lot of opportunities in this game, but there were not many opportunities that really threatened the Crystal Palace goal.

Goal kick, Crystal Palace won the goal kick.

At present, the first half of the game has entered its final stages. Crystal Palace leads 2-0, which can be said to be a great situation. More importantly, Chelsea still has one player missing. Crystal Palace has basically won this game, right?

At least that's what the Crystal Palace people think.

However, Chelsea obviously did not give up. After all, this is their home court, how could they lose to Crystal Palace?

With a bang, the goal kick came out, Ibrahimovic hit the football, De Bruyne stopped the ball with his chest, and then quickly passed the football to the wing. Cancelo, who rushed up from the wing, caught up with the football and directly reversed the triangle.

Pass the football to De Bruyne's feet.

De Bruyne quickly advanced with the ball, and Matic immediately rushed forward.

De Bruyne suddenly made a crotch pass directly past Matic. After catching up with the football, he got ahead of Fabregas and pushed the football to the wing again.

After Cancelo received the ball on the wing, he immediately cut inside laterally and headed towards the center, compressing Chelsea's defense.

Then he quickly pushed the football diagonally to the wing. Salah, who rushed up from the wing, caught up with the football and kicked the ball directly.

Ibrahimovic and Luis, who were at the front, jumped high, but unfortunately neither of them hit the football. The football passed directly over the heads of the two men and chased towards the back point.

Mbappe rushed up and directly blasted Alonso, facing the falling football and volleying directly into the air.

There was a loud bang, and the football shot towards Chelsea's goal rapidly.

With such a close range burst, even Courtois had no chance. Courtois' reaction was already very fast, but there was no possibility of touching the football.

Chelsea people are desperate!

clang!

The ball hit the bottom edge of the crossbar hard and bounced quickly into Chelsea's goal.

A volley shot from close range, the football whizzed past, and then flew into Chelsea's goal like lightning. Chelsea fans were dumbfounded when they saw this ball and were speechless for a long time!

With a pop, Mbappe was pushed to the ground by Carvajal, who rushed up from behind, and then pressed forward crazily.

Beautiful, beautiful goal!

The Chelsea fans at the scene were dumbfounded. Is this okay?

But Mbappe did play well in this goal, and the difficulty of this goal was actually quite high. Being able to complete such a volley in such a hurry is really amazing. The shooting skills of the molybdenum target are amazing!

Conte spread his hands and shook his head, very helpless!

How can such a defense defend Crystal Palace's offense? It's impossible to defend against it. The main reason is that there is one less person. This game is really difficult for the Chelsea people. There is almost no hope of a comeback!

Although the Crystal Palace people's offense was very crazy in this half of the game and consumed a lot of physical energy. But Chelsea cannot counterattack in the second half like Crystal Palace did in the first round. Because they had one less player in this game, the physical exertion of the Chelsea players in the first half of the game was not much worse than that of the Crystal Palace players!

Therefore, in the second half of the game, Chelsea did not have any physical advantage. How could you counterattack?

That's why Conte is so desperate at this time!

Is Chelsea really going to lose this game?

If they lose this game, Chelsea will be four points behind Crystal Palace. With the last nine rounds of the league remaining, there is still a possibility of chasing four points. But judging from the current state of Crystal Palace, it will be difficult to catch up, and it is even possible that we will not be able to catch up.

!

Therefore, we must not lose this game!

Even if you go all out, you can't lose this game, at least you have to maintain a draw!

Yes, Conte did not give up on this game, they wanted to get a draw.

If the two sides maintain a one-point difference, Chelsea will still have a chance. If the gap is four points, it will be very important, so Chelsea must at least maintain a draw in this game.

Conte immediately came to the sidelines and loudly reminded and encouraged the Chelsea players.

You must not give up at this time. This giving up means giving up the efforts of the entire season and giving up the league championship this season. Therefore, in this game, I held my nerve and attacked like crazy, trying to score goals as soon as possible!

The Chelsea players in the stadium really didn't want to lose, they also wanted to win the league championship. Therefore, after hearing Conte's cry, they did not give up and attacked frantically.

They strive to score a goal in the first half of the game, which will make the second half much easier.

The Chelsea people are really going all out. Even if their physical fitness is exhausted after this game, they will still fight. This game is their championship battle, they must win it!

The Crystal Palace side naturally felt the determination and pressure of the Chelsea people. It can be seen that the Chelsea people are really willing to go all out.

Tong Yi on the sidelines also noticed it. He reminded the Crystal Palace players to pay attention and be cautious and not give the Chelsea people a chance. Even in the next game, it's okay to make bigger moves. Try to consume the physical energy of the Chelsea people. Chelsea will definitely not be able to play the whole game in the second half.

So, keep it up and hold on!

Our Crystal Palace must win this game!

At this time, Chelsea launched a ferocious attack. First, Costa tested the defensive strength of Crystal Palace in the penalty area. After passing the ball from the wing, Costa headed the ball from the center. The threat was full, but it was a pity that Alisson performed very well and directly caught the football with a side dive.

However, it was Hazard who received a through ball from Cesc Fabregas one step inside the penalty area. He then swung his leg and dunked the space, and directly swung his leg and shot. Unfortunately, the football slightly deceived the post and missed the goal by one. Diudiu broke the goal.

Chelsea people really feel extremely sorry!

Finally, Chelsea got a good free kick opportunity at the front of the penalty area. Willian stood in front of the football and almost broke the Crystal Palace goal with a curved kick. If it were not for Carvajal's header on the goal line to clear the ball, the goal would have been scored.

In other words, Chelsea still have the ability to attack. Crystal Palace really cannot take it lightly. Otherwise, their victory in this game will not be maintained.

At this moment, Scott blew the whistle to end the first half.

At halftime, Crystal Palace, playing away from home, had a three-goal lead, almost sealing the victory!
