When watching the players from both sides follow the referee team into the stadium, all the spectators and staff were shocked. What the hell is this? At this time, everyone understood why the commentators on the scene were stunned and in disbelief!

If you don’t look at the jerseys worn by the players on both sides, the fans at the scene would not know which team the players are from. Most of the players’ faces are very unfamiliar. Even the super die-hard fans cannot recognize them. These players who are starting the team. Because the faces of these players are really too immature and unfamiliar. They all look like they are not yet adults. They are all in junior high school, right?

The media reporters and celebrities in the stands were all dumbfounded.

This is not how you media reporters promoted it before the game!

We thought this game would be like Mars hitting the Earth, but what was the result?

In the end, is this Manchester United U17 vs. Crystal Palace U17?

Indeed, this is really unacceptable.

The reporters in the press box were really embarrassed at this time and rarely found a crack in the ground to get in.

Before the game, they praised the game very highly, wildly exaggerating the atmosphere of the game, and raising the expectations of all the audience. Result, that's it?

Looking at these children in the stadium, the fans at the scene were about to burst with anger.

These fans were madly cursing the media reporters at the scene. You are a bunch of money-hungry bastards. You are a bunch of bastards who have no rhythm and no bottom line for traffic and money. Go to hell!

To be honest, the media reporters are also very desperate!

How do they know the starting lineups for both sides of this game will be like this?

At this time, the media reporters who were belatedly realized that it was no wonder that the rosters of both sides of the game were almost submitted at the deadline for roster submission. Moreover, they tried their best to find out this list. It turned out that there was such a big secret hidden in it.

The media reporters almost fainted out of breath.

They were fooled!

Looking at the group of U17 players in the stadium, the media reporters were really speechless.

Of course, these young players in the stadium are not all U17 players, but they all have one characteristic, that is, they are young, very young.

Manchester United's goalkeeper Pereira was born in June 1996 and will not turn 21 until one month later. This is his first time playing for the Manchester United first team, and Tong Yi knows very well that this is also his only time playing for Manchester United. . Michel was born in 1997. He is 20 years old this year and is playing for the first team of Manchester United for the first time. Mensah was born in 1998 and is now 19 years old. He represents Manchester United this season.

More than 20 times.

Tuanzebe was born in 1997, 20 years old; McTominay was born in December 1996, 20 years old; Josie Harrop was born in December 1995, 21 years old; Deanley was born in September 1998, 18 years old ; Willock was born in August 1996, 20 years old.

Moreover, there is Angel Gomez, who was born in 2000, sitting on the bench of Manchester United. This is an authentic player of the U17 youth team.

Seeing the starting lineup of Manchester United, you will know why the fans are so angry!

The fans of Manchester United and Arsenal were furious. Mourinho, what are you going to do? Are you training new people, or are you selling the ball? Do you really want to give Crystal Palace a victory so that Crystal Palace can win the championship undefeated this season?

Arsenal fans were instantly furious. They felt that Mourinho and the Manchester United people were targeting them.

Otherwise, how could such a starting lineup be arranged?

This is simply giving victory to Crystal Palace!

Many of these Manchester United players have no first-team experience. How do you ask them to compete in Crystal Palace? Isn't this a victory for Crystal Palace?

Arsenal fans believed that this game was a match-fixing, and that Manchester United was like losing to Crystal Palace.

There must be dirty deals between Crystal Palace and Manchester United in private. Arsenal fans are calling on the FA to immediately intervene in the investigation to catch both teams and cancel all their results this season!

Arsenal fans obviously ignored the age of Crystal Palace's starting players in this game.

To be honest, compared to Manchester United, Crystal Palace is more like U17, at least in terms of age.

After all, there are three players born in 2000 among the players starting today at Crystal Palace. They are Davis, Joan Armene and David. These are all serious U17 players. Then Crystal Palace's Maignan, Dias, Upamecano and others are all very young. The average age of the starting lineup is almost less than 20 years old.

Therefore, if Manchester United is in a bad situation, then Crystal Palace is even worse than Manchester United.

Seeing this, the fans and media reporters at the scene were very surprised. They really can't understand. Does Tong Yi really not want to win this game? Otherwise, why would he choose such a starting lineup? This is simply delivering food!

The celebrities at the scene also frowned slightly, and they suddenly felt that today's game was played wrongly.

Of course, the most angry ones were the fans who bought scalped tickets.

They spent thousands of euros to get the tickets for this game. How did it end up like this?

Isn't this a money trap?

Countless people at the scene shouted refund, refund, refund!

The game hasn't started yet.

Seeing this situation, Mortensen, Shearer and others could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

As they said this, they didn't expect that these two teams would really dare to do this? This is really bold.

I wonder what kind of doubts Mourinho and Tong Yi will face after the game?

However, this game is already like this at this time, and it is obvious that it cannot be changed. Therefore, everyone can only keep watching. But obviously, after seeing this from both sides,

After the starting lineup, they had nothing to look forward to in this game.

How can such a starting lineup play a wonderful game?

Crystal Palace is a little better. There are still many regular Crystal Palace substitutes in their lineup. Their game experience is richer than these players from Manchester United. It seems that Crystal Palace should still have some advantages.

If Haaland, Sancho and Lautaro Martinez are not loaned to Nagelsmann, Crystal Palace can still add a few powerful U17 players in this game. In that case, Crystal Palace's advantage will be bigger.

So, seeing this, Shearer immediately said, "To be honest, the starting lineup of both sides was beyond our expectations. But judging from the current lineup, I think I am more optimistic about Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace obviously has experience. Rich, and all of them are geniuses, David’s vision says it all.”

Gary Neville immediately denied it and said, "The mood of our Manchester United team is no worse than that of Crystal Palace. Look at how many players in the current Premier League come from our Manchester United youth training? Our group of players is very good, such as goalkeepers." Sa, Tuanzebe, McTominay, etc. are all top players in the future. I don’t think our Manchester United team will be worse than Crystal Palace in this game. The talents of our Manchester United team are much better than the players of Crystal Palace. In this game, our Manchester United team should win, I believe in them!"

The more important thing Neville didn't say is that Rooney, Lingard and Balotelli are all sitting on the bench. Once the situation changes, Manchester United can still replace the main force and have a try with Crystal Palace. .

In this game, their Manchester United team will definitely win.

Neville is full of confidence in his Manchester United team.

However, Mortensen is indeed more optimistic about Crystal Palace, because although the players in Crystal Palace are young, none of them lacks game experience. Except for these few who were transferred from the youth team, the others have all experienced tough battles. These experiences are not comparable to this group of young people from Manchester United.

Therefore, in this game, Mortensen is more optimistic about Crystal Palace.

After all, people like Maignan, Dias, Upamecano, Achraf, Llorente, Sabitzer, Asensio and Ignacio have played in the Premier League, cup competitions and even the Champions League. Yes. This is an experience that this group of young people at Manchester United does not have. Their experience is too different.

In this game, Manchester United will definitely have no chance.

Moreover, Crystal Palace also has Ignacio who is competing with Jimenez on the front line. What did Manchester United use to defend Ignacio in this game?

Therefore, Crystal Palace must win this game.

Just three minutes into the first half, Crystal Palace completely suppressed Manchester United. These young players of Manchester United are very nervous. They have almost never played in front of so many spectators. The crowd roared so hard that their heads were turned into mush, and their reaction to kicking the ball was almost half a beat too slow.

Of course, there are also those players who go crazy because they play harder and harder when there are more people. This is McTominay.

The Scotsman was a little too excited, but he played very violently during the game, making big moves and appearing to be very reckless.

At this time, Manchester United was completely suppressed.

After Llorente and Sabitzer in the midfield passed the ball continuously, Sabitzer suddenly saw Asensio advancing. Asensio speeds up

Break away, chase the football, and then cross straight away. Ignacio in the middle directly used his strong body to resist Bailly beside him, and directly headed the ball.

David, the young player who rushed up, volleyed directly into the air, and the football roared out and flew straight to the Manchester United goal.

Pereira, the goalkeeper of the opposing Manchester United team, reacted quickly, but did not touch the football. The football hit the crossbar of the goal quickly and then quickly bounced back into the penalty area.

Ignacio in the penalty area stretched out his leg first and put the football into the Manchester United goal.

One to zero, Crystal Palace took the lead.

Seeing this, the Arsenal fans exploded instantly, cursing crazily and criticizing the damn Manchester United guys. Isn't that why you sent out such a starter? Damn you guys from Manchester United for playing match-fixing, you really deserve to die!

Arsenal fans couldn't stand it anymore, because they knew very well that Manchester United should be finished in this game.

Neville's face was also quite ugly. He didn't expect that the game would turn out like this.

At this time, the game has not ended, it has just begun.

Crystal Palace continued to press from a high position, which made Manchester United unable to withstand the pressure.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace once again played a very sharp attack.

Joan Armene, who was pressing forward, successfully intercepted the ball and quickly passed the football to the wing. After receiving the ball, Asensio on the wing immediately passed the ball and cut inside, entering the Manchester United penalty area. Then he quickly passed the football out in an inverted triangle. Ignacio and Sabitzer missed the ball continuously, allowing Llorente at the front of the penalty area to seize the opportunity. He directly met the ball and fired a heavy shot. The football whizzed past. Straight into the Manchester United goal.

Two to zero, Crystal Palace expanded the score.

By this time, the suspense has basically been revealed. Crystal Palace should be able to replicate the miracle that Arsenal once created. But the fans and celebrities at the scene were all indifferent. This game really disgusted them.

Of course, the most disgusting thing is the Arsenal fans, they feel like they are being fed excrement.

Arsenal fans all hate the damn Manchester United people, and these Manchester United people are trying to trick them.

Crystal Palace did not stop their attack at all. In the 38th minute of the first half, Ignacio received a pass from Ashraf from the wing at the front of the penalty area and stopped the ball with his left foot. , volleyed with his right foot and blasted the football into the Manchester United goal.

Three to zero, Crystal Palace easily led Manchester United by three goals in the first half, almost declaring Crystal Palace's victory in this game. However, in the second half of the game, Manchester United replaced Rooney and Balotelli one after another. They performed well and scored two goals in the 21st and 33rd minutes respectively, which gave Arsenal hope.

However, Crystal Palace quickly made adjustments. Mbappe performed well after coming on the field. After continuous breakthroughs from the wing, he entered the penalty area. After attracting the defensive players, he passed a cross pass and passed the football into the space. At the feet of Ignacio. Ignacio succeeded in pushing the ball into the empty goal. While he scored a hat trick, he also helped Crystal Palace stabilize the situation.

In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Manchester United 4-2 in the away game and won the last victory in the Premier League this season. It ensured that Crystal Palace was undefeated in the Premier League this season and successfully replicated the mythical miracle of Arsenal's unbeaten championship in the 2003-2004 season!
