612: The second half begins, another lightning strike!

Before the end of the first half, Manchester United even had an excellent opportunity to overtake the score.

Pogba was in excellent form in the midfield. He continuously protected the ball in the midfield, used his body to push Kante away, and immediately sent a precise through ball sideways, sending the football to Rudiger and Van Dijk. in the gap between the body.

Morata advanced forward at the right time, passed and ran in a tacit understanding, and got a great opportunity.

Facing Maignan's attack, Morata, under great expectations, kicked the football wide of the left post.

The Manchester United fans at the scene were dumbfounded!

Can't you even score this one-on-one goal that's so close at hand?

Morata, are you really a double reverse football player? Are you paying tribute to your predecessor Torres? Or are you really the only one who can score goals with your header?

Manchester United fans were truly speechless.

Neville in the commentary box was stunned when he saw this, like a statue.

He really had nothing to say.

Nothing to say!

Even Shearer and Mortensen looked at each other and shook their heads. Such centers are rare!

It would be understandable to say that this was a one-time incident. After all, horses sometimes stumble and people make mistakes.

However, this is not the first time that Morata has been in this situation since he came to Manchester United. The single-handed goals he missed immediately need both hands to count.

No wonder Mourinho on the sidelines was furious.

If you can't seize such an opportunity, why are you playing as a forward?

But now Manchester United really needs a center like Morata and his header. If they had known that Morata was like this, they should have introduced Lukaku in the summer and let Lukaku return to Manchester United. Team.

At the beginning, the reason why Manchester United introduced Morata instead of Lukaku was because Lukaku had joined Manchester United that year, and there was still a big dispute between the two sides. Therefore, Mourinho gave up Lukaku and introduced Morata.

Now it seems that they should have brought in Lukaku.

I really regret it now.

If you can't seize such an opportunity, you really deserve to be called "Mo Latou"!

At the end of the half, the two sides were still tied at 2-2.

However, Manchester United fans are still very satisfied at this time. They felt that Manchester United had the upper hand in this first half, especially since they almost overtook the score. In this game, their Manchester United team has a very high chance of winning. They all hope that the Manchester United players will work hard in the second half of the game and win this game.

Neville also said, "As far as the current game is concerned, I think Manchester United played very well, and their condition is also very good. They are currently in control of the game. I believe that after the halftime break, Manchester United The game should show more strength in the second half and Manchester United should be able to win this game and become the first team to defeat Crystal Palace this season."

Having said that, guilt

Weir did not forget to turn his head and glance at Hiller.

Hiller smiled slightly and said, "Really? Are you so confident now?"

Neville immediately said, "Of course. You haven't seen the first half of the game. Our Manchester United team has taken the initiative. Our Manchester United team will definitely win this game."

Shearer shook his head slightly and said, "The score is currently a draw, and as far as the first half of the game is concerned, Manchester United does not have the advantage. The two teams can be said to be evenly matched. Manchester United still has to put in some effort to win. And I also I don’t think Manchester United will win this game. There are still problems with Manchester United’s offense. On the contrary, Crystal Palace will definitely speed up in the second half of the game. It’s hard to say whether Manchester United can keep up with Crystal Palace by then. .”

Neville raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head slightly, not convinced by Hiller's words.

Neville said, "Really? Let's wait and see who sees it more accurately!"

Hiller said nothing and just nodded.

Mortensen said at this time, "For now, this half of the game is still very exciting. Both teams have shown their own level, which makes the fans enjoy watching. But who will win this game? It’s hard to say. It all depends on the next performance of the two teams? So, who can have the last laugh in this game, let’s wait and see! Fifteen minutes later, we will look at the second half of the game between the two sides!”

Then, BBC Sports began to enter the advertising link.

Inside the stadium, players from both sides returned to their locker rooms.

Mourinho said, "It's very good. You played very well in the first half of the game. Continue to persevere in the second half and deal with it well. Our Manchester United team has a great chance to win this game. We want to create history and send off It gave Crystal Palace their first defeat. We want everyone around the world to know that in the Premier League, only our Manchester United team is a hurdle that Crystal Palace people cannot overcome. We, Manchester United, are the kings of the Premier League!"

The Manchester United players howled with excitement.

At this time, the Manchester United players were indeed very excited. After all, they are still in silence in the first half of the game and have not recovered yet. In the first half of the game, they really almost overtook the score and led Crystal Palace.

Mourinho immediately said, "Yes, yes, we must continue your current state, remember your current feelings, and continue to play like this in the second half of the game. I believe that our Manchester United team can win!"

The players of Manchester United also nodded one after another, indicating that they understood.

Then, Mourinho began to talk about Manchester United's tactical focus in the second half of the game, and from which position it is easier to attack and score goals.

The Manchester United players listened very carefully and very seriously.

It can be seen

Come on, Manchester United really wants to win this game.

Manchester United is plotting, and Crystal Palace is not idle either.

Tong Yi was quite satisfied with the team's performance in the first half of the game.

He said, "Although we almost fell behind in the first half, you still played well in the first half. Although we did not show our 100% strength. But it was okay. You can continue the game in the second half. Of course, in the second half, You have to work harder in the game, you know? Manchester United is working hard here!"

Indeed, towards the end of the first half, Manchester United really stepped up their offense and became more energetic.

That's when Crystal Palace nearly conceded a third goal.

At that time, Crystal Palace's defense was completely collapsed, but it was a pity that Morata did not seize the opportunity. But you can't count on Morata making mistakes every time. As long as they seize one opportunity, Crystal Palace will be finished. .??.

Therefore, at this time, Crystal Palace people must be vigilant and work harder.

The Crystal Palace players nodded and agreed.

Tong Yi continued, "In the second half of the game, we continued to play two wings, especially Luke Shaw's side. In the first half of the game, there was almost no sound from his side, and it almost sank, which shows that his state is not good. Not very good. Do you understand that this point should be exploited?"

The Crystal Palace fans immediately nodded and said "Got it!"

Tong Yi was very satisfied, and then said directly, "It's the same with Damian. He can't guard against our Salah. So go to two wings and two more wings, do you understand?"

The Crystal Palace players nodded again to show they understood.

Tong Yi was very satisfied and continued, "We have only one goal in this game, and that is to win and advance to the semi-finals of the EFL Cup. We want to defend the title!"

The Crystal Palace players immediately roared in unison, "Defense, defend, defend!"

Tong Yi is still very satisfied with the spirit of the players. He feels that if this game continues, Crystal Palace will definitely win.

Then, Tong Yi turned around and drew two lines on the tactical board, and explained the tactics for the second half in detail.

The Crystal Palace players listened very carefully and were very engaged.

Obviously, everyone wants to win this game.

Now both sides are gearing up and can't wait.

Soon, the fifteen minutes of intermission passed, and the players from both sides quickly walked into the Tongyi Stadium, preparing for the upcoming second half of the game.

"Okay, the players from both sides are back on the court again, and the decisive battle in the second half of the game between the two sides is about to begin." Mortensen said immediately.

beep!

The referee Taylor blew the whistle and immediately

Then the whistle was blown to start the second half of the game between the two sides.

Not long after the second half started, Crystal Palace stole the ball in midfield. Kante cut off the football from Pogba's feet this time, which caused a burst of wailing from Manchester United fans. Kanter immediately passed the football across the ball, and the football rolled to Llorente's feet.

Llorente didn't give McTominay a chance to pounce, and he didn't even give the young Scotsman a chance to foul. The Spaniard made a quick sideways change and passed McTominay directly. Then he didn't stick to the ball and passed the football directly to the frontcourt immediately.

The football rolled towards De Bruyne rapidly, and Blind immediately got on top of it, preventing De Bruyne from easily receiving the ball or turning around easily.

Unexpectedly, De Bruyne didn't stop the ball at all at this time, but opened his legs and passed the football directly.

Blind was shocked, but he had no time to block it and could only watch the football roll behind him.

Blind immediately turned around and quickly pounced on the football!

The football immediately rolled towards Giroud, who had pulled out of the penalty area and had his back against Lindelof who was rushing up.

Giroud did not stop the ball, but swept the ball across the wing without giving Blind, who rushed back, any chance.

The football quickly rolled towards Salah on the wing, and Manchester United's full-back Damian immediately stepped forward to meet him.

At this moment, Salah saw the ball and immediately stretched out his right foot and stepped on the football. Damian immediately leaned forward, pressed his body against Salah, and stretched out his legs to poke the football at Salah's feet.

Salah easily stepped on the ball and pulled it back, then quickly knocked the football diagonally forward with the inside of his right foot, and the football quickly rolled away from Damian. Go over and roll behind him.

Damian was shocked. He immediately turned around and prepared to speed up to catch up with the football!

But the moment he turned around, an afterimage rushed past him and chased the football!

Cancelo!

Cancelo quickly chased the football and passed the ball directly near the baseline.

With a whoosh, the football drew an arc and flew quickly into the Manchester United penalty area.

In the middle of the penalty area is Giroud who turned around quickly and rushed into the penalty area.

Lindelof followed Giroud and ran into the penalty area, looking at the football flying in the air. The two jumped at the same time and scrambled for the football.

With a bang, Giroud, who jumped higher, hit the flying football hard, and the football immediately shot towards the Manchester United goal as fast as lightning.

Romero in front of the goal immediately jumped into the air and reached out to save.

With a whoosh, the football flew past Romero's palm and hit the Manchester United goal!

Three to two, Crystal Palace once again expanded the score, and it was Giroud who scored!
