The three midfielders from left to right are Jingdongan, Delph and Brahim Dias.??.

Three forwards from left to right: Sane, Sterling and Silva

Goalkeeper Lu Ning

The back four from left to right Theo, Upamecano, Dias and Achraf

Double midfielder Llorente and Joan Armene

Single attacking midfielder Sabitzer

The front three from left to right Salah, Giroud and Gnabry

The starting lineups of these two teams really exceeded everyone's expectations. Almost all of them were substitutes and rotation players.

Manchester City's forward line is a little more normal, and the midfield and backfield are almost not the absolute main force.

Even the midfielder Dias was born in August 1999 and is only 18 years old now. The defense center back Adarabioyu was also born in September 1997 and is just 20 years old. They even have Phil Foden, born in 2000, and Lucas Nmecha, born in 1998, on their bench.

With this lineup, is it really, as you said before the game, that it is here to show off to all the Premier League teams?

Looking at this lineup, it seems like they are here to train newcomers!

But don't tell me, these newcomers from Manchester City are really famous.

Dias and Foden, in particular, are known as the twin stars of Manchester City's youth training and will be superstars who will influence the world football landscape in the future. It is said that many wealthy teams are now eyeing these two people, and it is even reported that Real Madrid is also very keen on these two people.

When Tong Yi saw these two people, he knew that their potential was not what the media reporters had boasted about.

Even in Tong Yi's memory, in the future, Dias will transfer to Real Madrid for 18 million pounds in 2019. Although he did not play out in Real Madrid, after he transferred to AC Milan, he became the No. 10 core of the Rossoneri and was regarded by the Milan Legion as the cornerstone of their rise and return to the top.

So, don’t underestimate these little guys just because they are young.

Foden even became the prince of Manchester City and was even called the new British star!

In addition to these two, Adarabioyo and Nmecha are generally optimistic, so these guys represent the future.

Yes, these guys may do well in the future, but they're still not that good now.

In this game, Guardiola allowed these guys to play. This seems to be a bit underestimating Crystal Palace, and it also means giving up this game?

Even Aguero, who clamored to beat Crystal Palace before the game, was not included in the squad, but sat in the stands.

This makes media reporters and fans very confused.

At this time, your Manchester City team is at odds with Crystal Palace and you can easily defeat Crystal Palace without letting other Premier League teams see it. So who will help you defeat Crystal Palace in the future?

Doesn’t the Premier League championship this season belong to Crystal Palace?

Anyway, a lot

Do people understand this!

Especially the Manchester City defense, many people are really worried.

Zinchenko is also very young, only 21 years old, and Adarabioyo is only 20 years old. Can this defense withstand the onslaught of Giroud and Salah?

Many people find it very confusing!

However, Manchester City fans still have confidence in Adarabioyo.

After all, this little guy has joined Manchester City since he was 5 years old and has been playing for Manchester City. He was once the captain of Manchester City's U18 youth team and reserve team. And they all feel that this little guy is very tough in frontal defense, and his defense and control ability is also very good at a height of 196. As long as he accumulates experience, he will definitely be the core of Manchester City's defense in the future.

At this time, it should be good for his growth to let him go to the Crystal Palace!

And the lineup at Crystal Palace is also surprising!

Unexpectedly, except for Salah who is the absolute main force in Crystal Palace's starting lineup, the others are all substitutes and rotation players.

Did the head coaches of the two teams discuss this game?

However, to be honest, media reporters and fans are still more optimistic about Crystal Palace after seeing the starting lineups of both sides.

Because although Crystal Palace has rotations and substitute players, they have played a lot of games.

These guys have played many games this season, and their experience may be stronger than many players in Manchester City's starting lineup.

Moreover, these players often win games. It is difficult for Manchester City to win.

Many media reporters feel that the young players from Crystal Palace are much better than the young players from Manchester City.

beep!

At this moment, the referee of this game directly blew the whistle to start the game.

The first to kick off was the home team Manchester City.

The Manchester City team still focuses on controlling the ball from the beginning, and the main controllers are basically Jingdong An and the retreating Silva. They play with these young players. Moreover, the pace of the game seemed to be slowed down by them. It could be seen that they were not particularly anxious at first.

Although Crystal Palace's high press put a lot of pressure on them, they still control the football well at present.

However, these young players from Manchester City were still a little panicked when they got the ball and faced the crazy pressure from the Crystal Palace people. The talented new midfielder Diaz was also a little flustered. After all, he played well in a game like this. But he is a genius after all, and he gradually stabilized.

The little guy Dias can play as an attacking midfielder or a winger. He has good breakthrough ability with the ball, crosses from the wing, and organizational skills. The only shortcomings now are his youth and inexperience, and his playing temperament. These all require game experience, but his starting platform is relatively high, and he already has the inherent temperament of some wealthy teams. This is much more calm and confident than those newcomers from small clubs.

However, he still has many problems from when he was playing in the youth team.

Sometimes it's still too sticky.

Overall, Manchester City's rhythm is a bit out of touch and they can't keep up.

Fortunately, in this game, his big brothers Silva and Jingdong An were in charge. With these two veterans leading the way, Dias played much more easily and was able to learn a lot. .

Such opportunities are still rare for him. He must seize the opportunity. He needs to draw nutrients from such games as soon as possible to improve himself and adapt to the rhythm and method of the first team's games as soon as possible.

At this moment, Dias had a problem with his sticky ball. ??

After stealing the ball, Crystal Palace's young midfielder Joan Armene used his strong body and perfect timing to intercept the ball directly from Dias' feet!

Obviously, Joan Armene plays much more calmly than Dias.

This is the reason why Joan Armene played enough games after coming to the first team of Crystal Palace. At first, when he first came to the first team, he had the same problem as Dias. Now as he plays more and more games, like this The problem has completely disappeared. I have gradually adapted to the rhythm of the first team competition and am playing like a duck in water!

After stealing the ball, Joan Armene immediately passed the ball directly to the feet of Gnabry on the wing.

Gnabry immediately went to challenge Manchester City's young full-back Zinchenko!

It is said that Guardiola is very optimistic about this Ukrainian young man and feels that he is the answer to Manchester City's future left back.

In this case, the future Manchester City team will have Zinchenko on the left and Walker on the right, and our Manchester City team will be invincible!

Then, Zinchenko was blown away by Gnabry in an instant.

Gnabry's ability to break through with the ball is very good, and he is also very fast. After he changed directions continuously, he suddenly passed Zinchenko with a crotch penetration. Zinchenko obviously played a bit tight in this game. When facing Gnabry, his brain reaction was a bit slow. In an instant, Gnabry seized the opportunity. He passed through the crotch and exploded. Zinchenko.

Seeing this, Guardiola frowned slightly!

This Zinchenko didn't show his proper ability at all. How did he play like this?

After passing Zinchenko, Gnabry went directly into the Manchester City penalty area and rushed towards the Manchester City goal.

Center back Mangala immediately moved over to intercept, and at the same time he reached out to signal the young Adarabioyo to move across to the center to cover. Adarabioyu's reaction was still very fast, and he immediately followed Mangala to maintain a relatively appropriate distance and block the empty position in the middle.

However, this guy Adarabioyo still has a clear mind and made a very correct judgment.

But at this time, Giroud rushed forward and blocked Adarabioyo with his strong body!

To be honest, although Adarabioyu is young, his physical strength is not bad. I don't think some young players are like bamboo sticks and suffer physically when they first join the first team. Although Adarabioyu's body is very well-proportioned, he is still very powerful. When he encounters ordinary forwards, he can really set up a confrontation, and he will not be too far behind in the confrontation. But when it comes to the current Giroud, Adarabioyu still lacks a little bit and is eaten to death in an instant.

Adarabioyu has been exerting his strength, trying to squeeze away Giroud and go up to block the defense.

Keep the line.

But Giroud didn't move at all. Adarabioyu was very nervous and worried. Guardiola on the sidelines was even more nervous.

With a bang, Gnabry on the wing suddenly took action and crossed the ball.

Gnabry saw Giroud stuck in his position and passed the ball directly. The football quickly rolled towards Giroud in the middle.

Giroud directly held Adarabioyu's legs and swept the ball. With a bang, the football shot towards the Manchester City goal. The ball speed was not as fast as yours in a teahouse.

The Manchester City fans at the scene were so nervous that they screamed, "Danger!"

Bravo in front of the goal reacted very quickly, jumped directly sideways, and saved the football from the bottom line with one palm!

The Manchester City fans at the scene became excited. This ball was saved beautifully. Originally, they all thought that this goal would definitely be scored, and it was so close!

Of course, there are also Manchester City fans who believe that Adarabioyu's interference also played a role in this goal. Otherwise, Giroud will definitely score this goal!

Crystal Palace fans all feel it is a pity, this is a very good opportunity!

Tong Yi applauded and nodded from the sidelines. This was a good goal. Of course, the 20-year-old Adarabioyo opposite looks good and has some talent. I just don’t know if I can really kick it out in the future.

Anyway, in Tong Yi's future memory, this guy will not be able to stay in the Manchester City team. But he was also chased by many Premier League teams, and there were even rumors later that Inter Milan wanted to introduce him to replace Skriniar who left!

This little guy still has potential, but he is still very immature right now!

In this game, he will let Giroud give this little guy a good whipping to let him know the cruelty of professional football.

Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity!

In the penalty area, Giroud immediately raised his hand to signal Ashraf in the corner to pass the football to him.

Adarabioyu, who was next to Giroud, became nervous instantly, and the hair on his body stood up. He was trying his best to defend. At this moment, Ashraf took a run-up and kicked the football hard into the Manchester City penalty area, flying directly to the center of the penalty area.

Giroud and Adarabioyu in the middle of the penalty area jumped up at the same time, competing for a header!

Adarabioyu tried his best, but unfortunately he faced the veteran Giroud who was more experienced and physically stronger than him. Giroud was stuck in position and at the same time used his strong body to suppress Adarabioyo severely. Adarabioyo felt very uncomfortable playing. He felt that he had a lot of energy in his body, but he just couldn't exert it.

At this moment, Giroud jumped up high, overwhelmed Adarabioyu, and slammed the football with his head!

"Header, Manchester City is in danger!" Mortensen suddenly roared loudly and loudly.

The hearts of the Manchester City fans at the scene were all tightened, and they secretly said it was over.

With a whoosh, the football shot into the Manchester City goal as fast as lightning. This time Bravo reacted equally quickly, but did not touch the football!

One to zero, Crystal Palace takes the lead!

Sure enough, young people have to pay tuition!
