Legendary Godfather

Corner kick, Manchester City got a chance for a corner kick!

Goretzka in the corner has been staring at the Crystal Palace penalty area, looking for someone.

The penalty area was full of people, and hand-to-hand combat was going on fiercely. Some people even lost their footing.

At this moment, Goretzka drove the football out in an arc and flew directly to the back of the penalty area.

Otamendi, who was in the back position, jumped up high and slammed the football with his head. The football shot rapidly towards the Crystal Palace goal.

Danger!

With a pop, the football flew quickly into Maignan's arms!

Maignan's positioning is very good.

oops!

The Manchester City fans in the stands scratched their heads and lamented, what a great opportunity, this is a 100% chance to score.

Because there is no one to defend Otamendi!

Casemiro, who was guarding Otamendi, slipped and fell forward. Goretzka saw the opportunity and passed the ball over.

Otamendi also hit the football and completed a very beautiful shot.

Unfortunately, I still didn’t get in!

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Maignan performed too well.

At this time, no one really remembers who Alisson is!

Even now it is very likely that after the end of this season, Maignan will be the goalkeeper of the season in the Premier League this season.

Well done!

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene immediately gave Maignan a thunderous applause.

Maignan immediately rushed out with the football in hand, trying to launch a quick counterattack. It's a pity that Otamendi reacted very quickly and stayed close to Maignan, giving Maignan no chance to play the ball quickly. This also gave the Manchester City players time to retreat quickly.

Therefore, Crystal Palace's quick counterattack failed.

Maignan had to slow down the pace.

Then after controlling the time, he threw the football to Cancelo on the wing.

It can be seen that the Crystal Palace actually wants to control it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Canse, who had just received the ball, suddenly made a long diagonal pass with his big foot, directly passing the football to Mbappe diagonally opposite.

The Manchester City fans turned their eyes away and were instantly horrified.

Because Mbappe had already accelerated in advance, he got rid of Manchester City's defensive player Zinchenko early and quickly penetrated into Manchester City's penalty area.

And the football flew exactly towards Mbappe's path!

Danger, danger for Manchester City!

Fast, too fast, the pace of this game.

By this time, both teams were fully committed to the game, and the game had entered a fierce stage. To be honest, at this time, no one can really see who can win this game.

Many media reporters have noticed that the strength gap between the two teams is not particularly large.

In their opinion, both teams have a chance to win.

Now, the Crystal Palace occupies

Advantage.

Because Mbappe got a good opportunity!

Cancelo's long pass was very accurate, and it also reached a position that made Manchester City goalkeeper Bravo very embarrassed.

It's too late to attack, and if you don't attack, you're afraid of not being able to guard Mbappe.

This is really a dilemma!

However, at this time, Bravo did not hesitate and attacked quickly!

Seeing this, the Manchester City fans were all sweating for Bravo. There was an element of gambling in it.

Danger!

Just when Bravo ran half the distance, Mbappe had already caught up with the falling football.

Seeing Bravo rushing out, Mbappé didn't show any delay or hesitation. He immediately stretched his legs to cushion the rapidly falling football - and shot directly without waiting for the football to hit the ground!

The football flew upwards rapidly and quickly passed over the head of Bravo who rushed out.

Manchester City fans are desperate!

Damn it, our Manchester City team won't be overtaken, right?

Guardiola on the sidelines did not dare to watch anymore. This ball was really too dangerous.

Bravo immediately turned his head to look at the rapidly falling football, which was falling towards their Manchester City goal.

Ruined!

There was a clang of steel, and the football hit the crossbar of Manchester City's goal hard, and then bounced off the baseline.

hiss!

Everyone gasped.

Crystal Palace fans felt it was a pity, it was so close. If Mbappé had been a little less energetic, this goal would have definitely been scored. It's a pity that the ball hit the crossbar. It's really a pity.

The Manchester City fans were all reeling from the disaster and exhaled a sigh of relief.

At this time, they were not happy, some were just worried.

This ball is really too dangerous.

Bravo also breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately turned towards Zinchenko and roared crazily, "Follow your people, focus, what are you doing? Stick to him!"

Zinchenko also knew that the ball was his own problem, and he immediately raised his hand to signal to Bravo. And he patted his chest and assured Bravo that there would be no next time.

Bravo really has Zinchenko to blame, but just reminded him.

Therefore, after receiving Zinchenko's assurance, he immediately gave Zinchenko a thumbs up and told him to come on!

During this period, the two sides really went back and forth, and both teams had opportunities.

Therefore, it is more critical at this time. Now it depends on who can't withstand it first.

A goal scored at this time is likely to determine the outcome of the game.

Therefore, both teams are very cautious and very active.

They are all there

Looking for opportunities to win.

The Manchester City team sent the goal kick directly, but they did not pass the ball long, but short passes to advance the front bit by bit. It has to be said that Guardiola played this set very smoothly. Manchester City quickly advanced the front line to the edge of the Crystal Palace penalty area.

At this time, Tong Yi no longer sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and stood on the sidelines.

He kept reaching out, reminding the Crystal Palace players of their defensive focus and reminding them to defend seriously.

At this time, it is indeed very critical.

Tong Yi also felt that Manchester City could never be given a chance at this time. If the Manchester City people scored, the game would really be over!

Of course, Crystal Palace won three to one in the first round.

At this time, even if Crystal Palace lost 2-3, it was Crystal Palace who advanced to the final.

However, Tong Yi is really unwilling to give Manchester City a chance. They don't want to see Manchester City win. He doesn't even want other teams in the Premier League to see that Manchester City can defeat Crystal Palace! After all, only the Crystal Palace that maintains a complete victory can make these guys fearful. Only in the following leagues will the Crystal Palace be more relaxed.

Therefore, this game must not be lost!

Strengthen your defense!

Tong Yi, wearing a black suit, stood quietly on the sidelines with his arms crossed, staring intently into the court.

At this time, Goretzka from Manchester City suddenly shot!

This was so shocking that Tong Yi screamed, "Hey! How did you defend? How did you give him space for a long shot?"

He has reminded him many times, and you have all been teammates with Goretzka for many years. Don’t you remember that Goretzka has a very good long-range shot? How can you give him such a large space for long-range shots and let him take long-range shots calmly?

Are you crazy?

Tong Yi was really anxious and dissatisfied.

The defensive players of Crystal Palace in the stadium were instantly aware of Casemiro's problem. He rushed out quickly, even jumped up, and turned sideways to block the football with his body!

But the football blasted by Goretzka flew past his ears like a stream of light and flew quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.

Seeing this, Casemiro was heartbroken!

However, even as he jumped in the air, he immediately turned his head and looked over, his eyes following the flying football.

The speed of the ball was really too fast, like a cannonball being discharged.

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene also felt the crisis. They looked at the football flying like an arrow with pale faces, and they were extremely worried in their hearts.

The Manchester City fans all stood up, their eyes full of surprise and expectation.

Van Dijk in the penalty area watched the football flying over, and he immediately turned sideways to block the flying football with his body.

But the ball was too fast, and his judgment was not accurate at all. The football was too fast.

The ground flew past him and towards the goal behind him.

Van Dijk is a little desperate!

Because the general trajectory of this ball is to fly to the upper right corner, Maignan in front of the goal can't save it even if he has three heads and six arms, right? This is really too dangerous!

To be honest, Van Dijk’s idea is not an exaggeration at all!

The reality is even worse than Van Dijk imagined. That is, the view of Maignan behind him is blocked, and he does not see the football flying. At this time, Maignan has not even made a judgment. Come.

After seeing the football flying quickly from Van Dijk's side, Maignan saw the trajectory of the football.

At this point it is too late to react.

However, Maignan did not give up. He immediately pounced out and tried his best to pounce on the upper right corner of the goal!

Maignan himself had no confidence in this goal and had no choice but to do his best and obey fate.

Maignan did it to the extreme!

However, he did not touch the football at all. The football flew over quickly, hit the lower edge of the crossbar in the upper right corner of the goal, and then quickly bounced into the Crystal Palace goal.

The ball went in!

In the 31st minute of the second half, Manchester City finally broke through the Crystal Palace goal and exceeded the score again.

Three to two, Manchester City took the lead!

The Manchester City fans jumped up instantly and screamed with excitement, as crazy as if they had won the league championship. Even more people held their heads in their hands, expressing disbelief. They really didn't expect this to come in, it's incredible!

Of course, the commentator on the scene was also very emotional, roaring excitedly, "Super Invincible World Wave!"

Goretzka, Goretzka responded with a super invincible world wave to his old club Crystal Palace and his former coach Tong Yi.

The Manchester City fans were very excited and rushed towards Goretzka who scored.

However, Goretzka was very calm and had no intention of celebrating the goal.

Seeing this, the Crystal Palace fans had very mixed emotions. There were even many guys who stared directly at Goretzka in the stadium and shed tears, not knowing what to say?

Guardiola on the sidelines didn't care about this. He was so excited that he didn't even hold back. He rushed out excitedly and made a passionate kneel on the sidelines. But he stopped sliding within two meters, and his body fell forward in an instant, and he fell like a dog!

However, Guardiola was still excited and lay down on the turf and screamed!

Seriously, you rarely see Guardiola like this.

This is really a different kind of Guardiola!

It can be seen that Guardiola is really, really excited. It seems that he has already seen Manchester City win this game. Of course, what he was excited about was not that Manchester City won, but that Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace!
