Legendary Godfather

Bolton personnel were celebrating passionately, but the Crystal Palace people were very worried. They rushed in front of captain Speroni.

Speroni was in great pain and fell to the ground.

Kanter could clearly see that Speroni's forehead was covered with big beads of sweat.

pain!

Speroni was really in too much pain at this point.

Tong Yi, who was on the sidelines, waved his hand and said, "Leo, go take a look and see how Julian is doing?"

Wagner immediately stood up and rushed onto the court wearing his assistant.

He quickly came to Speroni, and he knew something was wrong as soon as he saw him.

Speroni's shoulder was swollen and looked scary.

hiss!

Wagner was praying that Speroni would not break any bones.

Otherwise, Speroni will be out for three months at the very least.

Wagner and his assistant Diana quickly evacuated the players gathered here, then performed a simple check on Speroni, and then performed simple pain relief.

Diana immediately turned towards the coaching bench and made a substitution gesture!

"Wow, it seems that Speroni's injury this time is not serious. Crystal Palace is going to make a substitution! This is not a good thing for Crystal Palace. Maybe it will affect the trend of this game. "Mortensen lived like this.

Shearer kept nodding and said, "Indeed, Speroni performed very well in this game. He made many key saves. Without him, Bolton would be in the lead now!"

The Bolton fans at the scene were very excited and excited. They seemed to see the hope of the team winning.

Seeing Diana's gesture, Tong Yi frowned.

He immediately turned around and shouted to the bench, "Eduardo, change your clothes quickly and come out!"

Yes, there is no time for Mendi to warm up at this time.

Mendi stood up immediately, quickly took off his coat, arranged his equipment, and was ready to play.

To be honest, Mendi felt very surprised, and he was a little unprepared.

Why did he get a chance to play now?

He has not appeared in the squad for three consecutive games. After Tong Yi returned in this game, he was put back into the squad. He thought he would sit on the bench for ten minutes just to watch the game up close.

Little did he know that an opportunity suddenly came to him.

He was very excited and his body was shaking a little.

He didn't expect that his debut in the British Championship would come so quickly and suddenly.

He originally thought that he would serve as the third goalkeeper at Crystal Palace for a few years, and then get his first chance to play a few years later. Who knew that he would get a chance to play today.

Mendi was a little excited and a little worried, and he was in a complicated mood.

miscellaneous.

However, he himself is also very much looking forward to this opportunity.

This is his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If Speroni's injury is too serious, and if he seizes the performance of today's game, it is impossible to say that he will become the starting lineup of Crystal Palace. But if he fails to seize the opportunity today, it is very likely that Mendy will not be the starting goalkeeper in the next Crystal Palace game.

This opportunity is very important to him.

After sorting out his equipment, Mendy immediately came to Tong Yi's side.

Tong Yi said calmly, "Don't be nervous, just go to the game like you are training. You have to believe in yourself. You are the goalkeeper who is valued by me, Tong Yi. You are a genius. Do you understand?"

Edouard Mendy suddenly felt a lot more confident, and his mentality was very high.

He said "I will work hard, boss!"

Tong Yi smiled slightly, patted Mendi's head and said, "Go ahead, go and perform well!"

Mendi nodded firmly and quickly walked to the sidelines.

"It's time to make a substitution. Crystal Palace will return the young French goalkeeper Edouard Mendy! This young man is only 20 years old now, very young. Today is also the fourth time he has entered the Crystal Palace game squad this season. But the previous He was not included in the squad for the three games. In the first three games, Campbell trusted England's local goalkeeper Lewis Price more," Mortensen said immediately.

Shearer also immediately nodded and said, "To be honest, I still think Price is actually more suitable than Mendy. The 28-year-old Price is much more experienced than Mendy. He is actually more suitable for the position of second goalkeeper." Yes! In the position of goalkeeper, a veteran is actually more suitable!"

Yes, both Shearer and Mortensen are not optimistic about Mendy.

After all, Mendi is too young.

Even before that, Mendi had no experience in professional football.

If he plays rashly at this time, his performance will most likely be very bad. His young mind cannot withstand such great pressure.

"Perhaps including Mendy in the squad was Tong Yi's biggest mistake in this game!" Mortensen said.

Substitute!

Crystal Palace made a substitution, Edouard Mendy replaced the seriously injured Speroni.

Tong Yi no longer cared about the situation inside the stadium, but immediately came to the sidelines and asked Wagner, "How is Julian's condition? Is it serious?"

Wagner said solemnly, "The situation is worse than I thought. He may have injured a bone and may need to recover for a period of time. But to the extent of the seriousness, we will not be able to draw a conclusion until detailed examination!"

Hearing this, Tong Yi was very angry.

This is too

It’s serious!

Speroni is still very important to the current Crystal Palace. His injury has a huge impact on the team. But things have already happened, and Tong Yi can only admit it.

Tong Yi immediately comforted and persuaded Speroni for a while, and then Wagner called an ambulance and took Speroni to the hospital for a detailed examination.

Inside the stadium, the scene was a bit chaotic.

Obviously, Speroni's serious injury still has a great impact on the Crystal Palace people.

Bolton personnel seized the opportunity and attacked fiercely, hoping to score and take the lead.

Eagles quickly passed the football to Kevin Davis who was advancing forward. Just when Kevin Davis was about to touch the football, Van Dijk suddenly rushed in front of him and made a reasonable collision. Knocked Kevin Davis hard, then stretched out his long legs to break the football.

Nice steal!

Van Dijk performed very well this time and his judgment was also very accurate.

pretty.

Van Dijk immediately pushed the football back to Mendi in front of the goal.

Mendi was a little raw when he first came on, but his performance was still good. After stopping the ball, he quickly pushed the football to the side and sent the football out before the opponent's forward Soldale rushed up.

The football quickly rolled to the feet of Robertson on the wing.

Robertson quickly passed the football across the ball, and the football rolled towards Jedinak.

Bolton players immediately pounced on him, but Jedinak, who had just taken over Speroni's captain's armband, did not stop the ball, but leaked the ball directly to Kante behind him.

Kanter did not stop the ball and sent the football forward, and the football rolled to Pogba's feet.

Pogba immediately dribbled the ball through the midfield, and he found the opponent's midfielder rushing forward quickly.

Pogba, a master of art, boldly made a crotch pass and passed the opponent's defensive midfielder Mark Davis. He immediately took the ball and rushed towards Bolton's penalty area with great force.

Friedman on the sidelines was so anxious when he saw this.

What kind of bullshit defense is this!

Go up and intercept. Don't let this guy break through with the ball so easily. How do you defend? Friedman is really very angry. Can't you even keep an eye on this young boy?

Bolton centre-back Matt Mills had to step up.

If he doesn't step up, Pogba will take a long shot.

They all know that Pogba has the ability to shoot from long range. Friedman told them before the game, and they also watched the Crystal Palace game highlights. Pogba's long-range shooting ability is indeed very good, so he cannot be left empty-handed.

However, Matt Mills is also worried.

Because he knows very well that despite Pogba's height. also very

High, but this guy is still more flexible and faster than him. If he pounces on him like this, he is in great danger of being passed over.

Therefore, he did not rush up to steal the ball. Instead, it lay in front of Pogba, blocking Pogba's path with the ball.

The Bolton team's defenders quickly retracted to the center to fill the gap that Matt Mills saved. In this way, the two wings are actually somewhat empty, giving Mane and Zaha a lot of space.

In this game, these two young men performed very well and were very active.

Bolton's defensive players still attach great importance to it.

Even though the opponent's two full-backs have retreated to the center, their attention is actually on the two wings, ready to pounce at any time to block the two men's inward cuts.

At this moment, Pogba suddenly started to pass the ball!

But unexpectedly, Pogba did not pass to the two wings, but suddenly sent a through ball. The ball quickly hit Matt Mills' wicket and rolled quickly into the Bolton Wanderers penalty area.

Unexpectedly, the two full-backs were obviously two beats too late, and even Knight next to Murray was one beat too late. The more important thing is that Knight is tall, and his turning speed, starting speed and tracking speed are too slow compared to Murray.

Therefore, Murray rushed away from Knight in an instant and got rid of Knight's defense.

When Kankan was one position ahead of Knight, the football came to Murray's feet. Murray stopped the ball with his left foot and pushed the ball with his right foot. The football quickly passed under the crotch of the opponent's goalkeeper Bogdan and rolled quickly into the goal behind him.

too close!

Murray was too close to Bogdan, and Bogdan didn't react hastily at all.

The football rolled into Bolton's goal.

Three to two!

Crystal Palace scored in the 81st minute of the game.

It was Murray who scored the goal. This goal almost killed the suspense of the game. Now Bolton's only hope is the 20-year-old goalkeeper from Crystal Palace. They feel that this guy will definitely not be able to withstand their onslaught.

They Bolton team still have a chance!

However, the Crystal Palace people's strong high-position pressing and defense did not give the Bolton people a chance to easily face Mendi. Moreover, the Boltonians were a little too anxious and often relied on long shots to test Mendy.

In fact, the threat of these long-range shots is really not great, and they hardly test Mendi.

In the end, Bolton lost to Crystal Palace 2-3 at home.

In the end, the Boltonians lost to their own overly anxious mentality. If they could patiently organize a few attacks in the final minutes of the game, they would really have a chance to threaten the goal guarded by Edouard Mendy.

such a pity!

In the end they lost the game.
