At the beginning of the game, Ipswich, playing at home, played more proactively, but they did not attack as crazy as Millwall did before. They were indeed trying to attack, but their offense and defense were very unified and they didn't make any rash advances.

Tong Yi saw very clearly that Ipswich's offensive tactics were actually very simple and a typical British style of play.

Or the backcourt directly makes a long pass to the two high forwards on the forward line.

Either crosses from the two wingers or diagonal crosses at fourteen or five degrees to find the two high forwards in the penalty area.

Ipswich rarely use the ground in the penalty area.

Because their two centers are both tall and powerful high center forwards with rough foot skills and not particularly good at physical chores. Therefore, more people still hold high and fight high.

Ipswich's two wingers are more likely to make crosses from the bottom.

The only person in the middle who holds the ball to organize attacks and breakthroughs is their midfielder Shyam.

Shyam is very young. He is only 21 years old now. He is a player trained by Ipswich Youth Training. He has good skills with his feet, is quick and can make sudden passes and shoots. He is a very good player for Ipswich. Players to rely on.

He didn't have many chances to play last season, but since the beginning of this season, he has become the team's main force. Although he has only scored one goal now, he has already sent out 9 assists and is a good offensive player in Ipswich.

In this game, he was sorting out the offense in the midfield.

But it's obvious that he was taken care of by Kanter and Dickagakoy, and there was no chance to organize an offense at all. Because he can't organize at all, Kanter and Dickagakoy are natural restraints on him. Although Kanter is not as tall as Shyam, his physical fitness is much better than Shyam, and this is especially true for Dickagakoy.

So, initially Ipswich tried to go centrally, but failed.

Shyam was stared at and had no chance.

Instead, Crystal Palace seized the opportunity and counterattacked frantically.

One after another, Tong Xiam broke off the football at his feet and launched a quick counterattack. Unfortunately, Murray's two shots missed slightly. Otherwise, Crystal Palace would have led by two goals at this time.

The Ipswich fans at home saw how powerful Crystal Palace was.
