Legendary Godfather

Sure enough, even a team as strong as Crystal Palace starts with defense!

Bang bang bang!

The Crystal Palace fans who came from afar gave their applause to the Crystal Palace players, especially the defensive players.

Crystal Palace fans can feel how much defensive pressure the Crystal Palace defensive players put on this game.

This is not to say how good Ipswich’s strikers are.

But Ipswich's forwards and wingers are all tall and strong players, which means that in this game, Crystal Palace's defensive players faced more physical collisions. Tall and strong players like Murphy, Nubel, and Thomas rush up with huge speed and impact. If you bump into them a few times, your body will not be able to bear it, and you may even get injured!

Look, Zhang Linpeng is in this situation now.

Even if Zhang Linpeng is lucky and nothing happens this time, what if this happens two or three more times? Can you ensure that Zhang Linpeng is safe and sound every time?

Zhang Linpeng's physical fitness is still very good. He is like this, but what about Laporte who is not yet fully developed? When he faces such an impact, can he withstand it?

Moreover, Laporte's experience is not very sufficient.

Therefore, Crystal Palace fans are very worried.

When Tong Yi saw this, he was actually very worried. Seriously, centers like Murphy and Nubel should be defended by center backs like Delaney and Padraic McCarthy, who should be able to suppress these center backs.

Because they have rich experience and have been playing against this type of center since they were young, they have grown up and are very comfortable with such a center.

Unfortunately, both Padraic McCarthy and Delaney have not fully recovered from their injuries, and they are unable to play in today's game.

Therefore, this game will be difficult for Van Dijk and Laporte.

Of course, this game should be of great help to the growth of Laporte and Van Dijk.

Therefore, this is also a good opportunity for Van Dijk and Laporte to learn and accumulate experience.

Tong Yi hopes that these two guys can withstand the pressure. In this case, their self-confidence and experience and ability will be greatly improved, and perhaps they can achieve a qualitative leap.

If this is the case, there won't be much problem for these two to play in the Premier League next game.

Therefore, Tong Yi hoped that these two people could hold on today.

Of course, Tong Yi is still worried about Zhang Linpeng now.

Today, Zhang Linpeng is very important to Crystal Palace.

Because Tong Yi is very clear about Ipswich's style of play, he also knows very well that Thomas will often enter the penalty area under the cover of Murphy and Nubel and make waves in the penalty area. Therefore, before the game, Tong Yi reminded Zhang Linpeng to pay attention to Thomas's back-up play.

This time, Zhang Linpeng played a key role in defense.

If it weren't for Zhang Linpeng, this ball would be inferior to his martial arts skills

.

If this ball were replaced by someone with less physical fitness and height. It's not as good as Zhang Linpeng's right back. Even if he defends well, he can't interfere with Thomas' header.

Therefore, Zhang Linpeng is very critical.

Last season, Thomas scored 7 goals for Ipswich using this tactic.

This season he was injured in the first half of the season and missed a lot of games. After returning in the second half of the season, he did not find his form immediately, so so far, he has only scored 2 goals for the team. But these two goals were scored recently. The only goal Ipswich scored in the last round was scored by Thomas.

In other words, Thomas' recent state is recovering.

Therefore, Thomas must be strictly guarded in this game and Thomas must not be given a chance.

Although Zhang Linpeng is not as tall as Thomas, Zhang Linpeng is obviously more bumpy than Thomas. Moreover, Zhang Linpeng's air defense ability is also very good. He is a good choice to mark Thomas.

This time, it was obvious that Zhang Linpeng was at the top.

I just hope nothing happens to Zhang Linpeng!

At this time, Zhang Linpeng stood up. Although his expression still looked a little painful, it should be nothing serious. Seeing this, Tong Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

All the Crystal Palace fans at the scene gave Zhang Linpeng their applause!

Even the Crystal Palace fans at the scene chanted Zhang Linpeng's name.

It seems that some Ipswich fans applauded Zhang Linpeng. They admired and admired Zhang Linpeng's bravery.

This Chinese full-back was not afraid at all when faced with the speeding "truck". He even jumped up in front of it. He was really brave!

Zhang Linpeng conquered some Ipswich fans.

Of course, he also won Thomas' respect.

Thomas stepped forward to shake hands with Zhang Linpeng and express his condolences.

Corner kick, Ipswich got a corner kick opportunity.

Edwards sent the football into the penalty area with a curved kick. In the penalty area, Zhang Linpeng once again grabbed the point before Thomas, pushed the football out of the penalty area and made a clearance.

hiss!

Ipswich fans gasped!

How to continue this game?

Ipswich coach McCarthy on the sidelines frowned when he saw this. The Chinese full-back Zhang Linpeng gave him a headache, exceeding his expectations. If he had faced other opponents in the past, Thomas would have had an absolute advantage in facing the opponent's right back.

But today, it’s a bit uncertain!

Although this Chinese full-back was promoted

Not as tall as Thomas, but surpassing Thomas both physically and in experience. Thomas is a bit suppressed.

Dangerous, the Ipswich team is a bit dangerous in this game.

Ipswich had consecutive corner kick opportunities, but unfortunately Edwards' corner kick was taken directly by Edward. He threw the ball quickly and vigorously to launch a quick counterattack. After receiving the ball, Zaha cut inside and directly kicked the ball and volleyed the ball slightly wide.

Crystal Palace's forwards were in a bit of a bad shape today, as if they didn't have shooting boots.

This goal was not scored, what a pity!

Crystal Palace went into defense again.

To be honest, their high-pressure defense is really a bit restricted. After all, Ipswich's offense was launched directly from the backcourt with long passes, giving the Crystal Palace defenders little chance to press.

However, under the pressure of Crystal Palace, the accuracy of Ipswich's long passes is decreasing.

Therefore, the threat in the Crystal Palace penalty area is also decreasing.

However, guys like Murphy, Thomas and Nubel still caused trouble for the Crystal Palace defensive players. Van Dijk, Laporte and Zhang Linpeng also consumed a lot of energy. They were all bruised and bruised, and they couldn't bear it any longer.

They paid so much, and the effect was good, because the Ipswich people really didn't get any good opportunities.

Especially Thomas, he was really suppressed by Zhang Linpeng, and he could hardly get any advantage from Zhang Linpeng. Sure enough, this Thomas is really too young and has little experience, and he also feels a bit bully and afraid of the strong.

It was also officially because Thomas was being targeted that Ipswich's offense was no longer a threat.

Seeing this, McCarthy was really anxious!

At the end of half-time, the two sides were tied at zero to zero. But McCarthy knows very well that the situation has changed now. Ipswich is becoming more and more dangerous and is likely to concede a goal in the second half. During the halftime break, he repeatedly reminded the Ipswich players to pay attention to defense and not give the opponent a chance.

At the same time, he also inspired Thomas, telling Thomas not to be afraid of the Chinese right back of Crystal Palace and to attack Zhang Linpeng. Zhang Linpeng was actually very afraid of your attack.

Thomas kept nodding, but his expression was a little blank. I don't know if he heard it.

Why!

McCarthy could only sigh.

The match between Charlton and Cardiff City on another venue is still zero to zero. This is good news for Crystal Palace. At least the Cardiff City people do not have a home lead, which gives them a chance to win the British Championship three rounds in advance.

At the beginning of the second half, the positive Crystal Palace people took an absolute advantage.

The people of Ipswich were very oppressed.

, which made the Ipswich fans at the scene very angry, and they were also very worried.

Danger, too dangerous!

Murray suddenly responded with the football, and Pogba followed up with a blast. The football was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Rocky.

It was very dangerous, Crystal Palace almost scored.

McCarthy was very nervous and worried.

He roared wildly, signaling for the Ipswich men to attack. Fortunately, in the eleventh minute of the second half, they also launched a good attack. Thomas on the wing forced a cross and the football flew into the penalty area. Nubel in the penalty area hit the football and completed the header.

However, under the interference of Van Dijk, he went a little bit wrong.

Ipswich missed the chance to put the score over.

Crystal Palace suddenly changed their style of play here, and Pogba went to the front line. Then Laporte in the backcourt suddenly made a long pass, accurately passing the football to Pogba's head. Pogba held the opponent's 190cm tall defensive midfielder Endo, then jumped high and directly headed the ball back.

Mane, who moved forward from the wing, immediately entered the penalty area from behind the 191-meter-tall Sterman.

Stearmann's turn was too slow. By the time he turned around, Mane had already swung his leg and volleyed.

With a bang, the football flew out quickly, hit the lower edge of the crossbar of the goal, and then bounced quickly into the Ipswich goal.

Finally, Crystal Palace broke the deadlock on the court and Crystal Palace took the lead.

One to zero!

Crystal Palace opens the door to victory!

The Crystal Palace fans who came from afar were extremely excited. They jumped wildly and cheered excitedly.

It seems as if at this moment, their Crystal Palace have won the English Championship this season.

The away team's Crystal Palace fans have already started celebrating.

The score in the other stadium remained unchanged, Cardiff City still drew 0-0 with Charlton. Now Crystal Palace fans are cheering for Charlton, hoping that Charlton can score a goal and defeat Cardiff City, so that Crystal Palace can win this season's English Championship three rounds in advance.

Charltonians, come on!

The game was still at a distance, and the Ipswich people were unwilling to accept defeat. They attacked crazily and pressed across the board.

Nubel on the forward line was also replaced, and they changed their style of play.

The Ipswich people tried their best, but their offensive effect was still not ideal.

The defense line composed of Laporte, Van Dijk and Zhang Linpeng became an insurmountable gap for the Ipswich people.

On the contrary, Crystal Palace seized the opportunity of the opponent's aggressive attack. Zaha scored another goal at the end of the game. In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Ipswich 2-0 away from home and got three points.
