Legendary Godfather

Today's game is the first game of Crystal Palace's return to the Premier League, and it is also the first Premier League game of Tong Yi's career. This is naturally very attractive, attracting many people to come to watch this game.

Live camera footage even captured Sir Alex Ferguson sitting in front of Selhurst Park.

This surprised everyone.

Ferguson did not appear at Old Trafford yesterday, but now he has appeared at Selhurst Park for the first time.

This is really unexpected.

Is Tong Yi's matter more important than Moyes or Manchester United in Ferguson's eyes?

In addition to Ferguson, Beckham and other football celebrities were sitting in the stands. It seemed that they were in a group with Sir Alex Ferguson.

Boom!

In the stadium, Lennon on the wing saw Soldado advancing from the center and passed directly at a 45-degree angle.

The football whizzed straight into the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Danger!

The Tottenham Hotspur fans who came from afar stretched their heads forward excitedly, staring closely at the football flying in the stadium. The football flew straight towards Sol. On Dado's head.

The ball is there!

Soldado saw the ball coming and was ready to head the ball.

Boom!

But at this moment, Cavalu suddenly got stuck in front of Soldado, pushed the football over the bottom line, and successfully made a clearance.

hiss!

Everyone at the scene was shocked!

This guy Carvalho appeared too timely. He directly blocked Soldado behind him at the critical moment, and then headed the ball to clear the ball. If Carvalho was a little slower, this ball would be very dangerous for Crystal Palace.

Bang bang bang!

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene gave their applause to the veteran Carvalho.

"Wow, with his incredible defensive timing and excellent blocking ability, this is still the Carvalho we are familiar with. Although he is now 35 years old, his strength does not seem to have declined significantly, at least in This time the defense is like this!" Mortensen was a little surprised, surprised by Carvalho's performance.

"Indeed, Carvalho's defense really left a deep impression on us. Of course, we did not expect that Carvalho would be able to get the starting position in Crystal Palace. David was really too bold, Carvalho was Can Valho's grade and physical fitness support him to complete a normal game? I think it's still a bit uncertain!" Shearer also said in surprise.

However, it is obvious that he is still not very optimistic about Carvalho.

Carvalho is indeed too old. In a high-intensity and high-tempo game like the Premier League, it will be difficult for him to maintain a normal game, right?

And Tottenham Hotspur will definitely attack him at this point.

Look at the attack just now, Soldado obviously moved towards Carvalho on his own initiative, obviously targeting Carvalho. They also firmly believe that under the high-intensity and high-tempo competition, it will not take long to attack Carvalho in turn.

In time, Carvalho's physical fitness will reach its bottom, and Carvalho's defense will have problems.

It can be seen that Boas has really studied the Crystal Palace thoroughly.

Having said that, Villas-Boas is a pretty good coach. He almost won the Triple Crown in Porto.

And he should be very familiar with Tong Yi.

Because they have played against each other in the Europa League final, Villas-Boas should have a deep understanding of Tong Yi's tactics. Therefore, he should have a special focus on this game.

Perhaps in Boas's view, Carvalho is the most obvious weakness of this Crystal Palace team, so they will seize Carvalho's point and launch a crazy attack.

Soldado had no expression on his face, turned around and walked to the back of the penalty area, preparing to attack.

Carvalho immediately turned around and followed up, sticking closely to Soldado. It was obvious that he was here to defend Tottenham Hotspur's main center today.

Corner kick!

Lennon stood in the corner and glanced into the penalty area. He raised his right hand high and raised three fingers, reminding his teammates in the penalty area that this was their No. 3 corner kick tactic.

In the penalty area, Tottenham Hotspur players understood the situation clearly and were all preparing to launch an attack.

beep!

The referee blew his whistle, and Lennon rushed out from the corner, then kicked the football hard.

With a bang, the football flew out quickly, drawing a wonderful arc.

"Back point!" Suddenly Edward roared loudly in the penalty area, and at the same time, he quickly moved towards the back point of the penalty area.

The Crystal Palace players in the penalty area also rushed towards the back of the penalty area nervously.

Soldado, who was at the back of the penalty area, immediately rushed forward and was ready to take off.

But just as he rushed up, a wall stood directly in front of him, and Soldado frowned.

Soldado gritted his teeth, pushed forward, and then rushed over quickly.

Toot toot!

The referee blew the whistle directly, indicating that Tottenham Hotspur forward Soldado committed a pushing foul.

"Wow, that's really good! Carvalho once again blocked Tottenham's Spanish forward in a key position. It was really amazing. He is still top-notch in blocking defense. Ah! More importantly, his defensive position selection and grasp of defensive timing are really perfect. Hiss, it’s amazing. Now I finally know why Tong Yi fought against all the opinions to introduce Carvalho. He It’s indeed amazing!” Mortensen said in surprise.

To be honest, Carvalho's performance exceeded his expectations.

In fact, Carvalho's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.

Everyone thought that the 35-year-old Carvalho's ability and body should have declined to the point where he could no longer watch, but who knew

It's really amazing that he can still maintain such a good condition now.

"Of course, Carvalho is really old, and I don't think he can continue to play normally. Now he can indeed have some advantages, but as the game progresses, his control will become weaker and weaker, and even It will become a big colander for Crystal Palace's defense later on. This is a potential threat to Crystal Palace!" Shearer said.

This is why Boas is not worried at all at this time and is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

In their opinion, Carvalho could not maintain such a state for the whole game, and he even failed in the second half of the game. In the first half of the game, they attacked Carvalho like crazy and consumed all of Carvalho's energy. In the second half of the game, it was time for them to reap the rewards.

Not five minutes later, Tottenham's offense struck again.

This time, they had already played the football to Carvalho's defense and sent the football directly to Soldado's feet.

After holding the ball, Soldado immediately rushed towards Cava Road with the ball.

Soldado wanted to use his speed and skills to break through Carvalho, tear apart Crystal Palace's defense, and score a goal.

Soldado is very confident in his ability.

But Carvalho, as a deep-lying central defender, is not worried at all.

Carvalho's frontal defensive ability is still very good, especially his single defense success rate against technical forwards is still very high. Therefore, Carvalho is really not worried at all.

Carvalho's eyes were fixed on Soldado's feet, staring at the football, looking for an opportunity.

At this moment, Soldado suddenly made a cross pass and passed the football to the feet of Shadley who came in diagonally.

Unexpectedly, he made a sound in the east and struck in the west.

This was beyond the expectations of everyone present. They all thought that Soldado was going to challenge Carvalho.

Many people at the scene did not react.

But Shadley, who followed up, reacted quickly. As soon as he rushed up, he hit the football with his leg and hit the goal with a heavy kick on the line of the penalty area.

With a bang, the football immediately flew towards the Crystal Palace goal like a cannonball.

The Tottenham Hotspur fans screamed with excitement, the ball was there!

Boom!

The football that just flew out was directly blocked by the flying leg of the Crystal Palace center back Van Dijk.

hiss!

Everyone was shocked!

None of them expected that Van Dijk would react so quickly. Did he expect that Soldado would pass the ball? When Shadley rushed in front of the football, he was already in place on defense, and then the defense behind him fell into place.

hiss!

This Van Dijk is also very good at grasping defensive timing and defensive choices.

This defense is very powerful.

Bang bang bang!

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene immediately gave Van Dijk applause. The young man's performance really made them very satisfied and very happy. It seems that their head coach Tong Yi's vision is correct. Van Dijk is also a genius. As long as you give him some time, Van Dijk will definitely surprise the entire Premier League.

Corner kick, Tottenham continued to get corner kick opportunities.

Lennon appeared in the corner again, his eyes just staring into the penalty area.

Then, with a quick start, he kicked the football flatly to the front point of the penalty area.

Soldado rushed up quickly and swept the football towards the goal with a swing of his legs.

With a bang, Soldado directly missed the football due to Carvalho's interference, and the football focused hard on the side net of the goal. Tottenham Hotspur fans are very sorry, they all feel very sorry, this goal should have been there.

pity.

From the beginning of the game to now, Tottenham Hotspur's offense has been very sharp. This makes the Tottenham fans who came from afar very happy. They feel that if this continues, they will definitely win this game.

Tottenham fans came from afar to cheer the team crazily, and they firmly believed that they would be able to score next time.

At this moment, Edward drove towards the frontcourt with a big kick.

Lukaku in the frontcourt directly carried Jedinak beside him and jumped up high. With a flick of his head, he passed the football directly to Salah who was advancing from the wing.

This is also Salah's first league game on behalf of Crystal Palace. The fans and reporters at the scene are full of interest in Salah, and they all want to see how powerful this genius Tong Yi is interested in?

This guy performed very well in the Swiss Super League last season, posting a double-double.

Now football flies to the young Salah, and Walker takes it very seriously and seriously.

Although others may underestimate Salah, Walker will not!

Because Walker had played under Tong Yi for several years, he knew Tong Yi very well. The young players that Tong Yi likes are definitely very good, so he attaches great importance to them and does not dare to neglect them at all.

Even though it looked like it was a half-goal, Walker didn't rush to grab it.

To be honest, Salah was also a little surprised.

He had already thought about it. When Walker rushed up, he would stab the football out immediately and pass it by one person. But Walker was as steady as an old man and didn't lay out at all. Therefore, Salah had to give up this idea and prepare to stop the football.

Walker immediately lowered his center and was ready to pounce to intercept.

But at this moment, Salah took a look at Mane who was quickly moving forward in the space on the other side!

Chance!

Before the football could land, Salah suddenly swiped the football and quickly passed the football diagonally to the back of the penalty area.

Mane, who rushed up, was empty!
