Chapter 916 Fight like a man!

On March 3th, the 5th round of the Premier League, the Selhurst Park Stadium in London was already full of people.

Li Liang and his teammates have finished warming up and returned to the locker room to prepare for their official appearance.

This is also the last game of this round of the Premier League.

In another focus match two days ago, Manchester City, who just beat Arsenal 3-0 in a row, continued their strong performance unsurprisingly. At the Etihad Stadium, Bernardo Silva's The goal was a 1-0 victory over the visiting Chelsea.

This victory also allowed the Blue Moon Legion to continue to maintain their precarious lead in the standings at 4 points. More importantly, this is their third game within 5 days!
Three high-intensity games against Arsenal and Chelsea, two powerful rivals, have made the outside world agree that the Blue Moon has become a well-deserved first-line powerhouse in England and Europe.

Li Liang has already noticed the subtle mentality of his teammates at the AON center. Many people think that it is impossible to catch up with Manchester City, especially after the next game against Crystal Palace, Manchester United will face Liverpool and Bayern in succession.

Mourinho encouraged the whole team again and again. He told everyone: "...We will definitely be able to move on, we can do what Manchester City can do, and we can do better than them!"

But Li Liang found that the confidence of his teammates seemed not as strong as that of Magic Bird.

……

Li Liang entered the starting lineup for the game against Crystal Palace. In order to prepare for the tough home game against Liverpool in 3 days, the Magic Birds had some reservations in the starting lineup. Except for the substitute central defender Lindelof who continued to start, the teenager McTominay entered the starting lineup again. hair lineup.

Bayern's first assistant coach Herman and youth training director Grande also appeared in the stands of Selhurst Park.

The Crystal Palace team, which lost consecutive games at the beginning of the season, has been in good momentum recently. After consecutive points grabbing, it has moved from the bottom deputy squad leader to the third from the bottom, only 1 point away from the safety line of relegation.

The game officially started, the home team with high morale faced the Red Devils without fear and launched an active fight, and the Manchester United players seemed to be slow to enter the state.

Li Liang is very clear that this is largely due to the huge pressure brought on by the upcoming two games against Liverpool and Bayern.

Li Liang, who served as the core organizer in the middle, frequently used personal breakthroughs to attack the opponent's defense line from the beginning of the game. His personal attacks created tremendous pressure on the home team when his teammates were in poor condition.

Grande whispered to Hermann: "In Munich we suffered a lot from this guy!"

Herman replied: "No...

Not entirely because of Lee—

Mourinho's new tactics completely exceeded our expectations, and this is the key to their ability to tie the score!

Of course, if they don't get Lee this season, they don't have the conditions to use new tactics. "

In the 11th minute of the game, the Manchester United defense paid a heavy price for their lack of concentration!

Crystal Palace midfielder Milivojevic instigated an attack in the middle of the frontcourt. He sent a diagonal pass in time, and the strong Belgian center Benkett got the ball from the left side of the penalty area and cut inside!

Benteke suddenly faced Smalling's marking and continued to shake on the edge of the penalty area, then suddenly crossed the middle. Former Tottenham player Townsend inserted his left foot from the other side and pushed the ball!
The ball hit Lindelof, who was too late to dodge, and was refracted. De Gea had no time to react and had to watch the ball go straight to the dead corner!
The audience roared with thunderous applause!Crystal Palace was lucky to open the scoring, leading Manchester United 1-0!

After conceding the goal, Manchester United immediately launched a fierce attack, and under the leadership of Li Liang, they quickly turned away and formed a siege.

Herman shook his head: "Where did Manchester United's offensive efficiency go?

Do they want to rely on Lee alone to win the game? ! "

Pogba and Li Liang got good chances to score one after another. During this period, Crystal Palace played a beautiful counterattack. Townsend's shot tested De Gea again, and the Red Devils almost fell again!

The magic bird on the sidelines looked increasingly ugly. At the end of halftime, Manchester United, which had a statistical advantage, was still behind 0:1.

In the locker room of the visiting team, he and Faria went into a rage, trying to wake up the players. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, captain Valencia and Li Liang, who entered the substitute list, also tried their best to cheer up their teammates.

After the start of the second half, the two Bayern coaches in the stands were taken aback. Herman said in surprise: "This is the real Manchester United!"

The Red Devils suppressed their opponents for a long time and couldn't even pass the halftime. Under Li Liang's organization, the team's offense took on a new look and played an offensive like mercury pouring down the ground. It seemed that they were only one step away from scoring!
However, luck did not seem to be on Manchester United's side today.

In the 55th minute of the game, Crystal Palace left back Van Aanholt passed Benteke diagonally from the left. After confronting Matic, the Belgian center went to the end. The referee whistled for Manchester United to foul.

When Matic and Valencia were still questioning the penalty, the home team's midfielder Schlupp took advantage of the rules and quickly sent a free kick!
In the roar of the magic bird, only two central defenders Smalling and Lindelof reacted, but it was too late——

Van Aanholt, who had been plugged in near the penalty area, got the ball from the left and broke into the penalty area at high speed, easily forming a single-handed shot and then facing De Gea with a left-footed push into the net at a close angle!

The entire stadium roared like a tsunami, and the Red Devils players looked at a loss on the field!
Crystal Palace, which was extremely passive in the second half, scored another goal unexpectedly, 2:0!

"Looks like they're on the brink!" Grande sighed.

Herman said calmly: "I can only think that they are trying to preserve their strength against Liverpool and us...

But if the price has already been lost, the loss would be too great! "

The magic bird on the sidelines was furious and kept roaring at the field, and Faria covered his face with his hands and sighed in frustration.

Ibrahimovic cursed loudly on the bench, his thighs were stunned, Martial, Mata and others frowned.

Li Liang was so anxious that he clapped desperately and yelled at his teammates: "Guys, we can't just lose like this!"

Holding a two-goal lead, Crystal Palace completely reclaimed the halftime and set up the bus. Although Li Liang was still trying his best to organize the offensive, the other teammates became more and more impatient, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

Li Liang finally erupted after Pogba's aimless long-range shot, yelling at the Frenchman: "What the fuck are you doing?!

Wake up Paul, we must not lose the game here, we still have time! "

Pogba spread his arms: "What else do you want from me?!"

Li Liang grabbed Pogba's sleeve, gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you can fight like a man!
Instead of continuing to escape! "

The referee blows his whistle and Manchester United make a substitution.

In the 65th minute, Thigh and Mata played at the same time, replacing the poor McTominay and Valencia respectively.

Grande exclaimed: "Two attackers for two defenders!
This is less and less like Mourinho's style! "
