Legendary godfather of green grass

September 2013, 9, Valencia, Spain, Mestalla Stadium.

What is going on here today is the first round of the Europa League group stage match between the La Liga Bats and the Premier League Blue Eagles.

Before the game, almost all media reporters were optimistic about Valencia.

After all, Valencia is one of the top teams in La Liga, and its strength is very strong.

Although Valencia has entered a trough in recent years, they should not be underestimated.

Now Valencia's former star Jukic has taken over the team. Valencia fans are full of expectations for the team. They will definitely achieve good results in the Europa League this season.

And Crystal Palace is just a newly promoted Premier League.

How can the strength of Crystal Palace be comparable to Valencia?

Valencia must win this game!

Today's starters are as follows:

Home team: Valencia, head coach: Djukic, formation: 4-3-3

Goalkeeper: Guaita

Back four [from left to right]: Javi Martinez, Mathieu, Rami and Barragan

Three midfielders [from left to right]: Guardado, Barnetta and Figuri

Three forwards [from left to right]: Canales, Postiga and Federico Catabbia

Visiting team: Crystal Palace, head coach: Tong Yi, formation: 4-2-1-3

Goalkeeper: Edward

Back four [from left to right]: Robertson, Laporte, Van Dijk and Aurier

Double midfielders: Paulinho and Kanter

Single midfielder: Pogba

Three strikers [from left to right]: Salah, Lukaku and Mane

This is the starting list of both sides today. Obviously, Valencia has continued their previous tactics of flying on both wings.Moreover, his two wingers sometimes cut inwards more often, and the other two wingers will change positions frequently. It is a team that is good at attacking.

From the beginning of the game, Valencia took advantage of the home court and attacked frantically.

Obviously, they want to win Crystal Palace at their home court and get three points.

The Valencia fans at the scene are also full of confidence. They will win this game.

But Tong Yi stood quietly on the sidelines, as if he was not affected at all, and looked like he was sure of winning.

Valencia fans felt that Tong Yi was pretending.

Your Crystal Palace is about to be smashed into a sieve by us, why are you pretending to be calm?

Especially thinking of what Tong Yi said before the game, the Valencia fans became even more angry.

Tong Yi said in an interview before the game: "Valencia was indeed one of the top teams in La Liga. Zeng Jin they also competed with the two heroes of the Western Super League for the La Liga championship, and they even competed with the best teams in Europe. The team will hunt for the Champions League. However, Valencia is now in decline. Their current strength is actually not as strong as everyone imagined. We Crystal Palace should be able to win this game, and it will be relatively easy."

Fans in Valencia thought that Tong Yi had lost his mind and belittled us Valencia, damn it!

The fans of Valencia were on fire, waiting to teach Tong Yi a good lesson in this game!

Valencia let Tong Yi understand how far Tong Yi, a frog in the bottom of the well, is from their Valencia.

Then, in the 15th minute of the game, Crystal Palace midfielder Kanter directly broke the football at Barnetta's feet and immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Kanter directly sent the football to Lukaku's head in the frontcourt, and Lukaku jumped up directly, shaking his head and ferrying the ball.

Salah, who came up obliquely, cut directly up, rushed in front of Barragan, caught up with the football, and volleyed directly. The football roared out and flew straight into the upper right corner of the goal.

Guaita in front of the goal reacted quickly, but it didn't help.

The football flew into the goal without any suspense.

One to zero!

Just a quarter of an hour after the start of the game, Crystal Palace took the lead, and the faces of the Valencia fans were livid.

Tong Yi on the sidelines turned around and waved to the Valencia fans in the stands.

The fans of Valencia became even more angry and their faces became even uglier.

As a result, the Valencia fans crazily hurt Tong Yi, even cursing without venting their anger, and some people directly threw objects at Tong Yi's position.Fortunately, the security personnel at the scene responded quickly, otherwise I don't know what happened?

And Tong Yiyi stood there quietly, without any influence at all.

The commentators at the scene all secretly gave Tong Yi a thumbs up, secretly saying that it was amazing!

To be honest, Crystal Palace also performed very well in this game.

Valencia's offense is actually very powerful, especially the offense on the two wings.But when facing the Crystal Palace today, their offense was absolutely impossible.Because when Valencia faced the brutal high-position press of the Crystal Palace, they were a little at a loss.

Although the skills at the feet of the Valencians are very good, the precision of the ball control and passing at the feet is very high.But in the face of Crystal Palace's fierce and even brutal high-position press, they were really in a hurry.

In particular, the success rate of Crystal Palace's high-position press is very high, which makes Valencia even more passive.

Of course, the Valencia players also fell on the ground many times.

Because the people of Crystal Palace also frequently use tactical fouls in defense, just to prevent your offense from being able to play well and smoothly.Under such circumstances, the Valencia players will become more and more angry and impatient. This is not a good thing for Valencia.

Therefore, by this time, Crystal Palace has clearly occupied the top spot.

Because Valencia rarely encounters such a tactical team in La Liga, facing such a team, they don't know what to do?

Even their coach Jukic is a little bit at a loss as to what to do?

Therefore, from the beginning of the game to the present, Valencia has fallen into a passive state, not even threatening the Crystal Palace goal many times.This made the Valencia fans very angry. They originally had great hopes for Valencia, but now it seems that they are really wishful thinking.

This Jukic's ability is still a bit weak.

At least compared with Tong Yi, it is still much worse.

No wonder Tong Yi is so calm and calm on the sidelines. It turns out that he really has the chance to win.

Djukic knew what he should do, so he immediately came to the sidelines and yelled into the stadium, reminding the Valencia players not to panic, speed up the pace of passing and receiving, and use good passing to disintegrate The opponent's high press.

With a bang, Banega was knocked down by Kanter who rushed up again.

Shhhhhh!

Immediately, there were boos from the Valencia fans, and there was even the sound of Djukic complaining violently on the sidelines.

Is this not a card?

The referee looked directly at Kanter and gave Kanter a verbal warning, but had no intention of giving a card at all.Djukic and the Valencia fans at the scene were very dissatisfied and very angry.Damn it, whose home field is here?

Valencia's offense was restricted by Crystal Palace, and Valencia had almost no decent offense.

The Crystal Palace's offense is like a tide.

The more important thing is that the attack rate of Crystal Palace is very fast. The number of offensive passes in one attack can basically be completed with three to five passes, and the threat is still very large.

The Valencia fans at the scene were all trembling, it was very dangerous!

Just now, Crystal Palace stole the ball again in midfield, and then Pogba directly passed the ball through Valencia's defense.Mane rushed into the penalty area under the cover of Lukaku, faced the ball and pushed the far corner. The football rubbed against the post in the far corner and rolled out of the baseline. It was really a hair's breadth.

The Valencia fans were too scared to make a sound.

How dangerous!

In the first half of the game, the fans of Valencia had a very difficult time. They only got three shots in the whole first half of the game.Is this still Valencia who is good at attacking?The Valencia fans shook their heads in disbelief.Didn't Valencia shoot more than a dozen times in the La Liga game?Today, when facing Crystal Palace, there were only three shots in the first half of the game, which is abnormal.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Valencia wanted to seek a change, but they soon discovered that Crystal Palace had made an early change.Tong Yi predicted Jukic's prediction and directly strengthened the intensity of the high-position press, instantly making all the changes of the Valencians dead.

Valencia couldn't make the changes they wanted at all, so they played very awkwardly in this game.

It's not that the Valencians don't work hard, but they are very unaccustomed.

The players of Crystal Palace have made their heads big, and they don't know what to do?

And Jukic on the sidelines didn't seem to come up with a better way, so Valencia is now more passive.

In the 15th minute of the second half, Crystal Palace got a corner kick.Robertson drove the football into Valencia's penalty area with an arc. In the penalty area, Lukaku beat Rami and scored with a header. The football flew towards Valencia's goal.

The speed of the ball is very fast, like lightning.

Fortunately, Guaita reacted in time and miraculously threw the football out.

It's a pity that the football just fell at the feet of Laporte in the penalty area, and Laporte easily pushed the empty goal.

Two to zero, the Crystal Palace team in the away game expanded the score.

The Valencia fans were speechless for a moment, how can this game be played?Do we have a chance at Valencia in this game?They all shook their heads, and they couldn't believe it themselves.

Because of this game, Valencia really hasn't changed at all.

The Valencia fans turned their heads to look at Jukic on the sidelines, you have come up with something!

It's a pity that Djukic stood on the sidelines like a sculpture, without any reaction.

Valencia is becoming more and more passive on the court, it seems that the third goal may be conceded at any time. The Valencia fans see it very badly and are very worried. They hate it for a long time at this time Kiki, do you have the ability to coach?

At this moment, Crystal Palace's high-position press was successful again, and Salah directly cut off the last foot of the opponent's full-back.Then he didn't advance with the ball, but saw Mane who first slanted into the penalty area from the wing.He directly slanted his foot and sent the football to Mane's body accurately.

Looking at the incoming ball, Mane shot directly through Guaita's wicket, and the football rolled into Valencia's goal.

Three to zero!

This is also the final score!

Crystal Palace's three-goal victory over Valencia as a guest at the Mestalla Stadium broke out a big upset in the Europa League group stage.The newly promoted Premier League team actually defeated the La Liga giants, which many people did not expect before the game.

After this game, no one dared to underestimate Tong Yi and the newly promoted Premier League team Crystal Palace.

We must face them squarely, otherwise everyone will suffer.
