Legendary godfather of green grass

On March 2014, 3, South London, England, Selhurst Park Stadium, the weather was fine.

What is going on here today is the 2013nd round of the 2014-32 Premier League season. The opposing sides are Crystal Palace and Chelsea. The starting lists of both sides are as follows:

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

Goalkeeper: Edward

Back four [from left to right]: Robertson, Carvalho, Van Dijk and Zhang Linpeng

Double midfielders: Paulinho and Kanter

Single midfielder: Pogba

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

Away team: Chelsea, manager: Jose Mourinho, formation: 4-2-3-1

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Back four [left to right]: Ivanovic, Terry, Gary Cahill and Azpilicueta

Double midfielder: David Luiz and Matic

Three midfielders [from left to right]: Hazard, Oscar and Schurrle

Solo striker: Eto'o

As far as Chelsea's lineup is concerned, at first glance it is a defensive counterattack tactic, and it is indeed Mourinho.

beep!

The referee blows his whistle and the game begins.

Chelsea's tactic is defensive counterattack. Almost all players are backlogged near their own big penalty area. Even Eto'o has not crossed the half-court and is at the top of the circle in his own half.

And Crystal Palace's high-position pressing tactics naturally flooded into Chelsea's half from the beginning.

The two sides fought in Chelsea's half.

The pressing actions of both sides are actually very big, so there are often scenes of people turning their backs on their backs in the stadium.

The referee of the game, Anthony Taylor, was very nervous, and his eyes were fixed on these players.

He knew that there must be a lot of fouls in this game.

Therefore, he must control the scale of the game well, not make the game very fragmented, and ensure a certain degree of fluency.Therefore, his penalty scale for this field game should be a little looser, otherwise, there is really no way to watch this game.

Mourinho's defensive moves of Chelsea are very big. After all, many managers use the word "dirty" to describe Mourinho's defense, and "bus" to describe Mourinho's defensive tactics.

At this moment, the Crystal Palace suddenly made a joint grab and instantly broke the football at Matic's feet.

Matic turned his back on his back and immediately raised his hand, indicating that Pogba had fouled.

This guy Pogba kicked his footing on the list and didn't touch football at all.

This is a 100% foul!

However, to Matic's surprise, Taylor didn't mean to call a foul.Instead, he quickly ran over from him and ran to the front of Chelsea's penalty area.

Matic was stunned for a moment!

He got up, rushed to Taylor quickly, and yelled at Taylor frantically: "Foul! Crystal Palace has fouled!"

Taylor ignored him at all, but looked towards the frontcourt.

Chelsea's David Luiz immediately rushed up from the side to grab, the movement was very big, it was like rushing.

Obviously, Luis came to vent his anger on Matic.

Unexpectedly, when Louis rushed in front of Pogba, Pogba had already crossed the football to the full-back Robertson who was put on.The two full-backs of Crystal Palace have a very large assist range, and they occupy a very important low position in Crystal Palace's tactics.

No, Robertson is up again!

Robertson is about to speed up the bottom with the ball.

Beep!

The referee blew the whistle directly, rushed to Luis quickly, and showed Luis a yellow card, warning!

foul!

Louis fouled!

Louis was very wronged. He immediately turned around and stared at Taylor facelessly with both hands, and said in surprise, "Why did I foul? Mr. Referee, you..."

Taylor immediately interrupted Luis with his hand, and motioned for Luis to back out quickly, otherwise he would show a second yellow card.

Louis is very angry, furious!

If he hadn't been pulled away by his teammates, Louis might have received a second yellow card immediately.

The other Chelsea players surrounded the referee Taylor, asking for an explanation.

The most excited was Matic, who almost roared at Taylor: "Why does Pogba kick me down, it is not a foul. And David kicking Pogba is a foul? The same action, why one foul, the other A non-foul? Is it because we are Chelsea? Is it because we are away for this game?"

The other Chelsea players were also very excited and angry when they heard this.

Taylor glanced at Matic lightly, and said: "So, do you admit that Louis is a revenge foul? Retaliation fouls require a red card!"

Forehead!

Matic and others were instantly stuck in the neck, and their faces were flushed!

Terry immediately came up, pulled Taylor away, and signaled his teammates to retreat quickly, otherwise Chelsea would have a problem!

Of course, Lewis' foul move was actually quite obvious.

Pogba had already passed the football, and Louis kicked Pogba from behind. There is no problem with a foul.

Even this is a retaliatory foul, and Louis is helping his teammates get ahead.

There's nothing wrong with him getting a yellow card.

What Chelsea people are upset about is that Taylor does not treat everyone equally.

Mourinho on the sidelines was also very angry and spitting wildly at the fourth official. The fourth official's face was full of Mourinho's spittle.

Obviously, Mourinho was verbally warned by the referee.

On the other side, Tong Yi was very calm.

He had expected this situation a long time ago. There would be a lot of fouls in this game, and there would be a lot of controversy because of it.Calm down, all calm down!

Don't expect accidental attrition!

That would be worth the candle!

clap clap clap!

Tong Yi applauded and gave the applause to the players of Crystal Palace, signaling them to put more attention on the game and not to compete with these guys from Chelsea.Scoring goals and winning the game is the last word, and there is no point in getting angry with the opponent.

The Crystal Palace people got a direct free kick in the frontcourt!

The ball was nearly 30 meters away from the goal, whether it was far or close, but at least it was within range.

This is a good opportunity for Crystal Palace.

For such a stalemate game, the set kick is actually an excellent opportunity to score a goal!

The Crystal Palace people still value this set ball more.

"The position of the ball is not bad, but the distance is a little far. You have to know that Petr Cech is standing in front of Chelsea's goal. There is basically no chance for this free kick!" Mortensen said.

Hiller also nodded slightly, expressing his approval.

Cech is a very good goalkeeper. It is almost impossible to break the goal guarded by such a direct free kick from such a distance.

And the Chelsea players don't think that the Crystal Palace people dare to shoot directly. We have Petr Cech in front of the goal!

Of course, when defending, the Chelsea people are still very active and serious.

They are still blocking the angle of the Crystal Palace's direct shot.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens!

Never give the Crystal Palace people any chance.

On the Crystal Palace side, standing in front of the football is Paulinho.

Only Paulinho stood in front of the football alone, and the ball didn't look like it was going to be shot directly.

Instead, Crystal Palace's center Lukaku was very restless in the penalty area, changing positions back and forth, trying to get rid of Terry's defense.Even Crystal Palace's central defender Van Dijk flooded into Chelsea's penalty area.At first glance, these two people are ready to catch the ball and head the ball.

This should be a pass.

Tong Yi sat quietly on the sidelines, staring at Paulinho in front of the football.

beep!

At this moment, the referee blew the whistle for a free throw.

Paulinho in front of the football rushed out quickly, came to the football, stepped on the side of the football with his left corner, swung his right foot fiercely, and slammed his foot towards the football.

Boom!

With a loud noise, Paulinho's right foot hit the football hard, and the football instantly deformed under his feet, as if it was about to be kicked and exploded.

With a whoosh, the football shot out rapidly.

The ball is fast, like a shooting star.

shoot!

This guy Paulinho actually shot directly!

Chelsea fans and defenders were surprised.But Chelsea's defensive players are not afraid at all. The goal should not be scored. They defended very well. It is impossible for Paulinho to make a successful attack.

Chelsea's human wall jumped up quickly, full of confidence!

With a bang, the football slammed into the body of Louis who was sideways blocking the football in the wall, then changed direction rapidly, and shot towards the upper right corner of the goal.

Cech in front of the goal was already ready to make a save, and he was confident to save the football.

Unexpectedly, the ball suddenly changed direction.

Looking at the arc of the ball changing direction, Cech had no choice but to watch the football shoot rapidly towards the upper right corner of the goal.

The faces of all the Chelsea fans in the audience changed and became very ugly.

And Cech and others were praying, praying that the ball went above the goal and flew out of the baseline.

clang!

The football hit the bottom edge of the goal post and crossbar hard, then bounced quickly into Chelsea's goal.

The ball is in!

The fans of Crystal Palace jumped up excitedly and waved their arms excitedly.

What a surprise!

Originally, the fans of Crystal Palace did not have much confidence in this direct free kick.Who knew that the ball actually went in!

Unexpected joy!

The fans of Crystal Palace are almost crazy with excitement!

"Paulinho! Paulinho from Brazil, his heavy bomber opened Chelsea's goal! This goal is really too powerful, it is so powerful. It is too powerful. I really didn't expect Paulinho to return It's really amazing to have such a skill!" Mortensen was very surprised and roared excitedly.

This ball looks very visually impactful.

The flying football is like a fired shell!

Paulinho's violent long-range shot is really a reappearance of his predecessor Roberto Carlos' heavy free kick.

It's amazing!

On the sidelines, Tong Yi also jumped up, applauded excitedly, and gave the applause to Paulinho.

He knew that Paulinho had such a long-distance direct free kick with a heavy artillery, but he actually didn't have too much expectation for this ball.

Who knew that the ball actually went in!

Surprise!

What a surprise!

Just 7 minutes into the first half of the game, Crystal Palace, who were playing at home, broke through Chelsea's goal and took the lead.This time, the problem is thrown to Mourinho and Chelsea. Are you going to continue to defend, or are you going to attack?

How to do?

Chelsea people, what do you do?
