You see, Crystal Palace says it doesn't care about Manchester City and wants to win this game anyway, which means it is a bit contemptuous of Manchester City.But their ranking and formation already illustrate the problem.If Manchester City is not taken seriously, will Crystal Palace play with all its main players?

It can be seen that Tong Yi doesn't mean what he says. This game is about going all out to kill Manchester City.

Seeing this starting lineup, Crystal Palace fans were instantly relieved.

Manchester City had no chance at all.

"The starting lineup of Crystal Palace speaks for itself. They play with all their main players and they must attach great importance to this game. Therefore, Manchester City's game is almost out of the question. If Crystal Palace really does not pay attention to this game Manchester City still has a little chance! Now...congratulations to Crystal Palace for advancing to the semi-finals of the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League!" Shearer said plausibly.

Then, hope

Le was trolled again by Manchester City fans.

Henry said: "That's true. Although Crystal Palace says we don't care about Manchester City, in fact we still care about it. Otherwise, will all the main players play? And it will be all the main players after a break. In this game, Manchester City It’s really quite suspenseful.”

Henry was also sprayed by Manchester City fans, sprayed very hard.

But Henry didn't care because he was telling the truth.

Mortensen said at this time: "This game is indeed very difficult for Manchester City. Crystal Palace will play with all its main players. Manchester City may be able to defeat Crystal Palace with explosive strength, but if they want to reverse Crystal Palace and advance to the final four, This is almost impossible!"

Henry nodded slightly, agreeing very much.

But Shearer shook his head slightly. He disagreed. In his opinion, it was definitely impossible for Manchester City to defeat Crystal Palace in this game.

Don’t even look at Crystal Palace’s starting lineup!

With the starting lineup of Crystal Palace, your Manchester City team can't win at all.

At this moment, the referee of this game, Antonio Mateu, blew the whistle to start the game.

Looking at the Spanish national whistle with a very receding hairline in front of him, Tong Yi had reminded the Crystal Palace players early on that this game can be bigger and more intense when confronting the opponent. Don't fear.

Because the main referee's law enforcement characteristic is to encourage physical confrontation, the scale of whistleblowing is very loose.

He has been among the bottom five players in La Liga all year round.

It is precisely because of this that he was also Mourinho's favorite referee in La Liga.

So, this match

The Crystal Palace side can definitely increase the intensity of the Manchester City team.

Guardiola is also a Spaniard who came from La Liga. He also knows the referee's law enforcement characteristics very well.Therefore, Crystal Palace must make good decisions here, otherwise the Manchester City people will take advantage.

The Crystal Palace players understood this a long time ago, so as soon as the game started, the Crystal Palace players increased the intensity of the Manchester City players.

But everyone soon discovered that the Manchester City players were also very active.

Therefore, the two sides fell into an anxious match from the beginning of this game.

The players on both sides were overwhelmed.

However, Manchester City still cares more about possession of the ball, and their lineup is more forward-less, with a lot of players hoarding in the midfield. Even in the face of Crystal Palace's crazy high pressure, their possession of the ball is still very good. Yes, it is difficult for Crystal Palace to stop the football from the feet of Manchester City players.

Tong Yi frowned slightly. He could feel that the Manchester City players were in good condition in this game.

It seems that the game against Manchester United on the weekend did not excessively consume their physical energy, but instead allowed them to enter a high-level and high-tempo game state in advance.

Therefore, after the game started, Manchester City actually played well and played more calmly.

Tong Yi frowned slightly and immediately walked out, making gestures to the Crystal Palace players.

Tong Yi was signaling to the Crystal Palace players that they could make bigger moves.

During this opening period, everyone also saw clearly Mateu's law enforcement style, which is indeed very loose.

At this moment, after Manchester City passed the ball continuously,

, Silva in the midfield suddenly ran forward with the ball at high speed, got through the gap between the people, attracted the fire of the defensive player, and he immediately passed the ball quickly to the feet of Bernardo Silva with a diagonal kick. .

Yes, Silva has played for you today, especially with so many players in the midfield and frontcourt who have excellent footwork and strong ball control ability. It is obvious that he wants to launch an attack through control and threaten Crystal Palace. goal.

In this lineup, Jesus' position has shrunk significantly.

Therefore, Manchester City plays like a striker-less formation.

At this time, Jesus immediately pulled back, attracting the attention of the Crystal Palace defensive players.Therefore, there is space for Bernardo on the wing.David Silva passed the football diagonally right away. The football route was chosen very cleverly and it soared through the gap in the crowd.

The fans at the scene were very excited to watch.

This is why Guardiola started David Silva.

The ball was passed so well that Bernardo easily caught the ball and went straight into the Crystal Palace penalty area, facing Crystal Palace goalkeeper Maignan.

The Manchester City fans at the scene were all excited. This is an excellent opportunity.

However, Maignan blocked the near corner and blocked Bernardo's shooting route.

At the same time, Maignan also signaled the defensive players in the center to pay attention to intercepting Bernardo's passing line and not to let Bernardo cross the ball.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Bernardo immediately swung his leg to fake a shot and passed the ball directly, knocking the football back.

Yes, Bernardo did not pass the football across the middle to follow up with Sane, but directly passed it back

Gave it to Goretzka who followed.

Goretzka rushed up and kept shooting the ball with his legs.

Goretzka lined up his bow and arrow, hit the football with a fierce kick, and the football deformed instantly, and then shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.

The speed of the ball was like a bolt of lightning, and the Manchester City fans at the scene became enthusiastic.

There is no doubt that this goal will be scored!

Maignan in front of the goal did not expect Bernardo to pass the ball like this, but he adjusted quickly, immediately took a step laterally, and then quickly pounced out, quickly sealing the upper right corner of the goal.

With a snap, Maignan's palm hit the football.

The Manchester City fans at the scene wailed, what a great opportunity this was, why was it blocked?

The Crystal Palace fans also breathed a sigh of relief. Maignan is indeed our god.

But the next moment, the faces of the people in the Crystal Palace became frightened, because it was dangerous!

The football that was thrown out actually flew directly to Jesus who rushed in behind.

Tong Yi couldn't help but stretch his neck. This ball was indeed very dangerous.Because Van Dijk has already gone to take care of Sane, and Rudiger had gone out to defend Jesus, but now he is left behind by Jesus.

Danger, the Crystal Palace is in danger!

There was a bang, and Jesus, who followed, didn't care about 21 and immediately swung his legs towards the football.

The football shot quickly towards the lower left corner of the Crystal Palace goal.

Even if there were Octopus on Maignan's side in front of the goal, they had absolutely no choice.

Maignan could only watch as the football shot into the Crystal Palace goal.

The commentators were stunned for a moment, and then Mortensen

Howling excitedly: "The ball is in! The ball is in! Less than 10 minutes into the first half, Manchester City, who are playing at home, scored and took the lead against Crystal Palace. This will not really be the beginning of a miracle. Right? Less than 10 minutes into the game, Manchester City reduced their disadvantage to two goals. There are still 80 minutes left. It doesn’t seem difficult to score two goals, right?"

After saying that, Mortensen couldn't help but turn his head and look at Hiller, his eyes full of disbelief.

Shearer also frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "This goal is not a problem on the Crystal Palace side. Their defense is actually pretty good. There is no big problem. It can only be said that Manchester City is very strong." , with this goal, Manchester City created a good opportunity, and the Manchester City people were lucky. After the ball was saved, it happened to fall at the feet of Jesus. If it had not been lucky enough to bounce to the feet of Jesus, the ball would have also scored. No! Of course, this is also a reflection of the strength of Manchester City. Manchester City is not a weak team!"

At this time, the Manchester City fans were very excited and cheered excitedly.

This was such an unexpected surprise. They really didn't expect that the goal would come so suddenly and so early. They were really so happy and cheered excitedly.Of course, at this time, they did not forget to ridicule the Crystal Palace people. Are trash like you worthy of beating our Manchester City team?Today our Manchester City team will teach you how to behave.

Look, how our Manchester City team beat you to pieces today.

The Manchester City fans went crazy at this time, very excited and excited, and mocked the Crystal Palace people fiercely.

and advance

Jesus, who was playing the ball, was also very excited. He even rushed out and did a front flip to celebrate.

He even almost sprained his foot doing a front somersault.

This makes the hearts of Manchester City fans pound. It's really suspenseful.If Jesus gets injured because of this at this time, it will be a big loss.Fortunately, this guy reacted well and fell down onto the turf and rolled over. Only then did he release his force and no accidental injuries were caused.

This almost frightened the Manchester City fans at the scene.

Arteta, who was on the sidelines, rushed out immediately and spat at Jesus. His spittle flew everywhere, and Jesus was stunned for a moment.

Arteta is really afraid that Jesus will be injured.

If this is injured, it will have a huge impact on the Manchester City team.

Henry immediately said: "This start is really something we didn't expect. Manchester City's condition today is very good. Now that they have scored so early, this really gives them a good opportunity to create miracles. It’s hard to say that Manchester City people really want to bring back the miracle of Riasso in this game!”

Hearing this, the Manchester City fans were very excited and excited, and they all jumped up.

Did you see that our Manchester City team will definitely create a miracle in this game, defeat your Crystal Palace and advance to the semi-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League?

Damn Crystal Palace, you are finished!

Jesus, who scored the goal, was rushed over by the excited Manchester City players and fell to the turf. This made Arteta on the sidelines and Guardiola in the stands nervous.

already.They are really afraid that Jesus will be injured because of celebrating the goal. If this is the case, their Manchester City team will die unjustly.

But this goal is indeed worth celebrating, it boosts morale.This also gives Manchester City people confidence that our Manchester City team is capable of creating the Etihad miracle that belongs to our Manchester City team.Today, we will reverse Crystal Palace at our home court, win, and reach the semi-finals of the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League!
