179: Crystal Palace secured victory in the final ahead of schedule
Mourinho on the sidelines was a little dissatisfied with the team's defense this time, especially the defense on the wings.
How reckless!
Felipe Luis on the wing is really too reckless.
If it weren't for him, Chelsea would not have made such big mistakes and gaps in this game.
Mourinho is very angry!
Chelsea didn't practice like this before.
Mourinho hadn't made any move here yet. Luis on the sidelines immediately raised his hand to indicate that the ball was his fault. He took it for granted, thinking that he could destroy the football first, and he was a little reckless, which led to the loss of the ball. This is all his fault, he admits it.
Seeing this, Mourinho can't criticize anymore?
However, he still said to Louis, "The more you defend, be more solid and don't be easily fooled."
Yes, in Mourinho's view, Luis was fooled.
Lewis immediately nodded to show his understanding.
One to zero, Crystal Palace took the lead. The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were naturally very excited and very happy. They all felt that Crystal Palace must win this game.
However, Tong Yi on the sidelines was not as optimistic as they were.
To be honest, this game will be very difficult.
Don't underestimate Chelsea, Chelsea is very strong.
Sure enough, after the game restarted, although Chelsea was still in a state of defensive counterattack, their offense was still very thin and threatened the Crystal Palace goal.
Obviously, after losing the ball, Chelsea stepped up their offense.
Chelsea people are obviously more adventurous.
This still has a great impact on Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace's oppression has become more active and fierce.
But at this time, Hazard on the wing got rid of the defense and cut inside directly with the ball.
Crystal Palace's defensive players immediately moved in, not allowing Hazard to break through or give Hazard a chance to pass the ball.
Even in the penalty area, the Crystal Palace players followed Costa closely, and at the same time they were optimistic about the position near the penalty spot, and did not give Hazard a chance to pass the ball in an inverted triangle.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Hazard actually used his breakthrough to dodge Carvajal and create an opportunity.
As soon as Carvajal was shaken away, Hazard shot directly with his legs.
The football shot towards the lower right corner of the goal very fast.
The Chelsea fans at the scene were very excited and excited, and many of them were even blushing and thick-necked.
But when the football was about to fly into the goal, the football was saved directly from the bottom line by Edward who jumped out from the side.
Edward really reacted too quickly, killing the Chelsea people's dream in an instant.
oops!
The Chelsea man sighed crazily, mentally blaming Edward crazily.
bang bang bang
, Tong Yi gave Edward the applause.
Edward is really good. He helped Crystal Palace score a lot more points.
Corner kick, Chelsea got a corner kick opportunity.
Hazard drove the football out quickly, and then Luis on the wing drove the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area with a direct arc. In the penalty area, Costa jumped up high, preparing to beat Laporte for a header.
With a bang, the football was pushed out of the penalty area by Laporte!
Nice defense!
Even Shearer has to give Laporte a thumbs up. This defense is really good.
However, the determined football came directly in front of the rushing Fabregas. Fabregas directly swung his legs and volleyed hard, and the football quickly shot towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Unfortunately, the ball went slightly over the crossbar and Chelsea missed the opportunity.
Mourinho on the sidelines was very upset.
This ball was really threatening, but it was a pity that their luck was a little off, and it was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Crystal Palace's defense has already had problems with this ball. It's a pity, it's really a pity.
However, Chelsea people see hope here. They feel that Crystal Palace's defense is nothing more than this!
With a bang, there was another long pass, and Edward drove the football directly to Ignacio's head.
Zuma jumped up to interfere, but he did not hit the football. The football was thrown to the side by Ignacio.
Salah on the wing suddenly passed the football back, and the football quickly rolled towards Robertson who was coming up.
Robertson saw Salah turn quickly and rush towards the opponent's baseline.
He immediately swung his legs and made a long diagonal pass with his big foot, directly transferring the football to Mane who was advancing on the other side.
Yes, Robertson found Mane with an accurate long pass and also stunned Chelsea's defensive players. Chelsea's defensive players almost all thought that this guy was going to pass the football to Salah who was advancing forward. Little did they know that Salah was also a pretense.
After Mane on the wing received the ball, he immediately kicked and crossed.
Terry and Zuma immediately guarded Ignacio in the middle.
However, everyone discovered that Mane did not pass the football to Ignacio on the first line at all, but directly passed it to the second line behind them.
De Bruyne, who followed, jumped directly to the top and smashed the football with his head.
The football shot towards Chelsea's goal with great speed.
Danger!
The Chelsea fans at the scene screamed in horror, their voices trembling.
Mourinho on the sidelines saw this and was thinking in his heart.
Tutu, I am so nervous.
The ball was very fast, shooting towards Chelsea's goal like lightning. Courtourva in front of the goal reacted very quickly, moved sideways and then quickly dived out. With a single palm, he directly intercepted the flying football and saved it from the bottom line.
pretty! Nice save!
The Chelsea fans at the scene immediately gave Courtois thunderous applause. Courtois really performed very well and was very powerful. He was able to save this!
Countless people at the scene gave Courtois a thumbs up, what a great performance.
To be honest, the goalkeepers of both teams really performed very well today. If it weren't for them, this game would have already been a big score.
Mourinho on the sidelines also applauded Courtois and reminded Chelsea of their defense.
At this time, defense is the most important. Don't give the Crystal Palace people another chance. ??
Corner kicks are actually very dangerous.
There are aerial tyrants like Ignacio in the Crystal Palace formation, and there are also people like Van Dijk and Laporte, so the threat is quite great.
That's why Mourinho is so nervous at this time.
Chelsea's players were also very nervous at this time. They all came to the penalty area, followed closely by the Crystal Palace players in the penalty area. Especially for Ignacio, they focused on defense. Terry and Zuma followed Ignacio closely and did not give him any space.
Ignacio also felt very tight defense. He was always looking for opportunities, but it was difficult.
Terry and Zuma are not easy guys to get along with.
At this time, Robertson came to the corner kick area, his eyes fixed on the court, looking at Ignacio in the penalty area. Yes, he wanted to give the football to Ignacio. But Ignacio was being closely guarded at this time and had no chance.
Toot, at this moment, Anthony Taylor immediately blew the free throw whistle.
Robertson immediately raised his hand to signal his teammates for the No. 2 tactic.
Then he took a quick run-up and hit the football hard with one kick. The football flew up quickly, then spun quickly and flew into Chelsea's penalty area.
"Danger, Chelsea's goal is dangerous! Van Dijk..." Mortensen suddenly roared excitedly.
The Chelsea fans at the scene were all frightened. It was very dangerous.
Mourinho on the sidelines also concentrated his attention, staring closely at the football flying in the air, feeling worried in his heart, it was very dangerous.
With a bang, Van Dijk jumped high and hit the football hard, and the football shot quickly towards Chelsea's goal.
The speed of the ball was really fast, and Courtois felt like lightning flashed in front of his eyes.
