196: Beat Stoke City away and take away three points!

Seeing the Crystal Palace lineup, Hughes was both happy and angry.

Hughes is happy that Crystal Palace has carried out a large-scale rotation and recruited many people. This is their opportunity; he is angry that this guy Tong Yi actually looks down on Stoke City and recruits so many young people. Do you, Tong Yi, think we at Stoke City are easy to bully?

However, as long as we can win this game, nothing else matters.

You Crystal Palace have brought it upon themselves, so we at Stoke City will be rude in this game. We at Stoke City will definitely win this game!

Media reporters and commentators have also noticed that Crystal Palace's lineup has a large rotation area.

Shearer said directly, "To be honest, I can't understand it! Why does David have to rotate extensively in this game? The next round of games is not until April 4th, which is almost half a month away from now." In a month’s time, all Crystal Palace’s main players will have enough rest in this round of competition.”

Yes, even the media reporters can’t figure it out. .??.??

Mortensen immediately said, "It is true that this is difficult for us to do immediately. Does Tong Yi want the main players of Crystal Palace to have a good rest and prepare for the national team game?"

Media reporters are a little confused.

Not even Hughes figured it out.

Tong Yi didn't care about these questions at all, he just sat quietly on the sidelines.

Soon, the game began.

The first to kick off was Stoke City, who played at home. His tactics were obviously based on defensive counterattacks. It can be seen that the rest is still very pragmatic. Although the style is very high before the game, it is still very low-key during the game.

It can be seen that Hughes is really here to win the game.

However, even so, media reporters are not very optimistic about Stoke City.

Of course, the same is true for the Crystal Palace.

The Crystal Palace players were full of confidence in this game, so they played very calmly.

On the sidelines, Tong Yi was very satisfied.

It can be seen that the Crystal Palace players listened to what he said in the dressing room.

However, the first threatening attack in this game came from Stoke City. Stoke City's full-back Anautovic fought over Alonso when fighting for the high ball, and then immediately caught up with him. Football, directly crossed the football to the center of the penalty area.

Crouch, who followed up, stretched out his long legs and stabbed the football towards the Crystal Palace goal before Rudiger.

The ball speed is very fast.

This made the Stoke City fans very excited and excited. This is it, we Stoke City are going to take the lead.

Even Hughes stood up excitedly on the sidelines.

Then, Edward in front of the goal suddenly jumped out and saved the football from the bottom line just as it was about to fly into the goal.

The Stoke City fans were very disappointed and sighed.

Of course the commentators at the scene were very excited

, Edward's reaction is really too fast, can he save the ball? It’s simply a miracle!

The Crystal Palace defensive players were also very excited and pumped their fists one after another. Rudiger even ran directly to Edward and gave him a hug.

Crouch put his hands on his hips, looking up to the sky and shaking his head.

Seeing this, Tong Yi was still very calm and didn't care at all.

Hughes closed his eyes in despair and was silent for a while, then opened his eyes.

What a missed opportunity!

Hughes really felt it was a pity, thinking that he knew very well that with the strength of Stoke City, it would be difficult to get several such good opportunities in this game.

If we fail to grasp it this time, Stoke City's winning rate will drop a lot.

Corner kick, Stoke City still has a chance for a corner kick!

Hughes immediately came to the sidelines and shouted loudly, reminding the Stoke City players in the stadium to seize the opportunity, improve their ability to seize the opportunity, and strive to defeat the Crystal Palace team within the limited opportunity.

At this time, the Crystal Palace seemed very calm.

The defensive players of Crystal Palace organized their defense in an orderly manner. This was too normal for them, and they had no worries at all.

Corner kick, Stoke City's Ireland went directly to the corner kick area.

Then Stoke City's high points poured into the Crystal Palace penalty area. It was obvious that Stoke City went all out.

However, the Crystal Palace players were not panicked at all.

At this moment, Ireland took a running start and arced the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area. The football flew quickly towards the entry point of Crystal Palace, and Crouch immediately rushed over from this high point.

Then, Edward, who rushed out of the football, took the football off Crouch's head.

Nice attack, nice save!

Bang bang bang bang!

The fans of the visiting team immediately applauded Edward. After the start of the game, Edward was in very good condition. These two consecutive saves were really perfect.

Seeing Edward's performance, Crystal Palace fans are full of confidence in this game.

Crystal Palace will definitely win this game.

Hughes on the sidelines shook his head helplessly, what was the goal? Driving the football directly into the small penalty area of ​​the Crystal Palace, isn't this passing the football back to Edward?

Hughes shook his head slightly, the team's strength was still poor!

If the team was slightly stronger, they would already be ahead of Crystal Palace at this time.

such a pity!

At this moment, before Hughes could react, Edward directly made a big

The foot drove the football away.

The football flew straight into Stoke City's half, and then Ignacio immediately overpowered the 188-foot-tall Wilson who rushed out, flicked his head and passed the football directly to Asensi who rushed up from the wing. profound.

After Asensio received the ball, he suddenly cut inside and feinted defensive player Geoff Cameron. Then he suddenly turned downward and completely attracted Cameron. Then he suddenly passed the ball back to the middle with an inverted triangle.

The football rolled quickly towards Stoke City's penalty spot.

Mane, who followed up, used his speed to rush directly from behind Shawcross, got to the football first, and directly swung his legs to shoot the far lower corner of the goal.

The ball was very fast. Begovic in front of the goal actually reacted very quickly, but his height affected his speed on the ground, so the ball passed directly by him and rolled straight into the far lower corner of the goal.

One to zero!

Crystal Palace quickly broke through Stoke City's goal and took the lead.

Seeing this, the Crystal Palace fans were very excited and happy. Sure enough, Stoke City still had no way to stop them from Crystal Palace.

After scoring, Mane even did a Bebeto classic celebration move - cradle dance!

When they saw Mane's action, the commentators and media reporters on the scene were stunned. What does this celebration mean? Does Mane have a child? Or is Mane's wife pregnant?

Seeing Mane make this celebration, the Crystal Palace players all reacted, and then rushed over, stood in a row with Mane, and performed a cradle dance celebration together.

This moment became a beautiful scenery in the stadium.

Seeing this, Tong Yi smiled slightly and thanked these little guys for their blessings!

At this time, the media reporters and commentators tried their best to figure it out, but Mane really had a child? There were no reports on this before the game? They wanted to get to know each other better after the game.

After conceding the goal, Stoke City actually did not mess up their position. They were still defensive and counterattacking.

It can be seen that Hughes is really calm.

He knew that even if Stoke City attacked, they might not be able to break through the opponent's goal. Instead, they would be counterattacked by Crystal Palace. It's better to continue to defend and counterattack, attract the Crystal Palace players, and then look for gaps in the opponent's defense, seize the opportunity to counterattack, and give the opponent a fatal blow. In this way, they can score goals more efficiently.

Therefore, the break is still stable, signaling the Stoke City players to continue to hold on.

Not to mention, this effect is still very good. The Crystal Palace side is indeed Dali's offense, and the players are also quite successful. But under the stubborn defense of Stoke City, the Crystal Palace people did not get a particularly good opportunity.

So, at the end of the first half,

Crystal Palace still leads Stoke City 1-0.

In other words, Crystal Palace did not score any more goals in the first half, and Stoke City's defense was very effective.

Therefore, after the second half of the game started, Hughes still let the Stoke City people stick to their feet and wait for the opportunity.

Hughes knows very well that Crystal Palace players are not iron men and they will always have physical crises. As long as Crystal Palace's physical fitness declines, Stoke City will immediately launch a counterattack, and they will be able to score goals and win the game.

Rest is still very stable, waiting almost.

However, the Stoke City players on the court did not have as good a mentality as Hughes. They slowly couldn't help it anymore and wanted to attack. Because they didn't want to lose like this, and it was very awkward and frustrating to play like this. More importantly, they felt that Crystal Palace's attack power was getting weaker and weaker.

Stoke City's players felt their chance had come.

Therefore, at this time, Stoke City's players gradually pushed outwards and began to attack the Crystal Palace goal.

To be honest, Hughes didn't agree at first.

He felt that it was best to defend and counterattack. If he endured it any longer, the Crystal Palace people would definitely have physical problems.

However, he felt that the feelings of the Stoke City players on the pitch were correct. Because after all, it is the Stoke City players who are playing football, and they feel the deepest and clearest about the state of the Crystal Palace players on the pitch. Therefore, he trusts the judgment of Stoke City players at this time.

Then, he also acquiesced to the fact that Stoke City players attacked.

However, less than five minutes after Stoke City's attack, they only got one long-range shot opportunity. Crystal Palace intercepted the ball directly in the midfield. Kante's forward sweep put huge pressure on the Stoke City people, resulting in a mistake in the midfield pass. The rushing Milinkovic successfully stole the ball and then quickly passed the football to Goretzka in the frontcourt.

Gretzky turned the ball, quickly dodged the oncoming Nzonzi, and then directly slanted the football to the wing.

Asensio on the wing did not catch the ball, but missed the ball. Alonso, who came up from the wing, directly kicked the ball and passed the ball accurately into the center of Stoke City's penalty area.

Ignacio rushed up, jumped high, overwhelmed the opponent's center back Shawcross, and slammed the football into the Stoke City goal.

Two to zero!

Stoke City goalkeeper Begovic's reaction was actually very fast. He immediately jumped out and his fingers touched the football. But the football only changed direction slightly and did not change the general trend of flying into the goal. Therefore, the football flew into Stoke City's goal very ruthlessly.

Ignacio scores a goal!

In the end, in this game, Crystal Palace also defeated Stoke City 2-0 away from home, winning the game and taking away three points from the away game.
