279: Will Twin Crystal Palace become the tragic twin king?

beep!

The referee blows the whistle and the game officially begins!

Tong Yi sat firmly on the coaching bench and looked calmly at the stadium, not worried at all.

Dnipro's strength is indeed good and they are also the biggest dark horse in the Europa League this season, but there is still a big gap in strength between them and Crystal Palace. As long as Crystal Palace has a good mentality, plays in the usual way, and uses all their strength, Crystal Palace will definitely win this game.

Tong Yi was not worried at all.

And Dnipro's head coach Markovich never sat down as soon as he entered the stadium. He stood on the sidelines and walked back and forth. I don't know if this is his habit or because he is too nervous!

There should be a lot of pressure on Markovic and the Dnipro players now.

After all, if they take a step further, they can create miracles!

A miracle that could even be called the "Miracle of Dnipro".

At this time, the more they want to win, the greater the pressure they feel!

If Dnipro really wins this game and wins the Europa League, it will not only be the first Europa League championship in the 97-year history of their Dnipro club, but also their first European championship. Since the 2009-2010 Europa League restructuring, the Ukrainian team won the first Europa League championship.

If they really win the championship this time, they will create a lot of historical records!

And this group of players will also go down in history!

Markovich will also become a legendary honorary coach!

When they think of this, they all get excited!

No wonder they are so nervous.

I wonder if the Dnipro players were nervous on the court?

Tong Yi turned his head and looked into the court. The person holding the ball was a Dnipro player.

The performance of the Dnipro people still made Tong Yi's eyes shine. These guys didn't play conservatively at all, but they didn't play aggressively either. They really look like some strong teams. It seems that they are still quite powerful in the Ukrainian domestic league.

Facing Crystal Palace, the defending Europa League champion, the Dnipro people showed no signs of timidity.

Looks like a good game.

Sure enough, any team that can make it all the way to the Europa League final is not a good one.

"Gary, what do you think of this game? Do you think Crystal Palace can win this season?" Mortensen looked at the relatively unfamiliar Gary Neville and asked.

After all, he and Neville have played together relatively rarely, so he is still a little uncomfortable with it.

He was still relatively familiar with the person sitting next to him, Hiller.

"Of course, I think Crystal Palace will definitely win! They just lost the Premier League title, and I believe they definitely don't want to lose the Europa League title again! They don't want to be some bullshit tragic hero! It's all tragic, how can there be anything else? What kind of hero? In this game, Crystal Palace will definitely vent all the resentment in their hearts. Dnipro may not be able to resist it.

You can live with it! " Neville said.

Mortensen nodded slightly, feeling that what Neville said was quite right.

In this situation, Crystal Palace really cannot allow any more losses!

Neville suddenly asked, "What do you think? What do you think of this game?"

Mortensen was also slightly stunned, not expecting Neville to ask him back.

He was about to answer when suddenly Crystal Palace intercepted the ball in the stadium!

"Hey, opportunity! Kanter, Kanter was so angry that he touched the football at the foot of the opponent's captain Rotan. Counterattack, Crystal Palace is going to counterattack!" Mortensen roared excitedly.

Neville's attention was also attracted.

The football came to Goretzka's feet in an instant. Without delay, Goretzka made a long pass and passed the football to Ignacio, the high point of the money field!

Paulinho was out today due to a minor injury, and Goretzka took his place.

In this position, Goretz is of course more inclined to attack. But you can't doubt Goretzka's defensive ability. There is no one in the Crystal Palace who does not participate in defense. Of course, compared with Paulinho, Goretzka's ability to run back and forth in this position is weaker, and he is also weaker in defensive interception.

However, in terms of offense, whether it is long-passing to organize counterattacks, running with the ball to counterattack, or holding the ball to sort out offensive advances, etc., Goretzka is better than Paulinho.

Today, Tong Yi asked Goretzka to start in order to strengthen the offense.

After all, with Kanter by Goretzka's side, there shouldn't be too many defensive problems.

Goretzka's long pass was very accurate and flew directly to the head of Ignacio in front.

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were very excited about the opportunity!

The opponent's Brazilian center back Douglas resisted Ignacio from behind and tried to influence Ignacio's takeoff, but was obviously unsuccessful. Ignacio jumped up high and shook his head.

The football shot quickly towards the ribs of Dnipro's penalty area.

Salah rushed forward quickly, getting in front of the opponent's full-back Fedecki.

Follow football!

Danger!

The Ukrainian fans who came from afar were extremely nervous and their eyes widened!

Even Shevchenko, who came to the stands today, couldn't help but frown slightly.

Yes, Ukrainian football legend Shevchenko also came to the scene today and is currently sitting in the stands.

After all, Dnipro is the first Ukrainian team to enter the Europa League finals since the restructuring of the Europa League. As a legendary player in Ukrainian football, Shevchenko naturally wants to give

My own club cheers for me.

Moreover, Shevchenko also feels that Dnipro has a chance to win the championship.

However, this is very dangerous.

Just when Salah caught up with the football, Ukraine national goalkeeper Denis Boyko rushed in front of Salah and blocked Salah's shot.

As a tall goalkeeper with a height of 194, Boyko's speed and reaction are really not slow, and this attack was very timely.

With a bang, the football hit Boyko directly on the chest and bounced out.

Salah reacted quickly and immediately stretched out his legs to hook the football. Unfortunately, he failed to hook the ball in his panic and the football immediately flew behind Salah.

Fedochuk, who was on the line of the penalty area, did not dare to neglect and kicked the football out of the line immediately.

Because he had already felt De Bruyne coming behind him. If he was a little slower, the ball would definitely be intercepted. Sure enough, as soon as he kicked the football out, De Bruyne's leg stretched out from behind him. A little slower, the ball was stabbed by De Bruyne.

so close!

"Wow, what a pity! Crystal Palace's attack looks very simple, but it is full of threats. Salah is still a little slow by half a beat. If he misses it any faster, the opponent's goalkeeper will have no chance!" Mortensen felt very sorry.

Neville immediately said, "It is indeed a pity. However, Salah has done a good job on this goal. The reason why he was a little slower is because the opponent's full-back Fedecki defended very well and followed up." It was very tight. Before Salah could catch up with the football, he obviously interfered and delayed Salah, otherwise, Salah would not have been half a beat slower!"

Indeed, when Salah entered the penalty area, Fedecki stretched out his hand to interfere with Salah!

Otherwise, this ball will be over!

Salah did not forget to turn his head and glance at the Ukrainian full-back. This guy is still very smart in playing football. This pull can delay him very well to give Boyko time to attack, and it will not cause a foul to give Crystal Palace a penalty kick. It is really good!

Salah remembered this guy, and he will not be so casual next time he deals with this guy.

Sideline ball, Crystal Palace continued to press.

After consecutive passes from the wing, De Bruyne found the space and passed directly behind Fedecki. Full-back Robertson quickly stepped on the sideline and quickly penetrated from behind Fedecki, chasing the football!

Fedecki stayed close to Salah and did not give Salah a chance. Unexpectedly, this time, Crystal Palace directly used Salah as a cover to attract his defender, and then hit him behind with a pass.

Dnipro is in danger!

Fedecki immediately turned around and quickly rushed towards Robertson who was advancing.

However, he never caught up because Luo

After catching up with the football, Berson didn't stop the ball and directly passed it with the instep of his leg and a huge banana curve ball. The football directly bypassed the 190cm tall Brazilian center back Douglas and spun directly towards Ignacio in the middle!

Danger!

"Header!" Mortensen jumped up excitedly and roared excitedly!

All the Crystal Palace fans were extremely excited.

With a snap, Boyko reacted very quickly in front of the goal. He jumped into the air and threw the football towards the upper right corner of the goal with one palm. The football flew out of the baseline!

Beautiful!

The Ukrainian fringe national goalkeeper Boyko really performed very well. Only a few minutes into the game, he made consecutive wonderful saves. This guy is in very good shape today. It seems that Crystal Palace still has to spend some effort to break through the goal he is guarding!

Corner kick, Crystal Palace won the first corner kick of the game!

Robertson drove the football into the Dnipro penalty area with a curved kick and flew straight to the center. Douglas in the middle got ahead of Ignacio and pushed the football out. The football flew quickly towards the team captain Rotan who was outside. Rotan did not give Kante a chance to rush from behind. He did not stop the ball and pushed the football back to Fei who rushed out of the penalty area. Dochuk.

Fedochuk did not stop the ball, and made a long diagonal pass, accurately passing the football to the feet of Brazilian winger Mateus on the wing!

This Mateus is also transliterated as Matthews!

Tong Yi knows this guy, because in Tong Yi's memory, this guy will play for the Chinese Super League in the future, playing for Jibei Shimen Yongchang and Yuhang Football Club.

This guy is very unique, he is fast and has good skills.

Moreover, Tong Yi is also very clear that in the next season, Matthews will usher in an explosion in Dnipro. Next season, he will play 34 times for this team, sending 12 goals and 11 assists, which is simply called Absolutely core.

Having only transferred back last summer, he has now fully integrated into the team and is slowly realizing his talent.

This time Matthews saw Carvajal rushing over just as he stretched his legs to stop the ball.

He was originally going to stop the football next to him, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he stretched out his legs to push the football forward. The football rolled past Carvajal quickly, and he even accelerated past him. Carvajal catches up with football!

Matthews made consecutive stops and passed the ball with one man, instantly blasting Carvajal!

Everyone at the scene was shocked!

What was even more shocking was that Matthews sprinted from the wing to the edge of the Crystal Palace penalty area. After attracting Van Dijk out, he suddenly made a pass. The football bypassed Van Dijk and flew directly to the center. Kalinic, who followed in the center, easily headed the ball into the goal. Into the Crystal Palace goal.

One to zero!
