486: One step closer to the league championship

After defeating Real Madrid, Crystal Palace fans were very happy. They had even begun to dream of advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League. But Tong Yi knew very well that now was not the time to be happy.

Real Madrid is very strong, and falling behind 0-1 is not a problem at all.

Tong Yi remembers it very clearly. In his memory, Real Madrid lost 0-2 to Wolfsburg in the first round, but in the second round, Real Madrid easily defeated Wolfsburg 3-0 at their home court. Wolfsburg and then advanced to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

Therefore, one to zero is not a happy outcome.

But it's still very good. At least Real Madrid didn't get an away goal. So as long as Crystal Palace scores a goal in the second round, Real Madrid won't be able to play well.

Therefore, Crystal Palace still has a good chance.

Tong Yi praised the Crystal Palace players and then asked them to get ready for the next game.

Returning to the league, Crystal Palace ushered in the 33rd round of the 2015-2016 Premier League season. Crystal Palace faced Norwich at home.

Norwich are not an easy team to deal with.

This is not to say that Norwich is very strong, but because Norwich is currently ranked fourth from the bottom in the Premier League, with only one point ahead of the third-to-last team. They are now on the edge of the relegation zone. They are trying to avoid relegation. team.

At this time, the Norwich people were desperately trying to score points, which was not easy to deal with.

It's very difficult here at Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace has many things to consider, the most important thing being the starting lineup.

After all, after this weekend's game against Norwich, Crystal Palace will go to Spain for a life-or-death battle with Real Madrid in the middle of next week. If the starting players are brought in this weekend, what happens in the middle of next week?

These two games are actually very important for Crystal Palace.

So, now it depends on how Tong Yi chooses?

Tong Yi had no choice at all and directly sent out a full substitute lineup to face Norwich.

This is not to look down on the Norwich team, but the main players of Crystal Palace must take turns. Otherwise, the main players of Crystal Palace will have to play three games in a row, which is very demanding on their physical fitness. Moreover, it is now the end of the league, and the players themselves are tired. If they continue to play so crazily without rest at this time, the possibility of injury is very high, so Crystal Palace must rotate.

Tong Yi had no choice.

Moreover, Tong Yi is full of expectations for the next game against Real Madrid.

Tong Yi still has the idea of ​​winning the UEFA Champions League.

After all, he wanted to propose to Martina this summer.

How could he propose without winning the Champions League?

Therefore, Crystal Palace will never give up in the game against Real Madrid, and will also fight against their opponents. That

So in the game against Real Madrid, Crystal Palace must field the main players of the current team, and there is no room for thinking at all.

Therefore, in this game against Norwich, Crystal Palace is destined to field a full substitute lineup.

However, even with a full substitute lineup, Crystal Palace had no intention of giving up this game.

In this game, Crystal Palace still wants to fight their opponents to the death.

Although it is said that Crystal Palace has a fault tolerance rate for two games, Tong Yi does not want to take advantage of this fault tolerance rate. Because he didn't want what happened last season to happen again. This season they had to lead the second place by a big score, otherwise they would be in trouble if they were hacked again.

Therefore, in this game, Crystal Palace still has to go all out to win.

Today, Crystal Palace’s starting lineup for this game is goalkeeper Maignan.

The back four from left to right is Alonso, Laporte, Dias and Cancelo

Double defensive midfielder Witsel and Kimmich

Single attacking midfielder Milinkovic-Savic

Front three from left to right Perisic, Jimenez and Asensio

See, even the goalkeeper came on as a substitute, and Alisson also got a chance to rest.

However, although this is a substitute lineup, the dominance shown by the Crystal Palace people on the court is still very strong. In other words, from the beginning of the game, Norwich started to set up a bus. Because they know very well that there is a big gap between them and Crystal Palace in terms of strength, and this game is an away game. They have no intention of fighting against Crystal Palace in the away game, and they have not even thought about getting three points.

Norwich's goal in this game is to maintain one and fight for three, try to maintain a draw and take away one point, and then see if there is a chance to defeat Crystal Palace on counterattack and take away the victory.

Whether Norwich can take away the victory has no hard requirements, but a draw is their tactical goal.

Therefore, as soon as the game started, Norwich started to set up the bus.

Crystal Palace came out with an all-out attack and naturally showed super control. They directly controlled the situation, crazily suppressed Norwich and besieged Norwich. This made the Crystal Palace fans very happy and excited. Even though they had not scored a goal, they were still so happy. Because in their opinion, Crystal Palace is 100% sure to win this game, and the Norwich City people pose no threat.

However, in the 17th minute of the first half, Norwich scared the Crystal Palace fans into a cold sweat.

Norwich launched a counterattack at this time that did not seem to be a good opportunity.

Even their big-footed long pass in the backcourt was not actually a serious long pass, but a big-footed clearance by center back Ryan Bennett. The football just flew to the head of center Mbokani near the midline.

Bacani jumped high before Ferdinand, shook his head and threw the football directly to Naismith who was advancing.

Naismith rushed out, chased the football, and went to the meeting alone.

To be honest, when they saw this ball, all the Crystal Palace fans at the scene were frightened. They couldn't believe their eyes. Is this a precise attack that the Norwich people can play?

Danger!

Tong Yi on the sidelines was also shocked, it was very dangerous!

If the ball is lost, this will be unacceptable to Crystal Palace. The Norwich fans are very excited. They seem to have seen the scene of overturning the Crystal Palace. They, Norwich, are going to take away three points from the Crystal Palace.

Naismith, who has caught up with football, is very confident. Facing the substitute goalkeeper of Crystal Palace, Naismith has a very strong sense of superiority. He didn't believe that a substitute player could stop his one-on-one goal. This goal would definitely be scored!

Norwich is really going to create a miracle in this game, defeating the top team Crystal Palace, getting precious three points, and successfully escaping from the relegation zone.

Naismith was extremely confident, holding the ball at high speed towards the Crystal Palace penalty area. ??

Facing the attacking Maignan, Naismith suddenly took action and shot into the far corner.

With a bang, the football rolled out quickly and towards the far lower corner. Naismith didn't make any fake moves. He just felt that Maignan's speed should be very slow, so he unexpectedly shot with his feet to catch Maignan off guard.

All the Norwich fans at the scene jumped up excitedly and exclaimed, "We have the ball!"

Snapped!

Then, as all the Norwich fans changed their faces, Maignan quickly fell to the ground and threw the football with one palm. Then the football was slightly deflected into the far post and rolled out of the baseline.

The Crystal Palace fans were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat. It was so dangerous.

The Norwich fans felt very sorry. They should have had a chance to score this goal. This goal should have been scored!

Unfortunately, they missed a great opportunity.

Many Norwich fans even felt that Norwich missed their only chance to win this game.

Because a team like Crystal Palace, they simply won't give you this opportunity many times.

Especially for a team like Norwich that is not very strong, it is even more difficult to get such opportunities many times.

Therefore, Norwich fans are really angry and feel very sorry.

After the Crystal Palace players were beaten by this counterattack, they became much more stable, more serious, more careful, and did not mean to give Norwich another chance.

Seeing this, Tong Yicai was really relieved.

If you give this to Norwich again

If there is such an opportunity, then this game will be a failure for Crystal Palace.

After the game restarted, Crystal Palace still took the initiative and controlled the rhythm of the game. Norwich is just tired of defending, and even a little unable to defend.

In the 39th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace, which had been under attack for a long time, finally got a good opportunity.

After Milinkovic in midfield and Cancelo on the wing continued to pass the ball, Cancelo suddenly made a diagonal pass and directly transferred the football to the other side. Perisic on the other side did not stop. Instead, he hooked the ball directly back to full-back Alonso.

Alonso did not break through with the ball, nor did he cooperate with Perisic. Instead, he directly kicked the ball diagonally and quickly stuffed the football into the Norwich penalty area.

In the ribs of the penalty area, Jimenez stepped forward, got ahead of the local center back Bennett, fell to the ground and shot, shoveling the football to the near corner.

The ball was very fast. The goalkeeper Rudy in front of the goal immediately fell to the ground and dived sideways, but he did not touch the football at all. The football rolled quickly into the Norwich goal, and Crystal Palace finally took the lead.

Seeing this, everyone in Norwich knew that the game was over.

Once the Crystal Palace people scored, it would be difficult for the Norwich people to play this game.

After the start of the second half, the Norwich side did not attack crazily and seemed to have accepted the result of the defeat. Because they are now at a critical moment of relegation, a goal difference can affect the fate of several teams, so there is still a big difference between losing one goal and losing three goals.

However, the Norwich people did not give up. They still gave it a try when they had the opportunity. What if they equalized the score?

But what he didn't expect was that their Norwich chance didn't get any good opportunities.

On the contrary, Crystal Palace got a lot of good opportunities and frequently threatened their Norwich goal.

In the 17th minute of the second half, Crystal Palace's wingers played wonderful cooperation, and then Cancelo from the wing directly sent a precise cross, and the football quickly flew into Norwich's penalty area. Jimenez headed the ball from the back of the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball missed the goal slightly.

Crystal Palace completely controlled the rhythm of the game. Norwich had almost no chance in this game.

In the 44th minute of the second half, Crystal Palace also got a very good opportunity. Jimenez turned around and played the ball in the penalty area, pushing the football back to the front of the penalty area. Milinkovic followed closely and directly He shot furiously, and the football shot quickly towards the upper right corner of Norwich's goal.

Bang, the football hit the crossbar of the goal hard and then bounced off the baseline.

Crystal Palace also lacked some luck.

In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Norwich 1-0 and won the game. Tong Yi was very satisfied.
