Some team must step up and curb Crystal Palace's momentum.

Come on, Liverpool!

Klopp stood on the sidelines with a very serious expression. Crystal Palace is playing with all its main players today.

It can be seen that both Crystal Palace and Tong Yi attach great importance to this game.

This game is not easy to play!

Klopp turned to look at Tong Yi again. To be honest, he really didn't expect that in just a few years, this young boy would achieve achievements that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Of course, Klopp is certainly worthy of Crystal Palace, and he is still very confident in this game.

Although the Liverpool in front of him is not particularly perfect and does not meet his inner requirements, the current strength of their Liverpool is still good and can still compete with Crystal Palace.

beep!

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

The first to kick off was Liverpool.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool was still a bit tentative and did not press heavily, but their 433 lineup was an attacking formation. Tong Yi felt that Liverpool could not endure it for long and would definitely attack.

Of course, there was no probing from the Crystal Palace side, it was just high pressure.

Crystal Palace's lineup was very high, and the Liverpool people were shot back like a wave in an instant. Coutinho, Firmino and Mane all pressed into their own half and cruised near the halfway line. , and even retreat to defend.

At this time, Crystal Palace's offense was very fierce.

To be honest, this was a bit beyond the expectations of Liverpool people.

Kloppdu

I couldn't help but turn my head and glance at Tong Yi. Is the Crystal Palace so crazy now? He doesn't seem to take everyone seriously at all!

Klopp turned his head and looked into the stadium again.

Crystal Palace's offense has reached the heart of Liverpool's penalty area.

This is a sequential positional warfare attack.

Crystal Palace quickly advanced to the opponent's penalty area, and then passed the ball back and forth near the penalty area, tearing apart Liverpool's defense. Liverpool's defense was a little passive. It followed the football and moved left and right, and the defense was stretched a bit.

At this moment, Cancelo, who was on the wing, caught the ball and headed towards the bottom line. It seemed that he was about to cross the ball directly. Liverpool's defensive players immediately rushed forward and stretched their legs to intercept.

At this moment, Cancelo twisted and passed the football back.

The football quickly rolled to the feet of Salah, who was still staying on the wing.

Liverpool's players didn't understand why Salah didn't cut inside the penalty area at first, but now they understand.

Salah glanced at the penalty area with the ball. It looked like he was going to pass, but in fact he quickly made a sideways dunk and got out of the way to shoot.

And at this moment, just when everyone thought Salah was going to take a long shot. Unexpectedly, Salah pushed the ball directly into the ribs of Liverpool's penalty area.

At this time, everyone discovered that Cancelo on the wing had already pulled in diagonally.

Danger!

None of Liverpool's wide defenders noticed.

Klopp was shocked on the sidelines, what kind of defense is this? Klein, what are you doing?

This is really a low-level mistake. How could Cancelo cut inside the penalty area so easily?

Danger!

Liverpool's defensive players were a little panicked and rushed towards Cancelo, with people in front and behind him.

Cancelo was not flustered at all and had an idea in his mind.

When these players pounced on him, he directly passed a small inverted triangle back and passed the football to Salah who stepped into the penalty area. Salah was now in space, and Liverpool's defenders immediately turned around and quickly pounced on Salah.

Unfortunately it's too late!

Boom!

Salah didn't stop the ball, just swung his leg and hit the football hard.

The football shot from the ground towards Liverpool's goal.

The football flew past Matip's ears so fast that Matip was stunned.

"Salah, shoot..." Shearer shouted excitedly, his voice very loud.

The Crystal Palace goalkeeper at the scene was also very excited, this goal was there!

Because Mendy's line of sight in front of the goal was somewhat blocked, and the ball was very fast, Mendy, whose line of sight was blocked, had no time to react when he saw the football.

This ball - I have it!

Snapped!

Just when the football was about to fly into the upper corner of the near post, Mendy's long arm instantly crossed in front of the football and blocked it.

The scene was shocked!

Everyone was in disbelief. Could Mendy save this goal?

Mendy, the goalkeeper, has first-class reflexes and skills at the goal line. His shortcoming is that his ball control skills and control area are a bit small at his feet, and he is not very good outside the goal line.

But this ball fully demonstrated his advantages.

Liverpool fans who came from afar gave Mendy thunderous applause. Mendy is really great!

Shearer also exclaimed, "Sure enough, in terms of goal-line skills, there is not much difference between Mendy and De Gea. Mendy is still the top goalkeeper in the Premier League and even world football. Very good!"

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene looked at Mendy with mixed emotions.

Because Mendy was their player before, the Crystal Palace players still have a good impression of Mendy. Moreover, Crystal Palace fans did not want Mendy to leave Crystal Palace. Unfortunately, he did leave Crystal Palace in the end.

Bang bang bang!

The fans of Crystal Palace applauded Mendy's wonderful performance generously.

Salah stared at Mendy with wide eyes. Did he really not expect that the ball could be saved? Matip obviously blocked Mendy's view.

This guy Mendy is really too perverted.

Mendy's reaction and height and length allowed him to complete such a wonderful save.

Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity!

Cancelo ran directly to the corner kick, and then quickly sent the football out, and the football came to Salah's feet.

Tactical corner kick!

Salah immediately ran into Liverpool's penalty area with the ball. Liverpool's defensive players were a little unresponsive. It was a sneak attack. There were even Liverpool players raising their hands to complain to the referee about the Crystal Palace sneak attack.

However, the referee made no comment.

Salah rushed into the penalty area, swung his leg and fired a shot. The football shot out quickly and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

It was so dangerous that Liverpool fans went crazy.

When the sharp-eyed football was about to fly into the goal, a long leg stretched out and scooped the football right on the goal line. The football immediately changed direction, quickly grazing the far end and rolling out of the baseline.

"Laporte, beautiful, it was Laporte who came to the rescue on the goal line! Laporte's reaction was really too fast. Without Laporte's hard work, this goal would have been completely finished. Wow! Wow, Laporte, I wonder what the Crystal Palace fans are thinking now?" Shearer really sighed.

The Crystal Palace fans in the stands did have mixed emotions.

They really didn't expect that the ones blocking the Crystal Palace today would be these Crystal Palace generals. First it was Mendy's wonderful save, and then Laporte's goal-line save. If it weren't for these two guys, Crystal Palace would be leading 2-0 now. Sure enough, the players who came out of Crystal Palace are all

What a talented star!

Seeing the performance of these Crystal Palace players, Crystal Palace fans were very emotional.

The fans of Crystal Palace were excited. Crystal Palace was in very good condition today. They believed that if they continued to play like this, Crystal Palace would definitely win.

Corner kick, Crystal Palace continues to get corner kicks!

This time it’s Carvajal!

Carvajal ran over to take the corner kick, took a deep breath, and then passed the ball directly into Liverpool's penalty area. This time it flew directly to the center of the penalty area. Ibrahimovic jumped up high, overpowered Matip and smashed the football hard.

"Header! Ibrahimovic!" Shearer was very excited.

The Liverpool fans at the scene also became excited, because they all knew that Ibrahimovic was in good condition and this goal must be scored.

With a bang, the football shot towards Liverpool's goal rapidly.

There was another bang, and the football was headed over the bottom line by Laporte who jumped up.

"Laporte, it's Laporte again! Laporte is in very good shape today. It seems that if Crystal Palace wants to break through Liverpool's goal, they must get rid of their old general! If they can't get this With a few guys, this Crystal Palace game is very uncertain! I wonder what David is thinking at this time? He has discovered so many outstanding young people and in the end they have become a stumbling block for him. This..." Shearer So said.

The Crystal Palace fans also sighed and shook their heads slightly.

They had already thought that this game might be difficult, but they did not expect that these difficulties would come from their Yuhi teammates.

This is really very bad!

Tong Yi on the sidelines also stood up and looked around the stadium.

This game didn't start long ago, but Crystal Palace is still in very good shape. He felt that if he continued to play like this, Crystal Palace would definitely be able to win.

Of course, the performance of Laporte and others was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

These guys are in really good shape today!

Corner kick!

Crystal Palace continued to get corner kick opportunities. Crystal Palace continued to put pressure on Liverpool. Liverpool was still very dangerous!

Tong Yi signaled the Crystal Palace players to increase their efforts and strive to score goals as soon as possible.

Against a team like Liverpool, the earlier you score, the better, and the longer you delay, the worse it is. When Liverpool calms down, it will be dangerous. A goal must be scored at this time.

Carvajal saw Tong Yi's gesture and nodded slightly to show his understanding.

At this time, Rudiger, Van Dijk and Casemiro all entered the Liverpool penalty area. It was obvious that this was going to put huge pressure on the Liverpool people. Klopp was a little anxious. He kept gesticulating on the sidelines to remind his players to pay attention.

At this time, Crystal Palace's attack is very fierce, you must resist it!
