109: It’s actually quite difficult to beat Crystal Palace.

Two to two, the Manchester City players felt the pressure from Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace's resilience is really strong.

The Manchester City players are a little doubtful of themselves. Can they really defeat Crystal Palace?

Very suspenseful!

However, the Manchester City players were still attacking crazily on the court, and they wanted to win this game.

Guardiola on the sidelines was also a little nervous, staring tightly into the court.

Silva on the wing received the ball and cut inside.

Yes, Manchester City replaced Nolito with David Silva. Nolito had almost no performance today. To be honest, Guardiola was very disappointed. He had high expectations for Nolito, but in the end he found that this guy was not suitable for the rhythm and atmosphere of the Premier League. I am afraid that this signing will be a loss.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Tong Yi on the other side.

He really couldn't understand why this guy was successful in every signing he made? And it’s still a huge profit! .??.

This guy is awesome!

Also very mysterious!

Boom!

Silva, who cut into the penalty area, seemed to be about to take a long shot, but with his legs raised, he made a diagonal kick and directly pushed the football one step into the penalty area on the other side.

Van Dijk was stuck behind Aguero, and Kanter stretched his legs without intercepting it.

The football rolled directly in front of Sterling, who rushed up. He didn't stop the ball at all, and just hit the ball with a blast.

With a whoosh, the football whizzed past and flew over the crossbar, interacting with Manchester City fans.

Why! Manchester City fans sighed, disappointed.

This guy Sterling really makes them love and hate him!

What I love is his breakthrough ability and the ability to score the ball after breaking through to attract the defense; what I hate is this guy's shooting ability.

Having said that, Sterling's shooting skills are far inferior to the French star Mbappe whom Tong Yi supports.

Mbappe's shooting skills are really enviable.

No wonder Tong Yi supported Mbappe so much before.

It would be great if Mbappe's shooting skills fell on Sterling.

pity!

Guardiola on the sidelines was also very speechless. He also loved and hated Sterling. When Sterling's shooting skills can be guaranteed, he will be able to become the top winger in the world.

What a pity, what a pity!

There should be no hope for this.

Three minutes later, Manchester City made a comeback and continued their onslaught.

At this time, Crystal Palace's tactics changed a lot. They almost no longer pressed high, but instead went with the flow and launched a defensive counterattack.

It seems that Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace people have realized that Manchester City is so powerful at this time that they can only avoid its edge for the time being.

The football rolled to Sterling's feet again, and Cancelo immediately rushed to meet him.

Sterling suddenly changed his rhythm and passed the ball quickly.

Bang sound,

Cancelo, who was well prepared for the Football Cup, stretched out his legs to intercept!

Finally, finally Cancelo was able to guard Sterling again.

Cancelo rushed past Sterling and caught up with the football. He immediately released the football forward!

Cancelo is confident in his pace, but he is also concerned about how quickly he clears Sterling.

Therefore, Cancelo did not risk holding the ball this time and passed the football immediately.

Guardiola's eyes lit up on the sidelines, and he became very interested in Cancelo.

He thinks this guy is very smart in playing football, and he has good foot skills, good ball-playing ability, and the ability to advance with the ball. His speed is not slow. He even grasps the timing of rushing with the ball or passing the ball very accurately.

This is an excellent right post!

And he is also a full-back that he admires and looks forward to having.

Guardiola felt that this guy was very suitable for his tactical system, and he immediately wanted to get Cancelo to the Manchester City team.

Cancelo's pass was very accurate.

The football rolled in front of De Bruyne in the frontcourt. De Bruyne, who had his back turned, did not stop the ball at all. He pulled the ball and turned around, avoiding Fernandinho behind him.

Fernandinho immediately reached out and pulled De Bruyne to the ground.

foul!

Fernandinho committed a tactical foul.

The Crystal Palace players were very excited and angry. This was a very good opportunity to counterattack.

This tactical reaction earned me a card, and it was also a red card!

Fernandinho's movement was very big. He rushed directly towards people, and there was no possibility of touching the ball. Moreover, he used both his hands and feet. Doesn't this make sense without giving him a red card?

Even if you don't give a red card, you should at least give one yellow card.

Fernandinho had already received a yellow card before. This should have turned two yellow cards into one red card, and he was sent off, right?

Almost all Crystal Palace players looked at referee Atkinson.

Atkinson whistled for a foul, but didn't express it at all and didn't play a card.

The Crystal Palace players were very dissatisfied and roared at Atkinson, and even received a warning.

Tong Yi on the sidelines was also very dissatisfied. He felt that the goal was a bit too much.

This deserves at least a yellow card, right?

The fourth official shook his head slightly and said, "The referee has his own judgment. If you are dissatisfied with the penalty, you can prepare the information after the game and appeal."

Tong Yi was very speechless!

Is there any point in complaining? Even if the appeal is successful, it cannot change the outcome of this game!

This damn referee team.

The Crystal Palace fans were also very angry and cursed wildly.

The referee of this match.

But Atkinson said nothing.

"Previously, Van Dijk committed a foul in the penalty area, and Atkinson tolerated it without giving Van Dijk a red card. This time Fernandinho also tolerated it without giving a card. He was allowed to find a balance. That’s what you mean!” Mortensen understood.

Hiller curled his lips slightly and didn't say much.

Free kick, Crystal Palace gets a free kick.

De Bruyne passed the football to the wing. Salah on the wing tried to break through but failed, and directly pushed the football to Cancelo who was advancing from the wing. Cancelo passed the ball and the football flew into Manchester City. In the team's penalty area.

Ibrahimovic in the penalty area rushed forward quickly, supported Otamendi behind him, and volleyed the ball hard into the net rod behind the near post.

The net trembled uncontrollably.

Crystal Palace fans thought a goal had been scored.

The Manchester City players and fans were all shocked. They thought they were going to lose this game. It was so suspenseful.

This is a reminder to the Manchester City players that Crystal Palace has a strong counterattack ability and must pay attention to defense when attacking. Otherwise, Manchester City will suffer.

However, this still did not slow down Manchester City's attack.

After the football was passed quickly in the midfield, Goretzka suddenly sent the football through the ball to the feet of Aguero in the frontcourt.

It's a pity that Aguero picked up the ball with his back and was held tightly by Van Dijk. He had no chance to turn around.

Aguero had no choice but to pass the football back, and the football rolled in front of Toure who was rushing up.

Toure wanted to take a long shot directly, but Casemiro was in front of the football and he had no chance at all. He could only stretch out his long legs and push the football to the side. The football quickly rolled to the side and came to the feet of Sagna. Sagna held the ball and broke forward, then passed the ball straight and passed it to the side. The football was delivered to Sterling's feet.

It still depends on Sterling's breakthrough.

Facing Cancelo, Sterling once again broke through with the ball. This time Sterling broke through successfully.

It was just an outside breakthrough, not a successful inside cut.

Moreover, Cancelo is very fast and keeps following Sterling. Sterling has no chance to cut inside. He only made a pass with his legs, and the football flew quickly into the center of the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Aguero in the middle jumped up, but unfortunately the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Van Dijk.

Sure enough, Aguero's header ability is indeed not good.

The football was pushed out of the penalty area. Toure, who rushed up, immediately squeezed Kanter hard with his body and stopped the football with his body. But before he could make the next move, the football was stabbed out by Kanter who was staggering and stretched out his leg.

The football rolled towards Rudiger. Rudiger didn't hesitate and pushed the football diagonally out immediately.

The football quickly rolled towards the feet of Carvajal, who was advancing from the wing. Carvajal caught up with the football and moved forward quickly with the ball.
