203: Not a threat yet

Substitute!

Although Jimenez patted his chest to ensure that he was fine and could still play, Tong Yi also made the decision to make a substitution.

Jimenez can no longer play.

Moreover, this time Wagner did not side with Jimenez.

Wagner also felt that Jimenez could no longer play.

If I continue to play, the injury will become uncontrollable.

However, seeing Jimenez's reaction, Tong Yi still gave Jimenez some time. When the first half of the game was over and the second half started, he actually replaced Jimenez.

Seriously, Jimenez has a chance to score a hat trick.

At the end of the first half, Crystal Palace's winger sent a precise cross. Unfortunately, Asensio, who was in the front, did not touch the football. Instead, Jimenez, who was lying in the back, seized the opportunity. .??.

He resisted Stankovic behind him, then retreated and swept the ball towards the Huddersfield goal.

It's a pity that the football missed the goal slightly, just a few inches away.

Jimenez also felt very regretful.

He had a great opportunity, but it was a pity that he failed to seize it. If the goal really goes in, he will definitely leave a very deep impression on Tong Yi.

It's a pity, it's a pity that I was injured!

He can feel that he is in very good condition today. If he can continue to play, he will definitely be able to score more goals, not to mention a hat trick. If he is lucky, he may even score four goals or five goals. Deng Ke.

Unfortunately, he was injured.

Jimenez turned to look at Tong Yi again. He really felt that his injury was not serious and he could still persevere.

But when he thought of Tong Yi's serious expression, he retreated.

Tong Yi is not that easy to talk to.

It was an exception to let him finish the half, so he didn't argue anymore.

I hope my performance in the first half of the game can impress the head coach Tong Yi!

To be honest, if it were not for Ibrahimovic this season, Jimenez feels that he is capable of serving as Crystal Palace's supporting center this season, and his performance will not be better than Ibrahimovic. Poor.

It's a pity that it's not his turn!

But he is very satisfied with being able to play the main role in the rotation.

But now that Ignacio is back from injury, his position is under threat. Fortunately, he performed well today. I hope Tong Yi can give himself more opportunities based on his performance today.

At this time, Jimenez couldn't help but look anxious at Ignacio.

Because it was Ignacio who replaced him in the second half of the game.

Jimenez is also a little worried. He is afraid that Ignacio's performance will be very good and surpass him. In this case, his position will be in doubt.

He admitted that Ignacio was also a very good person

The center forward is very capable.

After all, Ignacio's performance last season is still fresh in my mind. If he hadn't been seriously injured, maybe Ignacio would have had a chance to win the top scorer in the Premier League?

What a pity, what a pity!

However, Jimenez felt relieved when he thought that Ignacio had just recovered from his injury.

Ignacio is indeed very powerful, but it is impossible to return to his best form and score goals, right?

Therefore, Jimenez felt that Ignacio's performance in this game was definitely not as good as his own.

In the second half of the game, Jimenez sat on the bench and watched the game.

He paid great attention to Ignacio's performance.

After all, Ignacio's performance is related to his future. He hopes to get more opportunities this summer and show more favorable performances to prove himself. Firstly, he hopes to get more opportunities under Tongyi's eyes. Secondly, even if he can't stay, he can Get good stepping stones.

Yes, Jimenez is thinking of leaving now.

The competitive pressure in Crystal Palace is very high. If Jimenez has too few opportunities, he does not want to stay. He wants to go to a team that can play as the main force.

Moreover, he is not too young and needs stable playing time and more games to experience himself.

Therefore, it is normal to have wandering thoughts.

Jimenez's attention was focused on Ignacio.

Ignacio, who had just recovered from injury, obviously did not find the game form all of a sudden, but slowly Ignacio's performance got better and better, and he gradually entered the state.

Seeing this, Jimenez's eyes darkened.

To be honest, Jimenez is really envious of Ignacio.

What is a genius? This is genius!

In Jimenez's opinion, Ignacio is a genius. Otherwise, how could he perform like this?

Now that Ignacio has not scored yet, Jimenez feels tremendous pressure.

Pressure from Ignacio.

No wonder Tong Yi chose Ignacio between Lukaku and Ignacio. If he were Tong Yi, he would make the same choice.

This guy Ignacio is indeed excellent.

Of course, this also has something to do with today's opponent Huddersfield not being very strong.

What's more important is that Huddersfield's intention to resist is not very strong. This kind of game is suitable for players like Ignacio who are returning from injury to find their form.

This is a great thing for Ignacio.

But this is not a good thing for Jimenez.

To be honest, Jimenez is also a little regretful, regretting why he was injured in this game?

Doesn’t this mean giving Ignacio a chance to cultivate competitors for himself?

The more he looked at Jimenez, he also became angry. The more he lamented his bad luck and lamented that Ignacio's fate was too good.

And now Ignacio is playing more and more vigorously, and the more he plays, the smoother he plays. Jimenez is also very worried and nervous, because if he keeps playing like this, it will be a matter of time before Ignacio scores a goal.

Ignacio scored, which is not good news for him.

The pressure of competition is really great.

Jimenez's eyes were fixed on Ignacio in the stadium, and just now he almost screamed out of fright.

Because just now Ignacio got a very good opportunity.

Llorente's through ball actually penetrated Huddersfield's defense and rolled accurately to the forward Ignacio. It's a pity that the opponent's goalkeeper Joel reacted quickly, and Ignacio, who had just recovered from injury, was still a bit unfamiliar, so the ball was a little slow, giving Joel a chance to save the ball.

In the end, Ignacio's shot was saved by Joel, and then defender Stankovic made a clearance.

Seeing this, Jimenez let out a breath, so suspenseful!

Jimenez also saw from this goal that it is unlikely that Ignacio will replace his position in the short term. He still needs time to slowly adapt and recover, so that he can slowly regain his form.

And he just took advantage of this period of time to perform well and strive to show better performance to conquer Tong Yi and get more opportunities.

Jimenez was relieved to see this.

But he was still a little worried.

Because he could see that the Crystal Palace players were frantically feeding Ignacio the ball at this time, as if they wanted to shorten the time for Ignacio to regain his form. What's more important is that these balls are also fed very well. He feels he could have scored at least three more goals if he had stayed on the pitch.

Jimenez is a little envious!

He didn't know whether this was arranged by the head coach, Mr. Tong Yi, or whether it was spontaneously done by his teammates?

He was a little dazed.

Because he knew very well that no matter what the reason was, his position was a bit awkward and the situation was a bit dangerous.

If Tong Yi arranged it, it means that Tong Yi attaches more importance to Ignacio than he previously expected. It is impossible to say that Ignacio will replace him as the first substitute soon. If it is the latter, it means that Ignacio is very popular in the club and his teammates are more willing to help Ignacio.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Jimenez feels that he is not

Too beneficial.

At this time, Jimenez became nervous again.

Jimenez clenched his fists and reminded himself. There is not much time and opportunity left for you, so you must step up and strive to give a better and more convincing performance during this time. Only in this way will he have a chance!

And even if he has to leave Crystal Palace, only with these better performances can he go to a better team and strive for better treatment.

Therefore, no matter what, he will try his best and perform well in the next game!

Jimenez made his goal clear immediately.

At this time, when watching the game again, Jimenez felt much more relaxed and no longer had so many entanglements. Even when Ignacio performed more, he kept applauding and supporting Ignacio.

After thinking about it, he became much more open-minded.

At this time, Ignacio's performance on the court was indeed very good, frequently threatening Huddersfield's goal. However, it is true that it has not returned to its best condition and some opportunities have been wasted. If Ignacio was at his peak, these goals would have been easily scored.

It's a pity that he still hasn't fully recovered.

The intensity of this game was not high, and there was almost no decent resistance from Huddersfield. Even this intensity is not as high as when Jimenez is on the court. With Ignacio's performance, he cannot threaten Jimenez.

Jimenez still has some confidence!

However, in the 31st minute of the second half, Ignacio still performed well. After he received a pass from Perisic, he quickly faked a pass and pushed the football directly into the space.

Asensio rushed into the penalty area and directly swung his leg and volleyed the football into the Huddersfield goal.

Ignacio completed the assist and helped Crystal Palace expand its lead.

Ignacio performed well on this goal, but there is still a gap compared with the current Jimenez.

If Jimenez had not been injured in this game, he would have scored more goals.

And by this time, the game was not over yet.

Ignacio is still attacking like crazy, and the players who are sleeping to work for you are also trying their best to help, feeding Ignacio the ball like crazy. But Ignacio has not yet fully entered the rhythm of the game, so his performance is very positive, but the effect is not very ideal.

For Crystal Palace, Llorente scored a heavy long-range shot from the front of the penalty area at the last moment.

In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Huddersfield 4-0 and directly entered the quarter-finals of this season's FA Cup!

Seeing this result, Jimenez is very satisfied. He feels that his position is still secure now and he still has a chance to prove himself!
