Yes, Mortensen is also optimistic about Crystal Palace. .??.
Most people are more optimistic about Crystal Palace.
Therefore, Sevilla is actually still at a disadvantage at this time.

beep!
At this time, the referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game.
The visiting team Sevilla kicked off first, but before they could control the ball, the ball was stolen by Crystal Palace. Seeing this, Sampaoli secretly thought that, of course, Crystal Palace was attacking from the beginning to grab the opening. Look at the start of the game. Crystal Palace players swarmed into Sevilla's half and instantly suppressed the Sevillaans in the half.
Before the Sevilla players could recover, the football was stolen from their feet.
Seeing this, Sampaoli was very angry. He jumped up and roared into the stadium to express his dissatisfaction.
He made it very clear in the locker room before the game, and emphasized it many times, that Crystal Palace must get the start. He asked Sevilla's players to get into shape early, defend carefully, and don't give the Crystal Palace players a chance.
These guys answered well on the surface, but performed very poorly in the game.
His players simply weren't in game shape.
This made Sampaoli very angry and even worried.
It would be very dangerous to kick like this.
And he also saw that the Crystal Palace players had obviously been prepared for this, and what was revealed was obviously premeditated.
He predicted Crystal Palace's tactics and direction correctly, but now he has no advantage and is even at an absolute disadvantage. This naturally makes Sampaoli very angry.
The Sevilla players on the court were also shocked.
Sampaoli’s pre-match prediction was right, Crystal Palace went crazy from the start
The ground attack fiercely, press on the whole line. It's dangerous, Sevilla is in danger now.
Because the Sevilla players know their situation very well.
They haven't entered the state and rhythm of the game yet, but Crystal Palace has begun to take off. Isn't Sevilla completely doomed?
Sevilla's players were very nervous, but they still gritted their teeth and defended.
But at this time, Sevilla simply couldn't withstand the onslaught of the Crystal Palace people.
"Wow, the morale and state of the Crystal Palace team today are very amazing. The intensity has increased since the beginning. For this high pressure and this pressing, the Sevilla people seem to be completely unprepared! This preparation is not sufficient. Sevilla is in suspense. As expected, the ball was stolen, and Crystal Palace completed the interception!" Mortensen suddenly roared excitedly, his voice penetrating.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene also became excited instantly, jumping up and down and cheering excitedly.
They also saw it, and they were very different from the beginning of the game. At first glance, it seemed that the Crystal Palace side was very well prepared, while the Sevilla side looked a little embarrassed and fell to the bottom in an instant.
Sure enough, their Crystal Palace is super strong and cannot be resisted by the Sevillaans.
Seeing this, the Crystal Palace fans instantly became confident. They felt that Crystal Palace would definitely win this game. There was no way for the Sevilla people to stop the progress of Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace must win!
Their Crystal Palace will definitely reach the quarterfinals of this season's UEFA Champions League.
Henry also said with some excitement, "This is too fast, and the players' pace of attacking is also very consistent. It's like a big net trapping the Sevilla people, leaving the Sevilla people nowhere to go." Escape! The Sevilla people are actually not weak, but it is obvious that they are a little slow to enter the game state, each one seems to have not woken up!"
This is indeed the case. Before the Sevilla players could react, their feet were cut off.
Come on, Crystal Palace is really too fast.
Moreover, the high post pressure was very fierce. The Sevillans were pressed when passing the ball, so the ball was intercepted instantly.
After successfully intercepting the ball, Crystal Palace did not slow down at all.
The Crystal Palace side even accelerated their attack, and the football quickly rolled to the feet of De Bruyne in front. Sevilla's defensive players were shocked and immediately rushed forward to press De Bruyne. Unexpectedly, De Bruyne quickly passed the football across the ball, and the football rolled to the side.
Cancelo from the wing stepped in from behind and immediately passed the football to the feet of Salah in the frontcourt.
Salah didn't stop the ball at all and once again passed the football back to Cancelo who followed up quickly.
This continuous pass mobilized the focus of Sevilla's defensive players and instantly tore apart Sevilla's defense. Cancelo didn't stop the ball and just kicked it straight
He quickly passed the football to Salah who was advancing forward.
The two people's continuous passing and receiving overwhelmed Sevilla's defensive players. Moreover, they have not yet fully entered the state of the game, and they can't keep up. Coupled with the fact that their passing speed is so fast, the holes in Sevilla's defense were torn apart instantly.
Salah easily penetrated Sevilla's defense and chased the ball.
The Sevilla fans were shocked. They immediately raised their hands to signal that the Crystal Palace players were offside. This was an offside kick. But the referee and the linesman ignored it, it was a good goal.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were very excited and excited. They were jumping with excitement and cheering for the Crystal Palace players. They were looking forward to a goal.
It's best to score a goal right from the start.
Sampaoli on the sidelines was very angry, shouting crazily and directing the Sevilla players to defend. But it seems that it really has no effect. Sevilla's players have not yet fully entered the game state at this time. How can they keep up with Salah?
Salah is in game form at first glance, and he is in very good form.
After catching up with the football, he turned around and glanced at Sevilla's penalty area. In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic had already rushed up to respond. But Salah had no intention of passing the ball at all. He directly passed the ball with a fake move, and then took advantage of the situation with a mouth ball, dunking directly over the defensive player, and then quickly entered Sevilla's penalty area.
Sampaoli on the sidelines was really speechless. This defense was like paper.
Even if the Crystal Palace players are not in great shape, they can easily get past their defense.
Sampaoli was very angry, jumping up and down on the sidelines and gesticulating, but the effect was not ideal at all.
"It's dangerous. It's dangerous for Sevilla. It's so easy for Salah to break through. Who can intercept him now? Sevilla has completely lost its defense. The ball is hanging. Is it possible? Are Crystal Palace going to bring the ball in?" Mortensen was a little excited, Crystal Palace was going to score a goal.
The fans of Crystal Palace are naturally very excited and excited. The game has just started. Are we at Crystal Palace about to equalize the score? If that's the case, this game is a godsend.
We, Crystal Palace, will definitely win this game.
With continuous breakthroughs with the ball, Salah went directly into Sevilla's penalty area. Then facing the center defender Pareja who rushed forward, Salah once again swung his leg and faked a dunk, directly past Pareja.
Sampaoli's face was ashen, what was he kicking?
He can't stand it anymore. With this defense, you still want to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League? This is simply courting death!
After passing Pareja, Salah directly swung his legs and volleyed the football towards the Sevilla goal. The ball was very fast. Rico reacted quickly in front of the goal and immediately fell to the ground and dived sideways, but he did not touch the football at all. The football flew quickly into Sevilla's goal.
