503: Sure enough, you like golf!

October 14, 2017, Tongyi Stadium, South London, England.

What is happening here today is a highlight of the 8th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season. The two sides are Crystal Palace and Chelsea.

The Tongyi Stadium was overcrowded today, and there were also a lot of visiting fans who came to cheer for their team. Chelsea fans attached great importance to this game. They came to watch the team defeat Crystal Palace. To avenge Crystal Palace for stealing their Premier League title last season.

Chelsea must win today!

When Conte walked into the stadium, his face was very serious. He knew the importance of this game very well.

Looking at Tong Yi's extended right hand, Conti looked at Tong Yi and then stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Tong Yi.

Tong Yi said sincerely, "Welcome to Tong Yi Stadium!"

Conte couldn't help but take a closer look at Tong Yi. It was obvious that he was shocked by the name of this stadium.

To be honest, he has seen too many teams named after people, but most of them have passed away, and a small number of them are now very old. How could someone like Tong Yi be named after someone who is still in active service?

This guy Tong Yi is indeed ahead of all coaches.

To be honest, Conte was so excited at the thought of a stadium being named after him that he even trembled with excitement.

It's a pity that he is not as lucky as Tong Yi.

He really envied Tong Yi so much.

Of course, Tong Yi is also a great guy and has won dozens of championships in his career. Moreover, he has won twenty or thirty championships at Crystal Palace. He is the most successful head coach of Crystal Palace. He even helped Crystal Palace, which was established for more than 100 years, win the first English national top league in the history of the club, and even led the team twice. Won the Champions League and multiple league titles, and led the team to a Grand Slam last season.

It is truly well deserved to name this stadium after such a legendary champion godfather.

Conte stared at Tong Yi quietly and said secretly in his heart, "My name will also become the name of a stadium in the future. I, Conte, will be no worse than you, Tong Yi!"

Then, Conte turned around and left, heading to his coaching bench.

"Dear viewers and fans, the players from both sides have now appeared, and the game is about to start. Now let's introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides today." BBC Sports commentator Mortensen immediately said.

Today’s starting lineup is as follows

Home team Crystal Palace, head coach Tong Yi, formation 4213

goalkeeper Maignan

The back four from left to right is Cancelo, Upamecano, Van Dijk and Carvajal.

Double defensive midfielder Casemiro and Kante

Courtois

Back three from left to right Cahill, Luiz and Azpilicueta

Four midfielders

Three forwards from left to right: Bale, Lukaku and Willian

Looking at Chelsea's lineup, Tong Yi secretly thought that this was indeed the case.

As expected, Conte still chose a three-back formation, which was a tactic they settled on last season. Here, he understands the three-back tactic and plays it very skillfully. This season, he will naturally continue to use this tactical system.

Conte's tactic is quite powerful. He also won the championship in Italy.

Last season, Chelsea finished second in both the Premier League and FA Cup, which shows that his approach is also feasible in England, and it is very good. Naturally, he wanted to stick to this tactic, and it was the same tactic today.

beep!

At this time, the referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game.

The cheers from the fans on both sides were very loud and loud, and the whole stadium was boiling.

Chelsea kicked off first!

Chelsea is also a fan of high-pressing tactics, so they pressed heavily at the beginning of the game without any intention of testing.

Obviously, Conte feels that he knows Crystal Palace very well.

After all, after coming to the Premier League, the opponent he studied the most was Crystal Palace. He now knows the Crystal Palace well, so there is no need to test it.

The game entered the bayonet stage at the beginning.

The two teams were strangulating and pressing in the midfield, and the offensive and defensive transitions were also very frequent. You would steal the ball and I would steal the ball. But to be honest, neither team had a good opportunity after playing for nearly 10 minutes. This game looks very lively, but it's not threatening enough or exciting enough.

The two teams fought hand-to-hand in the midfield, with neither team threatening the other's goal.

However, fans from both sides were very dedicated and shouted excitedly. They even felt excited and worried. After all, this game was really important, especially for Chelsea. They couldn't afford to lose this game.

At this moment, Kanter in midfield suddenly stole the ball.

Buck York was shocked. He immediately reached out to pull, but the football had already been pushed out by Kanter, and then he fell down.

Bakayoko immediately raised his hand to signal his foul!

Yes, there were a lot of fouls between the two teams during this period, which is one of the reasons why the two teams have not had many opportunities so far.

But at this time, the referee directly made a gesture that was beneficial to the offense and did not stop the game at all.

Chelsea fans were very angry and furiously criticized the referee of this game.

The Chelsea players in the stadium were also very nervous and worried.

However, they still actively defend, intercept and press.

The football rolled to De Bruyne's feet, and Fabregas immediately rushed back to intercept De Bruyne. De Bruyne, on the other hand, did not stop the ball at all. Instead, he swung his leg seemingly to pass back, but in fact, he dunked behind him. Then he turned around quickly and directly avoided Cesc Fabregas' press. Hold the ball forward.

hiss!

The Chelsea fans at the scene all took a breath, it was a bit dangerous!

Browne, who was catching up with the football, glanced at the Chelsea goal and seemed about to shoot with a kick. Chelsea center back Luiz immediately rushed out and pounced on De Bruyne. De Bruyne made a quick pick at this time and sent the football directly into Chelsea's penalty area.

There was a bit of a void in the middle as Luiz had stormed out.

Danger!

Chelsea fans screamed in horror at this time, and Conte on the sidelines immediately stood up and stared at the stadium.

c. Ronaldo rushed forward quickly and rushed into the penalty area. Before Chelsea's two central defenders came up to guard, he directly headed the ball towards the goal.

Courtois, who rushed out, was instantly panicked and bared his teeth!

Courtois didn't expect that Ronaldo would suddenly head the ball directly into the goal. He was a little unprepared, so he panicked and showed no plan.

The Chelsea fans at the scene were in despair after watching this ball.

The football flew quickly over Courtois' head and towards the goal behind him. All Chelsea fans were desperate and felt that the ball had no chance.

With a clang, the football hit the crossbar of the center goal hard, and then bounced directly off the baseline.

The ball did not go in, and Crystal Palace created a good opportunity. Unfortunately, they were a little unlucky and the football flew directly out of the baseline. It's a pity, this is really, really a pity.

Tong Yi on the sidelines also felt very sad and kept spreading his hands to express regret.

Ronaldo in the stadium also held his head in his hands, expressing disbelief.

The main reason for this goal was that Ronaldo was impromptu and a little hasty, so he did not control the angle of the shot well. He himself thought that this goal was definitely a goal, but he didn't know that it was slightly higher, causing Crystal Palace to miss an excellent opportunity.

"It's a pity, this ball is really, really a pity. De Bruyne's pass is so wonderful. And Ronaldo's forward penetration is also very timely, and his sudden flash of handling is also very good. , It’s a pity that I just lacked a bit of luck.” Mortensen was almost beating his chest, it was really a pity.

Not to mention the Crystal Palace fans at the scene, what a great opportunity this was, they were filled with regret.

The Chelsea people were quite frightened!

Of course, Lukaku sneered and thought to himself, "That's it?"

Conte immediately roared crazily into the stadium, reminding Chelsea players to pay attention to defense and not to give Crystal Palace such a chance again. If Crystal Palace is allowed to come here a few more times, Chelsea will be doomed.

The Chelsea fans in the stands also realized how powerful Crystal Palace was. This game was very dangerous. He immediately made a more enthusiastic voice to support the Chelsea players and cheer for the Chelsea players!

In the goal kick, Courtois made a long pass and drove the football away!

The football flew quickly into the Crystal Palace half. Lukaku in the frontcourt immediately jumped up high, and then the football was pushed out by Van Dijk who jumped up behind him, which was regarded as a clearance. But the clearance was not far away, and the football fell directly to the feet of Fabregas. He immediately swept the football diagonally and quickly swept the football to the wing.

Bell held the ball on the wing, and the Chelsea fans immediately became excited.

Bale is very powerful. With his son Ah He holding the ball in this position, your Crystal Palace will be doomed. It is really doomed!

After Bale took the ball, he immediately quickly took the ball and headed towards the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Bell didn't move much with his feet, but he directly destroyed Crystal Palace's wing defense by simply changing direction and accelerating. This guy's speed and impact are really outstanding.

The expressions of the Crystal Palace fans at the scene changed. It’s dangerous!

Bell left Carvajal behind and drove directly into the penalty area to threaten Maignan's defense.

Bell and Carvajal both played for Real Madrid and were teammates, so Bell knows Carvajal relatively well. So this breakthrough was really successful. He got rid of Carvajal directly and entered the penalty area to face Crystal Palace goalkeeper Maignan.

Lukaku, who followed up in the middle, raised his hands crazily, signaling Bell to pass the ball. He just had to pass the football over and the ball would be there.

In fact, Van Dijk is closely following Lukaku, and Lukaku has almost no chance.

But Lukaku just raised his hands desperately to demand, as if to say pass the ball to me, I will give you a miracle, the ball will definitely be scored.

But when Bale, who was holding the ball, saw Van Dijk next to Lukaku, he gave up his plan to pass the ball directly to Lukaku. But she still took advantage of Lukaku, pretending to sweep across the middle, and feinted Upamecano in the penalty area.

Then Bell didn't stop, just swung his leg and hit the football hard, and the football shot out quickly.

The football was as fast as a cannonball in the early Tang Dynasty, even tearing the air.

Danger!

Maignan reacted quickly in front of the goal, but still did not touch the football. The football shot quickly from the near post into the Crystal Palace goal.

There was dead silence in the audience, followed by crazy cheers from the Chelsea fans!

One to zero, Chelsea, playing away from home, took the lead, and it was Bale who came close to the ball!

Conte on the sidelines jumped up excitedly, and then punched the sky hard, as if he had an aura that was bound to blow a big hole in the sky. Bell, who scored a goal in the stadium, rushed out quickly, then came to the corner kick area and directly made a golfing celebration. The Chelsea fans in the stands were stunned for a while. Sure enough, you like golf.
