536: The second London derby in the new Premier League season

November 5, 2017, Wembley Stadium, London, England.

Yes, Tottenham Hotspur play at home today.

However, Tottenham Hotspur's home stadium, White Hart Lane, has been demolished and rebuilt and is still under construction. So they still play their home games in the rented home stadium of Wembley Stadium.

It can be said that the home stadium of Crystal Palace has been expanded very quickly. It has been put into use this season and has also become the venue for the final of this season's UEFA Champions League.

Tottenham Hotspur's new home is expected to be put into use next season.

After all, Tottenham Hotspur's top management is also preparing to finalize Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium and then apply for a venue for the UEFA Champions League final.

However, it is obvious that this is still difficult.

After all, the UEFA Champions League final has been held in the UK for two consecutive seasons, last year at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, and this year at the Tongyi Stadium in London, England. Does it have to be at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England next year?

Obviously this is unrealistic.

Many media reporters have even stated that the UEFA Champions League finals should not be held in the UK in the next three to five years. However, Tottenham Hotspur executives do not care about this and are still preparing to apply to UEFA.

As for the results, there is basically no good news.

However, Tottenham Hotspur fans are buying into it and think they will succeed.

After all, why can Crystal Palace do it but our Tottenham Hotspur can’t?

Just wait and see, the UEFA Champions League finals will definitely be played at our Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the next few years.

Crystal Palace guys, you can't always be the best.

It can be seen that Tottenham Hotspur people have a very strong sense of competition. They are eyeing Crystal Palace.

Naturally, they also hope that Tottenham Hotspur can win this game.

Tottenham Hotspur must win this London derby.

They, Tottenham Hotspur, are the kings of London.

Today, a very large number of Tottenham Hotspur fans came to the scene and filled the entire stadium. At this time, they were all waving flags in their hands, singing excitedly, and cheering for their home team.

At present, they are in very good condition and they believe that their players will definitely win.

Of course, Crystal Palace fans also came to the away game today.

After all, they are all teams from the same city. Crystal Palace fans are not far from Wembley Stadium, so many of them bought tickets to watch the game and support their team. But, let’s be honest, there aren’t many tickets. So not many Crystal Palace fans entered the scene.

For this game, Tottenham Hotspur did not release many away tickets.

Crystal Palace fans were speechless.

In their view, Tottenham Hotspur people did this out of fear.

So, the scene

The Crystal Palace fans were in high spirits, waving flags and cheering for their team. They also believe in Tong Yi and the players of Crystal Palace. They firmly believe that Crystal Palace will win this game.

The Crystal Palace fans sang in unison. There were not many of them, but they had enough momentum.

It can be seen that Crystal Palace fans are also full of expectations for this game.

"Come on Crystal Palace! Crystal Palace must win! Long live Crystal Palace!" Crystal Palace fans screamed excitedly.

At this moment, players from both sides entered the stadium, and the game was about to begin.

BBC Sports commentator Mortensen immediately took this time to introduce the players of both sides to the lineup of the two sides. The starting lineups of both sides are as follows.

Home team Tottenham Hotspur, head coach Pochettino, formation 3511

Single attacking midfielder De Bruyne

The three forwards from left to right Salah, Ronaldo and Mbappe

To be honest, everyone was shocked when they saw this lineup, including Tong Yi.

Because, Tottenham Hotspur did not start Ali in this game, and Ali did not even appear in the squad. This is indeed unexpected. Before this, the outside media and celebrities believed that the key to Tottenham Hotspur's game lay in Ali's performance. If Alli can continue his performance against Real Madrid in midweek, Tottenham Hotspur may win this game.

Well now, Ali was not included in the squad for this game.

why is that?

The Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene were all confused. They didn't know why Ali was included in the squad today? I haven’t heard that Ali has accumulated red and yellow cards and suspensions? How could Ali not be included in the roster for such an important game? Pochettino, what are you doing?

Of course, some people suspect that Ali may be injured, so there is no way to enter the squad for this game, and he has no choice but to miss this game. But Tottenham Hotspur people felt very surprised, because they had never heard of Ali being injured before? Was it a sudden injury?

Or is there something else going on here?

Tong Yi also turned his head to look at Tottenham Hotspur's head coach Erectile Dysfunction in confusion. He wrinkled slightly.

"It doesn't seem like you're giving up on the rhythm of this game, is it? Does Ali really seem to be injured?"

If this is the case, this is really good news for Crystal Palace.

At this moment, the Crystal Palace fans became excited and sang loudly to their teammates.

In the eyes of Crystal Palace fans, this game is God helping them, and Crystal Palace will definitely win this game.

No matter what, this is good news for Crystal Palace.

However, Tong Yi still reminded the Crystal Palace players not to underestimate their opponents. Maybe Ali's absence will not have a big impact on Tottenham Hotspur, and Tottenham Hotspur can even perform better. So, don’t worry about this matter, just work hard!

We take this game seriously, we want Crystal Palace to win this London derby.

Inside the stadium, the Crystal Palace players had somewhat suppressed the Tottenham Hotspur players in terms of morale. This made the Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene very unhappy and worried.

At this moment, Mortensen suddenly said, "We suddenly received news that Alli of Tottenham Hotspur was indeed injured, so he did not appear in the squad for this game. However, We have not yet received clear information about what kind of injury he suffered and when he was injured. However, he is indeed injured. This is great news for Crystal Palace. They are missing another player in this game. Opponent. No doubt, Crystal Palace can easily win this game."

Shhhhhhh!

The Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene naturally booed Mortensen and the others crazily. They all felt that even without Alli, their Tottenham Hotspur victory over Crystal Palace would be easy. Why do you say that we are Tottenham? Tottenham are destined to lose? Tottenham Hotspur must win this game!

It can be seen that Tottenham Hotspur fans are full of confidence.

However, every Tottenham Hotspur player in the stadium was very serious and very serious. It was obvious that they knew what kind of challenges they were going to face in this game. The absence of Ali will indeed have a great impact on them.

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

The first to kick off was Tottenham Hotspur, who were playing at home. They launched an attack as soon as they came up, and the two wing-backs also boldly pressed forward!

Did you see that the three-centre-back tactic is really becoming more and more popular in the Premier League at this stage, and many clubs use this three-centre-back system. The same is true for Tottenham Hotspur today. It seems that Conte and others have brought a lot of new things to the Premier League.

And in the words of many famous players, three central defenders is a new trend. Just like 4231 back then, many teams in world football will use this formation. For now, Tottenham Hotspur's use of this tactic is relatively successful, after all, their results are so good.

As soon as the game started, Tottenham Hotspur directly passed the half and rushed to the front of Crystal Palace's penalty area.

This is a more dangerous situation. Crystal Palace's high pressure was suppressed. This shows that Tottenham Hotspur really has something, and they really have the strength to challenge Crystal Palace.

At this moment, the football quickly rolled to Eriksson's feet. But Eriksson pretended to break through with the ball, but he quickly pushed the football to the side and gave it to Rose who was covering the side.

Yes, the position of the two wing-backs in the three-center-back formation is very important, and it is also a link that must be utilized well. Rose seems to be shouldering more offensive tasks in Tottenham Hotspur's lineup. At this time, he immediately swung his legs and pretended to cross, then suddenly cut in and dunked into the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Facing Crystal Palace's defensive player Van Dijk, Rose didn't seem to dare to make a big move. He immediately knocked the football with his heel and gave the football to Eriksson. Eriksen didn't stop the ball, and quickly passed the ball to the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace with a direct corner pass - the back point!

The Crystal Palace defensive players were a little taken away by Van Dijk, but Son Heung-min who rushed in was closely followed by Kanter, and Son Heung-min had no chance. However, Aurier, who rushed in from the wing, got a chance and shot directly with his legs. The football flew straight to the lower corner of the near post of the Crystal Palace goal.

The ball speed of this kick is very fast, like a bolt of lightning.

The Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene jumped up excitedly, stretched their necks, and stared at the flying football with eyes full of anticipation. Webster and others in the stands also stood up. They all felt that the ball should be there, and God would not help the Chinese people!

Everyone in the audience was staring at the flying football in anticipation.

With a snap, Maignan saved the ball from the front of the goal with one palm and saved the goal!

Seeing this, the Crystal Palace fans were very excited and applauded one after another, giving their applause to Maignan. Maignan is really good. Without him, Crystal Palace would have dropped the ball.

Pochettino felt it was a pity, but they still had a chance.

I hope the players can seize the opportunity this time.

Corner kick, Tottenham Hotspur got a corner kick opportunity, and the team's high points rushed into the Crystal Palace penalty area. At this time, Rose glanced at the penalty area, then suddenly accelerated and sprinted, rushed to the football, and then quickly drove the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area with an arc.

Kane, Dill and others rushed to the front point.

And Vertonghen in the middle jumped up high and hit the football hard with his head. The football shot quickly towards the upper right corner of the Crystal Palace goal.

All the Crystal Palace fans in the audience were instantly horrified, because in their eyes, the ball was probably going to fly into the Crystal Palace goal.

Are we at Crystal Palace about to concede a goal?
