667: Today’s Happy Prince is not truly happy
Manchester City fans instantly became upset. What are you playing?
Is everyone except Aguero sleepwalking?
Guardiola on the sidelines also criticized the Manchester City players, and then reminded the Manchester City players to continue attacking.
The Manchester City players nodded and expressed their understanding.
But, to be honest, they are also under a lot of pressure at this time.
They all thought that this game was at their own pace and under their control, but little did they know that their Manchester City team still lost the ball first.
Crystal Palace is indeed very strong this season.
The Manchester City players were serious.
It seems like they won't give up so easily in this game.
The game restarted and Manchester City stepped up their attack.
Everyone is united in strengthening the attack.
The strength of the Manchester City team was revealed instantly, and even the powerful Crystal Palace felt the pressure.
Crystal Palace were a bit overpowered at this point.
The Crystal Palace fans in the stands were all nervous, and they had to say that the Manchester City team was indeed very strong. No wonder they can achieve such good results in the league. Crystal Palace is still in danger in this game.
Crystal Palace fans immediately cheered for the team and boosted morale.
However, Tong Yi on the sidelines reminded the Crystal Palace people to focus on defense first, increase the pressure, and not let the Manchester City people handle the ball easily.
After all, these Manchester City players are very capable of handling the ball. If they are given a comfortable environment and allowed to operate skillfully, Crystal Palace will indeed be in trouble.
Kruger also noticed it. After seeing Tong Yi's eyes, he immediately nodded.
He immediately came to the sidelines to remind the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to defense.
At this moment, football suddenly came to Aguero's feet.
Van Dijk is facing a formidable enemy and is ready to intercept the shot.
But at this moment, Aguero suddenly knocked the football back. Goretzka, who followed, directly opened his bow and arrow, and shot violently from a distance with his legs. The football roared out, like a meteor piercing the clouds in the night sky, heading straight for the Crystal Palace goal.
Danger!
In front of the goal, Maignan immediately jumped into the air and tried his best to pounce sideways.
It's a pity that he still hasn't touched football. Manchester City fans are ecstatic!
Then, the football was slightly above the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
The smiles on the faces of Manchester City fans froze instantly, and some even had extremely distorted faces, making them very hideous and ugly.
What a pity, very good opportunity!
Gretzka was also furious.
This is indeed a good opportunity, but it is a pity that he did not seize it. It is really a pity.
Aguero came to Goretzka and quickly patted Goretzka on the shoulder to express comfort.
Bang bang bang!
The Manchester City fans at the scene and Guardiola on the sidelines gave applause to Goretzka, Aguero and others. They were very satisfied with the players' performance and reminded them to keep up the good work!
There is still plenty of time in the game, and they have plenty of opportunities to equalize the score.
The game restarted. Crystal Palace launched an attack but the ball was intercepted by Manchester City midway.
The Manchester City side immediately advanced the attack quickly.
With a bang, the football at Fernandinho's feet was directly shoveled away by Kanter.
The two teams' possession of the ball switched back and forth in the midfield. The pace of the game was so fast that the fans at the scene had their necks sprained.
There is no way that the offensive and defensive transition rhythm of both teams is very fast.
And at this moment, the Manchester City team suddenly made a long diagonal pass from the backcourt and directly found Sterling, the King of England and the Happy Prince of England, on the wing!
Yes, Sterling is in the starting lineup for this game.
In the previous games, his performance was average, his presence was not very strong, and his appearance rate was not high.
This all made some Crystal Palace fans forget that Manchester City started Sterling.
However, as soon as Sterling caught up with the ball at this time, the Crystal Palace fans became serious and nervous.
Although this Sterling is the Happy Prince, he should not be underestimated!
This guy is really happy when he is happy, and he is really fierce when he is fierce!
Who knows whether Sterling today is a happy Sterling or a fierce Sterling? Therefore, the Crystal Palace defensive players are here to prepare!
Then, Crystal Palace's full-back Carvajal was instantly passed by Sterling's change of direction and passed the ball.
This guy is indeed very capable!
Carvajal's defensive ability is very good, but he still failed to stop Sterling.
Sterling immediately cut inside with the ball and entered the Crystal Palace penalty area.
Van Dijk was directly across Sterling's path, and his position was closer to the goal.
Obviously, the first priority of defense is to keep opponents away from their own goal, or to protect their own goal.
Therefore, Van Dijk still blocked the near corner at this time.
This guy Sterling suddenly swung his legs and pretended to shoot, then quickly passed the ball laterally, and passed Rudiger and Cancelo thrillingly. This guy directly dribbled the ball horizontally from the left to the right.
However, the moment he passed Cancelo, he suddenly took action and quickly fired the football towards the reverse lower corner. The ball was moving very fast, and it was too late for Maignan, who was moving sideways, to stop and dive sideways. The inertia was huge, but Maignan still dived sideways and stretched out his arms to get the ball!
It's a pity that Maignan didn't get the football at all!
clang!
football ruthless
The ball hit the inside of the reverse goal post and bounced quickly into the goal.
The ball went in!
The Manchester City fans instantly went crazy, singing and dancing in the stands, very excited.
If you hit a goalpost on us, we will give you a goalpost in return! .??.??
Manchester City fans are really happy and excited.
They feel that their Manchester City team is really sure to win today's game, and no one can stop their Manchester City team from moving forward!
This ball is very exciting!
Sterling, who put on an excellent personal show, was also very excited. He rushed out and knelt down near the corner to celebrate. The Manchester City fans at the scene shouted Sterling's name excitedly, very excited.
Today's Sterling is fierce Sterling!
Great job Sterling!
Guardiola on the sidelines also applauded involuntarily and gave the applause to Sterling. Sterling is indeed very powerful today and performed very well. Guardiola is also very happy.
He hopes that the little guy Sterling will continue to put pressure on Crystal Palace. Only in this way will Manchester City have a chance of winning this game.
At this time, he couldn't help but look up at the big screen. Thirty minutes had passed in the first half of the game, and the score was one to one.
This result is still acceptable to Guardiola.
However, the Manchester City players still have to work hard, because his goal is not to get a draw, but Manchester City must win this game. After all, there are thousands of eyes in England staring at their Manchester City team. If their Manchester City team cannot defeat Crystal Palace, then it will be almost impossible for Manchester City to win the championship this season.
Therefore, Guardiola hopes that Manchester City players will not be complacent and continue to attack.
Tong Yi couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this. They still looked down on their opponents for this goal.
The Crystal Palace defensive players still looked down upon Sterling a little. They all thought that Sterling today was a happy Sterling, so on the defensive side... Tong Yi kept shaking his head, not satisfied with the team's performance today.
He immediately came to the sidelines and reminded the Crystal Palace players in the stadium to be more serious when defending and not to give the Manchester City people any opportunities to take advantage of.
The opportunity to concede the ball today should not have been given to the Manchester City people.
The Crystal Palace players nodded one after another, expressing their understanding that this was their problem, and they would not give the Manchester City people such an opportunity again.
Tong Yi nodded slightly, expressing his belief and hoping that they would continue their efforts and win this game.
The game restarted, and Crystal Palace intended to strengthen its attack, but the ball was quickly intercepted.
Today, Manchester City played very proactively and pressed very hard. This midfield steal explained everything.
Crystal Palace fans at the scene
They are all extremely nervous. It is actually more dangerous for this game to continue like this.
Come on, Crystal Palace!
Soon, Crystal Palace also successfully stole the ball.
De Bruyne in the midfield directly sent the football to the feet of Ronaldo in the frontcourt with a through ball. The Portuguese did not give Manchester City center back Otamendi a chance and directly swung his leg and violently volleyed. The football whizzed by. , slightly missed the goal.
It's really a pity.
This goal was a good opportunity, and the Crystal Palace fans at the scene felt very sorry for it.
However, their emotions had not yet calmed down, and Manchester City's offense here pressed to the edge of the Crystal Palace penalty area.
After passing the ball continuously, the football came to Sterling's feet again.
Crystal Palace's defenders were overwhelmed.
There is indeed something about this Sterling, and everyone is seriously guarding against Sterling's breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, another guy suddenly made a small pass and passed the football directly to the other side. Sane stopped the football and made a quick pass. The football flew quickly into the Crystal Palace penalty area. Unfortunately, Van Dijk directly overpowered Aguero and pushed the football out of the penalty area.
Fortunately, the ball is still in Manchester City's hands, and Manchester City still dominates Crystal Palace.
This made the Manchester City fans breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately they did not let the Crystal Palace people counterattack.
At this moment, after the football was passed continuously, it came directly to Goretzka's feet.
After Goretzka got the ball, he immediately moved forward with the ball and tried to break through Kanter, but Kanter intercepted the ball.
However, football felt the foot of Walker coming up from the wing.
Walker glanced at the Crystal Palace penalty area at this time, and then directly passed the ball in an arc, accurately passing the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area, and passed it to the position between the two central defenders Rudiger and Van Dijk. These two were not given any chance.
The Manchester City fans at the scene were very excited and jumped up excitedly.
Aguero rushed up from the middle of the penalty area and smashed the football flying over, and the football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal. To be honest, the speed of the ball was not very fast, but the angle was very tricky, flying directly into the blind spot in the direction of Maignan's movement.
The speed of the ball was so fast that Maignan in front of the goal had no choice but to watch the football fly into the goal.
The entire Tongyi Stadium was completely silent!
No one expected that Manchester City, playing away from home, would overtake the score and lead Crystal Palace at Tongyi Stadium.
Tong Yi frowned when he saw this.
Sure enough, Manchester City was in really good shape in this game and was not easy to deal with at all.
At this time, the first half of the game is about to end, and it is very likely that Manchester City will take the lead into the halftime break. This is not a good thing for Crystal Palace!
