129: Wasted opportunities will suffer backlash
Cahill, Ivanovic and Lewis all came to the penalty area of Crystal Palace. The defensive players of Crystal Palace paid great attention to it and rushed forward to defend.
Oscar glanced at the penalty area and then arced the football to the back of the penalty area.
Cahill, Ivanovic and Lewis all rushed towards the front point, attracting some defensive players.
The football flew directly to the back point.
Torres, who was at the back, jumped up high and shook his head to meet the ball.
Boom!
The football was pushed out of the penalty area by Pogba.
The siege is saved, Crystal Palace is saved.
The Crystal Palace people immediately launched a rapid counterattack.
Unfortunately, the ball was intercepted by Ramirez. He shot a long shot directly from the front of the penalty area. The ball roared out and shot towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Benitez leaned forward excitedly.
Snapped!
The football was thrown out by Edward who jumped up in front of the goal.
During this period, Chelsea's offense was quite fierce. Chelsea's offensive players are still very capable and talented. Crystal Palace's defense is very good, but there are also some loopholes that have been caught by opponents.
Campbell said, "Chelsea people are really strong!"
Vieri immediately said, "But we at Crystal Palace are not without a chance!"
Tong Yi nodded slightly, that was indeed the case.
Crystal Palace still has a chance.
Corner kick, Chelsea continued to get a corner kick.
Oscar drove the football into the penalty area with an arc. Van Dijk, who was in front of the penalty area, jumped up high and shook his head, throwing the football directly out of the penalty area.
Kanter received the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and suddenly Marseille made a lateral spin to avoid the rushing Ramirez.
Kanter immediately pushed the football to the wing, and Zaha on the wing received the ball.
However, Zaha made a low-level mistake of stopping the ball and missed a very good counterattack opportunity.
What a pity, what a pity!
The Crystal Palace people missed a very good opportunity to counterattack!
Tong Yi looked at the stadium and saw that Chelsea's offensive power was indeed very strong. No wonder Benitez would attack like crazy. However, Chelsea's defensive pressure in the backcourt is indeed very high.
Crystal Palace has a chance!
At this moment, Tong Yi immediately came to the sidelines and reminded the Crystal Palace players to take turns attacking Louis and pay more attention to Louis' position, so that Crystal Palace can create opportunities.
Yes, Lewis's weakness of poor positional sense must be exploited.
The Crystal Palace players nodded and said they understood.
The game restarted, and Crystal Palace obviously stepped up its attack. And he still attacked Louis frequently, which made Benitez on the sidelines raise his eyebrows. He saw Tong Yi's thoughts. You want to take advantage of Louis' sense of position
Bad weakness?
Benitez shook his head slightly and did not pay attention.
Louis' positional sense is indeed not particularly good, but it is not too bad either.
What's more important is that Ivanovic and Cahill behind Louis can fill the gap behind Louis very well. They will not give the Crystal Palace people a chance. Chelsea will definitely win this game.
Unfortunately, Benitez miscalculated the abilities of Cahill and Ivanovic, the tacit understanding between the three, and the strength of the Crystal Palace players.
However, at this time, there seems to be no problem at all.
Chelsea's defense was still very tight and did not give the Crystal Palace people too many opportunities.
Moreover, Chelsea's offense was quite fierce at this time.
On the court, Hazard, Oscar, Juan Mata and Ramirez took turns attacking the Crystal Palace defense. The Crystal Palace goal was in danger!
"Sure enough, there is still a big gap between Crystal Palace and Chelsea. The English Championship team is indeed far behind the Premier League team. In this game, the Crystal Palace people have almost no chance. Chelsea should Whoever wins this game, just watch, it won’t be long before the Chelsea man scores a goal!” Mortensen said.
Obviously, he is attracted to Chelsea.
Even Shearer thinks so. "Indeed, so far it has always been Chelsea who have taken the initiative on the court. Moreover, Crystal Palace's high-position pressing speed does not seem to be of much use in front of Chelsea. Chelsea's offense is really too good." It’s so fierce, especially on the wing, and the Crystal Palace people may not be able to withstand it!”
At this moment, Chelsea's attack came again.
Azar!
It was Hazard who was attacking with the ball. Hazard looked directly at Zhang Linpeng in front of him with the ball, and then quickly cut inward laterally. After attracting Zhang Linpeng's change of center of gravity, he quickly changed direction laterally, allowing the winger to accelerate and break through, directly throwing Zhang Linpeng away.
Zhang Linpeng immediately turned around quickly and chased after him.
Zhang Linpeng's speed is not very full, but there is still a gap between him and Hazard. But Zhang Linpeng did not give up. When he saw Hazard about to cut horizontally into the penalty area, Zhang Linpeng suddenly slid over and tackled the football fiercely.
Unexpectedly, this guy Hazard suddenly stopped and smashed the ball behind him, and directly avoided Zhang Linpeng's tackle. Then he raised his head and glanced at Torres' position in the penalty area. This caused the Crystal Palace defensive players who were about to pounce to cover up the defense to immediately stop and give up the idea of pounce. They all paid attention to Torres's defense after getting up and did not give Torres any chance. Opportunity to catch the ball and shoot.
Who knows, this guy Hazard had no intention of passing the ball at all. He looked up to see if he was making a deceptive fake move.
Just make it. The Crystal Palace defenders mistakenly thought he was going to pass the ball, but in fact he quickly moved the football to the center and then quickly entered the Crystal Palace penalty area.
cunning!
Hazard is so cunning.
The Chelsea fans at the scene were very excited and excited, and they were shouting Hazard's name crazily. Because they saw the hope of scoring a goal, this was a good opportunity!
Azar is awesome!
Seeing Hazard cutting inside with the ball, Crystal Palace's defensive players immediately rushed over and intercepted Hazard.
Even goalkeeper Edouard quickly moved over and blocked the near corner of the goal, preventing Hazard from shooting directly.
The defensive reaction of the Crystal Palace people was very fast, and Hazard was soon denied the chance to take a comfortable shot.
But Hazard is a very talented person and he is very brave. He immediately threw his legs and forced a shot. .??.
The Crystal Palace defensive players immediately shifted their focus and pounced on him.
Who knew that Hazard had no intention of shooting at all, but faked a move to deceive the Crystal Palace defenders and goalkeeper. He flicked his ankle covertly and quickly crossed the football into the middle of the penalty area.
The football quickly rolled to the feet of Torres in the middle space!
And in front of Torres is a big empty goal!
Chance!
This is an excellent opportunity!
The Chelsea fans who came from afar screamed with excitement, jumped wildly and cheered that the ball was achieved.
Even Benitez on the sidelines was so excited that he clenched his fists and waved his hand to the sky.
Yes, there is this ball!
Tong Yi on the sidelines tightened his pupils when he saw this, it was dangerous!
Torres spotted the football rolling over, but he had no intention of stopping it because he had already felt the Crystal Palace center back Van Dijk behind him rushing towards him quickly. If he stops the ball, Van Dijk can get close to him and destroy the ball. He didn't have time to stop the ball, so he met the ball and shot it immediately.
Torres shot immediately, giving the Crystal Palace people no chance to defend.
At the same time, Torres did not give Crystal Palace goalkeeper Edward any chance!
Torres twisted his body directly and pushed the football directly into the lower corner of the far end of the goal.
In this case, no matter how quick Edward's reaction is, he will not be able to save the ball because there is not enough time and distance.
This goal will definitely be scored!
Torres, who shot the goal, raised his right fist high to celebrate the goal.
However, under the expectant eyes of all Chelsea people, the football slightly missed the far end of the goal post and rolled out of the baseline!
The ball didn't go in!
Torres failed to score an empty goal!
hiss!
All the Chelsea fans at the scene were in disbelief, and then they cried and roared, damn Torres!
This is not the first time!
They were very desperate and speechless!
Can't you seize such an opportunity? Torres, are you a forward or a defender?
"Hiss! This... missed an empty goal? This is really beyond our expectations. Torres, the former top scorer in the Premier League, couldn't even score such a single goal. This..." Mortensen said. Don't know what to say?
Torres himself was stunned and couldn't believe it.
Is this a self-made shot?
Chelsea players are very desperate, what a good opportunity, what a good opportunity!
Benitez on the sidelines was speechless when he saw this and almost cried!
Can't you seize such an opportunity?
Hazard stared at Torres for a long time and couldn't say a word for a long time!
I have created many opportunities, but Torres didn't even seize such an opportunity. What kind of opportunity can Torres seize?
Azar suddenly felt confused and lacked confidence!
Can Chelsea win this game?
The Crystal Palace players ignored this and quickly launched an attack. Edward in the backcourt made a long pass directly to the frontcourt. I don't know if it was influenced by Torres, but Chelsea center back Cahill missed the right spot when he headed the ball, and the ball rolled directly to Murray's feet.
Murray didn't give Ivanovic a chance, he pushed the football back directly.
Pogba followed up without saying a word. He rushed up to meet the ball and hit the goal with a heavy kick.
Chelsea's defensive players did not react at all. They did not expect that Pogba would suddenly take a long shot from this position. They all thought that Pogba would stop the football and then look for opportunities to organize an attack. Because that's what Pogba did before.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Pogba suddenly changed his offensive method, and suddenly fired a long-range shot with thunder.
Chelsea's defenders didn't expect it and didn't block or intercept at all.
Pogba's long-range shot is very comfortable and sudden.
Even the goalkeeper Turnbull in front of the goal did not expect that after waiting for the football to fly out, Turnbull reacted and Crystal Palace completed the shot.
The speed of the ball is very fast, like lightning!
When the Turnbull reactor arrived, it was already too late to react. However, Turnbull immediately pounced out, but as soon as his body flew up and his hand stretched out, the football flew straight into the upper right corner of the Chelsea goal.
The ball went in!
All the Chelsea fans in the audience were dumbfounded. What the hell is this?
