After the players from both sides entered the stadium and completed a series of ceremonies, Tottenham Hotspur's Walker ran directly to Tong Yi and gave Tong Yi a hug.
Walker is very grateful to Tong Yi!
But Tong Yi discovered him at the beginning and made him play the main team at a very young age. He has grown very fast and is now England's top right back. He has also been selected for the England national team. It has also attracted the attention of Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea and other wealthy clubs are paying attention, and it is said that Manchester City now wants to recruit Walker into their lineup.
Tong Yi smiled slightly and said to Walker, "Perform well, you are the best full-back in England, come on!"
Walker nodded firmly and ran across the court.
Sherwood looked at all this and raised his eyebrows slightly.
beep!
At this moment, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
The first to kick off is the home team Tottenham Hotspur.
In the first round of the match between the two sides, Crystal Palace defeated them 2-0 at home. In this game, Tottenham came to take revenge. So in this game, they really didn't have any tests and attacked hard from the beginning.
Sherwood is confident in his team's attacking capabilities.
Eriksen in the midfield is still very good at sorting out the offense, and he can also deliver good threatening balls. More importantly, he also has a very powerful long-range shot.
With Eriksen here, their team's results won't be too bad.
Coupled with two very good forwards on the front line, this is simply a perfect trident combination.
There are also two wing players who are very fast and can pass the ball. Their Tottenham Hotspur offense is very three-dimensional. With such an attacking combination, is there any problem for them to hit the big 4 in the Premier League?
And Bentaleb on the wing also has a certain ability to organize offense.
Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur have a dual-core midfielder.
How can such a team perform poorly?
Coupled with the two full-backs who have excellent assist ability, running ability and physical fitness, our Tottenham Hotspur's offensive power should be in the first echelon of the Premier League.
I really don’t know how Villas-Boas did it, so that Tottenham Hotspur is only ranked 7th in the Premier League.
No wonder the top management wants to fire Villas-Boas and replace him.
And those fans were really speechless, and they were still complaining about Boas!
With Tottenham Hotspur's current lineup configuration, ranking seventh in the league is the original sin. With this lineup, if it had been left to me from the beginning, Tottenham Hotspur would definitely be ranked in the top four in the league now.
Sherwood has that confidence.
At this time, Tottenham Hotspur's attack came directly to the left wing of Crystal Palace. Lennon glanced at the Crystal Palace penalty area, and then directly passed the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area.
The ball was very fast and had a very wide arc, directly bypassing Delaney at the front point.
With a bang, Adebayor in the middle hit the football hard, and the football quickly shot towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Header!
The speed of the ball is so fast, like lightning!
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were all intimidated. Danger!
Snapped!
At the critical moment, Edward rose into the air in front of the goal and lifted the football over the baseline with one palm.
Why!
The Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene were very sorry, and immediately gave Adebayor applause. This ball was well headed and full of threats. If it weren't for the god-level performance of the opponent's goalkeeper, this goal would undoubtedly have been scored.
Adebayor looks pretty good!
Corner kick, Tottenham Hotspur got a corner kick opportunity.
Eriksson came to the corner kick area and glanced into the penalty area. He saw Adebayor raising his hand for the ball in the penalty area. Without saying a word, he quickly drove the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area with a run-up and a curve ball.
In the penalty area, Adebayor came first, overpowering Delaney and hitting the football hard.
The football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.
The football flies straight to the upper right corner!
Danger!
This time the danger is extremely high!
The Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene jumped with excitement. This goal must be scored!
Snapped!
This sound was like a slap in the face, hitting all Tottenham Hotspur fans directly in the face. Edward once again taught them how to behave. When the football was about to fly into the goal, he used his fingertips to pull the football out. The football missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline again.
Sherwood on the sidelines also felt very sorry and regretful!
What a great opportunity!
Can't such a goal be scored? This Edouard Mendy is really too strong. It seems that it is useful for this guy to be so tall, he can catch this ball!
Although he felt regretful, Sherwood was still very happy and confident.
He stared closely at Adebayor on the court.
He really couldn't figure it out. Adebayor was so strong, why didn't Boas use it? If Adebayor had been used earlier, Tottenham Hotspur's results wouldn't be so bad, and Villas-Boas wouldn't have to be dismissed!
It seems that this guy Boas is more famous than his strength!
Sherwood has confirmed his idea that Adebayor must become the absolute main force for Tottenham Hotspur in the future.
If you don't use such a super forward, isn't this a waste of resources?
The corner kick is still Tottenham Hotspur's corner kick.
Eriksen aimed at Adebayor in the forward zone and passed the football to his head again.
However, the football was picked off halfway by Edward who rushed out. Then Edward launched a quick counterattack with a powerful hand throw. Salah on the wing received the football and immediately drove the ball forward at high speed.
But he only took two steps forward, and then made a long diagonal pass, passing the football quickly.
The Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene were instantly horrified.
This guy Salah has no intention of breaking through with the ball. He pretends to break through with the ball just to make Tottenham Hotspur's defensive players lean towards him, leaving the other side free.
As soon as the other side was freed up, Salah directly passed the ball diagonally, giving Tottenham no chance to rush in and intercept.
The football quickly crossed half of the field and came to Mane who was advancing in the space.
Single sword!
Crystal Palace went it alone!
Tottenham Hotspur's defense is like paper. With such a defense, do you still want to reach the top four? Let’s dream!
That's one of Tottenham's shortcomings.
That is, the offensive ability is very strong and there are many offensive personnel. The problem is that when they attack, there are not enough defensive players at the back. As a result, their goal is directly exposed to Mane's gun.
Tottenham Hotspur fans were so nervous that they were almost speechless!
Now they are pinning all their hopes on French goalkeeper Lloris in front of the goal.
Come on Loris!
Seeing Mane coming up with the ball, Lloris did not cower in his penalty area. He rushed out quickly and quickly pounced on Mane who was holding the ball. Mane really didn't panic at all. He even made a very easy bicycle movement, pretending to break through, but suddenly he stabbed the ball with his toe and shot.
This came so suddenly that Lloris, who rushed out, couldn't react in time!
The ball passed between his legs like lightning and rolled quickly into the Tottenham Hotspur goal.
The ball went in!
One to zero!
In the 23rd minute of the first half, the deadlock on the court was finally broken, and it was the visiting team Crystal Palace who scored.
The scene was completely silent!
All Tottenham Hotspur fans were stunned.
I couldn't say a word.
How can this be?
In these more than 20 minutes of the game, they have always been in control and are playing under the pressure of Crystal Palace. Why is it that the leader is now showing off his power over Crystal Palace? They can't accept it!
In these twenty minutes or so, Crystal Palace had no chance at all. They just got the golden goal. This...
Tottenham Hotspur fans don’t know what to say?
Sherwood's face on the sidelines also looked a little embarrassed, his brows furrowed.
He was also speechless. They had bad luck in this game!
If Adebayor had seized one of the two previous opportunities, they would be the ones in the lead now, not the bullshit Crystal Palace!
Although the ball was lost, it did not affect Sherwood's confidence.
Sherwood firmly believes that as long as they continue to play like this, the winner of today's game will definitely be their Tottenham Hotspur team. Therefore, he immediately came to the sidelines and reminded the Tottenham Hotspur players not to think nonsense and continue to play according to the previous tactics. They will definitely win this game!
Sherwood is still encouraging Tottenham Hotspur players to continue to strengthen their attack.
The Tottenham Hotspur players nodded and said they understood.
The game restarted, and Tottenham Hotspur were still attacking frantically, besieging the Crystal Palace goal.
Crystal Palace's tactics seem to have changed a bit today. The high-position pressure seems to have turned into a defensive counterattack.
Crystal Palace's first goal was a defensive counterattack.
It can be seen that the effect is still very good.
This guy Tong Yi is very powerful. This adjustment instantly put Tottenham Hotspur into a passive position. How amazing!
Crystal Palace fans feel that their Crystal Palace should definitely win this game.
Because Tong Yi is amazing!
With a bang, midfielder Eriksen saw Walker advancing from the wing, and quickly sent the football to Walker's feet with a long diagonal pass. Walker immediately swung his legs and pretended to cross the ball. In an instant, he accelerated past Robertson and quickly reached the bottom line of Crystal Palace's progress.
Under Delaney's pressure, Walker quickly passed the football to the penalty spot with an inverted triangle pass.
Soldado followed up and volleyed the football hard towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Boom, the football roared out like a cannonball.
Danger!
Crystal Palace is in danger!
The expressions of the Crystal Palace fans at the scene and in front of the TV instantly changed, and they were all horrified to the extreme.
This ball is in danger!
Edward in front of the goal also had his eyes widened, a little frightened!
The ball came so fast that he had almost no time to react. However, he still pounced out immediately, but it was of no use at all. The football quickly flew past his hands and flew towards the goal!
Done!
