On the sidelines, Pellegrini held his head in his hands, eyes wide open, unbelievable!
How can it be?
This unscientific!
How could he score such a goal?
Is he the Beckham of Crystal Palace?
The visual impact of this ball was really too strong, and it shook their minds. They couldn't help but shake their heads, they couldn't believe it was true!
That Chinese copied Beckham's famous work?
A generous gift crab! ??
OMG!
Even the commentator on the scene showed an atavistic phenomenon and kept howling non-stop.
This ball,
Zhang Linpeng shot out the galaxy!
Shocked everyone in the world!
Tong Yi fell to his knees passionately on the sidelines, and Shi Buddha had a moment where he couldn't hold back any longer.
It's now!
"It's unbelievable! I feel like I'm in the summer of 1996, when the same rainbow cuts through the sky, penetrates the red sun, and hits the bull's-eye! It's unbelievable!" Mortensen kept shaking his head and roaring.
He really didn't expect that a Chinese player could perform such an amazing performance.
More importantly, this Chinese player is still a full-back.
Even more incredible!
"Hiss! I believe that this goal will definitely make everyone get to know Zhang Linpeng from China again. It will also make more people know about Zhang Linpeng! Zhang Linpeng, I can tell you clearly! You are famous, you are famous! Tomorrow, you will see what it means to become famous with one goal!" Shearer also roared excitedly.
Not to mention the Crystal Palace fans on hand.
Are they so excited that they don’t even know their last names?
One to two!
Crystal Palace pulled a goal back.
In an instant, the situation on the court was different!
The game restarted, and the Crystal Palace players were attacking fiercely one by one, as if they were on fire. The Manchester City players were a little unable to resist!
In the final stages of the first half, Crystal Palace attacked like crazy and almost besieged Manchester City.
Manchester City was completely suppressed!
"Wow! From our point of view, Zhang Linpeng's goal changed the situation on the court. Crystal Palace took control of the situation and besieged Manchester City. This period of time is very important for Crystal Palace. If they can equalize the score, Then the second half of the game will be easy to play. If we can't score at this time and let Manchester City recover during the halftime break, Crystal Palace will be hanging in the balance in the second half!" Shearer said.
"Yes, this period of time is very important for Crystal Palace. They must seize the opportunity! There is not much time left for them, only about 10 minutes! The Crystal Palace people can equalize the score or even overtake the score. ? We'll see!" Mortensen also agreed with Shearer's words and said.
The Crystal Palace fans in the stadium are also very knowledgeable about football.
They knew this very well, so they cheered the Crystal Palace players crazily, hoping that Crystal Palace could seize the opportunity, score more goals in the last minute of the first half, and win this game. Contest.
We Crystal Palace need this League Cup champion!
This is our Crystal Palace club’s second top national championship in its more than 100-year history!
We must win the championship!
Crystal Palace, come on!
The Crystal Palace players were also actively involved in besieging Manchester City.
On the wing, the football quickly rolled to the wing, and Zhang Linpeng came up again.
Manchester City fans felt their hearts pounding when they saw Zhang Linpeng. Zhang Linpeng was in such good shape today that he was really unstoppable.
Kolarov immediately stepped forward to intercept Zhang Linpeng.
Zhang Linpeng directly passed the football back in an inverted triangle, and the football rolled to Pogba's feet at the edge of the penalty area.
Pogba did not stop the ball and did not give Fernandinho a chance. He quickly passed the ball to Zhang Linpeng who was advancing.
Zhang Linpeng completely beat Kolarov in terms of speed.
What's more important is that Kolarov still has to turn around, but Zhang Linpeng doesn't need to, he just needs to accelerate quickly.
Therefore, Zhang Linpeng rushed past Kolarov in an instant.
By the time Kolarov turned around to catch up, Zhang Linpeng had already left him nearly three feet behind and was unable to catch up.
Zhang Linpeng didn't give Kolarov the slightest chance. He saw the ball coming, didn't stop the ball, and made a pass with his right foot.
With a bang, the football flew quickly into the Manchester City penalty area and flew straight to the front point.
Lukaku and Demichelis rushed up almost at the same time, but Lukaku blocked Demichelis and smashed the football hard.
Header!
With a bang, the football shot quickly towards the Manchester City goal.
This scared the hearts of Manchester City fans to a halt.
The football roared out and flew out of the near goal post.
So suspenseful!
"Wow, what a pity! This opportunity is already perfect! Zhang Linpeng's cross was in a perfect spot, and Lukaku's grab was also very good. It's a pity that I was a little unlucky, Lukaku's The header missed the goal slightly, what a pity!" Mortensen felt it was a pity and kept shaking his head.
Tong Yi on the sidelines gave a thumbs up to his players, indicating that they were playing well and should continue to play like this.
The Manchester City team wanted to launch an offensive counterattack and relieve the defensive pressure.
Unexpectedly, they didn't even get past halftime when they were intercepted by Crystal Palace's high post.
Pogba in midfield
After receiving a long diagonal pass, the football was directly sent to the feet of Mane who was advancing forward. Mane immediately took the ball and rushed towards the Manchester City penalty area. After compressing Manchester City's defensive players into the middle, Zhang Linpeng rushed up from the wing again.
This road has become the Zhang Linpeng Corridor.
Zhang Linpeng came up when he wanted to, and left when he wanted to.
Manchester City fans couldn't stand it anymore. They all felt that Kolarov couldn't guard Zhang Linpeng. Pellegrini should replace Zhang Linpeng with the faster Clichy at this time to intercept Zhang Linpeng.
Zhang Linpeng cannot be allowed to continue to be so arrogant now.
After Zhang Linpeng came up, he immediately swung his legs and pretended to pass the ball, causing Kolarov to immediately raise his legs to intercept. After he raised his leg, he discovered that Zhang Linpeng had not made the pass at all, but feinted, then quickly reached down and directly penetrated into Manchester City's penalty area.
It's dangerous!
Kolarov immediately rushed forward and intercepted Zhang Linpeng.
So much so that he completely missed Mane behind him. At this time, Mane adducted his back and reached a position close to the penalty spot.
Just when Kolarov was about to pounce in front of Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Linpeng suddenly made an inverted triangle pass back. The football quickly passed between Kolarov's legs and rolled diagonally behind him.
The football rolled right towards Mane near the penalty spot.
Demichelis was stuck behind Lukaku with his strong body, and there was no way to interfere with Mane.
It's dangerous!
Manchester City is in extreme danger!
The football quickly rolled to Mane's feet. Without any sloppiness, Mane directly met the ball and fired directly towards the far lower corner of the goal.
The ball was so fast that it rolled directly in front of the hands of Pantilimon, who was diving horizontally, and quickly rolled towards the far end of the blind corner of the goal.
All the Manchester City fans in the audience were desperate!
Then, the football was slightly wide of the far post.
The ball didn't go in!
"Oh! What a pity! The Crystal Palace people created an excellent opportunity! This is a must-goal opportunity! What a pity, what a pity! Mane did not seize the opportunity! This is really a great opportunity for the Crystal Palace people. It’s so hurtful! Opportunities will not always favor you. If you can’t seize the opportunity when it comes, then when the opportunity goes away, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless! Crystal Palace people must seize the opportunity as soon as possible!” Shearer was really anxious, wishing he could rush forward and help Crystal Palace shoot.
If it had been him, Shearer, he would have scored both goals!
At this time, Crystal Palace had already taken the lead.
However, I have to say that Zhang Linpeng was in really good shape today. He almost defeated Manchester City's left defense.
The Manchester City people feel weak in the legs when they see Zhang Linpeng.
This is the second time this season that Zhang Linpeng has been so crowded.
It’s an unstoppable state! Teams all over England now dare not underestimate Zhang Linpeng, a Chinese defender. His amazing performance this season is enough to be called the top right back in the Premier League!
"I think Zhang Linpeng has entered his peak state. This should be the strongest Zhang Linpeng!" Mortensen was also very surprised and said.
In the stadium, Mane immediately gave Zhang Linpeng a thumbs up, indicating that Zhang Linpeng passed the ball well and that he was responsible for the ball.
"There is not much time left in the first half! If Crystal Palace really cannot score a goal to equalize the score at this time, it will be very difficult for them in this game! If they really let the Manchester City people in the midfield Take it easy during the break, Crystal Palace is about to be completely destroyed!" Mortensen was very worried.
Tong Yi turned his head and looked at the big screen on the court. There were still about three minutes left before the end of the first half.
There really isn't much time left for the Crystal Palace people.
Even at this time, Manchester City fans breathed a sigh of relief!
This terrible first half of the game was finally coming to an end, and their team was able to end the first half with a lead.
OK!
But at this moment, Crystal Palace's Kanter actually stole the ball again!
Speechless!
The fans of Manchester City were speechless. Why would you, Yaya Toure, take the risk of passing the ball forward to start an attack at this time? You control the football well, can't you save it after these three minutes?
The Crystal Palace pretended to reveal an opening, and then you were fooled.
Why!
Manchester City fans don’t know what to say about Yaya Toure!
Yaya Toure's decision was really bad and he made the worst choice.
Yaya Toure wanted to pass the football to Aguero who was advancing forward, but unfortunately the football was interrupted by Kanter halfway. Paulinho made a long diagonal pass directly to the wing.
Mane on the wing directly blocked Kolarov's position, stretched his legs and kicked the football back to Zhang Linpeng, who was rushing up at high speed.
Zhang Linpeng glanced at Manchester City's penalty area, then without stopping the ball, he directly took off the ball with his right foot and passed a wonderful arc.
The football went directly over the head of Demichelis, who took off from the front point, and fell directly to Lukaku, who jumped high.
Demichelis rose to the occasion.
Lukaku shook his head and hit the goal.
With a bang, the football changed direction rapidly and shot towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Pantilimon reacted very quickly in front of the goal, which can even be called a superb performance. But he still didn't touch the football, and the football flew quickly into the upper right corner of the goal.
The ball went in!
Two to two!
Crystal Palace equalized the score with a header from Lukaku before the end of the first half.
