352: Experienced Louison, a flash of inspiration appears inside the pony.

beep!

The referee blew his whistle and the 2013-2014 Europa League finals officially began.

The first team to kick off was Benfica.

However, Benfica did not play particularly proactively and adopted a defensive posture at the beginning.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, followed its usual rhythm of pressing from a high position.

Crystal Palace immediately pressed close to Benfica's penalty area and launched a crazy press, and the defensive actions were also very large.

"It can be seen that the players of the Crystal Palace were very excited today, and they couldn't stop their movements at first! It is actually very dangerous if it continues like this!" Duan Jianhong said directly with some worry.

However, Zhang Hao said, "I think this is good, because the intensity from the beginning will definitely create a lot of pressure on the Benfica people, and even make them at a loss. If Crystal Palace can seize the opportunity at this time, this game will Crystal Palace has a great chance of winning!”

Duan Jianhong raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little interesting.

"Hey, it's dangerous!" Suddenly, Duan Jianhong roared.

Benfica's Soleimani took the ball sideways and did not notice De Bruyne rushing behind him, almost stealing the ball.

Soleimani is a Sevilla international and a very capable player. He has played for Ajax for nearly five years, playing more than 100 times on behalf of the team and scoring 30 goals. He just joined Benfica this season. After the initial lineup, he gradually became the team's main force.

This game is Soleimani's 26th game on behalf of Benfica. He had previously scored 3 goals.

His characteristics are fast speed and nimble feet.

But this time he showed off his flexibility.

When he saw that De Bruyne was about to steal the ball, he quickly pulled the ball out of the way and directly beat De Bruyne's pressing. This response was very good and caused cheers from the Benfica fans at the scene.

However, the next moment, Soleimani fell hard on the court, crying and covering his abdomen.

Because when he turned around, he didn't even notice Paulinho lying on the side. Paulinho raised his leg a little high and kicked Soleimani directly in the abdomen. Soleimani fell to the ground.

Paulinho immediately raised his hands to show that he didn't mean it.

He rushed up, but he didn't know that this guy suddenly turned around and came sideways. He couldn't even retract his legs in time.

The Benfica fans at the scene were not used to this and cursed Paulinho crazily.

I really want to scold Paulinho off the field.

The referee directly showed Paulinho a yellow card as a warning.

"Hiss! Getting a yellow card too early is not a good thing for Crystal Palace!" Duan Jianhong was a little worried.

At this time, only 5 minutes into the game, Paulinho got a red card, which had a great impact on his subsequent games.

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were very worried!

Paulinho in the next game

He must restrain himself, otherwise, he is likely to get a second yellow card and be sent off!

The Benfica people have also discovered this, and they will definitely rush Paulinho to induce him to foul and receive a second yellow card.

Crystal Palace fans are worried.

Benfica quickly took the free kick, but unfortunately Lima in the frontcourt did not hit the ball at all.

Lima is not tall and is not a high center.

Therefore, his success rate is not high for such high points.

Benfica's high center forward Cardoso is now sitting on the bench, waiting for his opportunity.

The football was pushed out by Laporte, and it quickly rolled to De Bruyne's feet. The opponent's young midfielder Gomez immediately pounced on him, trying to stretch his legs from behind De Bruyne to steal the ball.

Gomez is really very young. He is just over 20 years old now and is a supernova in Portugal. But now he has just started playing in the first team of Benfica. This season he has only played 23 times for Benfica, including only 23 games in the league. 7 appearances, but he played more in the Europa League, playing 9 games.

His start today was beyond many people's expectations.

But Tong Yi knows very well that this guy is still very capable and will even join Barcelona in the future.

If it weren't for his subsequent severe leg injuries, he would probably have become the top midfielder of the Portuguese national team.

What a pity, God is jealous of talents!

Tong Yi reminded the Crystal Palace players not to underestimate this guy and to take him seriously.

De Bruyne naturally listened to Tong Yi's words. He had already observed the surrounding situation before receiving the ball and had already seen Gomez rushing towards him. So De Bruyne didn't give Gomez a chance at all. When Gomez was about to pounce, he easily threw the football back and directly passed the pounced Gomez.

De Bruyne turned and ducked past Gomez, and then without stopping the ball, he diverted the football to the left wing immediately.

De Bruyne's pass was too fast, and the Benfica people were a little unable to react.

With a bang, De Bruyne was directly hooked by Gomez's leg and fell to the ground, but the referee did not indicate, indicating that the attack was favorable.

Salah caught up with the football, made a direct sideways move, and then shot with a kick.

It roared out with a bang and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

"Beautiful, we have the ball!" Duan Jianhong roared excitedly. The shot was of extremely high quality and must be a goal.

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene stood up excitedly.

Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, Oblak took off in front of the goal and actually slapped the football out of the baseline with one palm.

hiss!

Crystal Palace fans at the scene rubbed their eyes in pink

Eyes, unbelievable!

Can you catch this ball?

Salah also didn't believe his eyes and stared at Oblak in front of the court. Is this guy so powerful?

Campbell and others on the coaching bench turned to look at Tong Yi, feeling shocked.

Is this the goalkeeper you like? He is so powerful, why didn't you introduce him in the first place?

He knew very well about Tong Yi's pursuit of Oblak many times. Originally they didn't know what Tong Yi liked in Oblak, but now they understand.

They even regretted not persuading Tong Yi to bring Oblak to the Crystal Palace.

Yes, Tong Yi has been interested in Oblak for a long time.

When Tong Yi was still in Munich 1860, he had his eye on Oblak and wanted to use this guy to replace De Gea who left. Later, he chose Ter Stegen and Leno. After coming to Crystal Palace, Tong Yi also wanted to introduce Oblak. Unfortunately, Benfica was unwilling to sell him, so Tong Yi chose Edouard and Alisson.

However, these two are not bad.

However, seeing Oblak's performance, Campbell and the others still felt a bit at a loss.

Corner kick!

Crystal Palace gets a corner kick!

Robertson went directly to the corner kick, and Crystal Palace center backs Van Dijk and Laporte both appeared in the opponent's penalty area.

"Opportunity, this is an opportunity for the Crystal Palace people. I hope they can seize it and strive to score as soon as possible! In the final, the sooner a goal is scored, the better, and the less pressure!" Duan Jianhong said immediately.

Tong Yi also stood on the sidelines with some anticipation, his eyes fixed on the court.

With a bang, Robertson drove the football into Benfica's penalty area with a direct arc, and the football flew straight to the back point.

Van Dijk, who was in the back position, jumped up high, overpowered Benfica's Argentina international center back Garay, smashed the football with his head, and headed the ball towards the goal.

The football roared out and went directly over the crossbar, without even threatening Oblak.

"Wow! Garay did a great job of interfering! He is indeed a player who has played for Real Madrid. He is still very capable!" Duan Jianhong said immediately.

To be honest, Jesus is really not afraid of Crystal Palace's offense at all.

I think he is very confident in his defense line. This defense line has been together for several seasons and has a very good understanding. Even Garay has only been with Benfica for three seasons, but he has already played 134 games for Benfica. This is the 135th game of his Benfica career.

He is very confident in this central defender combination!

You Crystal Palace men can't beat our centre-back combination!

However, Tong Yi really didn't have any trouble at all!

Benfica's defense seems to be impregnable and has a very tacit understanding, but in fact there are still many problems.

Lots of questions.

Even the central defender combination of Garay and Louison also has problems, and Tong Yi is very confident in his forwards.

Tong Yi firmly believes that Crystal Palace will definitely win this game.

Boom!

Benfica's forward Lima received a cross pass from his striker partner Rodrigo at the front of the penalty area and shot directly from a distance.

The football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.

The ball speed is very fast and the quality is extremely high!

As soon as I saw the football, it shot directly towards the lower corner of the Crystal Palace goal!

Danger!

Snapped!

Not to be outdone, Edward in front of the goal pounced sideways like lightning and slapped the football away with one palm.

"Beautiful save! I thought this goal would definitely be scored! Who would have thought that Edouard Mendy would save the football. He is indeed the best goalkeeper in the Premier League! Very good! Beautiful!" Duan Jianhong said excitedly said.

Here, the football rolled to Zhang Linpeng's feet.

Zhang Linpeng quickly pulled the ball, turned around, and quickly passed the football to the frontcourt with a kick.

The football landed accurately at the feet of Mane, who was advancing forward.

Benfica's players raised their hands to indicate that it was offside, but the referee did not indicate at all that this was a good goal.

Mane's unloading of the ball was perfect. He didn't even need to slow down and was able to directly reach Benfica's penalty area with the ball.

And Benfica's left back, Uruguay international Pereira, has been completely beaten by him.

Because Pereira was not fast, he was directly blown away by Mane's lightning speed. It was impossible for him to catch up. He can only place his hope on the team's central defenders.

Benfica fans are very nervous and worried.

Benfica's center back Luison immediately stepped up and intercepted Mane.

Mane, a very talented guy, was so bold that he changed direction and center of gravity back and forth near Benfica's penalty area, trying to knock down or shake off Louison.

After all, Louison is tall and tall, and as he is older, his body flexibility and turning are very poor.

Mane is very likely to directly blast Louison.

Unexpectedly, Louis Pine remained motionless, like a stone Buddha.

He just stays the same in response to all changes. What will you do with Mane?

Seeing that Louison was not fooled, Mane was also surprised. Sure enough, this Louison is very powerful and experienced, so he was not fooled!

The Crystal Palace fans frowned, secretly thinking it was dangerous.

But Mane didn't care. He was planning to break through, but he suddenly got out of the way and volleyed.

He gave up the idea of ​​passing Louison and shot directly.

Louison didn't react in time, and the ball clung to the turf and quickly bypassed him, rushing into the lower right corner of Benfica's goal.

One to zero!
