052: Sure enough, the Gunners are a strong contender for the championship.

Two to zero, the first half ended with Crystal Palace taking the lead.

This is something many people don't think of.

Before the game, almost no one was optimistic about Crystal Palace. Everyone thought Arsenal would win.

But now the situation has become like this.

Many people can't believe it.

To be honest, they also saw that the Crystal Palace players were not in the best condition in this game, but the score was indeed Crystal Palace's lead, and it was still two goals ahead, which many people couldn't understand.

Mortensen sighed!

All we can say is that Crystal Palace is still amazing!

Tong Yi is still awesome!

Under Tong Yi's training, Crystal Palace's ability to seize opportunities is really strong.

In the first half of the game, Crystal Palace had few chances. But they just took two chances and scored two goals, which is really amazing.

In the first half of the game, Arsenal's mistake was that they made mistakes that should not have occurred.

Especially on the first goal, Arteta unexpectedly made a mistake, which led to Arsenal conceding the goal.

It was this loss of the ball that led to the subsequent chain reaction.

Not appropriate!

Arsenal fans are full of worries about this game because they only have forty-five minutes left. If they want to win the championship, they have to score 3 goals in the second half, which is very difficult.

However, the good news is that the Crystal Palace people are not in very good shape and they have a chance!

During the halftime break, Wenger also emphasized this point, asking Arsenal's players to be bolder and invest more in offense. They can win this game!

Then, Wenger was also a little confused. Should he make a substitution at halftime?

Sanogo was replaced and Giroud was replaced, who has not yet fully recovered.

If they are leading at this time, Wenger is unlikely to replace Giroud at this time. However, the situation is very critical now and they urgently need to score goals. Sanogo's performance today was not very good, and there was no hope. Moreover, Sanogo also had a yellow card, which was dangerous.

However, after careful consideration, Wenger still sought stability.

After all, the league is more important than the Community Shield.

At this time, Giroud must not be injured again, otherwise, Arsenal's new season will be over!

So, no substitutions!

Giroud still sat on the bench.

However, just three minutes into the second half, Wenger regretted it and immediately signaled Giroud to warm up and prepare to play.

Because at the beginning of the second half, Sanogo fouled again, and the foul was a bit big. At that time, when he saw the referee blowing the whistle, Wenger's heart almost stopped. He was really afraid that the referee would show a second yellow card, so he directly sent off Sanogo from two yellow cards to one red.

If one person is sent off, Arsenal will really be finished for this game.

Fortunately, the referee kept it

He was in love, gave him Wenger face, and did not show a yellow card.

Wenger breathed a sigh of relief, and then he couldn't sit still.

He just asked Giroud to warm up and prepare for substitutions.

Sanogo's foul just now was definitely a yellow card. Fortunately, the referee showed mercy.

He can't keep this time bomb on the court, otherwise there will definitely be chaos.

A minute later, Arsenal made a substitution, replacing Sanogo with Giroud.

Seeing this, Tong Yi couldn't help but shake his head, very angry.

Sanogo was very angry just now because he didn't receive a card. He got angry at the referee and put pressure on him, and almost received a yellow card. Now watching the Arsenal people replace their time bomb, Tong Yi felt very uncomfortable and very regretful.

Originally, Arsenal should have fought with one less person.

Now that this chance is completely gone, can he not be angry?

When Tong Yi was even more angry, after Arsenal replaced Giroud, the offense became even more fierce.

Because Arsenal has a fulcrum in the frontcourt, their offense has become more diverse and more fierce.

Giroud's role was immediately apparent.

The Crystal Palace is relatively dangerous at this time!

Of course, the Crystal Palace players are very dedicated and working very hard at this time.

But he is indeed out of form, which gives the Arsenal people more opportunities.

Giroud's ball-holding ability in the frontcourt is still good. He is always able to control the football and then create opportunities for his teammates. This makes the Crystal Palace goal jittery.

Danger!

Tong Yi came directly to the sidelines and reminded the Crystal Palace players to cut off the connection between Giroud and his teammates.

But this guy is very good at using his body and confrontation to find the opportunity to hit the ball. He frequently delivers good balls and threatens the Crystal Palace goal.

Tong Yi also reminded Ignacio to pay attention to Giroud's playing style and learn something from Giroud. This will be very helpful for his future growth. Ignacio nodded firmly to express his understanding.

Tong Yi was also very satisfied.

"Sure enough, the game returned to the beginning of the first half. Arsenal once again occupied the absolute main force. They began to frequently besiege Crystal Palace. This is an opportunity for Arsenal. They should take advantage of it. Seize the opportunity now, otherwise, Arsenal will not have any chance in this game!" Mortensen said immediately, seeming to be cheering for the Arsenal team.

Even Lukaku in front of the TV was cheering for Arsenal.

During this period, Arsenal really took the initiative.

Sudden,

Giroud directly headed the ball back and stared at Sanchez who came up from the wing.

Although Sanchez is a new signing, the cooperation between him and Arsenal players today is still very tacit. This guy also performed very well today and caused a lot of trouble for Crystal Palace.

And at this moment, Sanchez came again.

Crystal Palace's defenders immediately stepped up to the plate. ??

However, Sanchez suddenly strode for the ball, accelerated through his crotch, and directly passed the Crystal Palace defender.

The Arsenal fans at the scene immediately burst into thunderous applause, what a great opportunity!

With a bang, Sanchez made a direct pass and passed the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area. In the penalty area, Giroud jumped up high and headed the ball towards the goal.

The Arsenal fans at the scene immediately became excited, the ball was there!

With a bang, the football was pushed out by Van Dijk first.

All the Arsenal fans at the scene were shocked. This Van Dijk was so powerful that he actually pushed the football out of Giroud's head? Giroud is the header devil!

The Arsenal fans had not yet come to their senses. Wilshere, who was at the front of the penalty area, met the ball directly and fired a blast.

The football roared out and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

The ball was very fast, but not faster than Edward. Edward saved the football from the bottom line with one palm.

"Wow, Arsenal's offense is getting more and more fierce. I wonder if Crystal Palace can hold on? Let's see if Tong Yi will make adjustments?" Mortensen was a little worried about Crystal Palace's defense. .

Corner kick, Arsenal won a corner kick!

Ignacio also returned to participate in the defense at this high point, which gave Arsenal's offensive players a great sense of pressure. Of course, Arsenal fans did not realize that they all believed that Giroud could score the Crystal Palace goal.

At this moment, Wilshere kicked the ball out in an arc, and the ball quickly flew into the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Then, Ignacio overwhelmed Giroud and pushed the football out of the penalty area.

Kante outside the penalty area directly made a big kick, and Salah in the frontcourt quickly rushed out and chased the football.

Unfortunately, once he was a little slow, the football was kicked to the wing by Szczesny who rushed out.

Debussy on the wing made a long diagonal pass and sent the football to the frontcourt. Sanchez barely stopped the football. He then passed the ball back quickly, giving the Palace full-back no chance.

The football came to Arteta's feet, he glanced into the Crystal Palace penalty area, and then quickly pushed the football flat into the middle.

Cazorla, who followed, immediately swung his legs and pretended to shoot, and directly missed the football.

Wilshere rushed up and hit another explosive shot!

With a bang, the football roared out like a bolt of lightning!

Giroud in the penalty area had no time to dodge, and the football hit him hard

He hit his right leg, changed direction instantly, and quickly flew towards the lower left corner of the goal.

For this ball, Edward has no chance at all!

Because Edward has already jumped to the right!

The football flew into the Crystal Palace goal without any suspense.

One to two!

After a long attack, Arsenal finally broke through the Crystal Palace goal and pulled a goal back. The Arsenal fans at the scene were very excited and jumped up one after another, as if they had won the final victory.

Tong Yi was also a little nervous. He immediately came to the sidelines and reminded the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to defense. We must not give the opponent such an opportunity again, otherwise, their Crystal Palace will be on the ropes in this game.

At this time, Tong Yi also made an immediate substitution, replacing Milinkovic with Paulinho to strengthen defense.

When the game restarted, Crystal Palace immediately launched an attack, hoping to open up the score again.

However, Ignacio in the frontcourt controlled the football, carried Senderos with his body, and then passed the football to Sane who was on top. It's a pity that Sane stretched the ball a little bit, and the ball was cut off by the Arsenal people.

After stealing the ball, Arsenal immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Long pass!

A long pass was made directly from the backcourt, sending the football to the frontcourt.

Giroud in the frontcourt jumped high, got ahead of Paulinho, and hit the football hard, and the football flew quickly towards Wilshere. Wilshere didn't stop the ball at all. He stretched out his legs and swept the football to the side, giving Kanter no chance to pounce on him.

However, the ball was directly shoved out of the sideline by Zhang Linpeng who rushed out.

The rescue was successful!

Crystal Palace blocked the defensive pressure, but Arsenal missed a good opportunity!

But there was still time, Arsenal made a comeback, Sanchez and Wilshere on the wing continued to play exquisite cooperation. Then, with his back to the Crystal Palace goal at the edge of the penalty area, Wilshere seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He suddenly kicked his heel and hit a through ball with a good line.

Sanchez succeeded in countering offside with his forward thrust, drove into the penalty area, caught up with the football and fired with a kick!

The football quickly flew past Edward's armpit and flew into the Crystal Palace goal!

Two to two!

Arsenal evened the score!

To be honest, the Arsenal fans at the scene were a little unresponsive. Wilshere's back-heel pass was really a stroke of genius, and it also deceived the Crystal Palace defenders, giving Sanchez the opportunity to face goalkeeper Edouard directly!

With eighteen minutes left in the game, Arsenal equalized the score!

Arsenal fans are very excited and excited!

Their Arsenal opportunity has come. Arsenal, who are in full swing, will definitely win!

Tong Yi frowned, this game is indeed difficult!
