114: A head-on collision between the Premier League’s youngest starting lineups
This Tottenham team is very young, and it can be seen that Pochettino really has ideas.
Today, Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup is very young. The oldest among them is Soldado, who was born in 1985. He is 29 years old and in his prime. Followed by goalkeeper Lloris, who was born in 1986, is 27 years old this year, and he will not turn 28 in more than half a month.
Next are the two central defenders, both born in 1987, both of whom are 27 years old.
Next is midfielder Ryan Mason, who was born in 1991 and is 23 years old this year.
Then there are Eriksen and Lamela, both born in 1992 and 22 years old this year.
Then there are Davis and Kane, both of whom were born in 193 and are 21 years old this year.
Finally, Bentaleb and Dell were both born in 1994 and are both 20 years old this year. .??.
In other words, the average age of Tottenham Hotspur's current starting lineup is 235 years old, which is considered very young in the entire Premier League.
Of course, the Crystal Palace opposite is even younger!
The average age of Crystal Palace's starting lineup is 223 years old, which should be the youngest average age among the starting lineups in the Premier League this season!
The duel between these two teams can also be called a competition between the two teams with the youngest average age of the starting lineup in the Premier League this season!
This is the showdown between the youthful storms of the Premier League!
Tottenham Hotspur's youngest starter is Bentaleb, who is 20 years old. The youngest player on Crystal Palace's side is Goretzka, who is 19 years old.
The youngest starter on Tottenham Hotspur's side is Soldado, 29 years old, while the oldest starter on Crystal Palace's side is Paulinho, 26 years old. This shows that Crystal Palace is really hotter than Tottenham. Thorn is much younger!
However, Crystal Palace's results this season are much better than Tottenham Hotspur's.
Therefore, Crystal Palace is the strongest youth storm in the Premier League this season.
Looking at Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup, Tong Yi did not underestimate his opponent. Pochettino's vision is also very good, and Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup is also very good and very capable.
Of course, there is still a big difference compared to their Crystal Palace.
However, they still need to handle this game carefully.
To be honest, in Tong Yi's view, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield defense is still quite weak.
Especially today's two midfielders, they are obviously weak defensively, and even their characteristics are offensive. This is Crystal Palace's opportunity!
Looking at these two people, Tong Yi felt that their Crystal Palace had a very good chance in this game.
beep!
At this time, Taylor, the referee of this game, blew the whistle to start the game.
The first to kick off is Tottenham Hotspur, who plays at home.
Tottenham this
The team played very passionately from the start, because they had many young people in the team and more attacking players in the midfield. Therefore, they attacked fiercely from the start and pressed across the board.
This is really a starting point for a home game.
To be honest, Tong Yi had some expectations for Tottenham Hotspur's opening, and these were all in his predictions.
After all, Tottenham Hotspur will attack fiercely at first glance.
In the midfielder position, two more offensive players are placed. This intention is self-evident!
To be honest, it goes without saying that the creativity of Tottenham Hotspur's midfield combination is too strong. There are really too many players with the ability to pass and threaten the ball. The control ability is also very good. The ball control ability of the midfielders is slightly weaker than Kane's, but it is not too weak.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, playing at home, took the initiative.
The Crystal Palace players were also pressing crazy high, but the effect was not very good.
The Tottenham Hotspur midfielders continued to control the ball and pass the ball, which made Crystal Palace's high press somewhat useless.
At this moment, the young man in the midfield, Bentaleb, who became Tottenham Hotspur's main defensive midfielder last season, suddenly sent a reverse long-distance diagonal ball, which directly penetrated the Crystal Palace goal. Line of defense.
To be honest, the Crystal Palace defenders were a little surprised by Bentaleb's pass!
They didn't expect Bentaleb to pass such a ball, and they chose a route that no one expected.
Danger!
Bentaleb's unexpected diagonal pass passed the Crystal Palace defense.
The football came directly to the right side of the front court. Their Eriksen surpassed Robertson by two positions, caught the football, and glanced directly into the Crystal Palace penalty area!
Danger, this guy is going to cross!
Crystal Palace's center back Laporte immediately came up to him, while Van Dijk pressed tightly against Tottenham Hotspur's center Soldado!
Eriksson on the wing did indeed immediately move his legs to make a fake pass, which looked very realistic, but he still did not deceive Laporte. Eriksson was shocked. He didn't expect that his realistic fake action didn't shake Laporte away. He was very surprised!
Is this Laporte so powerful?
However, there was no stagnation in his movements, and he was still moving smoothly!
Seeing that Laporte had not been deceived, he quickly stepped on, pulled and pushed the football with his feet, seemingly trying to push the football to the bottom line and pass it down. Laporte's body changed direction slightly, and Eriksen immediately spiked the ball quickly and changed direction, passing Laporte through the crotch easily!
Laporte immediately turned sideways, trying to use his body to block the advancing Eriksen.
Who knows Erikson?
As if this guy had expected it, he dodged as he advanced, dodged Laporte's body, and then chased the football.
Danger!
Eriksen, a guy who is not good at breakthroughs, actually passed Laporte directly.
Tong Yi on the sidelines was a little shocked.
Eriksson seems to be a fledgling player now, full of energy. This extraordinary person seems to be a dangerous move!
Sure enough, young people still dare to do actions!
Danger!
Crystal Palace is in danger! .??.
Paulinho, who was chasing back here, immediately rushed forward. At the same time, Van Dijk in the middle also dropped Soldado and rushed towards Eriksen!
However, Eriksen did not pass the football to Soldado behind Van Dijk!
Soldado is empty!
But Eriksen didn't pass the ball because he knew very well that Van Dijk, who seemed to be rushing forward like crazy, actually had a backup plan. He blocked his own line to pass to Soldado.
If he wants to pass the ball to Soldado, it will be very risky. There is almost an 80-90% chance that the ball will be interrupted by Van Dijk.
And the distance between him and Soldado is not enough to kick the ball. If the ball is passed, the rising and falling time of the ball is enough for Crystal Palace's Van Dijk and the full-back to stick to Soldado. I have never seen it. Edward had enough time to strike.
Therefore, Van Dijk's defense is really excellent.
It made Eriksson very uncomfortable.
It seems like he only has one option: shooting!
However, in front of the goal, Edward blocked the angle of his shot. It seemed that he then used his legs to shoot towards the far corner.
In this case, it will be very easy to defend!
Considering Edward's reaction speed and height and arm length, the success rate of a side dive to the far corner is very high!
However, he had no time to hesitate!
This guy Van Dijk is about to rush in front of him. If he doesn't swing his legs to shoot, he won't even have a chance to shoot!
At this critical moment!
This guy Eriksen had no intention of shooting with his legs. He seemed to be deliberately waiting for Van Dijk to get closer. He suddenly made a small inverted triangle pass and directly passed the ball between Paulinho and Van Dijk. Li passed the football directly to his diagonal back, in the middle of the penalty area.
Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder Kane rushed up quickly and met the ball with a furious shot!
All Tottenham Hotspur fans roared with excitement.
Opportunity, this is an excellent opportunity!
Eriksen's passing was so exquisite that he almost deceived everyone in the penalty area, even Soldado who was about to catch the ball.
What's more important is that this guy Kane actually understood Eriksson's intention.
