057:A chance to top the Premier League table(1/2)
One to zero, in the 17th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace took the lead, and it was Casemiro who scored.
Seeing this, Pochettino frowned.
This game was much more difficult than he expected. Crystal Palace was not in as bad a state as he expected, and their own state was not as good as he expected!
Especially Kane!
Kane's state is really hard to describe!
Forget it if Kane is not good, Jensen, who was introduced this summer, currently seems to be very, very far away from his requirements.
Also, Lamela’s performance was not very satisfactory. ??
Now Tottenham Hotspur fans miss Son Heung-min who is far away in Brazil. In their opinion, Son Heung-min is much more useful than Lamela.
Why!
If we lose this game, Tottenham Hotspur will not lose to Crystal Palace, but to ourselves.
Of course, at this time, Pochettino did not think that they would definitely lose this game.
It's only half a game, and they still have a chance.
He immediately came to the sidelines and told his players to run more actively in the frontcourt and must keep up... Oh no, they must exceed the speed of the Crystal Palace people's backcourt transmission, so that their high pressure has a chance.
.
Otherwise, you will always be led by your opponent.
There is also the issue of defense. Wanyama and Vertonghen must help Rose with defense more and don't let Rose face the opponent's onslaught alone.
Now Rose has become the target of the Crystal Palace's attack. If he does not protect and help, Rose's game will be in doubt. If Rose is in doubt, Tottenham Hotspur will be over.
Therefore, Rose's position is very critical.
In fact, substitution is a good choice at this time, but it is really too early to substitute at this time.
And Rose's performance was pretty good.
Replacing Rose at this time would be a huge blow to the young man's confidence.
Therefore, Pochettino is struggling at this time.
At this time, Crystal Palace's attack came again.
The football rolled quickly to the frontcourt.
This wave of Cancelo's straight fax was very accurate and rolled directly to the feet of Salah in front.
Walker rushed forward immediately, and his defense against Salah was still very tight.
He and the Tottenham Hotspur players know very well that Salah is the core of the team. If his defense is relaxed, Tottenham Hotspur will be doomed.
This time Walker came up very timely. As soon as Salah's side finished, he followed Salah.
Salah tried to turn around and break through, but failed, so he immediately passed the football back.
The football rolled to the feet of Cancelo who followed.
The Tottenham Hotspur players immediately pounced on Cancelo like crazy dogs. As a full-back, your ability to control and handle the ball is definitely not good, right? You are pressing so hard, why don't you have problems?
A bang sound,
Cancelo immediately passed the football diagonally, and the football quickly rolled to the feet of Luther Browne. The Tottenham Hotspur players were shocked. They did not expect Cancelo to pass the ball so quickly.
A bit unexpected.
Therefore, the football accurately rolled to De Bruyne's feet.
De Bruyne quickly pulled the ball and turned around, then directly passed the ball diagonally and quickly hit the football behind Rose.
Rose had a yellow card, but he was somewhat careful and didn't dare to attack too aggressively, nor did he make any big moves.
Therefore, it is very dangerous at this time!
Rose can only use his speed to defend, and he is very confident in his speed.
Then……
Then there is no more!
Because he discovered that Mbappe's speed was even...faster than his own!
As soon as his side rushed forward, Mbappe had already caught up with the football and quickly cut inside. Mbappe had already stepped on the line of the penalty area. At this time, the price of the foul was a bit high.
Therefore, Ross is more cautious.
At this time, he hopes that Wanyama and Vertonghen can come over as soon as possible to help him visit Mbappe.
But at this moment, Mbappe actually passed the ball!
Mbappe passed the ball with his heel to Carvajal, who was following from the wing. Carvajal directly kicked the ball and passed it, and the football quickly flew into Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area.
In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic jumped high and headed towards the goal!
Yes, Ibrahimovic has become an aerial striker.
Tottenham Hotspur fans Mane were shocked and horrified.
Danger!
With a bang, Ibrahimovic directly overpowered Oderweireld and hit the football with his head, and the football shot quickly towards the Tottenham Hotspur goal.
The speed of the ball was really fast, and Tottenham Hotspur's goal was so frightened that they were speechless.
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, Lloris once again became the hero to save Tottenham Hotspur. He made a sideways save and knocked the football out of the baseline with one palm.
Lloris saved the team.
All Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene gave applause to Lloris, and then they were very dissatisfied with the team's defensive performance. Especially dissatisfied with Rose's defense. Obviously, the yellow card
Rose's influence is still a little too big, and this yellow card was taken too early.
Pochettino is even more confused, should he replace Rose?
Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity.
This time, Carvajal quickly drove the football in, and the football flew quickly into Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area.
Van Dijk in the middle jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal. The football was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
Tottenham Hotspur escaped disaster.
superior
The game continued at halftime, and at this time Tottenham Hotspur finally created good opportunities in sequence. Ross, who assisted, passed a good ball, and Jensen in the penalty area suddenly jerked his chest.
He threw the football directly to Kane who rushed in.
Kane is the top scorer in the Premier League. This goal is a good opportunity and Crystal Palace is dangerous.
All the Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene jumped with excitement, and then stared at the stadium with bright eyes. The ball was scored. Pochettino on the sidelines was also so excited that his breathing was a little short. This is
Great chance to equalize the score!
However, at this moment, Casemiro rushed up and carried Kane with his body.
This time the force is not strong, and Casemiro is not trying to knock Kane over. Casemiro just wants to interfere with Kane and prevent Kane from shooting comfortably.
Sure enough, this was very effective.
Kane, who was in poor condition, swayed, which affected his shooting action. Although his rotating leg hit the football, he did not hit the right spot, and it also affected the speed and strength of the leg. The football that was hit was
He fluttered towards the Crystal Palace goal, and Alisson in front of the goal easily held the football in his arms. ??
Tottenham missed a great opportunity.
Seeing this, Pochettino felt very sorry.
If the goal had been played by Kane who was in good condition, Casemiro would have been impossible to interfere with Kane, and the goal would have definitely been scored. Unfortunately, Kane is still in poor condition today.
Kane himself shook his head, very dissatisfied with his performance.
But the Crystal Palace side didn't stop. They don't care whether you regret it or not. Alisson hugged the football and rushed out immediately, then threw the ball quickly to the frontcourt with a strong hand.
The football flew quickly to Mbappe on the wing.
It's very dangerous, this side road is empty.
Mbappe received the ball easily, then quickly turned around and accelerated, holding the ball and breaking through quickly.
Looking at Rose in front of him, Mbappe was not afraid at all, but full of confidence. He immediately accelerated and rushed towards Rose with the ball. When he was about to collide with Rose, Mbappe suddenly came and passed the ball.
Ross was shocked!
At the same time, he is also aware of the danger. Mbappe must not rush over this ball. If he rushes over and kills this guy alone, it is very dangerous.
What's more important is that Rose was not fully prepared for this pass. He thought Mbappe would cut in and change direction to break through, because Mbappe made a fake move before the pass, seemingly to cut in.
In fact, the man and the ball passed.
When the football and the man rushed out in different directions at the same time, Rose couldn't react for a moment.
By the time he reacted, it was already too late.
