goalkeeper bravo

Back four from left to right Danilo, Mangala, Otamendi and Walker

The three midfielders from left to right are Jingdongan, Fernandinho and Goretzka.

Forward three from left to right Sane, Jesus and Bernardo Silva

Everyone was a little surprised to see the starting lineups of both sides, because both teams have made adjustments and are not their absolute main lineups. The Crystal Palace defense has changed. Cancelo and Lu

Digger was always on the bench, which should be a normal rotation.

But the Manchester City team was very surprised, it didn't look like a normal rotation at all.

Tong Yi naturally saw it too.

Obviously, Manchester City deliberately hid some of its main attackers in the arrangement of the starting lineup, obviously to strike later. After all, Manchester City's strikers saw Aguero and Sterling sitting on the bench.

Isn’t the intention obvious yet?

Of course, some people will say that Jesus and Sane are not weak, and they have scored a lot of goals in the previous games.

After all, Sane and Jesus are also at the top of the scorer list and are also the top scorers for Manchester City this season. They can also represent the strongest strength of Manchester City in the starting lineup.

However, everyone knows that Aguero and Sterling are obviously more aggressive.

In such an important game, these two people should be the starters.

Now that these two are not starting, what is the second move?

Seeing this, Tong Yi reminded the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to defense when attacking.

The Crystal Palace players were a little surprised, why?

At this time, when we see a lineup like Manchester City's, shouldn't we attack fiercely? Try to get a big lead before Aguero and Sterling come on, so that Aguero and Sterling have no chance.

beep!

At this time, the referee of this game, Jonathan Moss, blew the whistle to start the game.

The first team to kick off the ball was the home team Crystal Palace. A long pass from the backcourt found the Portuguese center in front. He directly overwhelmed Mangala who rushed out, and then shook his head and threw the football to the wing.

To be honest, Mangala's start is a bit surprising to everyone. After all, Mangala is already old. Shouldn't Stones be the starting player at this time? Why is Stones sitting on the bench today?

This goal Mangala was directly suppressed by Ronaldo.

The ball was placed very well, and the football landed in front of Salah accurately.

Suddenly the Crystal Palace fans became excited and screamed excitedly, this was a good opportunity.

But Walker’s speed

Soon, he was directly in place, blocking Salah's cutting line. Salah immediately passed the ball and tried to break through, but failed. He suddenly made a diagonal pass and quickly passed the football back to the big goal.

The frontier of the restricted area.

De Bruyne rushed up to meet the ball and fired a shot. Boom, the football shot quickly towards the Manchester City goal.

Manchester City fans were nervous.

But the next moment, Fernandinho directly blocked the football with his body, and the football quickly changed direction and bounced out of the baseline.

"Sure enough, Crystal Palace, playing at home, played very proactively and launched a fierce attack from the beginning. Now it seems that Manchester City's pre-emptive tactics are correct. As long as they can survive this period, Aguero will be waiting for him in the second half of the game.

When playing against Sterling, Manchester City will probably have an advantage!" Mortensen said.

Vieira also immediately said, "That's true. Guardiola is really good. I think his tactics are very successful. It will be really difficult for Crystal Palace to win this game. And it will be more difficult."

After winning for such a long time, they should be getting tired!"

Hiller shook his head slightly and said nothing.

Corner kick!

Crystal Palace got a corner kick and the Manchester City fans became nervous.

After all, Crystal Palace's corner kick tactics are very powerful, and the scoring rate is very high. Giving the Crystal Palace people a corner kick at this time is actually quite dangerous.

Theo glanced at the penalty area, then raised his right hand directly to signal the Crystal Palace players to prepare.

beep!

As soon as the whistle blew, Special Olympics took a quick run, then quickly rushed to the football and hit the football hard with one kick.

The ball went directly to the center of the penalty area. Ronaldo and Van Dijk in the center jumped at the same time. Otamendi and Mangala both felt great pressure. They jumped up desperately, but the football was still

The arrogant Ronaldo got the thumbs up.

c. Ronaldo really jumped too high, making Manchester City's center back feel a huge sense of powerlessness.

With a bang, the Portuguese center swung his head in the air and slammed the football into the Manchester City goal.

The speed of the ball is very fast, like a bullet being fired.

Bravo reacted quickly in front of the goal, jumped into the air, and slapped the football away with a single-handed side dive.

The Manchester City team immediately made a clearance and the football flew out of the sideline.

so close!

The fans of the Manchester City team were scared to death. Crystal Palace is indeed very strong. Even though the Manchester City team is so strong, it feels like they have been suppressed. No wonder they have won so many consecutive victories.

Manchester City fans are extremely nervous.

Crystal Palace quickly threw the ball out, but unfortunately the ball was intercepted by Manchester City.

This guy Goretzka has already laid an ambush.

After stealing the ball, Goretzka immediately hit a long through ball, directly attacking the Crystal Palace defense.

The Manchester City fans at the scene instantly became excited and jumped up with excitement. What a great opportunity!

One second I was desperate, and the next second I was excited.

Manchester City people saw hope of scoring!

Because this ball has really penetrated Crystal Palace's defense. Firstly, Goretzka's passing line is very good, directly finding the weak point of Crystal Palace's defense. Secondly, Crystal Palace has been anxious to attack, and the defense is a bit sparse.

To prevent it.

With this ball, Upamecano pushed a little forward.

Therefore, Goretzka immediately seized the opportunity and penetrated Upamecano's defense.

Single blade, this ball is a single blade!

One can imagine the excitement of Manchester City fans.

Tong Yi on the sidelines raised his eyebrows slightly, this ball is really very dangerous.

Maignan in front of the goal immediately attacked quickly and rushed towards the football. However, the opponent's forward Jesus had already rushed up and came to the football. It was very dangerous! Maignan immediately prepared for a side attack. He felt that

Jesus is about to shoot.

Sure enough, at this moment, Jesus, who was catching up with the football, suddenly volleyed the football towards the Crystal Palace goal.

Maignan reacted very quickly in front of the goal and immediately closed his legs.

With a bang, the football rolling rapidly close to the turf hit Maignan's closed left foot, changed direction slightly, and then rolled quickly into the Crystal Palace goal.

"Goal! In the 7th minute of the first half, Manchester City scored a goal, and it was Jesus who scored the goal! Of course, a lot of credit for this goal seems to go to Goretzka, whose steal and pass

Penetrating Crystal Palace's defense. It seems that people who are familiar with Crystal Palace are the most dangerous!" Vieira was really excited. Seeing this goal, he seemed to have seen Manchester City win.

The Manchester City fans who came from afar were all excited, jumping, jumping and screaming!

They were really happy, and it was a dreamy start.

And this also makes them feel that Manchester City will definitely win this game.

Jesus, who scored the goal, was also very excited. He rushed out and performed a passionate kneeling slide.

Jesus roared in his heart, "Who said we can't do it? Who said we are just a bait to consume the Crystal Palace?"

Sane was also very excited. He knelt down and hugged Jesus to celebrate.

It can be seen that they are really excited and excited.

"This ball is indeed a bit sudden, but if we look carefully, it is not sudden at all! When the Crystal Palace people threw the ball from the sideline, the Manchester City players were positioned a little forward. From here we can see that Melon
