Before the game, "Sun" reporter Webster interviewed Tong 1.
Faced with the interview, Tong 1 said: "Of course, Chelsea is very strong, and Coach Mourinho is also a very strong head coach. This game is difficult to play. And this game is away... We I will definitely go all out, and as for the result, I naturally hope that our Crystal Palace can win!”
Webster frowned slightly.
Tong 1 seems to be a little lacking in confidence.
How is this going?
This is not the Tong 1 he is familiar with!
Webster also asked, but Tong Yi left without giving him a chance.
At the moment, Tong 1 was indeed a little lacking in confidence.
Because the current state of the Crystal Palace players is indeed not very good, and the two consecutive losses have already illustrated the problem.
Tong 1 has been rotated, but the adjustment effect is not very obvious.
Therefore, in this game against Chelsea, Tong 1 honestly does not have much confidence.
In training, the condition of the Crystal Palace players did not improve much. Therefore, this game against Chelsea is very difficult.
However, Tong 1 is now ready to face difficulties.
Of course, Tong 1 also kept motivating the Crystal Palace players, making them excited, stimulating their own state, and getting them into a better state.
So far, there are still some effects.
But obviously it did not meet Tong 1's requirements, so in this game, Crystal Palace is still a bit uncertain.
However, the Crystal Palace people's goal of winning will not change.
In this away game against Chelsea, the Crystal Palace people still have only one goal, and that is victory.
December 14, 2013, Stamford Bridge Stadium, London, England.
What is being held here today is the 16th round of the 2013-2014 Premier League season between Chelsea and Crystal Palace at home. The starting lineups of both sides today are as follows:
Home team: Chelsea, head coach: Mourinho, formation: 4-3-3
Goalkeeper: Petr Cech
Back four [from left to right]: Azpilicueta, Luiz, Terry and Ivanovic
Midfield three [from left to right]: Mata, Essien and Ramires
Three forwards [from left to right]: Hazard, Torres and Willian
Away team: Crystal Palace, head coach: Tong 1, formation: 4-2-1-3
Goalkeeper: Edouard
Back four [from left to right]: Robertson, Carvalho, Van Dijk and Zhang Linpeng
Double defensive midfielder: Paulinho and Kante
Single attacking midfielder: Pogba
Three forwards [from left to right] Salah, Lukaku and Mane
In fact, both teams have a 4-3-3 formation, but Chelsea's 4-3-3 formation is more changeable, and more often than not it is a bus.
Yes, Mourinho still chose to show off when facing Crystal Palace.
Obviously, Mourinho wants to attract the Crystal Palace people out.
Moreover, the tactics of the Crystal Palace players are also high-position pressing, which makes them easily attracted. But it is still difficult for Chelsea to break up Crystal Palace's high-position press.
Although their players have good ball control skills, they still have some problems when facing the Crystal Palace people's overall high-position press. However, Chelsea's Tietong defense was indeed very good. Although the ball was intercepted, their goal was not greatly threatened.
The only threat was when Zhang Linpeng came up and passed the ball from the wing. The football accurately landed on the head of Lukaku in the penalty area. What is surprising is that Lukaku, the little beast, actually beat Chelsea's old captain Terry and scored with a header.
The football roared out, almost giving the Chelsea man a heart attack.
Fortunately, Cech reacted quickly and made a great save to save the football from the bottom line. Otherwise, the Crystal Palace people would have turned against the visitors and taken the lead.
Mourinho on the sidelines was very dissatisfied, and immediately roared crazily at Azpilicueta on the court: "How did you defend? How did you let the Chinese pass the ball easily? Interception, interception, etc." can you?"
Mourinho is really angry.
It was really too dangerous just now.
And before the game, he reminded his defensive players many times not to give the Crystal Palace people the opportunity to easily cross from the two wings. The two Crystal Palace full-backs' crosses are very accurate, and they also have a monster Lukaku in the formation. This set is very threatening.
This has almost become an inherent offensive routine of the Crystal Palace people.
Of course, Crystal Palace doesn’t just have two crosses from the wing.
They can penetrate through the middle, and they also have two wingers cutting inside. They have many offensive routines and the offensive system is very three-dimensional. That's why Crystal Palace's offensive strength is so strong.
This is the reason why Mourinho put up the iron barrel formation in this game.
Azpilicueta immediately raised his hand to indicate that this was an oversight on his part.
In fact, this is not Azpilicueta's negligence, but the strength of the Crystal Palace people. They fell out of the space with two or three kicks. And he himself was suppressed by Mane to the edge of the penalty area and could not get out.
But if he really rushes out desperately, Mane behind him will be empty.
Mane's ability to cut inside is terrifying, and he doesn't dare to let it go easily.
Therefore, this gave Zhang Linpeng an easy chance to cross.
Hazard was supposed to defend Zhang Linpeng, but Hazard was entangled by Kanter.
Azpilicueta's eyes tightened. This game was harder than they thought. And Crystal Palace's strength is indeed quite impressive. No wonder they can reach second place in the league.
Not to be underestimated!
Mourinho on the sidelines also knew this. He squatted directly on the sidelines and stared at the stadium.
This game is worth worrying about!
From the corner kick, Robertson passed the football into the penalty area with a curved kick. Pogba, who was inserted in the back row, jumped up high and slammed the football with his head.
clang!
The football hit the crossbar hard and bounced off the baseline.
hiss!
The Chelsea fans at the scene also screamed, so dangerous!
This is really dangerous!
Cech didn't react at all. If the ball had hit the goal, it would have been missed.
Chelsea fans were frightened.
Not to mention, this Crystal Palace is really quite powerful.
The Chelsea fans immediately shouted loudly and cheered crazily for Chelsea. Their momentum could not be suppressed by the Crystal Palace people. Come on Chelsea, Chelsea wins!
Mourinho squatted on the sidelines very calmly. I wonder if his legs were numb from squatting?
Tong Yi ignored it. He came to the sidelines to remind the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to defense and pay attention to the space behind them.
Mourinho frowned slightly when he heard the shout.
Does this guy smell danger?
He immediately turned his head to look at Tong 1, and was shocked in his heart. This boy is really quite capable.
At this moment, Chelsea's midfielder intercepted the ball. Under the crazy pressing of Ramirez and Essien, Paulinho's ball was slightly slow and was intercepted directly.
Ramirez fell to the ground to shovel the pass before Kanter pounced on him, and stabbed the football directly to William on the side.
William did not stop the ball because he had already seen Torres advancing forward. He directly met the ball and passed it, creating a wonderful arc. The football went directly over the head of Van Dijk, who was chasing after him, and fell directly in front of Torres.
Torres, who was barely able to catch up with the football, did not make any extra adjustments. He directly swung his legs at the front of the penalty area and hit the rebounding football hard.
Volley!
With a bang, the football quickly flew diagonally into the sky, and then swooped down like a hunting goshawk, swooping into the Crystal Palace goal with lightning speed like a jingle bell.
Edward soared into the air, and even though the roc spread its wings, it didn't intercept the football!
World wave!
Torres scored a world-famous goal!
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium was boiling, and all the Chelsea fans were going crazy, jumping and cheering excitedly. This ball is really exciting. It stimulates so much adrenaline that our whole brain is numb!
sharp!
so amazing!
Torres's bent bow shot the giant eagle, and it simply shot out the stars!
Chelsea fans are so excited!
See, this is the strength of our Chelsea!
You Crystal Palace bumpkins will never be able to defeat us Chelsea, we Chelsea are the kings!
Suddenly, Mourinho, who was squatting on the ground, jumped up in an instant, like a scurrying hairy monkey, waving his fists excitedly. If his physical condition hadn't allowed him to do so, he would have done an exciting backflip.
Mourinho is really excited!
Tong Yi frowned slightly and shook his head slightly.
He is a bit regretful. He should have reminded his players earlier, so that the ball would not have been lost.
pity!
However, Tong 1 did not put market price pressure on the players on the court, nor did he bring negative energy to them. Instead, he said on the sidelines: "It's okay, it's okay, don't care, it's just an accident. Give him Torres ten more times." He may not be able to shoot such a world-class shot again! You defended very well, don’t doubt yourself, keep playing, keep playing like this, we have a chance!”
The Crystal Palace players nodded and said they understood.
Mourinho was shocked when he heard this: "This kid is quite capable!"
He knew that this side should be difficult to play.
Sure enough, after the game restarted, the Crystal Palace's offense instantly suppressed them and surrounded their goal. This was not a deliberate show of weakness to attract his opponents. But he was really suppressed. Mourinho took a breath. Is this kid so powerful at such a young age?
If these guys are given a few more years, won't they be able to go to heaven?
Suddenly, the visiting team's fans burst into excitement.
Mourinho was startled. He secretly thought something bad and immediately turned his head to look at his own goal.
Sure enough, the football was already lying in Chelsea's goal.
Scored!
Did the Crystal Palace man score a goal?
Mourinho couldn't believe it, so fast?
Did the Crystal Palace goal come so quickly?
The Chelsea fans at the scene were also shocked!
Just now, the Crystal Palace people's high press worked again, directly cutting off the football at Essien's feet. Pogba directly passed the football to Salah who was advancing forward. Salah directly held the ball and cut inside, pressing the defensive players, and then suddenly separated the sides.
Robertson came up from the side and passed directly, and the football quickly flew to the front point of Chelsea's penalty area.
Lukaku rushed out quickly, flicked his head before Terry, looked back and headed the football towards Chelsea's goal.
Cech jumped up immediately in front of the goal and reached out to intercept it. Unfortunately, he did not touch the football. The football fell over his head and directly into the far end of the goal behind him.
This guy Lukaku made a parabola and went directly past Cech!
Cech has no choice!
One to one!
The Crystal Palace equalizer!
Mourinho stared at the fat black man wearing the yellow No. 9 away jersey of Crystal Palace. He saw the shadow of Drogba.
At this moment, he regretted not leaving this little monster behind.
