In the first minute of the game, Liverpool pressed forward across the board.
It can be seen that Klopp knows that there is a problem with their defense, and there is definitely no chance if they fight defensively. Therefore, in this game, he didn't compete with your Crystal Palace on defense at all, but on offense.
This game is all about who scores one more goal!
Therefore, at this time, Liverpool is pressing forward across the board.
When Crystal Palace saw Liverpool's centre-back combination, they also wanted to attack fiercely.
The Crystal Palace also pressed forward.
Well, the two sides started a fierce stranglehold in the midfield.
The defensive actions of both sides are not small, the fighting is very fierce, and scenes of people falling on their backs on the court often happen.
However, the referee's whistle did not sound frequently.
Obviously, in the opinion of the referee, this is a normal game standard.
Therefore, the competition in the midfield of this game is very fierce, the defensive intensity is also very high, and the movements are also very large.
The fans at the scene were a little worried. They were worried about the players on both sides and were deeply afraid that the players would be injured.
And now we have reached the most critical moment of the league, and we are all making the final sprint. If a player is injured at this time, the subsequent impact on the team will be very large.
This is especially true for Crystal Palace, which is competing for the title, and for teams like Liverpool, which are competing for European qualifications.
It is even very possible that Crystal Palace will lose the league championship because of the injury to the main player in this game.
Therefore, Tong Yi was a little worried on the sidelines.
Beckham and others also craned their necks to pay attention to the game.
The fierce competition for defense in the midfield led to frequent changes in possession of the ball. This made the game very fast-paced. The two teams saw each other back and forth in the midfield, which made the fans on both sides feel a little pain in their necks. .
He was moving left and right, his neck was twisting wildly, and it was almost unbearable.
However, in this game, the two sides seemed to be competing fiercely in the midfield, and from time to time they were overwhelmed. However, it's really not exciting. Because 10 minutes had passed and neither side had a chance to shoot, the scene seemed a little quiet.
Except it's a scramble, it really looks like a physical fight.
This game really disappointed everyone.
At this moment, Crystal Palace suddenly intercepted Liverpool midfielder Reiva's pass. Kanter's sudden attack was judged very accurately and he stole the football halfway. Then he didn't give the Liverpool people any chance at all. He directly passed the ball diagonally and quickly passed the football to Asensio who was advancing from the wing.
This pass is really very accurate.
More importantly, Kanter passed the football into the space.
Now, isn't the danger coming?
The Liverpool fans at the scene were all nervous, staring at Asensio in the stadium in horror.
Opportunity, this is a good opportunity for Crystal Palace.
This can be regarded as the best opportunity for both sides since the beginning of this game. No wonder Liverpool fans are so nervous and worried, it’s dangerous!
Liverpool's full-back Klein rushed forward quickly. He stood in front of Asensio and did not press forward rashly. He blocked Asensio's forward line and prevented Asensio from breaking through. He wanted to slow down Asensio's progress and buy some time for his defensive players to retreat and cover.
However, there was no success.
Asensio did not break through Klein. Asensio passed the football to Klein.
Alonso, who came up from the wing, was actually not very fast, but he still caught up with the ball before Klein. After catching up with the football, he had already taken a good look at the situation in the middle. Ignacio's forward speed was very fast. There was a chance for this ball!
Although Zhan and Sacco guarded Ignacio on the left and right. But Alonso believed in Ignacio's speed and jumping. He would definitely be able to grab the football above the two men's heads, smash the football hard into Liverpool's goal, and score.
Alonso has full confidence in Ignacio!
At the same time, he is also confident in his crosses. He can accurately pass the football to Ignacio's head!
"Opportunity, the perfect opportunity for Crystal Palace has come! Ignacio in the middle is already in place, Alonso, as long as Alonso passes the football, the goal will undoubtedly be scored!" Mortensen was very excited, excitedly shouted.
This moment caused displeasure and anger from Liverpool fans!
Of course, Liverpool fans couldn't pay attention to Mortensen at this time. They were all staring at their own penalty area in the stadium in horror. This is indeed very dangerous, extremely dangerous.
This Ignacio is really difficult to defend. Sakho and Can have little chance, especially Can!
Liverpool fans are worried that James will become the biggest hole in their defense at this time, creating no defensive threat to Ignacio at all.
Zhan, it is very likely that Ignacio will blow him up this time!
It's dangerous!
Klopp on the sidelines also stood up, stretched his neck, and quacked like a duck being held up by its neck.
This ball is really dangerous. Mamadou and Emre, you two must keep an eye on Ignacio and don't give him any chance.
If you grit your teeth and fight hard, you will definitely be able to target Ignacio.
In the stadium, Sakho and Can gritted their teeth and followed Ignacio closely, not giving Ignacio a chance to take off comfortably.
Because they all knew that they had no chance in the air, they interfered with Ignacio. Not giving Ignacio a chance to take off normally and trying desperately to interfere would prevent Ignacio from taking off comfortably and reaching the optimal take-off height.
In this case, Ignacio's danger will be greatly reduced.
Not allowing Ignacio to jump comfortably and hit the football comfortably is the best defense, which can minimize Ignacio's threat.
Liverpool fans are excited and happy to see this.
Because at this time, Ignacio still could not get rid of Sacco and Can's defense. The two followed and interfered with Ignacio's take-off. This was almost like defending Ignacio.
They were excited and excited.
Do you see it!
So what if you have Ignacio? You still can't score goals, you can't break our Liverpool goal.
We, Liverpool, must win this game!
However, Crystal Palace fans have full confidence in Ignacio, and they believe that these two people cannot guard Ignacio at all. Ignacio will definitely hit the football into Liverpool's goal, this ball is there!
Alonso on the wing is also full of confidence in Ignacio!
These two people can't stop Ignacio at all. This ball must go into the Crystal Palace!
With a bang, Alonso on the wing didn't give the chasing Klein a chance at all. He directly passed the ball with his leg. With a bang, the football was directly blasted into an arc and quickly passed the football towards Liverpool's penalty area. ——The restricted area is online!
Suddenly, everyone was stunned and in disbelief!
What the hell are you preaching?
Ignacio, Sakho and Can were already close to the penalty spot. Why did you pass the football behind them? Is your Alonso's footwork so rubbish? Is the transmission so bad?
Danger! Liverpool is in danger, Liverpool is finished!
BBC Sports commentator Mortensen jumped up excitedly, staring at Liverpool's penalty area in the stadium with red eyes. He screamed excitedly: "It's over, Liverpool's goal is over!"
There was no blood on the faces of all the Liverpool fans in the audience!
It's dangerous!
Alonso's passing is very accurate and very clever!
Alonso directly used the forward Ignacio as a cover, dazzling all Liverpool's defensive players. Almost all Liverpool people thought that Alonso must pass the ball to Ignacio, a high point in the penalty area, because Ignacio has a height advantage in the penalty area.
But no one expected that Alonso would pass the football directly to the second offensive line, pass the football directly behind Ignacio and others, and pass it to De Bruyne who quickly followed up!
In this attack, Ignacio was a cover to confuse everyone.
hiss!
All Liverpool fans gasped in pain.
This ball is really too dangerous, because there is no one around De Bruyne. De Bruyne, who followed up quickly, fell down Reva. At this time, there was no one around him.
Without any interference, De Bruyne comfortably met the ball, swung his legs, and volleyed the football hard with one kick.
Yes, De Bruyne didn't stop the ball. He volleyed the ball right away and slammed the football towards Liverpool's goal.
"Volley! De Bruyne volleyed!" Mortensen roared excitedly, and his voice spread throughout the new Wembley Stadium.
In the stadium, all the Liverpool fans looked pale.
They all know this ball is dangerous!
Klopp's eyes widened when he saw this, and he was very dissatisfied and angry.
He was dissatisfied with the defense of the Liverpool players, which he emphasized many times before the game. How could this defense be so lax, and how could no one follow De Bruyne? Aren’t you giving the Crystal Palace people an opportunity?
He is very angry!
This position should actually be defended by someone, and it is absolutely impossible to give De Bruyne such a big space. It is impossible for De Bruyne to complete the shot so comfortably and easily.
Klopp was furious.
With a bang, De Bruyne hit the football firmly, and the football shot quickly towards the upper right corner of the goal.
The speed of the ball is very fast, like a cannonball coming out of a barrel.
Zhan in the penalty area immediately jumped up and used his body to block the football, but unfortunately it was not blocked at all. The football rushed past him like a gust of wind with a whistling sound, and rushed towards the goal behind him.
All Liverpool fans at the scene placed their hopes on goalkeeper Mignolet.
Mignolet also jumped into the air immediately, stretched out his arms, and rushed towards the upper right corner of the goal with all his strength.
Have the opportunity!
Liverpudlians still have a chance!
Mignolet had a chance to knock down the football!
The Liverpool fans stared intently at Mignolet's outstretched hand as he soared into the air...
"Beautiful! Beautiful goal! The football flew into the upper right corner of the goal without any suspense! World wave! De Bruyne scored a world wave. He helped Crystal Palace score the goal. He made Liverpool one step closer to the goal this season. The EFL Cup championship trophy has taken another step forward! It seems that this season, China Tong will not let the EFL Cup championship trophy fall by the wayside!" Mortensen roared excitedly, and every word stung him deeply. It touched the nerves of the people of Liverpool. Did any Liverpool fans couldn't hold it back and burst into tears from the pain?
One to zero!
In the 13th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace relied on De Bruyne's world wave to lead Liverpool and take the lead!
