You have to say that sometimes what Webster said makes sense. Indeed, as Webster said before the game, the Crystal Palace people did spend too much energy and physical fitness in midweek, and the Liverpool people exhausted the energy of the Crystal Palace people.
In this game, Crystal Palace is very dangerous. Crystal Palace will probably lose. This game is indeed a great opportunity for West Ham United!
West Ham United's head coach Bilic thinks so. He feels that a game is an opportunity for West Ham United.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, he let the West Ham United team attack fiercely, trying to suppress Crystal Palace from the beginning, give the opponent a blow in the head, and stun the opponent, so that they can win the game.
Sure enough, West Ham United, which had already started playing at home, took advantage of its home court to attack wildly, easily suppressing the Crystal Palace people and frequently threatening the Crystal Palace goal.
To be honest, the midweek game against Liverpool did have a great impact on him. Tong Yi on the sidelines also frowned slightly, feeling less confident.
However, he still came to the sidelines and directed the Crystal Palace players to stabilize their defense, wait for the opportunity, find the right opportunity, and give the opponent a fatal blow.
Yes, Crystal Palace's tactics have changed in this game. The Crystal Palace side no longer rushes forward and attacks as crazy as before. The second is to set up a bus at this time and defend and counterattack.
After all, the Crystal Palace people are very confident in their quick counterattack. As long as they stabilize their defense and seize one or two opportunities, they will be able to win.
So, now we just need to hold on to our defense. This is Tong Yi's plan. Not using crazy high pressure at this time is actually reducing the consumption of physical energy and energy, and accomplishing the result in one battle.
Just defend firmly and wait for opportunities. Seeing the Crystal Palace people's choice, Bilic and Webster were very excited.
Their prediction was not wrong. The Crystal Palace people did excessively consume their physical energy and energy in midweek. That game had a great impact on Crystal Palace.
Now the Crystal Palace is a lone boat in the storm, and the Crystal Palace will definitely lose this game. Webster was cheering for Bilic, and Bilic was cheering for the West Ham United players.
Bilic is originally a very passionate rock person, and his conductor on the sidelines is also passionate, jumping, jumping, waving and shouting.
Now Bilic is in this state on the sidelines. One moment, he is galloping forward and punching, signaling West Ham United to step up their attack and storm out. The next moment, he is holding his head in his hands and wailing, regretting that the team's offense did not score a goal. The next moment, he is jumping up and down again. , applauding wildly to encourage the players and express their affirmation... This guy Bilic really can't take a break for a moment.
"Come on, rush up the mountain. Rushing up is an opportunity. Cross the ball..." Bilic devoted himself to the game, as if he was not the head coach at this time, but a player controlling the controller in the game defense at home. I am very excited and engaged with West Ham United's offense.
The West Ham fans at the scene were also very excited and excited. This is a good opportunity. To be honest, they didn't expect that their team would play so well in this game. They took the initiative from the beginning and frequently threatened the Crystal Palace goal.
This was completely different from what they expected before the game. West Ham United gave them a surprise. They were very excited and jumped up and down in the stands to cheer for the team.
They feel that West Ham have a good chance in this game. Their West Ham United can win this game.
All in all, West Ham fans are cheering their players passionately and wantonly.
They jumped up with excitement and their blood boiled. At this moment, wingback Michael Antonio quickly moved forward to the baseline and caught up with midfielder Perico's diagonal ball.
Then Antonio didn't stop the ball at all, he directly kicked the ball and passed it. The football roared out and flew quickly into the Crystal Palace penalty area.
Carroll, who was at the back of the penalty area, jumped up high, directly overpowered Dias in front of him, and slammed the football into the Crystal Palace goal.
The speed of the ball is very fast, like lightning. Alisson in front of the goal tried his best to save, but he did not touch the football at all. The football flew quickly into the Crystal Palace goal.
Then the whole Upton Park stadium exploded and all the home fans burst into joy. They were ahead, West Ham United were really ahead.
They, West Ham United, really want to win this game. They, West Ham United, really want to win this game.
Webster in the stands was also very excited. He also felt that the Crystal Palace was finally going to collapse.
Bilic was so excited on the sidelines that he even knelt down passionately. Then Void suddenly played his electric guitar and kept shaking his head like a rock star at a concert.
Really excited! One to zero, West Ham United, playing at home, leads Crystal Palace. Seeing this, Tong Yi couldn't help but shake his head. Tong Yi was really dissatisfied with this defense.
After all, the threat that this ball looks like is not particularly big. The main problem is that there is a problem with Dias.
Tong Yi knows very well that Dias's shortcoming is that his ability to defend against high-altitude balls is not particularly outstanding. Therefore, after introducing him, Tong Yi emphasized that Diaz had emphasized it many times, and also emphasized to the team's coaches that they should improve Diaz's ability to shoot high balls.
After he came to the team, Ferdinandi, Campbell, McCarthy and others taught him how to accurately judge the landing point of high-altitude balls, how to take off, how to take off when there is interference, etc.
It stands to reason that this guy should improve very quickly, but now it seems that he is still not very successful.
Moreover, there are Vieri and Ibrahimovic as well as Ignacio and Jimenez from the perspective of high forwards to help Dias improve his control of high-altitude balls. However, this guy has improved somewhat so far, but there is still a lot to be done. Very far.
At least it's quite a long way to meet Tong Yi's requirements. If Dias really wants to become the top central defender in world football in the future, he must improve his defense of high-altitude balls.
Seeing this lost ball, Tong Yi was also helpless. This game must be rotated. After all, as Webster and the others said, the midweek game indeed consumed a lot of Crystal Palace, and it would not work without random substitutions.
Dias is top-notch in other aspects. The only thing he has is a problem when it comes to defending against high-altitude balls. The West Ham United players really nailed this goal, and Carroll is a typical British center with a very strong heading ability.
It happened that their strongest point met Crystal Palace's weakest point, so conceding the goal seemed reasonable.
Tong Yi had no choice but to accept this result. At the same time, Tong Yi also raised his hand to signal Diaz not to blame himself too much, and just defend well next time.
Just don't let the opponent get a chance to score a header easily. After taking the lead, West Ham United became even more excited, and everyone excitedly rushed to the Crystal Palace goal.
Bilic on the sidelines was also adding fuel to the fire, assisting crazily. Webster in the stands felt that this game was really over for Crystal Palace, and West Ham United must win this game!
And not long after, West Ham United's attack came again. The winger advanced with the ball, and then suddenly passed the football across the middle.
Carroll in the middle missed the football, and Lanzini fired directly with his legs. The football flew straight towards the Crystal Palace goal.
If Alisson hadn't reacted quickly, the goal would have been scored, and the ball was saved by Alisson.
The West Ham United people felt very sorry, they were almost about to seal the victory. pity! Corner kick, West Ham United got a corner kick opportunity.
Feguli drove the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area with an arc. Carroll and Van Dijk jumped up high in the middle of the penalty area. Neither of them hit the football, and the ball leaked directly to the back point.
Ogbonna, the centre-back who had played for Juventus at the back, jumped up high and smashed the football with his head, and the football quickly flew into the Crystal Palace goal.
Two to zero, West Ham United expanded the score! The ball had nothing to do with Dias, and Ogbonna did not hit the ball above his head.
The ball was a bit empty at the back, allowing Ogbonna to seize the opportunity. Of course, Ogbonna is also very good at heading the ball, and he often uses his header to help the team score.
This time, his header found the Crystal Palace goal. It was two to zero. All the West Ham fans here became excited and felt that they would definitely win this game. They, West Ham, got three points.
Bilic also thinks so, Crystal Palace cannot do this in this game! Webster, who was in the stands, also stared at the Crystal Palace players and sneered, saying: "Humph, you are going to lose this game, you damn Chinese soft rice man. Do you dare to say that your Crystal Palace will not collapse?" Webster Very interested, very excited.
However, it is obvious that Crystal Palace will definitely not surrender like this, let alone admit defeat.
However, the Crystal Palace side still did not attack, because West Ham United was already on top. They were still attacking fiercely, seeming to want to plug the Crystal Palace goal.
At the beginning of the second half, Crystal Palace seized the opportunity to counterattack one after another. After midfielder Llorente intercepted the ball, he immediately pushed the football forward. Sabitzer in the frontcourt directly pulled the ball and turned around, then quickly inserted the football diagonally into the ribs of West Ham United's penalty area.
At this time, everyone in West Ham United was attacking like crazy, and the backcourt was very empty. This ball instantly tore West Ham United's defense apart.
Mbappe, who came up diagonally, easily caught the football, and then immediately ran into the penalty area with the ball. Suddenly he moved the ball laterally, slightly opened the space, and directly volleyed the football with his legs, fiercely volleying the football far away from the goal. horn.
Randolph in front of the goal was deceived. He thought Mbappe would shoot low into the lower corner. After all, Mbappe often did this before. He had studied Mbappe's videos.
Unexpectedly, Mbappe did the opposite this time and fired a long shot directly. Randolph had no chance at all.
The football flew into West Ham United's goal, one to two, and Crystal Palace got a goal back. The second half of the game had just begun, and Crystal Palace scored. The players and fans of West Ham United became nervous. It was a bit dangerous!
Webster and Bilic also felt a little uneasy. Bilic immediately made adjustments, asking the West Ham United players to quickly return to defense and defend across the board to maintain the one-goal lead.
Bilic reacted quickly, and West Ham United immediately recovered. Crystal Palace created many opportunities, but they failed to score West Ham United's goal.
Seeing that the game was about to end, the West Ham United people instantly became excited and celebrated. West Ham United won this game.
Webster was also very happy and excited. Trash Chinese bastard, you will definitely lose this game.
At this moment, Llorente suddenly shot angrily from 40 meters away from the goal, sending a world-wide kick.
The football flew straight into the upper right corner of the goal. Crystal Palace equalized the score at the last minute!
