January 20, 2018, London, England, Emirates Stadium, sunny weather!
What is happening here today is the 24th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season. Arsenal faces Crystal Palace at home.
It's another London derby!
This game also looks like a revenge battle for Arsenal.
After all, Crystal Palace just defeated Arsenal 8-1 half a month ago!
Arsenal must be thinking about revenge now. Before the game, Arsenal fans had already jumped out and claimed that they would definitely defeat Crystal Palace in this game, and they would win by a big score. They want to avenge their disgrace and defeat damn Crystal Palace.
Arsenal must win this game!
Before this game, the Football Association of England announced the Premier League's Best Coach of the Month for December this season, and the winner was Manchester City's head coach Guardiola. Although Guardiola's Manchester City team lost to Crystal Palace in their last game in December, his team's results were still the best in the Premier League in December.
Although Crystal Palace has a complete victory, they did not play two rounds of games in December and went to play in the Club World Cup.
Therefore, Crystal Palace is born with two rounds fewer games and is at a fatal disadvantage.
The Football Association of England awarded the December Coach of the Month award to Guardiola.
Tong Yi didn't care about this.
If Crystal Palace can successfully defend the Premier League title this season, he feels it will be worth it.
Of course, Crystal Palace fans were very unconvinced.
They all think that the winner of the award should be Tong Yi from Crystal Palace. Although Crystal Palace has two games less, they achieved a record of winning 4 games in December, and they also defeated the league's number one Manchester City. Team, shouldn’t this month’s coach of the month be given to the winner?
Yes, the game between Manchester City and Crystal Palace was indeed ranked first in the league before, and they played two more rounds.
Crystal Palace fans are unhappy anyway.
They feel that the FA is really too biased in favor of Manchester City and is not fair at all.
Crystal Palace fans shouted for an early defense of the title, slapping the FA in the face.
In this match against Arsenal, Crystal Palace must win!
Crystal Palace wants to win all Premier League games and not give Manchester City people any chance to take advantage of it. The winner of this season must be our Crystal Palace!
Long live Crystal Palace!
For this game with Arsenal, Crystal Palace fans are still full of confidence.
Not the Arsenal people!
After all, they have already seen Arsenal's strength this season. How strong can the team they beat 8-1 be? Even if this game is Arsenal's home court, it is impossible to beat our Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace must win, long live Crystal Palace!
At this time, Arsenal's head coach Wenger stood on the sidelines and looked quietly at the stadium. He felt a lot of pressure at this time. Because he saw that the Crystal Palace players were in very good condition, and their eyes were very firm, and the confidence from the bottom of their hearts was really hard to hide!
Wenger frowned and reminded Arsenal's players on the sidelines to be cautious in this game.
Arsenal's players nodded one after another, expressing their understanding. At this time, they were also very careful and careful in their hearts. They also saw that the Crystal Palace in this game was difficult to deal with!
At this time, the on-site commentator introduced the starting lineups of both sides for this game. The lineups are as follows:
Home team: Arsenal, head coach: Wenger, formation: 4-3-3
Goalkeeper: Petr Cech
Back four [from left to right]: Monreal, Mustafi, Koscielny and Bellerin
Midfield three [from left to right]: Wilshere, Xhaka and Goldfish Eyes
Three forwards [from left to right]: Iwobi, Aubameyang and Lacazette
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw Arsenal's lineup. Arsenal really came out for revenge at the beginning of this game. It looked like an aggressive lineup, with six players in the midfield and frontcourt all attacking. Even Xhaka, who is in the midfield position, prefers to organize the offense and will press for long shots.
When the fans saw this, they naturally understood the Arsenal people's determination to take revenge.
This is not even necessary for defense.
However, the Arsenal fans at the scene and the Manchester City fans in front of the TV were all worried about Arsenal.
Can your Arsenal really defend it when they play like this? Crystal Palace's offense is very strong, especially the high-position pressure. Can you withstand it? With your lineup, the goal is very dangerous, right?
To be honest, Manchester City fans all think Wenger is messing around!
This doesn't look like he wants to win at all. This is simply a failure in advance!
Could it be that Wenger wanted to see Crystal Palace win the championship and directly gave points to Crystal Palace?
Manchester City fans were very dissatisfied and cursed Wenger crazily on the Internet. If you don't want to lead the team, just resign early and leave. Why do you have to wait until the end of the season? Is it just to give points to the Crystal Palace people?
You damn Frenchman, go to hell!
Yes, Manchester City fans hate Wenger.
In their view, Arsenal was really finished in this game, and it was impossible to defeat Crystal Palace.
Even Guardiola was a little surprised and couldn't understand Wenger's operation!
The frontcourt here is all responsible for offense, not defense? Shouldn't your Arsenal goal be smashed by Crystal Palace?
Guardiola seems a little uncomfortable, which shows that he is just giving points to Arsenal!
The commentator on the scene was actually very surprised. It's not like you don't have a defensive midfielder in your team. Isn't Elneny sitting on the bench now? Why not fuck him?
Mortensen couldn't help but shake his head, a little confused.
In this game, Arsenal really seems to be blinded by hatred. Do you really want revenge?
Of course, this does not mean that Arsenal has no chance at all in this game.
The attacking strength of Arsenal's lineup is still very strong. If they are in good form in this game and the game goes smoothly from the beginning, it may not be impossible for Arsenal to break through the Crystal Palace goal, nor will they not be able to take the lead and defeat Crystal Palace. possible.
It’s just that the probability is a little small!
Of course, whether Arsenal can perform in this game depends on the progress of the game!
However, Mortensen is still more optimistic about Crystal Palace, while Arsenal is really a bit extreme. If you don't succeed, you will succeed, and in Mortensen's opinion, Arsenal's lineup has a higher chance of success.
So, Arsenal players, take care of yourselves!
Maybe after this game is over, you will be in so much pain that you can't sleep again!
Yes, in Mortensen's opinion, if Arsenal does not play well at the beginning of this game, it is very likely that they will be kicked by another big score, and Arsenal will be abused again!
Of course, this game also depends on the state of Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace started today with all its main players. The starting list is as follows:
Away team: Crystal Palace, head coach: Tong Yi, formation: 4-2-1-3
Goalkeeper: Maignan
Back four [from left to right]: Cancelo, Rudiger, Van Dijk and Carvajal
Double defensive midfielder: Casemiro and Kante
Single attacking midfielder: De Bruyne
Three forwards [from left to right]: Salah, Ronaldo and Mbappe
Seeing the starting lineup of Crystal Palace, the fans of Crystal Palace were full of confidence. In their opinion, the result of this game has come out, that is, their Crystal Palace won this game. There is no way Arsenal can stop our Crystal Palace!
Yes, Manchester City fans began to mourn the Arsenal people after seeing the starting lineup of Crystal Palace. To be honest, he still hasn't figured out why Arsenal chose such a starting lineup. Is this because he looks down on Crystal Palace, or is he too confident?
Do you Arsenal really want to avenge the 1-8 loss?
Don't be too smart and then lose to Crystal Palace one to eight, right? In that case, you would have lost to Crystal Palace 2-16 in two rounds this season!
Just thinking about it, the mentality of Arsenal fans should explode.
At this time, Manchester City is still worried about Arsenal's starting lineup, and they can't let it go.
To be honest, Tong Yi was stunned when he saw Arsenal's lineup.
Of course he saw the determination of the Arsenal people, but to be honest, Tong Yi felt that Arsenal underestimated their Crystal Palace team. Crystal Palace should have won this game!
However, Tong Yi was still very cautious. He came to the sidelines and reminded the Crystal Palace players to be cautious and not to underestimate Arsenal. The more I see a starting lineup like Arsenal's, the more cautious I have to be and not to make any mistakes. You must seize this opportunity!
If you fail to seize such an opportunity, you will be punished by God!
The Crystal Palace players nodded, showing Tong Yi that they knew what to do.
Tong Yi has different expectations for this game. He wanted to see if they could break the scoring record in the previous game in this game?
At this moment, the referee of this game, Chris Kavanagh, directly blew the whistle to start the game.
The first team to kick off is the home team Arsenal. This is good news for Arsenal. They can launch a fierce attack from the beginning and strive to keep Arsenal firmly in their own half. In this case, Arsenal Na's continuous attacks can continuously threaten the Crystal Palace goal, and even score goals and take the lead.
This is what Arsenal's players did when they first came up, each and every one of them was very fast and furious.
Crystal Palace didn't press very high when they came up, but the pressing in the midfield and backfield was also very fierce. Therefore, despite Arsenal's full pressure, they really did not threaten the Crystal Palace goal. In football, there are frequent changes in the midfield.
This made the Anson fans both excited and nervous!
The exciting thing is that Arsenal really showed the momentum of the home team, and they also pressed into the Crystal Palace half; the worrying thing is that they did not threaten the Crystal Palace goal, and Crystal Palace's pressing and steals are very strong. They Arsenal are so good. Once the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack, it will be dangerous.
I am really worried!
At this moment, Arsenal fans suddenly became excited, what a great opportunity in the stadium!
Mosaic Goldfish Eye in the midfield suddenly sent a very accurate diagonal ball, which directly penetrated the Crystal Palace defense. The football quickly rolled towards Iwobi on the wing. Iwobi immediately caught up with the football. He made a pass just before flying out of the baseline, and quickly passed the football to the center of the Crystal Palace penalty area.
This is a good opportunity. The Manchester City fans in front of the TV are all wondering whether they have underestimated Arsenal. Arsenal are still very strong. Why can't Arsenal attack the whole game? ?
good chance!
The Manchester City fans are cheering for the Arsenal players and are looking forward to scoring goals!
In the middle of Crystal Palace's penalty area, Arsenal center Aubameyang rushed in quickly and jumped high. He was so fast that he was two steps ahead of Rudiger. Then he jumped up first and slammed his head into the flying football. The football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.
The ball was very fast, and Maignan in front of the goal reacted very quickly, but he did not touch the football at all. The football flew quickly past his hands and into the goal he was guarding.
The ball was scored. Just seven minutes into the game, Arsenal, playing at home, scored!
The Manchester City fans in front of the TV were stunned. This was something they did not expect. Arsenal actually scored the first goal. Is Arsenal really going to get revenge in this game?
