Chapter 269 Fan Zhiyi's Bounce Ability
This season, the performance of the Crystal Palace team has been unsatisfactory. At the end of 26 league games, they have only achieved five wins, six draws and fifteen losses.
There are still [-] rounds to play. If there is no miracle, the relegation quota of the Crystal Palace team is already as secure as Mount Tai.
In this game against Manchester City, the Crystal Palace team had already been very pessimistic before the game.
Their head coach is the famous French star Patrick Vieira.
Vieira was one of the best midfielders of the French team in the player era.
However, his coaching career was not considered a success. After getting out of class in Nice in Ligue [-], Vieira came to the Premier League a year ago and coached the Crystal Palace team.
However, the current results of the Crystal Palace team make Vieira also very anxious.
The frequency of the head coach change of the Crystal Palace team in recent years is very high, usually once every two years.
This year, if the Crystal Palace team is relegated, Vieira will most likely be dismissed by the Crystal Palace team.
Players from both sides came to the field, and in the stands, one-third of the fans were wearing Manchester City's No. 10 jersey.
This is the home stadium of the Crystal Palace team, so there are so many fans of Li Mingyu here.
This is a great humiliation for the Crystal Palace team, which is playing at home.
[Congratulations to the host for signing successfully at the Selhurst Park Stadium and gaining the talent of Crystal Palace star Fan Zhiyi: amazing jumping ability. 】
Fan Zhiyi, a well-known star in China, is also the first player in China to win the Asian Footballer of the Year.
Fan Zhiyi's physical fitness is definitely at the top level in Asia, even if he came to England, joined the Crystal Palace, and served as the captain of the Crystal Palace team.
Although at that time, the Crystal Palace team was still in the League One (later the British Championship), it can be seen that Fan Zhiyi's level could also rank among the second-tier in Europe at that time.
Fan Zhiyi's physical fitness is definitely no less than that of some European players, and the most memorable thing is that he once bounced without losing to Ronaldo.
In the TV camera, Fan Zhiyi jumped high, his body curled up in the air, and his feet were actually at the shoulders of the jumping player.
This amazing jumping ability allows Fan Zhiyi to have a good command of the air in the game, and in the offense, he has repeatedly completed headers in the penalty area that overwhelm the opponent, which is also commonplace for Fan Zhiyi.
For Li Mingyu, the attribute of jumping ability has increased the range and strength of his defense. Just like in the last game, Li Mingyu relied on his super air dominance talent obtained in the match against the Greek national team in the penalty area, and he has a good control over the landing point. However, because his jumping ability is not top-notch, he feels powerless when facing some headers.
After all, Li Mingyu's height was only 1 meters. Although he was not considered short, his height was not enough in the restricted area where there were many tall people.
With Fan Zhiyi's jumping ability, Li Mingyu felt as if his legs were stepping on springs.
As soon as the kick-off was kicked off, the Crystal Palace player kicked the football from the backcourt to Manchester City's half.
Li Mingyu moved quickly and accurately judged the ball's landing point. He took the first step and overwhelmed the Ivorian forward Zaha, who easily pushed the ball to Zinchenko on the wing.
Guardiola's eyes lit up on the sidelines, and he looked at Li Mingyu in surprise.
Just now when Li Mingyu jumped with a header, his chest has already surpassed the jumping striker Zaha. This jumping ability surprised Guardiola a little.
Guardiola has been familiar with Li Mingyu's training situation and data for a long time.
Jumping ability has never been Li Mingyu's advantage. In training, Li Mingyu can often grab headers, but he chooses his position well. If he encounters a tall defender, Li Mingyu will often suffer.
Just like Laporte, with the ball at his feet, Li Mingyu can easily walk past Laporte like crossing the road in the early morning.
But when fighting for the header, Laporte completely crushed Li Mingyu, because the jumping ability of the two was not at the same level.
However, Li Mingyu's jump just now made Guardiola a little uncertain.
When did this kid's jumping ability get so good?
Guardiola kept this question in his heart and didn't pay too much attention to it. He didn't know if it was just Li Mingyu's sudden outburst.
Zinchenko on the wing received a header from Li Mingyu and passed the ball back to central defender Stones.
The Crystal Palace players quickly returned to the defense, and soon, they retreated to their own half.
The Crystal Palace team's tactical arrangement today is a thorough defensive counterattack, completely abandoning the frontcourt press, and controlling the front line within their own half.
The advantage of this is that when defending, there can be more personnel.
But the disadvantage is that they lost the depth of defense, and when they need to counterattack, the line is too long, which will make it easier for Manchester City to return to defense.
However, the Manchester City team is already very familiar with this tactic of placing a bus in front of the goal, and it is also handy to crack this tactic.
When Guardiola led Barcelona across La Liga, he would encounter such a bus tactic basically every week, so his experience is very rich.
Pass control, the ultimate pass control, kept cooperating in front of the Crystal Palace team's penalty area, using the width of the court to mobilize the Crystal Palace team's defense back and forth.
Teams at the bottom of the Premier League like Crystal Palace, their tactical literacy is not too high, and the players' execution of tactics is not so perfect.
After 15 consecutive minutes of pulling, holes began to appear in the Crystal Palace's defense.
Li Mingyu received a cross from Gundogan from the wing in the middle, and made a move to continue to transition to the right.
Before this, Li Mingyu had passed the ball to the right three times in a row. In the minds of the Crystal Palace defenders, there was already a subtle judgment that Li Mingyu still had to pass the ball to the right.
Just when the formation of the Crystal Palace team began to move to the right as a whole, a vacuum of about two meters appeared in their defense in the middle of the penalty area.
Of the two central defenders, one stood in place and the other moved to the right. There was a gap between them.
Li Mingyu noticed the gap and turned his ankle lightly. The pass that was supposed to be passed to Foden on the wing was pushed by the arch of his right foot into the penalty area of the Crystal Palace team.
Jesus started almost at the same time as Li Mingyu's pass, received the pass on the edge of the penalty area, lightly led his right foot, and wiped it in between the two central defenders.
There was a burst of exclamation throughout the stadium.
The fans of the Crystal Palace team did not expect that Manchester City's murderous intentions suddenly appeared. The continuous pass and control made the fans in the stands a little drowsy.
But at this moment, like a lion flying out of the grass, the fans of Crystal Palace broke out in a cold sweat.
The two central defenders of the Crystal Palace team hurriedly recovered, ready to stop Jesus.
But Jesus didn't give them a chance to get close. The first time he entered the penalty area, Jesus raised his foot and shot directly.
The football went straight to the upper corner of the goal. The goalkeeper who was about to attack could only complete the side attack instinctively, but it could not stop the fact that the football crashed into the goal.
In the No. 15 minute of the first half, the Manchester City team, which played the ultimate pass control, finally completed the fatal blow, temporarily leading the Crystal Palace team 1:0.
The balance of the game was broken.
It doesn't make any sense for Crystal Palace to defend across the board now.
If they want to score points against Manchester City, they have to attack.
But attacking out means that Manchester City's chances will be greater.
For weak teams, conceding the ball means losing the whole game. The basis of defensive counterattack tactics is defense. If the defense is not done well, where will the counterattack come from.
The Crystal Palace team is now facing such a dilemma. If they defend, they can't defend, and if they attack, they can't attack.
After the re-kick-off, the Crystal Palace team tried to rely on the midfielder to send the ball to the frontcourt, but Manchester City's frenzied pressing in the frontcourt made the Crystal Palace players helplessly kick forward, hoping that the frontcourt players could win some opportunities.
But this kind of blind big foot will only return the ball to Manchester City's feet.
Manchester City continue their "torture" journey against Crystal Palace.
25 minutes into the first half, the ball possession data on the field has reached 81%-19%, and Manchester City has completely taken the initiative on the scene.
The Crystal Palace team basically has no chance of possession of the ball. Even if it is 19% of the ball possession time, it is still the time when the goalkeeper gets the ball in the penalty area or after the goal kick.
In the No.30 minute of the first half, Li Mingyu tried a long shot from outside the penalty area. The shot was powerful and powerful. The central defender of the Crystal Palace team in the penalty area blocked the ball out of the baseline with his back.
However, after the defender saw the football rolling out of the baseline, he half-kneeled on the ground with a face of pain, opened his mouth, and gasped wildly.
Li Mingyu's shot just now made him a little breathless, as if someone hit him with a stick in the back.
The referee came over to inquire, and called the team doctor of the Crystal Palace team to come up and check.
In the past two years, whether it is FIFA or UEFA, the protection of players injured on the field is very good.
Because in the 2020 European Cup, the Danish midfielder Eriksson fell to the ground and suffered a cardiac arrest during the game without confrontation.
Fortunately, the team doctor's first aid was very timely, which saved Eriksson's life.
The scene at that time shocked the eyes of the whole world, but the advanced first aid equipment in the stadium also made fans all over the world praise UEFA.
Therefore, as long as there is a player on the court who falls down, the referee will stop the game and ask the team doctor to come in and check.
