Therefore, this game has attracted much attention.
beep!
The referee blew his whistle to start the game.
The first kick-off was Tottenham Hotspur. They also played very proactively and aggressively, pressing high as soon as they came up.
Well, Tottenham Hotspur is not a high-position press in the absolute sense, it is more like a full-court press.
The Tottenham Hotspur players are very active, but the Crystal Palace players are not bad here, and they are full of momentum at home, and they are not used to you at all.
This is the home ground of our Crystal Palace.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the two teams were frantically entangled in the midfield, and the possession of the ball was frequently changed. Football was rarely able to go to the front of the two teams. Until the 10th minute of the game, Crystal Palace The football was sent to the penalty area of Tottenham Hotspur.
Cancelo, who came up from the sidewalk, received Kanter's long oblique pass, stopped the football, kicked the pass directly, and aimed at the top of Ignacio's head in the penalty area with a curved ball.
The ball was very fast and the arc was very large. It directly bypassed Vertonghen at the front point and flew directly to the penalty spot in the middle.
Crystal Palace's center Ignacio rushed in quickly, jumping high, like a horse standing on its own.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Ignacio hit the football hard on the head.
The football immediately flew towards Tottenham Hotspur's goal like a ray of light.
All the Crystal Palace fans at the scene jumped up and screamed excitedly. The sound was like the howling of wolves tearing through the night, which made the Tottenham Hotspur fans shudder.
Lloris in front of the goal looked at the football flying rapidly, his reaction was very fast, and he flew sideways into the air!
Seriously, Ignacio hit the ball really well!
This ball is very dangerous.
However, Lloris was very accurate in judging the line of the football, and he rushed out like a conditioned reflex, the speed was extremely fast, even faster than the speed of the ball!
Snapped!
Lloris lifted the football out of the baseline with a single palm.
Clap clap clap!
At the scene, the fans of Tottenham Hotspur immediately gave applause to Lloris, Lloris dedicated a magic attack!
The fans of Tottenham Hotspur felt that they had survived the disaster, and they all chanted Lloris' name excitedly.If there is no Lloris, this ball will undoubtedly be lost!
They all turned to look at Ignacio!
This guy's strength is indeed very strong, especially in the high-altitude ball, this is simply crushing.
In this respect and in terms of impact, Kane is not as good as him!
This is definitely a strong competitor for Kane.Tottenham Hotspur fans are worried about Kane. Can Kane really compete with Ignacio?
Of course, they all support Kane.
However, at this time, Kane must make his own response.Otherwise, the limelight will be taken away by this damn guy.
corner kick!
Crystal Palace get a corner!
All the Crystal Palace fans in the audience were shouting Ignacio's name and cheering for Ignacio.
Now, the opportunity has come!
Ignacio, kill Kane!
The Tottenham Hotspur players were actually very nervous. They followed the Crystal Palace players closely in the penalty area, and the defense was very tight.Vertonghen is standing beside Ignacio, and Dell is also ready to help defend Ignacio at any time.
To be honest, Vertonghen has to admit that it is really difficult for him to defend Ignacio alone.
Ignacio is in the penalty area, that's a huge threat.
This nearly 2-meter Airmaster will give people an indescribable sense of oppression wherever they stand.
This feeling is difficult for Vertonghen to feel at ordinary times.
More importantly, the body of this nearly two-meter-long guy is not bulky, his speed is still fast, and his body is also very flexible.This is simply the biggest nightmare for a defensive player like Vertonghen. If you don't let someone help you defend, you won't be able to defend at all.
Vertonghen glanced up at the little one again.
hiss!
This damn suffocating oppression.
Vertonghen took a deep breath, secretly cheering himself up in his heart.Then the body stuck tightly to Ignacio, almost as if he wanted to put all the weight of his body on Ignacio's body.
Tottenham Hotspur fans were also cheering on their teammates.
beep!
The referee blew the whistle for serve.
Robertson in the corner kick was high on the right hand, and then he kicked the football fiercely. The football flew out quickly and flew to the front of the penalty area.
In the penalty area, all the Tottenham Hotspur fans were stunned. They turned their heads and looked over, and saw De Bruyne at the front of the penalty area not stopping the ball, directly facing the ball, kicking his legs and kicking hard. Hit the football!Will pull the eagle bow like a full moon!
Boom!
The sound of the strings, the rain of arrows, shoot Sirius!
Tottenham Hotspur in the penalty area were dumbfounded!
We have set up a net in the penalty area, and you guys stopped playing in the penalty area, and played the football to the outside?
Hey Hey hey!
What about the battle for the main center?
Ignacio, what are you doing?Isn't this your acting moment?What are your teammates doing?play us?
The Tottenham players are very angry, very angry.Because they deployed most of their forces in the penalty area, and their defensive focus was on Ignacio. Vertonghen not only had Dell's defense around him, but even Dembele was ready. It's time to make up for it.
Now you tell us, you don't play in the penalty area?
The hearts of Tottenham Hotspur players are about to burst, you guys from Crystal Palace are so despicable and shameless!
The Tottenham Hotspur players have the heart to kill.
Tottenham Hotspur's defensive players were hoarded in the penalty area, resulting in some emptiness at the front of the penalty area, which gave De Bruyne a chance.
But the penalty area is full of people and should be able to block De Bruyne's long shot.
But De Bruyne's long-range shot was very sudden, and the ball was very fast, flying straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
The Tottenham Hotspur fans in the penalty area really couldn't stop the galloping football, which flashed like lightning.
Lloris in front of the goal didn't see clearly the flight path of the football.
His vision was blocked.
When he saw the football, it was too late for him, but he jumped into the air immediately and rushed towards the football.
clang!
The football hit the lower edge of the goal bar hard and bounced into the Tottenham Hotspur goal.
In the 14th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace, who played at home, broke through Tottenham Hotspur's goal.But the goal was not Ignacio as everyone guessed, but De Bruyne.
This is beyond everyone's expectations.
Say yes, is this a center battle?Why did the protagonist become De Bruyne?
After seeing De Bruyne's goal, Ignacio was also very excited. He immediately turned around, rushed to De Bruyne quickly, and together with his teammates overthrew De Bruyne to the ground and pressed him up.
Selhurst Park was instantly ignited, and all the Crystal Palace fans cheered excitedly.
One to zero!
Crystal Palace scored at home to take the lead over Tottenham Hotspur.
Pochettino on the sidelines immediately turned to look at Tong Yi, his eyes narrowed, wondering what he was thinking?
After the game restarted, Tottenham Hotspur obviously stepped up their offense.Moreover, this guy Kane is also more active, frequently attacking the Crystal Palace's defense.However, Van Dijk and Rudiger put a lot of pressure on him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Seeing this, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV were a little surprised.
Is Kane being marked?It shouldn't be!
However, Ignacio didn't seem to have any decent performance during this period, so Tottenham fans think it is acceptable.But they are all encouraging Kane, hoping that Kane will have an explosion and help the team equalize the score, so that he can crush Ignacio.
Kane, come on!
