130: Miscalculated Crystal Palace's defensive strength

One to zero, Crystal Palace leads!

The fans of Crystal Palace were so excited that they all jumped up and screamed excitedly.

This is really a bit of a surprise.

Even the most optimistic Crystal Palace fans didn't expect that their Crystal could lead Chelsea like this. After all, Chelsea's strength is indeed relatively strong.

And from the beginning of the game to the present, the Chelsea people have been leading the offense, threatening the goal of the Crystal Palace. The Crystal Palace really seems to have no chance.

I don't know that at this time, Crystal Palace actually took the lead.

What a surprise, what a surprise!

The Crystal Palace players in the stadium were also very excited, celebrating excitedly, and flocked to Pogba.

On the other hand, Tong Yi on the sidelines looked very calm.

After all, the halftime game is not over yet, and Crystal Palace may not be able to win now.

Chelsea are not weak.

Tong Yi couldn't help turning his head to look at Chelsea's coaching bench. Their head coach Benitez shouldn't be nervous, right?

Because after Benitez took over Chelsea, Chelsea is not the kind of team with a one-to-zero idea and an emphasis on not conceding goals.Now Chelsea advocates offense and pursues the principle of scoring one more goal than you, so conceding goals is commonplace for them.

Benitez is very confident in their Chelsea attack.

And in his opinion, the strength of Crystal Palace is not enough.

Sure enough, Benitez's expression didn't change at all, he looked at the court very calmly, as if he wasn't affected by the conceded goal at all.

Sure enough, it was the same as I expected.

To be honest, Benitez really didn't really care about this conceded goal.

Because he hates to know the consequences of his tactics. They sent so many offensive players, so naturally they invested more in the offense. It doesn't matter if there is a problem in the defense, as long as they can be found in the offense.

Benitez immediately called Torres to the sidelines and gave some instructions.

Shhhhhh!

The Chelsea fans who came from afar booed Benitez and Torres crazily, which the Crystal Palace fans did not expect, and they were all surprised.

What's happening here?

Are Benitez and Torres so unpopular with Chelsea fans?

Seriously, if Torres was a Crystal Palace player, they Crystal Palace fans would not like to see Torres.

Torres is no longer Torres at Atletico Madrid and Liverpool.

And these Torres have nothing to do with Chelsea. Why do Chelsea fans enshrine you Torres and praise you Torres?You, Torres, came to our Chelsea with a sky-high transfer fee, and you have high hopes from countless Chelsea fans, and you handed over such an answer sheet, who can sell your account?

All kinds of empty goals are not entered, like iron guards, we Chelsea fans have already restrained without doing anything.

You Torres is indeed the top hero in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans, Spanish fans and Liverpool fans, even a superhero in the eyes of many fans around the world, but not here at Chelsea!

Torres put his hands on his hips and lowered his head, listening to these boos, his heart was very heavy.

To be honest, he didn't want to either.

He has worked very hard at Chelsea, but he just can't find his previous state, and he is also very anxious and helpless.

Hey!

Benitez looked at Torres, patted Torres on the shoulder, and said: "Don't think too much, you slowly recover, I believe you can reach the rhythm of Atletico Madrid and Liverpool earlier. Don't be too Worry, I will give you a chance. Come on!"

For Benitez, Torres is still full of gratitude.

As soon as Benitez came to Chelsea and was not used to his state, he straightened himself up and gave himself so many opportunities. His performance was poor. Benitez still trusted himself and gave himself a chance. Thank you very much.

Torres stared closely at Benitez and said sincerely: "Coach, don't worry, I will work harder!"

Benitez nodded firmly and said, "Come on!"

Torres also nodded firmly to Benitez, then turned and ran into the court.

Looking at Torres' back, Benitez also sighed—hey!

Torres has been in a tough situation lately.

Of course, his Benitez situation is also very difficult.

The two of them are suffering from the same disease.

If, at this time, Torres can return to his state in Liverpool, then their situation at Chelsea will be completely different.

Tong Yi had a panoramic view of all this, he recruited immediately, and signaled Van Dijk to come over quickly.

Van Dijk immediately came to Tong Yi's side and asked, "Boss, what are your orders?"

Tong Yi looked at Torres in the field and said: "In the next game, you will keep an eye on Torres and stick to him. Next, he may become the focus of Chelsea's attack!"

Van Dijk also looked at Torres, then immediately nodded and said, "Understood!"

Tong Yi continued: "The reason why Torres is like this is because he was seriously injured before, and he also played in the World Cup and European Cup with the injury, which affected his physical recovery. He has not completely recovered physically and mentally. recovery, so when you face him, you should be more active and aggressive in defense, have more physical contact, and put enough pressure on him, understand?"

It turns out that Torres' recent poor performance is the reason for this.

Van Dijk immediately nodded and said, "Understood, boss!"

Tong Yi also reminded: "Raise the intensity of defense and try not to foul, understand?"

Van Dijk immediately nodded and said, "I know, boss."

Only then did Tong Yi wave his hand to signal Van Dijk to play.

The game restarted and Chelsea obviously strengthened their offense, especially the two wings.Obviously, Chelsea's strength lies in the two wings.In the eyes of Chelsea people, the current two weaknesses of Crystal Palace are also on the two wings.A Chinese full-back Zhang Linpeng on the right and a young Robertson on the left are the weaknesses of Crystal Palace.

As long as Chelsea seize the opportunity, they will definitely be able to score and send the football to the goal of Crystal Palace.

Benitez on the sidelines shouted loudly.

With a bang, Lewis in the midfield directly called a long diagonal pass to Hazard in the frontcourt.But just when Hazard was about to stop the ball, Zhang Linpeng rushed out quickly, stretched out his foot first, and stabbed the football out of the line.

Azar immediately turned his head and glanced at Zhang Linpeng, his eyes tightened.

Here Chelsea launched an attack again. After receiving the pass, Hazard directly took the ball and rushed towards Zhang Linpeng, wanting to single out Zhang Linpeng.Looking at the Huaxia players in front of him, Hazard's feet are moving very fast, changing his ankles from time to time, making quick breakthroughs and changing directions at any time.

And at this time, Hazard saw the opportunity and wanted to pass through the crotch directly.

Boom!

At this moment, Kanter, who rushed out of the diagonal stab, suddenly poked the ball before Hazard, and directly poked the football out of the direction.

Hazard was shocked and immediately turned his head to look at Kanter. When did this guy jump over?

Hazard was really a little surprised by Crystal Palace's defense, which is very strong overall.

And Torres' feeling is not as bad as Hazard's. Crystal Palace's defense put a lot of pressure on him, especially the Dutchman next to him, who really couldn't leave him.And the defensive intensity is very high, with frequent physical contact, Torres felt his body trembling, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

Benitez on the sidelines also saw it, frowning.

Crystal Palace's defensive strength really exceeded his expectations, and their Chelsea team's sharp offense has encountered such troubles.It seems that Crystal Palace can achieve such a good result in the English Championship. There are really two brushes. Crystal Palace should not be underestimated.

Benitez immediately came to the sidelines and waved, reminding the Chelsea players to step up their offense.

He even reminded Chelsea's offensive players to shift the direction of attack and attack Robertson directly.Robertson is a young guy, and his body is not developed to the best. He should be relatively easy to deal with.

Hazard glanced at Zhang Linpeng, then immediately turned around and switched sides with teammate Oscar.

Chelsea continued to attack, and after passing the ball continuously, the midfielder Oscar suddenly made a precise diagonal pass, directly passing the football to Torres who was going forward.

Torres rushed forward quickly, spotted the ball, and immediately stopped the ball with his legs.

With a bang, Van Dijk slammed behind him, Torres' body swayed instantly, the part of the ball under his feet made a mistake, and the football immediately rolled to Delaney's feet.

Delaney immediately passed the football with a big diagonal pass to the feet of Mane who advanced from the wing.

Fight back!

The people of Crystal Palace are coming back!

The fans of Crystal Palace were very excited and excited. This should be the last chance to attack in the first half of the game.The Crystal Palace fans cheered excitedly, hoping that the team could score another goal before the end of the first half to expand their lead.

In this case, Crystal Palace will have a great chance of winning this game.

After Mane received the ball, Chelsea's defenders immediately greeted him.Mane was not allowed to rush up to speed, and Mane directly diverted the football to the other side with a diagonal pass.Zaha on the side rushed ahead of the opponent's full-back Azpilicueta, and moved the football forward with a divine leg. The football quickly rushed past Azpilicueta, and at the same time Zaha also rushed past.

Azpilicueta was shocked, he immediately turned around and quickly chased Zaha!

Zaha cut directly into the penalty area with the ball. Facing Chelsea's central defender Ivanovic, he took advantage of the trend and quickly hit the bottom line.Then suddenly made an inverted triangle pass and passed the football directly to the penalty spot.

Murray, who was near the penalty spot, was sternly held by Cahill, and he didn't have a good chance.

Murray immediately swung his leg and pretended to volley, but actually missed the football.

Cahill was preoccupied with wrestling with Murray, and never thought that Murray would leak the ball.

In an instant, the space behind Cahill was completely exposed.

Cahill immediately turned around, ready to rush to intercept.

Boom!

The moment Cahill turned around, he saw Mane, who was coming up from Xiecha, shoot angrily at the ball, and the football shot towards Chelsea's goal in an instant.

Cahill panicked, shifted his gaze around, and saw that Louis was stuck behind Pogba, and there was no way to go up to intercept Mane.

damn it!

With a whoosh, the football flew towards Chelsea's goal as fast as lightning.

Danger!

Turnbull in front of the goal saw the ball and threw it sideways at the first time.But he didn't have a clue in his mind, the ball was too fast, and he didn't have the confidence to save the football.

But Turnbull did his best!

Turnbull reached out with all his might.

However, the football flew past his palm as quickly as light and flew towards the goal behind him.

clang!

There was a sound of steel, and the football hit the inside of the goal post hard, and then bounced into the goal.

Two to zero!
