Chapter 0234: Crystal Palace's counterattack

It was the closest Palace had to score in the first half.

Subsequently, although both sides created certain chances, they ultimately failed to score to rewrite the score. When referee Clattenburg blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the scoreboard was still showing the scoreline

:1。 The home team was drawn in this game, with Manchester United in the back as the visitors.

Although Crystal Palace coach Alain Pardew is very anxious, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the strongest eleven men of Crystal Palace are already on the field, and substitutions may not necessarily have a better performance.

Therefore, Alain Pardew can only choose to look at the situation again.

However, Palace's situation on the pitch remained unchanged, with United narrowly extending their advantage twice.

In the 53rd minute, Darmian made a low cross from the right, Rashford knocked on his heel, and Fellaini fired a right-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area, and the ball hit the near post and bounced between the crossbar.

In the 61st minute, Darmian received a pass from Juan Mata and crossed from the ribs, and Anthony Martial's header near the penalty spot was not fast, but the angle was very awkward, and the ball hit the left post and bounced.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Alain Pardu couldn't help but make the decision to make a substitution. In the 72nd minute of the game, Alain Pardu replaced Cabaye, who had a mediocre performance, with Pang Qiong, to strengthen the team's attack.

In terms of strength, Cabaye, as a French international, must be better than Pang Qiong, but Cabaye is not in shape in this game, and I don't know if it was the foul in the first half that gave Manchester United a free kick and caused Crystal Palace to fall behind, and suffered some mental blows.

………………

After Pang Qiong came on in place of Cabaye, he did bring some changes to Crystal Palace. And Manchester United did quickly feel the pressure on them even more from Crystal Palace.

Cabaye was in the middle of the command, with Zaha and Borassi on the flanks constantly sprinting and breaking through, and the attack seemed to be thundering and raining, but now it was as if there was really a pouring rain pouring down.

United had to focus more on defence.

In the end, the substitution paid off in the 78th minute.

Pang Qiong's corner kick from the left was pushed out by Fellaini, Ward won the ball diagonally behind him, Darmian dragged behind him at the far end to make an offside error, Pang Qiong grabbed ahead of the chasing Mata, and scored with a left-footed volley into the near corner from 5 meters on the edge of the small penalty area.

The score became 1-1 and Crystal Palace equalised.

After the goal, Pang Qiong hugged his teammates and took the opportunity to celebrate the goal to cheer them up and encourage them.

Now that the score has been equalized, the two sides are back on the same running line, and it is unknown who will win or lose the game.

On the other hand, United's players looked disappointed.

Although the majority of the Manchester United squad did not play in the Europa League final in midweek, they certainly couldn't match the fitness of Crystal Palace, who are already in London and waiting for work, due to the long journey. It would be very bad for Manchester United if the time dragged on.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, used this goal to reinvigorate morale, and the next game will be difficult.

Louis van Gaal was the one with the furrowed brow and set his sights on Marcus Rashford.

Since Marcus Rashford's big win over Midtjylland at the end of February, Louis van Gaal has become accustomed to relying on Marcus Rashford when his team is in trouble.

………………

After the equaliser, Crystal Palace were indeed in high spirits, and when the game resumed, they continued to attack the United goal.

Originally, the Crystal Palace team coached by Alan Pardu was very good at attacking. Now, when they are on fire, Manchester United's improvised backline is suddenly like a flat boat bouncing up and down in the stormy waves, thrown to the top of the wave from time to time, and then slammed into the waves. It makes people frightened, for fear that the next wave will come down, and this Ye Bian boat will become a pile of debris and float on the sea.

Although the Manchester United players gritted their teeth and persevered, in the face of the sudden explosion of Crystal Palace, they did not know how long they could resist, or this resistance was in vain, and in the end it was difficult to escape the fate of losing.

Every Manchester United player has their eyes on Marcus Rashford at the top, who, despite his youth, has saved the team countless times when they are in trouble.

He has already earned the trust and respect of the most discerning Red Devils players with his actions.

………………

'Crystal Palace's attack was fierce, Manchester United's goal was in jeopardy, and the cheers of the Palace fans in Wembley to the front were higher and higher...... If United don't do something about it, it's dangerous! Zhan Jun, who is still serving as a LeTV commentator in this game, said at this time.

Director Li, who partnered with Zhan Jun to commentate on the game, also nodded and agreed: "Indeed, Manchester United has played too passively during this time, and they have almost been completely restricted by Crystal Palace. However, this is also to be expected, in this game, Manchester United almost played on the bench, compared to the recuperated and main force of Crystal Palace, their strength is not cheap. Especially their patchwork backline, which is simply full of holes! ”

……

Not only Zhan Jun and Li Yuankui hold such views, but most of the commentators have similar views.

Don't look at Manchester United's recent glory, winning consecutive league titles, and winning the first Europa League trophy in team history, becoming the fifth team to win a UEFA Grand Slam, and the first team in England history to win all 11 major tournaments, which can be called the hottest team in Europe and even the world during this time.

But it is precisely because of this continuous fierce battle, coupled with the back and forth, that the physical strength of the Manchester United players has long been exhausted.

Although Louis van Gaal sent most of the Manchester United players who did not play in the Europa League final in midweek to play this game, which weakened the gap in fitness between the two sides to a certain extent, whether it is the strength of these substitutes or the degree of tacit understanding, compared with the main line-up, there is a big gap.

Not only did the commentators gradually disapprove of Manchester United, but the Manchester United fans in the stands and in front of the TV were also very worried, and even the Manchester United players on the field were slowly shaken.

It can be said that there is only one person who still has absolute confidence in Manchester United at the moment, and that is Marcus Rashford.

Palace's attack is still fierce, but Rashford has begun to pay attention to the gaps behind Crystal Palace after each attack.
