Chapter 441: Life has to go on

Getting rid of the annoying group of reporters, Li Yi took a shower in the locker room and returned to the hotel early to rest.

Early the next morning, the Crystal Palace took a chartered flight back to London.

said goodbye to his teammates at the airport, and did not let the team send him, Li Yi returned to his home by car.

I opened the door and just changed my shoes. Raised his wrist and looked at the time, and found that although he went out very early in the morning, it was more than 12 o'clock at this time, rolled up his cuffs, and was saying that he was going to the kitchen to get some food to fool his stomach, and just raised his head, Li Yi was surprised to find that Dai Mengxi, who rarely cooks, at least rarely cooks seriously, didn't know what was crazy today, and actually walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron and grabbing a spatula in his right hand.

After seeing that the person who entered the house was Li Yi, Dai Mengxi also said to Li Yi with a big bag, "I just finished the game, I'm hungry, sit down for a while, and I'll eat immediately." ”

As the saying goes, there must be demons when things go wrong, and today's performance of Dai Mengxi is undoubtedly very abnormal for Li Yi!

"Is there some intention?" Some fearful thought to himself in his heart, in the spirit of not being able to hide anyway, it is better to face it with a smile, Li Yi tiptoed to the kitchen door and looked inside.

"Whew!" Seeing that Dai Mengxi inside seemed to be really seriously stir-frying, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and walked over with a step.

"Huh?" Because Li Yi did not deliberately suppress his footsteps, therefore, as soon as he entered, he immediately attracted Dai Mengxi's attention, turned around, and saw that the person who came in was indeed Li Yi, and smiled at Li Yi, Dai Mengxi said, "Hey, why did you come in?" Didn't I tell you to sit down for a while? ”

"Huh!" Smiling and touching his nose, Li Yi asked a little embarrassedly, "What then?" What's wrong with you today? Anyway, you usually either order takeout or casually perfunctory 2 times, how can you ...... today?"

Well, although Li Yi's words were not finished, Dai Mengxi, who is not stupid, must still know what Li Yi wants to say, a big change of face, and return to his true character as a woman, Dai Mengxi said angrily, "Ouch! My mother is in a bad mood today, she just wants to cook, can't she? ”

"Huh! It's not that it can't be done! But are you sure you didn't poison the dish? ”

"I'll go!" Defeated by Li Yi's serious expression, Dai Mengxi finally said what Li Yi wanted to know, "You think I'm really idle, I'm not watching TV, do you know that you lost the game?" Thinking about helping you cook a delicious meal and comfort you? ”

"Huh!" After making trouble during the day, it turned out that Dai Mengxi was for this reason, Li Yi immediately apologized to the other party very sincerely, and then without saying much, he handed over the kitchen to Dai Mengxi and returned to the living room to wait.

……

After a while, Dai Mengxi came out of the kitchen and asked Li Yi to eat.

……

What is Dai Mengxi's craftsmanship at this meal, not to mention him, all in all, in short, Li Yi is very happy to eat.

As for Dai Mengxi mentioning that he was unhappy about losing the game? In fact, Li Yi really doesn't mind much.

After all, the Premier League is 38 rounds, a long-term league spanning one year, and two wins and losses at the beginning of the season are really nothing. Besides, there are too many coincidental factors in the loss to Liverpool! As a fairly reliable central defender, Lescott can actually own 3 times in a game, this kind of small probability event, Li Yi wants to say that maybe when he retires, it is impossible to come again, to sum up, Li Yi really can't think of anything worth caring about -

After playing Liverpool on the 13th and resting for only three days, Crystal Palace ushered in a game in midweek that was much more important for them than playing Liverpool.

Champions League group stage, home VS Real Madrid! This kind of game is heavy enough.

Speaking of which, Crystal Palace is also sad enough. Just been "abused" by Liverpool in the league, and then ushered in the absolute giant of Real Madrid, no matter what others do, in short, Friedman's recent brain is very hurt.

After studying his team for 3 whole days, in the end, although he had sketched out a roughly feasible plan in his mind, how could he face Real Madrid, plus the first Champions League match of his coaching career, Friedman really had no confidence to use such a game to train his courage. Therefore, in this game, Friedman was still "stubborn" and adopted the starting lineup that lost to Liverpool in the last game-

"Audience friends, audience friends, hello everyone, this is Sky TV, or my host JACK, today's Crystal Palace home vs Real Madrid game, I am still commenting for you.

Well, according to the management, before the start of the game, I will introduce you to the starting lineups of both sides of the game.

First of all, let's take a look at Real Madrid's side, it seems that Real Madrid's manager Schuster has not changed anything because the opponent is the new Premier League champion, and still adopts a large rotation.

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Casillas

4 defenders: 4 Ramos, 5 Cannavaro, 16 Heinze, 12 Marcelo.

4 midfielders: No. 23 Van der Vaart, No. 8 Gago, No. 14 Guti, No. 11 Robben.

At the top are the king of the small penalty area, No. 9 Van Nistelrooy, and the Lord of the Rings No. 7 Raul.

Well, after talking about the away team, let's take a look at the home team.

The home team, Crystal Palace, started today with no changes to the line-up they did when they lost to Liverpool in the previous round.

It's still 4-2-3-1

……

In this game, will Crystal Palace usher in the first two-game losing streak in nearly two years or stop the decline, defeat Real Madrid, and make a good start to the Champions League for themselves? Let's get into the game together. ”――

After the start of the game, although the overall strength, on paper, is not much weaker than Real Madrid, but due to problems with his own lineup, Friedman spent so long and did not find a good solution, for his own job, and insisted on arranging Yaya Toure and Modric to start together with the back, so it is inevitable that after the start of the game, after only resisting for 2 or 3 minutes, Crystal Palace was in the competition with Real Madrid, and was at a disadvantage.

In the 3rd minute, Van der Vaart stole the ball from Modric in the middle and passed straight into the penalty area, and Vanney shot into the side netting after the right rib of the penalty area was in an offside position, and Crystal Palace escaped.

Three minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback, Guti dribbled past two people on the left side of the penalty area, and successfully got a single chance, but unfortunately, in the end, Guti's one-handed push was saved by Diego López, and slightly off the goal.

Real Madrid won a corner

When the players in the Crystal Palace penalty area fought for the position, no one paid attention to the corner kick taken by Van der Vaart, and did not choose to cross directly, but played a tactical corner.

Received a tactical corner kick from Van der Vaart on the left, Guti crossed the low ball diagonally to the right side of the small penalty area, and the unguarded Ramos pushed the goal with his right foot, 1-0, Real Madrid led away!

In the 10th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy made a direct pass, Van der Vaart knocked the outside of his right foot, and Raul's left-footed curling shot in front of the penalty area grazed the post.

Waiting until the 13th minute of the game, Crystal Palace's side finally organized their first decent offensive of today's game, the ball successfully went to the feet of Bale on the left side after the transition of several players in the midfield, and after winning the ball, Bale took advantage of the opponent's right-back to insert the gap of the assist, and successfully crossed the bottom.

And Li Yi, who was ambushed early in the middle of the penalty area, did not disappoint Bale, pressing the opponent's 3 defenders and taking the lead in grabbing the first drop of the ball.

It's a pity that due to being squeezed forward and backward by several players on the other side, Li Yi's header shot was not able to hit the power, and was easily taken into the arms of Casillas.
