Chapter 606 A game without the smell of gunpowder

What the? Crystal Palace's backline is solid enough that it doesn't need reinforcements?

NO,NO,NO！ Regarding this argument, whether it is Li Yi or Friedman, they definitely have the opposite attitude.

Because, this Crystal Palace's defense, especially the 2 central defender positions, seems to be in good shape, and no one in Europe can ignore the existence, but if you want to use this back line to deal with those top giants, it will undoubtedly be slightly insufficient.

Otherwise, you can't explain that not long ago, Crystal Palace were scored by Manchester United and then by Liverpool by four.

Although the poor form is one thing, and the suspension of Kompany, who is the cornerstone of the backline, is another, the reason is that Crystal Palace's defense, especially the central defender position, is not solid enough.

But without Kompany, you won't be able to defend, so how can you deal with multi-front battles with such a defensive line?

What's more, in the past few games, perhaps others have not discovered Li Yi, who has known him in his previous life, but it has been clearly discovered that after careful study in the past two seasons, Manchester United and Liverpool have found the weakness of Crystal Palace's backline.

Lescott!

As one of the main central defenders of Manchester City who Li Yi was familiar with in his previous life, Lescott's ability is undoubted firstly, and secondly, the defense of the frontal high-altitude ball is its strength, and it can be said responsibly that if the frontal high-altitude ball defense is relatively positive, even Thiago Silva, who is recognized as the world's first central defender, will not get much benefit in front of Lescott.

However, Lescott will always be far away, and can only be called an excellent central defender, and cannot be ranked among the top central defenders in the world, because, compared to his excellent heading skills, one of his weaknesses is also so distinct!

Slow turn! This shortcoming, not big, not small, when Kompany was still there, because there was a mobile Kompany behind him to make up for the defense at any time, Lescott's weakness was cleverly hidden.

However, when Kompany was injured and Lescott's partner became Barzaretti, Lescott's weakness was infinitely magnified, especially against the top European teams.

It didn't matter when Kompany was there, he was blown up when he was replaced by Barzaretti's defense, so the main responsibility is still on Balzaretti? Barzaretti is incompetent?

In fact, on the contrary, as the active main player of Italy, the world's top defensive national team, Barzaretti's defense is absolutely no problem.

The main reason for the above problem is that Barzaretti's technical characteristics are different from those of Kompany.

Is there a mobile Barzaretti? A must have!

However, it is very regrettable that since he was not a professional scouting in his previous life, Li Yi made suggestions for Crystal Palace to introduce this Barzaretti in the early stage, and he is a central defender who is excellent in other defensive aspects, but does not turn quickly.

One turns super slowly, the other turns not fast, such a combination of central defenders, without Kompany, without conceding more than one goal per game, is already a super level of performance, and the opponent has not eaten their luck, want to ask for more? That's impossible.

Therefore, Crystal Palace's current backline, especially the central defender position, is not only not as unbreakable as people think, but even has a fatal weakness, and it is imperative to change blood.

And Godin is undoubtedly a very suitable existence for the current Crystal Palace.

Li Yi remembers him, not because Godin scored key headers in the two games mentioned earlier, but because when he usually defends, Godin bursts out with that amazing sense of complementing defense in Simeone's system.

Fast speed, excellent sense of supplemental defense, and excellent header kung fu, height is not too disadvantaged, and more importantly, this is the yellow submarine that is very likely to be relegated after the end of this season, how to look at Godin, Li Yi feels that this is a gift left by God and ready to reward Crystal Palace, such a player, how can he not encourage the club to win it?

As for the possibility of a transfer at the end of the season under Federer's inducements?

Not to mention that Li Yi didn't think about where his next home would be at all at this time, and whether he would transfer or not would be a temporary two-word thing, even if he thought about it, at least now Li Yi is still a member of the Crystal Palace, in his position, seeking his job, and helping the Crystal Palace to reach a higher level, shouldn't it? ——

The topic is away from the topic, turning his attention back to the field, this ongoing Champions League 4 points and 1 final.

Before you know it, the first half of the game between Crystal Palace and Villarreal went to the 30th minute.

However, in the past 30 minutes of the game, not to mention the fans who spent money to buy tickets to watch the game today, even if it is a game that is famous for driving the atmosphere and humorous commentary, JACK, with the Sky TV No. 1 actress Christie 61 Gallaher by his side, both of them are lethargic.

Even if the expert with rich imagination before the game, he can't imagine why in the face of this scum with obvious combat effectiveness of only 5, Crystal Palace, which is fighting away, will behave so cowardly, and even the La Liga relegation team last weekend, also in this stadium, 4-1 The home team's Real Betis also dumped you Crystal Palace?

For those who hold such a point of view, Friedman, who is standing on the field and sitting on the sidelines, wants to say something in different languages, but the content is the same, and the translation is - get out!

It's a big shame for Villarreal's coach Manuel Pellegrini to think that he didn't play Sun Tzu's art of war and deliberately lost a game 3 days ago in an attempt to confuse Crystal Palace, but, is Crystal Palace so stupid?

Maybe there was before, but after being woken up by Liverpool, Crystal Palace paid enough attention to the yellow submarine, so there was this situation on the field today.

……——

Seeing that the situation on the field is delayed and cannot be opened, the two sides seem to be discussing, each attack, the number of inputs is not more than 3, not so much in the attack, but purely to delay the opponent's offensive time, the 2 teams on the sidelines have long had a tacit understanding, and the coach who wants to wait for the other party to make a mistake first is not in a hurry, and the players of the 2 teams that are fighting on the field are not in a hurry, and JACK, who is about to fall asleep in the studio, first broke out his dissatisfaction "Hey, what are the two warring sides thinking?" Could it be that seeing that today's European handicap opened for Crystal Palace's away team to handicap and a half, and want to join forces to kill those bookmakers?

If so, then the owners of the bookmakers who sit in the bank today are probably going to cry to death. Because, after this game, even if they don't go bankrupt immediately, their assets will at least shrink by several percent.

However, I wondered, you said that Crystal Palace participated in the European competition for the first time, because you don't know anything about this Villarreal from Spain, and you chose to defend the tactics at the beginning, even if you are the home team, you are sad enough to make your fans sad in the league, and you are about to be relegated, and now you are in the only fig leaf Champions League, you are still so unenterprising, do Pellegrini really think that this game was played 0-0, and after eating their characteristics, return to the home stadium of Crystal Palace, is there any hope for your broken team?

If Manuel Pellegrini said yes, it would undoubtedly be the most ridiculous joke I've ever heard this century. ”

Are Villarreal right home fans?

As if hearing the call from the studio JACK, today came to the home stadium of Villarreal, with a poetic and beautiful name, the home team fans of the Love Song Stadium, after watching the players on both sides on the field for a full 40 minutes of passing training, sending the god-level data of the 2 teams with a total of 0 shots, they couldn't bear it, and finally broke out!
