Chapter 455 bottomed out

However, for Crystal Palace, this group of people who are just substitute players will be abused from the first round of the league, deep in the relegation zone, and Middlesbrough, who has not been breathing, will not be easier.

What, don't believe it?

Take a look at Palace's starting line-up for the game against Middlesbrough.

Goalkeeper, since goalkeepers don't usually need to do too much intense sports in the game, Diego López is the only main player arranged by Friedman in this game when he played Chelsea before.

Next, take a look at the backline, Danny Alves! Who's this? This is Li Yi's main right gate that Barcelona couldn't beat in his previous life. The reason why he did not appear in the previous games of Crystal Palace is certainly not that his ability has not been recognized by Friedman, it is simply because Alves was very unhappy before moving to Crystal Palace, he suffered a small injury and has been recovering until now.

In addition to Alves, the defenders who appeared in the VS Middlesbrough lineup today are - central defender Hudson + Barzaretti, left-back Richardson. These are the main members of Crystal Palace when they won the Premier League title last season, and their ability is needless to say.

Look at the midfielder after watching the defense: Sissoko + Muntari, if you just look at their attack, you may think that they are not even as good as many Super League players, but if they are purely compared to the interception ability in the back position, they are not far behind Vieira at their peak.

In addition to the black wind in the midfield, the remaining three players are: Ramsey on the left, Nasri on the right, and Nasmith in the middle.

At the top is the Spanish international Llorente.

I believe you also know why Crystal Palace was able to easily beat Middlesbrough 4-0 in this League Cup! ――

After playing the Carabao Cup against Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace rested for only three days, and at the weekend local time, they once again ushered in a new round of Premier League challenges.

Finding the right tactics, coupled with the absolute strength of Alves' assist, returned from injury, in this game, Li Yi, as a striker, played an easy game that had never been seen this season.

In the end, with Li Yi's hat trick and Bale's icing on the cake, Crystal Palace, sitting at home, defeated the visiting Bolton 4-0, and announced the recovery of his form with a wave of three consecutive wins. Well, in the words of the brick family, Crystal Palace is called a standard strong team bottoming out!

After playing the sixth round of the Premier League, they also only rested for only 3 days, and Crystal Palace once again ushered in their final game of 8 days and 3 games, and at the same time, it was also a game that was much more important than the previous games.

In the second round of the Champions League group stage, he challenged Juventus away.

Speaking of which, Crystal Palace is really tragic enough. The first time I participated in the Champions League, I was yin by UEFA, and I was thrown into the group of death, even if I was in the schedule, I was so cheating.

First play Real Madrid, and then play Juventus, such a schedule, let alone a Champions League newcomer like Crystal Palace, even if it is thrown to Manchester United, the defending champion of the Champions League last season, it is definitely enough for the Red Devils to drink a pot, do you say cheating?

What, you have to say that after passing through the phone gate, Juventus has fallen from the top European giants and become a garbage team in 2nd gear?

For this kind of statement, the only thing Li Yi can say is - hehe.

If anyone has any doubts about whether Juventus is still a strong team, it is better to take a look at Juventus's starting line-up first!

According to the first-hand information obtained before the game, in the next Crystal Palace vs Juventus game, Juventus is the starting 11 like this:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Buffon. As the winner of the best goalkeeper in Europe for several consecutive years, and recognized as the best goalkeeper in the world, Buffon's ability does not need to be repeated!

Defence: Left-back No. 3 Chiellini, 2 central defenders Salihamidzic, Zambrotta, right-back Zebina.

Among these 4 defenders, except for right-back Zebina, the others are all regulars of the national team, among them, Chiellini and Zambrotta, are the main candidates of the Italian national team, the two of them, plus the above-mentioned Buffon, are enough to drag the defensive task of any European giant, and their ability is beyond doubt.

After talking about the back, let's look at the midfield: No. 11 Nedved, No. 6 Zanetti, No. 19 Marchisio, No. 16 Camoranesi.

Among these 4 people, except for Zanetti's average ability, the other 3 are all super practical players whose ability is greater than their reputation.

Among them, Brother Xiao and Camoranesi, the two regular main players of the Italian national team, even if they are left aside, Nedved alone is enough to explain everything. This central axis will definitely make the Crystal Palace want to die.

Finally, it's time for Juventus to attack!

No. 10 Zebra Prince Piero, No. 9 Iaquinta.

To tell the truth, although the zebra prince Piero who was born in 74 has long passed his prime, yes, today, he has also passed the age of 34, and he has reached the high age of the 34-year-old footballer, but his ability is still something that all the teams that play against Juventus are afraid of.

To sum up, for such a Juventus, who else dares to say that it is weak? ――

"Toot, toot, toot!" With the referee on duty blowing the whistle, the Champions League group stage, which was defined by Friedman before the game as a life-and-death battle for their Champions League, kicked off.

In fact, as the manager of Crystal Palace, there is really no exaggeration to define this game for Crystal Palace's players before the game.

After losing the first meeting with Real Madrid, Crystal Palace's prospects for promotion are not very optimistic.

Just imagine, if Crystal Palace loses again in this round, then their points after two rounds will be an embarrassing 0 points.

Although it is said that in the 6-round Champions League group stage, there are 0 points after 2 rounds, and there is still the possibility of a final comeback. However, when there is a better choice, pushing yourself into the abyss and finding another chance to get out of trouble is obviously not what Crystal Palace wants.

Therefore, no matter how those bricks in the outside world advise Crystal Palace, at Juventus's home stadium, it is a victory to snatch a point, as Crystal Palace itself, for this game, they are determined to win.

……

Unconsciously, the game was fiercely entangled between the two sides, and it came to the 20th minute of the first half.

In the past 20 minutes, both sides of the battle have created a lot of good chances to score, but unfortunately, I don't know if it was discussed in advance, the goalkeepers of the two teams have used their excellent performances to ensure that the goal behind them is not lost.

……

Twenty minutes passed, and Crystal Palace, who were aiming to win today's game and rushed to attack as soon as they came up, slowly slowed down their pace on the field.

After all, the players are also human beings, and you can't expect each of them to play the whole game like the undead robots, and if they do, it is estimated that Crystal Palace will have to be after the game.

While talking, taking advantage of the gap between Crystal Palace slowing down the rhythm on the field, Juventus, who has been suppressed by Crystal Palace on the field and has been idle for more than 20 minutes, took the opportunity to give Crystal Palace such a head start!

Nedved, who was holding the ball near the center circle, shook off Modric's pressing with the ball seemingly without threat, and suddenly, for Piero, who was in front, sent a precise through ball comparable to a scalpel.

In the end, it is fortunate that Piero is 34 years old this year, not to mention 10 years ago, but if Piero can be five years younger, the outcome of this goal will definitely be turned upside down.

Feeling the feeling of weakness in the last few steps of chasing the ball, and watching Diego López take the ball into his arms with a sideways pounce, Piero seriously considered whether he needed to leave Juventus after this season.
