Chapter 624: Opportunity is just around the corner

The team behind wants to defend, and the team with the lead wants to continue to attack, which is not a situation that has never appeared in previous games, but it is still very rare.

As the opponent of Crystal Palace in this game, Villarreal also pondered for a long, long time, until Bale obviously had a single chance and did not shoot directly, but instead drew a horizontal pass to try to pass the ball to Li Yi, and then was destroyed by them, only under the reminder of Giuseppe Rossi, he understood that what has never been the kind of unforgiving Crystal Palace, today's game will behave so abnormally.

Breaking the record is obviously a very honorable and very happy thing.

However, this break also depends on the person and the object, as the one who broke the record, it is true that you are happy, but the same reason can be proven, in this world, there will never be anyone who is willing to act as the back# of others to break the record. For example, Villarreal today is not willing to do such a stupid thing.

Therefore, in the next game, the fans of both sides who were present today were fortunate to witness the farce of the small half.

One side is either not to score, or Li Yi must score the goal, and the other side is that you want to score a goal, but if you want Li Yi to score, you can't force it.

This kind of thinking is shown on the pitch, and it is really very comedy.

For example, in the 80th minute of the game, seizing Villarreal's offensive error, Crystal Palace played a quick counterattack and formed a good situation of 2 against 2 in the front.

2 to 2 in the front, Crystal Palace is involved in the attack again Li Yi and Sneijder, to tell the truth, this kind of opportunity, Li Yi does not say 100% in peacetime, at least more than 5% hope to score, this is not nonsense.

However, just today, even if he is as confident as Li Yi, after Sneijder controls the ball and enters the 30-meter area of Villarreal, he does not dare to say that he will definitely be able to score, and even, all Li Yi can say is that the probability of scoring a goal will not exceed 10% in his attack this time.

So what is the reason why Li Yi's chance of scoring is so low?

Well, have you ever seen that when the opponent is 2 to 2, the 2 defenders collectively ignore the ball carrier and wrap Li Yi together, even if Sneijder scores a single goal, he resolutely does not relax his defense against Li Yi?

If you haven't seen it, you've got the privilege of seeing it today.

If you've seen it before? Congratulations, at least you can relive this scene that you haven't been able to see in a hundred years today, right? ——

Seeing that the opponent was willing to let go of his own single knife, and didn't try to directly block his own attack by cooperating, to tell the truth, Sneijder, who was holding the ball at this time, was also stunned.

He has never seen a player from any team, Niu Bcheng like this.

Isn't it just a record? Besides, what Li Yi wants to break is the total goal record in a single season in the Champions League, not a single-game goal record, do you say that you Villarreal need to do this?

You must know that 2-0 and 3-0 are not the same concept.

If the final score of this game is 2-0, even if it is as strong as Crystal Palace, I dare not say that I will definitely advance, and I have to be careful and careful in the next game.

But if the score is 3-0, it will be very different, in their home stadium, even if they are substitutes, to keep the 3-0 advantage, this little bit of confidence, Crystal Palace, there must be.

Glancing at the 2 Villarreal central defenders who were taken to the weak side by Li Yi at the same time, Sneijder took the ball and deliberately took 2 steps towards the position of the 3 people, and found that the other party really ate the scales and didn't care about himself, what Sneijder could do was to ignore Li Yi and move forward with the ball.

In the end, in the face of the attacking goalkeeper Stojkovic, Sneijder calmly pushed the near corner to score, helping Crystal Palace rewrite the score on the field to 3-0.

After seeing the form on the court, Friedman was still a little cautious, wanting Li Yi to continue to be a bait, help other teammates score a few more, and completely lock in the final victory.

However, after Li Yi was deliberately put down by the opponent several times in succession with the ball, Friedman, who was afraid that Li Yi would be injured, had to let go of the little thought in his heart and take Li Yi off the field.

As the source of the offense, Li Yi's fate basically means that the game is over.

Sure enough, in the following games, both sides were very friendly and did not create any decent chances, and just like that, the score of 3-0 was maintained until the end -

3 to 0, such a game, it can be said that it was expected by everyone before the game, and it was unreasonable.

After all, anyone who has watched this game will know that this game, in fact, Crystal Palace theoretically speaking, their performance is really not enough to match this score.

It can only be said that creation makes people.

Three days after the match against Villarreal, Crystal Palace headed away on weekend night local time to usher in a new round of league tasks.

In view of the 3-0 score away, the points have been guaranteed to the team to enter the top 4 in advance, so in this game, Friedman did not arrange a large-scale rotation, but played with all the main forces.

In the end, Crystal Palace, who played with all the main forces, won their opponent 2-1 away from home, and continued to maintain the lead over Manchester United in the standings.

Then, on April 16, Crystal Palace played the second leg of the match between the two sides with Villarreal as usual.

In the case of hiding many absolute main players including Li Yi, Modric who returned from injury, Bale, etc., Crystal Palace, which is sitting at home, played 0-0 with Villarreal.

0-0, such a score, is ordinary, but the meaning behind this 0-0 is not extraordinary at all.

The first time he participated in the Champions League, he reached the top 4 historically, and what is even more exaggerated is that in this season, Crystal Palace, which is fighting on the 4th line, is really unstoppable.

The League Cup has been won, the FA Cup has reached the final, there is only one game left against Everton, and there is no big surprise, winning the title is not a problem.

In the league, Crystal Palace also showed the momentum of defending their title, so far, a total of 31 rounds of the league have been played, with seven rounds remaining, Crystal Palace is four points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.

The advantage of 4 points is not big, but 4 points is just a hurdle, a hurdle that Manchester United cannot cross in an instant, so to speak, although Crystal Palace is far from being sure of the success of defending the title at this time, at least the chances of winning the championship are much greater than that of Manchester United......

And the day after Crystal Palace's Champions League 4-point 1-final against Villarreal, the four teams that advanced to the top 4 in this Champions League were all produced.

Here, it is worth mentioning that the clash between Manchester United and Arsenal can really be called earth-shattering.

Okay, it's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's a sure thing that the two teams of them worked together to present 2 games that can be talked about by future generations for fans all over the world.

In the first leg, Manchester United won Arsenal 3-1 at home, a score that made the whole world almost believe that Ferguson would win again in the clash with his old rival.

Who would have thought that Arsenal would play away like a sick cat, since 04-05 that season undefeated, can be called a demon season, Arsenal, which has not won any championships, returned to their home stadium, after the Emirates Stadium, will launch a crazy counterattack, and finally they really succeeded in counterattacking?

2-0, plus the away 1-3, the last two sides were tied 3-3 on aggregate, Wenger and his disciples, with the first leg of the game, the general Van Persie's golden away goal, successfully squeezed out the Premier League overlord Red Devils, followed by Crystal Palace, and entered the top 4 together.
