At halftime, Dongfang Chen did not receive instructions from McLeish, and Dongfang Chen instantly understood that he would continue to sit on the bench in the second half of the game.

To be honest, Dongfang Chen was a little disappointed, he was ready to come off the bench after halftime. In the first two games, he almost came off the bench in this time period.

The media reporters at the scene were also waiting for Dongfang Chen's substitute appearance, many of them came here today to see Dongfang Chen's watch, and then report on Dongfang Chen.

Now they saw that Dongfang Chen had no intention of coming off the bench at all, and they were in a bad mood.

An Xiaoxi sat in the press box, in a very anxious mood, "Could it be that Dongfang Chen won't be able to play this game?" ”

Zhong Dajun shook his head and said: "This is unlikely, Dongfang Chen has a chance to play, but the playing time will be a little shorter today." ”

Soon, the second half of the game between the two sides officially began.

Crystal Palace put on a stubborn posture as soon as they came up, and they were very satisfied to be able to take a point away from St Andrews.

Of course, when they were ahead, they couldn't get the three points, so they naturally had some regrets.

However, Neil 61 Warnock did not lose his mind, knowing that in the current situation, it will be difficult for Crystal Palace to find the back of the net against Birmingham. He's certainly not stupid enough to risk looking for another goal, and his goal now is clear, which is to defend, hold on to this draw and take away a point.

So, as soon as the second half began, Crystal Palace began to defend to the death.

Birmingham City, on the other hand, are not going to accept the current result, what they need is a win.

The second half of the Birmingham team continued the momentum of the first half of the game, pressing all the way and attacking aggressively.

At the start of the second half, Birmingham's attacks were full of threats, frequently threatening the Crystal Palace goal, making the hearts of Crystal Palace fans beat faster and frightened.

Just five minutes into the second half, Birmingham were awarded a direct free-kick from the right side of the penalty area, when Sebastian 61 Larsson curled a shot towards Crystal Palace, and the ball grazed the crossbar and flew off the line.

Five minutes later, Birmingham City made a comeback, Sebastian 61 Larsson Stadium curled a cross from the left, and Kevin 61 Phillips, who followed up in the middle, jumped to the top, but unfortunately the ball flew directly into the arms of Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian 61 Speroni, who had surrendered.

After another three minutes, Birmingham played a fine combination in central midfield, with five men tearing through the Crystal Palace defence with a succession of passes, and Kevin's 61 Phillips back-heeled pass from the penalty line almost gave McFadden a one-on-one face to the Crystal Palace goalkeeper.

It's a pity that McFadden's shot hit the outside edge of the right post of the goal and bounced off the bottom line.

The fans of the Birmingham team at the scene immediately broke out with earth-shattering regrets, and in the VIP box, Yang Jiacheng stomped his feet and regretted it.

At this time, Yang Jiacheng couldn't help but look at the bench, and thought to himself: "At this time, it should be replaced by Dongfang, Alex!" ”

However, McLeish still made no substitutions and the game continued.

Five minutes later, Birmingham had another chance when Lee 61 Carsley fired a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball was fired towards the Crystal Palace goal, but it was unfortunately beaten out by the Crystal Palace goalkeeper, and the Crystal Palace defender Joseph 61 Font cleared the ball.

At this time, McLeish on the sidelines looked at the watch on his wrist, and he suddenly turned around and shouted to Dongfang Chen on the bench: "Dongfang, go warm up and come back in five minutes." ”

Dongfang Chen heard McLeish shouting his name, he immediately took off his coat, threw it on his seat, and ran to the sidelines. The other players on the bench cast envious glances at Dongfang Chen.

"Uncle Zhong, look, Dongfang Chen is warming up on the sidelines!" In the press seat, An Xiaoxi pointed to Dongfang Chen, who was warming up on the side of the court, with some excitement.

Zhong Dajun nodded: "Well, now Dongfang Chen is going to appear!" ”

The other reporters in the press gallery naturally also saw Dongfang Chen, who was warmed up, and their hearts were overjoyed, and they took out their cameras, aimed at Dongfang Chen, who was warming up, and pressed the shutter with a click.

In the VIP box, Yang Jiacheng, the chairman of the Birmingham team, also saw Dongfang Chen, who was warming up, and secretly said in his heart: "You are finally going to play, show yourself well!" ”

During the warm-up period of Dongfangchen, the Birmingham team created another good opportunity.

On the wing, Birmingham City midfielder Sebastian 61 Larsson faked a cross past Crystal Palace full-back Gini and into the box, shooting straight at goal from a tight angle, and the ball flew towards the Crystal Palace goal.

In the horrified eyes of Crystal Palace fans, Crystal Palace's goalkeeper Julian 61 Speroni spevelled the ball to the bottom line with both palms, and the Birmingham team returned again in vain.

Corner kick! Birmingham City get another corner!

McLeish called Dongfang Chen to his side and arranged: "Dongfang, how did you play in the first two games, and how do you play after you play, do you know?" ”

Dongfang Chen nodded and said, "Got it, coach!" ”

McLeish said, "Call me boss, Easter!" That's what everybody calls me! It's okay for me to call you that, Easter? ”

Dongfang Chen's heart was shocked, he knew that McLeish really accepted them and changed his previous opinion of him. Dongfang Chen was very excited, and he immediately said, "Of course not, coach." Evenly, it's the boss! ”

McLeish laughed, patted Dongfang Chen on the shoulder and said, "Go up and play well, I'm looking forward to your goal!" ”

Dongfang Chen said confidently: "Don't worry, boss." I won't let you down! ”

After finishing speaking, Dongfang Chen followed the fourth official holding the display card to the sidelines.

Substitution!

Birmingham City request a substitution!

Dongfang Chen stood beside the fourth official, who was holding up the sign in his hand at this time, showing a red "10" and a green "18".

"Substitution! Birmingham City finally made a substitution! The long-awaited superhero Dongfang Chen finally appeared, and he replaced Jemro, who had a poor performance today. Sky Sports commentator Andy 61 Gray said immediately.

On the pitch, Jemmro didn't have too many surprises when he saw himself being substituted. He knows very well that his own performance today is not very good.

Jemuro immediately ran off the pitch and time was of the essence for Birmingham and he didn't want to waste it.

When he came to Dongfang Chen's side, Jemulo gave Dongfang Chen a hug, and said in Dongfang Chen's ear: "Come on Dongfang!" One more hat-trick! ”

Dongfang Chen patted Jemulo's back and said, "Thank you!" ”

After the two let go, Jemuro ran to the bench, while Dongfang Chen leaned down and stroked the green turf, which seemed to have become a habit of Dongfang Chen.

"Uncle Zhong, Dongfang Chen is on the field, do you think he will continue the excellent performance of the previous two games?" An Xiaoxi stared at Dongfang Chen's back and asked.

Zhong Dajun also stared at Dongfang Chen's back and said, "It's hard to say. I hope he has a good appearance, so that we have the value of staying, otherwise we will have to go back to China! ”

Dongfang Chen rushed into the Crystal Palace penalty area like a galloping horse, at this time, he had no way to explain the tactics of head coach McLeish to his teammates, he had to complete the corner attack before he had time to introduce the new tactics to his teammates.

Corner kick! Birmingham corner!

Dongfang Chen is 1.83 meters tall, although he is not particularly tall, but he can be regarded as a high point in the penalty area of the Crystal Palace team. Moreover, Dongfang Chen scored a hat trick in the first two games, full of threat, and the defenders of the Crystal Palace team naturally couldn't ignore Dongfang Chen.

Joseph 61 Fonte, the central defender of the Crystal Palace team, immediately pasted it and followed Dongfang Chen to death, not giving Dongfang Chen any chance.

Honk!

The referee blows the whistle on the serve!

Sebastian 61 Larsson in the corner kick area immediately raised his right hand in the air, essentially pointing at the sky.

Dongfang Chen in the penalty area instantly understood that this was the team's No. 1 corner kick tactic!

Dongfang Chen immediately began to move slowly in the penalty area of Crystal Palace, and Joseph 61 Font, the central defender of the Crystal Palace team, immediately noticed the abnormality, and he quickly followed Dongfang Chen, like a piece of kraft candy, sticking tightly to Dongfang Chen.

Sebastian 61 Larsson in the corner area made a quick run and then slammed a kick into the ball.

In the Crystal Palace penalty area, all the Birmingham players rushed towards the back post. Dongfang Chen, who was in the middle of the penalty area, also spread his feet and rushed out towards the back point, and the central defender of the Crystal Palace team, Joseph 61 Font, was shocked and rushed out towards the back point quickly.

At this time, Dongfang Chen, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped and turned around, and rushed out towards the front point with reverse acceleration.

Dongfang Chen, who was running rapidly, and Joseph 61 Font, who was speeding up suddenly, staggered by, and Joseph 61 Font was shocked and shocked.

"Oops, fooled!" Joseph 61 Font was terrified.

Joseph 61 Fonte immediately turned around, ready to rush towards the front of the penalty area. But as soon as he turned around, he saw that Dongfang Chen had jumped up, his body standing in the air, so high!

Yes, just high up!

Dongfang Chen jumped too high this time, Joseph 61 Font and all the Crystal Palace players were able to look up at Dongfang Chen, out of reach.

The football flew over at a rapid pace, just above Dongfang Chen's head.

In the St Andrews Stadium, all the Birmingham fans bounced up from their seats at this moment, held their breath, pressed the fiery passion surging in their chests, and looked at Dongfang Chen high in the stadium with anticipation.

An Xiaoxi also stood up instantly, she was slim like a blooming white lotus!

High in the air, Dongfang Chen's eyes stared closely at the flying football, and when he saw the football fly in front of him, Dongfang Chen's head smashed into the football fiercely.

Boom!

Dongfang Chen's forehead hit the football fiercely, and the football immediately changed direction and flew straight towards the Crystal Palace goal.

The ball is fast, like a bolt of lightning!

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian 61 Speroni desperately soared into the air and stretched out his arms to block the ball flying towards goal.

But football is still so far away!

Football, without any suspense, flew into the goal of the Crystal Palace team!

"Gooooo......oo
