Football Legend No. 13

After returning to the dressing room, the atmosphere in the team was a little strange.

For them, conceding two goals in a row in the first half was a blow because they didn't want to give up the fight for the final title of the season.

If they lose, it is almost equivalent to losing their chance to win the championship.

The 10-point gap, especially with 6 rounds, is almost a last chance.

"Beaten! Cheer up, we can still lose, there are still 45 minutes, we don't try to fight, how can we just throw in the towel? "

Pellegrini knows that he is still careless about his tactical arrangements, but he can't say that they are not doing well on the field.

The front has always been played according to the formation of 4231, and now it is changed to 442, there will indeed be some minor problems, but I have to say that this time Crystal Palace caught this point very well, then the second half will be changed back, there is still time, there is still time!

"In the second half, Edin came down first, Moussa was ready to play, we went straight to 4231, I believe you can win this game!"

Dzeko didn't look very good when he heard him go off at the beginning of the second half, and as Aguero's performance gradually improved, his position had become a little awkward, and there was only one point left - the role of the tactical fulcrum, which made him want to leave here.

Moussa Sissoko, who was named, nodded in agreement, for him, professional football is to follow the coach's instructions.

After making personnel changes, Zheng Lin was promoted to the left midfielder position, and David Silva moved to the front back.

This is the formation up front against Barca, and Pellegrini has pinned his hopes on it.

After all, the final key to victory on the field is the players.

The second half begins.

Manchester City quickly implemented the personnel change, and as their formation changed, the Crystal Palace players on the field did not dare to press so much.

Because Manchester City in this formation can play their best together.

For Manchester City's change of formation, Crystal Palace began to defend in a targeted manner, and they also know who Manchester City's most threatening person is?

Moussa Sissoko at the back, David Silva in the front, Zheng Lin at the left midfielder and Sergio Aguero at the centre.

As for Berardi, who is a right-back, his attack is a certain threat, they are all fighting attacks, and Crystal Palace is not afraid!

At this time, the ball is still at the feet of Crystal Palace, still at the feet of Manchester United veteran Zaha, this time he does not dare to be too rash, because Zheng Lin's defense is better than David Silva!

His advantage is speed, but this speed is not an absolute advantage for Zheng Lin, so at this moment Zaha is not so confident in his dribbling, so he chose to cooperate with his teammates.

Pang Qiong, who is in the midfield position, also stepped forward decisively, because in order to win Manchester City, they must press out to attack, and it is not feasible to squat behind to defend.

After all, Manchester City have enough quality to score, and the best way is to extend the scoreline.

When Zaha was doing the second cooperation with his teammate Pang Qiong, he was recognized by Zheng Lin and was directly intercepted by Zheng Lin's long leg.

Manchester City, in turn, began to fight back.

In the advance, Berardi's, Aguero and others have quickly stepped forward.

Facing Zaha and Pang Qiong, who were defending back, Zheng Lin's clever stoppage made the two almost collide, and it was at this time that Zheng Lin slashed out with his right foot, and the football went towards Berardi on the right.

Berardi unloaded the ball before Martin Kelly, and he is known for his speed as a winger.

I saw Berardi make a smash and shake Martin Kelly who was defending him, and he directly kicked an arc cross.

This cross can't say that there is a problem with the choice of people, which is a test for Aguero, after all, his height is not dominant here!

However, Aguero's sense of smell in front of the door is quite sensitive, and for this foot cross, Aguero also noticed Zheng Lin, who had approached, and he looked at Zheng Lin and understood the meaning of people.

This cross, Aguero did not have the slightest reservation, this gap in physical talent made him only watch Delani clear the ball.

But this solution is indeed not very far, just happened to be snatched by Zheng Linka in front of Ledley, Zheng Lin leaned on Ledley, he kicked sideways, followed by David Silva directly shot.

“GOALLL！！！！！"

'David Silva pulled a goal back for Manchester City and it only eased their first-half deficit and they were one goal away!'

"Yes, if they lose, then for them there is only a theoretical possibility to compete for this season's league title!"

......

The game resumes.

Having already scored a goal, Manchester City have been pressuring even more fiercely and they do not want to lose, especially after Chelsea have won this round of league games, there is only one way for them to go.

You can just give up, but that's not what Manchester City want!

As City pressed too far, the Crystal Palace players realised it was also their chance to kill the game.

If you score another goal, it will be a victory for Crystal Palace!

But that's just ifs.

Despite the pressure too far forward, Manchester City did not take it lightly, Vincent Kompany and Demichelis remained in the same rear and the two of them knew very well that they were the last barrier in front of Joe Hart and must be held.

After nearly 25 minutes of ball transfer, City have yet to find a chance.

As time goes on, this is for Crystal Palace that victory is getting closer!

In the 84th minute, Manchester City were still in control of the situation on the pitch, which was almost the last goal for them.

If they can't score, it means they lose the last initiative and can only claim second place in the league!

After a few passes, the football once again rolled to Zheng Lin's feet, and for Zheng Lin, all he had to do was try his best to get the football to where he belonged.

After a few fancy moves in succession, Zheng Lin has advanced to the vicinity of the penalty area, and now there is the last step left - breaking the goal!

At this time, Zheng Lin passed Ward with a croquette, and he just stepped into the box with one foot and was pushed to the ground by Ward from behind.

"Drip!"

"Is this Ward blocking the Crystal Palace?"

"The foul here is afraid of a penalty, because the place where Zheng Lin fell is already in the penalty area!"

"From the point of view of the return defense just now, if Ward had fouled earlier, then this penalty could have been avoided, so that a set-piece in front was acceptable for Crystal Palace, and now it has become a penalty, then for Crystal Palace, it is a nightmare!"

"The person in charge of the penalty is Aguero, in the very important game ahead, Zheng Lin snatched a penalty from Aguero, he did not miss a penalty, then now it is up to the owner!"

Yes, now standing in front of the penalty spot is Aguero, this time Zheng Lin did not step forward, because in Little Thirteen he has simulated countless times, each time failed to win the final league title, which is very disappointing for him.

And when he learned that the summer window was going to bring in the Bundesliga assist king, then he became a little confused about his future at Manchester City.

He had a thought in his heart – he wanted to escape Manchester City, but his inherent pride told him that if he left Manchester City, wouldn't it be telling others that he was afraid of De Bruyne?

In order to maintain his pride, Zheng Lin intends to compete with others for the starting position next season!

Watching Aguero run, Zheng Lin also took a deep breath.

"Knock on the door!"

"Shhh!"

"The football was saved by Speloni! But he didn't hold it, Zheng Lin grabbed the ball and wanted to make up for it, and was finally directly blocked by Dane from the bottom line!

"Oh my God! Normally Aguero's kick is bound to be scored, and he actually missed the opportunity to become a Manchester City hero, which almost indicates that Manchester City have one foot out! "

The 2-1 scoreline, with less than three minutes left, is quite a pressure for Manchester City!

And this is still an away game, although there is a corner kick chance, it is just a chance!

The person in charge of the corner kick was David Silva.

He takes a corner, it's a corner to find a back point.

At this time, Manchester City has all been pressed, and they have also opened up in order to get this most important 1 point!

"Zheng Lin has arrived!"

"Hey, it's a pity that it was directly confiscated by Spelloni!"

With Zheng Lin's header secured by Spelloni, it meant that Manchester City lost 2-1 away to Crystal Palace.

......

With the whistle of the referee sounded.

The cheers rang out at Selhurst Park Stadium, and the whole stadium fell into a sea of joy, even the crystal bow players in the stadium hugged each other, for them, they were able to stay in the top flight in England for once, and this was their victory!

Conversely, the Manchester City players had some frustrated expressions.

Zheng Lin, who has experienced the penalty in the Champions League, has also grown a lot, he has nothing to say about the loss to Crystal Palace, there is no too much explanation for the loss, if you really want one - it is their performance in this game or Crystal Palace!

And Aguero, who missed the penalty, was blinded and dazed, and until the end of the game, he was not able to get out of that muddy state.

So are several other players.

After a pause, Kompany took the lead in coming to his senses, as captain, he had to appease his teammates, which was the responsibility of a captain and a preparation for the next city derby!

They want to get the quality back from Manchester United.
