Legendary godfather of green grass

Corner, Bolton still won the corner.

Jedinak and Robertson looked at each other, their coach was right.This Eagles' footwork is indeed very good. The arc of that kick just now bypassed all the defensive players and landed precisely on top of the high point Knight's head.

With this guy and Knight here, the threat is great!

Speroni yelled loudly: "Virgil, you go to defend the big black man, don't let him hit the football easily, you know?"

Van Dijk's height has reached 193cm, although it is still a bit shorter than Knight.But Van Dijk is the highest in Crystal Palace, and his jumping ability is also good, better than Knight, a 32-year-old guy, and should be able to make up for the gap in height.

Van Dijk immediately nodded, indicating that he knew.

He immediately turned around and walked to Knight, and held Knight firmly, preventing Knight from easily getting a chance.

However, Knight is also very powerful, and Van Dijk did not have any advantage.

At this moment, Eagles, who went for a corner kick, suddenly kicked the ball straight to the front of the penalty area. The defensive midfielder Andrews who was ambushing there grabbed the ball before Kanter and exploded. shoot.

With a bang, the football whizzed out and shot towards the goal of Crystal Palace.

The sight of Speroni in front of the goal was directly blocked by Van Dijk and Knight in front of him, and he couldn't see the trajectory of the football at all.By the time he saw the football, it was too late.

The football flew straight into the upper right corner of the goal!

One to zero!

The Bolton team at home took the lead.

"Beautiful! Beautiful goal! Andrews' long-range shot can be called a world wave, and Eagles' pass is even more wonderful, almost everyone in the stadium did not expect it. This gave Andrews such An easy long-range shot, Eagles is really a genius!" Mortensen said excitedly immediately.

On the sidelines, Tong Yi's eyes tightened. This Eagles is indeed a bit of a monster this season.

But after this season, this guy's decline is too fast, it's a rocket-like decline.

Tong Yi immediately came to the sidelines and shouted at Jedinak and Robertson: "Remember what I said!"

Jedinak and Jedinak immediately waved to show that they knew.

"See, Bolton's current strength is indeed at the level of the Premier League. Although Crystal Palace's strength is not bad, they still have no chance in front of Bolton. I think Bolton should be able to win this game. Bolton Will be a favorite for promotion to the Championship this season!" Shearer continued.

Mortensen nodded slightly and said: "Indeed, judging from the current state, Bolton's strength is indeed higher than that of Crystal Palace. In this game, Bolton should be able to win at home. If we win this game, Bolton should be able to reach the top six, right?"

Shearer nodded and said: "It should be possible! It depends on how much goal difference they can get in this game with Bolton?"

Mortensen thinks Shearer has a point.

However, he immediately said: "If Bolton wants to score more goals, I think he should actually replace Martin Petrov on the bench, because the Bulgarian international's attacking ability is very strong. Yes, he can assist and score goals."

Petrov is indeed very strong. He used to play for Atletico Madrid and Manchester City.

It is a good choice to replace Petrov at this time.

At this time, Bolton's offense came again.

The starting point is Mark Davis in the middle. After he will continue to control the ball, he will pass the football to Eagles on the wing again.

Obviously, Eagles is now the absolute core of Bolton.

Most of the ball has to be handed over to his feet.

But as soon as Eagles received the football, his body was staggered by Jedinak who rushed up fiercely. The football under his feet was out of control in an instant and was broken by Jedinak.

Jedinak first pushed the football to Kante next to him.

Originally, Jedinak wanted to pass forward immediately and launch a quick counterattack.

But at the moment Eagles lost the ball, the Sanming Bolton players beside him reacted instantly, shrinking to his position and pressing high.Not giving Jedinak a chance to react quickly with the ball, their reaction was very fast, as if it was engraved in their bones.

This is Bolton's tactic.

It also seems to be a high interception and high-intensity oppression.

This tactic seems to be the same as Crystal Palace's tactic, but in fact the gap is still very large.

After Bolton loses the ball in the frontcourt, he will encircle and press the high position on the spot, but it is only limited to the players on the side of the opponent's player who steals the ball.Players in other positions will not follow these pressing players to press together like Crystal Palace, but will quickly retreat, return to their own defense zone, and set up a defensive formation.

The purpose of Bolton's on-the-spot counter-grab after losing the ball in the frontcourt was not to steal the football back.

The main purpose is to delay the opponent's quick counterattack, prevent the opponent from passing the ball forward at the first time, launch a quick counterattack, and buy time for their defensive teammates, and then they will slowly fall back to defend.

Of course, it is better to counter-robbery on the spot.

But they don't force it!

The main purpose is to delay the opponent's quick counterattack.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace is the team's high-position defense, which is almost non-retreating.It is to steal the football for you in the frontcourt and launch a quick counterattack on the spot.

Therefore, there is a big difference in the tactics between the two teams in essence.

Coupled with Eagles who lost the ball, the defense of these four still put a lot of pressure on Kanter.

However, the Bolton people still underestimate Kanter and Pogba.

Especially looking at Kanter with a smile.

Don't look at Kanter as a defensive engineer who specializes in intercepting and sweeping, but the work under his feet is also good.He even has a certain ability in offensive organization, and more importantly, he also has the ability to escape in a small range.

The Bolton people suffered from inertial thinking.

They think that a defensive black midfielder like Kanter who intercepts and sweeps is a typical rough guy. His skills are terrible at his feet, and his ability to get rid of a small-scale encirclement is zero.Therefore, they underestimated Kanter a bit.

Kanter seized the opportunity in an instant, made two flashes in a row, one after another, and easily got rid of the encirclement of these people.

"Dangerous! Bolton is in danger!" Hiller exclaimed immediately when he saw this.

All the Bolton fans at the scene were scared to death!

None of them expected Kanter to be able to get out of the encirclement so quickly.

At this time, Bolton's backcourt can be described as a mess.

Because these encircled players simply didn't buy enough playback time for their retreating defensive players. Now they are all in the middle of the playback and haven't returned to their positions yet. It looks very loose and messy.

opportunity!

This is an excellent counterattack opportunity for the Crystal Palace people.

Kanter directly saw Zaha in the space on the wing, he passed Pogba directly, and passed the football to Zaha's feet with a long diagonal pass.

When Zaha received the ball, there was a smooth road in front of him, and no defensive player intercepted it.

Zaha immediately dribbled the ball quickly diagonally towards Bolton's penalty area.

hiss!

All the Bolton fans at the scene burst into wild exclamations, it's dangerous.

At this time, Bolton's two full-backs, Tyrone Mills and Ricketts, were exhausted and returned to the penalty area, but they hadn't settled down yet.As for the two central defenders, neither of them stepped into their penalty area at this time, and they were thrown behind by Murray and Mane who advanced forward.

Even Pogba is going to catch up with them.

Three to two in the frontcourt!

Bolton is very dangerous.

Tyrone Mills had no choice at this time, he had to go up and block Zaha who was cutting inside.He tried his best to block and gave his defensive players as much time as possible to return to defense.

However, Zaha would never give this guy to Mills.

Zaha saw Murray who was going forward, and he immediately kicked up an arc pass and passed the football to the middle of Bolton's penalty area.

The football quickly bypassed Tyrone Mills who rushed out!

Murray in the middle rushed forward immediately and rushed to the front of the small penalty area.

Ricketts, who was defending Murray, saw Zaha passing the ball. He was shocked and rushed out immediately, followed Murray, and desperately went up to intercept Murray.

But he ran out a few steps before realizing that Zaha hadn't passed the football to the front of the small penalty area at all.

This guy Murray is just a cover to deliberately lure himself into being fooled.

The football was passed behind him and Murray by Zaha, and flew directly to the penalty spot.

There is no need to look back, Ricketts knows that Mane must appear in that position.

He turned his head and looked over, sure enough!

Sure enough, Mane appeared in that position, and Mane was unguarded.

Knight and Matt Mills had just regained their position on the penalty area line, and it was too late.

Mane saw the incoming ball, didn't stop the ball at all, and took advantage of the situation to shoot.

With a bang, the football flew towards the lower corner of the goal.

The ball is fast!

The Hungarian national goalkeeper Bogdan in front of the goal immediately fell to the ground and threw himself sideways, reaching out to intercept.

It's a pity that the speed of the ball was really too fast. Bogdan didn't touch the football at all, and the football rolled into Bolton's goal quickly.

In the No.305 minute of the first half, the away team Crystal Palace equalized the score.

It was Mane who scored the goal!

"Beautiful! Beautiful counterattack coordination! This set is really too smooth, these young people in Crystal Palace are really good. Especially Kante, who knows that this guy who has been doing rough work has such delicate moments. Although his small-scale escape may seem to be underestimated by the opponent, it is enough to show his ability and talent. This Kanter is really a treasure boy. Tong Yi is really very good at discovering young players. It's amazing!" Speaking of this, Hiller's eyes are actually full of envy.

It would be great if these talented players were discovered by their Newcastle United team.

"Hiss! Crystal Palace's counterattack speed is really too fast! Bolton's defensive players didn't react, and the opponent scored. This... Tong Yi is really good! I think, Mourinho O should be very interested in him, right?" Mortensen said.

When Friedman on the sidelines saw this, his pupils trembled.

Crystal Palace's performance really exceeded his expectations.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Tong Yi on the other side, and thought to himself: "This little guy really has two brushes!"

However, Friedman did not lose confidence in this game, he still firmly believes that they Bolton will win.Because the conceded goal was somewhat unexpected, if their players who defended against the press did not despise Kanter, Crystal Palace would not be able to fight back this time.

This conceded goal is not so much that they lost to the Crystal Palace, it is better to say that they lost to themselves.

As long as they pay attention in the following games, it is impossible for the Crystal Palace people to get another chance.

This game, we Bolton won.
