"Oh, if only Jamie's shot was lower!" In the 23rd minute, Crystal Palace got a chance in the frontcourt. After Vardy got the ball, he got rid of Mikel and took advantage of it to take a long shot, but the ball really flew.

Very high. Elizabeth in the stands couldn't help but sigh.

"We have too few opportunities!" Companion Cheryl sighed next to her. Crystal Palace's strategy was indeed very successful. The players were in excellent condition, but they still did not dare to invest in offense, so they did not create many opportunities.

, Zaha made some very beautiful passes and suppressed Ferreira.

On the other side, Dzhirkov is also wary of Scannell's speed, but Vardy's offensive support is still not enough. No one is checking him. He doesn't have many chances to get the ball in the penalty area. This time it's all nonsense.

After receiving the ball in the penalty area, he took a hasty shot.

Wen Sheng has no intention of changing his offensive investment. For him, he must stay calm.

To be honest, neither team wants to play a rematch. Although Chelsea defeated Manchester United, they still face huge points pressure, and Ancelotti is still a foreign monk. The Premier League has always been known as an open league and inclusive.

Very strong, but what outsider with the ability can't be attacked by a group of people?!

The same goes for Wenger, the same goes for Mourinho, and the same goes for Ancelotti.

His team is at the top of the list and he is a master of tactics from Italy. The following games will definitely encounter strong resistance from every team. The league will never be over until Manchester United truly has no hope.

As for Crystal Palace, the league is also the highlight and there is no room for error. The English Championship play-off final will be called the final worth 100 million pounds in later generations. It is not that expensive now, but it is not much different. Wen Sheng and the others need to establish

It has its own points advantage to ensure that it enters the promotion play-offs, otherwise it will not even be qualified to participate in the competition for tens of millions of pounds.

Wen Sheng believes that Chelsea will always lose their composure. They deserve to win and they need to solve the problem of places in the finals as much as possible in this game. At that time, it will be Crystal Palace's opportunity.

Ancelotti and Wen Sheng have similar thoughts. Everyone wants to reach the final and will try their best, but no one can afford to wait. It just depends on who makes a mistake first.

Deco is restricted, and Ancelotti is not meat on the chopping block. Wen Sheng still restricts his team. First, he adjusts the team's backcourt route, and second, he makes Mikel closer to Deco.

, the third is to let Deco position a little further back.

It depends on whether Wen Sheng dares to push Kanter out again.

Of course Wen Sheng would not push Kante out, nor would he let Kante extend the distance between him and Derry and Ndiaye behind him. He quickly reacted to ask Kante not to stick too deep and restructure the midfield.

defensive line.

Taking advantage of Wen Sheng's adjustment, Ancelotti was very good at taking advantage of this opportunity. Chelsea launched a wave of offensive climax, which lasted for almost 8 minutes. The ball was always swaying inside and outside the Crystal Palace penalty area. Chelsea shot several times.

In the 34th minute, Joe Cole cut in and shot, but Speroni saved it bravely.

In the 35th minute, Malouda made a pass and Drogba shot from the front. It was Speroni who resolved the danger and hit the ball out of the penalty area.

Just after Hills made a clearance, Chelsea made a comeback again. They played wonderful cooperation on the right side. Zhirkov passed the ball and Lampard inserted into the penalty area and shot. Lawrence was lying on the grass to make the clearance. Lampard's shot was blocked by Delhi again.

The continuous shots made the Crystal Palace fans afraid to show off their anger. Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and did not yell because he was worried to death. After adjusting, the midfielder had not yet adapted, and Chelsea's offensive was relatively fierce. He was so nervous.

Already speechless.

Fortunately, thanks to the individual courage of the players, Crystal Palace survived these difficult eight minutes.

After gaining a foothold, Crystal Palace's midfielder retreated consciously, and the two wingers also became two full-backs at Wen Sheng's request. They fully deployed their defense. Chelsea fell into a difficult positional battle again. Ancelotti was aware of the situation.

When the good opportunity passed, they had to worry about Crystal Palace's sharp counterattack, so their two full-backs Ferreira and Zhirkov were not too active in pressing forward.

"Huh!" Wen Sheng took a long breath. As the situation eased, his nervousness was greatly relieved, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"There's not much time until the end of the first half, I hope the team can hold on!" Parrish couldn't help but pray to himself while sitting on his chair.

Next to him, Wayne wanted to take out a handkerchief and wipe his forehead. The April day in London was not very warm, and Wayne didn't wear much clothes, but the attack just now was really scary, and he also came out because of nervousness.

sweat.

Hearing Parrish's prayer at this moment, Wayne smiled and said: "Don't worry, Steve, the situation is temporarily stable now! I think it should be okay to survive the first half! It's just that the team was too exhausted in the first half.

Too big, can the team hold on in the second half?!"

The first half of the game was divided into several small stages. In the first stage, both sides started cautiously, but the confrontation was fierce. The game was frequently interrupted by Webber. The second stage was a stalemate. Wen Sheng's targeted tactics restrained Chelsea's midfielder.

The field was running smoothly and the wings also put pressure on the opponent. Chelsea's offense was more difficult. In the third stage, Ancelotti made tactical adjustments. Chelsea's offensive climax made the Crystal Palace door in danger.

No matter which stage it is, from a factual point of view, Crystal Palace relies on diligent running to limit its opponents. This kind of physical exertion is very large. Wien is not the coach of the team, but even if he is not a coach, he can see it like many fans.

The out-of-body energy consumption is much greater than that of Crystal Palace.

What is even more worrying is that captain Delhi received a yellow card for a tactical foul, but Chelsea did not receive a card at all.

It is said that the problem he is worried about is indeed a serious problem, but Wen Sheng and the others have not thought about it, but there is absolutely no way to solve such a thing. If it is not a last resort, Wen Sheng will only change one person, Zaha.

Zaha performed very "lively" in the first half, but the little guy is only a little over seventeen years old, his body has not fully grown up, and it has only been more than three months to adapt to the intensity of first-team training, so he cannot use it to death.

On weekdays in the league, Zaha does not start many times. The regular main force is still Ryan Smith or Darnes.

Just when everyone thought the first half would end in a draw, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

In the 43rd minute, Crystal Palace got the ball and moved forward. After getting the ball, Zaha started his performance again. Facing Mikel and Ferreira on the wing, they had to jointly guard against them. Zaha still stumbled past them.

Entered the restricted area.

A standard shot fake deceived Alex. When Alex blocked the ball, he knocked down Zaha who was actually about to break through.

Zaha rolled a few times on the ground, covered her feet and cried out in pain.

Webber didn't hesitate at all and pointed his hand accurately at the penalty spot.

Crystal Palace were awarded a penalty towards the end of the first half.

Following Webber's gesture, the Crystal Palace fans burst into cheers.

The team played very well, but the performance that shined mainly was on the defensive end. As for the offensive end in the first half, everyone's impression was probably Zaha's sharp passing and Scannell's speed to surpass Zhirkov.

The Crystal Palace shot was only completed 4 times, while Chelsea also had 8 shots.

Wen Sheng waved his fist excitedly, and then thought that the penalty kick had not yet been taken. It was not too early to celebrate like this, so he quietly lowered his hand.

Although it was a bit far away, Wen Sheng could still see clearly or was 90% sure that this should be a penalty kick!

However, the Chelsea players were unhappy with this penalty. Alex innocently said that he did not touch Zaha's foot, and then he ran to Zaha and said, stop pretending, we all know you are diving.

The Chelsea players were divided into two groups. Terry and others surrounded Webb to tell him the "facts", while the other group ran to Zaha and accused Zaha of diving.

Deli arrived with several brothers. He was very calm. The situation was now in their favor and there was no need to fight with each other. He and Lawrence squeezed into the circle to protect Zaha.
Chapter completed!
