Chapter 426 Your Emperor Lin, Infinitely Rampant

The second half was about to start, and when the players of both sides were standing in their own half and preparing to kick off, the players of Crystal Palace felt that there seemed to be something new about the opposite Chelsea players.

It's a breath!

It was the anger that was suddenly beaten and disappeared at the end of the first half, and it came back again!
"Be careful and hold your ground! Just do what the boss says!"

Crystal Palace captain Jedinak cheered his teammates on.

Head coach Alan Pardew also instructed during the intermission that Chelsea fell behind by two goals and would definitely counterattack aggressively in the second half, especially in the opening stage.

Everyone knows that if a goal can be recovered quickly, the confidence of the behind will be restored a lot, and it is not a luxury to chase another goal.

Just as Pan Yi expected, Alan Pardew did not allow his players to defend against Chelsea's counterattack by shrinking the defense.

He decided to continue to let his players put pressure on the midfield, trying to destroy Chelsea's transmission in the backcourt.

Therefore, as soon as the whistle sounded for the start of the second half, when Chelsea's frontcourt attackers were about to attack Crystal Palace, the Crystal Palace players had already taken the lead and rushed towards Chelsea's midfield.

Bamford pressed aggressively up front.

The Chelsea loan striker didn't celebrate after scoring in the first half, but this just showed his respect for his club, but it didn't mean he didn't want to perform better in this game.

Isn't the purpose of being on loan at Crystal Palace to get more opportunities to play, so as to better improve yourself, and then to win the main position in Chelsea?
As for the frontcourt pressing style of play, he was very familiar with it when he was at Chelsea, and Pan Yi has always asked him to do so.

In addition, Bamford has very good frontcourt response, retreat and fulcrum ability, so he is also very adaptable to Alan Pardue's style of play, and gradually stabilized his position as the main striker of Crystal Palace.

Now, he just pounced on his old teammate David Luiz directly in the opening stage.

But after Chelsea passed the ball back, the distance between the three central defenders widened, and the continuous passing made it impossible for Bamford to grab the ball.

This is one of the biggest advantages of the three central defenders, which can create a more obvious numerical advantage in the central area, regardless of whether the opponent is a single striker or a double striker formation.

However, Crystal Palace's midfield is pressing hard now, and Alan Pardew made it clear that he wanted to suppress Chelsea from the very beginning.

Zaha, Pancheon, Li Qinglong and others in the frontcourt also actively pressed up, forcing Chelsea to pass the ball back into the penalty area and hand it over to goalkeeper Courtois.

After Courtois stopped the ball near the top of the arc, he saw that his teammates in the backcourt were being marked. To be safe, he directly kicked a big kick and passed it to the frontcourt.

Under the marking of Irish central defender Delaney, Lukaku successfully blocked his position, but when he stopped the ball and turned around, he was a little too big, and was cleared by another central defender Dann first.

The ball fell near the halfway line, and Azpilicueta burst out from the right and managed to intercept the ball before Jedinak.

Afterwards, Azpilicueta strode forward.

Crystal Palace left-back Soar was in hot pursuit. Azpilicueta saw that there was no good chance, so he passed to the center. After Kanter and Lingard passed, he soon reached Hazard on the side. at your feet.

After Hazard got the ball, Crystal Palace's defensive formation could not be shifted to the corresponding side in time, and only right back Ward was still reluctantly following.

But Hazard started up decisively and chose to cut to the most dangerous place in the ribs.

Ward saw that if Hazard cuts in, his penalty area would be breached, and goalkeeper Hennessy would be exposed to Hazard's firepower. In an emergency, he stretched out his hand and pulled Hazard down from the side. .

The referee rushed over, showed Ward a yellow card, and gave Chelsea a free kick on the left side of the front court.

Although this attack was ruined in this way, the Chelsea players on the field still carried out the intention of the head coach Pan Yi very well: mobilize left and right, and hit the ribs!

"At the beginning of the second half, Pan Yi replaced Gretzka with Hazard. Now it seems that this substitution is very targeted."

"Chelsea have clearly enhanced their breakthroughs in the frontcourt, especially in the front half of the Crystal Palace penalty area."

"Obviously, Hazard is more suitable for such a task than Gretzka."

"Although this breakthrough was destroyed by Ward's foul, Chelsea also won a free kick in a good position."

"Who will take this free kick? David Luiz and Harry Kane are good choices, but Hazard, who just came off the bench, is obviously more suitable for this angle and distance..."

"Now we'll see what Chelsea do with the free-kick."

On the field, several Chelsea players were discussing at the penalty spot.

Pan Yi has always attached great importance to the training of set-piece tactics, so whether it is a corner kick or a free kick in each position, there are several sets of coordination plans.

They are studying whether to use one of the plans to cooperate.

But at this time Hazard picked up the ball, wiped it on his jersey, and said firmly: "This ball, I will come directly."

This position is about 20 meters away from the goal. It is indeed suitable for direct shooting, not for tactics.

Moreover, such a short distance is not easy for David Luiz to score the elevator ball.

Hazard's footwork is indeed the best for kicking this ball!

Everyone in the Chelsea team admired the free kick skills of the ball king, so everyone had no objections and they all dispersed.

Yes, you don't even need a player to help you shake and make fake moves, it's Hazard VS Hennessey, heads-up!

After Hazard wiped the ball clean, he gently put it back on the grass.

After stepping on the turf behind the ball, he slowly retreated to the left.

He is a player with balanced left and right feet, and this posture shows that he needs to use his right foot to make a small arc.

The Crystal Palace did not dare to neglect, and set up a six-person wall under the command of the goalkeeper.

After Hazard heard the referee whistle, he slowly ran forward.

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Hennessey was positioned a bit closer to the center, because although Hazard looked like he was going to shoot directly, he had to be wary of the opponent's penalty from the far corner.

It's not once or twice that Chelsea's free kick kicked out some wonderful coordination!

The main reason is that the near corner position is already defended by a wall, which can give Hennessey more reaction time.

But Hazard took a lunge and quickly ran forward. He stepped heavily on the left side of the ball with his left foot, which was inclined at nearly 45 degrees to the ground. Then he swung his arms to maintain balance, and finally swung his right foot. A curveball.

Hazard's free kick had a very low arc, but the speed was very fast. The ball flew directly over the head of the Crystal Palace wall.

Cabaye in the wall of people subconsciously stretched out his head, but he didn't.

When he looked back, he found that the ball had already brushed the left post and got into the goal of Crystal Palace.

Hennessey, the Welsh goalkeeper didn't have time to react, he just watched the ball fall into the net in a daze.

The distance is too close, the speed is too fast, and they suddenly burst out from the side of the human wall. To be honest, even if a better goalkeeper is replaced, it is probably powerless.

"The ball went in!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"In less than 2 minutes of the second half, Chelsea scored the goal of Crystal Palace!"

"A beautiful direct free-kick from Eden Hazard brought back a goal for Chelsea!"

"One to two! Chelsea are only one goal behind!"

"Let's take a look at the slow motion. Hazard's direct free kick was very precise, and the angle was quite tricky. It hit the left post and hit the net, leaving goalkeeper Hennessy helpless."

"Pan Yi's substitutions worked again! After Hazard came off the bench in the second half, he used his breakthrough to create a free kick opportunity, and then took the penalty himself and scored!"

"Crystal Palace are only one goal ahead and they will probably feel a little nervous."

"This story also tells us that when facing a strong opponent like Chelsea, even if we lead by two goals, we must not relax at all!"

"Under Pan Yi's command, they have ten thousand ways to send the ball into the opponent's goal!"

Hazard didn't celebrate at all after scoring the free kick.

Even after he shot the goal, he followed the forward inertia and rushed directly to the Crystal Palace goal to pick up the ball, and then beckoned his teammates to return to their own half.

After all, the team is still behind and it is not time to celebrate.

Whether it is to hit Milan's unbeaten record of 58 games or look at the current game, Chelsea needs to continue to attack!
-
The game restarts.

As soon as Crystal Palace kicked off, Chelsea took the initiative to put pressure on their opponents.

Crystal Palace tried to go wide and advanced into Chelsea's half, allowing Zaha to try to break through on the left and pass the ball into the penalty area, but Courtois gave up the goal and picked it up in mid-air outside the penalty spot. down.

After getting the ball, Courtois immediately launched a counterattack in the penalty area, threw the ball casually, and handed it to David Luiz.

After the Brazilian central defender stopped the ball, he made a long pass and sent the ball accurately to the frontcourt.

Lukaku held Delaney with his back and stopped the ball with his chest.

Delaney and Dan flanked back and forth, trying to snatch the ball from Lukaku, but Hanhan dribbled the ball continuously with his left and right feet, and unexpectedly blocked the ball between the two defenders, and handed it to Lukaku. Hit the left rib, Hazard's feet.

Hazard sprinted forward, attracting several Crystal Palace defenders. Instead of choosing to continue, he passed the ball back to Harry Kane, who had retreated to the midfield.

Harry Kane stopped the ball, glanced forward, and what Pan Yi said during the intermission immediately appeared in his mind.

More transfers!
When Hazard created a free kick opportunity just now, it was also caused by too many transfers!
So, Harry Kane quickly made a diagonal pass with his right foot and passed the ball to the right rib of the frontcourt.

This happens to be the gap in the defense, and there is not a single Crystal Palace defender around.

And it was Lingard who rushed up from here at this time!

This is one of Lingard's characteristics, that is, as a midfielder, he also has some winger attributes. This kind of in-cut shot from the ribs is exactly what he is good at.

In fact, Pan Yi's 3-5-2 style of play is the most suitable for Lingard!

In Pan Yi's previous life, Lingard's peak moment was in 2018, when he gained enough trust and opportunities to play in Manchester United, and even became England's starting main force in the World Cup.

At that time, the England national team was using the 352 formation!

Lingard serves as the team's central midfielder. Sometimes he will stand in the left midfield position, and he will frequently go to the right to change positions. This is the same as he is now at Chelsea.

Due to Harry Kane's habit of retreating and taking the ball, England's two central midfielders had a lot of opportunities to move forward and change positions. At that time, Lingard and Ali played very well together.

And now Lingard's partner in midfield is Hazard, which is obviously a higher level.

When retreating, whether it is England or Chelsea, it is a 5+3 position. Lingard is on the left and right midfield positions, and can be adjusted at any time according to the situation on the field.

Because the three central defenders in England and Chelsea have good athletic ability and height, such a formation is also conducive to the hardness of the midsection on the defensive end.

Lingard sometimes feels like running around, but under the premise that the team has a guaranteed number of players in the middle and the overall framework is solid, Lingard's interspersed has a very good effect.

Maybe Lingard himself can't become a king-level figure, but his auxiliary technical characteristics give him a strange characteristic, that is, as long as his teammates are strong enough, his performance will not pull his hips.

Coincidentally, whether in England in 2018 or Chelsea now, there are forwards like Harry Kane who are willing to retreat to organize the offense, which also makes Lingard's "running around" more purposeful .

Because of Lin Huang's running, if no teammates find and pass the ball, isn't it just running around?
And now, Lingard's quick advance is supported by Harry Kane's pass!
He rushed to the front of the penalty area and stopped the ball before everyone else.

Facing Soar who returned to the defense in time, Lingard started decisively, dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area, and then volleyed with his right foot.

Instead of hitting the far corner, he pumped the ball towards the near corner.

Facing the sudden shot, Hennessey instinctively made a lunge, but was still a little slow, and the ball once again grazed the right post and entered the net.

"Goal again!!!!!!!!! This time it's Jesse Lingard!"

"OMG, 2 minutes! It's only been 2 minutes!!"

"Almost as soon as Crystal Palace kicked the ball out after conceding the last goal, Chelsea scored again!"

"Chelsea scored two goals in a row to tie the score! Two to two!"

"Crystal Palace continued to use high-pressure tactics at the beginning of the second half, and made a wide-ranging press on Chelsea's midfield. But the problem is that Chelsea obviously came prepared, and the large-scale transfer made Crystal Palace's press a bit at a loss."

"And Hazard's playing completely revitalized Chelsea's offense. These two cooperations were very sharp and resolute, and quickly penetrated the defense of Crystal Palace."

"Now it seems that Alan Pardew's tactics in the second half were a bit aggressive. He didn't choose to shrink the defense, but went hard with Chelsea. This obviously underestimated Chelsea's ability to counterattack, and he also suffered a bitter fruit."

"We can see that the Chelsea players are fighting now."

"After Lingard scored the goal, just like Hazard just now, he did not run out to celebrate, but scooped up the ball inside the goal line, and immediately ran back to the midfield, signaling the referee to kick off quickly."

"To equalize the score in such a short period of time, the Chelsea players are all motivated!"

"On the other hand, the Crystal Palace players lowered their heads one by one, and they were obviously hit hard."

"From breaking Chelsea's undefeated body to being equalized, it only took two or three minutes!"

"If Alan Pardew can't adjust the mentality of the players and the team's tactics in time, I'm afraid the final outcome will not be as simple as a draw..."
-
Obviously, Alan Pardue on the sidelines has also realized the seriousness of the problem.

If the current situation continues, the number of goals scored by Chelsea is likely to be far more than two goals...

What does a crazy Chelsea look like?

Just ask poor 'Canary' Norwich.

It is possible for them to fuck you ten balls in one game!
Although the current strength and state of Crystal Palace are stronger than Norwich City, but to be honest, they are not much stronger.

In a situation where strength and fighting spirit are all at a disadvantage, if they still forcefully fight against Chelsea, Crystal Palace's defense may really be sieved.

For Crystal Palace, there is a fairly favorable situation that the two sides are still in a draw.

Is it ashamed to take a point against Chelsea?No shame.

If Crystal Palace retreats, maybe Chelsea will choose to be more safe for their own unbeaten record.

So, after less than 10 minutes, Alan Pardew made a substitution.

He replaced attacking midfielder Lee Chung-yong with defensive midfielder McArthur, and then replaced attacking midfielder Phancheong with defender Kelly.

As a result, Crystal Palace's formation has also become 5-3-2 to strengthen the team's midfield interception, leaving only Zaha and Bamford in front to harass.

And Alan Pardue's substitution adjustments did help Crystal Palace stabilize their position, and the game fell into a stalemate again.

Until the 75th minute, Crystal Palace tried to hit the back and passed the ball into Chelsea's penalty area.

Courtois abandoned the goal, picked up the ball near the penalty area line, and threw it to the central defender Van Dijk who was pulled to the side. The latter stopped the ball and sent a direct pass, trying to find Aziz Pilicueta.

Azpilicueta pre-empted the ball with a diagonal pass to the left before the opposition midfielder came to press.

Hazard drove the ball straight in at a very fast speed, and rushed all the way, breaking into the left rib of the Crystal Palace penalty area.

This is the area where the Belgian is best at. The two central defenders of Crystal Palace were shocked and rushed over, but Hazard suddenly chose to cross the ball.

The ball passed behind the Crystal Palace central defender and landed in the gap near the penalty spot.

At this time, Lukaku, who was staring at Kelly, also rushed to the horse, but he faced Hazard's cross, but he made a fake shot with his right foot, but missed the ball lightly.

Behind Lukaku, it was Lingard who plugged in at a high speed!
Almost using the same shooting method, Lingard made another effort!
The ball flew into the right side of the Crystal Palace goal at a very fast speed.

Hennessey swooped sideways again, but was out of reach.

Another close angle!
The entire Schehurst Park stadium fell silent.

Two to three!reverse!

When his team led by two goals, it was reversed by Chelsea!
This time, the Chelsea players finally began to celebrate.

All the Chelsea players rushed out of the pitch, chasing Lingard and others all the way, rushing to the sidelines, hugging each other, celebrating the team's big reversal.

But Lingard suddenly got rid of the crowd, rushed directly to the coach of the home team, and started a dance performance.

I saw Lingard raised his arm first, and only made a gesture of raising his hand, which attracted the attention of many people.

There seemed to be a certain rhythm around him, and he flexibly followed the rhythm, constantly waving his limbs and twisting his hips.

forward.back.Left.right.

The continuous twisting gives people a very special feeling, probably similar to street dance, or mechanical dance, and there are even classic sliding steps like Michael Jackson.

In short, this should be Lingard's own set of dances, and now after he scored the overtake goal, he showed it in front of the opponent's coach to his heart's content!
Your Emperor Lin is infinitely rampant!
The Chelsea players also tacitly did not hug each other, but behind Lingard, some "play the guitar", some "knock the drums", some "play the violin", and temporarily formed a band to come Add to the fun of Lin Huang's dance.

It was clearly a throwback to Alan Pardew's first-half dance.

At this time, Alan Pardue was already pale, his eyes were empty looking at the stadium, as if he couldn't see what was happening in front of him...

Crystal Palace's scoring momentum did not end there, either.

In the final stage of the game, Chelsea once again took advantage of the corner kick, with central defender Zouma jumping high, heading the ball into the upper corner of the goal, and finally locked the score at 2:4.

And this score also officially announced that Chelsea has tied AC Milan's unbeaten record of 58 games in the five major leagues!
This also means that as long as there is one more game, Chelsea can break this magical record that has been dusty for more than 20 years!
And Chelsea's next round of matches in the Premier League is the 1st round on January 14, the home game against Manchester United!
Although there are still ten days before this game, although Chelsea still have a League Cup and an FA Cup game to play before this game;

But there is no doubt that this battle between red and blue is enough to whet the appetite of all fans around the world!
