115: McKay's Move, Tong Yi's Response
Cardiff City Stadium, Wales, December 2012, 12.
What is going on here today is the highlight of the 2012th round of the 2013-24 season of the British Championship. The two sides are Cardiff City, which ranks second in the league, and Crystal Palace, which ranks first in the league.
This is the battle of Tianwangshan in the English Championship this season.
There are a lot of Cardiff City fans here today.
However, the entire home field does not look like the home of Cardiff City.
Because the jerseys worn by the fans in the stands in the stadium were very messy, and they couldn't feel the atmosphere of the devil's home court.
In the stands, some fans wore red home jerseys and became part of the Red Dragon, cheering for their team.But more people are wearing the blue jerseys that used to be, claiming that they are still loyal to the Blue Jays, and they also pulled out countless banners to accuse the team's owner.Xi Zeng Changyi asked Zeng Changyi to leave.
They also shouted neatly: "Please respect the history of the club, let the red dragon go, welcome back the blue bird!"
Of course, there are still some Cardiff City fans who are neutral and swinging, wearing white jerseys, not joining these two groups, and seem a little silent.
Some even didn't wear team jerseys.
It looks a bit chaotic.
See, even though Cardiff City's performance this season is so good, the fans of Cardiff City are still unacceptable. Almost every home match day has become a battle day for the traditional faction to crusade against Zeng Changyi. They are here at home Fight Zeng Changyi to the end.
Seeing such a situation, Tong Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that the Cardiff City people could achieve such a good result, which is amazing.
Tong Yi looked at Cardiff City's head coach McKay.
McKay is still very young. Wearing a white shirt and black suit, he really doesn't look like a 40-year-old. Although the hair on his forehead is a little thin, he still looks very energetic.
This guy still has some abilities.
Last season, he led Cardiff City to sixth in the league and participated in the play-offs to upgrade to the Premier League. Unfortunately, they lost to third-ranked West Ham United in the first round.This season, he has led the team better, and now ranks second in the league. It is really possible to directly lead the team to the Premier League.
Now Cardiff City executives and fans are full of expectations for him.
At this time, McKay looked high-spirited and confident.
He came to Tong Yi's side, stretched out his right hand towards Tong Yi, and said, "David, I'm sorry, but we, Cardiff City, have won this game!"
Tong Yidu was taken aback, this guy McKay is a bit maverick, different from others.
Of course, Tong Yi saw the confidence in McKay's eyes.
Tong Yi nodded slightly and said, "Really?"
The corners of McKay's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "Of course!"
Tong Yi also smiled and said, "Then we...we'll see!"
McKay said, "We'll see!"
Then, McKay turned around directly and walked towards his coach's bench.When he just turned around, he muttered: "Fuck, you're so fucking young!"
Tong Yi was taken aback for a moment, he just heard something vaguely, but he didn't hear clearly.
He ignored it, turned around and walked back to his coach's bench, and sat down.
This game is naturally very important for Crystal Palace, and Tong Yi's goal is naturally to win.With this victory, the gap between their Crystal Palace and Cardiff City will be reduced to 14 points. In that case, they will be much easier in the second half of the season.During the half-time break, Tong Yi emphasized many times that this Cardiff City team is very strong and must be careful, especially the two central defenders on the back line, they must pay attention to the opponent's two forwards.Because these two forwards are the kind of fast horses who are not tall, short and flexible.
So these two people are really very lethal among the tall central defenders in the Championship.
Be sure to keep an eye out for these two forwards.
The players of Crystal Palace nodded one after another, expressing their understanding.
Tong Yi also believes in his players, this game should be able to win.
"Hello, viewers and fans! I'm Mortensen, and I'm here again!" BBC Sports naturally broadcast the game live. After all, this is the battle of Tianwangshan in the Championship Perhaps next season these two teams will be able to appear on the Premier League stage.
"Hi everyone, I'm Shearer! Today I'm still partnering with Mortensen!" Shearer said.
"Today we are bringing you a focus match in the 2012th round of the 2013-24 English Championship. The two sides are Crystal Palace at the top of the league table and Cardiff City at the second place in the league. This will be a collision of sparks. It was an earth-like game, and I believe that the excitement of this game will not let us down," Mortensen said.
"It is indeed the case. The offensive power of these two teams is very good, and they are both very sharp. Moreover, the two teams are currently the two teams with the highest wins in the Championship. If the two teams will meet, I believe It's going to be amazing!" Shearer said.
The game is about to start, and players from both sides stepped onto the court.
Today's starters are as follows:
Home Team: Cardiff City, Manager: McKay, Formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Davide Marshall
Back four [left to right]: Andrew Taylor, Ben Turner, Mark Hudson and Kevin McNaughton
The midfield four [left to right]: Craig Noone, Peter Whittingham, Jordan Mucci and Craig Conway
Forwards: Heidar Helgusen and Craig Bellamy
Visiting team: Crystal Palace, head coach: Tong Yi, formation: 4-2-1-3
Goalkeeper: Edward
Back four [from left to right]: Robertson, Delaney, Van Dijk and Ward
Double midfielders: Dick Garcoy and Kanter
Single midfielder: Pogba
Three strikers [from left to right]: Zaha, Murray and Mane
This is the starting lineup of both sides today. Jedinak, the midfielder of Crystal Palace, has been suspended for accumulating yellow cards. Today's starting lineup is Dick Gakoy.
Dick Gakoy's strength is also good, and the defense should be stronger when partnered with Kanter.But it is a bit weaker in terms of offense. Dick Gakoy is slightly inferior to Jedinak in terms of offense, at least in Tong Yi's Crystal Palace team.
Seeing the lineup of Crystal Palace, Cardiff City's assistant coach David Colslake said to McKay: "We have a great chance in today's game. Bellamy and Haidar's chances are here!"
McKay looked at Delaney and Van Dijk on the defense line of Crystal Palace after hearing the words, and he also slightly nodded and said: "There is a great chance!"
The two central defenders of Crystal Palace are the kind of tall central defenders who are very good in frontal interception defense and high-altitude ball defense.But they have big problems turning and catching up, at least against Bellamy and Helgusen.
In this game, Cardiff City have a great chance.
Of course, Tong Yi also saw the two forwards of the Cardiff City team, and he naturally knew that these two men should be a great threat to Van Dijk and Delaney.However, Tong Yi was not worried.Because he is very confident in their Crystal Palace's high press and oppression, it is almost difficult for the Cardiff City players to pass the ball comfortably to the feet of these two strikers. How could these two men threaten Van Dijk and the others?
Therefore, Tong Yi is still very confident in this game.
Sure enough, the process after the start of the game was as expected by Tong Yi. It was difficult for the Cardiff City players to comfortably pass the football to Bellamy's feet.Even, it is difficult for them to pass the ball forward comfortably in the midfield.
Under the crazy high pressure of the Crystal Palace, the Cardiff City players could only keep passing back and forth, and then directly opened their feet to find the front striker under the fierce pressing.
However, Cardiff City's two starting forwards in today's game are not very tall, and neither of them has an advantage in high-altitude shots.
Bellamy is 175cm tall and Helgusen is 178cm tall. How could these two have competed for the 193cm tall Van Dijk and the 190cm Delaney on the high-altitude ball? This is completely crushed.In front of these two tall central defenders, Bellamy and the two were like a doormat, unable to get the ball at all.
Even Bellamy and the others couldn't compete for Dick Gacoy.
Therefore, almost none of Cardiff City's long passes fell to the striker's feet, and they were directly controlled by Crystal Palace.Then the Crystal Palace people immediately launched a fierce attack, besieging the Cardiff City team, and the Cardiff City team's goal was really jittery.
The faces of the Cardiff City fans at home were very ugly seeing such a scene.
Speaking of which, in the previous game, they have never seen Cardiff City so embarrassed.
Is Crystal Palace really that strong?
Is the strength of Crystal Palace really higher than the level of the English Championship?
At this time, after the Crystal Palace team played a very delicate pass and cut cooperation in a small area on the wing, Robertson on the wing went directly to the edge and received Pogba's oblique ball.Robertson didn't wait for the opponent's full-back to rush up, and directly kicked the pass.
The football drew a beautiful arc in the air, quickly bypassed the two central defenders of the Cardiff City team in the penalty area, and flew directly to the rib of the penalty area.
The fans of Cardiff City were very dissatisfied and their faces were livid.
The two central defenders in the penalty area just now obviously had a chance to touch the football to clear the siege, but these two damn guys acted very funny. One raised his leg to intercept as if in slow motion, and the other didn't even have a godly leg at all. He raised his chest and used his chest to block the football from the bottom line, but he obviously misjudged the landing point of the football, which seemed very funny.
The fans of Cardiff City can't stand it anymore!
What are you guys doing?
Those fans who opposed Zeng Changyi immediately roared crazily, cursing Zeng Changyi from their mouths.This made Zeng Changyi, who was sitting in the VIP box, look very ugly, what does it matter to me?Is it not my fault that the players played poorly?
Just after the football slid past the defender of Cardiff City, a yellow-blue figure in the penalty area flashed into the ribs of the penalty area in an instant. The bottom right corner of the goal.
Marshall's reaction in front of the goal was actually very fast, and he quickly moved from the middle to the back to save, but it was too late, and the football quickly entered the goal of Cardiff City.
One to zero!
Under continuous tide-like attacks, Crystal Palace finally broke through Cardiff City's goal in the 17th minute of the first half, and it was Mane who scored the goal.Mane once again proved Tong Yi's amazing vision with a goal, and Mane is worthy of the special genius clause.
McKay on the sidelines was very angry, he got up and punched hard on the windshield on the coach's bench.
