🔴🔵 heights and lows for Crystal Palace

In a few short days, Crystal Palace experienced a unique series of rewards and consequences for their FA Cup victory in May by lifting the Community Shield on Sunday and losing their attraction through their UEFA Europa League less than 24 hours later.

Less than three months after winning their very first trophy, Palace returned to Wembley Stadium in the weekend to combat the Premier League champions Liverpool and added another piece of silverware to their growing collection. The Reds started a strong start with new signing Hugo Ekitike score in the fourth minute, but Palace had their tying runs 13 minutes later thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta, who scored a penalty. Liverpool was again the 21st minute at the front due to another new signing in Jeremie Frimpong, but Palace was standing up for the challenge and in collaboration with the second equalizer of the team in the 77th minute. Goalkeeper Dean Henderson then brought out the stops in a penalty shootout with one save when the Eagles won 3-2 and started their season at a peak.

The match offered the newest sign that Palace is an upward route under manager Oliver Glasner, the Eagles that show that they were the challenge against a revitalized Liverpool team that has one of the exciting attacking players of the game. Palace surpassed Liverpool 14 to 12 and surpassed them with expected goals with a margin from 2.07 to 1.1, but perhaps the most striking, they exposed the defensive vulnerabilities of the Reds, as James Benge remarked from Wembley.

• Curvature: “When it all clicks, it can be extremely effective, [Milos] Kerkez A Dynamo shoots past the ball on runs that bring midfielders and Frimpong always wants to stretch to the name rule. … on the other hand, however, such advanced defenders were exploited too often. Ismaila Sarr dragged Kerkez Infield and Palace kept hit the Crossfield Ball for Daniel Munoz to run on, [Cody] Gakpo offers little protection, whether he went back or not. Liverpool also struggled the center, Jean-Phillipe Mateta drove behind it to claim a ball. Alisson scribbled to block the first break, but nobody was present in white to tackle the danger before Virgil van Dijk dropped Sarr. “

However, the community shield was perhaps just a nice distraction for the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) about whether they have violated UEFA’s multiclub – and whether they would play in the Europa League of Conference League this season. Palace fans made a protest against UEFA for Sunday’s community shield with banners and used torches in the early moments of the match to draw attention on a plate with the text “UEFA Mafia” behind one of the goals.

Monday, as many had expected, did not land in their favor. The CAS ruled that Palace was contrary to the rules of UEFA on two different points – the first deadline of 1 March and an extra deadline of 31 May that would have been more realistic for Palace to meet, because it was after they won the FA Cup and qualified for the Europa League. The American businessman John Textor held a 43% interest in Palace at the time of both deadlines, while he also held an interest in Lyon, who also qualified for the Europa League this season, where the CAS last month the sale of that textor to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson was too late.

Palace will currently be confronted with the loser of the Europa League qualifying match between Fredrikstad in Norway and Midtjylland van Denmark before booking their place in the competition phase of the Conference League for their very first season of the European competition. Nottingham Forest will be bumped to the Europa League instead after their seventh place Premier League finish in May and will automatically qualify for the competition phase.

🩵 Manchester City, Rodrygo and a Domino effect

Manchester City may have done most of their summer companies at the beginning of this year, but the side of Pep Guardiola may just have a busy week for them with a number of remarkable expenses – and a large income.

The winners of the UEFA Champions League from 2023 are reportedly considering a movement for Rodrygo, Real Madrid’s Wilaway attacker who has become excess for the requirements prior to the first full season of Xabi Alonso who is in charge of the team. Madrid’s asking price is around $ 116 million for the Brazilian player, According to Fabrizio RomanoAnd there may be room for him in the plans of Guardiola, given the Players City plan to load by the time the window closes on 1 September. Multiple reports suggest that Savinho, the winger who came to Cityes last season, is on his way to Tottenham Hotspur in the hops of more consistent playing time for the World Cup.

Although Rodrygo and Savinho may be a similar Swap, Savinho will not be the only controversial departure from the Etihad stadium if everything goes according to plan. The pursuit of Nottingham Forest from the 22-year-old midfielder James McATee is back, while Jack Grealish is ready to get used for the season at Everton. The role of Grealisk near City has taken off in recent years and he was omitted from their team for this summer’s club in the US, where James Benge wrote that a move to Merseyside could only be the ticket to discover what Grealish can actually offer when he approaches 30.

• Curvature: “The fear of Everton should be about to pay great wages for an soon 30-year-old who has lost his burst and who does not do many meaningful scoreboard contributions, on average only six Premier League goal contributions per season in city colors. Everton has recovered in the rest of the Acquisie, gelno. to go? “

💵 Dear bets

• EFL CUP First round: Watford vs. Norwich City, Tuesday, 2.45 pm
  💰 The choice: Less than 2.5 scored goals (+110) – Just like all 22 other championships that will kick off their EFL cup trips this week, Watford and Norwich City will shake the rust of the preseason when they hit the field on Tuesday. Even then their opening matches of the championship weekend three days earlier do not exactly offer the most encouraging sign that Tuesday in Vicarage Road will have many goals – Norwich scored once in a loss of Millwall on weekends, while Watford is still looking for their first goal of the season after a loss for Charlton Athletic. Tuesday’s match is perhaps a competitive, but expects a modest score, regardless of the way it waves.
