PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Crystal Palace defeated Southampton 2-1 and successfully advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.

Crystal Palace's opponent in the next round of the FA Cup is Liverpool!

This opponent is really strong for Crystal Palace. It’s hard to say whether Crystal Palace will advance to the next round.

At this time, media reporters were not very optimistic about Crystal Palace.

Liverpool only has the FA Cup left now. What do you want Rodgers to do? .???.

Without winning this championship, would Rogers still be able to stay?

Paul Cup, do you think it’s really just for fun?

Liverpool will definitely abandon everything to fight with you, Crystal Palace, because they just want to win this championship.

Why do Liverpool people insist on competing with Crystal Palace for the FA Cup? Because in the first leg of the just-concluded English League Cup semi-finals, Liverpool lost 0-3 at home to Chelsea and almost missed the English League Cup final.

Therefore, the Paul Cup changed from the League Cup to the FA Cup.

So, Crystal Palace you are screwed.

Crystal Palace is unlucky to encounter Liverpool like this.

After Tong Yi learned about this, he said calmly, "Is Liverpool very strong? Not really! To be honest, I have the same idea as many Liverpool fans. Rogers is no longer suitable for Liverpool, and Liverpool should change their coach.

Therefore, we at Crystal Palace will also go all out in the FA Cup match."

All the media reporters were shocked. What kind of grudge does this guy Tong Yi have against Rogers? He actually treated Rogers like this?

Rogers was interviewed by media reporters. He smiled lightly and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect David to be so jealous of me. This is something I didn't expect! Don't worry, we at Liverpool will also go all out in the FA Cup."

!”

Well, it's still early for this game, and these two teams have already matched up.

This makes media reporters and fans full of expectations for this game.

However, it is obvious that everyone has to wait for a long time. The next round of the FA Cup will not be until February 15th.

It’s only January 24th, so it’s still early.

Now Tong Yi is ushering in the second leg of the English League Cup semi-final against Sheffield United.

In the first round, Crystal Palace won 1-0 at home, which gave them an advantage.

But in the eyes of Sheffield United fans, the point difference is not very big. Sheffield United has a chance. And this also shows that they are at home, and they will definitely be able to win this game.

.

Nigel accepted an interview with media reporters. He said, "We are in a very bad situation now. We are behind the powerful Crystal Palace. But if you want to say that our Sheffield United team has no chance at all, there is definitely a problem. We are here."

Playing at home, I believe we have the possibility to create miracles!"

Yes, Nigel is still very confident in himself.

His words also gave Sheffield United fans full confidence in this game.
Sheffield United fans believe in Nigel.

Nigel's performance when he came to Sheffield United was very good. Sheffield United fans all felt that it must be Nigel who could lead Sheffield United to promotion.

Sheffield United is now fifth in English League One. Even at the end of the season, they are still ranked fifth in English League One, and they can participate in the promotion play-offs.

Therefore, Sheffield United’s airtight door really believes in Nigel unconditionally.

They firmly believe that Nigel will be able to lead Sheffield United to achieve good results.

This time, Sheffield United will definitely be able to counterattack, win, and advance to the League Cup final.

After all, this game is their home game of Sheffield United.

With their support at the scene, they will definitely win this game.

However, Crystal Palace fans don't think so.

Crystal Palace fans all believe that Sheffield United, a League One team, is really no match for their Crystal Palace. Even if this game is against Crystal Palace with an incomplete lineup, they can still easily defeat Sheffield United.

Even before the game, Adriana said, "Sheffield United is indeed the dark horse of the English League Cup this season, but it is almost impossible for them to reverse Crystal Palace. Because Director Tong will not agree to this game. Crystal Palace

At least you won’t lose!”

Because they already won the first round, if they don't lose in this round, Crystal Palace will advance.

Before this game, the second leg of the English League Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Chelsea had ended.

Liverpool defeated Chelsea 2-1 away from home.

However, in the first round, Liverpool dug too deep a hole, and eventually lost to Chelsea with a total score of 2 to 4, and missed the final of this season's English League Cup.

Therefore, the winner of Crystal Palace and Sheffield United will go to the English League Cup final to compete with Chelsea for the League Cup championship.

So far, media reporters and fans are more optimistic about Crystal Palace.

Even those famous football players who were not very optimistic about Tong Yi before the game believed that Crystal Palace should be able to win this game and reach the final.

However, they all believed that Crystal Palace should lose to Chelsea in the final.

In their opinion, the champion of the English League Cup in the 2014-2015 season is Chelsea.

Tong Yi didn't say anything about this, because his focus was entirely on the game against Sheffield United.

Although his opponents are not very strong, he still respects their opponents very much.
