On March 15, 2015, Crystal Palace faced the newly promoted Queens Park Rangers at their home stadium, Selhurst Park.
To be honest, this team is not very strong, and it should be easy for Crystal Palace to defeat them.
Before the game, media reporters and fans also believed that there was no problem with Crystal Palace in this game.
After all, Crystal Palace did not expend too much energy and physical strength in the last game. They will naturally be able to go all out and win this game.
Before the game, some media reporters reported on this game.
After all, there is still something to watch in this game. After all, Queens Park Rangers has some former Crystal Palace players in their squad, and this is their match against their old club.
For example, Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Speroni was once Crystal Palace's main goalkeeper, and their center back Delaney was also a Crystal Palace player.
This game is really worth watching for Crystal Palace fans.
Regarding this game, Tong Yi said this: "Obviously, at this time, no matter who our opponent is, we must defeat them. Because, only in this way can we ensure that our Crystal Palace can defend the Premier League title this season.
Champion of the league.”
The media reporters nodded one after another, this is indeed the case.
At present, Crystal Palace is indeed still one point ahead of Chelsea, but this point difference is very small. If you don't pay attention, they will be overtaken by Chelsea behind them. Therefore, no game can be taken lightly.
Even though they faced the newly promoted Queens Park Rangers.
Crystal Palace will definitely give you your best.
Tong Yi also said, "Of course, Queens Park Rangers is also a very strong team. We will definitely go all out and play with all our main players. We have only one goal, which is to win this game and get the
Three points.”
But what no one expected was that Tong Yi released a smoke bomb before the game, because in this game, Tong Yi was rotated, and most of the main players went to rest.
This was beyond the expectations of many media reporters.
After all, in the last game, the main players of Crystal Palace hardly consumed much. In order to ensure that the league can defend the title, shouldn't Tong Yi be more cautious in the league at this time? Shouldn't Tong Yi be more cautious at this time?
Will the main force be put into the league?
Is Tong Yi planning to let the main players of Crystal Palace compete in the next Europa League garbage time game?
I can’t figure it out!
However, Crystal Palace did rotate in this game.
Today, the starting lineups of both sides are as follows
Home team Crystal Palace, head coach Tong Yi, formation 4213
Alisson
The back four from left to right is Alonso, Rudiger, Ferdinand and Aurier.

Back four from left to right: Ferland Mendy, Onuoha, Delaney and Yoon Sik-young
Midfield four from left to right Matthew Phillips, Sandro, Carl Henry and Wright Phillips

In fact, the strength of Queens Park Rangers is not weak based on the lineup alone, but to be honest, their results this season are not very good. The reason is that their former head coach Harry Redknapp has been injured.
During this time, he was also intermittently leading the team. In mid-February, Redknapp could no longer persist and resigned from the club.
Queens Park Rangers respected Redknapp's wishes and agreed. Then they found the current black head coach Ramsey.
To be honest, there are still very few black head coaches in the Premier League.
Therefore, Ramsey really attracts much attention, but his coaching results are not very good.
After all, he has just taken over and has not yet reformed the team. At present, he is still continuing Redknapp's approach, because it is simply unrealistic to start from scratch by changing tactics at this time. In that case, the results will be reduced.
It's even worse. If Ramsey wants to make drastic reforms to the team, he still has to wait until the end of the season and the preparation period for the new season.
Now he can only make small improvements to the team and slowly put his own stamp on the team.
To be honest, he actually admires his predecessor. This Queens Park Rangers' lineup is still very good. If they are trained well, it is still very possible to avoid relegation in the Premier League.
Therefore, his goal this season is to avoid relegation in the Premier League.
Today's opponent, to be honest, Ramsey really doesn't have much confidence.
Because the opponent's strength is indeed very strong, and some of their good players are from this team, so Ramsey still focuses on defense in this game.
It just so happens that Fran Mendy, Delaney and Speroni in their team are all from Crystal Palace. He should still know the opponent very well. Therefore, according to their intelligence and careful defense, they Queen's Palace Rangers
There is still a chance to take away a point from the away game.
Therefore, they focused on defense in this game.
But what he didn't expect was that Crystal Palace broke through in just 3 minutes of the game.
Their QPR goal.
The reason was that Queens Park Rangers center back Onuoha made a low-level mistake while defending.
Goretzka's seemingly harmless pass penetrated Onuoha's legs and rolled into the penalty area.
Sane was a little surprised when he came up diagonally, but his reaction was quite quick. He shot directly from a small angle and broke through the defense of his former teammate Speroni, sending the football into the Queen's Park Rangers goal.
goal.
One to zero, Crystal Palace took the lead very easily. .??.
It seems that it should be very easy for Crystal Palace to win the second half of the game.
Sure enough, in the 17th minute of the game, Crystal Palace once again broke through Speroni's goal.
Goretzka gave the ball to Casemiro who rushed up from the front of the penalty area. Casemiro rushed up and fired a violent long shot. The football whizzed past and flew straight into the upper right corner of the goal.
The ball is very fast and powerful.
Casemiro also scored his first goal after joining Crystal Palace.
Two to zero, Crystal Palace easily led by two goals.
Seeing this, Ramsay shook his head slightly. It seems that he was really too optimistic before the start of this game. With the strength of Crystal Palace, what can Queen's Park Rangers do to compete with others?
At this time, Ramsey emphasized defense, asking the Queens Park Rangers players to defend seriously, deal with it carefully, and try not to concede any more goals. After all, in the relegation battle, the goal difference is also very critical.
If they lose two balls, they have a greater chance of a critical hit.
Therefore, at this time, Ramsey's request is not to let Crystal Palace score any more goals, and not to be defeated by Crystal Palace.
The players of Queens Park Rangers are also very active and dedicated. They defend seriously and do not want to give the Crystal Palace people a chance to score. However, the strength gap between the two teams is really too big. So far, they have defended
It was very difficult, and I was about to lose the ball again before my eyes!
In the 24th minute of the second half, Alonso came up from the wing and received a second pass from Goretzka. He pretended to cut in and broke through, but in fact he made a pass and passed the football to the back of the penalty area.
Jimenez, who was in the back position, beat Onuoha's header and smashed the football into the Queen's Park Rangers goal.
Three to zero.
Seeing this, Ramsey could only shake his head. Sure enough, the strength of the Crystal Palace was really too strong, and Queen's Park Rangers simply couldn't stop it.
It looks like they are going to be defeated in this game!
In the 77th minute of the game, Crystal Palace's substitute Torres dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Delaney in the penalty area reached for a foul and the referee awarded a penalty kick.
Torres leaves in person
He got on the penalty spot and then blasted the football into the center of the goal with a heavy shot.
Four to zero.
Crystal Palace easily defeated Queens Park Rangers after a coaching change at their home court and took three points.
To be honest, the strength gap between Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace is still very big. Moreover, the current state of the two teams is also different. Queens Park Rangers, who have just changed coaches, are in relatively poor condition. How can they possibly be able to
Can you withstand Crystal Palace?
After winning this game, Crystal Palace is still leading Chelsea in the league.
So so far, Crystal Palace is still firmly sitting at the top of the Premier League.
What Tong Yi didn't expect was that in this round of games, Chelsea unexpectedly lost to Jingzhou at home. They were actually tied 1-1 by Southampton at home.
In this case, Crystal Palace will be three points ahead of Chelsea!
This is good news for Crystal Palace. They are gradually widening the gap between them and Chelsea. Although the point difference is still not big, it is still a gap of one goal. However, the confidence of the Crystal Palace people has been gained.
It has been a huge improvement. And Tong Yi believes that Chelsea will also be greatly affected.
Perhaps if this continues, Crystal Palace will lead more and more, and even be able to defend the Premier League title several rounds in advance.
Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace players are full of more confidence in the next game.
They firmly believe that they can win the league championship this season!
In this way, the high-spirited Crystal Palace ushered in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 knockout match against Everton.
Because of the huge score between the two sides in the first round, this game almost turned into garbage time.
Moreover, Everton's two main players, Lukaku and Barkley, are suspended, which has a greater impact on their strength. There is no suspense in this game, Crystal Palace must win!
Therefore, in this round of games, Tong Yi performed rotations to allow the main players and main rotation players to rest.
Crystal Palace’s starting lineup for this game is as follows:
Alisson
The back four from left to right Robertson, Carvalho, Ferdinand and Aurier
Double defensive midfielder Casemiro and Kimmich
Single attacking midfielder Milinkovic-Savic
The front three from left to right Asensio, Mbappe and Sane
In the final game, Crystal Palace defeated Everton 1-0 at their home court and successfully reached the top 8 of the 2014-2015 Europa League.
Crystal Palace was able to win this game mainly because of Everton's poor performance. The opponent also played a lot of young people, and even had many players promoted from the youth team, so they lost to Crystal Palace.
