After this round of games, Crystal Palace currently tops the league table.
Moreover, Crystal Palace's points reached 27 points, 7 points ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, which were second and third. The point difference is gradually widening. Guardiola and Wenger are under increasing pressure. Is this Crystal Palace?
Do you really want a half-time victory?
If Crystal Palace really wins half of the season, they may not have a chance to win the Premier League title this season.
Do Crystal Palace really want to defend the Premier League title?
In this round of games, both Manchester City and Arsenal drew with their opponents, giving Crystal Palace the opportunity to widen the gap.
This also shows that Crystal Palace is in very good shape now, while Manchester City and Arsenal are in very bad shape.
If Crystal Palace continues to be so strong, the suspense of the Premier League championship this season may be announced in advance.
Fans of other Premier League teams are really nervous.
At this time, Raiola asked Mourinho, "Do you regret it now?"
Mourinho knows what Raiola is talking about?
For now, Ibrahimovic's performance is indeed explosive, many times better than Balotelli's. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed a bit regretful.
After all, Ibrahimovic has scored 16 goals and provided 3 assists in all competitions this season, which is simply abnormal. So far, the Premier League has not even reached half of the season. If according to the
With this efficiency, Ibrahimovic is very likely to score around 40 goals in all competitions this season, which is too scary.
If this data were used for Manchester United, Manchester United would definitely rank first in the Premier League like Crystal Palace.
And what about Balotelli?
His current performance is actually not bad, currently he has scored 5 goals and provided 4 assists.
But this is really far different from Ibrahimovic's explosive performance.
It's not even comparable.
Raiola originally recommended Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Manchester United, but Mourinho fell in love with Balotelli, who was also under Raiola.
So, in the end, Mourinho got rid of Balotelli and gave up on Ibrahimovic.
Balotelli's performance last season was indeed quite impressive. It was even said that Real Madrid was attracted by Balotelli and almost brought him in.
Fortunately, their Manchester United team was quick to strike, and Balotelli didn't want to go to Real Madrid and sit on the bench, so he came to Manchester United.
Originally, Mourinho thought that Manchester United would take off after Balotelli arrived.
Who would have known that Manchester United is only ranked 7th in the Premier League, and their results are still not ideal.
Of course, Balotelli is a relatively good player in Manchester United.
But compared to Ibrahimovic, he is just a firefly.
Why!
It would have been better if I had insisted on choosing Ibrahimovic.
r>
When he thought of this, Mourinho couldn't help but sigh, "Who knew that a soft-boiled man could have such vicious eyes? Who knew that the 35-year-old Ibrahimovic could still show such amazing strength?"
You have to know that when he chose Balotelli between Ibrahimovic and Balotelli, he not only valued Balotelli's performance last season, but also valued Balotelli's youth!
Balotelli is only 26 years old now, and his future is bright!
And Ibrahimovic is already the sunset, and he won't be shining for long.
Rising sun or setting sun, who will you choose?
If it were Raiola, he might choose Balotelli.
Why!
Both of them sighed, who told them not to have the vision of this guy Tong Yi?
However, Mourinho also continued, "I may be at a loss just looking at this season, but from a long-term perspective, there is no problem with my choice. Ibrahimovic has indeed performed very well this season.
Okay, but what about next season and next season? Can he still perform like this? He certainly can't, but Balotelli certainly can, and even Balotelli's performance will be better season by season in the future.
, he is still on the rise, he has not reached his peak state yet!"
Raiola nodded slightly, saying this does make sense.
But he said, "But are you sure you can persist in this position until that moment? Your results are not very good now."
Mourinho's eyes tightened and his gaze was sharp.
Indeed, this is a problem.
Even though the top management of Manchester United seem to respect him very much now and give him very great rights. However, the current results of his leadership of the team are not good, and there are already some discordant voices. If the results continue to be so bad, he will
Not sure how long he can stay in the Manchester United coaching job?
After Ferguson left, Manchester United welcomed many famous coaches, but none of them lasted long.
Therefore, Mourinho is still under a lot of pressure now.
Mourinho shook his head slightly and said, "Don't worry about this, I am still very confident in myself."
Raiola nodded slightly, he believed this.
He looked at Mourinho and suddenly asked, "The winter transfer is coming soon. Do you need me to help you 'find' some players?"
The transfer period is a busy time for agents like them. The transfer market has been very prosperous in recent years, and Raiola is not willing to miss such a good opportunity.
Mourinho shook his head slightly and said, "It's too early to say this now."
To be honest, Mourinho is not particularly interested in working with Raiola. This guy’s reputation and style of doing things make him
I don’t like it very much. And he and Mendes are partners. Mendes can help him get the player he wants. Why do he want to get involved with you Raio?
If this guy hadn't been talking about Balotelli this time, he wouldn't have been talking to this guy for so long.
Tong Yi naturally has no idea about the conversation between Raiola and Mourinho.
Of course, Tong Yi doesn't need to know.
He knows that Crystal Palace has now become the target of all Premier League teams, and these teams all want to attack their Crystal Palace. What they can do now is naturally to be themselves and not give other teams a chance.
Of course, at this time, Tong Yi could feel that his players were under great pressure.
This winning streak and record of not conceding a goal put a lot of pressure on them.
In every game, these players seem to be playing with a mountain on their backs, deeply afraid of conceding the ball, afraid of losing, and deeply afraid that their records will be broken.
Therefore, at this time, Tong Yi found these players and told them not to care about these so-called records. These records are not important at all. It does not matter whether they concede goals or not. The main thing is to get more points and continue their great success.
status.
Tong Yi hopes that Crystal Palace players will not be affected by other things.
The Crystal Palace players nodded and expressed their understanding.
In the following week, Crystal Palace will still have a double match every week.
Midweek is the English League Cup match, and their opponent is Sunderland. Yes, the Sunderland team where Campbell plays.
However, Campbell is having a hard time now.
Currently, his coaching position is in jeopardy because their performance is very poor. They are currently ranked at the bottom of the Premier League and are the deputy captain of the league. They have become the biggest favorite for relegation.
It's really hard for them to win at the moment.
Therefore, at this time, Campbell's coaching position is naturally not guaranteed.
According to "The Sun", if Sunderland continues to lose in this EFL Cup match against Crystal Palace, then Campbell will be sacked.
So at this time, many media claimed that under such circumstances, Crystal Palace would be merciful and help Campbell? Many media said that the English League Cup game is not important, and Crystal Palace is
It is very likely that the situation will be released, allowing Campbell to continue to hold the position of Sunderland head coach.
Even Delvestri said that this game was probably a favor game.
Campbell's position should be retained by Tong Yi.
Because he knows very well that Chinese society is a human society, and as a Chinese, Tong Yi will definitely pursue this approach. Therefore, it is reasonable for Tong Yi to give a little respect to Xiri's disciples.
Therefore, he believes that Crystal Palace is likely to lose in this game, and Campbell is very likely to lose.
The manager who can break Crystal Palace's golden statue.
The outside fans actually recognized Delvestri's nonsense, which surprised Tong Yi.
Campbell also said before the game, "I need this victory very much, but I also believe that Crystal Palace also needs this victory very much. I know very well how I am as a person, and he will definitely go all out in this game! Because
This is how I respect Sunderland and the game. My mentor cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes! In this game, we at Sunderland will definitely go all out to win this game!"
Obviously, neither the media reporters nor the fans believed it.
If Crystal Palace doesn't let you, can Campbell lead the team to victory? What a joke!
And Tong Yi also said before the game, "No matter who the opponent is, our Crystal Palace's first goal is to win. So, you can rest assured in this game, we will definitely go all out. As for Sol, if he wants
If he continues to be the manager of Sunderland, then he must show his corresponding skills!"
Tong Yi never had the idea of letting go.
No matter what kind of competition it is, winning is the first priority!
Although many media reporters did not believe what Tong Yi said, they all felt that Tong Yi was fake. But Tong Yi did ask the Crystal Palace players this way.
In this game, Crystal Palace made a rotation, with most of the substitutes playing.
However, even so, Sunderland was still a little unable to resist.
The strength gap between the two teams is still huge.
In the 45th minute of the first half, Carvajal took a corner kick, and Van Dijk in the penalty area succeeded with a header. Crystal Palace took the lead at 1-0.
In the 17th minute of the second half, after Crystal Palace intercepted the ball in the midfield, Sabitzer sent a precise through ball. Asensio, who came from the wing, received the ball and changed direction in one go, and then sent the football in with a low shot.
The opponent's goal.
Two to zero!
Crystal Palace progressed to the next round of the EFL Cup with a comfortable victory over Campbell's Sunderland.
This result really exceeded the expectations of all media reporters.
These media reporters ridiculed Tong Yi for being too cold-blooded and devoid of any humanity. When his disciple was in the most difficult time, he didn’t even reach out to help Campbell, and actually pushed his disciple into the abyss with his own hands. This guy Tong Yi
Really not human.
Delvistri and the others criticized Tong Yi crazily, hoping that everyone would recognize Tong Yi's unsympathetic character and let the Crystal Palace players and coaching staff be careful and stay away from villains like Tong Yi.
This damn guy is really deliberately trying to cause trouble and conflict in Crystal Palace.
It’s strange that this guy didn’t take the money and wasn’t instructed by anyone!
That night, Sunderland announced the dismissal of Campbell and announced Sunderland's new coach candidate - David Moyes!
