The draw results for the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds have come out, and the media in England are generally very satisfied.
After all, there were three teams that advanced, and two of them got the lottery.
Media reporters all feel that this time, at least two of their Premier League teams will reach the quarterfinals, or even go further.
This is a good thing for the Premier League.
Moreover, they definitely don't mean that Arsenal has no chance even if they face Bayern Munich.
Based on Arsenal's performance in the group stage, they are not afraid of any opponent.
Arsenal's results in this season's Champions League group stage are 4 wins, 2 draws, unbeaten, and 14 points. Their performance is very strong. Moreover, they also have Paris Saint-Germain in this group. They still dominate their opponents and rank first.
Being first in the group already shows that Arsenal is very strong.
Facing Bayern Munich, Arsenal also have a great chance.
Bayern Munich's performance in the group stage was not particularly good. Their record was 4 wins and 2 losses, with 12 points. They not only lost to Atletico Madrid, but also lost to Rostov.
This shows the instability of Bayern Munich.
After Guardiola left, Bayern Munich was really not doing well.
Therefore, in the eyes of English media reporters, Arsenal still has a high chance of eliminating Bayern Munich.
It is very likely that all three Crystal Palace teams will reach the quarterfinals this season.
Even in the end, three teams from the Premier League were able to reach the semi-finals, and even the final was a civil war in the Premier League. The glory of the Premier League is coming back.
Arsenal fans are not as confident as these media reporters.
They feel that Bayern Munich is still very strong, and Arsenal may not be able to defeat Bayern Munich. This season's UEFA Champions League is really hanging in the balance.
However, Manchester City and Crystal Palace are really lucky.
Both of these are signed!
Manchester City was the first to be drawn out. This is simply UEFA reporting to Manchester City.
Let Manchester City draw Monaco, who is first in the group, and Manchester City can defeat them easily. Especially since Monaco in this world does not have Kylian Mbappe, it should not be difficult for Manchester City to defeat them.
When Guardiola faced the media reporters, he said, "This draw result is indeed very beneficial to us. In this game, our Manchester City team will definitely be able to win the final victory. You are worried, our Manchester City team will definitely win."
Advance to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League!”
See, this is Guardiola's confidence.
The English media reporters and Manchester City fans did not think that Guardiola was bragging. They felt that Manchester City's victory over Monaco and advancement to the quarterfinals was certain.
There is no need to say more about the Crystal Palace.
in the European Super Cup
, Crystal Palace has clearly demonstrated the gap between the two teams.
Sevilla can only hope for a miracle if they want to defeat Crystal Palace.
Obviously, it is difficult for this world miracle to appear.
Therefore, Sevilla has no chance.
The one who will advance will definitely be Crystal Palace.
The Premier League media reporters all felt that the draw result was very good and very satisfactory.
However, they also reminded Crystal Palace and other three teams that they hope these teams will not be arrogant and still take their opponents seriously, hoping that no accidents will happen or any big upsets will happen.
At this time, Guardiola said, "Don't worry, it will be our Manchester City team that advances to the quarterfinals."
It can be seen that Guardiola and the Manchester City players are full of confidence.
Wenger said this: "We will try our best, but don't worry, we at Arsenal will definitely go all out. As for the result, it depends on God's will."
To be honest, Wenger is still a little confident, but more rational.
He knows very well that Bayern Munich is very strong, and even if they try their best, they may not be able to defeat their opponents. Therefore, Wenger must attach great importance to this game, and they will go all out in these two knockout games.
I don't think they still have a chance to advance.
Tong Yi Zeyang said, "It's still a little early to consider these things. After all, this game won't start until around February next year. It's too far away to think about it now. I think we should consider the game against Hull City at the weekend."
And the upcoming Club World Cup match!"
Yes, Tong Yi's attention has been put on the Club World Cup.
Because at this time, the Club World Cup has already started!
The 2016 World Club Cup was held in Japan. The ones who qualified for this year's Club World Cup were the host Kashima Antlers [Japan], the Oceania champion Auckland City [New Zealand], and the Asian champion Jeonbuk Hyundai [South Korea].
[Country], African champions Sandals [South Africa], CONCACAF champions América [Mexico], South American champions Atlético Nacional [Colombia] and European champions Crystal Palace [England].
The first stage of this year's Club World Cup is a qualifying match. First, the host Kashima Antlers will face the Oceania champion Auckland City. The winners of these two teams will play against the Asian champions, African champions and CONCACAF champions.
After a fight, the winner advances to the semi-finals.
The European champions and South American champions advance directly to the semi-finals.
Therefore, Crystal Palace can just go directly to the semi-finals.
As for the current position, the first round of the 2016 Club World Cup has ended. The host Kashima
Antlers defeated Oceania champion Auckland City 2-1 and successfully advanced to the next round.
The next round of competition will be held the day after tomorrow.
The second round matches of the 2016 Club World Cup were Jeonbuk Hyundai vs Mexico America; Kashima Antlers vs Sandance.
Crystal Palace has not yet gone to Japan at this time, they are still in England.
Because Crystal Palace has to finish participating in the Premier League this weekend before leaving for Japan.
Crystal Palace's first Club World Cup match is on December 14, and there are still a few days left. Although the time is tight, there will be no problem for Crystal Palace to catch up.
Tomorrow, Crystal Palace will usher in the 15th round of the Premier League this season. Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Hull City. After the game against Hull City, they will immediately return to South London for a short period of time.
After resting, it’s time to board the plane to Japan.
This time is really too tight.
And after going to Japan, Crystal Palace is not just going to play one or two games.
After arriving in Japan, they also carried out a series of business activities.
This is arranged by the club, and there are also activities officially arranged by FIFA and the Club World Cup, so it is very busy. To be honest, these activities are more tiring than playing a few games.
If Tong Yi had a choice, he really didn't want his players to participate in these activities.
It made his players so tired.
If this is injured, that would be terrible. What about Crystal Palace's subsequent Premier League and UEFA Champions League games?
Therefore, at this time, Tong Yi reminded the Crystal Palace players to protect themselves and avoid getting injured.
Of course, in this weekend's Premier League, Crystal Palace will definitely have to rotate.
In this game, Tong Yi will definitely let most of the main rotation players play in the league, and rest the main players to prepare for the following Club World Cup games. Because after going to Japan, these main players of their team
Players and fans must participate in a lot of activities. If they are still playing in the league at this time, there will be almost no time to rest.
Therefore, this weekend's game against Hull City will naturally involve rotating the main players.
Fortunately, Hull City is not very strong.
Although they have reached the semi-finals of the English League Cup this season, they are currently ranked second to last in the Premier League and are the favorites for relegation. Sure enough, these newly promoted teams from the English Championship will still play very well in the Premier League.
It's a struggle. In this game, Crystal Palace has a very good chance of winning if they send in their main rotation players.
Before the game, Webster said, "Even if Crystal Palace makes a large-scale rotation in this game, Hull City wants to beat the Crystal Palace team."
Crystal Palace is still impossible! Hey, it is really a pity. Wenger and Arsenal missed an excellent opportunity! If they had fought with Crystal Palace at that time and severely stepped Crystal Palace into the abyss,
Now Crystal Palace has collapsed! It is impossible to have such a good opportunity now. It’s all Wenger and Arsenal’s fault!”
But there are also many people who are full of expectations and confidence for this game. They think that Crystal Palace is very likely to overturn.
Hull City head coach Mike Phelan said this in an interview before the game, "I know Crystal Palace is very strong. But recently, their results have indeed been very ups and downs, and everyone can see that.
The recent intensive schedule has had a huge impact on them. I think our Hull City have a chance. In this game, Crystal Palace has to rotate a large area like this. This is simply a perfect opportunity for our Hull City.
."
It can be seen that Fei Lan is really very confident!
Phelan is really not afraid of Tong Yi, and he is really confident. After all, he was also the coach of Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant. No matter how bad he is, he always has two skills.
Felan is still somewhat confident about the Crystal Palace, which is now in such a state of decline.
Phelan continued: "These rotating main players and substitute players in Crystal Palace are allowed to have some strength, but do you all think that the strength of our Hull City team is very poor? No, no, no, you really underestimate our Hull City team.
As a team, we can reach the semi-finals of the EFL Cup, which shows our ability. If anyone underestimates us, they will pay a heavy price. I am full of confidence in this game!"
To be honest, the media reporters were all shocked. They did not expect Felan to be so confident!
Has Felan forgotten?
The team you are playing is not Manchester United, but Hull City. It is almost impossible for Hull City to defeat Crystal Palace, so stop dreaming.
However, when Tong Yi was interviewed by media reporters, he said: "The strength of Hull City is actually beyond your imagination. At this time, we have rotated so many main players to face them. They are indeed
If there is a chance to win, Phelan has such confidence, I can understand it. This game is also a bit difficult for our Crystal Palace, but we will definitely go all out, and our Crystal Palace is still very confident about the victory.
Desirable. But the outcome of the competition is still unknown!”
hiss!
The media reporters were all confused. Is this guy Tong Yi so cautious?
I'm afraid this game against Hull City will be difficult. It's almost impossible for you to beat Crystal Palace.
Under such circumstances, in the 15th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season, Crystal Palace's away game against Hull City officially began. Crystal Palace did carry out a large-scale rotation, and almost all of them were substitutes.
The opportunity for the Ercheng team has come!
