At the end of the game, Crystal Palace defeated Sevilla 5-2 with a total score of 6-4 and advanced to the top 8 of the UEFA Champions League in the 2016-2017 season.
After the game, the Sevillans looked dull.
To be honest, they really felt very sorry.
If the Sevillaans show their second-half performance from the beginning, they may not lose this game.
Maybe they didn't expect Crystal Palace to attack fiercely from the start before the game.
Sevilla's pre-match preparations were not very complete.
In the eyes of media reporters and fans, this should be the responsibility of Sampaoli and the coaching staff.
If they had expected this before the game, this game would never have been so bad.
Or maybe the Sevilla people were a little too high-profile before the game and underestimated the coming of Crystal Palace, otherwise the game would never have turned out like this.
To be honest, Sevilla fans really feel very sorry.
In fact, this is really not Sampaoli's responsibility.
He emphasized it many times before the game, but it was a pity that the Sevilla people were slow to enter the game. Moreover, Crystal Palace scored a goal as soon as they attacked and brought the ball into the field, which completely messed up the mood of the Sevilla players.
They were completely panicked, so they never adjusted in the first half of the game.
After the halftime break and Sampaoli's coaching and adjustment, Sevilla's players returned to normal in the second half of the game. Otherwise, Sevilla would have lost many goals in this game.
Therefore, Sampaoli's responsibility is really not big.
Media reporters and fans didn't know this, they all thought it was Sampaoli's responsibility.
At the press conference after the game, reporters from the media asked this question.
Hearing the questions from the media reporters, Sampaoli was speechless. Unexpectedly, the game ended like this and it was all his own responsibility. It was because he did not do his job well before the game.
Sampaoli really wanted to defend himself and speak for himself. But after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.
After all, the season is not over yet, and there is still league play to be played. We cannot mess with the players' mentality at this time.
Therefore, Sampaoli said after the game, "This game is indeed my responsibility. It was me who failed to lead this team well, and it was me who caused the loss of this game. To be honest, our
The team is still very capable, and I also believe that we are capable of defeating Crystal Palace. Unfortunately, this game ended like this. We are sorry for the fans who came from afar. We should have advanced."
In the end, Sampaoli himself couldn't speak anymore. He felt it was really a pity.
They really have a chance to win this game.
Pity!
Nasri and Yedder, who were also sitting on the stage, were stunned on the spot. They did not expect that Sampaoli would say this and put all the responsibilities on him, which made them feel a little embarrassed.
.
Both of them lowered their heads.
Sampaoli did not look at these two guys and finally said, "Of course, our opponent Crystal Palace is very strong in this game. They played very well in this game and fully demonstrated their strength. It's great. They today
Their victory is worthy of promotion. They have the strength to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and they even have the strength to win the championship. I hope they can win the final championship. In this case, we will only lose to the final champion.
Sound better!"
This is not because Sampaoli is complimenting Crystal Palace or trying to beat Crystal Palace. They really think that Crystal Palace is very strong and has a good chance of defending the title.
Crystal Palace fans were very happy to hear these words, Sampaoli really knows how to speak.
Then the media reporters all interviewed Tong Yi and asked him what he thought of this game.
Tong Yi said this: "This game was actually very thrilling. Although our team played well. But the Sevilla people really played well. They once really threatened us, almost.
They changed their destiny and created a miracle. They played very well in the second half of the game. I believe that Mr. Sampaoli made great adjustments and encouragement during the halftime break. Otherwise, Sevilla would not have
will show such strength.”
The media reporters also nodded one after another, feeling that what Tong Yi said made sense.
When faced with questions from media reporters, Tong Yi answered this way, "I think the loss in this game should not be a big problem with Mr. Sampaoli. I think he is a very good and very capable head coach.
They put a lot of pressure on us in this game, and they even defeated us in the first round. Do you think Mr. Sampaoli is not good? He once stood on top of the world, so you are all too underestimated.
Mr. Sampaoli!"
This is also Tong Yi's sincere words, not a compliment.
Tong Yi also said, "Of course, my players performed very well. I am quite satisfied with their performance. It would be great to be promoted. In fact, you have also seen that there was a period in this game where we did not play well.
, but I can accept it. After all, the Sevilla people played very well during that period."
Media reporters also think so. Crystal Palace played really well in this game.
However, it also gave the opponent a chance.
As they said before the game, the Sevilla people have a chance to advance to the next round. If they play like the second half in the first half, the result of this game is really unknown.
Tong Yi finally said, "Of course, I am very satisfied with the team's current results. But, this is not the end now. We still have a long way to go, so in the next games, I
I still hope that my players can go all out and continue to win."
Indeed, now
Whether it is the league, the UEFA Champions League, or even the FA Cup, it has entered a white-hot stage. It has entered the final sprint stage. If the chain drops at this time, then Crystal Palace is very likely to lose this season.
What a waste of effort.
Therefore, perseverance is what Crystal Palace people should do.
You must hold on!
The teams behind were chasing after each other fiercely, but they were not given a chance to breathe.
After this game, the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League are completely over, and all the teams that have advanced to the quarter-finals have been born.
Benfica lost to Dortmund 1-4 and Dortmund advanced; Paris Saint-Germain lost to Barcelona 5-6 and Barcelona advanced; Bayern Munich won both home and away games 5-1 and defeated Arsenal with a total score of 10-2 and Bayern Munich advanced
; Real Madrid defeated Naples with a total score of 6-2, Real Madrid advanced; Manchester City drew with Monaco with a total score of 6-6, Monaco advanced on away goals; Leverkusen lost to Atletico Madrid with a total score of 2-4, Atletico Madrid
Advance; Sevilla lost to Crystal Palace with a total score of 4-6, Crystal Palace advanced; Porto lost to Juventus with a total score of 0-3, and Juventus advanced.
Therefore, the top eight teams in the UEFA Champions League this season are Dortmund, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Monaco, Atletico Madrid, Crystal Palace and Juventus.
Among them, La Liga occupies three seats, the Bundesliga occupies two seats, and the remaining three seats are the Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 each occupy one seat.
To be honest, this result was beyond the expectations of many media reporters.
Especially the local media in England, they really didn't expect it.
This season, there is only a pitiful number of places for the Premier League to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals. This should be regarded as the least in recent decades. Is the Premier League really in decline?
Yes, at this time, many media from other countries are claiming that the Premier League has completely declined and is no longer viable.
This UEFA Champions League is the best proof.
To be honest, the English media and fans are very unhappy and angry.
To be honest, Arsenal and Manchester City really disgraced themselves in the Premier League. Manchester City was okay, at least they ended in a draw with the opponent. It was just a little bit of bad luck and refereeing issues that led to their failure to advance.
.But what about Arsenal?
This is something no one in England has ever thought of.
Arsenal actually scored double-digit goals in two games against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, while they only scored two goals themselves. This should be Arsenal's most painful defeat in the Champions League in recent years.
Well, no wonder Arsenal fans can't tolerate Wenger anymore. They shouted slogans "Wenger, out" one after another.
This knockout series really put Wenger in Arsenal
All the good impressions in the fans' hearts were wiped out.
This is completely unacceptable.
Of course, the famous football players in England did not expect that Arsenal would suffer such a tragic defeat. In interviews, they also criticized Arsenal and Wenger as being useless.
Arsenal are really in disgrace this time.
At least that's what Arsenal fans think, and so does England's fans.
To be honest, Tong Yi was very sad when he saw this score. Arsenal has really fallen to this point. Of course, Bayern Munich's performance exceeded his expectations. It seems that Bayern Munich is really good this season.
Very powerful, this should be their competitor, right?
I hope Crystal Palace won’t meet Bayern Munich so soon!
Now that Crystal Palace has become the only fig leaf for the Premier League, the English media are naturally reporting the news about Crystal Palace crazily. They claim that even though they have only one team in England to advance to the quarter-finals, the UEFA Champions League winner this season is huge.
The probability will still fall to England. Because the Crystal Palace team has this strength, Crystal Palace is the defending champion of the UEFA Champions League this season.
And they have also shown such super strength this season. Look how good they performed when they defeated Sevilla? Judging from the current state and strength of Crystal Palace, they have a good chance to win.
If they want to win the UEFA Champions League, they will defend it successfully.
However, foreign media do not think so.
Spain, Italy and France all believe that the Premier League has come to an end and is no longer viable. This season has already made the problem clear. Look at how Manchester City and Arsenal have performed. If Crystal Palace hadn't been there to hide their shame, the Premier League would have
This season will be completely wiped out.
The media in these countries are not optimistic about the Premier League, nor are they optimistic about Crystal Palace.
They also admit that Crystal Palace is somewhat strong, but Crystal Palace also has many problems this season. It is so difficult to play against Sevilla. How can Crystal Palace compete with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid?
It's simply impossible!
Crystal Palace is really not good this season, and it is impossible for the Champions League champion to win in England.
Now these voices are very loud in the outside world.
Tong Yi now also feels the malice from these media. This is a wake-up call for him. The next Champions League game must not be taken lightly, otherwise they will suffer a lot of criticism and beating if they lose.
Tong Yi will not give these guys these opportunities.
What Tong Yi is paying attention to right now is the draw for the quarter-finals of the upcoming 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League. He wants to see who Crystal Palace will draw? To be honest, the teams that advance to the quarter-finals are not weak.
, it’s actually difficult to deal with whoever you draw.
