Before the game, "The Sun" reporter Webster interviewed Tong Yi.
Faced with the interview, Tong Yi said: "Of course, Chelsea is very strong, and Coach Mourinho is also a very capable head coach. This game is difficult to play. And this game is an away game... We are sure
I will do my best, and as for the result, I naturally hope that our Crystal Palace can win!"
Webster frowned slightly.
Tong Yi seems to be a little unsure.
How is this going?
This is not the Tong Yi he is familiar with!
Webster also asked, but Tong Yi left without giving him a chance.
At the moment, Tong Yi was indeed a little unsure.
Because the current state of the Crystal Palace players is indeed not very good, and the two consecutive losses have already illustrated the problem.
Tong Yi was rotated, but the adjustment effect was not very obvious.
Therefore, in this game against Chelsea, Tong Yi really does not have much confidence.
During training, the condition of the Crystal Palace players did not improve much. Therefore, this game against Chelsea was very difficult.
However, Tong Yi is now ready to face difficulties.
Of course, Tong Yi also kept motivating the Crystal Palace players, making them excited, stimulating their own state, and getting them into a better state.
So far, it still has some effects.
But it is obvious that Tong Yi's requirements were not met, so in this game, Crystal Palace is still a bit uncertain.
However, the Crystal Palace people's goal of winning will not change.
In this away game against Chelsea, the Crystal Palace people still have only one goal, and that is victory.
December 14, 2013, Stamford Bridge Stadium, London, England.
What is being held here today is the 16th round of the 2013-2014 Premier League season between Chelsea and Crystal Palace at home. The starting lineups of both sides today are as follows
Home team Chelsea, head coach Mourinho, formation 433
Cech
Back four from left to right Azpilicueta, Luiz, Terry and Ivanovic
Midfield three from left to right Mata, Essien and Ramires
Three forwards from left to right: Hazard, Torres and Willian
Visiting team Crystal Palace, head coach Tong Yi, formation 4213
edouard
The back four from left to right Robertson, Carvalho, Van Dijk and Zhang Linpeng
Double defensive midfielder Paulinho and Kante
Single attacking midfielder Pogba
The front three from left to right Salah, Lukaku and Mane
In fact, both teams have a 4-3-3 formation, but Chelsea's 4-3-3 formation is more changeable, and most of the time it is a bus.
Yes, Mourinho still chose to show off when facing Crystal Palace.
Obviously, Mourinho wants to attract the people from Crystal Palace.
r> Moreover, the Crystal Palace's tactics are also high-position pressing, which is easy to attract. But it is still difficult for Chelsea to break up the Crystal Palace's high-position pressing.
Although their players have good ball control skills, they will still have some problems when facing the Crystal Palace's overall high-position press. However, Chelsea's Tietong defense is indeed very good, even though the ball was intercepted.
, but their goal was not greatly threatened.
The only threat was when Zhang Linpeng came up and passed the ball from the wing. The football accurately landed on the head of Lukaku in the penalty area. What is surprising is that Lukaku, this little beast, actually overwhelmed Chelsea's old man.
Captain Terry headed the ball towards the goal.
The football roared out, almost giving the Chelsea man a heart attack.
Fortunately, Cech reacted quickly and made a great save to save the football from the bottom line.
Otherwise, the Crystal Palace people would have turned against the visitors and taken the lead.
Mourinho on the sidelines was very dissatisfied and immediately roared crazily at Azpilicueta on the court, "How did you defend? How did you let the Chinese pass the ball easily? You can't intercept or intercept."
?"
Mourinho is really angry.
It was really too dangerous just now.
And before the game, he reminded his defensive players many times not to give the Crystal Palace people the opportunity to easily cross from the two wings. The two Crystal Palace full-backs' crosses are very accurate.
It's high, and they also have a monster Lukaku in their formation. This set is very threatening.
This has almost become an inherent offensive routine of the Crystal Palace people.
Of course, Crystal Palace doesn’t just have two crosses from the wing.
They can penetrate through the middle, and they also have two wingers cutting inside. They have many offensive routines and the offensive system is very three-dimensional. That's why Crystal Palace's offensive strength is so strong.
This is the reason why Mourinho put up the iron barrel formation in this game.
Azpilicueta immediately raised his hand to indicate that he was negligent.
In fact, this is not Azpilicueta's negligence, but the strength of the Crystal Palace people. They fell out of the space with two or three kicks. And he himself was suppressed by Mane to the edge of the penalty area and could not get out.
.
But if he really rushes out desperately, Mane behind him will be empty.
Mane's ability to cut inside is terrifying, and he doesn't dare to let it go easily.
Therefore, this gave Zhang Linpeng an easy chance to cross.
Hazard was supposed to defend Zhang Linpeng, but Hazard was entangled by Kante.
Azpilicueta's eyes tightened. This game was harder than they thought. Moreover, Crystal Palace's strength is indeed quite powerful. No wonder they were able to reach second place in the league.
Not to be underestimated!
Mourinho on the sidelines also knew this. He squatted directly on the sidelines, his eyes
Keep your eyes on the court.
This game is worth worrying about!
At the corner kick, Robertson passed the football into the penalty area with an arc. Pogba, who was inserted in the back row, jumped up high and smashed the football with his head.
clang!
The football hit the crossbar hard and then bounced off the baseline.
hiss!
The Chelsea fans at the scene also screamed, so dangerous!
This is really dangerous!
Cech didn't react at all. If the ball had been within the goal range, the ball would have been missed.
Chelsea fans were frightened.
Not to mention, this Crystal Palace is really quite capable.
The Chelsea fans immediately shouted loudly and cheered crazily for the Chelsea team. Their momentum could not be suppressed by the Crystal Palace people. Come on Chelsea, Chelsea wins!
Mourinho squatted on the sidelines very calmly. I wonder if his legs were numb from squatting?
Tong Yi ignored it. He came to the sidelines to remind the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to defense and focus on the space behind them.
Mourinho frowned slightly when he heard the shouting.
This guy smells danger?
He immediately turned his head to look at Tong Yi, and his heart was filled with fear. This boy is really quite capable.
At this moment, Chelsea's midfielder intercepted the ball. Under the crazy pressing of Ramirez and Essien, Paulinho's ball was a little slow and was intercepted directly.
Ramirez fell to the ground to shovel the ball before Kanter pounced on him, and directly passed the football to Willian on the side.
Willian did not stop the ball because he had already seen Torres advancing forward. He directly met the ball and passed it, creating a wonderful arc. The football went directly over the head of the chasing Van Dijk and fell directly in front of Torres.
.
Torres, who was barely able to catch up with the football, did not make any extra adjustments. He directly swung his leg at the front of the penalty area and hit the rebounding football hard.
Volley!
With a bang, the football quickly flew diagonally into the sky, and then swooped down like a hunting eagle, swooping into the Crystal Palace goal with lightning speed like a jingle bell.
Edward soared into the sky, and even though the roc spread its wings, it didn't intercept the football!
World wave!
Torres scored a world-famous goal!
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium was boiling, and all the Chelsea fans were going crazy, jumping and cheering excitedly. This ball was really exciting. It stimulated so much adrenaline that their whole brains were numb!
sharp!
so amazing!
Torres's bent bow shot the giant eagle, and it shot out the stars!
Chelsea fans are so excited!
See, this is the strength of our Chelsea!
You Crystal Palace bumpkins will never be able to defeat us Chelsea, we Chelsea are the kings!
r> After a moment of friction, Mourinho, who was squatting on the ground, jumped up in an instant, like a scurrying hairy monkey, waving his fists excitedly. If his physical condition did not allow it, he would definitely have to give it a try.
The child's backflip.
Mourinho is really excited!
Tong Yi frowned slightly and shook his head slightly.
He is a bit regretful. He should have reminded his players earlier, and the ball would not have been lost.
pity!
However, Tong Yi did not put price pressure on the players on the court, nor did he bring negative energy to them. Instead, he said on the sidelines, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about it, it's just an accident. Give him Torres ten more times."
Opportunity, he may not be able to shoot such a world-class wave again! You defended very well, don't doubt yourself, keep playing, keep playing like this, we have a chance!"
The Crystal Palace players nodded and said they understood.
When Mourinho heard this, he was shocked and said, "This kid has some skills!"
He knew that this side should be difficult to play.
Sure enough, after the game restarted, the Crystal Palace people's offense instantly suppressed them and surrounded their goal. This was not because he deliberately showed weakness to attract opponents. It was because he was really suppressed, and Mourinho gasped.
Take a breath, this kid is so powerful at such a young age?
If these guys are given a few more years, won't they be able to go to heaven?
Suddenly, the visiting team's fans started to celebrate with excitement.
Mourinho was startled. He thought something bad in his heart, and immediately turned red and looked at his own goal.
Sure enough, the football was already in Chelsea's goal.
Scored!
Did the Crystal Palace man score a goal?
Mourinho couldn't believe it, so fast?
Did the Crystal Palace goal come so quickly?
The Chelsea fans at the scene were also shocked!
Just now, Crystal Palace's high press worked again, directly cutting off the football from Essien's feet. Pogba directly passed the football to Salah who was advancing forward. Salah directly held the ball and cut inside, pressing the defense.
players, then suddenly split sides.
Robertson came up from the side and passed directly, and the football quickly flew to the front point of Chelsea's penalty area.
Lukaku rushed out quickly, flicked his head before Terry, looked back and headed the football towards Chelsea's goal.
Cech jumped up immediately in front of the goal and reached out to intercept it. Unfortunately, he did not touch the football. The football fell over his head and directly into the far end of the goal behind him.
This guy Lukaku made a parabola and went straight past Cech!
Cech has no choice!
One to one!
Crystal Palace equalized the score!
Mourinho stared at the fat black man wearing the yellow No. 9 away jersey of Crystal Palace. He saw the shadow of Drogba.
At this moment, he regretted not keeping this little monster.
