At the end of the 21st round of the 2013-2014 Premier League season, Crystal Palace's results were pretty good.
Currently, Crystal Palace has a record of 14 wins and 7 losses, and their points have reached 42 points.
Crystal Palace fans are still very satisfied.
After all, Crystal Palace is just a newly promoted team, so it is great to be able to achieve such results.
Moreover, Crystal Palace successfully avoided relegation early with this score.
It’s hard to say that Crystal Palace, as Tong Yi said before the game, will qualify for the European competition next season!
At present, it seems that the opportunity is quite good.
Because Arsenal, currently ranked first in the league, has only achieved 15 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, and only has 48 points.
Crystal Palace is still only 6 points behind them, the gap is not big.
Ranked second is Chelsea, with a record of 14 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, with 46 points.
Ranked third is Manchester City, with a record of 14 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, with 44 points.
In fourth place is Crystal Palace, with 42 points.
Ranked fifth is Liverpool, with a record of 13 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, and 42 points.
Ranked sixth is Everton, with 41 points.
Therefore, the current performance of Crystal Palace is really very good.
Now ranked fourth and already in the Champions League, no wonder Crystal Palace fans are so satisfied.
However, the Crystal Palace people should not be complacent, after all, the Merseyside duo behind them are also very tight. The Crystal Palace people really cannot relax at all, otherwise, they will be surpassed.
However, Crystal Palace fans have full confidence in Tong Yi.
They firmly believe that Tong Yi can lead their team to achieve good results.
At present, Tong Yi's status in the hearts of Crystal Palace fans is unprecedented!
To be honest, in the entire Premier League, Tong Yi is the most stable coach at present, no one else!
However, Tong Yi is not easy now!
After all, in this position now, if he wants to achieve better results, he naturally needs to invest more. All his energy is now devoted to the team. Now he is hanging out with Pintus and Wagner. They
They are all trying to find ways to solve the problem of players' fluctuating status.
So far, the results are pretty good.
Tong Yi is really grateful to Pintus and Wagner. These two people are really very powerful and their professional abilities are really strong. Without these two people, Tong Yi would never be able to do it.
There is one today.
In Munich 1860 and Crystal Palace, these two people have a very large contribution.
Of course, the team behind them also contributed a lot.
Tong Yi feels that he is lucky to have the steady support of such an outstanding person!
Of course, he is also grateful to his mentor Frank!
If it weren't for Frank, he wouldn't be able to get on Pintus' line!
besides
Kruger and others around him also came to Tong Yi because of Frank's recommendation. Really, without Frank, Tong Yi's career as a professional coach would never have gone so smoothly.
Thank you, mentor!
It's a pity that his mentor has passed away, which often affects Tong Yi's mood.
However, Tong Yi adjusted quite quickly.
After adjusting his emotions, he continued to deal with the team's affairs.
At this time, he received a call from Manchester United coach Moyes.
Moyes said bluntly, "Tong, have you thought about it? Is your club willing to sell Zaha?"
Tong Yi smiled slightly, and it could be seen that Moyes really valued Zaha very much. He made no secret of his determination to win!
Tong Yi immediately said, "Mr. Moyes, I have made it very clear before. Wilfred can give it to you, but you have to exchange it for Tintin! You don't like Tintin anyway, so instead of keeping him in the reserve team, you can
It’s better to send him away!”
Moyes pondered for a while and then said, "De Bruyne is a world-class midfielder and an indispensable member of our Manchester United team. How can we exchange him? Damn it, I can't exchange him."
!”
Tong Yi frowned slightly and asked, "So, are you unwilling to do this deal?"
Moyes immediately said "No, I mean, more money!"
hiss!
Moyes, do you think you are funny?
Tong Yi took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Zaha added 12 million pounds! We have increased the money!"
Moyes couldn't help rolling his eyes, and he immediately said, "My coach Tong, can you be a little sincere?"
Tong Yi said, "I'm sincere, okay?"
Moyes immediately pouted and said, "I don't feel any sincerity! You have to know that we spent 42 million pounds when we introduced De Bruyne! After coming to Manchester United, he led Manchester United to win the Premier League championship, and
He won the Premier League's Best Newcomer and Best Player, and he can now be said to be the best midfielder in the entire Premier League and even the entire league. Do you think your offer is reasonable? Is this your sincerity?"
Tong Yi could tell that Moyes was really a little angry.
He pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What is the psychological price of your Manchester United team? I hope you can also show your sincerity, otherwise the deal will be void!"
On the phone, Moyes also pondered for a long time.
Then, Moyes said, "65 million pounds! This is our bottom line. Below this price, no one can take De Bruyne away from Old Trafford!"
If you think about it carefully, Moyes' offer is actually quite reasonable.
After all, they spent 42 million pounds to introduce De Bruyne from Munich 1860. De Bruyne came to
He has achieved outstanding results in just one season in the Premier League, helping the team win the league championship and win the title of Best Player in both leagues. This offer of 65 million pounds is very reasonable.
After all, six months ago, Tottenham Hotspur's Bale was worth nearly 100 million euros.
Is De Bruyne worse than Bale?
This 65 million pounds is very reasonable.
It’s even a little on the low side!
Tong Yi began to ponder, and Moyes did not disturb Tong Yi, letting Tong Yi think quietly.
After a while, Tong Yi said, "Well, how about we exchange Zaha plus 20 million pounds for Tintin?"
There was a bang, and then a busy signal came from the phone!
Tong Yi smiled bitterly, he could feel Moyes' anger.
But, does this mean you are so angry?
You put a price tag of 65 million pounds on De Bruyne and I didn’t say anything else? What’s wrong with our price tag of 45 million pounds on Zaha? Isn’t our Zaha worth 45 million pounds?
You have to know that Zaha performed very amazingly in the British Championship last season, and he also performed very well this season. He is now being praised by the media and fans all over England.
, is called the British Emperor Star, why can’t he be worth 45 million pounds?
Zaha Hadid’s household registration is already worth upwards of 30 million pounds!
What's wrong with me asking you for £45 million?
Tong Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that he and Ding Ding were together.
There is really no fate!
What if you can't get Tintin? Pogba is very likely to leave Crystal Palace for Juventus after the end of this season. Who will replace him?
Goretzka is obviously a good choice.
But Goretzka also needs an evenly matched or even stronger rotation. After all, there are so many games in England and the schedule is so intensive.
Ding Ding is not good, it seems he has to look for a good rotation again.
Of course, Tong Yi's attention is not focused on this now, because the 22nd round of the 2013-2014 Premier League season is here. Crystal Palace welcomes Stoke City at its home court.
Stoke City is currently ranked 13th in the Premier League, with only 22 points, and is considered a relegation team.
To be honest, their strength is not very strong, but Tong Yi still does not relax.
In any game, you cannot underestimate your opponent.
Of course, in this round of competition, Tong Yi also made a rotation, and the main players need to cultivate and adjust their status.
For today’s game, Tong Yi’s starting lineup is as follows
Goalkeeper Speroni
The back four from left to right Schultz, Aymeric Laporte, McCarthy and Aurier
Double defensive midfielder Milinkovic and Weigl
Single attacking midfielder Goretzka
The three forwards from left to right Zaha, Ignacio and
Sane
In this game, the rotation players of Crystal Palace performed very well and showed a very good state. This was a blow to the people of Stoke City. They were stunned at the beginning of the game.
Originally, after they saw Crystal Palace's starting lineup, they thought they would have their chance in this game.
Who knew these rotation players were hungrier than the main players?
In the fifth minute of the first half, Crystal Palace scored, and it was Zaha who scored!
Zaha received Ignacio's header and scored with a header.
After scoring the goal, Zaha was so excited that he did a backflip and almost lost his footing. The fans at the scene were also very nervous and worried, fearing that Zaha would be injured while celebrating the goal. This would not be worth the gain.
ah!
In the 17th minute of this match, Crystal Palace scored again. Goretzka at the front of the penalty area received the ball from Zaha and directly blasted the goalkeeper and drove the ball into Stoke City's goal.
To be honest, there is still a big difference in strength between the players on both sides, and the Stoke City people were a little overwhelmed.
However, they also created some opportunities. The double defensive midfielder composed of Milinkovic and Weigel still had some problems, and the opponent seized the opportunity many times. Fortunately, the Crystal Palace defense players performed well, and there were no
Let the Stoke City men score the goal.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, Zaha succeeded in grabbing a point in the penalty area and sent the football into Stoke City's goal.
3-0, Crystal Palace defeated Stoke City and got three points.
Next, Crystal Palace ushered in another intensive period of schedule.
They will face Manchester United in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Wigan Athletic in the fourth round of the FA Cup, and then face Hull City in the league.
There are really a lot of games recently, no wonder Tong Yi chooses to rotate in a large area.
The day after the game against Stoke City, Tong Yi led the Crystal Palace team to Manchester.
He is going to face the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final against Manchester United.
In fact, this game is not very important. After all, Crystal Palace already won 5-0 in the first round, and this second round is basically garbage time. Naturally, Tong Yi came to Manchester early to discuss the exchange of Zaha and De Bruyne with Moyes.
things.
Before the game, the two met privately, but the discussion did not go well and it can be said that they broke up on bad terms.
In this game, Tong Yi almost continued the starting lineup from the previous round against Stoke City. It can be seen that Tong Yi really didn't care too much about this game.
Manchester United still wanted to give it a try and fielded its full lineup.
In this game, Manchester United did win the game by occupying the home court. The final score was 5 to 2. Manchester United did score five goals, but Crystal Palace also relied on Zaha’s brace.
Helped the team maintain the victory and successfully reached the finals of the 2013-2014 EFL Cup.
Crystal Palace defeated Manchester United with a total score of 7-5.
