Crystal Palace defeated West Ham United, Liverpool also reversed Norwich City 3-2 in an away game without any danger, Arsenal and Manchester City both defeated their opponents, only Chelsea overturned at home.
Chelsea lost 1-2 at home to Sunderland, and they seemed to be falling behind.
Now that the league has reached a critical moment, what matters is who can persevere and who can bear it.
After the 35 rounds of the 2013-2014 Premier League season, the standings are as follows
At the top of the list is Liverpool, with a record of 25 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, and 80 points.
Ranked second is Crystal Palace, with a record of 26 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses, and 79 points.
Ranked third is Chelsea, with a record of 23 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, and 75 points.
Ranked fourth is Manchester City, with a record of 23 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, with 74 points.
Ranked fifth is Arsenal, with a record of 21 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, and 70 points.
Ranked sixth is Everton, with a record of 20 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses, with 69 points.
Ranked seventh is Tottenham, with a record of 19 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses, with 63 points.
Ranked eighth is Manchester City, with a record of 18 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses, with 60 points.
Now, the competition for the top spot in the Premier League is very fierce. Crystal Palace is still only 1 point behind the top spot, Liverpool. This gap is very small, and they can overtake in one game.
Of course, it is very difficult for a team as stable as Liverpool to lose.
However, there will be a direct dialogue between Crystal Palace and Liverpool in the next game.
If Crystal Palace can win this game, then Crystal Palace can reverse Liverpool, reach the top of the Premier League, and even win the 2013-2014 Premier League championship.
Of course, at this time, Chelsea and Manchester City failed to hold on!
In these three rounds, they all lost one game, thus opening up some points between the two teams in front.
Currently, Chelsea is 5 points behind Liverpool.
With the last three rounds of the league remaining, it is almost difficult for Chelsea to catch up with Liverpool.
Chelsea have almost lost their chance to compete for the Premier League title.
Unless Liverpool loses at least two games in the following games, and Crystal Palace also loses two games, Chelsea will have a chance to win the Premier League championship this season.
This is almost impossible!
However, don’t they still have theoretical hope?
Manchester City's situation is even worse than Chelsea's.
Therefore, the Premier League champion this season should be born between Liverpool and Crystal Palace.
Now what we have to see is who can communicate directly with them.
Victory in a game?
However, Manchester City and Chelsea actually still have hope.
Because in the next 36th round of the Premier League, that is, in the next round, Manchester City will play away against Crystal Palace, and Chelsea will play away against Liverpool. If both teams defeat their opponents in this game
If so, then they still have a great chance.
Coupled with the direct dialogue between Liverpool and Crystal Palace later, the chances of these two teams still look great.
However, it is obvious that if these two teams want to win the championship, they will have to look at the faces of Liverpool and Crystal Palace.
They will only have a chance if Crystal Palace and Liverpool give them a chance.
Therefore, it is still relatively difficult for these two teams at the moment.
The competition for the Premier League title this season has also entered a fierce stage.
However, Tong Yi is not thinking about the weekend match against Manchester City.
What Tong Yi is thinking about now is the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals against La Liga team Sevilla in midweek. This game is equally important to Crystal Palace and cannot be careless.
In this game, Crystal Palace is playing away from home, so now they have gone to Spain.
Already arrived in Seville!
When Tong Yi and the others checked into the hotel where they were staying, Tong Yi was blocked by media reporters.
Facing media reporters, Tong Yi said: "Sevilla is a very strong team, and now they have put all their attention on the Europa League. For us, Crystal Palace,
It’s a lot of pressure!”
Yes, Sevilla is basically flat in the league now.
For them, the league is no longer important. After all, they are too far away from the top of the league, falling behind by 26 points. Although they are not very far from fourth in the league, Athletic Bilbao in front has no chance at all.
Without it, they would hardly be able to finish fourth in the league.
Therefore, instead of consuming energy in the league, it is better to complete the victory in one game and win the Europa League championship.
Now, this is what Emery planned and did.
In the league, Sevilla almost always rotates, and the main players get more time to rest and recuperate.
However, the strength of other teams in La Liga is indeed relatively poor. Even so, Sevilla has won three consecutive victories in the league.
Therefore, Sevilla is in very good shape recently and should not be underestimated.
Tong Yi continued, "Sevilla is in very good shape now, and this game is Sevilla's home court, which is very difficult for us at Crystal Palace. This is a difficult game.
Seville
Asia’s chances of winning are very high.”
The media reporters at the scene nodded one after another, feeling that Tong Yi was right.
In this game, Sevilla has a very good chance of winning, and your Crystal Palace has no chance. It can be seen that you, a Chinese soft rice man, still have some self-awareness!
Sevilla must win this game!
To be honest, Tong Yi takes this game very seriously.
This Sevilla team is indeed very capable.
What's more important is that Sevilla's head coach Emery is very good, and he has built this Sevilla team very well. More importantly, in Tong Yi's memory, this season's
Sevilla did win the final Europa League title.
Even in the next two seasons, Sevilla will win the Europa League championship and directly complete the great feat of three consecutive Europa League championships. It will single-handedly turn the Europa League into the Sevilla Cup and the Emery Cup.
Moreover, after this guy Emery later went to Villarreal, he also led the team to win the final Europa League championship with an undefeated record.
Emery has also won the Europa League four times.
No wonder some people call the Europa League the Emery Cup.
At this time, Tong Yi naturally did not dare to underestimate Emery and his Sevilla.
Tong Yi is naturally very cautious and careful now, and even looks up to the Sevilla people a little bit.
Tong Yi also said, "Of course, we will not admit defeat in this game. Although I know that this game will be very difficult and it will be very difficult to win Sevilla away from home. But we will not give up.
Yes, we will try our best to keep the suspense in the second round, so that Crystal Palace has a chance to advance to the Europa League final!"
The media reporters nodded one after another, feeling that Tong Yi was not as arrogant as the English media had boasted.
It seems that Tong Yi was also intimidated by Sevilla's amazing strength.
Look, the second-placed team in the Premier League is actually afraid of the fifth-placed team in La Liga. This shows that our La Liga is much stronger than the Premier League, and our La Liga is the number one league in the world.
At this time, the Spanish media are naturally looking forward to Sevilla defeating Crystal Palace and showing the style of the world's number one league team.
Sevilla must win this game.
After saying this, Tong Yi said nothing more and walked directly into the hotel without accepting any further interviews.
To be honest, Spanish media reporters are still a little uncomfortable.
Because they still had many questions they wanted to ask, but this guy Tong Yi just left like that, really not giving them any face, which made them very unhappy.
but
, they have no choice.
They are now looking forward to Sevilla defeating Crystal Palace at their home court and showing off the spirit of this guy Tong Yi.
As for Sevilla, Emery also accepted interviews from media reporters.
Facing reporters, Emery said: "Crystal Palace is a very strong team. Don't be deceived by their status as a newly promoted team. Don't be deceived by the Chinese people's low profile before the game. Tong Yi
This guy is definitely not an easy guy to deal with, he is really powerful! If we underestimate them, we will fall into Tong Yi's trap!"
Yes, Emery is still very sober within the limits of these media reporters.
Emery still has three stacks of Crystal Palace information on his desk.
He is very aware of the strength of Crystal Palace, and he will not despise Crystal Palace just because of Tong Yi's words. On the contrary, he also attaches great importance to Crystal Palace. He believes that Crystal Palace is the team that poses the greatest threat to Sevilla among the top four.
, only by overcoming the hurdle of Crystal Palace can Sevilla win the final championship.
Emery will naturally not underestimate Crystal Palace at this time.
Emery also said, "Crystal Palace is really not a team that everyone can beat. Even if we encounter them in Sevilla, we dare not say that we can beat them 100%. This Crystal Palace has become a team under the leadership of Tong Yi."
A top strong team, if we make a slight mistake, we will definitely lose this game. Therefore, in this game, we in Sevilla must go all out and take it seriously!"
Emery really attaches great importance to Crystal Palace and Tong Yi.
This made the Spanish media reporters very unhappy and speechless. What are you, Emery, afraid of?
Crystal Palace is just a newly promoted team!
Moreover, Crystal Palace is also the least favored team among the Europa League semi-finals. How can you, Sevilla, the favorite to win the championship, be afraid of Crystal Palace?
Sevilla must win this game!
They felt that Emery was showing weakness to the enemy and paralyzing the Crystal Palace team.
However, in their view, with the strength of Sevilla and Crystal Palace, Emery does not need to show weakness to the enemy, you can directly defeat the opponent.
Anyway, Emery’s message in the interview before the game made the media reporters very unhappy, and even made the Sevilla fans a little unhappy. They all felt that Emery was overly cautious and played against Crystal Palace.
Does a team like this deserve this?
Aren't you using a cannon to kill mosquitoes?
However, Emery did not have any refutation of this. His main energy now is to unify the players' minds. He asked the Sevilla players not to underestimate Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace is very strong.
.
If Sevilla's thinking is slightly anchored, this game will be dangerous!
