Chapter 103 Sword Pointing to the Premier League【End of Volume 1】
() No. 103 Targeting the Premier League [End of Volume 1]
The content of the English Championship is basically finished in this chapter. The next chapter will begin, and we will enter the Premier League era. Well, there is a lot to look forward to.
I haven’t asked for votes in a long time, and Fish Fillet is also shouting at me, begging for votes and favorites.
After winning West Brom, there are only the last 8 rounds left in the 2007 English Championship. From now on, the English Championship has officially entered the final stage.
Which teams can be promoted and which teams will go to League One next season will all be revealed in the next month or so.
Currently, after 38 league rounds, Crystal Palace has 25 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, with 81 points, ranking first in the standings. In second place is Birmingham, with a record of 21 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses, and 71 points.
.
As for third place, it is Derby County with 20 wins, 7 draws and 11 losses, with 67 points.
They are 14 points ahead of third place Derby County. There are only 8 rounds left in the league. Crystal Palace has been guaranteed to enter the promotion play-offs. Even if they want to get a place for direct promotion, it seems that they don't have to wait too long.
.
Take a look at Crystal Palace's upcoming fixtures.
In the 39th round, we played Plymouth, which is 13th in the standings, away from home.
In the 40th round, they returned to home to face 12th-placed Sheffield Wednesday.
Starting from the 41st round, Crystal Palace has ushered in a devilish schedule.
First, they faced Preston at home in the early stages of the league. They have been at the top of the table for a long time and are currently ranked 6th in the standings. Next, they played Stoke City, which was 8th in the league, in round 42, and Wolves, which was fifth in the standings, in round 43.
, the 44th round against Derby County, which is currently in third place in the standings. Four tough games in a row. It can be said that as long as they can not go through this devilish schedule with a total defeat record, Crystal Palace will not only directly upgrade the place, but also the British Championship champion will not run away.
.
After beating these four strong teams, Crystal Palace's schedule will be completely easy next. In the 45th round, they will face off against Barnsley, which is at the bottom of the standings. Winning the match should not be a problem. In the last round, facing the hopelessness of promotion,
Colchet, who has no worries about relegation, may have an easier time than the weak teams in front of them.
1-0 Plymouth and 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday. Crystal Palace continued to be strong and extended its winning streak to 13 games.
However, just when the world is watching Crystal Palace closely, hoping that they will continue their winning streak, their winning streak only stops at the number 13.
In an away game against Preston, the biggest dark horse in the English Championship this season, Crystal Palace failed to maintain its strong performance. In this game, Crystal Palace was able to retreat from the opponent's home court, thanks to the opponent's home goal frame. If it were not for the home goal frame, it would have been blocked three times.
Preston must score, and the final score will never be the 0-0 it is now.
Although it is a pity that they failed to win against their opponent, anyone who has watched this game knows that Crystal Palace should be satisfied with just one point in this game, and they cannot ask for more.
When it's good, it's infinitely better. No matter how you play, you can have it. After being beaten by Preston, when facing Stoke City in the second week, Crystal Palace, whose whole team was sleepwalking, finally handed over the ball after Li Yi's arrival.
The team lost for the first time.
There were a total of 4 games in the Devil's schedule, with 1 draw and 1 loss in the first 2 games. Friedman, who absolutely did not want this decline to continue, called all the players together after this game and held a meeting overnight to have a targeted discussion.
They made detailed arrangements for their next opponent.
Well, playing football was like fighting. Although what Friedman did was exaggerated, it was of sufficient use in the 43rd round of the game.
Crystal Palace made a big change in the starting line-up and arranged three extraordinary players, which finally achieved miraculous results.
After defeating their opponent 3-0 at home, Crystal Palace successfully obtained a ticket to the Premier League next season.
Next, for Crystal Palace, the only suspense in this season's English Championship is the insignificant title.
After ensuring the upgrade, Friedman specifically sought out Li Yi and made a tactful request. In the following games, the team will conduct extensive rotations to avoid unnecessary injuries and fully prepare for the Premier League next season.
Unexpectedly, when Friedman thought about it, this request, which was of great benefit and harmless to Li Yi, was ruthlessly rejected by Li Yi.
Just kidding, although the British Championship has no effect on Crystal Palace, the trophy has no meaning either. But it does to Li Yi! Li Yi is still pointing at the 50 super player attribute cards for days.
Well. Where did Friedman give up after just two sentences?
In the end, unable to defeat Li Yi, Friedman had no choice but to remind Li Yi not to work too hard during the competition and to protect himself.
After seeing off Friedman on the front foot, Li Yi started to get busy on the back foot. In other words, Friedman's visit today, among other things, was a wake-up call for Li Yi - the coach thought so.
Yes, most of the team members must have the same mentality!
Li Yi, who was determined to win the British Championship, then quietly started his own underground operations.
First, he called his teammates together, gave some earnest advice, and compiled a lot of benefits of winning the championship. Then, Li Yi made a big promise, saying that as long as the team can win the championship, he will find a few models and put them in his home.
Holding a grand party finally satisfied the desires of those animals.
Although I don’t understand why Li Yi is so persistent, all the teammates who have received the benefits have expressed their opinions that they will definitely give their best in the remaining games.
In fact, Li Yi's nervousness was obviously a bit excessive. The reward for the hidden mission made Li Yi ignore some details. In other words, Crystal Palace currently leads second-ranked Birmingham by a full 7 points. There are still 4 rounds in the league.
Next, as long as they can win one of them, they have great hope. If they win two games, they will definitely not run away. This is a favorable situation. Even if Li Yi follows Friedman's arrangement and takes a rest in the last four rounds, the championship
Attribution is unlikely to produce any reversal.
Of course, these are all empty words and don’t matter if you don’t say them.
A week later, they faced Wolves at home. Although Li Yi made a big promise before the game, facing a strong opponent and Crystal Palace, which has been ups and downs recently, still failed to win the opponent as expected.
After a 2-2 draw, the points gap between Crystal Palace and Birmingham was only 5 points.
However, although the points advantage over Birmingham has been reduced from 11 points to the current 5 points, there is no need for Crystal Palace and Li Yi to be too nervous. At this moment, there are only 2 rounds left in the league, and Birmingham wants to chase 5 points in 2 rounds. Crystal Palace
The opponent is still very weak. The difficulty is not much lower than picking the moon from the sky.
Sure enough, in the 45th round of the league a week later, Crystal Palace did not let the suspense continue. After quickly and neatly defeating the opponent, Li Yi got his wish and led his team to win the English Championship one round ahead of schedule.
Winning the championship one round ahead of schedule, he scored 14 goals in the Championship in a single season, greatly overfulfilling his bet with that disgusting Sasha. Li Yi, who had no further pursuit of the Championship this season, took the initiative to make a deal with Friedman
Show your stance that you can take turns.
Li Yi took the initiative to request. How could Friedman, who was afraid that Li Yi would be injured, refuse to give in? He immediately agreed to Li Yi's request with a smile.
In the last game, he stood on the sidelines early with his teammates. As soon as the referee blew the final whistle, Li Yi couldn't wait to rush towards his teammates on the court.
In other words, it is also the first trophy Li Yi has won. It is essential to celebrate!
