"The message has been received. Next time you have information on this tactic, remember to find me!"
Judging from this news, Friedman is 80% certain that the person who leaked the team's midfield tactics to reporters during the previous game against Liverpool was Pique! Because everything can't be such a coincidence! This is
The reply date of the text message happened to be yesterday! And the time was even more coincidental, it was during the halftime break of the game!
A coincidence can be said to be a coincidence, but if so many coincidences are added up, then it is not a coincidence, but a fact!
Of course, perhaps in order to give Peake a last chance, or perhaps in order not to be 80% certain, but to be 100% certain about this matter, Friedman took advantage of Peake not realizing what he and Hulk had seen.
What is it? Press your finger and press towards the column of sent messages in the text message!
"It's really him!" After Friedman read the text message Pique had sent during yesterday's game, Friedman no longer needed to go to anyone for verification!
Friedman put it down casually and handed the phone back to Pique, who happened to be walking up to him. He didn't even feel like saying a word to Pique. Friedman pointed in the direction of the locker room door and said, "I believe the team will punish you.
Got it! Then I won’t say anything more! From today on, you go to the youth team and report to Ke Zeman! From now on, you will be under his control!"
"Then coach, when can I come back?" I thought of this in my heart, and even vomited it to my mouth. However, in the end, Pique still didn't really ask. He looked at the people in the Crystal Palace locker room with some inexplicable meaning.
The team members glanced at each one one by one, turned around, and Pique carried his baggage and walked toward the door alone.
There is a traitor in the team, and it was found out that this traitor is Pique. Logically speaking, Friedman should inform the Crystal Palace players about this matter! However, in order not to affect the morale of the big guys, let’s talk about Pique.
Guy, he has been punished for other things by accident. It is impossible to have any negative impact on the team. Therefore, after Hulk talked to Pique alone and issued a hush order from the side, this matter
, it’s been suppressed for the time being!
February 9, 2008! Today is destined to be the day that Crystal Palace fans least want to recall in future generations!
It's not that the owner of Crystal Palace or someone died today! It's not like there was a large-scale fan commotion like in the previous game against Arsenal! Even in the league that day, with Li Yi's hat trick, Crystal Palace was still in charge
At home, they beat the visiting Wigan Athletic 3-2, slightly consolidating their top spot in the standings!
All of the above seem to be good things, so why is it said that it is the last thing you want to remember?
The fundamental reason is that, in such a critical league, as if possessed by an evil spirit, Crystal Palace miraculously suffered injuries one after another!
What’s even more incomprehensible is that regardless of whether it was Bale who was injured in the first half or Modric who was injured in the second half, they both injured themselves when others were pressing them!
And I believe that when it comes to this, everyone will understand! Why do they say that today is the day that Crystal Palace fans least want to face!
Because, on this day, Crystal Palace lost two generals in one battle! Among them was Modric, the current midfield engine of Crystal Palace. How will Crystal Palace face the next game?
After an emergency diagnosis by the team doctor later that day, the next day, the injury reports of Bell and Modric were sent to Friedman's desk by the staff!
"It must be fine, it must be fine! There must be nothing!" Seeing Friedman lowering his head, holding the report but not daring to read it, he just kept talking to himself, muttering endlessly.
He took the report from Friedman and read it directly.
Gareth Bale: Left collateral ligament stress strain! Needs to recover for at least 4-6 weeks!
Luka Modric: Slight muscle tear, needs to recuperate for at least 2-3 weeks!
Both of them had minor injuries. All of this finally did not develop in the worst direction. After reading the report, Hulk had a slight smile on his face! But soon, these smiles were replaced by a sad look.
Got it!
Because, then, this is the critical moment for the championship! Although the injuries of Bale and Modric are not super serious injuries, the season or even their career will be reimbursed! No matter how you say it, they will miss 2-5 games.
He definitely won’t run away! This situation makes Hulk so happy! [
But it is obvious that after seeing the smile on Hulk's face, Friedman automatically ignored or did not see the subsequent sadness that Hulk showed. No, Friedman saw the smile on Hulk's face.
Finally, he asked very excitedly, "How is it, how is it? Hulk, what does the doctor's report say?"
"Uh!" After a slight hesitation, Hulk handed the doctor's report that he had just snatched to Friedman and said, "I don't know what to say, boss, just read it yourself!"
"Bang!" Friedman gently opened the report handed over by Hulk and asked with some displeasure, "If I ask you to tell me, just tell me, where did all this nonsense come from!"
"Uh!" Frightened by Friedman's expression, Hulk didn't dare to continue writing. He could only explain, "Two messages, one good and one bad. I don't know which one do you want to hear first, boss?"
Damn! At this point, Hulk is still playing riddles with himself! In addition, when I observed it before, Hulk seemed to have a sad face at the end. Friedman immediately asked with a little uncertainty, "One is seriously injured and the other is slightly injured."
?”
Shaking his head slightly "No"
"Then let's tell you the good news first!"
Nodding, Hulk responded, "Okay boss, from these two doctor reports, we can see that neither Gareth nor Luca's injuries are too serious. One has a strained ligament and the other has a sprain."
Build muscles! It only takes a few weeks to train!”
"Huh!" The two generals who were second only to Li Yi in terms of their role on the field were sure that it was not a serious injury. Friedman immediately breathed a sigh of relief! Then, just as he was about to ask Hulk what the bad news was,
Friedman, who had just parted his lips and suddenly understood Hulk's meaning, retracted back into his seat!
He picked up the pen from the table and made a few sketches on a piece of white paper. Friedman raised his head and said to Hulk, "I know what you mean, Hulk! The bad news you are referring to is,
No matter how minor their injuries are, missing a few games is indispensable! We will have to face the situation without them in the next few league games, right?"
"Yes, boss!"
Retracting his seat again, Friedman stared blankly at the sunset for a long time. Just when Hulk was about to fall asleep, Friedman said, "Okay, Hulk,
In the meantime, the International Football Match Day gave Friedman and even Crystal Palace a big buffer period. After the game on the 9th, they waited until the 23rd of the month before Crystal Palace ushered in their 27th round.
League!
Going away to challenge a mid-table team like Portsmouth, if the team is in good order, not to mention that after more than half a season, the team is in good order regardless of offense and defense, and already has the look of a strong team.
Even at the beginning of the season, when the team was at its most turbulent, Friedman was confident that he could lead his disciples to defeat their opponents!
Unfortunately, Balzaretti was suspended before today, Pique was demoted to the youth team, and finally Bale and Modric were injured one after another!
Without the four absolute main players in the midfield and backfield, the team's substitutes are weak and the basic framework is difficult to put together. Even if Li Yi is on the court without support, it will be really difficult for him.
Go do something for Crystal Palace!
Fortunately, the morale of Crystal Palace in this game is pretty good, and the defense players are all united! Otherwise, it is really unknown whether they can maintain the 0-0 score until the end!
