After the game, in the face of many reporters who were gloating about his misfortune and wanting to see his own joke, Friedman maintained his demeanor very well, "Well, I am basically satisfied with today's draw! I believe you all know that because of the above
An unfortunate incident in one game, the current injury situation of our team is disgraceful!"
"Satisfied? As the leader of the league, you were tied by a team in the middle and lower reaches of the standings. Coach Friedman, are you actually satisfied? Isn't this unscientific? You know, although you have many injuries, Super Arrow Lee does not
Even though he was injured, he still insisted on playing the whole game!"
He looked down upon the reporter who had just asked the idiot question. Although he didn’t want to answer, for the sake of the future of the team, Friedman still patiently replied, “Well, you might also say that Lee is a super arrow.
! If we compare it to a nuclear head, it also needs a guide to carry it! If you just put it there, will it explode? "
On March 1, 2008, the 28th round of the Premier League began in full swing!
At the same time, Crystal Palace ushered in its second league game with Bale and Modric missing at the same time.
Away vs Derby County, well, there is actually nothing much to say about the process!
Why is there nothing to say?[
Let’s take a look at Crystal Palace’s lineup first!
5-3-2! There are only 3 midfielders in the team!
Among them, in order to better utilize Modric's organizational role, Friedman completely liberated Modric and prevented excessive defensive tasks from consuming the Magic Flute's physical strength, and equipped him with two tough guys, Muntari and Naismith.
!
Well, as tough guys, if you let Muntari and Naismith fight and grab on the court, that's all a problem! But, if Friedman still expects these two tough guys to organize an offense? Then it's really difficult for them!
Then, regardless of whether it was the last round or this round vs Derby County, the Crystal Palace game on the field was just one word - lackluster!
Although the defense is united, it has made up for the absence of Pique, Balzaretti, and Bale very well. Not to mention that it is watertight, at least Derby County cannot easily pose a threat to Diego Lopez!
However, after the defense was over, that was it for Crystal Palace!
The ball couldn't be handed over, and within two or three shots in the backcourt, the ball was lost because of the lack of understanding between them, causing Derby County to continue attacking!
When things were a little better, Li Yi handed over the ball and went to the frontcourt. Without any support, Li Yi had to face the encirclement and suppression of multiple players from all sides!
Well, Li Yi's ability is very powerful! Especially after the bonus of having a sense of smell, there are really not many forwards in the world who can match Li Yi!
However, that is just to grab points in front of the goal. Let Li Yi take the ball and look for opportunities by himself! It's not impossible! But facing the opponent's 4 or 5 defenders, you expect Li Yi, who is 187cm tall, to take the ball and pass the opponent.
The entire back line can score goals! That would be a bit unrealistic!
Therefore, after a whole "mediocre" game in the previous game, Li Yi, who was playing more depressed in this game, failed to break through the opponent's gate for the first time this season for two consecutive rounds!
Another 0-0! After two consecutive draws, Crystal Palace has quietly lost its 9-point lead to only 2 points!
Looking at the low morale on the court and the disciples who obviously had no confidence even though they looked like they were training, Friedman sighed depressingly, "Alas!" [
And from the beginning, Hulk, who had been standing beside Friedman without saying a word, also sighed along with Friedman and sighed, "Alas!"
When Modric is on the court, Friedman doesn't feel it either, because Modric is not a performance player like Li Yi who can shine when he goes on the court. Introverted and low-key is his style.
!
But as a saying goes, only after losing something can you learn to cherish it!
If losing Bale only deprives Crystal Palace of an offensive method and greatly reduces the power of wing attacks, losing Modric will paralyze Crystal Palace's overall offense!
Look at the current Crystal Palace team that, without Modric, could not even produce a decent attack in the entire game. Think about it again. Three rounds ago, Crystal Palace winning the league championship this season was by no means a slogan. The situation was chaotic.
Great, I can’t help but feel sad for Friedman, and I miss the magic flute that healed me so much!
Looking at Li Yi who couldn't find any opportunities in the frontcourt during the training match and had to retreat to near the midfield, Friedman quietly turned his head and said in unison with Hulk who happened to be looking at him, "
Tell me, can it be done?"
"It should be possible. I remember when we played against Manchester United, because Luka was locked up, Lee couldn't retreat. It seemed to be effective, not bad?"
Friedman nodded involuntarily and murmured, lost in memories, "I can't forget Lee's several moves in that game!"
At this point, Friedman finally realized what he was talking about. Friedman's eyes lit up, and he looked at Hulk next to him and smiled. Then Friedman said, "Maybe, we can really try.
Early in the morning, it was the same as usual. Even because the team was not playing well recently, he came to the training ground earlier than usual. Li Yi went to the locker room to change into clean clothes. Then, he was about to go to the training ground alone.
Practice for a while! Who knows, before he left the locker room door, Li Yi bumped into Hulk who was coming in from the outside to look for him!
Reaching out to support Hulk who was almost knocked away by him, Li Yi flattered and said with a smile, "Good morning, coach!"
"Ouch!" Being hit by Li Yi's bt body, it's a good thing that Li Yi just wanted to train and didn't rush. Otherwise, Hulk might die young. But even so, he was directly hit by Li Yi
The pain in his chest caused by the impact also made Hulk moan a few words involuntarily!
Seeing Li Yi greeting him, he was going to the training ground to train. Hulk, who suddenly remembered his mission today, quickly spoke out and stopped Li Yi, who had already taken several steps, "Lee, wait a moment, I just
When I saw your car, I knew you were coming, and I came here specifically to see you today!"
"Oh?" From what Hulk said, it seemed that he had something to do. Li Yi didn't pretend to be a big name. He turned around and asked more modestly, "What does the coach want from me?"
"That's it! After watching your whole team practice yesterday, the boss and I both felt that maybe we should..." He was about to tell the club's arrangement for Li Yi to change positions, but suddenly it occurred to him that Friedman didn't
If he wasn't asked to do this, wouldn't it mean that Hulk was too impulsive today and almost ended up doing it instead?
He stopped talking in time, smiled twice in the distance, Hulk waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Lee, you go to train first."
"Huh?" No one likes others to only speak half of their words when talking to them. Unfortunately, what Li Yi is facing now is Hulk, who is highly regarded by Friedman. Therefore, Li Yi also
It's impossible to use harsh words to force Hulk to say things he doesn't want to say. Of course, he's not in a good mood, that's for sure. "Then I'll leave first? Coach!"
"Well, you go first! Lee, what I can say is that what I just wanted to say is not a bad thing for you or the club. Don't think wrongly! Okay, you go to training first
