After getting rid of the annoying reporters, Li Yi took a shower in the locker room and returned to the hotel to rest early.
Early the next morning, everyone from Crystal Palace took a charter flight back to London.
He said goodbye to his teammates at the airport without letting the team see him off. Li Yi took the car back to his home.
I opened the door and had just put on my shoes. I raised my wrist and looked at the time. I found that although I left early in the morning, it was already past 12 o'clock. I rolled up my cuffs and was about to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
As soon as he raised his head from his stomach, Li Yi was surprised to find that Dai Mengxi, who rarely cooks, at least rarely cooks seriously, had gone crazy today. He was wearing an apron seriously, holding a spatula in his right hand, and started cooking.
Walked out of the kitchen.
After seeing that the person who entered the room was Li Yi, Dai Mengxi said to Li Yi in a generous manner, "I just finished playing the game. Are you hungry? Sit down for a while and you will have something to eat soon."
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be monsters. Dai Mengxi's performance today, for Li Yi, is doubtful that something goes wrong!
"Is there some intention?" Some people were afraid and thought about it secretly in their hearts. In the spirit of not being able to escape anyway, it was better to face it with a smile, Li Yi tiptoed to the door of the kitchen and looked inside.
.
"Huh!" Seeing that Dai Mengxi inside seemed to be really serious about cooking, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and walked over.[
"Huh?" Because Li Yi did not deliberately suppress the sound of his footsteps, as soon as he entered, he immediately attracted Dai Mengxi's attention. When he turned around, he saw that the person who came in was indeed Li Yi, and he smiled at Li Yi.
Laughing, Dai Mengxi said, "Hey, why did you come in? Didn't I tell you to sit down for a while?"
"Haha!" Li Yi touched his nose with a flattering smile, and asked a little embarrassedly, "What? What happened to you today? By the way, you usually either order takeout or just do it casually, but what happened today..."
Well, although Li Yi has not finished what he said, Dai Mengxi, who is not stupid, must still know what Li Yi wants to say. He changed his face and returned to his true character of a woman. Dai Mengxi said angrily, "Ouch
!I’m in a bad mood today, I just want to cook, can’t I?”
"Uh! That's not to say it's impossible! But, are you sure you didn't poison the food?"
"I'll go, I'll go!" Defeated by Li Yi's serious expression, Dai Mengxi finally said what Li Yi wanted to know, "Do you think I'm really idle? I'm not watching TV. Do you know that you lost the game? I wonder.
Can I help you cook a delicious meal to comfort you?"
"Uh!" After a long day of trouble, it turned out that Dai Mengxi had this reason. Li Yi immediately apologized to the other party very sincerely, and then without saying much, handed the kitchen to Dai Mengxi and returned to the living room to wait.
…
After a while, Dai Mengxi came out of the kitchen and asked Li Yi to eat.
…
Let's not talk about Dai Mengxi's cooking skills for this meal. All in all, Li Yi was very happy with his meal.
As for Dai Mengxi mentioning that he was unhappy about losing the game? In fact, Li Yi really didn't mind that much.
After all, the Premier League is a long-term league with 38 rounds that spans one year. A win or loss in one game at the beginning of the season is nothing. Besides, there are too many coincidences in the loss to Liverpool!
As a fairly reliable central defender, Lescott was able to score three own goals in one game. What Li Yi wanted to say about such a small-probability incident is that maybe when he retires, it will be impossible to do it again. To sum up,
Li Yi really couldn't think of anything worthwhile about him.
After playing Liverpool on the 13th, after only three days of rest, Crystal Palace faced a game that was much more important to them in midweek than playing Liverpool.
Champions League group stage, home vs Real Madrid! Such a game is important enough.[
Speaking of which, Crystal Palace is quite miserable. It was just "abused" by Liverpool in the league, and then it ushered in the absolute giant Real Madrid. Regardless of others, in short, Friedman's recent brain injury
Thorough.
After studying his team for three full days, in the end, although he had already sketched out a roughly feasible plan in his mind, facing Real Madrid and the first Champions League match of his coaching career, Friedman
I really don't have much confidence, so I use this kind of game to practice my courage. Therefore, in this game, Friedman is still "stubborn" and adopts the starting lineup that lost to Liverpool in the previous game.
"Hello, dear viewers, dear viewers, this is Sky TV, and I am the host jk. Today's game between Crystal Palace and Real Madrid will be narrated by me.
Well, according to management, before the game starts, I will introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides.
First let's take a look at Real Madrid. It seems that Real Madrid's head coach Schuster has not made any changes because the opponent is the new Premier League champion. He still adopts a relatively large rotation.
4 midfielders: No. 23 Van der Vaart, No. 8 Gago, No. 14 Guti, and No. 11 Robben.
At the front are No. 9 Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the penalty area, and Raul, No. 7, the King of the Ring.
Well, after talking about the visiting team, let’s take a look at the home team.
The home team Crystal Palace started today with the same lineup as when they lost to Liverpool in the previous round.
Still 4-2-3-1
…
In this game, will Crystal Palace usher in its first two-game losing streak in the past two years, or will it stop its decline, beat Real Madrid, and get a good start in the new Champions League season? Let’s get into the game together.”
After the game started, although the overall strength, on paper, was not much weaker than Real Madrid, due to problems with his own lineup, Friedman spent so long and failed to find a good solution for his own job.
, and insisted on arranging Yaya Toure and Modric to start together as a defensive midfielder. Therefore, it was inevitable that after the start of the game, after only resisting for 2 or 3 minutes, Crystal Palace was at a disadvantage in the competition with Real Madrid.
In the 3rd minute, Van der Vaart stole the ball from Modric in the midfield and passed it straight into the penalty area. Ruud van Nistelrooy hit the side net with an offside shot from the right rib of the penalty area, and Crystal Palace escaped.
Three minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback. After Guti dribbled past two people on the left side of the penalty area, he successfully got a single chance. Unfortunately, in the end, Guti's single shot was slightly deflected from the goal after being saved by Diego Lopez.
Real Madrid wins a corner kick
When the players in the Crystal Palace penalty area were fighting for position, no one noticed that Van der Vaart did not choose to pass the corner kick directly, but took a tactical corner kick.
After receiving a tactical corner kick from Van der Vaart, Guti passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the small penalty area. Ramos, who was defending, scored with his right foot. 1-0, Real Madrid leads away from home!
In the 10th minute, Van Nistelrooy made a direct pass. Van der Vaart knocked the outside instep of his right foot. Raul's left-footed arc shot in front of the penalty area missed the post.
Waiting until the 13th minute of the game, Crystal Palace finally organized their first decent offensive of the game today. After the ball passed through the transition of several players in the midfield, it successfully went to the feet of Bell on the left.
Bell, who was behind the ball, used the opponent's right back to get in the gap and successfully made a pass.
And Li Yi, who had ambushed early in the middle of the penalty area, did not disappoint Bell. He overwhelmed the opponent's three defensive players and took the lead in grabbing the ball's first landing spot.
Unfortunately, due to being squeezed forward and backward by several opposing players, Li Yi's header shot failed to gain strength and was easily picked up by Casillas.
