193:Crystal Palace’s Europa League quarter-final opponents announced
By this time, the top 8 of the 2014-2015 Europa League were completely born.
The top eight are Sevilla, Fiorentina, Wolfsburg, Club Brugge, Naples, Dnipro, Zenit St. Petersburg and Crystal Palace.
Among them, the biggest winner is of course Serie A, with two teams in the quarter-finals, followed by one team each from La Liga, Bundesliga, Belgium, Russian Super League, Ukrainian Super League and Premier League.
Of course, the media in England didn't think much of it.
Because they knew very well that when Crystal Palace faced Everton, they knew that only one team could advance to the quarterfinals of the Europa League. They already knew it.
Of course, Tong Yi doesn't care about this. What he cares about is his opponent.
Of course, when the top eight were born, the top eight matchups also came out. The format of the top eight matchups in the 2014-2015 Europa League is as follows
Sevilla [La Liga] s Zenit St. Petersburg [Russian Super League]; Crystal Palace [Premier League] s Fiorentina [Serie A]
Wolfsburg [Bundesliga] s Napoli [Serie A]; Club Brugge [Bundesliga] s Dnipro [Ukrainian Super League]
Therefore, Crystal Palace's opponent in the quarter-finals of the Europa League in the 2014-2015 season was Fiorentina from Serie A.
To be honest, the English media are still not very optimistic about Crystal Palace.
Fiorentina is considered a relatively strong team among the top eight. Crystal Palace will definitely encounter great difficulties when meeting them. It is still a bit difficult for Crystal Palace to defeat Fiorentina. After all, Fiorentina is now focusing all its energy on the Europa League.
Cup competition, but you Crystal Palace still have to take into account the league and even the FA Cup. How can you compare with Fiorentina?
Some of the English media are not optimistic about Crystal Palace.
However, after the match came out, Tong Yi accepted interviews from media reporters.
Tong Yi said directly, "Of course, this will definitely not be in the lottery. Our opponent Fiorentina is indeed very strong. This is a more difficult team to deal with among the top eight. However, I think our Crystal Palace can still defeat it."
We are confident about theirs. We are confident that we can defeat any opponent, including Florence!"
Obviously, the Italian media reporters felt that Tong Yi was bragging, and even some English media felt that Tong Yi was bragging!
Your Crystal Palace's ability to reach the quarterfinals is actually due to luck. If Lukaku hadn't short-circuited his head and fought with his teammates during the game, which resulted in two people being sent off, making the team nine against eleven, thus
It collapsed in the first round.
In the second round, Everton didn't even face each other head-on. They were all players from the youth team.
Your Crystal Palace reaching the quarterfinals is not convincing at all!
The Italian media all feel that Crystal Palace cannot be like this. If it were not for Lukaku, Crystal Palace would not even be Can't even make it to the top eight.
And Fiorentina defeated Roma, their super strong opponent in the same league, to advance to the quarterfinals.
Fiorentina actually made it to the quarterfinals based on their strength, not your Crystal Palace sneaking in.
So, when it comes to your Crystal Palace versus our Florence, one word - you will lose!
Facing these Italian media reporters, Tong Yi continued, "I know you think our Crystal Palace's advancement to the quarter-finals depends on luck, but does our Crystal Palace's rise to the top of the Premier League rely on luck? Our Crystal Palace won the Europa League last year.
Does the championship depend on luck? Don’t forget our identity as Crystal Palace, which is the defending champion of the Europa League this season!”
The Italian media reporters and the English media reporters were both stunned.
Tong Yi continued, "Last year, we were able to defeat any opponent in the Europa League. This year, our Crystal Palace still has the strength to defeat any opponent! Your strength in Florence is not weak, but is our Crystal Palace very weak? No, no, no!
We, Crystal Palace, are very strong. Facing you, Florence, we, Crystal Palace, are confident of winning!"
hiss!
The media reporters at the scene were all stunned by Tong Yi's words. They really didn't expect Tong Yi to be so arrogant!
We do know that you are currently at the top of the Premier League, and you were also the Europa League champion last year. But what does this have to do with this year's Europa League?
If you can't do it at Crystal Palace, you can't do it!
Tong Yi also said, "I might as well tell you straight here, our Crystal Palace has only one goal in the Europa League this season, and the only goal is to defend the Europa League championship! No matter who appears in front of us, we will defeat
They will then win the Europa League trophy this season."
The Italian media reporters shook their heads. They thought Tong Yi was really funny.
They even thought Tong Yi was crazy.
At this time, you dare to shout the slogan of defending your title. Is it really too arrogant to look down on the other top seven?
Italian media reporters all feel that this guy Tong Yi is really too self-righteous. They even think that in this case, it will be easier for their Fiorentina to defeat Crystal Palace. Because this guy Tong Yi looks very good
To deal with.
Even at this time, many media in Italy listed the votes to advance to the semi-finals. Crystal Palace did not even make it to the top four. Because they were completely suppressed by Fiorentina. It is said that the vote support rate is like this,
The number of people supporting Florence reached 8422, the number of people supporting Crystal Palace was 998, and the rest were
It doesn't matter if you choose.
It can be seen that Florence crushed the Crystal Palace.
Of course, even in the poll initiated by the English media, only 6132 people supported Crystal Palace. It can be seen that everyone is not very optimistic about Crystal Palace.
At this time, Hiller stood up.
Facing media reporters, Shearer said this: "I don't know what David offended you, and you would curse David like this! To be honest, in my opinion, the strength between Crystal Palace and Florence is actually
It’s clear at a glance. I think Crystal Palace is a Champions League team, but Fiorentina is not. As long as Crystal Palace doesn’t make mistakes, it will be very easy for Crystal Palace to win this game and advance to the next round.”
Well, Hiller is indeed the most loyal listener!
Shearer also said, "David has already proven himself in the Europa League. They were the champions of the Europa League last year. And what about Fiorentina? Do they have the experience of winning the Europa League? They face stronger players than them, and experience
What chance do they have of winning the Crystal Palace, which is richer than them? Do they just rely on words to win?"
Seriously, what Hiller said makes sense!
Shearer also said, "For now, Crystal Palace is in very good shape. Although they are fighting on multiple fronts, which will constrain their energy and physical strength, for now, they are in a good position to stand on each line.
and distribution are done very well. Therefore, I also believe that if he continues, David can still do well. So, when Crystal Palace faces Fiorentina, is it possible for them to lose? No!"
Check it out, this is a qualified handset!
At this time, Martinez, who had just lost to Crystal Palace, was interviewed by media reporters.
He said, "To be honest, before the game against Crystal Palace, I also thought that Everton could easily defeat them, Crystal Palace. But when it comes to the game, you will find that it is really difficult for you to defeat them.
Even though the Chinese soft rice man is very young, this guy is really an old fox and is difficult to deal with! I don’t think Florence can be the Chinese soft rice man’s opponent.”
Fiorentina fans immediately lashed out and cursed Martinez like crazy.
What can you say about a defeated opponent? Do you know how powerful our Florence is? Just beep!
We in Florence have the strength to defeat Roma, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus. Why don't we have the strength to defeat your Crystal Palace?
Don't underestimate us Florence, we Florence can beat any team.
More importantly, at this time, Fiorentina directly gave up on the league and devoted all its attention to the Europa League. Their only goal was Won the Europa League title.
They, Fiorentina, are going all out, but you, Crystal Palace, have to be distracted to cope with the Premier League and FA Cup games. How could you, Crystal Palace, win against Fiorentina, who are going all out, while we are going all out?
In this game, we Florence must win!
At this time, media reporters interviewed Ancelotti!
Ancelotti has coached in Serie A and the Premier League. He should know these two leagues very well. Therefore, these media reporters want to hear Ancelotti’s views on this game.
.
Ancelotti faced the media reporters and said, "To be honest, I really know these two teams. According to my understanding, Fiorentina is very strong, but Crystal Palace is stronger.
I know David, the head coach of Crystal Palace, very well. The Crystal Palace team he has built now can be said to be a top-level team. It speaks volumes that they are currently at the top of the Premier League."
The Italian media reporters frowned slightly when they heard this. How could Ancelotti be partial to Tong Yi?
Ancelotti continued, "I have coached in the Premier League, and I know how difficult it is to reach the top of the Premier League. That's why I know how powerful Crystal Palace is now. To be honest, reaching the top of the Premier League is better than being at the top.
It is much more difficult to reach the top of Serie A. Crystal Palace is now at the top of the Premier League, but Fiorentina is not at the top of Serie A. How can Fiorentina compete with Crystal Palace?"
Many media reporters were stunned, as if this was really happening.
But they soon realized, can't you compare like this? If you want to compare like this, then why is the Champions League champion not a Premier League team? Premier League teams have not won the Champions League championship in recent years!
Italian media reporters all think that Ancelotti is out of his mind.
Ancelotti also said, "To be honest, as for Fiorentina now, it is impossible for them to win the championship in Serie A. It is actually very difficult to win the championship in the Europa League. Personally, I am still more optimistic about Crystal Palace."
This guy David is really a genius, a super genius!”
After saying this, Ancelotti said nothing more and left directly.
Obviously, Ancelotti is personally optimistic about Crystal Palace.
The Italian media reporters naturally didn't buy it. They all felt that Ancelotti was a little too praising the Premier League and had forgotten his roots.
His words are simply not credible.
At this time, the Italian media believed that Florence would win.
At this time, Tong Yi didn't pay attention to these things at all. Now Tong Yi is enjoying the surprise that Martina brought him at his thirtieth birthday party.
