Are you just saying it's great or not?
Moreover, Crystal Palace's lead over the fourth-placed Manchester City team is also 12 points. With 4 rounds left, Manchester City has no way to surpass Crystal Palace, so Crystal Palace also locked in next season 4 rounds ahead of schedule.
The UEFA Champions League has a strong 32-strong roster, so there is no need to participate in the Champions League qualifying play-offs.
Therefore, now Crystal Palace has only one goal left, and that is the league championship.
Because others have little impact on them.
After the game, Tong Yi said this when facing the media reporters, "I am very satisfied with the results of this round of make-up games, although many media reporters and fans looked down on the full substitutes before the game.
We, but the results have shown everything, our substitutes are still very good."
The media reporters nodded one after another, this is indeed the case.
Before the game, they really looked down on the Crystal Palace substitutes, thinking that they would all lose, but they didn't expect that Crystal Palace actually won the game, and it was a three-to-one victory. They really underestimated the Crystal Palace players.
ah.
However, at this time, some media reporters asked questions about Gretzka.
After all, in the game against West Ham United, Crystal Palace started Goretzka, but Goretzka was replaced by De Bruyne within a few minutes of playing. Okay, no one knows what’s going on. They’re all confused.
Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Leon was replaced early because he did not warm up thoroughly and had a slight strain in the last game. In order to protect him, we did not let him take risks and replaced him early!"
Yes, just over a minute into the game, Goretzka suffered a minor strain.
Adriana immediately asked, "Excuse me, Coach Tong, is Goretzka's injury serious? Is it canceled for the season?"
All the media reporters looked at Tong Yi with bright eyes.
Everyone knows that Goretzka is very important to Crystal Palace. Now Crystal Palace can still fight on two fronts because De Bruyne and Goretzka share the playing time. If Goretzka is injured, the only remaining games will be
De Bruyne is alone, which will definitely affect Crystal Palace's subsequent results.
Everyone wants to know what happened to Goretzka?
Of course, Crystal Palace fans are even more concerned. They are very worried about Goretzka and they don't want anything to happen to Goretzka.
Tong Yi said, "Please don't worry, students. Leon's situation is not very serious. In fact, he can continue to play in this game, but for the sake of his health, we replaced him in advance.
It’s to protect him.”
Although Tong Yi said this, the media reporters didn't believe it. They all felt that Tong Yi was trying to comfort the Crystal Palace fans and prevent them from panicking.
Media reporters feel that Goretzka's situation should be very serious, otherwise Tong Yi would not have taken Goretzka off the field so early. But Tong Yi has said so, and it is not easy for anyone to ask again, only later.
Went to investigate.
At this time, some media reporters asked, "Excuse me, coach David, your Crystal Palace is now one point behind Chelsea. Do you think your Crystal Palace can win the Premier League championship this season? Do you think you can reverse Chelsea?"
Tong Yi looked at the reporter, smiled slightly, and said, "Who told you that our Crystal Palace is now behind Chelsea? We have one game less than Chelsea. If we score three points, do you think our Crystal Palace is still behind? And we have one game less than Chelsea."
The difference of one point is really not big. At present, I don’t think our Crystal Palace is lagging behind Chelsea. To be honest, in terms of mentality, our Crystal Palace has an advantage! Because our Crystal Palace has one more fault tolerance than Chelsea.
of."
The media reporters nodded one after another, this is really what happened.
However, at this time, some media reporters asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Tong Yi, do you think your Crystal Palace can defeat Chelsea in two days?"
?"
Yes, in two days, Crystal Palace will go to an away game to challenge Chelsea.
This game is called the Battle of Tianwangshan by the English media. Many media reporters even think that the result of this game will affect the ownership of the Premier League championship this season. It is the most important thing in the Premier League this season.
of a game.
The Chelsea people are obviously going all out and risking their lives. Do you, Crystal Palace, have a chance?
Tong Yi frowned slightly. To be honest, he originally didn't want to mention this issue today. But when the reporters at the scene asked about it, he felt it was still necessary to mention it.
Tong Yi said, "The next game is indeed crucial, both for us at Crystal Palace and for Chelsea. This game will be a game that both of us will fight for with all our strength.
This promises to be a very fierce and difficult competition. To be honest, I really don’t have 100% confidence in winning right now!”
This is Tong Yi's truth. Now he has no confidence in winning.
Chelsea is indeed very fierce this season. Mourinho has made Chelsea very mature, and it stands to reason that it is time for it to bear fruit.
Therefore, this Chelsea is very difficult to beat.
The media reporters also nodded one after another and approved of Tong Yi's words.
Tong Yi continued, "However, in today's round of competition, in order to ensure victory, Chelsea sent out a full lineup. Their main players did not get much rest. Their physical exertion must have exceeded
Our Crystal Palace. In this game, our main players of Crystal Palace rested and got more training time. This is the advantage of our Crystal Palace!"
It is indeed the case!
Hiss! The media reporters all took a deep breath!
This guy Tong Yi sent out almost the entire substitute lineup in the game against West Ham United. This was really bold. But now it seems that it was worth it. Tong Yi's risk was successful!
In the game two days later, Crystal Palace will definitely play with all the main players, and they will be in full strength.
Chelsea will definitely play with all their main players, but the state and physical condition of their main players are obviously not as good as those from Crystal Palace.
Doesn’t this advantage come to Crystal Palace?
In this game two days later, Chelsea has the advantage of location, while Crystal Palace has the advantage of people. Now we have to see whose side Tianshi is on two days later.
To be honest, at this time, media reporters and fans are a little impatient to wait.
They can't wait to see this game has begun.
They really can't wait for this Premier League battle at Tianwangshan.
Tong Yi also said, "Of course, it is not true to say that we have a huge advantage. Chelsea people are still very strong. And Mr. Mourinho's brain is very flexible and has many things. In this game, I think it will still be
It’s evenly matched. Whether Shui can win depends on a little bit of luck. But what I can guarantee is that our Crystal Palace will definitely go all out!”
Yes, Tong Yi can't guarantee anything else, but there is one thing he can guarantee, that is, the people of Crystal Palace will definitely go all out!
The Premier League has come to an end, and it is useless for Crystal Palace to have any reservations.
Therefore, in this game, Crystal Palace will definitely fight Chelsea to the end.
After hearing Tong Yi's words, many media reporters at the scene were actually a little optimistic about Crystal Palace. After all, Crystal Palace is really very fierce this season. However, after all, this game is Chelsea's home court, and they still feel that they have rich experience.
Mourinho and Chelsea should have a higher winning rate.
In this game, slightly more people are optimistic about Chelsea.
But, to be honest, there are actually quite a few people who are optimistic about Crystal Palace.
At this time, Mourinho was also asked about the game against Crystal Palace at the post-match press conference. Mourinho also responded. They seemed to have called the game in advance today.
Pre-match press conference.
Mourinho said: "Well, Crystal Palace is obviously a very difficult team to deal with, and their results speak for themselves. And in the previous matches this season, Chelsea did not have any advantage.
.Crystal Palace is very strong, and none of their main players played in this game. This is really not good news for us at Chelsea! Even though David is very young, he is really cunning, little guy.
fox!"
Media reporters also heard Mourinho’s worries and fears from his words.
Mourinho also said, "Of course, our Chelsea advantage is greater in this game. We are playing at home, and we have more confidence and richer experience. These are the strong backing for us to defeat Crystal Palace, so please,
Chelsea fans can rest assured that we at Chelsea will do our best to win this game."
As long as they win this game, Chelsea will basically secure the top spot in the league. Even if Crystal Palace participates in the make-up game and gets three points, they cannot surpass them. Then, as long as Chelsea does not have any accidents in the subsequent leagues, this
The Premier League championship this season belongs to Chelsea!
