236: Another away game against La Liga giant Sevilla
Sevilla is full of expectations for this game and is even more confident.
This time, they are here for revenge!
Last season's Europa League semi-finals are still fresh in their minds. This season, they will not let the cup failure repeat itself.
This season, we at Sevilla will definitely be able to defeat Crystal Palace, reach the Europa League final and win the championship.
After being eliminated from the Europa League last season, Sevilla people felt that they missed out on a hundred million.
He won't lose again this time.
Before the game, Emery was full of confidence and said, "It is true that the coach Tong Yi of Crystal Palace is very good, very good! But what I want to say is that this is our home court. We in Sevilla are prepared for this Europa League."
For a very, very long time, we are confident that we will go to the end and win the Europa League."
Emery and the Sevilla people are so confident.
Even the Spanish media are very confident. They firmly believe that Sevilla will win this game. Because Crystal Palace failed to capture the Pizjuan Stadium last season.
This year's first round will still be played at Sevilla's home court, and Sevilla must win this game.
Crystal Palace simply does not have the ability to capture the Pizjuan Stadium.
Now Sevilla fans are waiting for the team to massacre Crystal Palace at home and ensure promotion to the Europa League final.
On their home court, they have a huge advantage, and they also have a huge psychological advantage.
As long as they seize the opportunity, they are very likely to directly defeat Crystal Palace at home.
In this game, Crystal Palace must be massacred.
As for the Crystal Palace fans, they are also full of confidence in this game.
After all, Savilia was once their defeated enemy, so there was nothing to worry about.
Crystal Palace fans felt that their Crystal Palace victory over Sevilla was a piece of cake.
Even the media reporters in England are more optimistic about Crystal Palace. After all, Crystal Palace once defeated Sevilla, then advanced to the Europa League final and won the championship.
Crystal Palace should have no problem beating Sevilla.
Before the game, these media reporters also enthusiastically praised Crystal Palace and praised Crystal Palace very high.
When Tong Yi faced reporters before the game, he said, "I think some people are still too optimistic. Sevilla is not an easy opponent. If we hadn't defeated them at Crystal Palace last season,
I believe they can win the Europa League. They are very capable!"
The media reporters smiled knowingly. They all felt that Tong Yi was using Sevilla to promote their Crystal Palace.
In their opinion, Crystal Palace should be able to win this game easily.
Yes, that's been their idea all along.
Tong Yi narrated: " Emery's team is very difficult to play. Emery is a very thoughtful and capable head coach. He has built Sevilla into a very competitive team. The next one
This game is our away game at Crystal Palace, and I think this game will still be very difficult."
Media reporters and fans all felt that Tong Yi was setting off smoke bombs before the game to paralyze the Sevilla people.
Tong Yi also said, "Some people say that Sevilla's strength has dropped a lot this season and many players have left. Especially the departure of core midfielder Rakitic, which has a great impact on their strength. However,
If you look at the results of the Sevilla people this season, you will know that this has not affected their results at all. The Sevilla people are still very strong."
Yes, last season Sevilla's core midfielder Rakitic left Sevilla for 21 million euros last summer and went to Barcelona.
Many people feel that with the departure of Rakitic and others, Sevilla's strength will decline very seriously.
In fact, it is not the case. Sevilla is still one of the top five teams in La Liga. They have still reached the semi-finals of the Europa League. Their strength has not been weakened.
After all, after Rakitic left, Sevilla has been reinforced by Banega and Koryshowyak, which has made Sevilla's midfield even more rigid. This season
, their strength has not weakened much, but has become somewhat stronger.
Therefore, Tong Yi strongly disagrees with the views of media reporters.
Banega may not be as good as Rakitic, but he is not much worse. Banega is not bad at organizing offense. Moreover, after the addition of Kory Showyak, Sevilla's midfield intensity has improved.
The hardness has been improved. Moreover, this guy can also assist in the offense, perform some series connection and organization. The most important thing is that this guy has a good long-range shooting ability, and the ability to insert from behind is also good.
Therefore, in Tong Yi's opinion, this Sevilla is more difficult to play than last season's Sevilla.
It's a pity that these media reporters and fans don't think so, and Tong Yi has no choice.
Tong Yi also said, "Of course, we definitely have one goal when we go to the away game, which is to win this game and strive to have a huge advantage when we play at home. We at Crystal Palace have already encountered huge challenges in the league.
We don’t want to encounter any more problems in the Europa League. We will definitely go all out in the Europa League. We want to defend the Europa League championship!”
Yes, Tong Yi shouted the slogan of defending the Europa League champion again.
Crystal Palace fans are naturally very happy and excited. They are also full of confidence in Tong Yi. They feel that Crystal Palace can defend the Europa League championship throughout the season.
Tong Yi finally said, "For this game
, we will definitely go all out, and we will show our best form to compete with Savilla, and we will win this game!"
It can be seen that Tong Yi still attaches great importance to Savilla, but he is also full of confidence in them. He believes that although Crystal Palace is playing away from home, they should still be able to win.
Crystal Palace fans were naturally very happy after hearing this.
At this time, a very unfavorable news reached the ears of Crystal Palace fans.
The FA punished Tong Yi, who received a red card in Crystal Palace's away game against Chelsea, with a fine of 30,000 pounds and a two-game suspension. Of course, this suspension will not include the European war, it is only for England.
Two games were suspended. Crystal Palace only has league games in England, so it was actually Tong Yi who was suspended for two games in the Premier League.
This is undoubtedly bad news for Crystal Palace!
Crystal Palace has only four rounds left in the Premier League this season. If you suspend two games, Tong Yi will not be able to participate in half of the games. Are you sending Chelsea to win the Premier League championship this season?
?Bloody FA.
Yes, that's what Crystal Palace fans think.
Crystal Palace fans were very dissatisfied and madly dissed the FA. The FA's official website was also defaced.
However, the FA did not make any adjustments or even reply.
This punishment is what it is and there is no possibility of changing it.
Crystal Palace fans are very angry, very angry. The Football Association is completely targeting our Crystal Palace!
Some people don't want to see the Crystal Palace!
Yes, many Crystal Palace fans believe in conspiracy theories. Crystal Palace has been hacked this season. Some people don't want to see Crystal Palace, a newly promoted team that suddenly emerged, win the Premier League championship for two consecutive seasons.
Some people couldn't sit still and took action.
Although Crystal Palace fans have always thought and believed this, they couldn't get any evidence and it was just random speculation.
But, to be honest, this punishment is indeed very bad for Crystal Palace.
This almost announced that Crystal Palace would miss the Premier League championship this season.
In this regard, Tong Yi did not express any opinions, as if this incident did not happen.
After the people of Seville learned about this matter, they were very excited and very excited. They felt that the Crystal Palace was encountering such a big thing now, and the impact on the Crystal Palace must be very huge, and even affect the
Regarding their preparations for this game in Sevilla, it is impossible to say that Crystal Palace collapsed in this game, and there was no need for Sevilla to take action.
Therefore, Sevilla fans are very excited and happy now. Fen, they feel that Sevilla has beaten them in this game. Now even God is on their side, can they still not win this game?
Tong Yi's two-game suspension does have a great impact on Crystal Palace's Premier League. However, it has little impact on Crystal Palace's Europa League competition, and it even helps. This allows Tong Yi to focus all his attention on
Now that the Europa League competition is here, it’s hard to say that the Crystal Palace players will pay more attention to the Europa League competition. They will be more active and devoted in the Europa League competition.
Therefore, this matter may not be a good thing for Sevilla.
At this time, no one in Sevilla was aware of this matter. They all felt that their Sevilla opportunity had come.
At this time, Tong Yi led the Crystal Palace players to the away game to face Sevilla.
For the Crystal Palace, we went to Seville one day in advance to renovate the stadium and adapt to the Spanish climate.
To be honest, the players of Crystal Palace are no strangers to Sevilla. After all, they were here last season, and the time difference was only one year. Their memories are still clear. Therefore, this away game at Crystal Palace should not be
No matter how uncomfortable I feel, I still feel confident.
Therefore, in this game, Sevilla's home field advantage may not be great.
On May 8, 2015, the weather was cloudy at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium in Saville, Spain.
Today, what is about to be played here is the first leg of the 2014-2015 Europa League semi-final between Sevilla and Crystal Palace. This is the home stadium of Sevilla, and the fans at the scene are already cheering and screaming with excitement.
