256: The biggest dark horse in the Europa League this season
Liverpool has indeed changed coaches, but this currently has little to do with Tong Yi and Crystal Palace.
And this O'Driscoll may not be able to secure the position of Liverpool's head coach. Maybe after the last round of games, his position as head coach will come to an end.
Therefore, Tong Yi really doesn't pay much attention.
Because now Tong Yi's focus is on the upcoming league.
Yes, now the only thing Tong Yi has to consider is the league.
Because the Europa League final will not be held until the end of the Premier League this season.
Yes, Crystal Palace reached the Europa League final in the 2014-2015 season. This is the second consecutive year that they have reached the Europa League final. Last season, they defeated Benfica and won the Europa League championship. This season
, their opponent in the Europa League final is Dnipro!
Yes, it is a big dark horse!
Dnipro comes from Ukraine and is a team in the Ukrainian Super League. They are not considered the top clubs in Ukraine. They have never even won the Ukrainian Super League championship. Their best result is the runner-up in the Ukrainian Super League.
Won it in the 1992-1993 season and the 2013-2014 season.
In other words, they finished second in the Ukrainian Super League last season and qualified for the European competition.
However, their results were still very good in the 1980s.
At that time, the Soviet Union had not yet been dissolved.
As a team, they participated in the Soviet Football League. From 1983 to 1990, they won the Soviet League Championship twice, the Soviet League Runner-up twice, the Soviet League Third Runner-up twice, the Soviet Union Cup Championship twice, and the Soviet League Cup once.
League Cup runner-up, 1 Soviet Super Cup champion and 1 Soviet Super Cup runner-up.
The Soviet Union was dissolved.
After the break, Dnipro participated in the Ukrainian Super League. They were able to obtain the third place in the league many times until 2004, but after 2004, their results were very poor. It was not until last season that they emerged and won the championship.
Won second place in the league.
It is such a team that they were able to reach the Europa League finals this season, which exceeded everyone's expectations.
To be honest, Tong Yi was very shocked.
Dnipro is really a super dark horse!
In the semi-finals, they defeated the Italian powerhouse Naples with a total score of 2-1, 1-1 away and 1-0 at home.
Naples is still very strong at this stage. The Germans spent a lot of money. They were supposed to achieve results this season, but they were eliminated by Dnipro, a big dark horse. It is really a pity.
Of course, everyone was very shocked.
In the quarter-finals, Dnipro defeated Belgian giant Club Brugge 1-0 on the road and 1-0 at home, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
Did you see that Dnipro is the home dragon?
Probably Uk The weather conditions in Dnipro maximized Dnipro's home advantage, which is why they achieved today's results. Of course, the strength and tenacity of the Dnipro people cannot be underestimated. After all, there are still away games. They are playing away games.
Zhongya performed very well.
Without the support of away results, they would not be able to advance to the finals.
Therefore, this team cannot be underestimated.
In the quarter-finals, Dnipro defeated the Eredivisie giants Ajax 1-0 at home, 0-1 away, and 1-0 in overtime. The total score was 2-1. They were able to win in overtime.
Eliminating Ajax shows that their tenacity and strength cannot be underestimated.
In the quarter-finals, Dnipro defeated the Greek giant Olympiacos 2-0 at home and 2-2 away with a total score of 4-2 and successfully advanced.
In the group stage, Dnipro was in the same group as Inter Milan, Qarabag and Saint-Etienne, and they successfully advanced to the second place in the group.
Along the way, it is true that not all Dnipro teams encountered were rookie teams.
In fact, every opponent in Dnipro is very powerful.
One detail that they were able to successfully reach the finals is very noteworthy, that is, their winning rate at home is actually very high, and of course their away results are not bad either.
Seeing the information Schwartz sent in his hands, Tong Yi was extremely shocked.
This team is really difficult to deal with.
Crystal Palace really cannot underestimate its opponent when facing this team.
But for now, Tong Yi doesn't need to consider this opponent because the game against this opponent will be Crystal Palace's last game of the season, so it's too late to consider this opponent after all the leagues are over.
Moreover, at this time, the information about this team still needs to be further collected and analyzed.
Tong Yi saw Schwartz and said, "As soon as possible, collect information about the players on this team, their playing habits, preferred feet, etc. Before the final, I have to find out all their information, even
I want to know what color bottoms they wore in the finals!"
Of course, these are a bit exaggerated, but Tong Yi must grasp all the confidence in Dnipro.
This will be hard work for Schwartz.
Schwartz didn't find any problems or difficulties, because this was his job and what he liked to do very much.
He immediately said, "Don't worry, boss, I'll go investigate immediately."
Tong Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Then, Tong Yi began to prepare for the next game against West Bromwich Albion
Already.
Yes, at this time, Crystal Palace is about to usher in the 33rd round of make-up matches of the 2014-2015 Premier League season. In this game, Crystal Palace will face West Bromwich Albion at their home court.
To be honest, this team is actually not easy to play.
Although West Bromwich Albion have successfully avoided relegation in advance at this time, they have nothing to ask for. However, they just defeated Chelsea 3-0 at home in the last round of games, which shows that their condition and strength are still very good.
Yes, it is still a bit dangerous for the Crystal Palace to encounter them at this time.
Now Crystal Palace fans are a little worried.
Will West Bromwich Albion do Chelsea first and then Crystal Palace?
If this is the case, this West Bromwich Albion team is really awesome, specializing in being one of the top two players in the Premier League!

If the Crystal Palace people really take the lead, it will be difficult for the Chelsea people to catch up again.
After all, there is only the last round of the league left!
It will be very difficult for Chelsea to take the lead!
Even at this time, Chelsea's head coach Mourinho accepted an interview with media reporters. He said this: "Of course, in terms of strength, Crystal Palace is definitely much stronger than West Bromwich Albion."
. But sometimes, the outcome of a game is not only determined by strength, just like West Bromwich Albion faced our Chelsea in the last round!"
It seems that this situation is really difficult to get through. Chelsea people really hate the people of West Bromwich Albion.
If West Bromwich Albion only defeats Chelsea and does not defeat Crystal Palace, or even loses to Crystal Palace, Chelsea people will definitely hate West Bromwich Albion and become mortal enemies with West Bromwich Albion people.
Therefore, the people of West Bromwe are under great pressure now!
Mourinho also said, "I believe that if West Bromwich Albion can beat Chelsea, they can beat Crystal Palace. I think West Bromwich Albion will win this game and I support them."
Mourinho is really betting on West Bromwich Albion at this time.
There is a lot of pressure on West Bromwich Albion. If they lose this game If so, their official website will definitely be destroyed by Chelsea people, and many Chelsea fans will even angrily accuse West Bromwich Albion of playing match-fixing...
At this time, the Chelsea people were really targeting the West Bromwich Albion people!
At this time, West Bromwich Albion's head coach, Alan Owen, also stood up and accepted interviews with media reporters. He said, "To be honest, I am under a lot of pressure now! We at West Bromwich Albion
It can be said that Mwicz shoulders the important task of deciding who will be the Premier League champion this season. To be honest, this burden is really too heavy, and we at West Bromwich Albion are really unable to resist."
At this time, Owen was really worried!
Owen also said, "Of course, please rest assured, we will definitely go all out in this game! We will show the same form and strength as we played against Chelsea against Crystal Palace. We at West Bromwich Albion also hope to win
If you win and get more points, we will definitely try our best in this game!"
Chelsea people are very satisfied, but also very worried.
What if this Owen says one thing and does another?
But at this time, they didn't dare to offend Owen too much, otherwise they would cause this guy's resentment, and the gain would outweigh the loss!
Therefore, at this time, Chelsea fans are cheering for West Bromwich Albion's invitation and cheering them on.
