116: The Champions League group stage ends this season
4-0, Crystal Palace easily defeated Southampton, allowing Webster to break through the defense. After the game, he did not appear at the press conference and fled away in despair.
After the game, Tong Yi didn't say much. He just said, "For those who think our Crystal Palace has collapsed, what do you think now? Haha!"
With a chuckle, Tong Yi turned and left.
The media reporters at the scene were silent.
Adriana glanced at everyone, stood up and left, not even paying attention to Coman's eyes.
The 14th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season has ended.
Currently ranked first is Crystal Palace, with a record of 13 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses, and 40 points.
The second-ranked team is Chelsea, with a record of 11 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, with 34 points. ??
Although Chelsea has narrowed the point difference between them and Crystal Palace, there is still a 6-point gap between them. Crystal Palace still tops the list, and it is still difficult for Chelsea to catch up.
With such results, you actually say that Crystal Palace is going to collapse?
So which teams are behind Crystal Palace?
Arsenal, ranked third, is now 9 points behind Crystal Palace, and the teams ranked fourth to sixth are all 13 points behind Crystal Palace.
What do you think of these teams?
Therefore, Tong Yi didn't care about the thoughts of guys like Webster at all. Tong Yi's mind has always been on his team's game. The next period will be a very, very important period for Crystal Palace, because next week
After the game, Crystal Palace will go to Asia to participate in this year's Club World Cup. After all, they were the UEFA Champions League champions last season.
Therefore, the next few rounds of the Premier League will collide with the Club World Cup, so make-up games will have to be made on another day.
Crystal Palace's schedule will be even more intensive in the future.
At this time, there were a lot of people staring at them with wide eyes, waiting for them to make a mistake.
Aren't Webster and the others just waiting for this opportunity?
They just hope that Crystal Palace will not be able to withstand the intensive schedule at this time, start to stretch, and then collapse.
Tong Yi obviously won't let people like Webster succeed.
The players of Crystal Palace will not let Webster and others succeed.
Now Tong Yi's focus is on how to lead the team well and strive to spend this relatively busy period smoothly.
He also hopes that the Crystal Palace team can continue to lead like this!
After the weekend's game, Tong Yi and Wagner went to visit Ignacio.
good news!
Both doctors and Wagner claim that Ignacio has basically fully recovered from his injury and can now return to some simple recovery training. In about a month, Ignacio should be able to fully recover and return to the game. Already.
Tong Yi was really happy about this.
This is really good news!
Ignacio recovered from injury when Crystal Palace's schedule was at its most intensive, which was really timely.
However, Tong Yi also told Ignacio, "Don't be in a hurry to come back. You must make a complete recovery before coming back. Do you understand?"
Tong Yi was afraid that this guy would return to the team to train and compete without fully recovering in order to return to competition as soon as possible.
If he gets injured a second time, this guy will be completely useless.
Even without this injury, his body may still have problems.
Therefore, Tong Yi still reminded him that he must fully recover before making a comeback.
This is what the doctor and Wagner also suggested.
Ignacio immediately said, "Boss, don't worry, I won't make fun of my body!"
Tong Yi nodded slightly, very satisfied. He told Ignacio to take a good rest and the team would wait for him to come back, and then left.
To be honest, Ignacio's comeback at this time is indeed a good thing for Crystal Palace.
The schedule has become increasingly intensive, and Crystal Palace's center position is also a bit stretched. Once this guy comes back, there will be no need to worry about this position. If Ignacio comes back and can still reach his previous state, then Tong Yi
I can guarantee you that in this position, Crystal Palace is the strongest player in the Premier League!
Tong Yi is also full of confidence for the following games.
After leaving Ignacio, Tong Yi spent the next day with Martina and little Tong Tong at home, and then led the Crystal Palace players to Portugal.
Because in the middle of this week, Crystal Palace will face Porto away from home.
This is also the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2016-2017 season. Crystal Palace faces Porto in an away game. Both teams are the favorites to qualify for this group. Of course, Crystal Palace has already qualified for the group in advance.
Currently, Porto and Copenhagen are competing for the qualification spot in the other group.
Currently, Porto ranks second in the group. Their record is 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 8 points;
The Copenhagen team is currently ranked third. Their record is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses, with 5 points.
The two teams are now only three points apart. If Porto loses to Crystal Palace in the final round and Copenhagen beats Bruges, they still have a chance to surpass Porto and advance to the UEFA Champions League.
As for Brugge, they currently have 3 points. Even if they win Copenhagen in the last round, they will not be able to surpass Porto, so they have already been eliminated early.
As of now, the group is a competition between Porto and Copenhagen.
Of course, Porto has the absolute advantage so far.
Even if Porto loses, they still have a chance to qualify. If they lose, they will get 8 points, and if Copenhagen wins, they will get 8 points. The winning relationship between the two teams is the same, with two draws; then it is the goal difference.
It is possible that Porto loses with a greater goal difference than Benhagen that wins! Therefore, they also have a chance to qualify if they lose.
Of course, Porto can ensure qualifying as long as they draw.
Therefore, Porto has great advantages.
Basically Hagen had no choice but to fight for his life.
For now, media reporters and fans all believe that Crystal Palace and Porto will definitely qualify from this group. Crystal Palace has already secured the first place in the group and is guaranteed a spot. Therefore, everyone thinks that Porto
The chances are greater.
Because Crystal Palace has already guaranteed qualification, they will definitely not invest too much energy in the Champions League. They will definitely put more energy into the Premier League.
Therefore, Crystal Palace will obviously not send its main players to play in the game against Porto. It is even possible to transfer some young players from the youth team to play in this game, so that they can feel the atmosphere of the Champions League game in advance.
Woolen cloth.
And it is very likely that the same will happen in Porto.
Because they also know very well that as long as they keep this draw, they can directly get points from this game and directly lock in the qualifying spot in the group.
They may not anger Crystal Palace in this game, but once they anger Crystal Palace, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, this game is very likely to be a tacit understanding game.
Before this game, Copenhagen's head coach Solbakken mentioned professional ethics and sportsmanship many times in interviews with media reporters. It was obviously meant for Crystal Palace and Tong Yi.
They hope that Crystal Palace and Tong Yi will not let go and become qualified sports people.
Solbakken said this in front of media reporters, "I strongly believe in the character of the Huaxia coach. I think the Chinese people are the fairest, most upright, sportsmanlike and professional people in the world. After all, the Chinese people have had thousands of years of experience."
The historical heritage makes them more civilized, and I believe Huaxia Tong will go all out."
Well, at this time of self-love, Solbakken really put Tong Yi on the shelf, and even involved the famous clan and historical civilization.
Solbakken really hopes that Crystal Palace can go all out to kill Porto!
After hearing these words, the media reporters would also be very interested in knowing how Tong Yi would respond. They all rushed past Tong Yi crazily to interview Tong Yi. > Tong Yi said: "First of all, I want to say that rotation must be carried out, and it is a plan we have customized a long time ago. This will not change just because someone says a few words! Of course
, no one will worry or doubt, even if our Crystal Palace makes a rotation, we will go all out. Our goal in every game at Crystal Palace is to win, and this game with Porto is the same. So,
Please believe us, we at Crystal Palace will definitely do our best!”
After saying this, Tong Yi responded.
After all, no matter how much he talks, no one may believe him. If the result after the game is very outrageous, these media reporters or Solbakken will not make it easy for him because of what he said before the game.
At that time, he must have been crazily criticizing him and the Chinese nation.
Therefore, Tong Yi did not respond too much.
However, they really have to go all out in this game, even if they make rotations.
In this game, Crystal Palace did rotate. Many main players were not included in the squad. This made the Copenhagen fans very unhappy and angry. They felt that this guy Tong Yi was in
To let go is to deliberately play a tacit understanding, in order to deliberately destroy Copenhagen. They are very angry, very angry.
Even Solbakken's face looked very ugly.
However, to be honest, Tong Yi and Crystal Palace really did what Tong Yi said. They went all out. Whoever attacked was crazy here and threatened many times in the first half of the game.
When we got to Porto's goal, we almost ended the first half with a 2-0 lead.
At the beginning of the second half, Sabitzer received a pass from Witsel and volleyed the ball into the Porto goal from the penalty area, giving Crystal Palace a 1-0 lead.
And they were leading until 10 minutes before the end of the game.
Crystal Palace should be able to win this game.
But who knew that the situation took a turn for the worse in the last three minutes of the game. Porto's Diego and Andre Silva scored two goals in three minutes, instantly changing the outcome of the game.
And these two goals conceded really cannot be entirely blamed on the Crystal Palace people.
Diego's goal was a world-wide kick from more than thirty meters away, and no one could block it.
And Silva's goal was a penalty!
This was a very controversial penalty kick. Judging from the slow motion, Ruben Dias did not touch the fallen Silva at all, but the referee awarded a penalty kick and there was nothing the Crystal Palace people could do.
In the end, Silva made the hit himself and sent the football into the Crystal Palace goal.
Two to one, Porto completed a huge comeback at the last moment and won the game!
