4 to 4, Crystal Palace was tied by Chelsea at their home court.
This is not a good thing for Crystal Palace.
Originally, they had a chance to win the game, but it was really a pity. Crystal Palace fans felt that they missed an excellent opportunity, but they still gave applause to the Crystal Palace players.
In this game, the Crystal Palace players played well.
If it weren't for Hazard's wonderful performance at the last moment, Crystal Palace would have won this game.
However, even without victory, Crystal Palace still occupies the top spot in the Premier League.
After the 18 rounds of make-up games in the 2016-2017 Premier League season, the points situation is as follows
Ranked first is Crystal Palace, with 17 wins, 8 draws and 0 losses, with 59 points.
Ranked second is Chelsea, with 18 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, with 58 points.??.
Therefore, this situation is barely acceptable.
However, Crystal Palace will face a lot of pressure in the following games.
Every game in the following league games is very important, and they must try their best to win it. They cannot give Chelsea any chance, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
Tong Yi also explained the current situation to his players, hoping that they can go all out.
At this time, the Football Association and the Premier League announced the Coach of the Month for the January 2016-2017 season. This time, the award was not given to Conte, Tong Yi, or even Klopp or Mourinho.
Oh, neither Guardiola nor Pochettino got it, the winner was Paul Clement.
He is the head coach of Swansea and he has not taken over the team for a particularly long time. However, he has done well in leading the team recently. He has defeated Liverpool and Southampton one after another and led the team to escape from the relegation zone. Therefore, this award is given to
Arrive at Clement.
Last month, Crystal Palace led by Tong Yi had one win and two draws. Although they remained unbeaten, they had too few wins.
Chelsea also lost to Tottenham Hotspur, and the records of Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool were not particularly good. Around this Christmas and winter break, these giant teams seemed to be a bit up and down, and some were out of shape.
Now it seems that the players from these wealthy clubs really have a lot of fun around the holidays.
Tong Yi and the fans of Crystal Palace all think that this award is very good without any objection.
Of course, Tong Yi's attention is not focused on this. It is good to win the award, but it is not a big deal if he cannot win the award. After all, this award is not particularly important. Their goal is to win the Premier League championship.
Chelsea is still watching from behind.
Moreover, in three days, the Crystal Palace will have a weekend game.
This weekend, Crystal Palace will face the fifth round of the English FA Cup. Crystal Palace will challenge Huddersfield away from home. This English Championship team still has some strength. After all, they are now promoted to the English Championship. Naturally, Crystal Palace cannot underestimate the teams in the district.
Before this game, Tong Yi found Wagner and asked, "How is Jose's recent situation? Can he officially play the game?"
Ignacio has been training with the team for some time. In the recent training, Tong Yi found that Ignacio should have no major problems and should be able to play in the game, right?
But you still need to ask professionals for professional matters.
Therefore, Tong Yi came to listen to Wagner’s opinion.
Wagner also wanted to talk to Tong Yi about this matter, and the two of them really wanted to go together.
Wagner said directly, "At present, Jose's condition has completely recovered, and it is reasonable to say that he can play. But I still feel that we cannot let him face a particularly high-intensity game all at once. The intensity of this game must be gradually increased."
Increase and give him time to adapt!"
Tong Yi nodded to express his understanding.
Tong Yi immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't push him to the main starting position all at once. For now, he is sitting on the bench and slowly feeling the atmosphere of the game. If he has the opportunity to come off the bench, he can feel it."
The atmosphere of the game, find out the feeling.”
At this time, if Ignacio is suddenly pushed to the starting position, let alone Ibrahimovic, neither the Crystal Palace players nor the fans will accept it.
Ibrahimovic's performance this season is very astonishing and very good. If you take him down suddenly, there will be big problems.
Naturally, Tong Yi would not make such a low-level mistake.
Wagner immediately said, "Then I'll be relieved!"
The next day, Tong Yi announced the squad for Crystal Palace's away game against Huddersfield. Ignacio entered the Crystal Palace squad for the first time after returning from injury. Ignacio was very excited. The Crystal Palace players
He also expressed congratulations to Ignacio.
In this game, Crystal Palace obviously needs to rotate.
After all, next week, Crystal Palace will still have a double match.
Moreover, midweek is also the UEFA Champions League knockout match, which is very important and must be rotated.
Therefore, everyone felt it was understandable when they saw Ignacio entering the squad.
After all, Ignacio has been training with them recently, and they are very familiar with Ignacio's recovery. They also feel that the time for Ignacio to return to the game is coming soon. As expected, Tong Yi immediately gave Ignacio
Genesio has a chance!
Ibrahimovic was not included in the squad for this game, and he had nothing to feel bad about.
Even Ibrahimovic didn't say anything.
In his opinion, this game is not a particularly important game. He knows very well that the following league and UEFA Champions League games are the top priority. Not playing this game is naturally for the sake of important games later.
Prepared.
So, Ibrahimovic doesn't care at all.
But Jimenez cares!
This is just the announcement of the squad for the game, we don’t know who will start and who will be the substitute.
Jimenez has a sense of crisis.
Everyone knows that Tong Yi likes Ignacio very much, and Ignacio is the prince of Crystal Palace. At first, Tong Yi directly gave up Lukaku for Ignacio, who is Jimenez?
?Originally, Jimenez had a lot more game opportunities during the period when Ignacio was injured. He was very satisfied and performed well.
But now that Ignacio is back, what is his position?
Jimenez doesn’t know!
However, one thing he knew very well was that he and Ignacio had different statuses in Tong Yi's mind.
Jimenez felt his best days were coming to an end.
Tong Yi must pave the way for his proud disciple!
This is also the reason why Jimenez has been very active in his performance recently. He hopes to impress Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace coaching staff with his excellent performance. Even if Ignacio returns, Jimenez will be the first substitute.
But now it seems a bit uncertain!
Jimenez has been holding back his energy in training recently to prove himself that he is no worse than Ignacio!
To be honest, everyone has noticed Jimenez's recent performance. This guy is really good. He has completed the tasks that the substitute should complete very well, and he is also so active. Everyone thinks Jimenez is good.
, but they all feel that Jimenez’s life is not good.
Why did you meet Ignacio?
Many players feel that Ignacio, who has just returned from injury, should start in this game instead of Jimenez. In fact, they are a little bit upset for Jimenez, but Tong Yi's prestige is too great
. Moreover, everything Tong Yi did before proved that he was not wrong, so everyone didn't understand but didn't object.
They just felt a little aggrieved for Jimenez.
However, they were not involved!
And Ignacio can also feel Jimenez's fighting spirit. It is obvious that Jimenez has not given up the struggle. Therefore, in recent training, Jimenez has been very active and performed very well.
Ignacio also recognized Jimenez's strength.
Ignacio thinks Jimenez is a good opponent!
Since Jimenez is so active and hard-working, he will naturally not admit defeat, so the two of them compete in training. Everyone can see the competition between the two. When we came out, some people were even a little bit dumbfounded. Just these two guys got involved, which made the atmosphere of the whole team a little bit wrong. If you didn't get involved, you would be embarrassed to stay.
Therefore, during this period of time, every Crystal Palace player worked very hard in training and was all rolled up.
For this reason, Tong Yi also criticized the Crystal Palace players.
Just train hard, why should you work so hard?
I have to put all my energy and energy into the league to fight hard. Isn’t it a waste of energy and expression to fight here?
As long as your usual training meets the requirements, there is no need to work so hard.
The Crystal Palace players all breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to roll.
However, they discovered that Jimenez and Ignacio did not listen to Tong Yi's words at all and were still competing in training. It can be seen that these two guys are very important in the position of the team's chief substitute.
I care.
Ignacio himself knows very well that it is difficult for him to threaten Ibrahimovic's position now that he has returned from injury. Ibrahimovic's performance is so good that there is no reason to replace him.
.So, Ignacio targeted the position of chief substitute.
Isn't he starting to compete with Jimenez?
Tong Yi didn't say much when he saw this. If you want to compete, then go for it, as long as it doesn't affect the team's deployment. And it's good to have two catfish in the club, at least during this time.
People are lazy.
Of course, Vieri and Beckham are both worried.
They were afraid that such things would affect the unity of the club and the team's pursuit of the Premier League championship. So they approached Tong Yi many times and asked him if he wanted to talk to the two of them again to mediate.
Tong Yi waved his hand directly and said, "No!"
Just let these two little guys fight over it, as long as it's not a dirty trick.
Moreover, Tong Yi also believes that such competition will not have any adverse effects on the team. If the coaching staff and Tong Yi interfere too much at this time, it will cause problems within the club.
Now they compete openly and openly for the best, and no one will make irresponsible remarks.
Moreover, Tong Yi is still very confident in Ignacio.
Of course, this does not mean that Tong Yi is not optimistic about Jimenez. Jimenez's talent is also good. It may be a good thing for both of them to compete with each other.
In the future, when these two people look back at this period, maybe they will both be grateful for having this period in their lives!
During this period, the training atmosphere of Crystal Palace was very good and very positive, which also made the Crystal Palace players full of confidence in the subsequent games. At this time, Crystal Palace ushered in the FA match against Huddersfield.
