242: The battle for the Champions League semi-finals!
After the game, Conte did not accept any interviews and left directly.
Because Conte was suspended for this game, he was naturally not eligible to go to the post-match press conference. However, he still appeared in the stands to watch the game. There were some media reporters around him
, as soon as the game ended, these reporters flocked to Conte.
It's a pity that Kong Erleng didn't give these media reporters any good looks and face at all, and just ignored them and left.
This shows that Kong Er was in a very bad mood.
Originally, Chelsea had narrowed the point difference between them and Crystal Palace, and they had a chance to overtake, but at this time something unexpected happened.
To be honest, Conte was very angry.
He is not only angry with the Chelsea players, but also with the officials of the English Football Association.
Why does his suspension have to come to this game?
Do you want to walk away Crystal Palace, or do you want to help the Red Devils and Manchester United?
Yes, Conte criticized the referee after the game and questioned the fairness of the Football Association and the Referees Association. He was punished by the Football Association and suspended for two games.
Start with this game!
To be honest, people from Crystal Palace and Chelsea are not satisfied with this penalty from the Football Association.
Why did you only ban Conte for two games? Our Tong Yi was banned for six or seven games. Why should we make it special for Conte? And the ban date still starts today? Why?
Chelsea people also don’t understand, why should we start from today?
Anyway, fans on both sides are not satisfied.
This time, the FA is really not a good person inside and outside.
Chelsea fans were hoping that if Conte was suspended, Chelsea's results would definitely be affected. As expected, Chelsea lost, and they lost at a critical moment, to Manchester United.
What they couldn't accept even more was that the Crystal Palace people won.
This time, the point difference between the two teams widened again.
After the end of this round, Crystal Palace's points reached 76 points, while Chelsea's points were still 73 points. With the last five rounds and one make-up game left, Crystal Palace leads Chelsea by 3 points, which is very important to the Chelsea people.
The pressure is very great.
Many Chelsea fans cried on the spot.
They feel that losing this game is likely to lose the Premier League championship this season. They are all madly cursing the FA and Crystal Palace. If it weren’t for the FA’s random punishment, Chelsea would never be here.
It's time to fall off the chain.
Shady!
The Football Association is giving Crystal Palace a pass. They want to see Crystal Palace win the championship.
Chelsea people were very angry.
Chelsea people also believe that Crystal Palace must have spent a lot of money to bribe the Football Association and the Referees Association, otherwise they would not be so shady. This Premier League is too fake, and Chelsea fans are very angry.
Even Chelsea fans can't stand it.
Conti also I was very unhappy and angry, and the Chelsea players were also demoralized.
Being three points behind is actually not a big gap, but Crystal Palace is in very good shape and their results are very stable. Three points is already a big gap, and I don't think they will have any chances in the future.
Chelsea people are a little pessimistic.
After all, Crystal Palace will have to directly face strong teams such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. It is really difficult and almost impossible for them to win them all. Therefore, Chelsea still has
There is a great chance.
What's more important is that Crystal Palace will have to focus more energy on the Champions League, and they will definitely lose sight of one thing.
Now is not the time for Chelsea to admit defeat.
Chelsea still have a chance to win the championship this season, and the chance is great.
At this time, Conte's posture was naturally to wink at the Football Association and the Referee Committee, so that they would not dare to paralyze Crystal Palace in subsequent games. In this case, Chelsea would have a chance to overtake Crystal Palace and win the championship this season.
Premier League champions.
After the game, no one from Chelsea accepted interviews from media reporters. Even the assistant coach who attended the post-match press conference sat on the stage the whole time without saying a word. He turned a deaf ear to the questions from media reporters.
Knowing that the ink stains were enough, I stood up and left.
This surprised the media reporters at the scene. They never thought that Chelsea people would do this!
Aren't Chelsea afraid of continuing to receive fines from the FA?
However, it can be seen from their performances that the Chelsea people are in a very bad mood now. The strength of this game may have completely shattered their mentality.
Chelsea is probably doomed.
Then the media reporters naturally focused on the Manchester United team and went to interview the Manchester United team.
Tong Yi, who was on another field, naturally talked about it at the post-match press conference, "We are very satisfied with the result of this game. Of course, I am more satisfied with Chelsea's loss. Manchester United really
It’s great, they showed their strength, it’s very powerful.”
Yes, at this time, Tong Yi almost couldn't express his gratitude to Manchester United.
To be honest, the result of the match between Chelsea and Manchester United was beyond Tong Yi's expectation. He thought Chelsea could win, or at least keep a tie. Who would have thought that Chelsea would fall so much without Conte?
Ah, this is simply a perfect opportunity for them Crystal Palace!
Fortunately, the Crystal Palace seized this god-given opportunity, otherwise Tong Yi would regret it very much.
However, even if he saw Chelsea losing, Tong Yi did not dare to take it lightly.
This season's Chelsea team is indeed very strong. At this time, they are only three points behind Crystal Palace. These three points are crucial for all players.
It's really not a big deal for Erxi. It's not safe. Crystal Palace must be careful and take it seriously.
Otherwise, their Crystal Palace will definitely suffer.
Tong Yi said, "Although Chelsea lost in this game, our Crystal Palace has not yet won the championship. There are still so many rounds in the league, and the final result is really hard to say! The only thing I can say now is that in the following games
"We at Crystal Palace will definitely go all out in every game. Our goal is to win the Premier League championship."
Yes, Tong Yi is not in a bad mood and still attaches great importance to Chelsea.
Chelsea fans were in a very low mood after learning the news.
Why is this guy Tong Yi so indifferent?
Sure enough, this guy is very powerful, he is a cunning and cunning fox. It seems that Chelsea have to learn a lot if they want to fight against Tong Yi. Come on Chelsea, don’t lose to Crystal Palace.
After the game, "The Times" also conducted a poll. They asked fans across England who they expected to win the championship? Crystal Palace or Chelsea? ???
Judging from the current situation, there should actually be more people choosing Crystal Palace. After all, Crystal Palace is in good shape now. They were also the Premier League champions last year and are currently ranked first in the Premier League, three points ahead of the second place...
…These are the advantages of Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace has too many advantages. Everyone should choose Crystal Palace.
But when the results came out, it was still a surprise.
According to survey data from The Times, a total of more than 50,000 people across England participated in the survey. Among them, 57.34 people were more optimistic about Chelsea, 41.17 people chose to support Crystal Palace, and 1.49 people said it did not matter.
This result was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
It seems that more than half of the people are not optimistic about Crystal Palace and hate Crystal Palace. Otherwise, they would not have made such a choice.
It seems that the English are really quite xenophobic.
Tong Yi is not concerned about the investigation of these results. These have nothing to do with me. Tong Yi's current task is to lead the Crystal Palace players to prepare for the next game. Now they are preparing for next week's midweek match with Atletico Madrid.
Prepare for the life and death battle of the UEFA Champions League.
You have to know that in the first round of the match between the two sides, Crystal Palace was trailing 0-1 away from home. Atletico Madrid now has the advantage. If Crystal Palace does not go all out to win this game, Crystal Palace will be eliminated.
ah.
This is something Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace players have accepted.
They also want to win the UEFA Champions League this season, and their ambition is so big.
Did they give up on this game?
Of course, they also know that the current situation is very unfavorable to them, and they are now at an absolute disadvantage.
But, they won't give up!
Tong Yi is now leading the Crystal Palace players to actively They are training in the extreme, waiting for Atletico Madrid players to come to London, England. In this game, they must let Atletico Madrid know how powerful their Crystal Palace is!
Therefore, at this time, Tong Yi really has no intention to pay attention to these reports or Chelsea news. He only has Atletico Madrid in his eyes!
There is only a life and death battle with Atletico Madrid!
After arriving in London, Atletico Madrid head coach Simonis only said one sentence: "At our home court, we defeated Crystal Palace. When we come to the away game, we will still defeat Crystal Palace. The one who advances to the semi-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League must be
We are Atlético Madrid!”
Simeone is really very confident and gave the Crystal Palace people a head start as soon as he arrived.
However, Tong Yi shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't care.
Tong Yi said, "Yes, our Crystal Palace is indeed at a disadvantage at the moment. But the difference of one goal is really not a big difference, especially for a team like our Crystal Palace with a strong offensive ability, it is not a big deal."
That’s it. So, this time we play at home, I am confident that winning Atletico Madrid should be a piece of cake! After all, we have defeated them once, so naturally we will have a second time.”
Atletico Madrid fans are very unhappy. They all think that this guy Tong Yi is really too narcissistic and arrogant.
Atletico Madrid people are shouting to make Tong Yi pay the price!
On April 19, 2017, Crystal Palace faced Atletico Madrid at its temporary home stadium, the Valle Stadium.
The importance of this game to Crystal Palace is self-evident. Crystal Palace fans are naturally unwilling to miss this game. They all flocked to the Valley Stadium, the temporary home of Crystal Palace, and filled the place to capacity.
, there were even many fans outside the stadium who couldn't get in. The scene was really huge.
Atletico Madrid fans and players who came from afar felt the pressure from the away game.
But in this game, Atletico Madrid can't afford to lose. They don't care what the situation is at the scene? They came to take away the victory in this game. Then they directly stepped on the corpse of Crystal Palace to advance to the semi-finals of the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League.
