846: I firmly believe that we, Roma, will advance.
It was over, the referee Skomina blew the whistle to end the game.
Crystal Palace defeated Roma 5-3 at home.
The players of the Roma team were not as disappointed and desperate as they imagined. Although they were unwilling to accept the result, they were still able to accept it. After all, they were only two goals behind, and they also scored three away goals.
Doesn’t it mean that they can’t play at home? With only one score of 2-0 back at home, they can eliminate Crystal Palace.
Think about when they were in the quarter-finals, they lost to Barcelona 1-4 in the first round away game, falling behind by three goals. After returning to home, they defeated Barcelona 3-0.
The one away goal in the first round led to promotion!
Now, they have scored three away goals in the away game, and they are still two goals behind. The chances have been greatly increased.
The Romans naturally found it acceptable.
But what they are unwilling to accept is that they had a chance to win this game. If they didn't win in the end, of course they would be very unhappy. .??.
The Roma players stood in the stadium for a long time and were unwilling to leave. They were unwilling to do so!
The fans pretending to be Roma fans in the stands were cursing Roma players and Crystal Palace players wildly in the stands, seemingly trying to stir up trouble and bring the fans of the two teams into the game.
But Roma fans didn't join in.
Although they also feel that it is very regrettable that the team did not win, the current result is still acceptable.
After returning home, their Roma team should have a chance.
After all, this season, their Roma team has not lost in a home game in the UEFA Champions League, with a record of 4 wins and 1 draw. They are naturally confident when they return to their home court this time.
Our Roma team defeated Barcelona 3-0 at home. Can't we beat your Crystal Palace 2-0?
Therefore, Roma fans are not panic at all now.
Winning first is not winning, winning last is winning.
So, let’s wait until we return to the home court to talk about everything.
Our Roma team will definitely not give you any chance. It will definitely be our Roma team that advances to the UEFA Champions League finals this season.
Di Francesco immediately walked towards Tong Yi, stretched out his right hand towards Tong Yi, and said, "Congratulations on winning this game. You are indeed very strong. You taught us a lesson today."
Tong Yi said politely, "Your Roma team is not bad either. Didn't you also score three away goals?"
Di Francesco said bluntly, "This is our only gain from this game, and it is also the confidence for our reversal."
Tong Yi said calmly, "Really? Then we will wait and see!"
Then the two separated.
Regarding the result of this game, Tong Yi felt that it was okay, and he did not feel satisfied or dissatisfied.
That's pretty good.
Although they conceded three away goals, it’s nothing!
After all, three away goals are only useful after Roma wins. If Roma still loses at home, these away goals are really useless!
So, don’t worry about this at all!
After going to the away game, just use the offense directly to win the Roma team.
Therefore, Tong Yi is really not panic at all now.
This result is quite good.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene also felt very good. They were very happy to win this game. At this time, they sang the team song, called the players' names, and waved flags for the players.
They were very happy to watch this game.
Moreover, this game was quite exciting, and they saw many wonderful goals. They felt it was worth it.
Indifferently, the most important thing is that Crystal Palace won.
The five-three victory gave Crystal Palace more confidence to go to the away game and eliminate Roma to advance to the UEFA Champions League final without any problems.
"Crystal Palace actually played well in this game, and it did not give people a thrilling feeling of winning. This game was under the control of the Crystal Palace people from beginning to end. Even when it was three to three, Crystal Palace
This side is still calm here, and then won this game steadily! To be honest, the strength gap between the two teams is still quite big!" Shearer summarized the game at this time, watching
It turned out that he was quite satisfied.
Henry and Mortensen also nodded slightly. It seemed that they were really at ease in this game and were not worried at all that Crystal Palace would lose.
"Although this game also gave Roma three away goals, it doesn't matter. Because Roma didn't need away goals at all. I believe that after going to Roma, Crystal Palace will still win.
.Because Crystal Palace has not lost a game so far, and it has won all the Premier League games. Do you think Crystal Palace will lose to Roma? Impossible!" Mortensen sat upright and sat down.
On the side of the English team, speaking for Crystal Palace.
But Crystal Palace fans all thought they were telling the truth. Crystal Palace was indeed very strong and Roma had no chance at all.
Now only the Romans still think they have a chance.
Henry also said, "Crystal Palace played really well in this game, and Roma also played very well. Roma's performance proved that it was not luck that they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, and they did not live up to their reputation.
They still have strength. In this way, they may not have no chance after returning to their home court, but relatively speaking, the chance is not very great. However, there is no shortage of miracles in this world. As for whether the Romans can create miracles, then
Let’s just wait and see!”
Yes, Henry is already looking forward to the second round of the match between the two sides.
To be honest, there are indeed many people looking forward to the second round of the match between the two sides.
Everyone wants to see how Roma can play after returning to their home court?
Roma fans are full of confidence in this game, and they are very confident in their team's home game.
And now the security personnel on site are very cautious, and they are deeply afraid that something will go wrong.
After all, a group of unknown third-party fans appeared in the stadium today. They were afraid that these guys would cause trouble and stir up trouble, so they enforced security very strictly. This group of fans was strictly protected by him until other
The fans were almost gone before they started to let people go.
There were countless police officers patrolling outside to prevent any accidents tonight.
The Crystal Palace fans were very happy, and they didn’t have any thoughts about anything else. They just went to celebrate in twos and threes. ??
They are really very satisfied with this game.
Di Francesco's expression was quite calm. After speaking briefly with the Roma players, he walked out of the locker room and went directly to the post-match press conference!
When we arrived at the scene, Tong Yi had already arrived.
Di Francesco nodded slightly to everyone, and then came to his own seat.
The post-match press conference officially begins!
Before that, some media reporters had interviewed Skomina, the referee of this game.
Skomina said in an interview with media reporters: "I can only say sorry for the penalty kick. It was indeed a misjudgment, and it should not have been a penalty kick. But there was nothing I could do at the time.
It was indeed invisible from the line of sight, and the linesman did not see the Roma's actions. In our eyes, it was Rudiger's handball. Therefore, I firmly awarded the penalty kick! Here I express my gratitude to the Crystal Palace fans.
Sorry, this ball is indeed my problem."
Yes, Skomina also generously admitted that he made a mistake in that penalty.
But he also explained that he didn't mean it because what he saw at that time was completely different from what he saw in the slow-motion replay. And he was not the only one who saw this.
, even the linesman thought the ball was a penalty kick, that's why he was so determined.
Crystal Palace fans accepted Skomina's explanation and hoped that he would be more cautious in the future.
In other words, Crystal Palace did win today.
If Crystal Palace were to lose today, Crystal Palace fans would not be so generous.
At this time, Di Francesco faced media reporters
They said, "I have nothing to say about the referee's decision. What I want to say is the performance of our Roma team in this game. I am very satisfied. We played with our strength and style. Originally, this game
We should be able to win the game, but to be honest, we lacked a little bit of luck. We missed a lot of opportunities, and the opponent's goalkeeper was amazing at the last moment!"
When he thought of this, Di Francesco was overwhelmed!
Especially Dzeko's two excellent opportunities. If it had been another goalkeeper, it would have been impossible to save them.
Even if Maignan were asked to pounce again, he would not be able to do so.
It was just that under the circumstances, Maignan burst into flames and made a miraculous save.
If it weren't for these two bad luck, the winner of this game would be their Roma team.
Di Francesco was really unconvinced by the loss.
In his opinion, Crystal Palace is really not that strong, and they still have a good chance against Roma.
This is also where he feels confident for the second round of the match between the two sides!
He firmly believes that after returning to their last home court, their Roma team will definitely be able to defeat Crystal Palace.
Di Francesco also said, "I am very satisfied with the performance of my players. I hope they can maintain this state and show the same state when they return to home. In this case, our Roma team will definitely be able to complete the reversal."
!”
The media reporters in the audience shook their heads. They felt that Di Francesco was a bit too confident.
You have to know that it was your Roma team that lost this game!
Where do you get the confidence that you can beat Crystal Palace?
Of course, Italian media reporters were very satisfied as they saw Di Francesco's attitude and ambition.
This is great, this is the confidence for the Romans to make a comeback.
Di Francesco also said, "Of course, our opponent Crystal Palace performed very well in this game, showed very strong strength, and caused us a lot of trouble. They are a very strong team.
, will cause us a lot of trouble. However, they are not invincible. I think our Roma team still has a chance, but our Roma team is a little less lucky in this game!"
Di Francesco never left us with a chance in three words or two. From this, it can be seen that he is really upset about losing, and he still can't accept it now!
Di Francesco continued, "This game allowed us to understand the true level of Crystal Palace and also allowed us to see the level between the two teams. In this way, we will be more confident after returning to home. After returning to home, we will
We will definitely go all out to win and get a place in the finals. This is our goal, and we will fight for it and keep fighting!"
