Six consecutive losses!
Crystal Palace suffered a six-game losing streak in the warm-up matches before the start of the new season. This was also the second season after Tong Yi came to Crystal Palace that he lost all pre-season warm-up matches.
But the English media and fans don't pay much attention to this.
They think this doesn't make any sense.
Because they have understood that since Tong Yi, a Chinese soft-boiled man, became a professional football head coach, he almost lost every pre-season warm-up match he coached and rarely won. In fact, he has already
We have lost all pre-season warm-up matches for several consecutive seasons.
But the results he led the team that season were very ideal.
This has shown that the pre-season warm-up match is not comparable to the team coached by Tong Yi, and it has no reference significance. At this time, no media reporters or fans seized on this matter to talk about it.
, they took it lightly.
The pre-season warm-up games are not important at all.
The important thing is to see the level that Crystal Palace shows in the league, which one is real.
However, some media reporters still expressed doubts about Crystal Palace.
They still feel that Crystal Palace is the favorite to be relegated this season.
After all, the Premier League is different from the English Championship. The Premier League is the most intense, fastest-paced, and most competitive league in the world today. Just because you perform well in the English Championship does not mean that you can do well in the Premier League as well.
, after all, in the history of English professional football, many British Championship champions did not do well in the Premier League, and there were even cases where the British Championship champions were directly relegated in the first season after promotion.
In the 2004-2005 season, the first year of the British Championship, Sunderland won the Championship with 94 points and were promoted to the Premier League. Then in the 2005-2006 season, newly promoted Sunderland won 3 wins, 6 draws, 29 losses and 15 points in the Premier League, finishing last in the league.
Relegated to the Championship.
In the 2007 and 2008 seasons, West Bromwich Albion, the champions of the English Championship, won the Championship and were promoted to the Premier League, just like Sunderland. In the 2008 and 2009 seasons, West Bromwich Albion also finished last in the league and were relegated to the English Championship.
Queens Park Rangers, the English Championship champions in the 20102011 season, finished 17th in the Premier League in the 20112012 season and were almost relegated to the Premier League.
Reading, the English Championship champion in the 2011-2012 season, finished 18th in the Premier League last season and was successfully relegated to the English Championship.
Look, that means that in the past 9 seasons, 3 of the English Championship champions have been relegated.
So, just winning the Championship doesn't mean anything. Come on After arriving in the Premier League, they are still a rookie team and are the favorites to be relegated.
The Reading team, the best-performing champions in the history of the English Championship, scored 106 points in the 2005-2006 English Championship and won the championship and were promoted to the Premier League. They only finished 8th in the 2007-2008 Premier League.
, did not qualify for the European competition at all.
This is also the best result in the first season after promotion to the Premier League in the history of the English Championship.
Therefore, it is very difficult for Crystal Palace to achieve good results in the Premier League this season. They want to qualify for the European competition, which is the top six in the Premier League, which is almost possible.
Now everyone knows why media reporters, fans, football celebrities and betting companies are not optimistic about Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace, the British Championship champion, has no way to look at it in front of the Premier League team, plus Tong Yilong
It's no wonder they were able to achieve good results given the young lineup they put out.
Do you think that the Premier League is the same as the English Championship, and everyone can win the championship by renting some talented young players from Premier League teams to compete?
The main players in the Premier League are some of the best and top players in the world, which is far beyond what your players in the Championship can compare with.
You have to know, in the English Championship, there are really teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, the traditional giants of the Premier League, who loaned out some young stars and successfully promoted to the Premier League. But what happened after being promoted to the Premier League? They were defeated and directly relegated.
.
Therefore, the English Championship is not worth mentioning compared to the Premier League.
So, don't look at it. Crystal Palace seemed to have performed well in the English Championship last season and scored 100 points. But what's the use? Reading's best result, which scored 106 points, was only eighth in the league.
There are so many English Championship champions who have been directly relegated.
Therefore, Crystal Palace will inevitably be looked down upon.
Especially after seeing Tong Yi's bad behavior, they were even more so.
You want to rely on a group of young people aged 17, 18 or early 20 to compete for European qualification in the Premier League. This is undoubtedly a fantasy. Your lineup is difficult to avoid relegation, and only an arrogant and arrogant guy like Tong Yi would think so.
At this time, some media reporters even went to interview Sir Alex Ferguson who had just retired.
After all, Ferguson is very optimistic about Tong Yi. What kind of reaction will he have after seeing Tong Yi's behavior? Media reporters and fans want to see it very much.
Facing media reporters, Ferguson said this: "I think there is still something wrong with your thinking. You should not look at David in this way! David is not a head coach who can use common sense to persuade him.
He often does extraordinary things and achieves amazing results."
Webster pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
, I think Ferguson is right.
Ferguson continued, "Go and take a look, what kind of lineup did David have when he coached 1860 Munich? Is his lineup young? If he can succeed in the Bundesliga, why can't he succeed in the Premier League? And
, David’s lineup is not all made up of young people. Doesn’t he have veterans like Carvalho, Delaney and Heskey in his lineup? Doesn’t it also include players in their prime like McCarthy and Paulinho?
Players? And are there also outstanding talented players like Pogba and Lukaku who are young and have already emerged? There are also some young players with good talents."
Hearing these words, Webster kept nodding his head. He suddenly changed his view of Tong Yi.
Ferguson continued, "Look, after hearing what I said, do you think the Crystal Palace lineup is actually quite reasonable? There are three generations of players, old, middle and young, with experience, ability and talent, plus David is very
With solid and excellent skills and tactics, as well as team leadership and on-the-spot adaptability, I think there should be no problem for Crystal Palace to avoid relegation this season. It is also very possible to even break Reading's record for the best results of a newly promoted team in the Premier League.
Even if Crystal Palace does qualify for the European competition in the end, I won’t be surprised!”
hiss!
The media reporters at the scene all took a breath of cold air. Wasn't Ferguson too optimistic about Tong Yi?
However, Webster felt that Ferguson still had some truth. .??.
Yes, Crystal Palace's main lineup still looks very young, but this does not mean that they lack players in their prime and some experienced veterans.
Therefore, the Crystal Palace lineup is not as unbearable as everyone previously thought.
Although it still seems far away from qualifying for the European competition, there should be a chance of relegation, right?
Based on Crystal Palace's current lineup and Tong Yi's excellent coaching ability, Webster feels that Crystal Palace's relegation should not be a big problem this season.
At this time, Klopp, who was far away in Germany, also accepted interviews from media reporters.
Klopp also supported Tong Yi, saying, "My junior brother is very powerful. His understanding of some technical and tactical skills is much better than mine. He is a very, very smart and powerful head coach. I think this
There is no problem for Crystal Palace to avoid relegation this season, and there is hope for even qualifying for the European competition. Don’t forget, David finished second in the Bundesliga when he was first promoted to the Bundesliga, and won the Bundesliga championship the next year.
You doubt such a championship coach, I don’t know what’s going on in your head.”
There is one more thing Klopp didn't mention, that is, Tong Yi is the youngest winning coach in the history of the Europa League.
This is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
After hearing Klopp's words, some media reporters were also shaken. It seems that they really underestimate Tong Yi and Crystal Palace, but they are just I think Crystal Palace can avoid relegation and want to achieve better results, which is impossible.
Even at this time, some betting companies have adjusted the odds of Crystal Palace being relegated.
Gradually, some people think that Crystal Palace can avoid relegation.
At this time, Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger also stood up and accepted interviews from reporters every day.
He said this: "David is a very good head coach. I think you should not underestimate him. His coming to the Premier League will definitely have a great impact on the pattern of the Premier League. I don't understand how you are doing it."
It depends on what he thinks, we at Arsenal will attach great importance to them, Crystal Palace is our biggest opponent at Arsenal in the new season!"
The media reporters were speechless. You, Wenger, have done a good job!
You better go and fight for your four, fight for the four mad demons.
Why don't you just let Crystal Palace avoid relegation? Why do you have to cause trouble for Crystal Palace?
At this time, Manchester United's new head coach Moyes also accepted interviews from media reporters.
Facing Adriana, Moyes said, "To be honest, I don't know much about Tong Yi, whom Sir Alex Ferguson values, but that doesn't stop me from hearing his story. To be honest, it sounds like
Very fantasy, he is really amazing. Anyway, I don’t like what you think, and I don’t care what the fans think of him? Our Manchester United team will attach great importance to him, and I will send people to pay attention to him and his football.
The team. Our Manchester United team must be foolproof. The new season is really too important for our Manchester United team. No one or any team can affect us!"
Adriana nodded slightly, understanding what Moyes meant.
Moyes does not necessarily attach special importance to Tong Yi, but treats all teams equally and attaches equal importance to him.
In other words, in the eyes of Moyes, Crystal Palace is no different from other teams, and there is no need to treat them differently. They are just a falling opponent.
However, Adriana still saw that Moyes was serious. It could be seen that taking over the Manchester United team was also a very stressful thing for Moyes. At this time, Moyes was a little cautious.
Tong Yi didn't pay attention to these rumors from the outside world and the opinions of other team coaches.
Tong Yi's mind is already focused on the new season, which is just around the corner.
The first round of the 2013-2014 Premier League season will start on August 17, with Crystal Palace hosting Tottenham Hotspur.
Before that, Tong Yi went to watch this season's Community Shield match. Moyes got off to a good start by defeating Wigan Athletic 2-0 in his first official match for Manchester United.
After watching this game, Tong Yi devoted himself to preparing for the first round match against Tottenham Hotspur.
This is also Tong Yi's first Premier League game, and he takes it very seriously.
