217: Unexpected three-game winning streak at the beginning of the season
After the game, Tong Yi immediately led the team to fly to Romania to participate in the second round of the Europa League.
In this game, Tong Yi used a lot of substitute players, and many of the main players stayed in London to rest.
After all, the schedule during this period is very intensive, and appropriate rotation is necessary.
Therefore, Lukaku and the others stayed in London.
In this game, Crystal Palace captain Patrick McCarthy returned, and he partnered with Delaney as a central defender.
For today’s game, Crystal Palace’s starting lineup looks like this
Goalkeeper Speroni
The back four from left to right Schultz, Delaney, McCarthy and Aurier
Double defensive midfielder Weigl and Milinkovic-Savic
Single attacking midfielder Goretzka
The front three from left to right are Sane, Ignacio and Zaha
Milinkovic won this year's European Youth Championship with the Serbian U19 national team some time ago. He has also attracted the attention of many media reporters, and even many scouts are paying attention to him.
Woolen cloth.
However, Milinkovic did not perform very well in this game.
Obviously, it can be seen that the young Milinkovic is still very nervous.
He was replaced by the young Kimmich after half the game.
After Kimmich came up, he performed much better than Milinkovic-Savic. He had a youthful and mature feeling, which added thickness to Crystal Palace's defense. He even looked a bit like Kante. His performance in the midfield
The interception and coverage areas are also very large.
This is what made the Crystal Palace coaching staff exclaim that they have found Kante's replacement.
Even Hamann, who is from Germany, claimed that Kimmich would not necessarily be worse than Kante if he had been allowed to grow for two years. This will definitely be the main defensive midfielder of the German national team in the future. This is Germany's top talent!
To be honest, seeing so many German talents in Crystal Palace, Hamann is full of confidence in the future of German football.
However, Crystal Palace still lost this game.
One to two!
Crystal Palace, who played all substitutes, lost to Romania's Petrolu.
Zaha scored the only goal of the game for Crystal Palace, and it was Goretzka who assisted him!
Although they lost this game, Crystal Palace still defeated Petroglu with a total score of 6 to 2 and successfully advanced to the top 48 of the 2013-2014 Europa League.
After the game, Tong Yi flew back to England with Crystal Palace without stopping.
However, they did not return to London, but went directly to the away game at Bristol because they ushered in the second round of the 2013-2014 English League Cup. Of course, this was also the first game of the English League Cup for Crystal Palace this season, because
Premier League teams only officially join the EFL Cup in the second round.
What a week for Crystal Palace It's too busy.
Because this week, Crystal Palace has three games a week!
Even, Tong Yi is busier than the Crystal Palace players. Because after this game, Tong Yi has to fly to Monte Carlo to participate in the draw ceremony of the top 48 of the 2013-2014 Europa League. After the draw ceremony, Tong Yi also
He has to fly back to England immediately and then lead the team to participate in the third round of the Premier League.
Tong Yi has simply become a trapeze artist this week!
In the 2013-2014 English League Cup, Tong Yi sent out another lineup. The list is as follows
Goalkeeper Speroni
Back four from left to right Marcos Alonso, Aymeric Laporte, McCarthy and Aurier
Double defensive midfielder Weigl and Kimmich
Single attacking midfielder Goretzka
Forward three from left to right Zaha, Heskey and Bruno Fernandes
To be honest, the average age of Crystal Palace is really too low. But to be honest, they performed very well in this game, and Bristol City seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
In the 29th minute of this game, Crystal Palace broke the deadlock in this game.
Alonso made a cross from the left. Heskey in the penalty area headed the ball back. Goretzka followed up and volleyed the ball into the Bristol City goal.
One to zero!
At the beginning of the second half, Kimmich took a corner kick directly into the penalty area. Laporte jumped high in the penalty area and headed the ball home, making it 2-0.
In the end, Crystal Palace defeated their opponent 2-1 and successfully advanced to the third round of the League Cup.
This guy Laporte is really a defender with a knife. He has scored two goals this season. Even at this time, some fans are calling for Laporte to start. In their opinion, Laporte's strength
But he is much better than Van Dijk. Van Dijk should occupy his position and not give up.
Even many media reporters thought so and started to get angry.
These media reporters even complained about Laporte. They all wanted Laporte to leave the Crystal Palace as soon as possible. Go to a place where he can be valued and reused, instead of staying in the damn Crystal Palace.
At this time, Laporte's old club, Athletic Bilbao of La Liga, was interested in bringing Laporte back. "Marca" claimed that Athletic Bilbao has now made an offer for Laporte.
Porter is very close to leaving Crystal Palace. It is impossible to say that Laporte will leave Crystal Palace when the transfer door closes this summer.
This made Crystal Palace fans very anxious, and they persuaded Laporte to stay.
There are even many
Crystal Palace fans petitioned for Laporte. They called on Tong Yi to let Laporte start and let Van Dijk come on the bench.
However, Tong Yi could not hear it at this time, because he had already rushed to the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monte Carlo to participate in the 2013-2014 Europa League top 48 draw ceremony.
To be honest, there were some surprises in the Europa League this season. Before the draw, several teams were disqualified or even suspended by UEFA because they participated in gambling.
During the football turmoil, some teams that had been eliminated came back to life and returned to the top 48 of the Europa League.
When Tong Yi came to the scene, he saw a few old acquaintances, but Tong Yi didn't socialize too much.
Because my energy doesn’t allow it!
He has really been wilting this week!
This week he is flying in the air.
Of course, coming with him today are his assistants Nagelsmann and Ricardo Carvalho. Because Carvalho is one of the guests in today's draw, he naturally has to come.
The results of the drawing of lots will come out soon.
Group A Valencia, Crystal Palace, Cuban, St. Gallen
Group B PSV, Dinamo Zagreb, Chanomors, Ludogorets

Group L Alkmaar, Thessaloniki, Maccabi Haifa, Schact
Crystal Palace has been assigned to Group A. To be honest, this group shouldn't be very difficult for Crystal Palace. As long as they don't have any accidents, they should be able to get a promotion spot.
After the lottery results came out, Tong Yi accepted interviews from reporters every day.
He said, "I am still very satisfied with this group. This group is not very difficult for us. I think it is very easy for us to qualify from the group and advance to the top 32. As for this season's goal in the European competition, I only have one goal.
, that is to go as far as possible!”
Then there is no more!
Tong Yi didn't delay here at all, and flew directly back to England. >
Now is not the time to think about the Europa League group stage, because the first leg of the group stage will not be played until more than 20 days later, so there is no rush. Now Tong Yi is concerned about the weekend league, which is the home game of Crystal Palace one day later
The game against Sunderland.
This is Crystal Palace's third game of the week.
In this game, Crystal Palace has another starting lineup. The list is as follows
edouard
The back four from left to right Robertson, Carvalho, Van Dijk and Zhang Linpeng
Double defensive midfielder Paulinho and Kante
Single attacking midfielder Pogba
The front three from left to right Salah, Lukaku and Mane
This week, Crystal Palace really came up with three sets of starting lineups, which also surprised the media reporters. It seems that there are still a lot of people in the Crystal Palace team who can play football. And this lineup is arranged in the league.
This should be the absolute main lineup of Crystal Palace, so Crystal Palace fans are still very confident about this game.
Crystal Palace fans believe they can win three consecutive Premier League games!
Sure enough, Crystal Palace defeated Sunderland 3-1 at their home stadium, Selhurst Park.
In the 5th minute of the game, Crystal Palace's Salah received a pass from Mane in the penalty area, and swept the football into Sunderland's goal from the back point, helping the team open the way to victory.
Door.
Before the end of the first half, Crystal Palace got a chance for a corner kick. Robertson's arc from the corner kick directly and accurately sent the football to the head of Pogba in the penalty area. Pogba jumped high and headed.
The ball hit the goal directly into the Sunderland goal.
Two to zero!
At this time, all the media reporters at the scene were very surprised. Is the Crystal Palace's offensive power so strong?
In the 20th minute of the second half, Paulinho scored his first goal for Crystal Palace.
After receiving a cross from Mane, Paulinho directly pushed the two defenders forward, fired a heavy low shot from the front of the penalty area, and succeeded with a sudden cold arrow.
Crystal Palace leads 3-0 and seals the victory.
Crystal Palace made a few mistakes at the last moment of the game, and they were caught by Sunderland.
The opponent's substitute Stephen Fletcher missed the ball from the penalty spot and sent the ball into the Crystal Palace goal.
However, even so, Crystal Palace still achieved three consecutive victories in the Premier League.
This shocked the English media. They really did not expect that Crystal Palace, which they designated as the favorite for relegation, could win three consecutive Premier League games.
After the three rounds of the Premier League in the 2013-2014 season, Crystal Palace won all three games and scored 9 points, scored 7 goals and conceded 2 goals. It had a 5-goal difference and temporarily ranked first in the Premier League.
