Before the game against Newcastle United, Tong Yi was interviewed by media reporters.
He bluntly stated in front of reporters, "Our Crystal Palace goal this season is to qualify for the Champions League next season!"
After hearing Tong Yi's words, the media reporters did not refute, but felt that Tong Yi's words were very reasonable.
After all, Crystal Palace is currently ranked very high in the Premier League standings. In second place, people say that in the last 8 rounds, they want to stay in the top four of the league. What's the problem?
If it were any other team ranked second in the league, they would have announced to the world "our goal is to win the league championship" a long time ago. Tong Yi has not shouted the slogan of competing for the Premier League championship now. This is because he is being cautious.
It is also more sensible.
In the eyes of media reporters, Tong Yi is like this.
Sometimes he is so arrogant, and sometimes he is so humble and cautious. This Tong Yi is really a contradictory combination. I really can't understand this guy.
However, Webster and other media reporters said that it is still difficult for Crystal Palace to qualify for the Champions League next season.
After all, there are teams such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal watching behind them. At this most critical time in the league, these teams have extremely rich competitive experience. Crystal Palace is a novice, and they may not be able to resist.
The pressure may not necessarily be able to compete with these teams.
Therefore, they feel that it is not easy for Crystal Palace to get the top four.
The only advantage Crystal Palace has now is that their ranking is pretty good.
However, it is obvious that Crystal Palace may not be able to maintain its top four position.
After all, in the next game, Crystal Palace is likely to start a losing streak.
The next opponent is Newcastle United.
This season, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United have only met once, and in that game Crystal Palace was slaughtered 3-0 by Newcastle United.
That was after Crystal Palace played two consecutive high-intensity games against Chelsea, they met Newcastle United in the league. Newcastle United seized the opportunity and slaughtered Crystal Palace.
Although there are various reasons, Newcastle United did massacre Crystal Palace.
It shows that Newcastle United has good strength, and more importantly, they have the experience and ability to defeat Crystal Palace. Therefore, in this round of games, Crystal Palace is very likely to lose!
After the match against Newcastle United, Crystal Palace will face Chelsea in the next round of the league.
Chelsea is now thinking about competing for the league championship. In the next direct dialogue with Crystal Palace, they will definitely go all out. Crystal Palace will obviously not be Chelsea's opponent and Crystal Palace will definitely lose.
So, Crystal Palace have booked two consecutive league defeats.
Losing these two games, Crystal Palace may really be kicked out of the top four in the league.
< br> Therefore, Crystal Palace really may not be able to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Tong Yi is still a little idealistic now.
Yes, even Webster, who supports the Tong faction, feels that this goal is a bit uncertain. He is still very worried, worried that Tong Yi's Crystal Palace will collapse at the last and most critical moment of the league, and then gain nothing.
In his opinion, Tong Yi should concentrate on himself at this time and take every game seriously instead of preaching his goals for the new season in such a high-profile manner. You will only increase the pressure on the Crystal Palace players, and what else?
It doesn't work either.
This will instead affect Crystal Palace's results.
What Tong Yi did was very thoughtless!
Sure enough, although Tong Yi is very good, he is still too young!
Webster is not very optimistic about the current Tong Yi.
Although media reporters all over England think that there is nothing wrong with what Tong Yi said, they also feel that Crystal Palace gives people an unstable feeling. Maybe it is because Tong Yi is too young, which gives them such a feeling.
.
Tong Yicai ignored these guys.
To be honest, Tong Yi hopes that these media can continue to report him like this, or even increase their efforts to report these contents. It is best to let those direct competitors ignore him and despise him, so that their Crystal Palace can work better.
!
Obviously, these old fritters will not be affected by these media reporters.
Tong Yi's idea will definitely come to nothing.
Now the coaches of these teams attach great importance to Tong Yi and regard Tong Yi as their most powerful competitor. They will not make stupid mistakes.
However, they are now waiting for the Crystal Palace people to make mistakes.
After all, Crystal Palace people are not very experienced and are very likely to make mistakes.
At this time, Crystal Palace's away game against Newcastle United had arrived.
In this game, the starting lineup sent by Tong Yi is as follows
edouard
The back four from left to right is Alonso, Carvalho, Van Dijk and Zhang Linpeng
Double defensive midfielder Weigl and Kante
Single attacking midfielder De Bruyne
The front three from left to right Salah, Lukaku and Mane
In this game, there was still a bit of rotation on the Crystal Palace side, and they were obviously preparing for the next round of games against Chelsea. But most of them were still the main players of Crystal Palace. Obviously, the Crystal Palace people were very interested in this game.
The competition is still taken very seriously.
Newcastle United's starting lineup is this
Such
goalkeeper Krul
Back four from left to right Paul Dummett, Williams, Coloccini and Yanga Mbiwa
Midfield four from left to right Jan Gutfreund, Tiote, Moussa Sissoko and Anita
Double forward Luque de Jong and Papiss Cisse
This can be regarded as Newcastle United's current main lineup. This is a tactic of flying with 200 million and passing the ball from the wing.
Luke De Jong still occupies a very important position in this team. His headers are often the means of scoring for Newcastle United. This fact cannot be ignored by the Crystal Palace people.
As for Xisai, Tong Yi knew it better.
When they were playing in the Bundesliga in 1860 Munich, Cisse was their opponent. He was once all-powerful in the Bundesliga and won the Bundesliga Bronze Boot. After coming to Newcastle United, his number of goals dropped slightly, but he also occasionally had some magic.
The guy who scored the ball is considered a forward with good efficiency.
Therefore, Newcastle United's offensive ability is still very good.
Both wings are fast horses, one is the speed dog Gutfreund from France, and the other is the wing monster Anita who Newcastle United spent 8.5 million pounds to import from the Eredivisie. Both of them are very fast.
Very fast. And they are all the kind of people who can draw, shoot and pass. Although their skills may seem a bit rough, their abilities are still pretty good.
After all, people are fast!
At the beginning of the game, it was Crystal Palace who had the advantage, which was beyond the expectations of all media reporters.
They all thought that Newcastle United, which had defeated Crystal Palace and played at home, would have the advantage. Who knew that the game was suppressed at the beginning, and the Crystal Palace high-position pressing tactics were very successful. Newcastle United's two wingers were completely
Can't fly.
The skills and ball control at the feet of these two people are still a little rough. When forced by a high-pressure combination, they are still prone to making mistakes. More importantly, the game has just started and they have not yet been able to get into the state.
The Crystal Palace people entered the state very quickly and now have complete control of the situation.
In the 11th minute of the game, Zhang Linpeng, who was pressing up from the wing, directly stole the ball. Then he immediately sent the football to the feet of De Bruyne who was diagonally in front of him. De Bruyne seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.
Generally speaking, it seemed that he saw Sissoko's attack. He didn't stop the ball, but directly knocked the football diagonally backward, and then quickly turned around and passed Sissoko.
Kante kept the ball and pushed the ball to De Bruyne who turned around and got rid of the advancing forward.
Two over one!
De Bruyne easily got rid of Sissoko, and without waiting for the opponent to catch up again, he directly swung the football to the left arc. The football directly bypassed Tiote and Coloccini and rolled directly to
At the feet of Salah who penetrated forward. Salah went directly into the penalty area and blasted the ball into the upper right corner of Newcastle United's goal.
One to zero, Crystal Palace takes the lead!
hiss!
All the media reporters at the scene took a breath and were shocked!
The Crystal Palace people actually showed such an amazing state in this ground game. Newcastle United should be finished in this game. The Crystal Palace people are going to complete their revenge!
hiss!
Their predictions before the game were really wrong!
This game will be more difficult to win next!
After conceding the ball, Newcastle United were a little anxious. They pressed out like crazy and wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible. However, this only made them more chaotic. Moreover, under the high pressure of the Crystal Palace people, the midfielders and backfielders frequently made mistakes.
, Newcastle United is getting worse and worse.
Just when the first half was about to end, Lukaku of Crystal Palace received a cross from Zhang Linpeng on the wing, nodded the ball in and smashed the ball into Newcastle United's goal.
Two to zero!
After this goal was scored, Newcastle United's defeat was almost announced.
After the start of the second half, Newcastle United tried to counterattack and wanted to win the opponent in the second half. However, in the 17th minute of the second half, Crystal Palace once again broke through Newcastle United's goal, and Lukaku received De Bruyne.
A through ball, he went to the meeting alone and sent the football into the goal guarded by Krul.
Three to zero!
This goal almost completely shattered Newcastle United's confidence in their counterattack.
The Newcastle United fans also got up early and left the scene. They really couldn't stand it anymore. There was really no way to watch the game like this. Naturally, they were very dissatisfied.
And the Crystal Palace people's attack is not over yet.
In the 78th minute of this game, Lukaku completed a hat trick of this game.
Alonso's cross ball allowed him to easily push the ball from the back point to complete the goal.
After scoring this goal, Lukaku was replaced and went to rest and prepare for the next round of the game against Chelsea.
In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Newcastle United 4-0 away from home, avenging the 0-3 loss in the first half of the season!
In this round of competition, Chelsea also showed amazing strength. They defeated their Derby rival Arsenal 6-0 at their home stadium, Stamford Bridge. They showed their fangs to the Crystal Palace people.
, intimidated the people of Crystal Palace.
Obviously, Chelsea are ready for the next game against Crystal Palace.
The media reporters all felt that Crystal Palace would definitely lose this game!
