155: Our goal is to win three consecutive EFL Cup titles

January 21, 2015, Selhurst Park, South London, England.

What is going to be played here today is the first leg of the 2014-2015 English League Cup semi-finals. The two sides are Crystal Palace and Sheffield United.

Sheffield United is a super dark horse in the English League this season.

This is even darker than the Crystal Palace back then.

Because Sheffield United is currently in English League One, which is the third level of English professional football.

More importantly, Sheffield United is currently ranked fifth in English League One and is not a good contender for the English League One championship. It is really unexpected that they can reach the final of the English League Cup. exceeded many people’s expectations.

To be honest, Tong Yi was also a little surprised.

Before the game, he said, "Sheffield United is really the dark horse with the biggest chance. To be honest, I didn't even think they could reach the semi-finals of the EFL Cup. However, now that they are in, this It shows that their strength is still very strong and cannot be underestimated. Therefore, against such a team, we must go all out."

Yes, the two words Tong Yi says most now are "go all out" and "don't underestimate your opponents."

Obviously, Tong Yi is still afraid that the Crystal Palace players will drift away.

The recent performance of Crystal Palace is indeed very good, and more importantly, now is the time when stability is indeed needed. Tong Yi is really afraid that these young players from Crystal Palace will become floating at this time, which will have a great impact on the team.

Media reporters can understand Tong Yi's thoughts.

Adriana asked at this time, "Director Tong, do you think your Crystal Palace can win this game?"

Tong Yi said directly, "I don't know if we can win, but our Crystal Palace will definitely go all out."

Delvestri suddenly asked, "Mr. David, do you think your Crystal Palace can win the English League Cup this season?"

All the media reporters looked at Tong Yi, wanting to see how Tong Yi would answer?

To be honest, it is actually very difficult for Crystal Palace to win the English League Cup this season.

After all, the other two teams participating in the semi-finals are Liverpool and Chelsea.

These two teams are not used to being difficult for anyone to beat.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the form and strength Chelsea have shown in the Premier League. On the contrary, Liverpool is more difficult to deal with than Chelsea, because Liverpool has almost no chance in the Premier League. If Rogers wants to stay, then the League Cup is the top priority, and he must win the League Cup.

This season's EFL Cup is the "Paul Cup" for Rogers.

Therefore, Chelsea and Liverpool are not easy to deal with. It is very difficult for Crystal Palace to easily defeat them.

Even Sheffield United cannot be underestimated.

Who knows whether this big dark horse can go all out and win the final league championship?

In the history of the EFL Cup, there has never been a shortage of miracles for dark horses to win the championship.

Didn't Crystal Palace once win the EFL Cup as a dark horse in the English Championship?

Therefore, you really can't say that you will definitely be able to defeat Sheffield United.

When asked, Tong Yi said: "It is indeed very difficult to win the EFL Cup this season. Our opponents are all strong teams. Even Sheffield United is not something that everyone can defeat easily." , I can’t guarantee that we will definitely win the League Cup, but what I want to say is that we at Crystal Palace will definitely go all out.”

At this time, Webster also asked, "David, do you think your Crystal Palace can win three consecutive EFL Cups?"

Yes, before this, Crystal Palace had won two consecutive EFL Cups.

This season, if Crystal Palace wins another championship, it will be their third consecutive English League Cup.

Tong Yi is really amazing!

Looking at Webster, Tong Yi replied directly, "Obviously, as a person, I naturally hope that the team can win three consecutive English League Cups! But this goal is very ambitious, and I want to It will also be very difficult to achieve him. I can’t say that we will definitely be able to win three consecutive championships, but what I can guarantee is that our Crystal Palace will definitely go all out.”

Well, the media reporters were all shocked. When did this guy Tong Yi become so cautious and conservative?

If it were in the past, he would definitely say that Crystal Palace would win the championship.

Is this guy Tong Yi gradually maturing?

After all, he is a man who is almost 30 years old.

hiss!

Yes, this guy Tong Yi is a man who is almost 30 years old after all.

Really, really too young!

Many professional players are still playing games at this age and have not retired. And Tong Yi is already the godfather of the Bundesliga, Premier League and Europa League championships, which is really amazing.

No wonder the outside world calls Tong Yi the best young coach in world football today.

Of course, Guardiola is also a very good top young coach.

Many people even think that Guardiola is much better than Tong Yi, a Chinese, and Guardiola is the best young coach in world football today.

But, you have to know how old Guardiola is now? How old is Tong Yi now?

Tong Yi is much younger than Guardiola!

Tong Yi debuted as the head coach of a team when he was around 25 years old, and won the league championship and the first season of coaching.

Cup champions are at their peak when they debut.

Guardiola was still playing professionally when he was about 25 years old, and his career had not even reached its peak.

Therefore, Tong Yi is the best young coach in world football today!

Tong Yi is also the youngest champion godfather in world football today.

No wonder Crystal Palace fans give Tong Yi such high praise and praise. It is said that the Crystal Palace Club is currently building a statue for Tong Yi. It is hoped that a statue of Tong Yi will be erected outside Selhurst Park next winter.

Yes, this is already being done. .??.

Tong Yi has really become the legendary godfather of Crystal Palace Football Club. Tong Yi has written a profound and indelible mark for himself in the history of Crystal Palace Football Club.

And it’s not over yet!

Of course, Tong Yi really hopes to win three consecutive English League Cups. That's why he was so cautious at this time, and he was also cautiously reminding the Crystal Palace players. Let them realize the importance of this game and let them devote themselves to it without any problems.

In order for Crystal Palace to win the EFL Cup, Tong Yi devoted himself wholeheartedly.

Crystal Palace fans also care about and value this game very much. They also very much hope that the team can create history and win three consecutive English League Cups. They all came to the stadium to support their team and cheer for the Crystal Palace players.

We, Crystal Palace, have won the English League Cup this season.

The pressure on the Sheffield United players who came to Selhurst Park at this time must be very high. After all, they are not facing an opponent who is thumping. There was originally a gap in strength between the two teams, but now that the Crystal Palace people are so cautious and committed, this game is really difficult to play.

Sheffield United fans are also very worried. They also feel that this game is a huge challenge for their Sheffield United team.

However, there is not much pressure on the Sheffield United players.

To be honest, being able to reach this position has exceeded their expectations. This game is not about winning or losing. Sheffield United have been successful this season. Therefore, at this time, the head coach of Sheffield United is reminding the Sheffield United players that he hopes they can relax, don't care too much about the result of the game, just play well and show their style.

The Sheffield United manager just wants his players to travel light.

As for the Crystal Palace, Tong Yi naturally made adjustments and went through rounds.

Replaced.

The English League Cup is indeed very important, but other games are equally important, especially the Premier League games. So at this time, Tong Yi still has to fully consider the status and physical reserves of the Crystal Palace players, so rotation is necessary.

Of course, some players on the Crystal Palace side also left the team and went directly to the international match day, and the Crystal Palace side also had to make rotations.

Despite the rotation, Tong Yi still has very strict requirements for his players. During this game, Tong Yi spoke modestly. But for his players, Tong Yi said there was only one goal for this game, and that was to win.

Yes, Tong Yi still attaches great importance to the English League Cup championship.

They must defeat Sheffield United, reach the finals of this season's English League Cup, and achieve the final victory to win the championship!

In this game, the Crystal Palace players must go all out!

Single attacking midfielder Milinkovic-Savic

The front three from left to right Asensio, Torres and Sane

Yes, the starting center today is not Ignacio, and Ignacio is not even on the roster.

Because Ignacio is not even in South London now!

The battle for Ignacio that media reporters have been arguing about for a long time finally came to an end on this international match day. On this international match day, the Argentine national team issued a call-up order to Ignacio to play for the Argentine national team.

Originally, the England national team, which did not call up Ignacio on this international match day, saw such a thing happen. They couldn't sit still for a moment. The Football Association also stepped forward and directly called up Ignacio. England national team campaign.

The Argentina national team and the England national team are competing against each other, and the major media are also reporting on this matter one after another. They all want to see who Ignacio will choose in the end? Which national team will you represent?

Sure enough, without making everyone wait too long, Ignacio made a decision and went to report for the England national team.

Yes, Ignacio chose to play for the England national team.

The media and fans in England were very happy and said that Ignacio made a right choice.
