157: A near miss, advancing to the EFL Cup final!

Crystal Palace defeated Southampton 2-1 and successfully advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.

Crystal Palace's opponent in the next round of the FA Cup is - Liverpool!

This opponent is really strong for Crystal Palace. It's hard to say whether Crystal Palace can advance to the next round.

At this time, media reporters were not very optimistic about Crystal Palace.

Liverpool only has the FA Cup left now. What do you want Rogers to do? .??.

If he doesn't win this championship, can Rogers still stay?

Paul Cup, do you think it’s really just for fun?

Liverpool will definitely abandon everything to fight with Crystal Palace because they want to win this championship.

Why do Liverpool people have to compete with Crystal Palace in the FA Cup? Because in the first leg of the just-concluded English League Cup semi-finals, Liverpool lost 0-3 at home to Chelsea and almost missed the English League Cup final.

Therefore, the Paul Cup changed from the League Cup to the FA Cup.

So, Crystal Palace you are screwed.

Crystal Palace is unlucky to encounter Liverpool like this.

After Tong Yi learned about this, he said calmly, "Is Liverpool very strong? Not necessarily! To be honest, I have the same idea as many Liverpool fans. Rogers is no longer suitable for Liverpool, and Liverpool should change their coach. Therefore, we at Crystal Palace will also go all out in the FA Cup match."

All the media reporters were shocked. What grudge does this guy Tong Yi have against Rogers? To do this to Rogers?

Rogers was interviewed by media reporters. He smiled lightly and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect David to be so jealous of me. This is something I didn't expect! Don't worry, we at Liverpool will also go all out in the FA Cup." !”

Well, it's still early for this game, and these two teams have already matched up.

This is what makes media reporters and fans full of expectations for this game.

However, it is obvious that everyone has to wait for a long time. The next round of the FA Cup will not be until February 15th.

It’s only January 24th, so it’s still early.

Now Tong Yi is ushering in the second leg of the English League Cup semi-final against Sheffield United.

In the first round, Crystal Palace won 1-0 at home, giving them an advantage.

But in the eyes of Sheffield United fans, the point difference is not very big. Sheffield United has a chance. And this also shows that they are at home, and they will definitely win this game.

Nigel was interviewed by media reporters. He said, "We are in a very bad situation now. We are behind the powerful Crystal Palace. But if you want to say that our Sheffield United team has no chance at all, there is definitely a problem. We are here." Playing at home, I believe we have the possibility to create miracles!”

Yes, Nigel is still very confident in himself.

His words also gave Sheffield United fans full confidence in this game.

Sheffield United fans believe in Nigel.

Nigel's performance when he came to Sheffield United was very good. Sheffield United fans all felt that it must be Nigel who could lead Sheffield United to promotion.

Sheffield United is now fifth in English League One. Even at the end of the season, they are still ranked fifth in English League One, and they can also participate in the promotion play-offs.

Therefore, Sheffield United’s airtight door really believes in Nigel unconditionally.

They firmly believe that Nigel will be able to lead Sheffield United to achieve good results.

This time, Sheffield United will definitely be able to counterattack, win, and advance to the League Cup final.

After all, this game is their Sheffield United home game.

With their support at the scene, they will definitely win this game.

However, Crystal Palace fans don’t think so.

Crystal Palace fans all believe that Sheffield United, a League One team, is really no match for their Crystal Palace. Even if this game is against Crystal Palace with an incomplete lineup, they can still easily defeat Sheffield United.

Even before the game, Adriana said, "Sheffield United is indeed the dark horse of the English League Cup this season, but it is almost impossible for them to reverse Crystal Palace. Because Director Tong will not agree to this game. Crystal Palace At least you won’t lose!”

Because they already won the first round, if they don’t lose in this round, Crystal Palace will advance.

Before this game, the second leg of the English League Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Chelsea had ended.

Liverpool defeated Chelsea 2-1 away from home.

However, the Liverpool people dug too deep a hole in the first round, and eventually lost to Chelsea with a total score of 2 to 4, and missed the final of this season's English League Cup.

Therefore, the winner of Crystal Palace and Sheffield United will go to the English League Cup final to compete with Chelsea for the League Cup championship.

So far, media reporters and fans are more optimistic about Crystal Palace.

Even those famous football players who were not very optimistic about Tong Yi before the game believed that Crystal Palace should be able to win this game and reach the final.

However, they all believed that Crystal Palace should lose to Chelsea in the final.

In their view, the champion of the English League Cup in the 2014-2015 season is Chelsea.

Tong Yi didn't say anything about this, because his focus was entirely on the game against Sheffield United.

Although his opponents are not very strong, he still respects their opponents very much.

In this game, Tong Yi still continued the starting lineup from the previous round.

When Tong Yi saw this, his heart trembled, and he could see that Nigel was desperate.

To be honest, Tong Yi still admires Nigel's courage and courage very much. This was beyond Tong Yi's expectation. They didn't expect Nigel to be so decisive and thorough.

Of course, Tong Yi also knows that this is the only chance for the Sheffield Blue Team.

Sure enough, this Nigel is a very good head coach.

At this moment, Sheffield United's offense actually threatened the Crystal Palace goal. The Crystal Palace fans who came from afar were so frightened that it was dangerous!

Sheffield United asked you to press all the way and have surrounded the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Sheffield United's sudden breakthrough was into the Crystal Palace penalty area. Sheffield United center forward Higton shouldered Ricardo Carvalho before firing a shot.

The football roared out and flew straight towards the Crystal Palace goal.

The ball was really fast. Edward in front of the goal only felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes and could not clearly see the trajectory of the ball. Just as the Sheffield United fans cheered and screamed excitedly, Edward, who jumped out from the side, miraculously reached the football and saved it from the bottom line.

This was something Edward himself had not thought of.

He himself thought it was hopeless and gave up, but he didn't know he actually caught it!

Edward couldn't believe it!

The Sheffield United fans at the scene were naturally even more unbelievable. Higton even hit his head with both hands and kept howling. The support couldn't believe it!

Sheffield United got a chance for a corner kick. Reid ran over and arced the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area, directly towards center Higdon. Higton immediately jumped up excitedly and shook his head to meet the ball.

With a bang, the football was pushed out by Ferdinand!

However, the football actually flew in front of Che Adams on the penalty area line. Adams stopped the ball directly with his chest, then volleyed with a kick in the air, followed up with a low kick, and volleyed the football directly into the far corner of the goal.

Neither Ferdinand nor Edouard touched the football in the penalty area, and the football went directly into the far corner.

One to zero, Sheffield United actually scored and took the lead!

And the goal was scored by their new star Adams on the front line, and the Sheffield United fans were excited.

This little guy Adams is only 18 years old.

I just turned 19 in July this year.

It's really amazing for this guy to score in such an important game.

Sheffield United fans exclaimed Adams' name, and the cameras of all media reporters at the scene were also aimed at Adams. Adams really became famous with one goal!

One to one, Sheffield United equalized the score.

Many people are excited. Is Sheffield United really going to reverse the game, complete a huge counterattack, and unexpectedly reach the final of this season's EFL Cup?

Unexpectedly, in the 33rd minute of the second half, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity.

Alonso drove the football into Sheffield United's penalty area with an arc. Ferdinand and Sheffield United's defensive players scrambled for a ball, but no one touched the football. The football leaked directly over and towards the center.
