168: Elected Coach of the Month for the second time this season

The Liverpool team has now arrived in South London and is preparing for the Crystal Palace game.

Before the game, Liverpool head coach Rogers accepted interviews with media reporters.

He said: "Obviously, the FA Cup game is very important for us at Liverpool, and we will definitely go all out. In this game, we will send all the main players in order to defeat our opponents and advance. Next round, even to the end.”

Yes, everyone knows now that the FA Cup is really important to Liverpool.

Because this is Rogers' last hope to stay.

In this season's Premier League, Liverpool basically has no hope of competing for the title. Although there is still a long and short schedule left in the league, with Liverpool's current points and level, there is basically no chance.

They even lost to Chelsea in the semi-finals of the League Cup.

Now the only Paul Cup is the FA Cup.

If Rogers cannot win a championship this season, Rogers will see him again.

Therefore, Rogers is now putting all his attention on the FA Cup. He said that he would field an all-main lineup in this game, and that would definitely be an all-main lineup.

Obviously, Rogers is going to fight Crystal Palace.

And Rogers believes that he is very hopeful that he can win this game.

Because the FA Cup at Crystal Palace should not be the main battlefield, the previous media reporters were right. Crystal Palace's main battlefield should be in the Premier League. If they want to defend the Premier League title, they need to be less distracted by other games and consume less physical energy.

In the League Cup, Crystal Palace has already reached the final, and there is only one game left. They are fully committed, and fighting to the end will not have much impact.

The Europa League is a European competition, and Crystal Palace should not give up easily.

Then the only unimportant game is the FA Cup.

Even if Crystal Palace wins this round of the FA Cup, it will be difficult for them to win the honor. Because the FA Cup schedule is still very long, and it will consume too much energy.

This is not worth the loss for Crystal Palace.

Therefore, the FA Cup should be abandoned by Crystal Palace.

Therefore, in this game, the Crystal Palace people will not put up much resistance. In this game, if Liverpool goes all out, they should be able to defeat them easily and win and advance to the next round.

Rogers also said, "My players are adjusting very well now, and our mental state is also very good. For the same goal, we at Liverpool will definitely go all out. Although this game is an away game, We at Liverpool will definitely beat Crystal Palace."

It can be seen that Rogers is really confident.

Media reporters also think so. They also think Liverpool’s winning rate should be higher.

It should be bigger.

Although this guy Tong Yi said before the game that they would not give up any game. However, they don't believe it.

Now Crystal Palace is very strong, but they are not strong enough to compete for the Grand Slam. Their lineup is still young and thin. Their lineup cannot support a full-scale advance, so choices are necessary.

So far, the FA Cup is the one Crystal Palace is most likely to give up on.

Therefore, media reporters all feel that Liverpool's winning rate in this game is very high, and Liverpool will win this game.

Rogers also said, "Of course, we will not underestimate Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace is very strong. Even if they rotate, we at Liverpool must go all out to have a chance to defeat them. So, in this game, I The players will show their best and win this game."

Rogers has put all his bets on this game.

If Rogers loses this game, Rogers' Liverpool career will end early, right?

No wonder Rogers was very serious at this time, and many Liverpool fans came to the away game, they all wanted to witness history.

Rogers, you're not really going to be finished in this game, are you?

To be honest, Liverpool fans are very entangled at this time. They also hope that Liverpool will win and have a chance to win the FA Cup. But they also hope that Liverpool will lose. In this case, Rogers can be fired early and Liverpool can usher in a new head coach.

Liverpool fans really don't like Rodgers now.

Therefore, Rogers is under a lot of pressure and it is very difficult.

At this time, the Crystal Palace team also accepted interviews from media reporters.

Tong Yi faced reporters and said this: "In this game, we will definitely rotate. Everyone knows that our Crystal Palace front line is too long and too many. Sufficient physical fitness is the most critical. Therefore, rotation is It is very necessary. Of course, even so, we will go all out and will not give up any game easily."

Media reporters all feel that Tong Yi is just paying lip service, and the league and the European war must be more important.

Tong Yi emphasized again, "What I said is true. We will definitely go all out. As for whether you believe it or not, it's none of my business. And I also want to remind Mr. Rogers that your luck will be against our Crystal Palace." It's a bit bad. If you were a little bit less lucky, this game for Liverpool would be over."

When the media reporters heard this, they all felt that Tong Yi was

It's just verbal pressure on the Liverpool people's market price. In fact, it won't have much impact.

And Rogers also felt that at this time, Tong Yi's talking so much was actually more of a verbal pressure.

It is very possible that this guy is going to give up and give up the FA Cup.

Of course, Tong Yi also said, "Of course, you are right. It is actually acceptable for our Crystal Palace to lose in this game. The FA Cup is indeed not very important to our Crystal Palace, at least not this season." From now on, we will definitely go all out, and Crystal Palace must also win the FA Cup!"

The media reporters nodded one after another, secretly saying that indeed, Crystal Palace really wanted to give up the FA Cup.

And Rogers was relieved when he heard this. In this game, their Liverpool chance came.

Tong Yi also continued, "Of course, my players will definitely go all out in this game. The main task of many of them this season is to play in the cup, and they actually don't have many opportunities to play in the league. So. This FA Cup can also be said to be their home game. Naturally, they hope to get more opportunities to play. If they advance to the next round of the FA Cup, they will get one more chance to play. In the FA Cup The further they go, the more opportunities they have to compete. So don’t underestimate them in this game. I think our Crystal Palace still has a good chance in this game.”

Tong Yi is equivalent to reminding Rogers, don't look down on our Crystal Palace too much, otherwise your Liverpool team will suffer.

Hearing this, Rogers also frowned slightly.

Tong Yi is right, these Crystal Palace players really need this kind of game opportunity. Will they really create a miracle in this game and defeat them, Liverpool?

Therefore, Rogers made up his mind and gave the Liverpool players a death order. They must win this game.

To be honest, Liverpool's players are still very confident about this game.

After all, they have already faced each other once this season. It was the 12th round of the Premier League this season. Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool 6-1 at their home court. Crystal Palace had an absolute advantage in confidence.

Moreover, Liverpool is indeed very bad this season.

There are also many injuries to key players in their lineup, which has led to their poor results this season. In particular, the serious injury of Lovren, the future core center back they spent a lot of money to introduce, had a huge impact on them, causing Rogers to directly change the game formation.

Therefore, Liverpool may not be able to defeat Crystal Palace in this game.

Moreover, Crystal Palace's morale surged ahead of the match. Because, Tong Yi was elected as the January Player of the Month for the 2014-2015 Premier League season.

Best coach. Because Crystal Palace won all four league games in January and surpassed Chelsea in the standings to reach the top of the league, Tong Yi was the best-performing head coach in January, and his selection was naturally justified. middle.

This is also the second time this season that Tong Yi has been elected League of the Month.

Tong Yi was quite happy about this. Of course, Crystal Palace fans are also very happy. They feel that under the leadership of Tong Yi, their Crystal Palace can defeat any opponent.

Facing Liverpool in this game, Crystal Palace should be able to win easily.

At this time, a large number of fans had gathered in the stands, beating drums and shouting to cheer for their team.

Surprisingly, many away Liverpool fans came to the scene to support Liverpool in this game. There seem to be six or seven thousand Liverpool fans, which is really an exaggeration. I don’t know why the Liverpool fans are here. Do they really think this should be Rogers’ last game of the season?

If Liverpool really loses in this game, Rogers will really be finished.
