206: Only rivals Chelsea

It's over, the game is over!

Crystal Palace fans have started carnival mode, which seems to be more exciting than Crystal Palace winning the league championship.

It’s great to complete the reversal at such an important time!

The most important thing is that Crystal Palace got three points.

It is very important to defeat Manchester City and get three points. These few points will declare that Manchester City will withdraw from the Premier League championship this season. Next, there is only one competitor for Crystal Palace, and that is city rival Chelsea.

However, what made Crystal Palace fans not in a good mood was that Chelsea also won this round.

Chelsea defeated Stoke City 2-1 at home.

To be honest, Chelsea really almost lost.

However, in the last ten minutes of the game, Chelsea scored two goals and reversed the game.

It's such a pity.

Therefore, after this round of games, Crystal Palace is still three points ahead of Chelsea.

After the 31 rounds of the 2014-2015 Premier League season, the standings are as follows

The number one ranking is still Crystal Palace. Their record is 22 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, with 70 points.

The second-ranked team is still Chelsea, with a record of 20 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses, with 67 points.

Ranked third is Arsenal, with a record of 18 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, with 60 points.

Ranked fourth is Manchester United, with a record of 17 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses, with 59 points.

Ranked fifth is Manchester City, with a record of 17 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, with 58 points.

Ranked sixth is Liverpool, with a record of 15 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses, with 51 points.

…

Currently, Manchester City is 12 points behind Crystal Palace, and Crystal Palace has one game less.

If Crystal Palace wins this make-up round, Crystal Palace will be 15 points ahead of Manchester City.

There are currently only seven rounds left in the Premier League. In theory, Manchester City still has a chance to overtake Crystal Palace. But everyone knows that Manchester City has no chance. With the current state of Crystal Palace, you expect Crystal Palace to lose five consecutive games or even six or seven games in a row. Is this realistic?

Obviously unrealistic.

In the next round of matches, Manchester City will also face the Manchester Derby, and they will challenge Manchester United away from home.

They may not be able to win this game. How can they have a chance to compete for the league championship?

At the end of the game, all Manchester City fans were desperate.

They also know very well that their Manchester City team has no chance this season.

They all feel that it is time for the current Manchester City team to be updated, from top to bottom, so that the Manchester City team can ensure new vitality and competitiveness.

It is said that at this time, the top management of Manchester City already had this plan.

After the game, Manchester City coach Pellegrini accepted interviews with media reporters.

Pellegrini said, "In fact, our Manchester City team had many opportunities in this game. Even at the beginning of the game, we took the absolute initiative. At the end of the half, our Manchester City team was still two points ahead. The ball. To be honest, our Manchester City team should have won the game in Zhejiang. But the Crystal Palace people are really difficult to deal with. The opponent’s head coach was well prepared. Our Manchester City team’s reaction was a bit slow. These are all my fault. It’s my fault.”

It can be seen that Pellegrini has shouldered the responsibility.

To be honest, it is really a miracle that Pellegrini can continue to appear as the head coach of Manchester City.

Manchester City has repeatedly announced that it will fire Pellegrini, and they are preparing to find a new replacement. In fact, the last time Manchester City club officials officially announced the dismissal of Pellegrini, saying that they had found a replacement, Pellegrini himself even sent a farewell message. I don’t know why Pellegrini stayed later and persisted until now.

However, many media reporters feel that even water cannot save Pellegrini this time.

This season, Manchester City can almost be said to have nothing to gain.

This is unacceptable to Manchester City fans, Manchester City's senior management, and even Manchester City's players. Therefore, it is impossible for Pellegrini to record and stay. Even if he wanted to stay, it would be impossible.

At this time, Pellegrini said this: "To be honest, covering up is all my responsibility. I failed to fulfill my responsibility. Everything is my fault and my responsibility. Pass I have also seen through so many games that my ability is not enough to support Manchester City's championship dream. Therefore, I have decided to leave Manchester City after the end of this season. Thank you to the top management of Manchester City for supporting me these days. Thank you for your support and care, and thank you to the players for their support and cooperation, and thank you to the fans for their tolerance. I'm sorry, I didn't satisfy everyone. It's a long way to go, we'll see you next time!"

Hiss, the media reporters at the scene were all shocked.

None of them expected that Pellegrini would directly mention his resignation at the post-match press conference. Although it is said that he will resign after the end of this season, this will still have a great impact on them.

Of course, many media reporters expressed doubts.

Are you real this time?

Resignation or fake resignation?

After all, you even sent a farewell message once you were injured, but in the end you chose to stay. What about this time? Will it be the same as last time?

But many people know that this time it should be true.

Because the top management of the Manchester City team will definitely not tolerate a fruitless season. This is not in line with their expectations for Manchester City. After all, they have invested so much.

Therefore, a coaching change is imperative!

At this time, Pellegrini took the initiative to stand up and say this. This is good news for the Manchester City team, and everyone can get together and relax.

Pellegrini also said, "The Premier League is becoming more and more intense now, the gap between the teams is getting smaller and smaller, and this game is becoming more and more difficult to play. If you want to win the league championship in the Premier League , this is still very difficult! But David from China has done it continuously. He is really excellent and I admire him very much!"

The media reporters nodded one after another. This guy Tong Yi really has two skills.

Otherwise, how could he lead the newly promoted Crystal Palace to the league championship?

And this season, if nothing unexpected happens, Crystal Palace should be able to defend the Premier League championship.

Tong Yi, a Chinese, is really awesome.

Pellegrini also said, "To be honest, between Crystal Palace and Chelsea, I am actually more optimistic about Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace is more stable than Chelsea, and the physical fitness and tactical literacy of Crystal Palace people are also higher than Chelsea." Chelsea side, I think the Premier League title this season belongs to Crystal Palace.”

Tong Yi frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Pellegrini, can you stop breastfeeding?"

Now Crystal Palace is indeed ahead of Chelsea, but not by much.

And Tong Yi can now feel the pressure from Chelsea behind them. Chelsea this season is really not something they can't cover. They Crystal Palace cannot make any mistakes, otherwise, if they are not careful, they will be surpassed by Chelsea.

So far, Crystal Palace is still fighting on three fronts, which adds a lot of variables to the game.

Yes, Crystal Palace still has Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League games to play. No game can be given up easily. This will definitely affect each other.

Therefore, in the next game, Crystal Palace may not necessarily be very safe.

Tong Yi said to the media reporters, "To be honest, we were more lucky to be able to win this game. Manchester City took the absolute initiative in this game. If the Manchester City people hadn't given the opportunity, , it is unlikely that we can reverse the game.

"

This is not a compliment from Tong Yi to Manchester City and Pellegrini, this is true.

Tong Yi said, "If Manchester City chooses to defend at the last moment instead of taking the opportunity to counterattack, it will be difficult for us to win a game in Zhejiang. And when we get the first goal back, If Manchester City is thinking about solid defense instead of continuing to attack and expand the lead, we will not equalize the score so easily. Therefore, in this game, Manchester City actually gave us the opportunity. Otherwise , it is impossible for us to reverse it.”

This is the truth!

This is what Pellegrini regrets.

At the end of the game, Pellegrini actually realized his mistake. However, there was no way, he was still a little late.

To be honest, Pellegrini still regrets it.

Tong Yi also said, "Actually, Mr. Pellegrini's Manchester City team is still very strong, but they are still immature, so there will still be problems and decision-making mistakes in the game. Overall, Manchester City is still People want to win the game too much and compete for the Premier League championship. As a result, their mentality is slightly unbalanced and impatient, so they lost this game!"

Really, this game actually scared Tong Yi. He thought Zhejiang was going to lose the game.

But later he saw the problems of the Manchester City people, and then they seized the opportunity and barely reversed the Manchester City team. If they don't win this game, they will be caught up by Chelsea.

Now they are only three points ahead of Chelsea. If they lose a game, the advantage will be gone.

Therefore, it is still very critical and tense for Crystal Palace at the moment.

Tong Yi also said, "There are only the last seven or eight rounds of the league. To be honest, this is the most critical moment. I also know that this is also a huge test for our Crystal Palace. We don't know whether our Crystal Palace can We will keep winning like this. But I can promise the fans of Crystal Palace that we at Crystal Palace will try our best in every next game.”

Yes, that's what Tong Yi thinks.

A week later, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Sunderland. Sunderland is ranked last and is not very strong. But Tong Yi still attaches great importance to it, because no mistakes can be made in any game.

At the same time, Chelsea will also go to an away game to challenge newly promoted Queens Park Rangers.

Queens Park Rangers are not strong either, and it will be difficult for them to resist Chelsea. Therefore, this reminds the Crystal Palace people that they must win the next game against Sunderland, otherwise, their top position in the league will not be maintained.
