397: Home match against the in-form Hammers

On October 17, 2015, Selhurst Park Stadium, South London, England, the weather was cloudy and the temperature was 14C.

Today's weather is not particularly good.

Especially since this game was played in the evening, the temperature was already starting to cool down.

It was actually a bit foggy here in London, and it was worthy of its name as the Fog City.

The weather is a bit cold.

However, this did not stop the passion of the Crystal Palace fans. They still came to the scene to support their home team Crystal Palace and cheer for their team! Because today, their team is going to crush the arrogant Bilic here!

Crystal Palace fans are looking forward to it.

Another reason is that the Premier League has also experienced a short offseason.

The international match day came after the last round of games, and the Premier League was suspended for half a month. Now that the Premier League is back, the Crystal Palace fans are naturally eager to rush into the stadium to help the team cheer.

During this international match day, Ignacio performed very well.

During this international match day, the England and England national team ushered in two preliminaries for the 2016 European Cup. They first defeated Estonia 4-0 at home, and then defeated Lithuania 5-0 away. In these two games, Crystal Palace’s Ignacio replaced Harry Kane in the starting position and scored 5 goals in two games, which made the English fans very happy!

Sure enough, Ignacio has exploded this season!

This also makes more fans and media reporters feel that Ignacio is more suitable than Kane to serve as the main center of the England national team.

This performance also made Tong Yi very satisfied.

Naturally, it makes Crystal Palace fans even more satisfied.

Of course, some media reporters said that before these two games, the England national team had already secured first place in the group and directly advanced to the main stage of the 2016 European Cup. The results of these two games have no impact at all. They are unimportant games. England's intention of starting Ignacio at this time is not to replace Kane at all, but to let Ignacio find his form.

In their view, Kane should still be the main center forward of the England national team.

These two groups are really at odds with each other and are already at each other's throats.

Ignacio and Kane seem to have a good relationship. The two have been photographed talking and laughing many times by media reporters. This really left many people speechless. The fans of these two people were already fighting to death, and they were sworn in. How could these two people be so close and joking?

Will the fans of these two people be blinded when they see these reports, and they will also shout, "I want to fight to the death, why did your majesty surrender first?"

To be honest, Tong Yi also felt that the reaction of these fans was a bit excessive.

They need a more relaxed environment for these two people, which is most beneficial to their growth and competition.

However, these fans have obviously taken it.

I can't stop it.

Tong Yi didn't pay attention to these things anymore. He just reminded Ignacio not to care about what these people said, just play his own ball well and show his ability to achieve better results. When the time comes, England's head coach You will naturally make the right choice.

It's really useless for these fans to fight each other!

Ignacio also nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Of course, at this time, Crystal Palace fans are also a little worried!

After all, during this international match day, Ignacio really didn't rest for a minute. He was either playing the game or on the way to the game. Ignacio must be very tired now. Ignacio shouldn't start this game, right?

Yes, Kane did not play a minute on this international break, while Ignacio played all the games and was tired from long distances.

To be honest, Tong Yi felt a little distressed when Ignacio flew back.

When you use our center like this, aren't you afraid of injuring him?

Before this game, Delvetri predicted that Ignacio would not be in the starting lineup for this game. This is one of the reasons why he thinks Crystal Palace must lose!

Your Crystal Palace has been poisoned by the FIFA virus, but West Ham United has not. The performance of West Ham United in this game will definitely be better than that of your Crystal Palace.

West Ham United must win this game!

Before the game, Bilic said in front of the media reporters, "Now our West Ham United are in very good condition. My players have adjusted their condition to the best. For this game, I think our West Ham United are in very good condition." Manchester United will definitely win, I have this confidence!"

In his opinion, Crystal Palace must be suffering from the FIFA virus!

Because he used to be the absolute main force of the Croatian national team, and he also had the experience of being poisoned by the FIFA virus. He is very aware of the current situation of Crystal Palace. In this game, their West Ham United chances of winning are very high!

Yes, Bilic has analyzed it in detail and in many aspects.

He is not the kind of person who is arrogant for no reason. To be honest, he is very cautious, but he acts a little arrogant. He did not underestimate the Crystal Palace. He had studied the situation of the Crystal Palace in detail. He believes that West Ham United have a very good chance of winning this game, which is why he is so confident and dares to say such things.

He is not a fool than Bilic!

If he was a fool, he would not have become the head coach of the Croatian national team at such a young age and achieved good results in leading the team. It is impossible for him to accept that after West Ham United, he defeated so many strong opponents and achieved such good results.

When he said they could win, he naturally had a certain degree of confidence and basis.

Of course, Tong Yi

There is no underestimate Bilic here!

There is really something about Bilic, and his coaching style is really wild and passionate. His infectious energy is very strong, and he can infect the players on the sidelines, bursting out with super impact and a temperament that refuses to admit defeat or give up.

To be honest, such an opponent is difficult to deal with.

This game is indeed a difficult game for Crystal Palace.

This guy Delvistri was actually right.

It is really possible for Crystal Palace to lose this game, because West Ham United is indeed capable.

Tong Yi also has some impressions of West Ham United this season, because they have some talented players, such as Moses, Payet and others. And West Ham United's results this season are also very good. Not only did they reach the quarter-finals in the FA Cup, they even almost defeated Manchester United to advance to the semi-finals, and they also finished seventh in the Premier League. name and qualified for the Europa League next season.

Therefore, this team really cannot be underestimated.

Tong Yi is very serious.

Moreover, in the locker room before the game, Tong Yi reminded his players that they must be careful about this opponent, treat the team seriously, and devote themselves to it. They will never lose to their opponent in this game.

The Crystal Palace players are very active and serious at this time.

They will definitely go all out in this game.

Today, the starting lineups of both sides are as follows

This is the starting lineup of both sides today, but it is obvious that the changes in Crystal Palace are indeed very big. Sure enough, as Bilic said before the game, many of Crystal Palace's main players in this game were poisoned by the FIFA virus, so that they were not able to start the game, but sat on the bench. .

Did you see that Ignacio, who performed very well in the England national team, did not appear in the starting list today and sat directly on the bench.

And Salah didn't even make the squad, sitting directly in the stands.

Seeing this, Bilic smiled slightly. He felt that this

In the game, their West Ham United team has a very good chance of winning.

When Delvestri in the press box saw the Crystal Palace lineup, he also felt that West Ham United was safe in this game and West Ham United would win!

Of course, the Crystal Palace fans in the stands instantly lost three points in momentum when they saw the starting lineup.

Crystal Palace's starting lineup is really half main force and half substitute. This is very different from before. Crystal Palace fans lack confidence when they see this lineup.

However, the Crystal Palace fans cheered the Crystal Palace players even louder. They are lads who believe in their team, and even if we don’t have a full squad, we at Crystal Palace can easily beat you, West Ham United.

Crystal Palace, come on!

Tong Yi stood on the sidelines looking relatively relaxed, as if he wasn't worried at all.

When Delvistri saw Tong Yi's expression, he sneered slightly, "Tong Yi, just pretend." After this game is over, how will you pretend to be? In this game, your Crystal Palace will lose!

beep!

At this moment, the referee of this game immediately blew the whistle to start the game.

The first to kick off was the visiting team West Ham United. West Ham United seemed to know that Crystal Palace would press high as soon as they came up, so they increased the intensity of their offense. As soon as the game started, the entire team pressed into Crystal Palace's half, seemingly trying to compete with Crystal Palace.

hiss!

Many media reporters at the scene took a breath. This Bilic is really bold!

Tong Yi didn't have too many surprises. He had expected West Ham United's style of play. This Bilic is so crazy. He also watched the video of the previous game between West Ham United and Liverpool and Arsenal. Sometimes West Ham United crazily suppressed these two teams, not just by defense. Counterattack wins. They relied on defensive counterattacks to win against Manchester City, but they did not win against these two teams!

Therefore, Tong Yi knew that Bilic would definitely attack from the beginning of this game.

As expected!

But at this time, West Ham United's offense performed very well. In particular, the cooperation between the frontcourt and midfield trio of Payet, Lanzini and Moses is really exquisite. Even Crystal Palace's high-intensity pressure failed to steal the ball, and Kanter made a rare save.

At this moment, Payet suddenly threw the ball with great force and spread it five or six meters.

With a bang, the changed direction directly hit Rudiger who rushed up, and then fell to the ground hard.

The referee did not hesitate and blew the foul whistle directly.

The referee warned Rudiger that he had not played a card, but gave the West Ham man a direct free kick in a very good position. This is very dangerous, because West Ham United's Payet is good at calling and has free kick skills.

Crystal Palace fans are very nervous and worried.

Crystal Palace is in danger!
