434: Crystal Palace move to second in the league table
At 2-0, Crystal Palace expanded its lead, and the Everton fans at the scene completely cheered.
The entire Goodison Park stadium was silent!
Everton fans were stunned!
They really didn't expect that the game they had been looking forward to for so long would be defeated so easily by their opponents. It was a bit hard to accept, and it was also very uncomfortable.
Looking at Lukaku in the stadium, Everton fans were even more silent.
Lukaku's performance in this game was actually remarkable.
But compared with Ignacio's highlight performance, it really wants to go too far.
Everton fans didn't know what to say. At this time, they all had to believe in Tong Yi's vision. It seems that the players Tong Yi discovered are all incompetent. They are really amazing.
At this time, they all understood why Tong Yi chose Ignacio between Lukaku and Ignacio. This young man is worth it.
At the same time, Everton fans also believe that Ignacio should become the main center of the England national team.
The young Ignacio is much better than Kane.
At this point in the game, Ignacio still didn't stop and continued to threaten Everton's defense.
To be honest, Everton's two central defenders were really confused by Ignacio.
Everton had to strengthen its defense against Ignacio, which resulted in openings in other positions.
De Bruyne penetrated Everton's defense with a through ball and sent the ball into the space.
Salah in the frontcourt faced the attacking goalkeeper Howard and easily succeeded in pushing the ball.
Three to zero!
Crystal Palace's goal has basically sealed the victory.
Everton fans were so sad that they were speechless. In this game, not only Lukaku was inferior to Ignacio, but Everton as a whole was inferior to Crystal Palace.
This is really unsaid.
Of course, even so, Everton did not give up.
The Evertonians were still attacking like crazy, but they didn't want to lose the game just like that.
Although there is not much time left in the game, Evertonians are still actively attacking and striving for goals. This is what makes Everton fans satisfied. Yes, even if they lose, they cannot lose their temperament.
No matter what situation we face, Evertonians will never give up!
Then, De Bruyne once again sent a through ball and penetrated Everton's defense. It's the same Salah, Salah moved forward to the same position, almost copying the previous goal!
Four to zero!
Everton fans were stunned!
The morale of Everton's players was also severely hit, and Lukaku rolled his eyes in anger.
However, there is no way, this is
It’s the difference in strength between the two teams!
The main reason is that Ignacio performed so well in this game. He contained too many defensive forces in Everton's penalty area, so that there were always gaps in Everton's penalty area. Moreover, Crystal Palace also has De Bruyne who is very good at finding gaps and can accurately deliver threatening balls.
That's why Everton's defense was so easily penetrated by Crystal Palace.
Everton fans are desperate!
However, the Evertonians still did not give up, they were still attacking fiercely. Evertonians never give up, even if they are beaten into a sieve!
Don't tell me, Evertonians' efforts have paid off!
At the end of the half, Everton's Cone was fouled by Casemiro at the edge of the Crystal Palace penalty area, helping Everton get a direct free kick opportunity with a good frontcourt position!
Barkley beat Lukaku and hit the ball with his kick. The ball drew a wonderful arc and flew into the Crystal Palace goal. Alisson's reaction in front of the goal was obviously a beat slower. He did not expect that the ball would be fired by Barkley. He thought it would be Lukaku who fired the ball!
In fact, Lukaku himself thinks so too!
Lukaku is ready to serve!
Unexpectedly, this guy Barkley stole the ball and took the lead. Lukaku was originally very angry, but when he saw the football flying into the goal, his anger was suppressed!
I’m unhappy, I’m unhappy anyway!
In this game, Lukaku was really suffocated.
Lukaku was very angry. After the game, he turned around and walked out of the stadium. Not to mention shaking hands with the Crystal Palace players, he even turned a deaf ear to the shouts of his teammates and coaching staff and rushed back to the locker room angrily!
In this game, Lukaku was really slapped in the face by Ignacio!
Before the game, Lukaku was so arrogant, but now his face hurts!
In this game, Lukaku's performance was actually quite good and remarkable. But compared to Ignacio, it's really a world of difference. Lukaku is too different!
In this game, Ignacio scored two goals, and also restrained Everton's defense, creating scoring opportunities for his teammates, helping Crystal Palace defeat Everton 4-1. .
Lukaku, on the other hand, made no contribution except creating a dangerous goal.
After this game, Lukaku will definitely be ridiculed and humiliated by countless media reporters again!
Thinking of this, Lukaku became even more angry!
Even Lukaku didn’t attend the post-match press conference or even talk to his teammates.
Let's go together and sneak away alone!
After the game, even Martinez didn't say a harsh word, he just said a few casual words and then left.
Obviously, the Crystal Palace game really stunned the Evertonians!
Everton fans also left the stadium early, and it can even be said that they left in despair.
Tong Yi was naturally very satisfied with the result. Even the result of this game was beyond his expectation, a little too relaxed.
Lukaku really caused some trouble for them when the game just started. But after intensifying the targeting of him later, Lukaku struggled very much, so his performance was not very ideal.
It also shows that Lukaku was not particularly well prepared for this game. Obviously, he underestimated the strength of their Crystal Palace, so that his performance was unsatisfactory.
Of course, Martinez's prediction for this game was also wrong.
Otherwise, when Lukaku was targeted, he didn't come up with any good ideas. He was as stunned as a wooden stake on the sidelines. This was beyond Tong Yi's expectations.
If the situation remains the same in subsequent Everton games, Tong Yi feels that Martinez will not stay at Everton for long.
Leave the Evertonians alone!
After Tong Yi returned to the locker room after the game, he praised Ignacio. Today, Ignacio really performed very well, worked very hard and was very active. And his condition is also very good. Tong Yi hopes that he can continue to maintain it.
After all, so far, whether it is the league or other competitions, Crystal Palace urgently needs stability.
Getting points steadily is the most important thing.
Tong Yi also reminded Ignacio not to pay too much attention to the praise of media reporters, and to maintain a normal mind, hoping not to affect the subsequent situation.
Yes, Tong Yi had already expected that there would be a wave of rainbow farts coming towards Ignacio after the game.
Tong Yi hoped that Ignacio, a young man, would not be so praised that he would become so excited. In that case, it would not be a good thing for Ignacio!
Ignacio nodded firmly and said, "Boss, don't worry, I won't float!"
The other Crystal Palace players burst out laughing when they heard this. This guy Ignacio is really interesting!
Tong Yi nodded with satisfaction!
Now their Crystal Palace is in very good shape and very stable. Tong Yi is full of confidence in the next game. Next is the day when their Crystal Palace will steadily score points and move towards the top of the Premier League.
After this round of games, Crystal Palace is one place away from the top of the Premier League.
The location is getting closer and closer.
After defeating Everton, Crystal Palace's record in these 15 rounds is 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, with 31 points!
This score currently ranks second in the Premier League!
Yes, now Crystal Palace has overtaken Arsenal and Manchester United, and even Manchester City, they have reached the second position in the Premier League. The dark horse Leicester City currently ranks first in the Premier League. Their record is 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, with 32 points.
To be honest, the current ranking is really beyond the expectations of many people.
Many people were dumbfounded. Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal all stretched their hips at this time. This was something they did not expect. It seems that the Premier League this season should be relatively chaotic. It is really hard to say who can win the Premier League championship.
Currently ranked third in the Premier League is Arsenal. Their record is 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, with 30 points.
Ranking fourth in the Premier League is Manchester City. Their record is 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, with 29 points.
Ranking fifth in the Premier League is Manchester United. Their record is 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, with 29 points.
It is really unexpected that the traditional top three are pulling their hips at the same time. However, the gap between them and Leicester City at the top of the league is not big. At most, it is only 3 points away. It can be done in one game. Reversal back.
Therefore, Leicester is not very stable at this time!
Of course, the pressure on Crystal Palace is also very high.
However, for now, Crystal Palace is in very good shape and very stable. Tong Yi feels that this is the best time for Crystal Palace to hit the top of the league. To score points steadily during this stable period will definitely put great pressure on Leicester City and other teams.
Tong Yi feels that Crystal Palace should be able to win the half-way championship of the Premier League this season.
Hope is great!
Then, Tong Yi stopped thinking about these things and just carried on step by step and won one game at a time!
Tong Yi gave the Crystal Palace players a day off, and then he and the coaching staff began to prepare for the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage against Wolfsburg next week.
This game is irrelevant to Crystal Palace, after all, Crystal Palace has already secured first place in the group. But Tong Yi will not underestimate his opponent. This game is equally important for Crystal Palace's substitute players and rotation players. Tong Yi naturally has to pay attention to this game.
Crystal Palace can give up this game, but Tong Yi is impossible to give up their Crystal Palace substitutes and rotation players. These substitute players and rotation players rely on these games to maintain their condition and show themselves. Tong Yi naturally cannot despise them. Tong Yi attaches equal importance to this game.
