439: The last chance to win the half-distance championship
December 26, 2015, Dean Court Stadium, Bournemouth, England.
Today Crystal Palace welcomes their club’s Christmas game here, and their opponent is Bournemouth!
To be honest, Bournemouth is not very strong, but they played very tenaciously.
What Tong Yi didn't expect was that his worries were correct.
In this game, the players of Crystal Palace were obviously out of shape and their performance was not as good as before. They were two completely different teams from the Crystal Palace team that played in the previous round. This performance was really terrible.
Seeing this, Tong Yi's eyes darkened!
These guys have completely forgotten what I said a few days ago!
Now Tong Yi finally understands why those wealthy families don't like this bullshit Christmas game so much. This is simply a nightmare for strong teams, especially a nightmare for wealthy families.
Sure enough, people with money tend to be more playful.
These guys really have a blast at Christmas!
I haven't given up yet.
Tong Yi was really worried, but not only did they fail to seize the opportunity to surpass Leicester City, but they were even widened by Leicester City.
If that's the case, it's really unlucky.
Tong Yi was very angry and very dissatisfied on the sidelines.
What kind of stuff are these Crystal Palace players playing?
If it were possible to replace five players in one breath like later generations, Tong Yi would directly replace five players without blinking an eye. This performance is really terrible.
Tong Yi was really speechless!
It seems that this game is really going to end for Crystal Palace!
Tong Yi asked Vieri and Yuan Zhen around him about the game situation on another venue?
Yes, Tong Yi wants to find out what happened to Leicester City at Anfield?
This round of games between Crystal Palace and Leicester City are all played at the same time.
So, now Leicester City is also fighting with Liverpool!
Soon, Yuan Zhen got the news.
He came to Tong Yi and said, "Master, good news! Leicester City is now trailing Liverpool 0-2 in the away game!"
Tong Yi's eyes lit up!
This is really good news.
It seems that the current situation of Crystal Palace is still better than that of Leicester City. Although Crystal Palace performed very poorly in this game, the score is still zero to zero. At least Crystal Palace is not behind.
Looking at it this way, even if Crystal Palace does not win this game and only gets a draw, they can reverse Leicester City and reach the top of the Premier League.
If both games end according to the current situation, then Crystal Palace will have the same points as Leicester City after the game, and then Crystal Palace will be ahead of Leicester City in terms of goal difference, so Crystal Palace will be ranked Top of the league.
\u003c
br\u003e Therefore, Tong Yi can barely accept the results of the current two games.
Tong Yi immediately came to the sidelines to remind the Crystal Palace players and signal them to hold on!
As long as they don't lose in this game, they can be considered a success.
At the end of the half, the game between Crystal Palace and Bournemouth was still tied at zero to zero, and Tong Yi could barely accept it. News came from another venue that the first half of the game between Leicester City and Liverpool was also over. The score was zero to three, and Leicester City fell behind.
After learning the news, Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace players breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were very excited.
It seems that after this round of games, Crystal Palace really hopes to reach the top of the Premier League!
During the halftime break, Tong Yi gave the Crystal Palace players some blood. They hoped that the Crystal Palace players could cheer up and win the game. In this case, they would not only be able to overtake Leicester City. , reached the top of the Premier League, and was able to widen the point difference.
This is particularly important for Crystal Palace.
Therefore, Tong Yi reminded the Crystal Palace players to play well in the second half, work hard, and strive to win this game.
The Crystal Palace players nodded one after another, saying that they would work hard to win the second half of the game.
Tong Yi was still very satisfied with this and kept nodding. In this round of games, they really have a very good chance of counterattacking Leicester City.
Tong Yi is full of expectations!
After the second half started, Leicester City suddenly stood up.
Less than five minutes into the second half, Leicester City had already scored, and it was Vardy who scored!
This amused the Crystal Palace fans to death!
What are Leicester City doing? Is this a counterattack?
To be honest, Tong Yi on the sidelines was also a little worried.
Ten minutes later, another news came from Anfield. Mahrez scored. Leicester City changed the score to 2 to 3, getting closer and closer to equalizing the score!
Tong Yi's eyes widened in disbelief!
Do the Liverpool people really have the buff to lead by three goals at halftime and be about to overtake?
Liverpudlians, why are you so dissatisfied? Can you give me a good try? Can't you just win Leicester City for me?
Tong Yi really felt very nervous. In this game, the Leicester City people couldn't come back again!
Because Tong Yi discovered that it was really difficult for Crystal Palace to win this game. The Crystal Palace players still haven't found their form, which makes Tong Yi very speechless.
This game is very uncertain for Crystal Palace, and it is still the same situation even with substitutions.
Now Tong Yi no longer has any hope of winning this game, but he still hopes that their players can at least maintain this draw.
Unexpectedly, in the 33rd minute of the second half, Crystal Palace lost the ball.
Glenn Murray, who once played for Crystal Palace, stabbed Crystal Palace in the back at the most critical moment. His goal killed Tong Yi's hope!
Tong Yi was extremely bitter about this!
He didn't expect that he would be pecked by geese and be blinded today after hunting geese all day long.
He slaps others in the face all day long, but he never thought that he would be slapped in the face today too!
He was not optimistic about Murray at first, and then sent Murray away. What now? At this most critical moment, Murray personally sent Tong Yi and Crystal Palace away, causing them to lose their best chance to overtake Leicester City! It also cost Crystal Palace the chance to top the Premier League table.
Crystal Palace fans are all feeling very sad!
Tong Yi stared at Murray running around the court. He didn't know what to say. Only a wry smile!
To be honest, Murray's opportunity was really not good. Unfortunately, the Crystal Palace players were not in good condition, so Murray scored the goal.
Seeing this, Tong Yi shook his head helplessly. Sooner or later, he would have to pay back the money if he came out to work. Sure enough!
In the end, Crystal Palace lost 1-0 to Bournemouth in an away game, and also lost this great opportunity to overtake Leicester City.
such a pity!
After the game, the media reporters and fans felt sorry for Crystal Palace!
And what a pity!
Because one minute after this game ended, another game also ended. Leicester City lost 3-4 to Liverpool at Anfield and they did not score any points in this round.
If Crystal Palace can beat or draw with Bournemouth in this game, Crystal Palace can overtake Leicester City and reach the top of the Premier League.
Who knew that in such a crucial game, Crystal Palace actually lost.
This is a missed opportunity!
The media reporters really feel sorry for Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace team. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
After the game, after learning the news, the Crystal Palace players regretted it to death. If they had known better in this game, they might have been able to defeat Bournemouth and win the second half.
To be honest, Bournemouth's strength is really not that good.
The Crystal Palace players felt that if they were in a little better shape, they would be able to win this game.
What a pity, I missed this God-given opportunity!
At the post-match press conference, Tong Yi
He said, "We did not seize this excellent opportunity to overtake Leicester City. This is not due to luck, but because our Crystal Palace is not strong enough! If we are strong enough, we will definitely not lose this game. Yes! So, take your time, strengthening our strength is the key, we Crystal Palace must go all out in the following games!"
Tong Yi did not attribute the missed opportunity to luck, he thought it was due to lack of strength!
Tong Yi used this to remind the young players of Crystal Palace not to be too arrogant. They have not yet dominated the Premier League.
Crystal Palace must go all out to take the next game seriously.
The Crystal Palace players also understood what Tong Yi said, and they all made up their minds to play the next games seriously and strive to seize the opportunities they should seize!
It is really a pity not to defeat the weak Bournemouth in this game.
But Tong Yi didn't get too entangled because they still had room for error. After all, there were still 20 rounds of games ahead.
This season, their only goal for Crystal Palace is Gu Jun in the league.
They will definitely go to pieces for this goal!
Moreover, Tong Yi also discovered that it was not just their Crystal Palace team that failed to perform well in this round.
Can Leicester City lose an away game?
Manchester United lost 0-2 away to Stoke City in this game, while Arsenal also lost 0-4 away to Southampton. Only Manchester City performed well, beating Sunderland 4-1 at home.
Therefore, this Christmas war is really a hotbed of upsets. There are really a lot of upsets in this round~
But Tong Yi really didn't care about this round of games because his mind had already flown to the last round of the Premier League this season.
In the last round of the 2015-2016 Premier League working season, Crystal Palace faced Swansea at home!
In this round of the game, Crystal Palace also had the opportunity to complete a counterattack and finally win the half-way championship.
Because in this round of competition, Leicester City's opponent is still a tough opponent. In these 19 rounds, Leicester City will face Manchester City at their home court, who just defeated Sunderland 4-1.
Manchester City is in good form, and Leicester City may not be able to defeat Manchester City even at home. This is the opportunity for Crystal Palace, and it is also the last chance to win the half-way championship of the league!
The strength of Crystal Palace's opponent Swansea is really not strong. Now they are only ranked 16th in the Premier League, only 1 point ahead of the bottom three in the relegation zone. This strength is really far different from Crystal Palace. As long as the Crystal Palace people themselves don't have problems in this round of games, they have a great chance of winning and overturning Leicester City to win the Premier League half-time championship. big.
Let's see next, if Crystal Palace can defeat Swansea, can Leicester City overcome the obstacle of Manchester City?
