267: Both teams have their own problems.
At this time, the outside media believed that Crystal Palace would lose the top spot in the Premier League this weekend.
Although Manchester City's results this season are not very good, their strength is still very strong.
In the middle of the week, Crystal Palace had just fought against Real Madrid. How could they beat Manchester City?
In this game, Manchester City, who are waiting for work, will win!
At this time, Manchester City's head coach Guardiola also said, "We are very well prepared for this game. Our Manchester City team now has no interference from other games and is fully devoted to the preparations for this game. We are in very good shape now, very hot, and we are confident that we can win this game.”
This is not because Guardiola is trying to boost morale, it is all true.
This is also the reason why media reporters are optimistic about Manchester City.
Even Manchester City player Goretzka was interviewed by media reporters.
Goretzka once played for Crystal Palace and was also a top player under Tong Yi. If De Bruyne had not been suppressing Crystal Palace, Goretzka would not have left Crystal Palace and is still playing for Crystal Palace now.
Goretzka should be the person who knows Crystal Palace best in the Manchester City team.
Goretzka said, "This Crystal Palace team actually didn't change that much when I was here. Their personnel and tactics have not changed much, and the overall framework is still there. First of all, their strength is indeed Very strong, and their coach is also very good. This is a very strong team, and they have the ability to defeat any team. But their current state is not very good, and their physical energy consumption is too high. It should be impossible for them to win a game, and I have great confidence in our Manchester City team."
Goretzka really knows Crystal Palace very well. He saw that in the second half of the game against Real Madrid, the Crystal Palace players had physical problems. This is a problem that rarely occurs for Crystal Palace. Their strength has always been physical. This shows how powerful Real Madrid is and how tired the Crystal Palace people are.
Therefore, he believes that Crystal Palace cannot be their opponent against Manchester City in this game.
Manchester City must win this game!
Then, Otamendi of Manchester City also accepted interviews from media reporters. He was once Tong Yi's favorite player. He was almost taken to the Crystal Palace by Tong Yi. Unfortunately, he was later sold to Munich 1860. After losing the Manchester City team, the fate of the two ended.
Otamendi said, "To be honest, if Ibrahimovic is still there, our Manchester City team does have the possibility of losing. But Ibrahimovic has been seriously injured for the season. Crystal Palace's There is no player who can threaten our Manchester City goal, so our Manchester City team must win this game!"
Yes, Otamendi didn't take Jimenez and Ignacio seriously at all.
He really looked down on these two.
In fact, these two performed well in the midweek match against Real Madrid, and both played very actively. It's a pity that Crystal Palace was suppressed by Real Madrid, and Real Madrid
Delhi is also very strong and they don't get many chances. But you can't say that these two people are not good, they are still very capable.
Moreover, these two are currently fighting. They are both holding back their energy and want to show excellent performance to seize the main position. You cannot underestimate these two at this time.
If you underestimate them, you, Otamendi, will suffer.
It can be seen from this that the Manchester City team has high morale and confidence. This may be the reason why media reporters are more optimistic about Manchester City. They all feel that Manchester City will win this game.
Especially Chelsea fans, they are eager for Manchester City to win.
Because there are not many opportunities left for Chelsea. They only have three rounds of opportunities!
If they cannot surpass Crystal Palace in these three rounds, they will not be able to win the Premier League championship this season. Wouldn't their efforts this season be in vain?
At this time, Chelsea people were very anxious.
Chelsea people have pinned their hopes on Manchester City people. Manchester City people can kill Crystal Palace.
Of course, at this time, Crystal Palace fans were also very nervous.
Chelsea behind them is indeed chasing too closely, and in the following games, Crystal Palace will also face the Manchester duo and Liverpool. Every game is a life and death battle. Can they not be anxious?
You can’t lose any of these games!
If they lose, they are likely to lose the Premier League championship this season, which they cannot accept.
This season, Crystal Palace must win the championship!
Crystal Palace must defend their title!
The theme of this season is to defend the title, defend the Premier League, and defend the UEFA Champions League title!
Our Crystal Palace wants to ascend to the highest historical stage!
However, the situation is indeed very tense and bad now.
Crystal Palace is facing many problems now. It did consume too much in the match against Real Madrid in midweek, and the fans saw it. Now they have to fight against Manchester City again, which is really too difficult for them Crystal Palace. What's more important is that in the middle of next week, their Crystal Palace will have to fight Real Madrid.
This is one thing after another... It seems that Crystal Palace's chances are really slim.
Therefore, at this time, Crystal Palace fans hope that the legendary godfather Tong Yi of Crystal Palace and the Crystal Palace players can give them some confidence and let them continue to believe in a bright future!
At this time, Tong Yi appeared in front of media reporters again.
This is a routine press conference before the game. If it weren't for this, Tong Yi wouldn't be too lazy to come out for an interview.
Facing media reporters, Tong Yi said: "At present,
Our Crystal Palace team is still in very good condition. Although we have encountered some troubles, it is not enough to stop our Crystal Palace from moving forward. Manchester City is very strong, but it’s not like we haven’t beaten them. Even against Manchester City, we still had an absolute advantage. Therefore, our Crystal Palace has a high probability of winning this game. My players and I are confident! "
The Crystal Palace fans were relieved to hear this. They still believed in Tong Yi. The legendary godfather said so. The Crystal Palace must win this game!
The confidence of the Crystal Palace fans suddenly increased. They felt that Manchester City was not good in this game!
Of course, this game is an away game, and there is no way for them all to go away to support Crystal Palace. But they will still support Crystal Palace in the pub and at home.
Crystal Palace must win!
Crystal Palace midfielder De Bruyne also accepted interviews with media reporters. He said, "Manchester City is indeed very strong. They are considered the top team in the Premier League. Especially after Guardiola came. , although the team has not yet been fully formed, but to be honest, they are still quite strong and are a strong opponent of our Crystal Palace."
The media reporters nodded one after another, this is the truth.
De Bruyne continued, "And our team does have problems now, but I don't think our team has no chance in this game. In fact, Manchester City also has many problems in the team. We faced them. It’s a half-match, it’s really hard to say who can win. At least, at this time, our Crystal Palace is very confident. Our Crystal Palace has a reason not to lose, so in this game, we think our Crystal Palace will win win."
De Bruyne's words make Crystal Palace fans more confident about this game.
Yes, we at Crystal Palace have some problems, but you, Manchester City, have no problems?
Your Manchester City team now has more problems than our Crystal Palace. Naturally, our Crystal Palace will win this game.
Long live Tong Yi!
Crystal Palace must win!
In this way, Tong Yi led the Crystal Palace players to Manchester and entered the Etihad Stadium!
On May 6, 2017, Crystal Palace officially welcomed its strong opponent Manchester City at the away Etihad Stadium. This is a game in the 36th round of the Premier League this season, a crucial game!
The 2016-2017 Premier League season has come to an end.
Now the competition between the teams has become fierce, and none of them want to fall behind at this time. Therefore, this game must be like a match where Mars hits the earth, and the attention is very high. Even the eyes of Chelsea people are focused on this game. They want to see Manchester City slaughter Crystal Palace and win.
Chelsea people support Manchester City unconditionally at this moment. At this moment, they are all Manchester City people!
"Dear spectators, fellow fans
, hello! I am Mortensen, and I am still here to explain this game for you today! "Of course BBC Sports will not miss such an important game. They are now sitting in the commentary box at the scene, experiencing this game up close.
However, the person sitting next to him today is not Shearer, but Gary Neville!
To be honest, Neville doesn't support either team in this game. He doesn't like either team. Today he is absolutely neutral, and he is not even willing to comment more on these two teams.
He said directly, "Okay, the players from both sides have already entered the stadium. The game is about to start. Now let's introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides today."
Today’s starting lineups for both sides are as follows:
Home team Manchester City, head coach Guardiola, formation 4141
Caballero
The back four from left to right: Clichy, Otamendi, Kompany and Fernandinho
Single midfielder Fernando
The four midfielders from left to right are Sterling, Silva, Goretzka and Sane.
Lone striker Jesus
Visiting team Crystal Palace, head coach Tong Yi, formation 4213
Alisson
The back four from left to right Theo, Upamecano, Van Dijk and Carvajal
Double defensive midfielder Witsel and Llorente
Single attacking midfielder De Bruyne
The front three from left to right Salah, Jimenez and Perisic
Seeing this, Mortensen was not surprised at all. Crystal Palace did not play with the full lineup, but made some sporadic adjustments. This is understandable. And the Manchester City team is not all the main players. As Tong Yi and De Bruyne said before the game, the Manchester City team also has problems.
Their striker Aguero accumulated yellow cards and was suspended today and missed this crucial game. This will have a very big impact on the direction of this game, and it may not necessarily lead to Manchester City losing.
Moreover, at the right back position, Fernandinho started today, which no one expected.
Although Fernandinho can also play this position, it is obviously more suitable for him to be in the midfielder position. Only in the defensive midfielder position can he exert his full strength. This puts him at right back, which is really overqualified and weakens him a bit.
Moreover, Sagna is sitting there on the bench of Manchester City!
The team obviously has a certified right back, why not play it? But let Fernandinho make a cameo? I wonder what Guardiola is thinking at this time?
Seeing this, Crystal Palace fans felt that Crystal Palace had a very good chance in this game and they should be able to win. After all, Manchester City has more problems than they imagined. It is impossible for Manchester City to defeat Crystal Palace in this game.
Crystal Palace must win this game!
