574: Is Hughes going to be dismissed by Tong Yi?

Crystal Palace fans are still very optimistic about this game. He doesn't think Stoke City can beat their Crystal Palace, not Stoke City!

In the past few seasons, Stoke City's results were pretty good, and they were considered a team in the middle or even the upper middle of the Premier League.

However, Stoke City's performance this season has been very poor and has declined sharply.

At the beginning of this season, Mark Hughes introduced three central defenders to strengthen the defense. Who knew that Stoke City's defense had a huge problem this season. So far, they have conceded 24 goals in 12 rounds, averaging two goals per game, ranking second in the goal-conceding list, second only to West Ham United, which conceded 28 goals.

Therefore, Stoke City's defense reorganization was unsuccessful.

Of course, it also has something to do with their team's injuries. After the players' injuries recovered, didn't Stoke City's results improve slightly? Recently they have one win and two draws!

However, to be honest, Stoke City is like this. Everyone really doesn't think they can beat Crystal Palace.

And Stoke City's head coach Hughes also said this in an interview before the game, "Our goal for Stoke City in this game is to get a point. I think it is impossible to defeat Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace is too strong."

Hearing what Hughes said, outside media reporters and fans did not think Hughes was a coward.

They all thought Hughes was pragmatic.

It is indeed unrealistic for Stoke City to defeat Crystal Palace, but there is still hope for a draw.

However, many media reporters also expressed concerns about Stoke City's defense.

Can a defense like yours stop the onslaught of Crystal Palace forwards?

Very suspenseful!

Because the main players of Crystal Palace in the UEFA Champions League midweek did not participate. Their physical condition is very good. Can Stoke City withstand this game?

Stoke City fans themselves have little confidence.

The fans of Manchester City and Chelsea are cheering for the Stoke City people, hoping that they can perform a miracle and defeat Crystal Palace.

But seriously, it's almost impossible.

Before the game, Tong Yi also accepted interviews with media reporters. He said, "Of course, our Crystal Palace has only one goal in this game, and that is to win this game. Every game in the league is important to us." We at Crystal Palace are very important, we have only one goal and that is victory!"

Have you seen the goals and determination of the Crystal Palace people? Do you think the Stoke City people have a chance?

Guardiola was also asked this question when interviewed by media reporters.

He shook his head slightly and said, "Stoke City should have no chance in this game. Crystal Palace is really too strong. There is no way!"

It's true, the gap between the two teams is really too big.

\u003e If it was Stoke City last season, there might be a chance, but this season Stoke City has no chance at all. It is unrealistic for Manchester City to narrow the gap with Crystal Palace in this round, but Guardiola has not lost confidence.

At this time, what the Manchester City team has to do is not to show up at any time, win all the victories, and continue to create pressure on the Crystal Palace in front of them!

Therefore, Manchester City must win this game!

This game for Manchester City is also relatively easy. Their opponent is newly promoted Huddersfield, which should be relatively easy to defeat. Guardiola is full of confidence.

Regarding Guardiola's statement, Tong Yi nodded slightly. Guardiola was right.

In this game, Stoke City has no chance!

Because this game is a home game for Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace occupies the right place at the right time. What can Stoke City do to compete with our Crystal Palace?

Crystal Palace must win this game.

On the day of the game, Tongyi Stadium was packed.

Crystal Palace is also playing with all its main players, although the next week will also be a double match.

Yes, Crystal Palace will still have a double match next week. However, midweek is still the Premier League, and they will face newly promoted Brighton away from home. Yes, it is Brighton led by Tong Yi's disciple Vieri. Another master-disciple battle in the Premier League is about to begin!

And this game is more interesting than the game between Crystal Palace and Everton.

Brighton is the historical enemy of Crystal Palace, and the grudge between them is much deeper than the grudge between Everton.

This is the 23rd Road Derby!

In a game between these two teams, Brighton threw bird droppings and other dirt into the visiting team's dressing room. There was a sworn hatred between the two teams!

The media reporters have already begun to warm up for this game.

Brighton fans are full of endless expectations for this game, and they are just waiting for revenge.

Of course Crystal Palace fans are also looking forward to it.

However, this game will not be played until the middle of next week, so there will still be some time.

Crystal Palace will face West Bromwich Albion next weekend.

So there is no need for Crystal Palace to stay in this game. In this game against Stoke City, Crystal Palace played with all the main players. After all, these main players all want to play football, at least Ronaldo is. Think so.

In this game, Crystal Palace obviously went all out for this and that.

Victory is what the Crystal Palace people pursue.

As for Stoke City, look at it

It seems to be a three-centre-back system, but it assumes a defensive posture from the beginning, and the three-backs become five-backs. They came here to get a draw today, and they would be satisfied if they could get just one point.

Media reporters also felt that the Stoke City people had a clear goal and did a good job.

However, to be honest, they don't know whether Stoke City can get a draw. After all, Crystal Palace's offensive strength is too strong, and few teams can withstand it.

The same is true for this game. Crystal Palace launched a fierce attack from the beginning, and Stoke City fell into a passive position instantly.

Fortunately, they had many people on the defensive line, so they were able to defend for the time being.

However, Crystal Palace's offense was getting higher and higher, and the Stoke City people's confidence was about to be shattered. ??

The Crystal Palace people's attacks were really too ferocious.

Hughes on the sidelines couldn't stand it. It was too cruel. The Crystal Palace people were really too cruel. Especially Cristiano Ronaldo in the Crystal Palace formation. This guy is like a chicken blood, and the Stoke City players can't hold him back.

Danger, Stoke City is in danger.

The media reporters in the stands all saw that Stoke City might not be able to handle it.

Crystal Palace's attack was really too fierce, especially Ronaldo. This guy seemed to have an almost obsessive pursuit of scoring goals. He was fully committed and overwhelmed Stoke City's defensive players. .

Hughes kept yelling on the sidelines and yelling at the defense to no avail.

At this time, the Crystal Palace midfielder continued to advance with the ball. After De Bruyne and Casemiro played a one-two, De Bruyne suddenly made a pass and accurately sent the football to Ronaldo. feet. c. Ronaldo's left foot stopped and passed directly past the opponent's center back Shawcross, and went to the meeting alone.

Shawcross' turn and speed were too slow, and he was easily blown away by Ronaldo.

Stoke City people were instantly desperate.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Lee Grant, Ronaldo pushed the ball with ease. The football quickly rolled between Grant's legs and then quickly rolled into Stoke City's goal.

To be honest, the media reporters at the scene were speechless!

Twenty minutes later, Stoke City's defense was like paper in front of the Crystal Palace people, and it was broken down so easily.

They all felt that Stoke City's game was completely over.

Hughes on the sidelines was helpless. Crystal Palace was indeed too strong. There was really no way they could intercept Crystal Palace's attack.

Looking at his own central defender combination, he sighed again, how can he compete with Crystal Palace?

Next, Crystal Palace's offense was still very fierce, while Stoke City was just tired of running.

Because of his fate, he almost missed the goal several times. In this game, Stoke City people are really lucky, otherwise by this time, their goal would have been beaten into a sieve.

In this game, Ronaldo was in very good condition. He was a bug in the frontcourt and the Stoke City people couldn't guard against it. If Ronaldo hadn't hit the goalpost twice in just five minutes, Stoke City would have been completely defeated at this time.

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were very happy and excited.

This game is not difficult at all for Crystal Palace. Stoke City is considered a relatively weak team they have encountered. It seems that Stoke City is indeed very poor this season. No wonder there are many rumors about Hughes' dismissal.

Given the current state of Stoke City, Hughes should indeed be dismissed.

Stoke City people can't see any hope at all.

It has been 4 years since I took charge of Stoke City. The results of the first three seasons were very good. However, this season has indeed exceeded many people's expectations. The team's defense this season is really bad. Of course, injuries are also a big reason, but these are not the reasons why Hughes lost.

Stoke City fans can't stand it anymore and can't wait any longer.

There are current rumors claiming that if Stoke City's results in the next four rounds are still very bad, Hughes is likely to be dismissed from get out of class.

This game is not in everyone's consideration. After all, the strength gap between Stoke City and Crystal Palace is too big.

Before the end of the first half, Cancelo from the wing sent a precise cross directly. Ronaldo in the middle jumped high, overpowered Shawcross, and succeeded with a header, helping the team change the score to 2-0.

Not long after the start of the second half, after Casemiro broke through with the ball, he suddenly made a long overhead pass and directly found Ronaldo who was advancing forward. The Portuguese once again completely defeated Shawcross, who turned very slowly, and went directly to the meeting alone, and then faced Grant attacked and easily pushed the shot into the far corner.

c. Ronaldo easily scored a hat trick and was then replaced.

And Crystal Palace's goals are not over yet, they are still going on.

In the 27th minute of the second half, after a wonderful cooperation from the wing of Crystal Palace, Carvajal made a direct pass. Giroud headed the ball in the penalty area, and Salah, who came in behind, volleyed the ball without waiting for the ball to land. Slammed hard into Stoke City's goal, 4-0!

The people of Stoke City were completely desperate at this time.

The Crystal Palace goal was not over yet. In the 88th minute of the second half, Llorente, who came on as a substitute, received Giroud's header at the front of the penalty area and then violently volleyed the ball away. Into the Stoke City goal.

Crystal Palace easily defeated Stoke City at home 5-0.
