820: FA Cup semi-final London derby
Leicester City has nearly 10 days to prepare for this game, but Crystal Palace does not have so much time. What they are preparing for now is the upcoming half-way period of the 2017-2018 English FA Cup. The final was against city rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Crystal Palace naturally attaches great importance to this game.
This season, Crystal Palace's goal is no longer simply to defend the Premier League and Champions League.
Now their goal is very ambitious, that is to defend the Grand Slam!
Last season, Crystal Palace won the Grand Slam. This season, their current performance and state are very good, and they are very likely to defend the Grand Slam. Now they will naturally not give up any game, and the FA Cup competition has already reached the semi-finals, so they will naturally not give up.
At this time, the entire Crystal Palace team is preparing for this game.
Crystal Palace fans also called on the team to defeat Tottenham Hotspur, let Tottenham Hotspur people know how powerful their Crystal Palace is, and let Londoners know who is the King of London?
Currently in the Premier League, the best-performing London team is naturally Crystal Palace, and the best-performing team in recent years is still Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace is not the King of London, who is?
Who deserves it?
And more importantly, Crystal Palace has almost won all the London derbies in these years. ??
From all aspects, Crystal Palace is currently the number one in London and the king of London!
Facing Tottenham Hotspur in this game, they are naturally confident.
Must win!
After all, in this season's Premier League, Crystal Palace defeated Tottenham Hotspur in both rounds, the first time by 4-3 and the second time by 4-2. Do you think your level at Tottenham Hotspur is comparable to that of our Crystal Palace? You, Tottenham Hotspur, will definitely lose this game.
Crystal Palace fans are extremely confident.
Crystal Palace fans, you are not afraid at all when facing Tottenham Hotspur. Even with their results this season, are there any teams that are afraid of it?
Therefore, for this game, no one will be more confident than the Crystal Palace people.
However, at this time, Tong Yi said in an interview with media reporters, "The more we are at this time, the more cautious we must be to avoid any problems at this time. After all, it is already the semi-finals. Well, if something unexpected happens, we won’t be able to advance to the finals, which will have a huge impact on us!”
Indeed, there really cannot be any accidents at this time.
Crystal Palace fans are also motivating Crystal Palace players to be more cautious.
At this time, Tottenham Hotspur people attach great importance to this game.
They just encountered Waterloo in the Premier League. At this critical moment when they are competing for the top four in the league and the Champions League next season, they were actually tied one to one by Brighton coached by Vieri in the league. This caused them to instantly fall out of the top four in the Premier League and be overtaken by Manchester United.
Because in this round of games, Manchester United defeated Bournemouth 2-0 away from home, directly overtaking Tottenham Hotspur by one point, and returned to the top four in the league.
Therefore, there is a bit of low pressure on Tottenham Hotspur's side now.
At this time, they urgently need a victory to boost their morale.
And they also attach great importance to the English FA Cup. They don't want to be empty-handed after one season. Their goal is also to win the championship. Now that they are so close to winning the FA Cup, do you think they will give up easily?
Obviously it's impossible!
For this game, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely go all out.
When Tottenham Hotspur head coach Pochettino was interviewed by media reporters at this time, he said, "We have already entered the semi-finals. Do you think we will give up? Obviously, in this game we Tottenham Hotspur has only one goal, which is to win and reach the final, then win in the final and win the FA Cup this season!"
Did you see that at this time Pochettino also shouted his championship declaration?
At this time, there is no one who does not want to win the championship.
Tottenham Hotspur thinks so, and Crystal Palace people naturally think so too.
Moreover, the Crystal Palace people feel that they have a greater probability of winning, and it is simply impossible for Tottenham Hotspur to defeat them.
Firstly, it is because the strength gap between the two teams is too big, and it is simply impossible for Tottenham Hotspur to win.
Secondly, there have been many conflicts within Tottenham Hotspur recently.
After all, there have been a lot of transfer rumors about Tottenham Hotspur recently, and they are very true, making everyone feel that this is how things should develop.
At this time, media reporters are still frantically reporting on Tottenham Hotspur's transfer rumors.
The first is Tottenham Hotspur’s number one Harry Kane!
It is said that Barcelona and Manchester United are very optimistic about Kane and have already made an offer to Tottenham Hotspur. Barcelona is very optimistic about Kane, but Mourinho named Kane for Manchester United. Because he found that the guy they introduced, Morata, was far from meeting their expectations!
Morata, the king of Yue,
This guy who only knows how to header the ball really let them down completely.
Manchester United is struggling so much this season because of the introduction of Morata, who does not have a good center.
Mourinho even slapped his chest in front of the media reporters and promised, "If you give us a Ronaldo or Kane, our Manchester United team will definitely be able to win the Premier League championship. I am fully confident in this!"
Then there was news that Manchester United had made an offer to Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester United fans are also very supportive of this transfer. They feel that Kane should transfer to their Manchester United team. Manchester United is the most suitable team for Kane.
And according to reporters in London, Kane does have the idea of joining Manchester United.
Therefore, during this period, media reporters have been reporting the news, claiming that after the end of this season, Kane will leave Tottenham Hotspur and move to Manchester United.
What shocked everyone even more was that Manchester United was about to change their coach, and they were still chasing Kane. .??.
Some media in Manchester reported that the club's senior management was very dissatisfied with Mourinho's coaching results. Especially when Manchester United fell out of the top four in the league and was likely to fail to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, this kind of questioning voice was particularly fierce.
At that time, almost everyone thought Mourinho would be fired.
During that time, the scandal reported by media reporters was that Manchester United was going to fire Mourinho and bring in Pochettino!
Yes, Manchester United are chasing Pochettino like crazy right now. After the end of this season, the Argentine is likely to coach Manchester United.
This hurts Tottenham Hotspur people very much!
This man from Manchester United is really nothing. He dares to poach us like this. Damn it.
We will never sell Kane, let alone send Pochettino away.
But in the eyes of those media reporters, Kane's joining Manchester United is even smoother. After all, Kane's current head coach is also going to Manchester United. How could Kane not go?
It is said that a reporter from "The Sun" said that Pochettino's team is indeed in contact with Manchester United. The only requirement from Pochettino's team to join Manchester United is that Manchester United introduce Kane and bring Kane to Old Trafford.
Many Manchester United fans are madly mocking Mourinho for making wedding dresses for others.
Mourinho has not been in a good mood recently.
In addition to these rumors, it is said that Manchester City is interested in Tottenham Hotspur's Alli, and they are prepared to spend a lot of money to get this English technical midfielder to Manchester City. Guardiola is picking up here
He made it clear during the interview that he claimed that the best place for Ali is Manchester City.
The skills and tactics of Manchester City are the most suitable for Ali, and Ali can only grow up in Manchester City.
Therefore, Manchester City's current pursuit of Ali is also very fierce.
Even at this time, the "Times" reported that Ali had privately contacted the top management of the Manchester City team, and the photos were published. This is also the most frustrating thing for Tottenham Hotspur people recently. They have tried to persuade Ali not to leave Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur is the best home for you Ali. Here you are the king. If you go to Manchester City, you can only help others. How good is it to stay at Tottenham Hotspur? Moreover, Tottenham Hotspur is also very strong now. When we are more mature next season, we will be able to compete for the Premier League championship. Why must we go to Manchester City?
At this time, Tottenham Hotspur Club is also frantically refuting the rumors. They claim that they currently have no idea of selling the players, let alone let Pochettino go. Pochettino still has a long contract with them, and they will naturally not break up the current promising team of Tottenham Hotspur.
Now our Tottenham Hotspur team is fighting for next season's Champions League qualification and FA Cup championship. In what way is our Tottenham Hotspur team worse than your Manchester City team? Your Manchester City team really has nothing to lose this season, and can only qualify for the Champions League next season.
And we at Tottenham Hotspur have a chance to win the FA Cup directly.
Tottenham Hotspur have stated righteously that they will not sell any players.
They won't sell Sun Xingmin. As for Bayern Munich and Chelsea, just put your thoughts away!
Yes, at this time Bayern Munich and Chelsea are also trying to seduce Tottenham Hotspur's South Korean international Son Heung-min.
And in the eyes of media reporters, Sun Xingmin is actually the most likely to leave Tottenham Hotspur.
Because everyone is very aware of the grievances between Sun Heung-min and Lamela, and Lamela is Pochettino's "godson", can Sun Heung-min still stay at Tottenham Hotspur?
Recently, "Bild" reported that Bayern Munich has prepared a transfer fee of 60 million euros for Sun Xingmin, and they need the Korean very much.
So, at this time, Tottenham Hotspur is already falling apart. What can you do to compete with our Crystal Palace? You have no chance at all!
The fans of Crystal Palace think that it is relatively easy for them to defeat Tottenham Hotspur.
At present, their condition is also very good, and they will not give Tottenham Hotspur any chance at all.
