…

The next day, major media in the British mainland reported the news of Crystal Palace's six-goal victory over Exeter City. However, their coverage did not focus on the progress of the game, but on Tong Yi's arrogance at the post-game press conference.

All major media outlets are ridiculing Tong Yi!

They all felt that Tong Yi, a soft-boiled guy, had never won a game at all. He just defeated a relegation team in the English League Two, and Tong Yi's tail was raised to the sky.

Have you forgotten how Crystal Palace lost in the warm-up match?

You can even lose to teams in the Scottish Second Division. Who can you, Crystal Palace, defeat?

Exeter City cannot represent the strength of English football.

The English Championship team is stronger than your Bundesliga team. Why do you Crystal Palace want to upgrade?

Don't think that you are great just because you have achieved some results in Germany. In England, you are nothing! You are a complete newcomer here, you do not understand English football at all, and there is no way you can succeed in England.

Take a look at what the hell your signings are?

You want to be promoted to the Premier League just because of these little guys who have just grown up? How much do you despise the Championship? How much do you despise the Premier League?

What do you think the Premier League is?

Is the Premier League something you can play if you want to?

These media reporters all think that this guy Tong Yi is arrogant and useless at first. Look what this kid did after he came to Crystal Palace? What kind of players are introduced? With this group of players, he still wants to upgrade? dream!

Just watch, Crystal Palace will definitely be relegated in the new season!

Tong Yi will definitely appear in the League One ranks next season!

Not only these media think so, but many fans in England also think so after seeing these reports. They feel that this guy Tong Yi is really too crazy, and can even be compared with Mourinho back then.

It is a pity that Tong Yi got Mourinho's disease, but did not die from Mourinho.

With signings like Tong Yi, you will be relegated even if you go to League One. Do you still want to upgrade to the Premier League?

dream!

Regardless of the fact that Crystal Palace spent nearly 20 million euros in the transfer market, you can upgrade to the Premier League. Who are you looking down on? You want to be promoted to the English Championship for 20 million euros. Are you dreaming about it, or are you insulting the English Championship?

And look at the 20 million you spent to bring in some crooked melons and cracked dates, such as Mane for only 4 million euros? There is also an Egyptian who is on loan for 4 million euros? Who are these guys?

You, Crystal Palace, are just waiting for relegation, and they are still upgrading!

To be honest, even Crystal Palace fans expressed great dissatisfaction with the team's signings for the new season.

They really don't know why this guy Tong Yi has introduced so many young people, and some of them have never heard of young people. Are you going to rely on these young people to upgrade to the Premier League?

Most Crystal Palace fans don’t believe it!

Crystal Palace fans were very angry at this time.

Even when they saw Crystal Palace beating Exeter City 6-0, they had no reaction.

Ruined!

Crystal Palace is finished for the new season!

At this time, "The Sun" reporter Webster analyzed the prospects of this season's English Championship in his column. In his opinion, Crystal Palace is the biggest favorite for relegation, not even one.

In Webster's view, the favorites for promotion to the English Championship this season are the three teams that were relegated from the Premier League last season, Bolton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers and Wolves. Although these three teams did not perform very well in the Premier League last season, they are still very capable.

And among them, Bolton and Blackburn are actually very close to relegation. It only takes one or two games, which shows that their strength is still good. They are still the strength of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, which is one level higher than the English Championship. file.

Also, although these three teams have been in and out of the transfer market, overall, their strength has not declined significantly, so they still maintain the level of the Premier League, and they are naturally upgraded. Popular.

In addition to these three teams, there are also 4th-placed Birmingham, 5th-placed Blackpool and 6th-placed Cardiff City in the English Championship last season. These teams all participated in the promotion play-offs last season. Unfortunately, They lost in the end, to West Ham United.

These teams are all teams determined to upgrade. During this transfer period, not only did they not sell their main players, they even made reinforcements. So, this

The strength of these teams has strengthened a lot this season, and they are naturally the favorites for promotion to the English Championship this season.

In addition to these teams, Middlesbrough, Hecheng, Brighton and Watford also have a very high probability of being upgraded, and they are considered to be relatively high in the draft.

After combining these teams, Webster himself believes that the three most popular teams for promotion are Watford, Leicester City and Blackburn.

Watford has frequently made big moves in the transfer market this season, spending a lot of real money. And from Webster's point of view, Watford's signings are also very reliable, and Watford's strength has increased visibly.

Moreover, this summer, the Italian consortium that acquired Watford directly hired the legendary Italian superstar Zola to take over Watford's coach and became Watford's new head coach. His task is to lead the ball. The team gets an upgrade.

This is why Watford has been recruiting heavily this summer. .??.??

Zola is a legendary superstar in Italy, and he is very familiar with British football. He also ushered in another glory of his career at Chelsea. Here he was elected as the English Footballer of the Year, entered the English Football Hall of Fame, was selected as Chelsea's greatest player of all time, and entered Chelsea's Centenary Team.

Moreover, he once coached West Ham United in the Premier League and is very familiar with football here.

Watford directly poached Zola from the coaching position of the Italy U21 national team.

Moreover, Zola also invited Corradini, the former assistant coach of Lippi, Capello and Deschamps, to become his assistant.

Corradini once served as the head coach of Juventus when Juventus played in Serie B.

Corradini is very powerful, very capable and experienced.

More importantly, Corradini has rich experience as an assistant coach to famous coaches. He should have learned a lot from Lippi, Capello and Deschamps. With him assisting Zola, it should be relatively easy for Watford to upgrade.

Watford has money, people and a famous coach this season. How could they not upgrade?

Leicester City is also a wealthy club in the English Championship. Last year, the Thai owner acquired the last 20 shares of the club and became the sole shareholder of the team.

Just after completely acquiring the team, the Thai boss assured all the fans that he would definitely bring Leicester City into the Premier League. They spent a lot of money in the transfer market that season. Last season they ranked ninth, very close to sixth.

This season, Leicester City has made it clear that they must be promoted to the Premier League.

They also invest a lot in the transfer market.

Big, no worse than the Crystal Palace. With the foundation of the previous seasons and the investment this season, the Leicester City team has greatly strengthened its strength and has a good chance of being promoted to the Premier League.

There are also rumors that the Thai owner of Leicester City is selecting famous coaches from all over the world to coach Leicester City, vowing to bring Leicester City into the Premier League.

Although Blackburn is not a strong team in the Premier League, they are also a mid-table team. Since 2001, they have been in the Premier League all year round and won the League Cup in 2002.

Their strength has declined somewhat in recent years, but they are still in the middle of the Premier League.

It was actually a bit unlucky to be relegated last season.

Moreover, they have not lost any players in the transfer market this summer. Their Premier League level is actually maintained, so their current strength should be higher than other English Championship teams. Webster believes that Blackburn's upgrade potential is very high.

These three teams are the ones Webster values.

Moreover, the predictions of some other media reporters are similar to his predictions. Therefore, these three teams have become the biggest favorites for promotion.

Of course, Crystal Palace’s name is naturally included in Webster’s favorite prediction for relegation.

Originally, Crystal Palace was not particularly strong in the English Championship. In last season's English Championship, they only ranked 17th with 56 points. Last season, only one team was relegated from the English Championship. Because the league wanted to expand, only one team was relegated and three teams were promoted. There will be 24 teams participating in the new season of the English Championship.

Last season, the normal Crystal Palace had this strength. This season, with Tong Yi's random recruitment, Crystal Palace wants to rely on a group of young boys who have just grown up to conquer the world. Isn't this courting death? This strength is even worse than last season. How could they not become the favorites for relegation?

Three teams have been relegated from the Championship this season, and Crystal Palace must be one of them.

After seeing these reports, Zola was very angry, crumpled up the newspaper in his hand and threw it to the ground, "Shit! Tong Yi's Crystal Palace is not as weak as you think! This guy Tong Yi must be our Walter There is not even one of Ford’s biggest competitors!”

After hearing Zola's words, Corradini immediately nodded in agreement.

To be honest, Corradini almost couldn't help laughing when he saw Webster's report. In his opinion, Webster's predictions are a big joke. Is Crystal Palace going to be relegated?

Bullshit!

Didn't you see how Crystal Palace performed in the Carabao Cup? Don't you see in it some doors coming?

Are Crystal Palace that easy to beat?
