083: Another south London derby

After the end of this round of games, the British Championship once again entered a short offseason!

The international break is here.

Tong Yi gave the Crystal Palace players two days off to give them a rest.

After all, the English Championship schedule is too intensive, and proper rest is necessary.

Those who have national team competition assignments do not have such a good life. They have to fly long distances to play for the national team.

Tong Yi went to the hospital with Wagner and the others.

Naturally they went to visit the injured Speroni.

To be honest, Speroni's serious injury still has a great impact on Crystal Palace.

Mendi's talent is indeed outstanding, but he is still unable to shoulder the responsibility of the first goal of the team. And that Price is worse than Mendi, so the goalkeeper position is really a problem.

Tong Yi really didn't expect that Speroni would be seriously injured accidentally.

Otherwise, he will definitely bring in a capable goalkeeper during the summer transfer.

Tong Yi and the others went to the hospital to see Speroni.

The situation was more serious than Wagner and his colleagues expected.

Speroni has indeed injured a bone. There are many fractures and fractures in the shoulder. He will have to rest for at least four or five months. If the situation goes bad, Speroni's career may not end here. it's over.

Tong Yi didn't expect it to be so serious.

Of course, Tong Yi did not tell Speroni the most serious consequences. I just advised him to take good care of his injuries. With the treatment of doctors and Wagner, he should recover very quickly. And Tong Yi also persuaded Speroni not to worry about other things. When he returns from injury, he will still be the team's main goalkeeper.

Tong Yi stayed with Speroni in the hospital for several hours before leaving.

When leaving, he happened to meet the team's captain McCarthy!

McCarthy is also recovering from an injury, and he actually came to the hospital to visit his teammates today.

This captain is really good.

Tong Yi also learned about McCarthy's injury situation in person. After learning the specific situation, his mood became even worse. McCarthy's recovery is not ideal, and he still needs a lot of time for recovery and treatment.

Tong Yi also comforted McCarthy for a while before leaving.

When leaving, Tongyiwagner said, "Will your medical team check Padrick regularly?"

Wagner immediately said, "Yes, we've been keeping an eye on his recovery."

Tong Yi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, continue to pay attention and let me know if there are any changes!"

Wagner and the others nodded slightly to express their understanding.

Then, Tong Yi also gave the members of their coaching staff two days off to let them rest.

Tong Yi is nowhere to be found

go!

These days, Tong Yi is paying attention to the situation of Mendi and Van Dijk.

Because they were on vacation, these two guys were still training with Laporte and Zhang Linpeng.

Tong Yi's brows frowned. If the strings in these guys' hearts were kept so tight, Tong Yi was really afraid that one day they would break.

Tong Yi originally wanted to stop them and let them rest more and adjust their bodies.

However, Tong Yi still went to Pintus to learn about the situation. Pintus said that there would be no problem with these little guys practicing more. If he is really in bad health, he will come forward.

With Pintus' words, Tong Yi felt a lot more relieved.

Two days later, the Crystal Palace team assembled again.

Of course, those members who went to the national team have not returned yet, and they still have to play national team games.

Therefore, during this period, Crystal Palace's training intensity was not very high, and most of the time it was maintained in a game state and rhythm.

Almost more than a week later, the players who went to the national team returned to London, came to the Beckenham training base, and began to participate in the Crystal Palace training.

Crystal Palace has also begun preparations for the 11th round of the English Championship.

In the 11th round of the English Championship, they will continue to sit at their home stadium, Selhurst Park, and face their local rival Millwall.

Millwall is one of the most unpopular teams in London.

Of course, their biggest enemy is the Hammers. There is a deep grudge between the two teams, and there have been many harassments in the stadium. Fans from both sides took action. This is not to mention off the court.

Of course, the closest Millwall is now is Charlton Thorns, which is only 4 miles apart.

However, they are not far from the Crystal Palace!

There is also a big conflict between them and Crystal Palace. They are considered mortal enemies in the same city. Because they are really too close to each other, the game between them is also called the South East London Derby.

Since 1906, the two teams have played nearly 100 games, and Millwall still has some advantages. They have won 39 games but lost only 29 games.

Therefore, the people of Millwall are still very proud in front of the people of Crystal Palace. They completely look down on the people of Crystal Palace and are arrogant!

For the upcoming game, the Millwall people showed shocking enthusiasm.

Millwall fans feel this is a great opportunity for them to continue their advantage.

The current Crystal Palace is not worth mentioning at all!

After seeing the reaction of Millwall fans, Crystal Palace fans were dumbfounded. Millwall fans, please

Not a fool, right? Crystal Palace is now the team ranked first in the English Championship, and you Millwall are currently only ranked 20th in the English Championship, 11 points behind Birmingham City in the relegation zone. You have already stepped on the relegation. District, what are you going to do to compete with our Crystal Palace?

You guys are really funny too.

Stevoni doesn't even know where this Millwall confidence comes from?

Our Crystal Palace must win this game!

Stevoni has great confidence in Tong Yi, while his son Olbramo is full of confidence in Zaha!

When Millwall head coach Kenny Jackett was interviewed by media reporters before the game, he said: "Crystal Palace's current results are indeed very good. But what does this mean? This means nothing! This game We played against them away from home, which was actually similar to the game at home, and our number of people was not much less than theirs!"

Jackett also said, "And it is simply impossible for the head coach of Crystal Palace to conquer the world with this group of kids! He was able to achieve good results before mainly because other teams did not understand him. Now that ten rounds have passed, everyone has Now that I understand Tong Yi and Crystal Palace’s style of play, it will be very difficult for Crystal Palace to win the game again! We at Millwall will definitely win this game!”

Jackett is a famous player at Watford. He came from the Watford youth training as a player. After entering the first team, he played for the Watford first team for ten years and devoted his entire career to Gave it to Watford. The former Wales international played 337 times for the Watford first team and scored 25 goals. He played as a defender and defensive midfielder. It is already good to have 25 goals. . .??.

After retiring, the first team he coached was also Watford.

In 2007, he came to Millwall, where he remains today.

Millwall fans still believe in him, but this season he has been greatly questioned. Because the team's current ranking is 20th in the league, too close to the relegation zone. Millwall fans couldn't stand it, and there were even calls for him to be sacked.

Therefore, this game is very important to him. No wonder he said he must win before the game.

It's obvious that he really hopes to win this derby to change the fans' view of him and consolidate his position as coach.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to this game.

In this game, he used all his skills to overturn the Crystal Palace team in the away game and take away three points!

What's more important is to trample the rivals in the same city under their feet, so as to gain the support and support of the fans.

He really shouted loudly before the game, crazily belittling Tong Yi and Crystal Palace. This naturally won the support of Millwall fans, who were all waiting for it.

The news of victory in this game came.

Tong Yi also understood Millwall's situation clearly.

To be honest, Tong Yi thinks it is relatively easy for Crystal Palace to win this game, as long as there are no accidents.

There is one guy in the opposing team who deserves attention, and that is New Zealand international Chris Wood!

This high center forward is not bad, physically strong enough, and has excellent heading and confrontation abilities.

In this game, Van Dijk should be taken care of by him.

Before the game, Tong Yi said this: "We, Crystal Palace, are very confident about this game. No team in South London can defeat our Crystal Palace. We, Crystal Palace, are the kings of South London, and no one can stop us." Steps forward!”

Stevoni and others felt very domineering and happy, and they all applauded and supported Tong Yi.

In this game, Tong Yi made some rotations.

After all, the national team match day had just been played before, and some players needed to rest.

For example, their main center back Delaney went to report for the Irish national team and played in the game. Tong Yi asked him to rest.

His replacement in the starting lineup for this game is Laporte!

Van Dijk and Laporte started at the same time in this game. This is also the main center back combination in Tong Yi's mind for the future team.

However, both of them are very young now. In this game, they will also face the impact of high center forwards like Wood, so the danger is still there.

Sure enough, in the 19th minute of the first half, Van Dijk made a mistake when defending Wood, and was directly pushed away by Wood, and then directly completed a low shot. The football passed through the crotch of the door and rolled directly into Crystal Palace goal.

Zero to one behind.

The away team Millwall fans were very excited, and they all turned against the visiting team and cheered crazily.

But he was not happy for long, as Crystal Palace equalized the score.

The goal was scored by the young player Goretzka, who replaced Pogba in the starting lineup. His long shot from the front of the penalty area unreasonably opened the Millwall goal.

One to one draw!

At the beginning of the second half, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity. Robertson took a well-placed corner kick, and Laporte jumped high and headed the ball into Millwall's goal.

In this way, Crystal Palace reversed Millwall 2-1 at home and won the South London derby. Crystal Palace once again scored three points.

After the game, Millwall fans immediately roared angrily, calling on Millwall's current head coach Jackett to be dismissed immediately. Millwall does not need a rubbish coach.
