137: Crystal Palace encountered a huge crisis

Zero to one, lost!

Seeing this result, Tong Yi sighed, a little surprised.

But overall it's still acceptable.

These boys played well, especially Goretzka and Weigel, whose performance made Tong Yi shine.

Goretzka is now very powerful and mature, and has been able to enter the team's normal rotation.

Weigel, on the other hand, performed pretty well.

After experiencing the English Championship and youth team games, he is not as resistant to physical confrontation as before.

Moreover, he can sometimes have a slight advantage in physical confrontation.

After all, he is still young and his body has not fully grown yet.

After his body is fully developed, Tong Yi believes that Weigel will no longer be afraid of physical confrontation and will be able to make good use of his body.

This is very different from the Weigel in Tong Yi's memory.

Weigel in Tong Yi's memory was gradually abandoned by Dortmund because he was too resistant to physical confrontation and had no defensive strength at the midfielder position, so he was gradually abandoned. Later, he even went to the Portuguese Super League Benfica and his performance was not very ideal.

If he does not change these problems, his future achievements will be limited.

Weigel's advantage lies in controlling the ball, passing the ball, and dispatching teammates. In the current football environment, without good physical confrontation ability, it is not easy for him to use these advantages, especially after being targeted by his opponents. .

But Weigel is different now.

At such a young age, he came to the British mainland to experience British football, especially after the physical confrontation in the lower-level leagues of the British mainland. His physical confrontation ability is slowly getting stronger.

Of course, looking at it now, Weigel still has a long way to go.

However, this is already a good start.

In this game, Weigel performed well, very well, and Tong Yi was very satisfied.

Of course, Tong Yi is also very satisfied with Zhang Linpeng's performance.

Zhang Linpeng has really grown up now, and has even reached the peak. Moreover, the current Zhang Linpeng is stronger than the peak Zhang Linpeng in Tong Yi's memory.

At present, Zhang Linpeng has gradually secured his position as the team's main right back.

When he first came to Crystal Palace, Zhang Linpeng was positioned as a substitute right back, not even a rotation.

But now, he has gradually become the main right back.

From the second half of the season, he has almost secured this position.

He also performed very well in this game.

Campbell talked about Zhang Linpeng in Tong Yi's ears many times, praised Zhang Linpeng, and even

He even recommended Zhang Linpeng to Tong Yi as the main right back. Vieri also suggested this.

Seeing this, Tong Yi was actually very satisfied.

In fact, Crystal Palace also played well in this game. They also created a lot of opportunities, and the opportunities were no less than Burnley's. But they just didn't take advantage of the opportunity, especially Husky.

This guy Husky squandered several very good opportunities.

This left Crystal Palace fans speechless.

Some Crystal Palace fans have even begun to compare Heskey with Chelsea's Torres. Both of them are forwards who can be called iron guards on the court, and both have failed to score many times.

The last time Chelsea faced Crystal Palace, Torres failed to score twice. This time against Burnley, Heskey missed two empty goals again. These two are really inseparable brothers, and they can even form a team.

However, Torres has performed well this season and has scored 12 goals in all competitions.

But Chelsea fans are still dissatisfied. After all, Torres is worth more than 50 million pounds. Scoring such a penalty in one season is inconsistent with the team's expectations.

Tong Yi suddenly turned around and said to Campbell, "Can you ask the staff in the transfer department to pay attention to Torres and see when he will transfer?"

Campbell was a little confused and asked, "Torres? Which Torres?"

Campbell didn't react.

Vieri immediately reached out and poked Campbell, then he turned to Tong Yi and said, "Okay, I will ask the transfer department to go to Chelsea to inquire about the situation."

After hearing this, Campbell realized, is Tong Yi going to introduce Torres?

His eyes widened, hadn't Torres become the Iron Guard now? Why bring him in?

But he didn't say anything, and immediately said, "Okay, I will follow up!"

To be honest, if Torres is willing to come to Crystal Palace when he leaves Chelsea, this would be a good choice. Torres is really a very good supplement for Crystal Palace, which is in great need of a center.

Tong Yi nodded slightly, and then looked at the league's standings.

Although Crystal Palace lost in this round, they were not caught up too much by Cardiff City behind them. The reason is that Cardiff City drew 0-0 at home with Ipswich Town in this round and did not seize the opportunity to narrow the gap with Crystal Palace.

this is a very good news

.

After 27 rounds of the English Championship in the 2012-2013 season, Crystal Palace currently has 21 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses and 64 points.

Cardiff City, ranked second, has 18 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses and 57 points.

Now, Crystal Palace is still 7 points ahead of Cardiff City, and this point difference is still quite large.

So, for now, Crystal Palace doesn’t have to worry.

But in the following games, Crystal Palace really has to exert its strength and will definitely not give Cardiff City a chance to catch up.

In the next round of the 28th round of the English Championship, Crystal Palace will return to their home stadium, Selhurst Park, where they will face Bolton Wanderers. .??.

The situation is different now when we face Bolton and when the two sides played in the first leg, completely different.

In the first round between the two sides, Bolton's head coach Friedman was full of confidence and high morale.

At that time, he really didn't pay attention to Tong Yi at all.

At that time he was here to conquer!

But Bolton still lost to Crystal Palace in that game, which made Friedman very embarrassed.

Now, Friedman's situation is not very good. At the beginning of the season, Bolton Wanderers' goal was to be promoted to the Premier League, and Friedman was also very confident that he would lead Bolton Wanderers to the Premier League.

However, the 27th round of the league is over, and Bolton Wanderers' current record is 8 wins, 9 draws, 10 losses and 33 points.

They are now 31 points away from Crystal Palace, who is at the top of the league. This gap is so huge that Friedman dare not look directly at Tong Yi.

And they are now 10 points behind Watford, who is sixth in the league.

Although there are still 18 rounds of the league and they still have plenty of opportunities, the English media are not very optimistic about Friedman and Bolton.

So now Friedman is being questioned at Bolton. Many fans are not satisfied with Friedman's coaching results. Some fans are even calling for Friedman to be fired and the team to find a new head coach. of.

However, before this game, Friedman still said, "Although we are now very many points behind Crystal Palace, I don't think the point difference between the two teams represents the real strength gap between the two teams. In my opinion, this game In the game, Bolton still have a good chance of defeating our opponent.”

Friedman even said, "I still say that Tong Yi is not an excellent head coach, although his current results seem to be very good. I think if Crystal Palace wants to really upgrade to the Premier League, I think they should change A more experienced head coach.”

Yes, at this time Friedman was still thinking of giving

Tong Yi and Crystal Palace were trying to create some civil strife, but unfortunately it was obvious that he was unsuccessful.

On January 19, 2013, Crystal Palace welcomed Bolton Wanderers at their home stadium, Selhurst Park.

For this game, Crystal Palace fans came with full expectations. They believed that Crystal Palace could defeat their opponents and get three points.

But the final result of this game was beyond their expectations.

Because the game ended in a zero-to-zero draw, with no one scoring a goal.

Oh no! The Crystal Palace team actually scored two goals. Unfortunately, both goals were blown away by the referee of this game. One goal was an offside kick and the other was a suspected offside kick. These two goals were disallowed and Crystal Palace drew with their opponent.

To be honest, the fans at the scene were very dissatisfied and very angry.

This referee obviously came with a mission.

The most angry person was Heskey. He finally broke his goal drought and scored. However, his goal was disallowed by the referee. Heskey was very excited at the time, roared at the referee, and even received a yellow card.

It's a pity, it's really a pity!

In fact, Tong Yi was also very dissatisfied with the referee's decision. He also discussed it with the referee, and finally received a yellow card warning.

The end of this round originally made the Crystal Palace people feel dangerous. After all, they did not win and get three points. This gave the rival Cardiff City a chance. Sure enough, the Cardiff City people did not miss the opportunity. They reversed and beat Blackpool 2-1 in the away game, and finally got three points with difficulty.

This is a difficult and crucial three points for Cardiff City.

Cardiff City people are very excited and excited. They are full of fighting spirit and continue to move forward bravely, hoping to catch up with Crystal Palace as soon as possible, or even overtake Crystal Palace. Now that they have seen hope, they are very positive, very proactive, full of energy, and ready to keep working hard.

At the end of the 28th round of the league, Crystal Palace's current record is 21 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses and 65 points.

Cardiff City, ranked second, has a record of 19 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses and 60 points.

Yes, Cardiff City is currently only 5 points behind Crystal Palace. This point difference is very small.

At this time, many English media reporters jumped out and claimed that Tong Yi was really going to die. Tong Yi encountered a very big problem. It was obvious that Tong Yi could not solve it at his current level, and the Crystal Palace was doomed.

At this time, Tong Yi was preparing for the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final against Chelsea and had no time to pay attention to these media reporters.
