Crystal Palace s Hertha Berlin – 0:1
Crystal Palace s Alkmaar - 1:2
Athletic Bilbao s Crystal Palace – 3:0
Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion – 1:4
Ipswich Town v Crystal Palace – 4:2
Six consecutive losses!
Crystal Palace suffered a six-game losing streak in the warm-up matches before the start of the new season. This was also the second season after Tong Yi came to Crystal Palace that he lost all pre-season warm-up matches.
But the English media and fans don't pay much attention to this.
They think this doesn't make any sense.
Because they have understood that since Tong Yi, a Chinese soft-boiled boy, became a professional football head coach, he almost always lost in every pre-season warm-up match he coached and rarely won. He has even lost all pre-season warm-up matches for several consecutive seasons.
But his results in leading the team that season were very ideal.
This has shown that the pre-season warm-up matches are not comparable to the team coached by Tong Yi, and they have no reference significance. At this time, no media reporters or fans seized on this matter to speak out. They took it lightly.
Pre-season warm-up games don't matter at all.
The important thing is to see the level Crystal Palace shows in the league, that is the real one.
However, some media reporters still expressed doubts about Crystal Palace.
They still feel that Crystal Palace is the favorite to be relegated this season.
After all, the Premier League is different from the English Championship. The Premier League is the most intense, fastest-paced, and most competitive league in the world today. Just because you perform well in the English Championship does not mean that you can do well in the Premier League. After all, in the history of English professional football, there are many English Championship champions who did not do well in the Premier League. There are even some English Championship champions who have been promoted to the first place. They were directly relegated in just one season.
In the 2004-2005 season, the first year of the British Championship, Sunderland won the British Championship with 94 points and were promoted to the Premier League. Then in the 2005-2006 season, newly promoted Sunderland won 3 wins, 6 draws, 29 losses and 15 points in the Premier League, finishing last in the league. Relegated to the Championship.
In the 2007-2008 season, West Bromwich Albion, the champion of the English Championship, won the English Championship and was promoted to the Premier League, just like Sunderland. In the 2008-2009 season, West Bromwich Albion also finished last in the league and was relegated to the English Championship.
Queens Park Rangers, the English Championship champions in the 20102011 season, finished 17th in the Premier League in the 20112012 season and were almost relegated to the Premier League.
The 2011-2012 English Championship champion Reading finished 18th in the Premier League last season and was successfully relegated to the English Championship.
Look, that means 3 of the British Championship champions in the past 9 seasons have been relegated.
So, just winning the Championship doesn't mean anything.
After arriving in the Premier League, they are still a rookie team and are the favorites for relegation.
Reading, the best-performing champions in the history of the Championship, won the Championship with 106 points in the 2005-2006 season and were promoted to the Premier League. They only finished 8th in the Premier League in the 2007-2008 season and did not qualify for the European competition at all.
This is also the best result in the first season after promotion to the Premier League in the history of the British Championship.
Therefore, it is very difficult for Crystal Palace to achieve good results in the Premier League this season. They want to qualify for the European competition, which is the top six in the Premier League, which is almost possible.
Now everyone knows why media reporters, fans, football celebrities and betting companies are not optimistic about Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace, the British Championship champion, has no way to stand up to the Premier League teams. Coupled with the young lineup created by Tong Yi, it is surprising that they can achieve good results.
Do you think that the Premier League is the same as the English Championship, and everyone can win the championship by renting some talented young players from Premier League teams to compete?
The main players in the Premier League are some of the best and top players in the world, which is far beyond what you players in the Championship can compare with.
You have to know, in the English Championship, there are really some young stars on loan from the traditional giants of the Premier League, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, and then successfully promoted to the Premier League. But what about after promotion to the Premier League? He was beaten to a pulp and was directly demoted.
Therefore, the English Championship is not worth mentioning in front of the Premier League.
So, don't look at it. Crystal Palace seemed to perform well in the English Championship last season and scored 100 points. But what's the use? Reading's best result, which scored 106 points, was only eighth in the league, and there were so many English Championship champions who were directly relegated.
Therefore, Crystal Palace will inevitably be looked down upon.
Especially after seeing Tong Yi's bad behavior, they were even more so.
You want to rely on a group of young people aged 17, 18 or early 20 to compete for European qualification in the Premier League. This is undoubtedly a foolish dream. It's hard for your lineup to avoid relegation. Only an arrogant and arrogant guy like Tong Yi would think so.
At this time, some media reporters even went to interview Sir Alex Ferguson who had just retired.
After all, Ferguson is very optimistic about Tong Yi. What will his reaction be after seeing Tong Yi's behavior? Media reporters and fans want to see it very much.
Facing media reporters, Ferguson said this: "I think there is still something wrong with your thinking. You should not look at David in this way! David is not a head coach who can use common sense to persuade him. People often do extraordinary things and achieve amazing results.”
Webster pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
, I think Ferguson is right.
Ferguson continued, "Go and take a look, what kind of lineup did David have when he coached 1860 Munich? Is his lineup young? He can succeed in the Bundesliga, why can't he succeed in the Premier League? And , David’s lineup is not all made up of young people. Doesn’t it include veterans like Carvalho, Delaney and Heskey? Doesn’t it also include players in their prime like McCarthy and Paulinho? Players? And are there talented players like Pogba and Lukaku who are already emerging despite being young? There are also some young players with good talents."
Hearing these words, Webster kept nodding his head. He suddenly changed his view of Tong Yi.
Ferguson continued, "Look, after hearing what I said, do you think the Crystal Palace lineup is actually quite reasonable? There are three generations of players, old, middle and young, with experience, ability and talent, plus David is very With solid and excellent skills and tactics, as well as team leadership and on-the-spot adaptability, I think there should be no problem for Crystal Palace to avoid relegation this season. It is also very possible to even break Reading's record for the best results of a newly promoted team in the Premier League. Even if Crystal Palace does qualify for the European competition in the end, I won’t be surprised!”
hiss!
The media reporters at the scene all took a breath of cold air. Wasn't Ferguson too optimistic about Tong Yi?
However, Webster felt that Ferguson still had some truth. .??.
Yes, Crystal Palace's main lineup still looks very young, but this does not mean that they lack players in their prime and some experienced veterans.
Therefore, the Crystal Palace lineup is not as unbearable as everyone previously thought.
Although it still seems far away from qualifying for the European competition, there should be a chance of relegation, right?
Based on Crystal Palace's current lineup and Tong Yi's excellent coaching ability, Webster feels that there should be no big problem in Crystal Palace's relegation this season.
At this time, Klopp, who was far away in Germany, also accepted interviews from media reporters.
Klopp also supported Tong Yi, saying, "My junior brother is very powerful. His understanding of some technical and tactical skills is much better than mine. He is a very, very smart and powerful head coach. I think this There is no problem for Crystal Palace to avoid relegation this season, and there is hope for even qualifying for the European competition. Don’t forget, David finished second in the Bundesliga when he was first promoted to the Bundesliga, and won the Bundesliga championship the next year Yes. You doubt such a championship coach, I don’t know what’s going on in your head.”
There is one more thing Klopp didn't say, that is, Tong Yi is the youngest winning coach in the history of the Europa League.
This is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
After hearing Klopp's words, some media reporters were also shaken. It seems that they really underestimate Tong Yi and Crystal Palace, but they are just
It is impossible to think that Crystal Palace can avoid relegation and achieve better results.
Even at this time, some betting companies have adjusted the odds of Crystal Palace being relegated.
Gradually, some people think that Crystal Palace can avoid relegation.
At this time, Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger also stood up and accepted interviews from reporters every day.
He said: "David is a very good head coach. I think you should not underestimate him. When he comes to the Premier League, he will definitely have a great impact on the pattern of the Premier League. I don't understand what you are doing. It depends on what he thinks, we at Arsenal will attach great importance to them, Crystal Palace is our biggest opponent at Arsenal in the new season!"
The media reporters were speechless. You, Wenger, have done a good job!
You better go and fight for your four, fight for the four mad demons.
Why don't you just let Crystal Palace avoid relegation? Why do you have to cause trouble for Crystal Palace?
At this time, Manchester United's new head coach Moyes also accepted interviews from media reporters.
Facing Adriana, Moyes said, "To be honest, I don't know much about Tong Yi, whom Sir Alex Ferguson values, but that doesn't stop me from hearing his story. To be honest, it sounds like Very fantasy, he is really amazing. Anyway, I don’t like what you think, and I don’t care what the fans think of him? Our Manchester United team will attach great importance to him, and I will send people to pay attention to him and his football. The team. Our Manchester United team must be foolproof. The new season is really too important for our Manchester United team. No one or any team can affect us!"
Adriana nodded slightly, understanding what Moyes meant.
Moyes does not necessarily pay special attention to Tong Yi, but treats all teams equally and attaches equal importance to him.
In other words, in the eyes of Moyes, Crystal Palace is no different from other teams, and there is no need to treat it differently. It is just a flop opponent.
However, Adriana still saw that Moyes was serious. It can be seen that taking over the Manchester United team is also a very stressful thing for Moyes. At this time, Moyes is a little cautious.
Tong Yi didn't pay attention to these rumors from the outside world and the opinions of other team coaches.
Tong Yi's mind is already focused on the new season, which is just around the corner.
The first round of the 2013-2014 Premier League season will start on August 17, with Crystal Palace hosting Tottenham Hotspur.
Before this, Tong Yi went to watch this season's Community Shield game. Moyes defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0 in his first official game for Manchester United and got off to a good start.
After watching this game, Tong Yi devoted himself to preparing for the first round of the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur.
This is also Tong Yi's first Premier League game, and he takes it very seriously.
