287: Challenging Ukraine’s top team Dynamo Kiev

Yes, Tong Yi led the Crystal Palace players to Ukraine to participate in the first round of the 2013-2014 Europa League 32 knockout rounds.

In this round of competition, Crystal Palace’s opponent is the Ukrainian giant Dynamo Kiev.

Dynamo Kyiv is the well-deserved dominant team in Ukraine.

They have won the Ukrainian Super League championship a total of 13 times in history, and from 1992 to 2004, they won 11 consecutive Ukrainian Super League championships, which is simply the top spot in the Ukrainian Super League!

Moreover, they have also won 9 Ukrainian Cup championships, 5 Ukrainian Super Cup championships, 2 European Cup Winners Cup championships, and 1 European Super Cup championship!

And there was no solution in the Soviet Union. As a team, they won 13 Soviet League championships, 9 Soviet Cup championships, and 3 Soviet Super Cup championships. ??

This is a proper honor harvester!

And this team also has many well-known teams, the most well-known of which is the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Andrei Shevchenko!

Yes, Shevchenko came from the youth training of this team. He also performed very well here and is one of the club's legends.

However, Shevchenko is not the best player to emerge from this team.

The best is Oleg Blokhin. This player born in 1952 is the best shooter in the former Soviet Union. He also won the European Ballon d'Or in 1975, which is also the European Footballer.

So far, he still holds many records at Dynamo Kyiv.

He is the player with the most appearances in the history of Dynamo Kyiv, playing 423 games. He is also the player with the most goals for Dynamo Kyiv, scoring 266 goals. He is also the player with the most goals in the Dynamo Kyiv League, scoring 266 goals. Scored 211 goals.

He is also the idol of Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko!

So this team really cannot be underestimated.

More importantly, Blokhin is still the head coach of Dynamo Kiev!

From the time he took over the team in 2012 to now, Dynamo Kyiv's results are still good, but the recent results are not particularly ideal.

But he has absolute prestige in the team.

Therefore, in Tong Yi's opinion, this away game is actually very difficult to play.

Tong Yi also attaches great importance to this opponent. After all, Tong Yi also wants to go further in the Europa League.

After arriving in Kiev, Ukraine, Tong Yi accepted interviews from local media reporters.

Local reporters still have a good impression of Tong Yi, a Chinese, perhaps because the former Soviet Union and China had a good relationship. The people here have a good sense of Chinese people and are very friendly.

Facing the questions from these media reporters, Tong Yi said, "Mr. Blokhin is indeed a very good player and head coach. I respect him very much. He is a very capable person.

Dynamo Kyiv led by him is also very difficult to play. This game should be very difficult for us at Crystal Palace. Our goal is to escape unscathed and win the second round! "

This is Tong Yi's true thoughts, and he doesn't mean to be flattering.

Blokhin is really a good head coach. After retiring, he coached in the Greek league for a long time. Later, he took over the Ukrainian national team in 2003, led the team to enter and participate in the 2006 World Cup, and achieved good results. And in 2011, he took over the Ukrainian national team for the second time and led the team to the 2012 European Cup.

His performance in the Ukrainian national team is still very good.

He is the most famous head coach in Ukraine and the star of Ukrainian football.

Blokhin is definitely a difficult being to deal with!

Tong Yi also said, "Of course, when we come here, we also hope to take away the victory. We will definitely go all out in this game. As for the result, leave it to the game!"

When the Ukrainians saw Tong Yi's response, they all felt that Dynamo Kyiv should be safe in this game.

Because this guy Tong Yi has no confidence at all.

How can Crystal Palace play in this game?

Not a lost word?

However, Dynamo Kiev head coach Blokhin said in an interview, "Don't underestimate David and Crystal Palace. Although Crystal Palace is a newly promoted team, they are now the team at the top of the Premier League. They can win in the middle and late stages of the league." The team that defeated the Manchester duo, the London duo and Hongjun Liverpool is definitely not an easy team to deal with. We must take it seriously and cannot underestimate our opponents! Your current mentality is very dangerous..."

Yes, Blokhin feels that the mentality of the Ukrainian media is a little drifting, and some look down on Crystal Palace too much.

This is going to be a big loss!

What he is still afraid of now is that the players of Dynamo Kyiv will be affected by Tong Yi's words and become disdainful of the players of Crystal Palace. If this is the case, Dynamo Kyiv is really going to be doomed!

Blokhin also said, "Even though David is young, he is really a very good and experienced head coach, and he is also very cunning. As soon as he came to Ukraine, he set his profile very low. , obviously trying to make us be careless and despise them. Obviously, now he has succeeded. You are all fooled!"

The media reporters all frowned. Is this really the case?

Is young Tong Yi really that cunning?

Bloxin thought to himself, "This little guy Tong Yi is more cunning than you think!"

Otherwise, how could he have led Crystal Palace to the top of the Premier League?

This game is difficult to play!

Blokhin really did not underestimate Tong Yi, but also took it very seriously. He treated Tong Yi as their strongest opponent this season. Before the game, he reminded their players many times to be serious and not to underestimate their opponents. This game is very difficult.

The players of Dynamo Kyiv still underestimated Crystal Palace a little.

After all, Crystal Palace is just a newly promoted team in the Premier League. Even if you are very strong, how strong can you be?

Seeing this, Blokhin's face was a little ugly.

Why!

He sighed and reminded these players again, but he really couldn't control whether these players listened or not.

And to be honest, he was a little bored too!

At this time, he already had plans to leave Dynamo Kyiv, or even to retire!

Now he is just standing guard for the last time.

This happened several times, and he was very serious.

In this game, he still wants to compete with Tong Yi!

In this game, he sent out a full lineup, hoping to go further in the Europa League.

Tong Yi's side has done a rotation, but there are still many main players starting.

After all, these starting players had enough rest in the previous games.

However, Tong Yi also has to consider that three days after this game ends, they will go to face Manchester United. How should they consider that game?

To be honest, this is really a devilish schedule for Crystal Palace.

This week, Crystal Palace will play three games.

The schedule is too intensive!

In this game, Tong Yi made a rotation, and the starting list is as follows

edouard

The back four from left to right Robertson, Carvalho, Van Dijk and Zhang Linpeng

Double defensive midfielder Weigl and Kante

Single attacking midfielder De Bruyne

The front three from left to right Salah, Lukaku and Sane

Tong Yi still has to think about the next league game, otherwise people like Pogba, Mane and Paulinho will also start. They had a rest today, obviously to prepare for Manchester United.

However, even their current lineup is quite strong.

Blokhin takes it very seriously.

However, what makes Blokhin dissatisfied is that the players of Dynamo Kyiv still make him very uncomfortable. These guys still underestimate the Crystal Palace people on the court. They were completely passive from the start, and Crystal Palace's high-position press really suppressed them to the point where they had no temper at all.

Obviously, the intensity of Crystal Palace's high press was beyond the expectations of the Dynamo Kiev players, which made them a little panicked. And at this moment, Gao

After successfully intercepting the ball, De Bruyne made a direct pass and accurately sent the football into the space in the ribs of the penalty area.

Salah moved forward and volleyed the ball into the Dynamo Kiev goal.

One to zero!

Seeing this goal, Tong Yi nodded slightly. He knew that Crystal Palace should win this game. These players of Dynamo Kyiv obviously have mental problems, and they have no way to compete with Crystal Palace.

Tong Yi smiled slightly. It seemed that the little tricks before the game were successful.

These Dynamo Kiev players are really a little bit arrogant and underestimated them.

Blokhin's face on the sidelines was a little ugly, and then he kept shaking his head. I have reminded you before the game, but you still don’t pay attention. If you don’t lose, who will lose?

This is also one of the reasons why Bloxin is tired!

He really doesn't want to stay any longer, and it seems that he is really going to put retirement on the agenda.

At the beginning of the second half of the game between the two sides, De Bruyne and Salah played exquisite cooperation. Then De Bruyne went down and made a direct pass, passing the football into Dynamo Kiev's penalty area.

In the penalty area, Lukaku overwhelmed the Austrian international and later Leverkusen's main center back Dragovich, and headed the ball into the Dynamo Kiev goal.

Two to zero, Crystal Palace expanded the score.

De Bruyne still performed very well, completing passes and shots.

roll!

The attacking midfielders of Crystal Palace are really too involved. The recent performance of Goretzka, De Bruyne and Pogba is really better than the other. No one really admits defeat. , the performance is very amazing. This is also a guarantee for Crystal Palace’s good results!

At this time, those media reporters all understood it!

It turns out that this is the purpose of this guy Tong Yi!

The purpose of introducing De Bruyne is to roll up these guys, stimulate them, and make them perform better. Crystal Palace's results will naturally be better!

cunning!

This guy Tong Yi is really cunning!

hiss!

Even though Tong Yi is young, he is really awesome!

I really don’t know how this guy Tong Yi grew up!

In the end, in this game, Crystal Palace also defeated its opponent 2-0 away from home and won the first round of the Europa League's top 32 knockout round, laying a solid foundation for advancing to the top 16.

After the game, Tong Yi did not stay in Kiev and went directly back to England to prepare for the game against Manchester United. After all, the league is also very important. Naturally, Tong Yi will not give up and will definitely go all out.

However, the media in England did not think favorably of them.

The media reporters all believed that Crystal Palace would lose this game!
