Yes, after the end of this round of Premier League, Crystal Palace finally overtook Chelsea and reached the top of the Premier League.

This is great joy for Crystal Palace.

The fans of Crystal Palace started singing and dancing in South London. They Crystal Palace are going to charge for the Premier League title again. Even many Crystal Palace fans believe that Crystal Palace will really win the Premier League championship this season.

The legendary godfather Tong Yi really didn’t deceive me!

Tong Yi said at the beginning of the season that their goal for Crystal Palace this season is to defend the Premier League championship.

They didn't believe it before, even the media reporters didn't believe it, but what about now?

Despite a poor start to the season, Crystal Palace overtook their city rivals Chelsea and climbed to the top of the Premier League. This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Crystal Palace fans, and it also relieves the pressure and enhances the confidence of the Crystal Palace players.

Next, the Crystal Palace people will have more confidence to face the subsequent games.

There are currently 23 rounds of the league, and there are still 16 rounds to go before it ends. It seems that there are still quite a lot of games. Therefore, at this time, the people in the Crystal Palace really cannot take it lightly and show off their power. With such a long schedule, anything can really happen, so the people of Crystal Palace should try their best and go all out next.

When being interviewed by media reporters, Tong Yi said, "It is indeed a happy thing to reach the top of the Premier League, but it doesn't mean anything? After all, the league still has such a long time, and we are not guaranteed to win the league championship. . Everything in the league is still suspenseful, and our Crystal Palace competitors are very strong. Therefore, if we are complacent at this time, it is very likely that we will lose our top spot in the league in the next round of games."

This is Tong Yi's innermost thoughts. This is not the time to be complacent and show off one's power.

Now is still the time to work hard and actively, and there is no need to be careless at all.

Chelsea’s head coach Mourinho also accepted interviews with media reporters at this time. He said, “First of all, I respectfully

Hi Crystal Palace and congratulations to David! That they were able to overtake us and reach the top of the Premier League in such a difficult situation shows that they are really powerful and are our strongest competitor as Chelsea. This is obviously not good news for us at Chelsea, but we still need their pressure, so that we will be more competitive and we can be more competitive in the Champions League! "

Pattern, this is the pattern!

While your eyes are still limited to the Premier League, Mourinho's eyes have already been set on the Champions League. This is the pattern!

Of course, this also shows that Mourinho really does not take Crystal Palace's overtaking him seriously, and he is still confident.

Therefore, Chelsea fans are really not worried at all at this time. They firmly believe that their Chelsea team can overtake Crystal Palace and reach the top of the Premier League as soon as possible.

Chelsea fans are waiting quietly now.

To be honest, Tong Yi doesn't think Mourinho is bragging!

Chelsea is indeed very strong now, whether it is strength, morale, or state.

If they can continue this state, they really have hope of hitting the league championship, which will put a lot of pressure on Crystal Palace.

After Tong Yi learned of Mourinho's words, he told reporters, "I think Mourinho's words are very correct. Their strength is indeed very strong, and their goal should indeed be to be in the Champions League." , this is their dream. And we will also focus on the Europa League, so everyone is fair!"

Yes, you Chelsea have other games to tie in, and so do we at Crystal Palace.

No one took advantage!

Therefore, this season is really fair for both sides.

However, Tong Yi did feel tremendous pressure. Chelsea's strength here is really good, and Mourinho has rich experience and is difficult to deal with.

Tong Yi did not underestimate Chelsea.

At this time, Tong Yi also said, "The current situation is still very serious, so we don't have to focus on the past games, we have to look forward. Every next game is very critical." Fortunately, my players have gone through such an intensive schedule and they finally have a little rest!"

Next week, Crystal Palace finally no longer has a double match every week, and the players can take a rest.

On the weekend of next week, Crystal Palace will usher in the 24th round of the Premier League this season. Crystal Palace will face newly promoted Leicester City away from home, and will meet Walder again.

However, Vardy’s luck this season is real

Unfortunately, he was seriously injured not long after the start of the season and was reimbursed for the season, and was unable to participate in the remaining games. This is also the reason why Leicester City's current performance is very poor. Leicester City is currently ranked at the bottom of the Premier League, with only 17 points.

This is very uncomfortable for the ambitious Leicester City.

It shows how important Vardy is to this team.

Facing Leicester City again, Tong Yi is still very confident, and this week, Tong Yi gave the Crystal Palace players two days of rest, so that the fatigue of the Crystal Palace players will be relieved to a certain extent. Then in the weekend game, the Crystal Palace people should be easy to deal with. .??.??

After all, the current strength of Leicester City is very poor, and the state and mentality are also very poor. How can such a team stop the victorious team that has just topped the Premier League list?

Therefore, Tong Yi is full of confidence in the game against Leicester City.

At the same time, Crystal Palace players are also full of confidence.

Of course, they will not underestimate Leicester City. After all, Chelsea behind them are still chasing them closely. If they are not careful, Crystal Palace will be overtaken by Chelsea. Therefore, there cannot be any surprises in the Crystal Palace at present. The Crystal Palace players also knew the importance. Tong Yi gave them a day off at this time. Naturally, they did not dare to go out and mess around. They rested at home and prepared for the weekend game.

Tong Yi was very satisfied with this.

If these guys use these two days to party and stay up late at the bar, it will go against the original intention of the holiday, and it will definitely affect the performance of Crystal Palace in the future.

Therefore, for now, Tong Yi is satisfied with the performance of the Crystal Palace players.

After returning from vacation, the Crystal Palace players were all in good spirits and seemed to be in good condition.

During the training, Tong Yi was satisfied with the state shown by these guys, which made Tong Yi full of confidence in the upcoming game.

When going to Leicester, Tong Yi accepted interviews from media reporters.

Tong Yi said: "Currently our Crystal Palace's mental and physical state are very good, and we are confident to defeat any opponent. Although Leicester City is at home, I think our Crystal Palace can still win. If you don't believe it, let's leave. Let’s see!”

Leicester City's obvious lack of confidence is the same for both players and head coach.

It can be seen that the current team's performance does have a great influence on the team.

However, during preparations before the game, Tong Yi reminded the Crystal Palace players from time to time not to underestimate their opponents. The Leicester City team is probably showing weakness to the enemy and deliberately causing misfortune before the game. Therefore, we must pay special attention in this game, and we must not give Leicester

Any opportunity can be taken advantage of.

The Crystal Palace players nodded and said they understood.

Tong Yi is really satisfied. The spirits of his players are really good. They are very satisfied with such players and are very confident in the next game.

On February 7, 2015, Crystal Palace ushered in an away game against Leicester City.

In this game, Tong Yi still made some rotations. Their starting lineup is as follows

edouard

The back four from left to right is Alonso, Rudiger, Van Dijk and Carvajal.

Double defensive midfielder Casemiro and Kante

Single attacking midfielder Goretzka

The front three from left to right Salah, Jimenez and Mane

It can be seen that Tong Yi has rotated some young players, but there has not been much change on the front line, especially the two wingers. These two wingers are very guarded by Tong Yi. With these two people around, Leicester City will not dare to press forward rashly.

After the game started, the Leicester City people obviously wanted to grab a rhythm and start the game, preparing to score at the beginning. However, it is obvious that they have underestimated the strength of the Crystal Palace people. Not long after they pressed forward, they were pushed back by the Crystal Palace players.

In the 11th minute of this game, Crystal Palace scored against Leicester City.

Goretzka in the middle received a pass from midfielder Kante, then quickly pulled the ball and turned and passed directly through Leicester City's defense. Mane, who crossed into the penalty area, easily caught the ball and then pushed past Leicester City's goal with a push, one to zero!

Seeing this, Tong Yi felt relieved. There should be no problems in this game. Win!

Sure enough, in the 24th minute of this game, Crystal Palace got a direct free kick in the frontcourt.

Goretzka, who had previously provided an assist for Mane, stood in front of the football. Facing the opponent's goalkeeper Schmeichel, he curled the ball directly into the upper right corner of the goal. Schmeichel reacted very quickly, but he didn't touch the football at all and could only watch the football fly into the goal.

Goretzka performed very well in this game, shooting and passing in less than half an hour.

Seeing Goretzka's performance, Tong Yi is also very satisfied. He is looking forward to the team's cup results this season.

At the beginning of the second half, Goretzka, Salah and Mane continued to play exquisite cooperation at the front of the penalty area, and then Goretzka easily pushed the football into the empty goal without being defended at the back point.

Three to zero!

De Bruyne, who came on as a substitute in the second half of the second half, also scored a goal, defeating Leicester City 4-0 away from home and winning.
