173: The highlight of this round of Premier League: London Derby

With an easy 4-0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv, Crystal Palace has basically entered the last 16 of the Europa League.

In the second round of the match between the two sides, the pressure on Crystal Palace will be much less.

After the game, Tong Yi said, "I am very satisfied with this result. To be honest, my players overfulfilled their tasks. They performed very well and I am proud of it. This made us Crystal Palace better in the second round." With more choices, the pressure will be much less.”

Of course, at this time, Tong Yi still cares about the game against Arsenal.

This game is very important. Crystal Palace must win, otherwise they will be knocked off the top of the league by Chelsea.

Because in this round of games, Chelsea faced newly promoted Burnley at their home court.

Burnley's team is very weak. It should be very easy for Chelsea to defeat them. Therefore, Chelsea can definitely get three points in this round. If the Crystal Palace people can't get three points, won't Crystal Palace be surpassed by Chelsea?

Therefore, in this game, Crystal Palace must go all out.

Crystal Palace fans are naturally very aware of the importance of this game to them. A few days before the game, they cheered for Crystal Palace crazily, hoping that Crystal Palace could show their best strength in this game. , won this game.

Winning is really important for Crystal Palace.

On the Chelsea side, Mourinho said to the media reporters, "This round of competition is an opportunity for our Chelsea team, because Crystal Palace will usher in the North and South London derby in this round of competition. Arsenal's strength It’s not bad. It’s very difficult for Crystal Palace to defeat them! And what about us at Chelsea? If we beat Burnley, we can easily win! This round of games is the best time for our Chelsea to overtake Crystal Palace.”

Chelsea fans think so too, and they also think this is their best chance for Chelsea.

Even Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger thinks so.

Wenger said, "I think Mourinho still has some vision. Our Arsenal team is very well prepared for this round of games. I am confident that we can defeat our opponent Crystal Palace and win. Of course, Crystal Palace's strength They are very strong, and David is also very capable. But what should I say? Sorry, they were unlucky and faced our Arsenal. It is absolutely impossible for our Arsenal to let them win at Crystal Palace."

Did you see that Arsenal is full of confidence?

Wenger seems to have been prepared in advance and made very detailed preparations for this game. Otherwise, he would not have dared to say such big words before the game.

To be honest, at this time, countless media reporters focused their attention on this game.

The London Derby is very attractive.

Of course, at this time, media reporters also interviewed Arsenal players.

Koscielny said in an interview: "Of course, Crystal Palace is still very strong. We cannot regard them as dark horses. Their abilities are outstanding and their condition is also very good. This is very important for our Arsenal." It is also a big challenge for us. But before that, we have prepared everything and we are full of confidence against Crystal Palace.”

I don't know if this is true, but Koscielny seems really confident.

Arsenal fans are full of expectations for this game.

This game is naturally very important for Crystal Palace, and more importantly, it is also very difficult.

Before the game, Tong Yi said, "This will definitely be a very difficult game. Our opponent Arsenal is very strong and they are also experienced. Our Crystal Palace will definitely be under full pressure in this game where we cannot lose." , Wenger will definitely make a fuss about this. Therefore, this game should be very difficult for us at Crystal Palace."

Yes, Tong Yi is a little worried now.

Tong Yi naturally asked Schwartz to collect a lot of information about Arsenal, especially the recent information.

To be honest, Arsenal's recent situation is still very good and has been greatly improved.

At this stage, Arsenal is on a steady rise and seems to have returned to the ranks of the top teams in the Premier League. Moreover, it seems that Arsenal fans have a lot less complaints about Wenger. Gradually, Wenger seems to be regaining trust.

More importantly, Arsenal's players have been in very good shape recently.

None of this is good news for Crystal Palace.

Tong Yi knew that this game was obviously more difficult to win. Therefore, Tong Yi is now very involved and very active. He also asked Diana Dephne and others to adjust the mental and physical state of the Crystal Palace players as much as possible to prevent their bodies from getting too tired.

To be honest, there have been so many games in Crystal Palace recently, and the schedule is very complicated. The physical fitness and energy of the Crystal Palace players have been depleted very quickly.

No wonder, at this time, many media reporters said that the biggest difficulty of Crystal Palace is the schedule!

This schedule is really unfriendly to Crystal Palace.

However, for now, Crystal Palace is still performing very well and has not yet been affected by such a difficult schedule. However, it is very likely that it will be affected next.

Before the game, Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger had already

He shouted a winning slogan.

Therefore, the next game against Arsenal will be very difficult.

During this time, Tong Yi has spent a lot of time adjusting the mental state of the Crystal Palace players during training, making the Crystal Palace players confident and fully prepared for the next game.

At this time, the Crystal Palace people neither underestimated nor overly worried about their opponents, and treated them with a normal attitude.

Seeing the current state of Crystal Palace, Tong Yi is still very confident.

Your Arsenal is well prepared, and our Crystal Palace is not bad either. Arsenal may not be able to take advantage of this game. Crystal Palace must win this game.

Before the game, when facing reporters, Tong Yi said, "We are ready for this game. I believe my players can win. In this game, we at Crystal Palace will not give Chelsea Given any chance, our Crystal Palace will definitely win!"

Hearing Tong Yi's words, the Crystal Palace fans were very excited and excited. They all cheered for Tong Yi crazily. They also believed that Tong Yi would not talk nonsense. In this game, their Crystal Palace will definitely win!

Obviously, the Arsenal fans didn't think so. They mocked the Crystal Palace fans one after another, claiming that Crystal Palace would never win this game.

Arsenal must win this game!

No one expected that Rogers would step in at this moment.

Rogers said directly: "What I want to remind Wenger is, don't underestimate this guy Tongyi. Crystal Palace is very strong. If you are not serious, you will probably lose this game. Be serious." You must be proactive and serious, and don’t lose to Crystal Palace!”

To be honest, what Rodgers said made Arsenal fans a little dissatisfied.

What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Will Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace?

impossible!

Also, why haven't you finished class yet, Rogers? Did Liverpool pardon you? Do you, Liverpool, still want to win the Premier League title this season? What a joke!

Yes, so far, there has been no news from Liverpool about firing Rogers.

On the contrary, judging from the training in recent days, it seems that Rogers' position is quite stable. It seems that Liverpool's senior management has no plans to replace Rogers at this time!

This was beyond the expectations of many people and no one expected it.

Liverpool fans are very dissatisfied. If you don't fire such a rubbish coach, why would you keep him? Keep it for the New Year? Liverpool fans were very dissatisfied with this. They targeted Liverpool's senior management and frantically criticized the senior management to express their dissatisfaction.

However, Liverpool seems to still have

I really don't care what these fans think, they still have no intention of firing Rogers.

This is also beyond Tong Yi's expectation. Is Rogers' life so hard?

Of course, Tong Yi didn't pay much attention to this matter. His main focus was still on the upcoming league.
