Legendary Godfather

Although Blackburn is a British Championship team, their strength is quite good. In this game, Crystal Palace's rotation of the lineup will still cause big problems in the eyes of many people.

Is it difficult for the Crystal Palace people to beat Blackburn?

After all, it seems that Blackburn still attaches great importance to this game.

However, what everyone did not expect was that Crystal Palace broke through Blackburn's goal in the 19th minute of the game.

Goretzka in the midfield sent a through ball, directly and accurately penetrated Blackburn's defense. The forward Jimenez used his body to push away the opponent's center back, and faced the attacking goalkeeper and easily succeeded in pushing the ball.

No one expected that Crystal Palace's rotation would be so strong.

Especially Goretzka in the midfield, he organized Crystal Palace's offense very well. .??.

No wonder Bayern Munich is coveting Goretzka and has wanted to introduce Goretzka many times.

However, Goretzka has not yet wanted to go back to Bayern Munich and be on the bench.

Although Goretzka is not the main player in Crystal Palace now, he has many opportunities to play in Crystal Palace.

When De Bruyne was injured in the first half of the season, he was the team's main force and played many games.

Now that De Bruyne has recovered from injury, he has gradually given up his main position. But he also played a lot of games, and he played in almost all cup matches.

Tong Yi did not deceive him.

What Tong Yi said is that De Bruyne focuses on the league, while Goretzka focuses on the cup.

The playing time of the two is almost the same now.

Therefore, Goretzka currently feels that staying in Crystal Palace and playing rotation is much better than returning to Bayern Munich and sitting on the bench.

He is still playing at Crystal Palace.

In the 31st minute of the game, Asensio from the wing sent a precise cross. The ball flew into Blackburn's goal. Jimenez defeated the opponent's center back and grabbed the header. . He directly headed the ball and passed the football to Goretzka who came in behind.

Goretzka didn't wait for the football to hit the ground, volleyed directly sideways, and quickly swept the football into Blackburn's goal.

In the first half of the game, Goretzka had already passed and shot, and he was in very good shape.

Tong Yi saw this and decided to let Goretzka lead the team in the Europa League round of 16.

Yes, the first leg of the 2014-2015 Europa League round of 16 knockout rounds is about to begin.

Just four days after this FA Cup match ended.

Crystal Palace will play Everton away.

Yes, Crystal Palace drew Everton, also from the Premier League, in the round of 16 of the Europa League in the 2014-2015 season.

In the Europa League round of 16 knockout rounds, there is no longer a rule to avoid teams affiliated with the Football Association.

Yes, so the possibility of encountering him at this time is very high.

There are two other games in this season's Europa League round of 16 where teams from the same league are fighting against each other. They are Serie A's Fiorentina versus Roma and La Liga's Villarreal versus Sevilla.

So, this is very common.

But the media reporters in England were still very unhappy.

Because there were only two Premier League teams in the top 16 of the Europa League in the 2014-2015 season, which brought them into trouble. Is your UEFA targeting our Premier League?

Yes, the only Premier League teams that have reached the last 16 of the Europa League this season are Everton and Crystal Palace.

This made many Premier League fans and English media reporters very disappointed and angry.

After all, there are 4 Premier League teams among the top 32 of the Europa League in the 2014-2015 season. They are Everton, Crystal Palace, Arsenal and Liverpool.

However, in the top 32 knockout rounds of the Europa League, Liverpool won 1-0 at home and 0-1 away from home. They drew with Besiktas 1-1 on aggregate and then lost to their opponents 4-5 in a penalty shootout. , was eliminated.

Arsenal lost 1-1 at home and 0-2 away from home, and lost to Fiorentina in Serie A with a total score of 1-3.

Therefore, they have missed the top 16 of this season's Europa League.

This can be regarded as a relatively failed season in the Premier League.

Therefore, British media reporters are very uncomfortable now. What are you, UEFA, going to do? Do our Premier League teams have to meet at this time? Are you afraid that two teams in our Premier League will reach the quarter-finals, then the semi-finals, and finally meet in the final?

Reporters from the British media all felt that this matchup was a bit outrageous.

UEFA really has the traffic password!

UEFA must know that there are deep grudges between Tong Yi and Lukaku, between Crystal Palace and Lukaku, between Ignacio and Lukaku, and between Crystal Palace and Everton. The hatred is inside. At this time, when these two teams meet, it is a proper traffic code.

At this time, Lukaku must be holding back his energy and wanting revenge.

After all, in the last match between Everton and Crystal Palace, Lukaku lost and was humiliated by Tong Yi and Crystal Palace. After the game, Lukaku had already encountered ridicule and humiliation from countless people, and he has not yet completely come out of the shadows.

Now that he has to face Crystal Palace again, Lukaku must be thinking about repaying Crystal Palace and Tong Yi thousands of times.

This game is bound to be very attractive!

In this case, their Europa League games will still attract more attention.

Low?

UEFA's personnel have properly mastered the traffic password!

Yes, they really can't wait. Of course, the more important thing is that they are afraid that the two teams will not be able to advance to the next round together, so it is better to let them meet in advance at this time. Isn't this traffic coming?

To be honest, countless media around the world are reporting on the Europa League knockout match between Crystal Palace and Everton.

At this time, they are going to play two games at once. This must be enough for everyone to watch, right?

Of course, this also gave Lukaku two opportunities!

Lukaku, if you can't beat Tong Yi and Crystal Palace in these two opportunities. Then you are really screwed, and you have failed UEFA's hard work!

Of course, at this time, Tong Yi's attention has not yet been focused on this game.

Tong Yi's attention is still on the game in front of him. As for Everton's recent status and situation, Tong Yi handed this information to Schwartz, and now Schwartz is collecting information from Liverpool. What about Fulton's information?

Moreover, Schwartz has been to Liverpool for a long time, and he has become Everton's secret team reporter. During this period, he went wherever Everton went, collecting information about Everton.

Tong Yi has great confidence in Schwartz and his team, and they will definitely get back the most authentic news.

Therefore, Tong Yi doesn't have to worry about this game at all now.

Tong Yi's attention is now focused on the game in front of him.

To be honest, Blackburn's strength is still very good, even if they conceded two goals, they did not give up. They were still fully committed and were able to cause a lot of trouble for Crystal Palace. Just now they almost scored the Crystal Palace goal.

It reminds Tong Yi that the team in front of him should not be underestimated!

Therefore, he is very serious about leading the team to complete this game. He naturally hopes to defeat his opponent and save effort in this game.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 2-0, with Crystal Palace leading.

But at the end of the first half, Blackburn created a very amazing shot, which almost broke the Crystal Palace goal. If Alisson hadn't performed very well, this goal would have been lost.

Very suspenseful!

During the halftime break, Tong Yi repeatedly reminded the Crystal Palace players to stay focused and not to stray or give the opponent a chance. Otherwise, their Crystal Palace will have to swallow a bitter pill.

Before the first half was about to end, something almost happened to them.

To be honest, the defensive mistake before the end of the first half was a wake-up call for the Crystal Palace players.

. They also put away their contempt during the halftime break and treated the team seriously. They didn't want to be defeated by Black himself at this time.

After the start of the next game, the Crystal Palace people were more committed and more active, which was beyond Black's expectation. So after the start of the second half, they were very entangled and struggling. They seemed to have few chances, and their defense was still in danger.

Blackburn himself knew it. The Crystal Palace people must have straightened their minds during the halftime break. The next game will not be so friendly to Blackburn!

During the halftime break, Blackburn's head coach reminded Blackburn's players to strengthen their offense in the second half and strive to equalize the score as soon as possible, or even overtake the score. However, it was obvious that they underestimated Crystal Palace's strength and intensity in the second half of the game.

This was completely different from when the first half of the game was about to end. Black frowned when they saw this. They felt that this game was difficult for them.

Even the media reporters on the sidelines felt the same way.

Facing such a Crystal Palace team, Blackburn cannot say that there is no chance at all, but the chance is really slim.

The Crystal Palace didn't give Black himself any chance to take advantage of it!

After the start of the second half, Crystal Palace's high pressure suffocated Black himself. Not to mention offense, their defense is somewhat unorganized. Under the crazy pressure of the Crystal Palace players, the players made many mistakes in their passing, and some players even passed the football directly to the feet of the Crystal Palace players.

Danger, Blackburn is really dangerous.

In the 22nd minute of the second half, Goretzka broke through two defensive players in the middle and divided the football. After Sane received the ball on the wing, he immediately swung his legs and pretended to cross, and then smashed the ball directly into the penalty area. After attracting the defense, he suddenly swept the football into Blackburn's small penalty area with a sweeping kick. Asensio, who rushed up from behind, directly slid and shot the football into Blackburn's goal.

Three to zero, Crystal Palace had basically secured the victory at this time.

Blackburn was immediately discouraged after seeing this goal conceded. They kept shaking their heads. They really thought of Crystal Palace too simply!

However, in the 31st minute of the second half, Black himself broke through the Crystal Palace goal and pulled a goal back. This time they saw hope of equalizing the score!

But 5 minutes later, Crystal Palace's substitute forward Torres intervened in Goretzka's through ball. Then he passed the opponent's center back with one stop and then directly faced the opponent's goalkeeper with a heavy shot. Shot the football into the far corner of the goal.

Four to one, Crystal Palace still defeated its opponent and won the game.
