155: A very different goal than before

Three days later, on January 7, 2017, Yuan Zhen led Crystal Palace to an away game against Bolton.

This is Crystal Palace's first opponent in the FA Cup this season.

To be honest, there should be no suspense in this game.

Because Bolton is not very strong.

Bolton are no longer the Bolton they used to be. Since Bolton were relegated from the Premier League in the 2011-2012 seasons, they have been struggling in the English Championship. Even last season, they finished last in the English Championship and were directly relegated to the English Championship. League A.

Bolton are currently playing in League One and are a League One team.

Although, their current performance in English League One is not bad, with 50 points in 25 rounds, and they are currently ranked second in English League One, only 3 points behind the top Sheffield United. But they are always a League One team, and their strength is still incomparable to the strong teams in the Premier League.

Moreover, Crystal Palace is not an ordinary Premier League team.

Crystal Palace is currently the second-best team in the Premier League and the only unbeaten team in the Premier League this season. It is also the defending champion of the Premier League this season. .??.

Can Bolton Wanderers beat such a strong Premier League team?

Obviously, Bolton won't have many chances in this game.

Even media reporters think so.

Webster also knows very well that there is indeed a problem in Crystal Palace now. The team is led by Yuan Zhen, a young man with no experience, but Crystal Palace's strength and heritage are there, and it is relatively easy to deal with a team from League One.

And even if Yuan Zhen is in charge of the team, Tong Yi is controlling it from behind.

Therefore, Bolton should have no chance in this game.

Moreover, Webster and the others did not focus on this game.

To be honest, the outcome of this game does not matter to Crystal Palace. Webster and the others were focused on Crystal Palace's league results, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Seriously, it would be great if Tong Yi's suspension was all from the Premier League.

Webster and the others really felt very unhappy!

If Tong Yi is banned from participating in a few more Premier League games, Crystal Palace will definitely collapse this season.

Unfortunately, they can't wait now.

Damn it, the FA, why did they only impose the best penalty on one game?

They were very dissatisfied.

Bolton didn't pay much attention to this. As for Yuan Zhen or Tong Yi, to be honest, they didn't particularly care. Because no matter who they face, they have to face the Crystal Palace. With the current lineup of Crystal Palace, even if Yuan Zhen is allowed to lead the team, Bolton's chances of winning are not high.

This is a gap in player lineup strength that is difficult to erase.

Moreover, to be honest, Bolton does not attach great importance to the FA Cup.

For them, this FA Cup match is actually dispensable. Apart from getting a small bonus, it has no meaning.

After all, the only goal of the Bolton team now is the league!

Bolton hope to be promoted successfully this season, leave the English League One, return to the English Championship, and even compete in the Premier League.

Therefore, the league is fundamental.

Bolton's only goal is league promotion.

If they spend too much energy in cup competitions such as the FA Cup or League Cup, this will have a huge impact on their league.

The league schedule is already very long and there are a lot of games. If some cup games are added, it will really consume a lot of money for the team. After all, there are 46 rounds in the English League One season alone. There are too many games. The players are already working hard and there is a lot of fatigue accumulation.

It will be even more difficult if more is expended in so-called cup competitions.

Therefore, Bolton actually does not attach much importance to this game.

This game is destined to be a loss for Bolton, and Webster and the others will naturally not pay attention to it.

At this time, Webster and the others also discovered a problem.

That means Crystal Palace has indeed accumulated some foundation now.

These foundations are not a gap that teams in English League One and League Two can overcome. They have to admit that Crystal Palace is now becoming more and more like a wealthy team in the Premier League.

Tong Yi, a Chinese soft-boiled man, really has two skills!

If you think about it carefully, how many years has it been since Tong Yi, a Chinese bastard, came to the Crystal Palace?

hiss!

I dare not think about it!

However, for now, Webster still feels that there is no way for Crystal Palace to win the Premier League title this season. After all, Crystal Palace is definitely going to collapse, and Chelsea's results this season are also very good, and their form is also very good. It will be difficult for Crystal Palace to surpass Chelsea.

Therefore, Webster still insists on his opinion that Crystal Palace will collapse.

However, there are also many media reporters who do not agree with Webster's views at all.

This is the camp of media reporters headed by Adriana. They all feel that Crystal Palace is still very strong throughout the season, but there are no signs of collapse.

Half of this season has passed, are you media reporters still doubting it?

Yes, this season Crystal Palace has left Mane, Sane, Laporte, Milinkovic-Savic and others. However, did Mbappe, Sabitzer, Llorente and Rudiger who came over this season perform poorly?

Is Ibrahimovic's performance worse this season than Balotelli's last season?

Obviously not!

These people have taken over the people who left there very well and performed very well. Why do you still look down on others and think they can't support the Crystal Palace? Why should they collapse?

Therefore, Webster's so-called gaze is groundless, and he is just blindly beeping.

Anyway, Adriana and the others believe that Crystal Palace is very likely to defend the Premier League title this season.

Tong Yi's vision cannot be questioned.

If you look at the performance of Ibrahimovic, Mbappe and others this season, do you still think they will overturn?

During this period, many media reporters and fans did support Crystal Palace. They all felt that Crystal Palace was still strong. Of course, whether Crystal Palace can win the Premier League championship depends on Chelsea's face.

After the coaching change this season, Chelsea is indeed very strong, unexpectedly.

Everyone originally thought that Manchester City was still the strongest competitor to Crystal Palace this season. Little did they know that it would turn out to be Chelsea that they didn't expect. This was really beyond their expectations.

This Conte really has something.

However, Chelsea seems to be having some problems at the moment, and is starting to show signs of declining performance.

If Conte cannot adjust in time at this time and curb the downward trend, it is very likely that Crystal Palace will not collapse, but Chelsea will collapse first.

Therefore, at this time, it is best for Chelsea to stabilize themselves.

There is still a big chance for Crystal Palace.

At least Crystal Palace fans have no doubt about the Crystal Palace team. They believe in Tong Yi and believe that Tong Yi can lead them to victory and glory.

Of course, in this game, Tong Yi has no way to appear on the sidelines.

Even this time, Tong Yi did not go to the away game, but stayed at the club.

Tong Yi is here at the club to visit Ignacio's recovery training to see how this guy is recovering? When can I practice with the team?

To be honest, Tong Yi is really concerned about Ignacio's affairs.

Ignacio is currently recovering well. It will take at most two weeks before he can fully recover and be able to train with the team. Tong Yi was very happy about this.

After visiting Ignacio, Tong Yi still found time to fly to Italy.

After all, he hadn't seen Martina and his daughter Tongtong for some time, so he flew for a day, stayed in Italy for a day, and then flew back to England to continue leading the team in games.

After all, the game is the most important thing now!

In the competition, Tong Yi was completely handed over to Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen led the team to the away game, and they directed this game.

To be honest, the opponents in this game are indeed not as strong as them. Yuan Zhen has rotated the team, and the main players of the team need to rest. There have been a lot of games recently.

In this game, Yuan Zhen sent out a full substitute lineup, which should be enough to deal with Bolton.

Even though Bolton saw Crystal Palace's entire substitute lineup coming out, they actually didn't bother. At first, they felt that even if they faced Crystal Palace's substitute lineup, Bolton would not have many chances. Secondly, Bolton has never thought about going one step further in the FA Cup.

Bolton don't want to be too involved in the cup competition.

Therefore, in this game, Bolton seemed to give up.

This is a good thing for Yuan Zhen. If they encounter someone who doesn't resist, they will naturally win easily.

In this case, the pressure on Yuan Zhen will be much less.

During this period, Yuan Zhen was under considerable pressure. The voices of doubt and criticism from the outside world are very loud, and they don't even care.

Beating Bolton today was a great way to de-stress.

Yuan Zhen had no doubt that Crystal Palace would win this game.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace opened the door to victory.

After Llorente received a cross from midfielder Sabitzer at the front of the penalty area, he fired a long shot directly into Bolton's goal, helping the team take the lead.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Sabitzer sent a precise through ball in the midfield, which directly penetrated Bolton's defense. Perisic, who cut inside, dunked the ball past the defender, and then volleyed the ball into the near corner. The football flew quickly into Bolton's goal.

Two to zero, Crystal Palace secured victory early.

In the 17th minute of the second half, Asensio on the forward line received a pass from midfielder Sabitzer and suddenly lobbed a shot into the far corner from the corner of the penalty area. Bolton goalkeeper Ben Arnwick looked back at the moon. Could only watch as the football crashed into his deep goal.

Three to zero, Asensio scored a world wave.

This was not the last goal scored by Crystal Palace in this game. It came in the 33rd minute of the second half. Crystal Palace played a wonderful cooperation. After passing 18 consecutive shots, Perisic in the penalty area received a pass from Asensio at the back point and directly hit the empty goal.

Crystal Palace easily defeated Bolton Wanderers 4-0 and successfully advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.

This goal is different from Crystal Palace’s previous goals. There were a lot of passes in this attack. In the past, Crystal Palace scored goals with a few indirect passes. This is really one of Crystal Palace’s goals. Alien.
