Legendary Godfather

Garner looked at Tong Yi and suddenly asked, "Do you know what the first task of the two of them is after taking over the team?"

Tong Yi was a little confused, thought for a moment, and then shook his head slightly.

Garner said directly, "The first goal of both of them after taking over the team is to lead the team to promotion to the English League Three!"

At that time, the Premier League had not yet been established. League One was the top league of English football, and League Three was the third tier of English football.

Tong Yi now somewhat believes everything Ghana said before.

Crystal Palace and Brighton were almost the same clubs at the time, and their strengths were almost the same. Even their geographical location in England was almost the same. Moreover, both teams were in the English League Three and both had the same goal, to be promoted to the English League Two. .

Isn’t this a natural competitive platform for the two to compete?

Almost the same, with the same strength, Venables might really want to lead Crystal Palace and have a fair and just comparison with Muleri, who leads Brighton. Venables just wants to prove to the world that he, Venables, is no worse than Mullery, or even better than Mullery! .??.

Tong Yi feels that he appreciates Venables a little bit.

It can also be seen that Mullery has almost become a demon for Venables.

After all, they played in the same position back then and were absolute mortal enemies and competitors in the England national team. Venables was only selected for the England national team in 1964, leading the team to two appearances. Mullery was a regular player for the England national team for seven years from 1964 to 1971, making a total of 35 appearances for the seventh team.

Later at Tottenham Hotspur, Muleri still suppressed him. Muleri was the captain and he could only be the vice-captain. Even the fans liked Muleri more and regarded him as the captain. Spiritual leader.

This Venables must be holding back some energy!

After all, when he first debuted, Venables made more statements than Mullery. At that time, the outside world was more optimistic about him than Mullery. But what happened next?

He is not convinced!

He always thought that he was better than Mullery!

Mullery is just a guy who joined Tottenham Hotspur two years earlier than him. If he had joined Tottenham Hotspur two years before Mullery, he would have been in the England national team. Yes, he should also be the captain of Tottenham Hotspur, and the leader of the dressing room in the eyes of the fans!

He Venables is no worse than Mullery!

Therefore, after learning that Muleri was about to become the head coach of Brighton, in order to prove that he was not as good as Muleri and to clear his name, Venables found the senior management of Crystal Palace and then became the head coach of Crystal Palace. !

He wants revenge, he wants to clear his name!

Tong Yi instantly figured out the plot and Venables' state of mind. \u003c

br\u003e

From this point of view, what Garner said before is not unreasonable.

Tong Yi suddenly asked, "What about the final result? Did these two people achieve their goals?"

Garner immediately said, "Although neither team won the league championship that season, they both completed their tasks and led their respective teams to upgrade to the English League Two."

Tong Yi nodded slightly, it seems that these two people still have some strength.

He is really capable and lucky to be able to lead the team to the second tier of English league just after retiring!

Tong Yi suddenly asked, "When these two teams compete directly in the league, the excitement of the game should be very intense, right?"

Garner nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it was very hot! Whether it was the fight between the coaches and fans of both teams before and after the game, or the real game in the stadium, the atmosphere was very hot. It is said that before the game, Fans from both sides had physical conflicts after the game, and the words of the head coaches of both teams before and after the game were also full of explosiveness."

Tong Yi can imagine it.

Garner continued, "Also, I heard my father say that Crystal Palace and Brighton played a total of 5 times that season!"

Tong Yi was very shocked. How could there be so many fights?

Garner said, "We played twice in the league and three times in the FA Cup!"

Tong Yi frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and then said, "Three times? Could it be that the FA Cup was two rounds and there was no penalty shootout?"

Garner immediately gave Tong Yi a thumbs up and praised Tong Yi for being smart!

Garner said, "Yes, the FA Cup was two rounds at that time, and there were no penalty kicks or away goals. The winner had to be decided. If there was no winner, there would be extra games!"

Tong Yi nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Garner continued, "The first leg was 2-2 and the second leg was 1-1. The third leg was played at the neutral Stamford Bridge home stadium of Chelsea. This game was rescheduled twice due to bad weather."

Hearing this, Tong Yi couldn't help but be speechless. This is simply more cinematic than a movie.

Garner continued, "There were many misjudgments and misjudgments in this game. Brighton had the advantage and was very likely to win. However, a Brighton goal was disallowed and the signal was invalid. After that They got another penalty kick, and the first one was scored, but the referee signaled that it would not count because a Crystal Palace player entered the penalty area early and asked for a re-take. Then the Crystal Palace goalkeeper made a great contribution and converted Brighton's second penalty kick. I pounced, and in the end Crystal Palace beat Brighton 1-0!"

hiss!

Just hearing what Garner said calmly, Tong Yi felt the turmoil in this game.

At that time, one can imagine how excited the fans from both sides were.

Garner continued: "After the game, Crystal Palace fans in the stands near the players' tunnel threw scalding coffee on Muleri, and it hit him. It is said that the furious Muleri immediately took it out of his pocket. Throwing £5 into the stands and shouting 'That's what you're worth'!"

Tong Yi realized that a fierce conflict must have broken out after the game.

Sure enough, Garner said, "After the game, fans from both sides broke into violent physical conflicts, and the scene was quite tragic. Mullery also madly criticized the referee, criticized the Crystal Palace fans, and even criticized his former teammate Venables. "

After the game, Brighton fans naturally hated the Crystal Palace people. Fans of the two teams couldn't stand each other, and physical conflicts often broke out. The feud between the two teams became deeper and deeper.

Muleri is also one of the most hated coaches by Crystal Palace fans because this guy dares to mock and humiliate them so much.

Garner continued, "Who would have thought that a few years later, Muleri would become the head coach of Crystal Palace. The fans of Crystal Palace were naturally very dissatisfied. They boycotted Muleri and refused to go to watch the Crystal Palace game. During the two seasons he coached Crystal Palace, the team’s home attendance was extremely low!”

After saying this, Garner glanced at Tong Yi cautiously.

Tong Yi sneered softly. It seems that it is a traditional skill for Crystal Palace fans to refuse to watch the game live! No wonder when he took over the team, Crystal Palace fans claimed that they would not go to watch the game at home.

Now, Tong Yi is not surprised at all.

Tong Yi immediately asked, "What happened next?"

Garner said, "Later, Venables coached at Crystal Palace until 1980, and Mullery coached at Brighton until 1981. In these years, the atmosphere of the game between Crystal Palace and Brighton was very heated, and the fans of both sides They also had many conflicts, and even many conflicts broke out between the two sides in the stadium. The 23rd Derby became famous all over the world!"

Tong Yi nodded slightly, not expecting that there was such an interesting story in it.

Garner continued, "The matches between Brighton and Crystal Palace after that were like sparks hitting the earth, and the fans on both sides were like life-and-death enemies. In a 1989 League Two match, Crystal Palace played against Brighton, and the referee was on duty. Kevin Morton awarded 5 penalty kicks in the whole game. Especially in the 5 minutes before the end of the half, he awarded Crystal Palace three consecutive penalty kicks, but all three Crystal Palace players missed the penalty kick!"

Tong Yi raised his eyebrows, what kind of fairy tale is this?

Garner continued: “In the end, Crystal Palace, who had one more person to fight, was still

Defeated Brighton 2-1, but obviously this caused dissatisfaction and anger among Brighton fans. It is said that conflicts broke out after the game, and the referee Morton also received a lot of death threats..."

Tong Yi nodded slightly, he could imagine it.

Garner said, "And whenever Crystal Palace and Brighton meet in a game, there are a lot of little moves between the two teams, and the fans on both sides are also very excited. The grudges between the two teams are too deep. It is said that Crystal Palace once went to During away games, the visiting team’s locker room was full of feces…”

hiss!

Tong Yi took a deep breath.

This Brighton really doesn't go to extremes. Of course, Tong Yi also knew that Crystal Palace would not show weakness.

No wonder the 23rd Road Derby is so famous.

No wonder Crystal Palace fans have been so restless recently.

It seems that they are impatient and want to fight with Brighton!

The last time the two sides met was last year, in the English Championship last season, when Crystal Palace drew 1-1 with Brighton at home. In the first round of last season, Crystal Palace defeated Brighton 3-1 away from home, and Crystal Palace still had the advantage.

After all, Brighton is a newly promoted team that just won the English League Championship in the 2010-2011 season and was promoted to the English Championship.

No wonder they couldn't beat Crystal Palace last season.

However, Brighton's strength has improved this season. They are now ranked seventh in the Championship, only one point away from the promotion zone.

Brighton will definitely be more confident when facing Crystal Palace this season.

Therefore, in the upcoming game, Brighton people definitely want to have a fight with Crystal Palace.

Brighton are no worse than Crystal Palace.

Garner reminded, "Boss, we must not only pay attention to factors on the field, but also factors off the field. Brighton people will not be so disciplined!"

Hearing this, Tong Yi nodded slightly to express his understanding.

After all, Brighton people are capable of being ruthless enough to smear faeces in the visiting team's dressing room, so it's reasonable for these guys to do some extra-game moves.

Now Tong Yi is paying more attention to the upcoming 23rd Road Derby. Crystal Palace cannot lose this game!

If he loses this game, who knows what the public opinion will be like after the game?

This game must be taken seriously and seriously.

Moreover, Tong Yi also had to remind the Crystal Palace players that they could not continue to sink like this. The next game is a tough battle, you must go all out!
