Legendary Godfather

Crystal Palace defeated West Ham United, Liverpool also reversed Norwich City 3-2 in an away game without any danger, Arsenal and Manchester City both defeated their opponents, only Chelsea overturned at home.

Chelsea lost 1-2 at home to Sunderland, and they seemed to be falling behind.

Now that the league has reached a critical moment, what matters is who can persevere and who can bear it.

After the 35 rounds of the 2013-2014 Premier League season, the standings are as follows

At the top of the list is Liverpool, whose record is 25 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, with 80 points.

Ranked second is Crystal Palace, with a record of 26 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses, and 79 points.

Ranked third is Chelsea, with a record of 23 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, with 75 points.

Ranked fourth is Manchester City, with a record of 23 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, with 74 points.

Ranked fifth is Arsenal, with a record of 21 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, and 70 points.

Ranked sixth is Everton, whose record is 20 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses, with 69 points.

Ranked seventh is Tottenham, with a record of 19 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses, with 63 points.

Ranked eighth is Manchester City, with a record of 18 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses, with 60 points.

Now, the competition for the top spot in the Premier League is very fierce. Crystal Palace is still only 1 point away from the top spot, Liverpool. This gap is very small, and we can overtake in one round.

Of course, it is very difficult for a team as stable as Liverpool to lose.

However, in the following games, Crystal Palace also had a direct dialogue with Liverpool.

If Crystal Palace can win this game, then Crystal Palace can reverse Liverpool, reach the top of the Premier League, and even win the 2013-2014 Premier League championship.

Of course, at this time, Chelsea and Manchester City failed to hold on!

In these three rounds, they lost one game and were separated by some points from the previous two teams.

Currently, Chelsea is already 5 points behind Liverpool.

With the last three rounds of the league remaining, it is almost difficult for Chelsea to catch up with Liverpool.

Chelsea have all but lost their chance to compete for the Premier League title.

Unless Liverpool loses at least two games in the following games, and Crystal Palace also loses two games, Chelsea will have a chance to win the Premier League championship this season.

This is almost impossible!

However, don’t they still have theoretical hope?

Manchester City's situation is even worse than Chelsea's.

Therefore, the Premier League champion this season should be born between Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

Now what we have to see is who can communicate directly with them.

Victory in a game?

However, Manchester City and Chelsea actually still have hope.

Because in the next 36th round of the Premier League, that is, in the next round, Manchester City will face Crystal Palace away from home, while Chelsea will face Liverpool away from home. If both teams defeat their opponents in this game, then they still have a great chance.

Coupled with the direct dialogue between Liverpool and Crystal Palace later, the chances of these two teams still look great.

However, it is obvious that whether these two teams want to win the championship depends on the faces of Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

They only have a chance if Crystal Palace and Liverpool give them a chance.

Therefore, it is still relatively difficult for these two teams at the moment.

The competition for the Premier League title this season has also entered a fierce stage.

However, Tong Yi is not considering the game against Manchester City on the weekend.

What Tong Yi is thinking about now is the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals against La Liga team Sevilla in midweek. This game is equally important to Crystal Palace and cannot be taken lightly.

In this game, Crystal Palace is playing away from home, so now they have gone to Spain.

Already arrived in Seville!

When Tong Yi and the others checked into the hotel where they were staying, Tong Yi was blocked by media reporters.

Facing media reporters, Tong Yi said: "Sevilla is a very strong team, and now they have put all their attention on the Europa League. For us, Crystal Palace, It’s a lot of pressure!”

Yes, Sevilla is basically flat in the league now.

For them, the league is no longer important. After all, they are too far away from the top of the league, trailing by as much as 26 points. Although they are not very far away from fourth place in the league, Athletic Bilbao in front of them did not give them any chance. They almost couldn't get fourth place in the league.

Therefore, instead of consuming energy in the league, it is better to complete the victory in one battle and win the Europa League championship.

Now, this is what Emery planned and did.

In the league, Sevilla almost always rotates, and the main players get more time to rest and recuperate.

However, the strength of other teams in La Liga is indeed relatively poor. Even so, Sevilla has won three consecutive victories in the league.

Therefore, Sevilla is in very good shape recently and should not be underestimated.

Tong Yi continued, "Sevilla is in very good shape now, and this game is Sevilla's home court, which is very difficult for us at Crystal Palace. This is a difficult game. Seville

Asia's chances of winning are very high. "

The media reporters at the scene nodded one after another and felt that Tong Yi was right.

In this game, Sevilla has a very good chance of winning. Crystal Palace has no chance. It can be seen that you, a Chinese soft-boiled man, are still somewhat self-aware!

Sevilla must win this game!

To be honest, Tong Yi takes this game very seriously.

This Sevilla team is indeed very capable.

What's more important is that Sevilla's head coach Emery is very good, and he has built this Sevilla team very well. More importantly, in Tong Yi's memory, Sevilla did win the final Europa League championship this season.

Even in the next two seasons, Sevilla will win the Europa League championship and directly complete the great achievement of three consecutive Europa League championships. Single-handedly turned the Europa League into the Sevilla Cup and Emery Cup.

Moreover, after this guy Emery later went to Villarreal, he also led the team to win the final Europa League championship with an undefeated record.

Emery has also won the Europa League four times.

No wonder some people call the Europa League the Emery Cup.

At this time, Tong Yi naturally did not dare to underestimate Emery and his Sevilla.

Tong Yi is naturally very cautious and careful now, and even looks up to the Sevilla people a little.

Tong Yi also said, "Of course, we will definitely not admit defeat in this game. Although I know this game will be very difficult, and it will be very difficult to win Sevilla away from home. But we will not give up. Yes, we will try our best to keep the suspense in the second round, so that Crystal Palace can have a chance to advance to the Europa League final!"

The media reporters nodded one after another, feeling that Tong Yi was not as arrogant as the English media had boasted.

It seems that Tong Yi was also intimidated by Sevilla's amazing strength.

Look, the second-placed team in the Premier League is actually afraid of the fifth-placed team in La Liga. This shows that our La Liga is much stronger than the Premier League. Our La Liga is the number one league in the world.

At this time, the Spanish media are naturally looking forward to Sevilla defeating Crystal Palace and showing the style of the world's number one league team.

Sevilla must win this game.

After saying this, Tong Yi said nothing more and walked directly into the hotel without accepting any further interviews.

To be honest, Spanish media reporters are still a little uncomfortable.

Because they still have many questions they want to ask, but this guy Tong Yi just left like this. He really didn't give them any face, which made them very unhappy.

but

, they have no choice.

They are now looking forward to Sevilla's victory over Crystal Palace at their home court and the spirit of killing this guy Tong Yi.

As for Sevilla, Emery also accepted interviews from media reporters.

Facing reporters, Emery said: "Crystal Palace is a very strong team. Don't be deceived by their status as a newly promoted team. It's even worse to be deceived by the Chinese people's low profile before the game. Tong Yi This guy is definitely not an easy guy to deal with, he is really powerful! If we underestimate them, we will fall into Tong Yi's trap!"

Yes, Emery is still very sober despite dealing with these media reporters.

Emery still has three stacks of Crystal Palace information on his desk.

He is very aware of the strength of Crystal Palace, and he will not despise Crystal Palace just because of Tong Yi's words. On the contrary, he also attaches great importance to Crystal Palace. It is believed that Crystal Palace is the team that poses the greatest threat to Sevilla among the semi-finals. Only by overcoming the hurdle of Crystal Palace can Sevilla win the final championship.

Emery will naturally not underestimate Crystal Palace at this time.

Emery also said, "Crystal Palace is really not a team that everyone can beat. Even if we encounter them in Sevilla, we dare not say that we can beat them 100%. This Crystal Palace has become a team under the leadership of Tong Yi." A top team, if we make a slight mistake, we will definitely lose this game. Therefore, in this game, we in Sevilla must go all out and take it seriously!"

Emery really attaches great importance to Crystal Palace and Tong Yi.

This made the Spanish media reporters very unhappy and speechless. What are you, Emery, afraid of?

Crystal Palace is just a newly promoted team!

Moreover, Crystal Palace is also the least favored team among the semi-finals of the Europa League. How can you, Sevilla, the favorite to win the championship, be afraid of Crystal Palace?

Sevilla must win this game!

They felt that Emery was showing weakness to the enemy and paralyzing the Crystal Palace team.

However, in their view, with the strength of Sevilla and Crystal Palace, Emery does not need to show weakness to the enemy. You can directly defeat the opponent.

Anyway, Emery's message in an interview with media reporters before the game made the media reporters very unhappy, and even made the Sevilla fans a little unhappy. They all feel that Emery is being overly cautious. Is this necessary when playing against a team like Crystal Palace?

Aren't you using a cannon to kill mosquitoes?

However, Emery had no refutation of this. His main energy now is spent on unifying the players' minds. He asked the Sevilla players not to underestimate Crystal Palace, which is very strong.

If their Sevilla mentality is slightly broken, this game will be dangerous!
