Legendary Godfather

Winning the English League Cup is already a thing of the past. We can't indulge in it, let alone affect the subsequent games. Even after winning the championship, Crystal Palace did not give the Crystal Palace players a holiday.

Because the league is following closely, the 28th round of the Premier League will be held soon.

There are really fewer and fewer competitions now!

So far, there are only 11 rounds of Premier League games left. By this time, naturally there cannot be any mistakes in every game.

After all, Crystal Palace is not far ahead of Chelsea now, and the result can be changed in one game.

Therefore, at this time, Tong Yi really cannot underestimate any opponent.

Tong Yi takes every opponent very seriously.

In the next game, Crystal Palace's opponent is not weak. They are Southampton.

This season, Southampton is really aiming for the European War next season. Their strength cannot be underestimated, and it can even be said to be very powerful.

How could Tong Yi give the Crystal Palace players a holiday at this time?

When Tong Yi faced the media reporters, he said, "The League Cup championship is in the past. Let him go in the past. We have to look forward now. Southampton is very strong and we want to defeat them easily." It’s very difficult, very very difficult!”

This is not a compliment by Tong Yi to the Southamptonians. Their results this season are very good.

Now they are fighting to qualify for next season's European competition.

Although Southamptonians had a slight problem some time ago, they have dealt with it well and are on the rise again. At this time, Crystal Palace still needs to be careful when facing them.

Tong Yi also said, "Of course, the League Cup final still has a great impact on us. Our players fought too hard in that game. It is obvious that our Crystal Palace needs to rotate in this game. !”

It can be seen that Tong Yi is still worried about the physical condition of the Crystal Palace players, so he is preparing to rotate in the upcoming game and let the main rotation players come and play.

This is good news for Southamptonians. In this case, the Crystal Palace they face will be weaker. Their chances of victory increased, and they were happy.

Southampton head coach Koeman said in an interview, "Crystal Palace is indeed a very good presence in our Premier League. They have just won three consecutive English League Cups. This is really a shocking result. They It was really too much. David is also very good. Playing against such a team, we will naturally be under great pressure."

This is not a lie, the Southamptonian is really Alexander.

Koeman also said, "Of course, if Crystal Palace rotates in this round of games, it is good news for us. In our opinion, there is still a big gap between Crystal Palace's rotation and the main lineup. If Crystal Palace We are very confident to beat them with the last rotation lineup. Of course, if they stick to the main lineup, we can also beat them. Because of Crystal

Palace's main players have physical problems. "

The media reporters nodded one after another. They all understood that Koeman was full of confidence in this game.

It seems that Koeman thinks that Southampton is certain to defeat Crystal Palace in this game.

Koeman was also asked about Van Dijk. He immediately said, "Don't worry, we haven't given up on Van Dijk yet. To be honest, I am very optimistic about him. I think it is the right choice for him to come to Southampton." , because I know him best. Under my guidance, his abilities will improve by leaps and bounds. Staying at Crystal Palace is not the best choice. Van Dijk comes to our Southampton!"

Well, at this time Koeman still did not give up on seducing Van Dijk.

Is this guy really causing trouble for Crystal Palace all the time? This poaching is really too blunt.

Of course, Koeman also said, "Actually, Rudiger in Crystal Palace is also very good. If he feels that he cannot play as the main force in Crystal Palace, he can come to our Southampton. I can guarantee him that he will come to our Southampton." He is the absolute core of the defense. Coming to Southampton is the most correct choice for him. Staying at Crystal Palace as a substitute is really a waste of his talent, and a waste of good time when he can get more goals."

Well, this guy Koeman is really doing things crazy!

At this time, Rudiger stood up directly and said, "Thank you Koeman for your concern, but I have a very good life at Crystal Palace. I also got a lot of opportunities to play here, and I also learned a lot. So, for now, I will stay at Crystal Palace and will not go anywhere. Even if I have to leave Crystal Palace in the future, I will not go to Southampton, thank you!"

In a word, don't bother Koeman, I, Rudiger, look down on you Southampton, you Southampton are too loony!

To be honest, Rudiger's words are really a slap in the face.

I don’t know whether Coman was angry or not, but the Southampton fans were really angry. They criticized and cursed Rudiger crazily. Why are you so arrogant as a substitute? You can't even play the game. Why do you look down on us? Are you pretending?

Rudiger attracted crazy jeers from the Southampton fans, all of whom looked particularly ugly.

Koeman also didn't expect Rudiger to be so cool and able to say such words. He was a little speechless, and he didn't even want to bring in Rudiger's big mouth.

When Koeman was interviewed by media reporters, he said, "I think Rudiger still has a long way to go. Forget it about Southampton, there is no place for him here."

Rudiger didn't care about Koeman's words at all. What he wants now is to play well and slowly increase the number of goals. He will never go to Southampton to play in this life!

He believes in himself!

Under such circumstances, Crystal Palace ushered in a match with Southampton.

game, this game is an away game.

Crystal Palace’s starting lineup for this game is as follows

edouard

The back four from left to right Robertson, Laporte, Van Dijk and Aurier

Double defensive midfielder Paulinho and Kante

Single attacking midfielder De Bruyne

The front three from left to right Salah, Ignacio and Mane

This starting lineup was beyond Koeman's expectations. He did not expect that Tong Yi did not make a rotation in this game, and still continued the lineup from the previous game, the EFL Cup final between Crystal Palace and Chelsea. This really surprised Koeman. His pre-match arrangements were almost useless!

Yes, Koeman believed what Tong Yi said before the game.

Koeman feels that Tong Yi really wants to let his main players get the news in this round of games, and then Crystal Palace will send out rotation players in this round of games. Little did he know that Tong Yi had deceived him. There was no rotation at all on the Crystal Palace side. Except for Carvajal who couldn't play, almost everyone on the Crystal Palace side was from the previous round.

Koman immediately turned his head and glared at Tong Yi fiercely, with a very ugly expression on his face.

This guy Tong Yi actually teased him before the game, which made him very angry.

Of course, when Koeman was even more angry, his pre-match arrangements were almost completely useless. After all, these arrangements are for another lineup of Crystal Palace. So this tactical arrangement is completely useless. Even the Southampton players were a little confused on the court and didn't know how to play?

After all, the players they faced were different from what they had expected. They themselves were making adjustments, but the adjustments were a bit inconsistent, so Southampton's lineup was not so tight, and there were a lot of gaps.

At this time, the Crystal Palace people seized these opportunities.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace intercepted the ball in the midfield, and Kanter gave the ball to De Bruyne in the frontcourt. After two consecutive one-twos between De Bruyne and Salah on the wing, he immediately came to the front of the opponent's penalty area.

De Bruyne glanced at the Southampton goal, and then suddenly made a diagonal pass to the advancing Mane.

In the penalty area, Southampton's defensive players reacted slightly late, allowing Mane to rush over.

One-on-one, Mane faced Southampton goalkeeper Ben Foster directly!

Foster reacted very quickly and rushed out directly towards Mane. Mane suddenly made a small kick. The football drew a small arc and went directly between Foster's legs, and then spun into the Southampton goal.

One to zero, Crystal Palace took the lead at the beginning of the game.

Koeman's face was very ugly. These were all the good deeds of Tong Yi, a hypocritical and cunning guy.

If he hadn't been fooled by Tong Yi, a Chinese soft-boiler, before the game, Southampton would not have conceded the goal so quickly.

Damn Chinese bastard, you have to die!

Koeman immediately and quickly adjusted to change this bad situation. He worked very hard, but Southampton's players were a little slow to change, and in the process, the Southamptonians were caught in space by Crystal Palace.

In the 18th minute of the game, Crystal Palace's Paulinho sent a long-distance through ball directly from the backcourt. The football was very penetrating and directly passed Southampton's entire defense line. Salah, who was diagonally crossing from the wing, directly bypassed the retreating full-back Bertrand, and then quickly circled into the penalty area.

Salah, who was catching up with the football, faced the opponent's Japanese central defender Maya Yoshida. He pedaled his bicycle quickly, then moved sideways and passed Maya Yoshida like a wooden stake.

Salah directly faced Southampton's goalkeeper Foster, who was facing a powerful enemy.

The moment Salah caught up with the football, he twisted and volleyed the football directly into the opposite direction.

Salah's shooting action looks very awkward, but the effect is excellent.

The football went directly over Foster who jumped out from the side, and then flew straight into the back corner of the goal.

Two to zero, Crystal Palace expanded the score.

Seeing this, Southamptonians felt that they were finished for this game.

After this, the Southamptonians' tactical adjustments finally came to an end, and the effect was still very good. It's a pity that before that, they had already conceded two goals. If they don't concede these two goals, Southampton really has a chance in this game.

Pity!

In the final game, Crystal Palace defeated Southampton 2-1 away from home and scored three points.

It's true that if Southampton didn't concede two goals at the beginning of the game, they would still have a chance to win this game. It's a pity that they were all fooled by Tong Yi. Tong Yi took advantage of this game and also took advantage of Koeman.

Koeman's face was very ugly, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Why don't you Crystal Palace rotate?

Why not rotate? Because Tong Yi is preparing for roller skating in the next game.

Crystal Palace's next game is four days later when they host Blackburn Rovers at home. This game is the quarter-finals of the English FA Cup. In fact, it is acceptable for the Crystal Palace people to lose in this game.

Therefore, in order to ensure three points in the league, Tong Yi chose to take risks in the next game.

Koeman was really speechless!

Tong Yi, you are the sixth child!

Yes, in the next game against Blackburn, Tong Yi was rotated. Crystal Palace’s starting lineup is as follows

Alisson

The back four from left to right is Alonso, Rudiger, Van Dijk and Aurier.

Double defensive midfielder Casemiro and Kimmich

Single attacking midfielder Goretzka

The front three from left to right Asensio, Jimenez and Sane
