Legendary Godfather

After the fifth round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season, only two teams in the entire league have maintained a complete victory. They are Crystal Palace and Manchester City. Currently, Crystal Palace has scored 16 goals without conceding a goal, ranking first in the league; Manchester City has scored 14 goals and conceded. 4 goals, 11 goals difference, ranking second.

At this time, many people have understood that perhaps the new season will be between Crystal Palace and Manchester City competing for the Premier League championship this season. Manchester United is still a bit disappointing. Their current results are not ideal, which is in sharp contrast to their high-profile summer transfer!

However, the league has just begun, and it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.

Manchester United and other Aqiu teams still have opportunities.

Crystal Palace fans are all excited. This season, Crystal Palace is on the rise again!

Look at how Crystal Palace has not lost in the Premier League so far, it has not even conceded a goal. It’s amazing, it’s really amazing. If you include the UEFA Champions League, Crystal Palace has scored 20 goals in six games without conceding a single goal. This is simply amazing.

At this time, the media in England were all exclaiming, who can be the first to score the Crystal Palace goal this season?

To be honest, no one expected Crystal Palace to perform so well this season.

Is Crystal Palace's defense now that strong?

No wonder Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool all hope to introduce Crystal Palace center back Van Dijk. This defense is indeed amazing.

Of course, it is not just Van Dijk’s fault that Crystal Palace’s defense is so strong, others are also very strong.

Kanter, Casemiro and others in front of Van Dijk are also very strong.

Crystal Palace's defense is overall strong.

Of course, everyone knows that Crystal Palace cannot keep going like this without conceding goals. Crystal Palace will always concede goals.

Now these media reporters and fans are speculating, who will be the first player and team to score the Crystal Palace goal this season? Some spinach companies have even started trading for this purpose, specifically focusing on this matter.

This can also put pressure on the attackers, allowing them to make mistakes earlier and giving other teams early opportunities.

To be honest, Tong Yi doesn't care too much about this matter, nor does he pay much attention to it.

He also knows very well that Crystal Palace will concede goals sooner or later. He is really Buddhist about how long he can keep without conceding a goal. As long as the team can win, everything else doesn't matter.

What Tong Yi wants is victory, not not conceding goals all the time.

Of course, it would be best if the team could keep winning without conceding a goal.

Of course, he himself knew very well that this was impossible!

Therefore, Tong Yi has little pressure on whether to concede the ball or not.

Tong Yi also reminded the defensive players of Crystal Palace not to care about these data and to defend well.

Just keep it and play normally. It doesn't matter whether you concede the ball or not, the most important thing is to win the game!

Winning the game is more important than anything else.

The Crystal Palace players nodded one after another and expressed their understanding.

Tong Yi is still very satisfied with the players' reaction, as long as there is no floating.

The next two weeks are also critical for Crystal Palace.

After all, the Crystal Palace will have double matches every week in the next two weeks. The schedule is very intensive and there is no room for the players to be careless. They must take it seriously to win the game.

At this time, the results of the new first-month coach selection for the 2016-2017 season came out. Crystal Palace's Tong Yi was elected the August coach of the month without any suspense, and Ibrahimovic became the August coach. The best player in the Premier League, this double best was taken by the Crystal Palace people.

But there is no objection to this, everyone feels that it is well deserved.

Tong Yi didn't express much about this. He simply said, "Thank you to my assistants and my players. Without them, I wouldn't be able to win this award. This award belongs to them."

Well, this guy Tong Yi has already received this award, and his speeches are starting to be repeated.

After receiving this award, Crystal Palace ushered in the third round of the 2016-2017 English League Cup. Crystal Palace, the runner-up of last season's English League Cup, is finally about to make its debut.

Crystal Palace's opponent is Southampton in the Premier League, and this opponent is still very strong.

After all, Southampton is a real team competing for European qualifications and is still very strong.

Tong Yi really didn't dare to underestimate his opponent.

Even at this time, many English media claimed that Southampton would become the first team to score the Crystal Palace goal this season. They were very optimistic about Southampton. Even the odds set by some betting companies show that they are very optimistic that Southampton can break the Crystal Palace goal.

Even at this time, when Southampton's assistant center Charlie Austin was interviewed by media reporters, he said, "Yes, I am very confident, and my current condition is very good. I have a hunch that I will play against Crystal Palace." Score a goal in the game, I will be the first player to score against Crystal Palace this season. Just watch, I will score more goals in this game!"

Austin is really very confident.

Southampton fans also support Austin, and they also believe that Austin will definitely score.

Even Southampton's head coach, French legend Claude Pierre, believed that Austin could score the Crystal Palace goal because he was very confident in this game.

This guy Pierre had an equally brilliant playing and coaching career.

He is a classic representative of one man, one city and one team!

He came from Monaco's youth training and spent his entire playing career with Monaco. Here he became the best defensive midfielder in Ligue 1. He played 601 times for Monaco in his lifetime and won many Ligue 1 championships and domestic titles. Cup champion. After retiring, he took over the coaching staff of Monaco and led the team to win the French Ligue 1 championship.

After he left Monaco, his coaching career was still very brilliant. He led the little-known Lille team to become the French Ligue 1 runner-up and the top 16 team of the Champions League. He is a well-known coach in French football. In 2005, he was selected by the French Football Federation. Judged the best coach of the year, and was judged the best coach of the Ligue 1 season in 2006.

In the summer, he came to Southampton and became the head coach of this team.

It can be seen that Southampton hopes that the famous French coach can lead the team to a higher level and qualify for the European competition and even the Champions League.

Southampton's senior management is very optimistic about this famous French coach!

To be honest, the Premier League this season is really full of famous coaches. In addition to world-class coaches such as Mourinho, Tong Yi, Guardiola, Mourinho, Wenger and Conte, there are also Pochettino, Mazzarri, Ranieri, Bilic, Guidolin, Moyes, De Lahos, Ronald Koeman and Hughes are all famous and outstanding coaches, as well as Eddie Excellent coaches such as Howe, Campbell, Pulis and Sean Daichi who are just starting to become famous.

There really are no weak teams in the Premier League this season.

These coaches all have their own reputations, stories and honors. These guys are not weak.

In the Premier League this season, there is really no opponent that is easy to deal with.

It is really scary and incredible that Crystal Palace can still maintain a record of not conceding a goal. No wonder at this time, so many media reporters pay so much attention to who will be the first to score the Crystal Palace goal.

Pierre also said, "Although I have only accepted the team for a short time, I still know our team and the Premier League team very well. My team and I have done a lot of homework. I think , we shouldn’t have much problem scoring Crystal Palace’s goal in this game. You ask me where my confidence comes from? Of course it is the confidence that Crystal Palace’s previous experience in the English League Cup gave me. There is a 999 chance that they will win in the English League. Rotating in cup matches, this is our Southampton confidence!”

The media reporters suddenly realized!

Indeed, as Pierre said, the biggest feature of the team led by Tong Yi is the frequent rotation in cup matches. Some media reporters even summed up their experience and concluded that Tong Yi plays one main lineup in the league, and another in cup matches. Set the starting lineup. Especially in a competition like the EFL Cup, it’s even more

So true.

What Pierre said about 999 is a bit conservative.

In fact, Pierre can say 100%.

Media reporters also believe that in this game, Crystal Palace will definitely rotate extensively and give the rotation players a chance to start.

If the Crystal Palace defense also rotates a lot of players, wouldn't Southampton have a chance to score the Crystal Palace goal?

No wonder Austin and Pierre are so confident.

Media reporters also feel that this is indeed the best opportunity.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, Crystal Palace's starting lineup did undergo a large-scale rotation. Even Van Dijk entered the rotation sequence and did not appear in the starting list. This is actually very rare. Van Dijk can say that Crystal Palace's defense is the best in defense. He rarely rotates. I didn't expect that he would have a rest today.

It seems that God is helping Southampton.

The media reporters at the scene all firmly believed that Southampton would definitely become the first team to score the Crystal Palace goal this season, and Southampton even had a chance to win this game.

Media reporters are optimistic about Southampton.

In this game, Crystal Palace indeed played a lot of young people. Van Dijk, Kanter, Ibrahimovic, Carvajal, Salah, and De Bruyne were all rotated. Crystal Palace almost used all substitutes in this game. If Southampton can't score a goal and win the game, your Southampton season will be over. Not to mention qualifying for the European competition, even You are all going to be relegated.

Opportunity, this is a great opportunity for Southamptonians.

Pierre also thinks so. He attaches great importance to this game and almost sent out the strongest lineup. If this fails to break the opponent's goal, Pierre and Southampton's players will have to doubt their own abilities.

Pierre said to so many of his players before the game, "You see, the Chinese guy on the opposite side looks down on you so much. He thinks you can't even play as their substitutes. You are not even as good as their substitutes." , what do you think?"

The Southampton players are furious, damn those Chinese bastards!

Fuck him!

The Southampton players were gnashing their teeth and screaming, saying that they would teach the Crystal Palace people a lesson and teach the arrogant Chinese soft rice man a lesson!

Pierre was delighted.

This is what I want to do, I want to tear the Crystal Palace people apart!

In this game, we not only want to be the first team to score against Crystal Palace this season, we also want to be the first team to defeat Crystal Palace this season!

We, Southampton, must win this game!
