Ranked third in the Premier League is Manchester City. Their record is 12 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, with 40 points.

……

Therefore, before this round of the game, Crystal Palace led Manchester City by 6 points.

This game is particularly important for both teams.

After all, this can be regarded as a game worth 6 points.

Of course, Crystal Palace can still afford to lose.Even if they lose this game, they will not be overtaken by Arsenal and Leicester City, they are still at the top of the league.But for Manchester City, if they lose, they will be 9 points behind Crystal Palace, the league leader. This gap is very large, and it is impossible for Manchester City to catch up.

Therefore, in this game, Manchester City really can't afford to lose.

Before the game, Pellegrini said: "This game is the final of our Manchester City team, we must win!"

Manchester City players Aguero said: "This should be one of the most important games of our Manchester City team this season. We really can't afford to lose this game. If we lose, we will lose the league championship!"

Gretzka also said: "Although the Crystal Palace is my former club, Director Tong is also very kind to me, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry! In this game, I must go all out to help the team win. !"

Silva also said in an interview: "If we want to retain the hope of competing for the Premier League title, we must win this game! Crystal Palace is very strong, but our Manchester City team is stronger. In this game, we Manchester City must win!"

Zabaleta also said: "Now our Manchester City team is ready, we have enough confidence, we believe we can beat the Crystal Palace team. This is our home court, and we will not let the Crystal Palace take away the victory from here. This Three points, our Manchester City team will be determined."

……

Before the game, the Manchester City team was united from top to bottom.

The Manchester City people are going to fight Crystal Palace in this game, and they will play this game as a final.

It can be seen that the Manchester City people are eager to win this game.

In fact, everyone is very clear, as the Manchester City people said, they can't afford to lose this game.

Once they lost this game, their Manchester City team almost lost their hope of winning the Premier League this season.

Although after this round of competition, there will be 16 rounds left in the Premier League. It seems that it is not difficult to chase 9 points, but they still have a chance.But you have to look at what teams are in front of them and what kind of performance they are playing?

Crystal Palace won 21 games in the first 15 rounds, with a winning rate of 71.4%, and a total of 63 points and 46 points, with a scoring rate of 73%.According to this probability, in the last 16 rounds, Crystal Palace can win 11.4 games and get 35 points, so the total score is 81 points.

If Tong Yi remembers correctly, Leicester City's last miraculous victory this season in his previous life was probably 81 points.

Therefore, this point is really a championship point.

Of course, this score is not high, but it is possible for Manchester City to score more than 41 points.

This is very difficult.

Therefore, in this round of competition, the Manchester City people really cannot lose.

Even the top management of the Manchester City club have spoken, and this game must be won.Manchester City must win this game and win the Premier League championship this season.

After all, Manchester City has not tasted the taste of the Premier League champion for a long time.

This season, Manchester City must win the Premier League.

It can be seen that the Manchester City people really want to win this league championship.Their pre-match interviews have already explained everything, so Tong Yi also knows that this game is really difficult to play.

In the dressing room of the visiting team before the game, Tong Yi glanced at the players of Crystal Palace.

Tong Yi is still very satisfied with the mental state of the Crystal Palace players. They are full of energy, and they are full of confidence and anticipation for this game.

This is good.

Although it is an away game, the players of Crystal Palace have no timidity or worry at all.

This is the demeanor of a strong team.

Tong Yi said directly: "Boys, our state is very good recently. I hope you can keep it up. Our opponent in this game is very strong, and it can be regarded as the strongest opponent we have encountered recently. This is for you It’s a big test.”

The Crystal Palace players nodded solemnly and nodded.

Manchester City is indeed the strongest team that Crystal Palace has encountered recently, and they cannot deny that.

Tong Yi continued: "The league has entered the second half of the season. If you miss a game, you will lose three points. What I want to remind you is that there are not many three points to waste. You lose three points , the competitors behind you will not lose. Think about Arsenal and Leicester City, including today's opponent Manchester City, who are eyeing up behind you. Are they the team that will easily lose three points?"

All the Crystal Palace players shook their heads, saying that these players are all hungry ghosts, and they will definitely not lose three points easily.

Tong Yi nodded and said: "Yes, they will not lose three points easily! Then we can't lose, and we can't lose three points casually. Every game, we have to play it as a final. It is best to play the last 17 rounds We scored three points every game, so that we can get back what we lost last season. This season we must take a big lead to win the championship, and not give some sunspots the opportunity to use the next three tricks! This The Premier League title of the season, we Crystal Palace must win!"

The fans of Crystal Palace threw their fists and roared neatly: "Take it! Take it! It must be taken!"

To be honest, just thinking about the loss of the championship last season, the fans of Crystal Palace are still angry. The anger in their hearts is hard to contain, and they can't help the urge to do something!

This season, we must not let the tragedy happen again!

Tong Yi continued: "Then winning the Premier League this season starts with defeating Manchester City today. Come on guys, kill Manchester City!"

The players of Crystal Palace roared frantically: "Kill Manchester City! Kill Manchester City! We are the champions!"

Tong Yi immediately waved his hand to signal the Crystal Palace players to quiet down and listen to himself.

The players of Crystal Palace immediately fell silent and stared at Tong Yi with piercing eyes.

Tong Yi directly wrote a name on the tactical board behind him - Demichelis!

All the Crystal Palace players stared at the name thoughtfully.

Tong Yi pointed to the name and said: "I really didn't expect that Pellegrini would start this guy. It seems that Pellegrini really wants to leave get out of class!"

The corners of the Crystal Palace players raised their lips slightly and laughed.

Tong Yi said: "Today, this person is the focus of our attack. And when we played Manchester City, this person was blown up by us before, so it should be easy to blow him up?"

Salah, Mane and others immediately roared excitedly: "It's easy, boss! This guy is old, his turns are too slow, his speed is too slow, and he even reacts very slowly. It's easy to blast him!"

Tong Yi nodded slightly, that's what he meant.

Demichelis has really fallen to a heinous level. His shortcomings such as slow turning and slow pursuit will be abnormally magnified in front of fast horses such as Salah and Mane. Become Manchester City's defensive colander.

Tong Yi didn't know why Pellagrini sent this guy to start this game?

He didn't hear that Kompany was suspended or injured?

Tong Yi continued: "Of course, you should not underestimate Manchester City's line of defense. There must be a huge space behind Demichelis. But you should pay attention to Demichelis' partner Otamendi, this guy He is very mobile, his speed is not slow, and he has a good sense of defending. Obviously, in this game, Otamendi and Kolarov have a very important role in wiping Demichelis' ass. Responsibility, you have to pay attention to the defense of these two people at any time, understand?"

The Crystal Palace players nodded solemnly, expressing their understanding.

They are very clear about these two people, especially Otamendi.This guy was once discovered by coach Tong Yi, who moved the world with 1860 in Munich, and later went to Manchester City.

Naturally, the players of Crystal Palace will not ignore this guy's supplementary defense.

And, don't look at this guy's height, but his jumping and prevention and control abilities are still very good. This is a very good central defender. He and Kompany are a very good central defender. of.

It's a pity that Kompany is getting older gradually, and his physical function has begun to decline.Therefore, the Manchester City team should find Kompany's successor as soon as possible, otherwise, the Manchester City team may usher in a long period of labor pains.

However, Manchester City have money and they should be able to buy a very good central defender very quickly.

And Kolarov's speed is actually not fast, and he can also play as a central defender, so he will also help Demichelis in defense.

Tong Yi continued: "So, Kolarov's side should not have the task of making forward assists with large and high frequency today. His more tasks are to rely on the inside and be ready to wipe Demichelis' ass at any time. So Well, we can make good use of Kolarov's wing, take a little more offense here, and pull Kolarov out. In this way, there will be more space behind Demichelis, understand? "

The players of Crystal Palace nodded one after another, expressing their understanding.

To be honest, after hearing what Tong Yi said, the players of Crystal Palace felt that this game was not particularly difficult. It should be relatively easy for them to win this game.

Mane immediately said: "Boss, don't worry, in today's game, I will definitely smash the side of Manchester City!"

Carvajal also immediately stated: "Yes, boss, don't worry, I will make Kolarov doubt life with Sadio!"

Hearing what the two said, Tong Yi was very satisfied and nodded immediately.

Tong Yi continued: "To be honest, judging from the current lineup, our Crystal Palace has a high probability of winning. But we can't underestimate Manchester City, their offensive strength is also very strong. The frontcourt For the defense of Aguero and Silva, I hope to bring up the intensity, especially against Silva!"

The Crystal Palace players nodded immediately, expressing their understanding.

The Manchester City team's offensive ability is indeed very strong, and there are really many people holding the ball and passing the ball in the midfield. It can be said that it is impossible to defend against.

Tong Yi also said: "Also pay attention to the midfielder Gretzka. You should know this guy very well, and you should know how powerful he is. So, you must watch him to death, you know? Don't give him A chance to stir up the situation, okay?"

The players of Crystal Palace immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, boss, we will not give Leon any chance. Our Crystal Palace will win this game!"

Tong Yi was very satisfied with the mentality of the Crystal Palace players, and he felt that they had a very high chance of winning this game.

Tong Yi said: "Okay, as long as you have confidence! Then go out and win this game!"

Crystal Palace players swarmed out of the locker room, rushed into the player tunnel, followed the footsteps of the referee team, and walked into the Etihad Stadium.
