Legendary godfather of green grass

Of course, after returning to London, Tong Yi immediately called Martina, concerned about the situation of Martina and the child.

This has almost become Tong Yi's daily routine.

Yes, Martina was right before, and now they really talk on the phone for half an hour every day.

No matter how busy you are, you still have to find time to make a video call, just to see Martina and the child.

Of course, after doing this, Tong Yi can also devote himself to his work.

Currently, Tong Yi is leading the team to prepare for the match against Coventry.

The match against Coventry is the fifth round of the FA Cup in the 2017-2018 season. The opponents in this round are not very strong.

Although Coventry had richer ancestors, even they were much more brilliant than the Crystal Palace before Tong Yilai.

At least, Coventry once won the championship of the top national competition!

Yes, Coventry has won the FA Cup, and they have even won the No.6 in England's top league, and they have also qualified for the European War.This result is indeed much more brilliant than the Crystal Palace before Tong Yi joined!

Moreover, Coventry was also a team in the first year of the Premier League, but unfortunately they had already gone downhill at that time.

In the first year of the Premier League, Coventry were relegated!

Since then, for more than ten years and nearly 20 years, Coventry has been in the lower leagues of England, and it is getting farther and farther away from the Premier League.And now, the Coventry team is a team in England's fourth-tier League Two, and their current results are not particularly good, ranking 9th in the League Two.

although

It is said that there is only a 4-point gap from Notts County, which is sixth, and it is possible to qualify for the provincial play-offs.But compared with Crystal Palace, the strength is really far worse.

Therefore, everyone thinks that Crystal Palace should be able to win this game easily.

However, Tong Yi knew that Coventry still had some strength.

After all, their new head coach Mark Robbins is still quite capable.

If Tong Yi remembers correctly, Coventry will start a rapid revival under the leadership of Robbins.In the next two seasons, they will be promoted year after year and directly return to the British Championship.And will win the Championship League No.2022 in the 2023-5 season, thus qualifying for the provincial play-offs, and finally lost to Luton in the penalty shootout, thus missing the upgrade to the Premier League, really they almost returned to the Premier League Yes.

pity!

Therefore, it can be seen from these that Robbins, who was a member of Manchester United's class of 92, has a lot of things.

It is really amazing that he can bring Coventry to this height.

Tong Yi naturally would not underestimate the team led by this guy.

Before the start of this season, Robbins took over the Coventry team. This is his second time coaching this team.Then at the end of this season, he was qualified for the promotion play-offs and successfully promoted to League One.

Therefore, Tong Yi still gave this guy enough respect.

Of course, Tong Yi is also very clear that even so, the strength gap between Coventry and Crystal Palace is still very large, and it is impossible for Coventry to defeat Crystal Palace.But Tong Yi is still cautious, what if?

Seriously, Tong

I still don't really hope that this "what if" will happen.

Therefore, at this time, Tong Yi still pays more attention to this game.

The Crystal Palace players also know it, so they are all very committed.

Moreover, this game is basically played by substitute and rotation players. Such an opportunity is relatively precious to them. They will definitely play seriously and actively to improve their image and ranking in Tong Yi's heart. They need more opportunities.

These games are their opportunity.

The closer to the end of the season and the more critical the game, the fewer opportunities for these substitutes and rotation players.Now that they have such an opportunity, they will naturally cherish it.

They also want to win this game!

If they can't even win Coventry in League Two, it means that they really don't deserve to stay in Crystal Palace, or even stay in the Premier League.

Therefore, these players of Crystal Palace are still very positive.

These guys are very active in normal training.

Tong Yi is naturally quite satisfied, and he also knows that he is quite relieved to hand over this game to these guys.

Therefore, at this time, Tong Yi is full of confidence in this game.

In this game, our Crystal Palace will win!

Before the game, when interviewed by media reporters, Tong Yi said: "Coventry said that it is really difficult to threaten our Crystal Palace, and our players will definitely give 100% attention. In this game, we Crystal Palace should have no problems and should be able to win!"

Even at this time, there are

The media reporters went to disgust Guardiola. They interviewed and asked Guardiola what he thought of the match between Crystal Palace and Coventry?He even asked Guardiola if he thought Crystal Palace could win this game?

Guardiola is speechless!

Who are you disgusting?

We Manchester City want Crystal Palace to lose, but that's only in the league.We are not fools, do you think us Manchester City people think that Crystal Palace will lose to Coventry?

Guardiola gave these disgusting media reporters a hard look, and left without saying a word.

Obviously, few people think that Crystal Palace will lose this game.

However, Coventry's head coach Robbins believes that Coventry has a chance in this game.

Robbins said directly: "I know that there is a big gap between our Coventry and Crystal Palace, but don't think that we have no chance for Coventry! In the history of world football, are there few games where the weak win the strong? ? I admit that our Coventry is indeed not as strong as Crystal Palace, but it is not that we have no chance of winning!"

The media reporters nodded one after another, thinking that Robbins was quite right.

Coventry is indeed not as strong as Crystal Palace, but there are still opportunities.

The Robins have seen the world.

He was also a member of Manchester United's class of 92. Although his achievements are not as good as Beckham, Giggs and Scholes, etc., he has also left his own reputation in world football, and he is also in the Manchester United team. There have been brief highlights.As a substitute striker, he also played a lot of games.

Therefore, facing the current Crystal Palace, he is really not happy.

I'm afraid, and I don't even really think that such a gap in strength is life and death!

They really have a chance for Coventry.

Robbins also said: "I know that in this game, Crystal Palace will definitely use all substitutes to deal with us. This is our opportunity for Coventry. Although the opportunity is not particularly great, we are willing to try. We mainly play this game with a learning attitude. I believe we will learn a lot from this game and it will help us in the future."

To be honest, Robbins' words attracted a lot of support.

This guy can talk.

Of course, they keep their stance low.

Robbins continued: "Of course, if this game is really lost, it is not a big problem for us, and it is acceptable. The FA Cup is not our goal, mainly Learn to improve ourselves, our goal is still in the league, we Coventry need to upgrade!"

Yes, Robbins' goal is very clear, and he has a clear understanding and positioning for this game.

Therefore, any result can be accepted, just fight hard.

As Robbins said, they are here now with a learning attitude.

Tong Yi nodded slightly after hearing these words. No wonder the later Robbins was able to lead Coventry almost to the Premier League. This guy does have some strength and a bit of charisma.

Therefore, at this time, Tong Yi still attaches great importance to this game.

Crystal Palace still don't want any surprises, they want to win this game

of.

At this time, Tong Yi reminded these young players of Crystal Palace to play well and seriously in this game, and not to give the Coventry people any chance.

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

And this game is the home court of Crystal Palace, which is more beneficial to Crystal Palace. These young people in Crystal Palace are naturally very confident. After all, Coventry is a team in the League Two, and there is still a gap in strength between them.And it's not that they haven't played against the Premier League and other strong teams in other leagues before, and they have won them all. Are you afraid of Coventry?

Therefore, the players of the Crystal Palace really feel that this game can be won.

At this time, some media reporters even came to interview Harland of Crystal Palace.

At this time, Harland was also well-known in England. After all, in the limited playing time, he also scored a lot of goals.At present, many teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League hope to rent him, especially Brighton and Everton, who are all interested in Harland.

But Tong Yi did not agree.

Haaland is also very important to Crystal Palace, this is the future of Crystal Palace.

Tong Yi definitely wants to stay in the Crystal Palace to grow up slowly, and maybe he will be able to take on more important tasks in the Crystal Palace next year or two.So, no rent at this time.

In the face of interviews with media reporters, Haaland said: "I am the starter for this game. Yes, our starting list for Crystal Palace has been determined! I think I am very good in Crystal Palace. many opportunities for

For me, even for players in my age group, it is extremely lucky.Very few players my age have had so many opportunities.I am grateful to my mentor, Mr. Tong Yi, if not for him, I should still be in Norway now. "

Indeed, when the media reporters think about it carefully, Harland is indeed the ceiling of his age group.

Who can play as a substitute player in the UEFA Champions League champion team at this age?And also won so many first-team appearances?

Therefore, Harland is quite satisfied and cherishes this opportunity now.

Harland continued: "Of course, I have the confidence to play this game well, and I also believe that I can score goals. I will not let down Director Tong's trust in me!"

Harland is really confident, not perfunctory media reporters.Anyway, he feels that he is in a good state now, and he has endless energy.And he also trusts his teammates very much. His teammates are all very strong, and it is actually relatively easy to win Coventry.

For now, the rest of Crystal Palace's young players share Haaland's thinking.They really didn't care too much about the Coventry team, they were really confident of defeating their opponents.Now that they are ready, they are waiting for the game. If they want Tong Yi to show their abilities, it will also allow them to win more opportunities to play in the future!
