London, 6 March 2016.

Shechst Park, home of Crystal Palace.

A banner was unfurled in the stands of the stadium: "Hello Chinese Crystal Palace friends.

In this game, Crystal Palace faced Liverpool at home, and Crystal Palace predicted that this game would be watched by a large number of Chinese fans in distant China, so in order to attract attention from China and open up the Chinese market, this banner was specially prepared to show goodwill to Chinese fans.

Although the number of fans of Crystal Palace in China is too small compared to Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and other strong teams, they still do not forget to explore the Chinese market.

In fact, as early as 1998, the general manager, commercial president and market development president of the Crystal Palace Club came to China to visit and analyze the Chinese market, and planned to launch stores in Dalian and Shanghai to sell some of the logo products of the Crystal Palace team. This is because at that time, Crystal Palace signed Chinese players Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi, who had a relatively large influence in China, and Crystal Palace also became the first English team to sign Chinese players.

It is worth mentioning that the current Crystal Palace coach Pardew once coached Chinese player Zheng Zhen, and when he was interviewed by Chinese media before the game, Pardew praised Zheng Zhen as a very good player.

……

There was also an interesting thing that happened before the match between Crystal Palace and Liverpool.

This matter has to do with Crystal Palace's current star Zaha.

In 2014, Zaha was regarded as England's reddest rising star, and Zaha himself is full of confidence: "I don't think anyone else is better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. The Ivorian-born England striker has been dubbed the "God of England" by the media.

Now, Crystal Palace and Liverpool meet again in the league, and the media deliberately brings up the matter: You mean you think you are better than Jiang?

Zaha: No! No! I didn't say that!

The black star said seriously that the reporter must have remembered wrong, he was talking about being the strongest except for Jiang, Messi and Ronaldo!

He warned reporters not to spread rumors and not to tarnish people's innocence out of thin air.

……

“Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaal！”

"Beautiful goal! It was Jiang's 37th goal in the league this season! "Jiang is very decisive, confident and has a tricky angle, McCarthy can't do anything about it, but Jiang also has to thank Mane, the Senegalese's long-distance run and assist are also wonderful!" ”

It was Liverpool's chance to counter-attack, Mane dribbled the ball from midfield, and after speeding past Australian midfielder Jedinak and full-back Ward, he sent a half-high cross, Jiang Chenxi squeezed past Crystal Palace defender Dane, and scored with a volley in front of goal.

"Beautiful! Jiang equalised for Liverpool just at the start of the second half! The timing of the goal was crucial and would have a significant impact on the morale of both sides. Lineker said.

Objectively speaking, Crystal Palace played well in the first half, with Zaha's dribbling and breakthrough and Adebayor's impact creating a hidden danger for Liverpool's defence.

Especially Zaha, the 'England God' is indeed quite strong, Zaha's biggest characteristic is that he is very fast at his feet, he touches the ball half a step faster than his opponent, and the opponent may think he will steal the ball, but he can only kick his legs.

Veteran Virgil van Dijk, who started today, is the veteran. Toure struggled a little against Zaha.

Crystal Palace even relied on the goal of more than 30 minutes in the first half of the game, with a one-0 lead into the halftime, at halftime, their head coach Pardew also imagined that the team would defend in the second half of the game, keep the lead of this one goal, and beat Liverpool to cause a big upset, but he didn't expect that the second half of the game just began, Jiang Chenxi equalized for Crystal Palace.

……

Jiang Chenxi ran to Mane, and he gave the black teammate a big hug.

In the stands at Shecherst Park, a middle-aged man put down his video camera, then lowered his head and quickly recorded it in his notebook.

Then he turned his head to look inside the field, looked at Liverpool's number one star who was receiving congratulations from his teammates, and sighed with a frown.

Jiang Chenxi's state is still so good, it seems that this guy doesn't have a time when he is in a slump!

He is the coach of Juventus, Allegri's assistant Marco to be exact. Duranch.

Although it is still 10 days before Juventus and Liverpool play in the Champions League, Juventus still have a Serie A game to play in the middle, although they are currently only three points ahead of Napoli in the league, the lead is not large, but Juventus has already put all their attention on the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool.

Marco. Duránch was ordered to come to England to watch Liverpool's game, observe Liverpool's state up close, and provide manager Allegri with the most detailed and timely game report for him to analyze.

Not just this match against Crystal Palace, but also Liverpool's home league game against Chelsea two days later, and Liverpool's FA Cup sixth round match next weekend. Durant will always follow and observe, record.

Speaking of which, Marco. Durange was a little surprised, he felt that Juventus should be grateful to the English FA: in the ten days before the Champions League knockout game, Liverpool had to play three games, and including the strong dialogue with Chelsea in the league and the FA Cup against Manchester United, which is equivalent to giving Juventus an assist.

In comparison, the Italian side can be said to take very good care of Juventus, the next round of Juventus' Serie A match was advanced to Friday night local time in Italy, and the match between Juventus and Liverpool was played on the following Wednesday night, which means that Juventus can get at least four days of rest, which will make Juventus get one more day of rest than Liverpool, not to mention, during this period, Juventus only needs to play two league games, while Liverpool is three games in ten days, This will allow Juventus to maximise their fitness.

In the first leg between the two sides, Juventus lost 2-3 at home, and Liverpool not only won, but also scored three away goals, which means that if Juventus want to turn the tables in the second leg at Anfield, Juventus will need to win this game by at least a two-goal lead such as 2-0 or 3-1, or a one-goal victory on top of four goals such as 4-3.

This is indeed a difficult task.
