Crystal Palace's home stadium, Shelhurst Park, is located in the south of London, the stadium is not big, but the atmosphere of each game can be compared with the home stadium of the Premier League, Crystal Palace fans have always been known for their crazy support of the team, in the first half of the season at Lenovo Stadium, nearly 5,000 Crystal Palace fans followed the team, through half of the city of London, although there are not enough tickets for them, but they would rather listen to the radio broadcast in the open space outside the stadium, but also play side by side with their own team.

Sun Jihai called Lao Liu the day before the game, and when talking about the home game of Crystal Palace where he had played, Jihai said four words to Lao Liu, "Be careful, take care." ”

The club's personnel were a little neater in this game, Capo and Miller were available, and Wenger did not let Miller start, but according to the characteristics of Crystal Palace, he discharged a four-five-one lineup.

Goalkeepers: Johnson Defenders: Madis, Diawara, Rozenard, Van Den Boray Midfielders: Daleval, Seawalker, Capo, Song, Toni Zhang Forwards: Christian Ferlores Substitutes: Casdier, Summerel, Tomson, Miller, Hackby with Toni to the right midfield position, Wenger has his own considerations, using a defender to play this position, at least can strengthen the midfield's stealing and protection, a draw is not the goal, but at the home of Crystal Palace, it is certainly right to strengthen the defense.

The game was as expected, and soon Crystal Palace completely dominated the game, Willingham fell into the opponent's stormy attacking frenzy, and even Capo needed to retreat to the penalty area from time to time to assist in the defense, it seems that Crystal Palace is a mind to solve the problem with a victory, after all, the final round with the Queens Park Rangers PK is not so easy.

In the fifteenth minute of the first half, Crystal Palace in a combination in the front, Ireland striker C. Morrison dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and when he shook and was about to open the angle to shoot, he made physical contact with Van den Boray, Morrison lost his balance and fell to the ground, and the referee blew the whistle decisively, and the penalty kick.

The audience cheered thunderously, Lao Liu shook his head helplessly, Morrison personally hit the penalty with a knife, and Crystal Palace took a one-0 lead, at this time, Tommy next to him whispered in Lao Liu's ear, "Derby County is still a draw now." ”

It wasn't long before Cabo equalised with a clever combination with Veloures from outside the box, but in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, another Crystal Palace striker, D. Freedman, headed in a corner.

At the end of the first half, Willingham fell behind Crystal Palace 1-2, Derby County also broke the fast, 1-0 ahead of Boehly, but surprisingly at home Queen's Park Rangers not only fell behind now, but also sent off a man, and Norwich City also led Sunderland 1-0 away from home.

If that's the final scoreline, it will be Wolves, Norwich City, Crystal Palace who will be confirmed for the play-offs, with the other place between Wellingham and Derby County.

As soon as the break ended, Arsene Wenger made two substitutions at the same time, Tomsen replaced Van Den Boray, Miller replaced the newly injured Capo, and the formation changed back to 442, entangled with Crystal Palace.

"If Queens Park Rangers lose, then do you think Palace will give us a draw in this game, which will allow us to qualify for the next game with a draw." Tommy asked Lao Liu in a low voice.

Lao Liu glanced at him, "How is this possible, there is still a half-time ball, anything can happen, not to mention that if Crystal Palace draws this time and loses again, it is possible that we and Derby County will join forces to squeeze out of the play-offs, in this complex environment now, you can only rely on yourself, and it is unrealistic to imagine that others will save you." ”

"Then the professor is now going to strengthen the attack and replace the next midfielder with a striker, but it seems difficult to get back into the current passive situation."

It was a difficult time, as Crystal Palace, who were almost all the main players, scored another goal in the 70th minute to seal the victory, and at the same time as the final whistle, another interesting game was also decided.

Derby County were miraculously equalised by Boehly in the last minute, and Boehly also completed relegation one round earlier, although they were at home to relegated Cardiff in the last round, but obviously, the Boehlys, who did not want to let their fate remain in danger at the last minute, managed to save themselves and create a good situation for Wellingham.

The Queen's Park Rangers fell into the abyss completely, their ferocious style of play made them suffer at the most critical time, although they scored a goal in the second half, but due to excessive action, they were sent off again, and they finally collapsed in the last ten minutes of the game with nine against eleven, and were scored two goals in a row by the opponent, officially bidding farewell to the hope of promotion this season.

Norwich City were equalised by Sunderland with 74 points to secure a place in the play-offs with Wolves and Crystal Palace, with the only suspense left in the final round for 71-point Willingham and 70-point Derby County, whose final fixture will determine sixth and seventh place in the Championship this season.

The two rankings next to each other correspond to the difference between heaven and hell......

"We're going to play three play-offs this season, which means we're only three games away from the Premier League, think about it, three years ago we were a League Two team that was going bankrupt, the Premier League, it seems like an infinitely distant thing, how many games we've fought together, how many times have we gritted our teeth when it mattered, and now, we've got three games left, tell me, what are your plans?" Lao Liu once again faced all the players, impassionedly encouraging everyone's morale.

"Rush into the Premier League and beat the opposition." Everyone shouted in unison.

Arsene Wenger also spoke, "Boehly's final goal gives us a point lead now, yes, we only need a draw to get into the play-offs, but I now ask you to forget all the scores, all the situations, we must win the game in six days' time, not only let us go into the play-offs with our chests high, but also let the opponents in the play-offs know that a difficult opponent is coming." ”

'It's not a game, I admit they do have a certain quality, but honestly, it would be a joke in English football if they were promoted to the Premier League...... Then I'll eat my hat in front of you...... Tell the noble gentleman that Willingsm will let him buy a hat that suits him in any London store, and we'll pay for the indigestible gentleman's top hat pizza. The edited interview clip suddenly echoed in the audio of the conference room, and everyone knew that Lao Liu specially arranged to play it again to make them feel stimulated again.

"I don't want to save money on that hat, don't you want to see what the hat pizza looks like?" Lao Liu roared loudly.

There was silence in the conference room, and then ......
