Chapter 461 Double Ascend to the Top

THE GAME, AS THE COMMENTATOR JACK SAID, IN FACT, AFTER LI YI PUT THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR CRYSTAL PALACE AND REWROTE THE SCORE TO 2-0, IT WAS ALREADY OVER EARLY.

After all, Juventus is strong, Crystal Palace is not weak, and in addition, Juventus plays one less......

In the end, the direction of this game did not go to that kind of god script, Juventus was able to chase 2 or even 3 goals in a row with one less player, and the director made a big comeback.

2-0, not a big win, but a complete victory, Crystal Palace finally brought themselves the first, second and third points in their Champions League history.

In the other game of the group, Real Madrid won 3-0 against Zenit St. Petersburg, the weakest player in the same group, and Group H, where Crystal Palace is located, the qualifying situation has become very interesting.

At present, after 2 rounds, there is no doubt that Real Madrid, who have won all 2 games, scored 4 goals and conceded a goal, and are in good form, occupy the top spot in the group, and there are no surprises.

However, in addition to Real Madrid, there are 3 points left in this group, which is so interesting!

After 2 rounds, Crystal Palace and Juventus are both 1-1, originally the Champions League ranking is to look at the relationship between the winner and the loser, but because the second leg of the match between Crystal Palace and Juventus has not yet been played, there is no comparison between the winner and the loser at this time, so the 2 teams with 3 points have to directly rely on goal difference to separate the rankings.

In the first game, Juventus, like Real Madrid, also killed the scorer Zenit 3-0, plus today's loss of 0-2, Juventus and Crystal Palace, which scored 0-1 and 2-0 in two games, not only have the same points, but even the goal difference is exactly the same, and in the end, it is only by virtue of scoring one more goal than Crystal Palace, ranking second in the group.

However, even if Crystal Palace is only ranked third in the group at this time, in the eyes of the outside world, it is still Crystal Palace's qualifying situation, which is better!

Because, after playing 2 rounds in the group stage, everyone has almost reached a consensus, that is, in this group, Zenit is dedicated to sending points, and Real Madrid is full-time to collect points.

Then, according to this standard, not counting the second leg of Juventus and Crystal Palace, before the final round, while the first place in this group locks Real Madrid, Juventus and Crystal Palace will face the situation of wanting to have the same points.

At that time, as long as Crystal Palace does not lose at the feet of Juventus in direct confrontation, or even if Crystal Palace loses, but does not lose by 2 goals, the team that will appear at that time will still be Crystal Palace, even if Juventus makes a phone call, it can play an exaggerated score of 10-0 or 20-0 in the second time against Zenit-

The situation in the Champions League group is complicated, perhaps Crystal Palace is very clear on the side, but it is obvious that Crystal Palace, which has been very busy with cowboys recently, at least for now, has no time to take care of the Champions League!

Now, they have to put all their minds into the league. After all, at the beginning of the league, due to the failure of the lineup to run in well, and the lack of suitable technical and tactical support, Crystal Palace lost a lot of points on the weak team. This is very fatal for Crystal Palace, who aim to defend the Premier League title.

As the so-called drowsiness comes and needs a pillow, it just so coincidentally, after successively touching Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Juventus, these 4 European giants, Crystal Palace ushered in a wave for them, a relatively easy journey to grab points!

On the 27th, they will host Bolton, on the 1st of the following month, they will face Zenit in the Champions League on the 1st, on October 5th, they will face Blackburn Rovers on the 5th, and they will take a two-week break in between, and on the 19th, they will host West Bromwich Albion, and then they will play Zenit back-to-back in the Champions League on the 22nd.

Although it is still a Premier League feature with frequent matches, there are several double matches a week, and even three matches in 8 days. However, such a schedule, compared with the previous successive battles with giant teams, is tantamount to much easier!

In this wave of points-grabbing actions, because the season is just in the early stage, the Crystal Palace side is neatly staffed, and there is no need for too much rotation, and a set of main lineups can be eaten, so although it is still looked down on by the outside world, Crystal Palace's side has grabbed all the points they can grab with a clean 5 consecutive wins.

As for the scores of the last 5 games, they are 3-0, 2-1, 3-2, 2-0, 1-0.

There are not many wins, and there is no such situation of pumping the opponent to death and washing blood, but as a certain Italian coach who likes the idea of 1-0 said, in the same 3-point situation, is there a difference between your 10-0 and my 1-0?

Is there a difference? At a time when the points are the same and the goal difference is required, a few goals difference is really no different for Crystal Palace.

On October 25, after winning two consecutive Champions League games and securing the second place in the group, Crystal Palace finally ushered in the only interesting game in the past month in the league.

Away to Everton. In the eyes of the outside world, Crystal Palace is very likely to be sniped, but the final result of the game is a big disappointment for those who are waiting to see the jokes of Crystal Palace!

I don't know if I was a little carried away by the media before the game, in this game with Crystal Palace, Everton actually changed the characteristics of their team's defensive counterattack, and played against Crystal Palace at the beginning!

Well, it's not that no team can play against Crystal Palace, but it is obvious that among these teams that have enough money to play against Crystal Palace, there will be no Hammers to help Everton!

No, it was devastating, just in the first half, Crystal Palace was far ahead of the score with Li Yi's hat trick!

If, if it weren't for the Champions League with Real Madrid to stay, Li Yi and Sneijder were selectively replaced at halftime, and Everton came back in the second half after being beaten by Crystal Palace's old punch, and the final score of this game could never just be fixed at 4-0.

If it is only from the point of avoiding being bloodbathed by Crystal Palace, only losing by 4 goals at home, Everton's side is still worth thanking!

However, if you look at the point of view that Everton sniped Crystal Palace as expected by the outside media before the game, Everton's game today is undoubtedly a disappointment and failure! ――

After playing a "tough battle" with Everton, Crystal Palace played two more Premier League games in the next week, and the opponents they faced were not too strong. Under the premise of sticking to the idea of affordable to the end, although the score is not large, Crystal Palace still easily beat the opponents they faced, and with a series of 9 consecutive wins across the competition system (Champions League + League + League Cup), announced to the world that the Premier League champion team last season is back!

And, just a winning streak is not counted, in other Premier League teams, when they lost points one after another, Crystal Palace, which was not too good at the beginning, quietly reached the top of the standings when the outside world didn't care too much!

Even, it's not counting that the Premier League standings have reached the top! Due to Real Madrid's unexpected defeat in the second leg of the clash with Juventus, in the Champions League, Crystal Palace actually temporarily relied on goal difference to top the group!

The simultaneous topping of these two leagues can be said to have blinded the attention of those media. You know, it was determined that Crystal Palace's side of the European experience is insufficient, before the game, various foreign media, that is generally believed, Crystal Palace is not able to break through from the Champions League group of death, who would have thought that not only in the league, but also maintained the level of last season, in the Champions League, Crystal Palace is still strong? ?
