Defeating Basel, Crystal Palace reached the semi-finals of the 2013-2014 Europa League.
At the same time, the other three Europa League quarter-finals also concluded.
Alkmaar lost to Benfica 0-3, and Benfica advanced to the semi-finals.
Lyon lost to Juventus 1-3, and Juventus advanced to the semi-finals.
Porto lost to Sevilla 2-4, and Sevilla advanced to the semi-finals.
In this way, the top four of the Europa League in the 2013-2014 season were all born. They all came from four different leagues, one in Serie A, one in the Portuguese Super League, one in La Liga and one in the Premier League.
And the matchup of the semi-finals has also been announced.
Benfica [Portuguese Super League] vs. Juventus [Serie A]; Sevilla [La Liga] vs. Crystal Palace [Premier League]
Crystal Palace's next opponent is Sevilla.
To be honest, the outside media are not optimistic about Crystal Palace.
Media reporters and European betting companies have claimed that Juventus and Sevilla will definitely advance to the 2013-2014 Europa League finals, and the champion will be born among these two teams.
Currently, the bookmaker’s public offering of the highest winning odds is Juventus from Serie A.
After all, Juventus is a wealthy club!
Then there is Sevilla, and even media reporters are more optimistic about Sevilla. They feel that Sevilla is very strong this season and is in excellent form, and will definitely win the Europa League championship this season.
As for Crystal Palace and Benfica, neither media reporters nor betting companies are interested in them.
Especially Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace has the lowest odds of winning among the top four teams.
According to the betting company, the odds of Crystal Palace winning the championship are even less than 10%!
Moreover, outside media reporters all look down on Crystal Palace.
After all, you, Crystal Palace, are the newly promoted team!
Moreover, they believe that you, Tong 1, cannot be the illegitimate son of God. You can't lead two different promoted teams to win the Europa League. The probability is too low!
No one can do this!
It is absolutely impossible for you Chinese soft-boiled men to do this.
You can create something once, but how can you create miracles every time?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Crystal Palace to win the championship.
Of course, in the eyes of media reporters and spinach companies, it is impossible for Tong Yi, a Chinese soft rice man, to lead different newly promoted teams to win the championship twice.
What's more important is that these two times were so close.
Therefore, Tong 1 and Crystal Palace must not win the championship!
Benfica's winning odds are over 20%, which shows how unfavorable these media reporters and bookmakers are to Crystal Palace.
After the birth of the top four, media reporters flocked to Tong 1.
Webster asked: "Mr. Tong 1, who do you think among the top four teams in Europa this season has the highest chance of winning the championship? Do you think your Crystal Palace can win the championship?"
Tong 1 said calmly: "I led the team to the semi-finals just to feel the atmosphere? Our Crystal Palace goal is naturally to win the championship, and I am very confident, and my players are also very confident. As for you and I have no objection to the spinach company’s opinion!”
Webster nodded slightly. He had already guessed that Tong 1 would say this.
How could a head coach with Tong Yi's character swallow his anger?
Tong 1 also said: "Of course, the teams that can reach the semi-finals of the Europa League are very strong. Sevilla is a difficult team to beat, but it should be quite easy for us at Crystal Palace to defeat them. Don't think that we Crystal Palace is a newly promoted team and there is no threat. Think of Munich 1860 a few years ago! At that time, the media reporters and Porto people had the same idea as you, but what was the final result?"
Having said this, Tong Yi looked at the media reporters at the scene and chuckled, not hiding his contempt.
He continued: "The result - Munich 1860 is the champion!"
To be honest, the media reporters were very angry and angry when they saw Tong Yi's shameless look. But they really have no way to refute Tong 1's words.
Because what this guy Tong 1 said is the truth.
When Porto played against Munich 1860, media reporters and betting companies were in the same situation as now. They all praised Porto, wildly belittled and despised Munich 1860, and even ridiculed them.
Start, what’s the result?
Munich 1860 is the champion!
But even so, these media reporters still feel that it is impossible for Crystal Palace to win the championship, and this guy Tong 1 will definitely fall miserably this time!
They are all waiting and looking forward to it!
The grievances and humiliation they suffered a few years ago are now being paid back to Tong Yi, a soft-boiled man, in multiples.
Tong Yi did not have too much entanglement with these media reporters and left directly.
Now the Crystal Palace has a very heavy task. How can he have time to argue with these guys?
The current situation in the Premier League is much more subject to review than the Europa League.
At the end of the Premier League, if you are not careful, all your efforts and dedication this season will be wasted.
Therefore, at this time, Tong Yi devoted more energy to the league.
When the media reporters saw Tong Yi "escape", they felt secretly happy. They all felt that Tong Yi was scared.
Then, these media reporters went to interview the head coaches of other teams in the semi-finals.
When being interviewed by media reporters, Juventus head coach Conte said: "The teams that can reach the semi-finals are all very strong. They are all the best in their respective leagues! Therefore, the next games are also very special. Difficulties. But I am very confident in our Juventus. Our current state is so good that no team can stop us. We must be the champions of the Europa League!"
Juventus' strength and form this season are really good. They are currently sweeping all opponents in Serie A with an unstoppable momentum, ranking first in the league, 8 points ahead of second-placed Roma.
Moreover, Juventus is in very good condition, and Conte is confident that he will always win.
No wonder he said such domineering words.
Juventus have already secured the Europa League title.
However, Sevilla coach Unai Emery disagrees.
When interviewed by media reporters, Emery said: "The teams that can reach the semi-finals are all very strong. There are no weak teams among the semi-finals of the Europa League this season! Therefore, Conte's words have no basis! Juventus is very strong, but Sevilla are weak?"
Don't look at the fact that Sevilla's performance in La Liga is not very good at this time, ranking only fifth in La Liga. That's because they put all their attention on the Europa League. This season, the Europa League is Sevilla's main battlefield.
No wonder Emery has the confidence to challenge Conte.
Emery continued: "We at Sevilla have put all our attention on the Europa League this season. We will form the strongest lineup in the Europa League and show our best condition. So, In fact, we, Sevilla, are the strongest team in the Europa League this season. Juventus wants to distract the league. They are not as pure as us, and they do not pay as much attention to us. Therefore, facing Juventus, we Sevilla Yabi wins!"
Did you see that Emery is so confident!
Benfica's head coach Jorge Jesus said bluntly in an interview with media reporters: "The teams that can reach the semi-finals are very strong. But what I want to say is that Emery said too much. Full, and looking down on his opponents too much. Sevilla has indeed put all its attention on the Europa League, but this does not mean that you can beat other teams? Our team is in I am far superior to you in terms of strength, but I can still beat you Sevilla with less energy!"
Well, these head coaches are more high-profile and crazier than the other before the game!
Even an honest man like Jesus, who seems very approachable and honest, went crazy. This shows how popular Emery and Conte have become.
Jesus continued: "To be honest, in my opinion, we should not underestimate the Crystal Palace team! The fact that this newly promoted team can go all the way to now shows their different strengths. If we still use the newly promoted team If you look at Crystal Palace from a different perspective, we will definitely suffer the loss! And if you look at Crystal Palace’s head coach Tong 1, this young head coach from China is the youngest champion coach in the history of the Europa League! Once he led the newly promoted team to win the Europa League. Who can guarantee that he will not be able to repeat it this time? I think Crystal Palace is our biggest competitor! I think we will definitely win the Europa League final this season. Benfica faces Crystal Palace, and Crystal Palace is very strong. But I believe that I value them so much, and Benfica will not make any mistakes. Therefore, the final Europa League championship should belong to us Benfica!"
Well, Jesus also said that they can win the championship.
No, Jesus has the confidence to say this. Since he took over Benfica in 2009, he has won one Portuguese Super League championship and three Portuguese Super League Cup championships, and he has won three consecutive Portuguese Super Cup championships.
Jesus is also a real champion coach, so he is naturally confident.
You, Tong1, are very powerful, and I, Jesus, am even more powerful!
It's not easy to beat Crystal Palace.
The 2013-2014 Europa League championship will definitely be ours, Benfica.
These guys were making a lot of noise, but Tong Yi didn't react at all. He put all his attention on the league.
In the 33rd round of the 2013-2014 Premier League season, Crystal Palace faced Aston Villa at home.
Of course, Tong Yi's attention is not only on this, but also on their direct rival Liverpool.
Tong 1 directly called Schwartz, the team's data reconnaissance analyst, and said: "Stefan, this time I want you to take Saul to Anfield Stadium. I want you to keep an eye on me." Liverpool!"
There is a reason why Tong 1 did this, because in this round of games, Liverpool will face Manchester City at home Anfield Stadium. This game is a good opportunity for Crystal Palace. If Manchester City can defeat Liverpool, then Crystal Palace will have a chance to surpass Liverpool and reach the top of the Premier League.
Even if Manchester City cannot win, Schwartz and Campbell can collect intelligence about Liverpool at this stage and lay the foundation for subsequent games.
Schwartz nodded slightly and said, "I know, boss!"
Campbell also looked at Tong 1, nodded, and then said: "Don't worry, boss, I will remember your previous instructions and I will keep an eye on the Liverpool people."
Yes, Tong 1 had already discussed this matter with Campbell before this.
Tong 1 explained many detailed issues to Campbell, asking him to focus on observing these situations in Liverpool, summarize them, and then tell him.
Hearing what Campbell and the two said, Tong Yi nodded with satisfaction and signaled the two of them to set off quickly, time waits for no one!
Schwartz then left London with Campbell and headed for Merseyside.
