Before the game, Tong Yi also accepted interviews from media reporters.
He said: "We at Crystal Palace are definitely confident about this game. This is our home court after all. And Sevilla actually has a lot of problems right now. Their offensive lines haven't integrated well yet, right? So, right? , for this game, I think it should be relatively easy for our Crystal Palace to win, right?"
The media reporters at the scene also nodded. This is indeed the case.
After all, Sevilla has not encountered a strong enemy so far this season. Crystal Palace is the first strong enemy they have encountered. Sevilla may be a little overwhelmed.
Tong Yi also said: "For now, our Crystal Palace is in very good shape, and the players' emotions are also very good. In this game, I really think there is no reason to lose. In this game we Crystal Palace will definitely win."
As soon as this word spread, Sevilla fans were very angry!
They feel that Chinese soft rice men are really too arrogant.
You actually look down on our Seville?
Do you, Crystal Palace, want to lose and panic? Just wait, your Crystal Palace will definitely lose in this game, for sure.
In this game, we, Sevilla, are invincible.
However, even Berizzo did not have such thoughts as the Sevilla fans.
Crystal Palace is indeed confident and high-profile.
After all, Crystal Palace has not lost a game so far this season. Moreover, Crystal Palace's previous opponents included powerful opponents such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool, and they still won completely. This shows the strength of Crystal Palace.
Therefore, Bellizzo felt that there was no problem at all when Tong Yi said this.
In fact, if it were Tong Yi, he might have said more hurtful words.
At this time, Berizzo reminded the Sevilla players to go all out in this game, otherwise, Sevilla might not have a chance.
The Sevilla players obviously wanted to win, so they nodded one after another. They said that they would definitely go all out to win this game.
Bellizzo is still very happy about this.
However, it is hard to say whether this game can be won.
Bellizzo's goal is actually to secure second place and qualify first in the group. In fact, there is no need to fight in the group stage and consume too much. But you still have to fight for it, after all, you have to show your attitude.
What if, what if Sevilla succeeds?
Therefore, before the game started, Bellizzo said to the media reporters: "We have only one goal in this game, and that is to win this game."
Sevilla is here to win.
Of course, Crystal Palace fans think that Bellizzo is just bragging. How can Sevilla beat our Crystal Palace? You Sevilla don’t have this strength! You have to know yourselves clearly.
Don't think that just playing in the bottom three and fifth in La Liga makes you awesome. You Sevilla can't do that.
Anyway, at this time, Crystal Palace fans are full of confidence in this game.
On September 13, 2017, the weather was cloudy at Tongyi Stadium in South London, England.

Did you see that all the main players from Crystal Palace played in this game?
In the last round of the Premier League, these main players were given rotation and rest just to play in this game. For this game, Tong Yi and Crystal Palace will definitely go all out, aiming for victory.
Therefore, I really don’t know whether Sevilla can handle it.
However, the Sevilla fans are very confident. They all feel that Sevilla will win this game and they are here to take revenge.
beep!
At this time, the referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game.
As soon as the game started, Crystal Palace, playing at home, pressed forward with all their strength and attacked Sevilla's goal. Sevilla's players were a little unprepared, so they seemed a little flustered. This gave Crystal Palace a chance. De Bruyne in the midfield received a pass from Casemiro. He easily dunked and pulled the ball directly to avoid Nzonzi's attack in front of him. Then, before the opposing midfielder Banega's defense, he quickly pushed the football to the wing with a diagonal kick.
Salah on the wing immediately caught the ball and caught the movement of Cancelo on the wing to attract the defensive attention. He quickly cut in and advanced directly into Sevilla's penalty area.
Ronaldo followed up in the middle of the penalty area and immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball. Sevilla's defensive players were shocked.
At this time, Sevilla's defensive players all pounced on Ronaldo, and their main attention was also on the Portuguese.
Because they are very familiar with Ronaldo!
After all, Ronaldo has been playing for Real Madrid before, and they have had many encounters in the league. They naturally know how powerful Ronaldo is. And they also know that those who have the playing style of Ronaldo's team must send the football to Ronaldo's feet.
Therefore, at this time, it seems that they are putting pressure on the player holding the ball, but in fact, all the attention is on Ronaldo. They hit and intercept all the routes to pass to Ronaldo, wait for their work, and prepare to steal the ball easily. .
However, at this time, Salah had no intention of passing the ball. He accelerated and passed Pareja in the penalty area, directly facing Sevilla's goalkeeper Rico.
At this time, the Sevilla players were shocked and terrified.
Danger, too dangerous!
Salah directly faced Sevilla's goalkeeper Rico alone!
Pareja was shocked, and secretly regretted why he had to focus on Ronaldo at that time, thus neglecting Salah's defense, and then Salah easily passed it. ah.
Pareja was shocked, but at this time he could do nothing but carefully interfere with Salah.
Because he was afraid that if he made a slightly bigger move, he would be awarded a penalty kick.
very dangerous!
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were very excited and stared at the stadium to cheer for Salah.
In their opinion, this goal must be scored!
Salah will not let them down!
Attack!
Rico, who was in front of the goal, abandoned the goal at this time. He rushed out crazily and pounced on Salah who was holding the ball.
But the moment he made the save, Salah, who was holding the ball, suddenly started to push. The football shot out quickly, quickly rolled between Rico's legs, and quickly rolled into Seville. Asia's goal.
The ball went in!
Less than a minute into the game, Crystal Palace scored a goal. This was also Crystal Palace's first attack of the game. This was a goal. This was simply a dream start, bringing the ball in. m.
pretty!
All the Crystal Palace fans at the scene screamed with excitement. The sound was so loud that it directly set the entire Tongyi Stadium on fire. The Crystal Palace fans were really excited and overjoyed.
It was a perfect start. There couldn't be a more perfect start.
Nice start.
Tong Yi also kept applauding, this ball was indeed played well. Then he quickly came to the sidelines and gave a thumbs up to the Crystal Palace players. All the players played well. Especially Ronaldo in the middle. Although he did not touch the ball this time, his containment power near the penalty area is really strong.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Salah to break through with the ball this time.
Salah also immediately turned around and gave a thumbs up to Ronaldo.
Tong Yi on the sidelines immediately turned to look at Bellizzo. I wonder what Bellizzo was thinking at this time?
Anyway, the Sevilla fans who came to the away game were silenced.
This start is really like a nightmare for them. I wonder how much confidence they still have now? Don't they still think that Sevilla can defeat Crystal Palace?
Anyway, at this time, the Crystal Palace fans were very excited and happy. In their opinion, Crystal Palace was sure to win this game.
The game restarted, and Sevilla quickly adjusted their mentality and got into the game.
The game has just begun. Although losing the ball is a very bad thing, fortunately there is still more time. Sevilla has plenty of time to score a goal and take the lead. Therefore, despite the fact that Crystal Palace is leading Sevilla 1-0 now, they really may not win this game.
What a chance we have in Seville!
The game restarted, and Sevilla tried to organize an attack to threaten the Crystal Palace goal. It's a pity that their side was intercepted by the Crystal Palace people who were pressing high up before half-time.
The pressure from the Crystal Palace people was really too strong, and they were not given much chance to react.
After stealing the ball, Kanter immediately pushed the football to Casemiro. Casemiro immediately passed the ball forward. After attracting the defensive player, he immediately passed the football across the wing. Cancelo rushed up without stopping the ball, but directly sent the football to De Bruyne's feet.
De Bruyne used his body to hold N'Zonzi, immediately pulled the ball and turned around, and then immediately sent a through ball directly, sending the football to the space between the two Sevilla center backs. .
And there, Ronaldo was rushing forward quickly and rushed directly into the space.
Suddenly, all the Sevilla fans at the scene were shocked. Could it be that Sevilla is going to be doomed again this time?
No way?
With a bang, Ronaldo blocked Kjaer behind him with his body, and without stopping the ball, he directly swung his leg and shot.
The football shot out quickly and flew towards Sevilla's goal.
Rico reacted very quickly in front of the goal. He immediately jumped out and stretched his hands straight to block the rapidly flying football.
However, the angle was too tricky and Rico didn't touch the football at all.
With a clang, the football hit the inside of the goal post hard, and then bounced quickly into the Sevilla goal.
In the audience, all Sevilla people were in mourning, including Bellizzo!
The ball went in!
Less than five minutes into the game, Crystal Palace scored two goals in a row, changing the score to 2-0, almost declaring victory in the game.
Seeing this, Tong Yi couldn't help but turn his head again and look at Bellizzo on the other side.
At this time, Bellizzo was staring into the stadium with a shocked face, his mouth slightly opened, and his eyes full of disbelief.
Some people died, but not completely...
