Fortunately, at the last moment of the game, Manchester City scored a face-saving goal!
It was Bernard Silva who scored the goal!
The result of one to three is still acceptable to Guardiola.
In this case, there is still room for maneuver between the two sides in the second round, and Manchester City still has hope of coming back.
Manchester City still has the possibility of beating Crystal Palace in the second round.
After the game, Guardiola said: "Yes, this game is actually a game we gave up. Our goal is still the 23rd round of the Premier League against Liverpool three days later. For our Manchester City team For me, Premier League games are still more important."
The media reporters nodded one after another, as they thought.
When they saw Manchester City's starting lineup, he already knew that Manchester City gave up on this game.
When Guardiola faced questions, he said: "Those words before the game were obviously meant to deceive the Crystal Palace people and make them invest 100% in this game. This will affect Their performance in the league. It's a pity that the Chinese soft rice man is cunning enough and didn't deceive him. In this game, Crystal Palace also came up with a lineup of substitutes and rotations, which is a pity!"
Yes, Guardiola hopes that Crystal Palace will devote all its main players and all its energy to this game and affect the league behind Crystal Palace. As long as Crystal Palace loses in the league, their Manchester City team will have a chance.
Unfortunately, this guy Tong Yi was not fooled.
And it also made his and Aguero's pre-match performances look silly!
Guardiola continued: "However, this result is not bad. The difference between the two goals is not very big. The next time we play in the second round, our Manchester City team still has a chance. I think our Manchester City team We can beat Crystal Palace."
Fans of other Premier League teams were unhappy.
They were also deceived. They were still waiting to see Manchester City fight Crystal Palace to defeat Crystal Palace and give them a show.
Result, that's it?
Very speechless!
This game is really worth paying attention to. It just depends on the young people of your two teams gaining experience with each other here?
waste time!
They don't really believe in Manchester City now, and some even think it's good that Manchester City can't win the championship. At least they feel happy. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let Crystal Palace win the championship.
Come on Crystal Palace!
Yes, some people are leaning towards Crystal Palace.
However, Tong Yi didn't care or care about this. Because his focus is also on the league.
At the post-match press conference, Tong Yi said: "I didn't think that Manchester City would give up in this game and send some young people to participate in this game. The arrangements for this game are our club's According to the normal arrangement, in our long-term plan, our Crystal Palace will send out a rotation lineup for this game.”
The media reporters don’t believe it, absolutely don’t believe it.
Tong Yi continued: "Because the young people and rotation players in our Crystal Palace club need opportunities to play, we have to train them, and they have to play many games. After all, this is a two-round game, the first round It’s also a good option to let some rotation players play.”
The media reporters still didn't believe it and felt that Tong Yi was lying.
Tong Yi said: "Manchester City didn't cause us much trouble in this game. Their minds were not on this game, so the result of this game doesn't mean anything. Manchester City is still A very strong team, they are still our biggest competitor to Crystal Palace this season!”
This is Tong Yi’s truth!
Moreover, after seeing Guardiola's behavior in this game, he knew that Manchester City had not given up on the league. Manchester City was determined to compete with Crystal Palace in the league.
Therefore, the league is particularly important to Crystal Palace now.
There really cannot be any surprises in the following games!
At this time, some media reporters also asked Tong Yi about his views on Liverpool's home game against Manchester City in the next round of the Premier League.
Tong Yi said bluntly: "Of course I hope Liverpool will win. Firstly, Klopp is coaching at Liverpool, and secondly, Manchester City is our competitor. I hope to see Manchester City lose!"
The media reporters nodded one after another, they believed this was the truth!
Tong Yi also said: "However, Manchester City has prepared a lot of things for this game and has given up a lot of things. Obviously, Manchester City has to waste a lot of things in this game. Energy. So in this game, it is actually difficult for Liverpool to defeat Manchester City. I really don’t know what the result will be, but I hope Liverpool can win!"
Tong Yi repeatedly emphasized that he hopes Liverpool will win, which shows his attitude.
But to be honest, he himself doesn't know whether Liverpool can win.
After all, this game really has no impact on Manchester City's main players. Manchester City will play with a brand-new lineup in the next game, and Liverpool will probably encounter great difficulties.
However, even if Liverpool loses, the impact on Crystal Palace will not be particularly big.
Because, Crystal Palace’s league opponent in the next round is Burnley!
Burnley's performance this season is very good, which can be regarded as the best season in recent years. They have now entered the European qualification zone and are now launching an impact towards the Champions League qualification.
However, even so, Tong Yi is still confident of defeating Burnley.
In terms of strength, there is still a very big gap between Burnley and Crystal Palace.
Therefore, even if Manchester City wins, it will be like that. As long as there are no problems on their side of Crystal Palace, Manchester City's results will not threaten them no matter how good they are.
Therefore, you still need to be strong in order to strike iron!
However, Tong Yi and Crystal Palace fans are really paying attention to the match between Manchester City and Liverpool. They all really hope that Manchester City loses. Because in this case, the pressure on their Crystal Palace will be much lighter. It is even possible to lock in the Premier League championship this season in advance.
Therefore, they naturally hope that Manchester City will lose.
After this game, Tong Yi directly led the Crystal Palace team back to South London to prepare for the 23rd round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season. In this game, they faced Burnley at home. Moreover, the game between Crystal Palace and Burnley is played one day earlier than the game between Liverpool and Manchester City.
Therefore, Tong Yi went back early to prepare.
When being interviewed by media reporters, Tong Yi also said: "Burnley's results this season are very good, and their strength has also been greatly improved. We at Crystal Palace are not 100% able to win against them. Of course we can only go all out here, which is why our Crystal Palace sent out a rotating lineup in the just-concluded English League Cup."
Yes, Crystal Palace is also preparing for this game.
Tong Yi's words have made it obvious that Crystal Palace will definitely play with all their main players in this game.
This is not good news for Burnley.
Burnley's head coach Sean Dai Qi naturally felt very serious when he heard these words. He knew that this game would not be easy to play. Crystal Palace's strength is here, and they may have to fight hard for Burnley in this game.
Dai Qi said this when facing media reporters: "I have known for a long time that this game will be very difficult for us Burnley. After all, Crystal Palace is the team at the top of the league, and it is also the current team in the Premier League. Against a winning team, with all their main players, it will be difficult for us at Burnley..."
To be honest, he thought he would face Crystal Palace's rotation players in this game.
After all, in his perception, Crystal Palace should fight Manchester City with all its main players. Who would have thought that Tong Yi would be so bold as to use a rotating lineup to play against Manchester City? When they thought about it, Manchester City themselves gave in and fell in love with many young people!
It's a pity, it's a pity that these two teams didn't fight it out!
If these two teams fight for real, then Burnley will have a chance in this game.
It's really a pity.
Dai Qi continued: "Of course, even if this is the case, we at Burnley must go all out in this game. Because you also know that we at Burnley have reached this position now, and we definitely want to go all out. Go ahead and win the next games. Our goal at Burnley is to qualify for the European competition next season!"
Yes, Dai Qi values this qualification very much!
It has been five years since he started coaching Burnley in 2012, and he has never led a team to qualify for the European Cup. Now that the opportunity is so great this season, he will naturally try his best.
Hearing this, Tong Yi can understand!
Moreover, in the memory of the previous life, Burnley did qualify for the European Cup after the end of this season. This is the first time that their club has qualified for the European Cup in 51 years. No wonder Dai Qi is so determined, he wants to lead the team to create history! 33
However, this time and space is a bit difficult!
Because of Tong Yi and the butterfly of Crystal Palace, it will be more difficult for Burnley to qualify for the European competition this season.
Moreover, in the current game, Tong Yi must go all out because he does not want to be caught up by the Manchester City team behind him. In this game, Crystal Palace will naturally defeat Burnley.
This is not good news for Burnley.
Dai Qi also said: "I know that Crystal Palace is very strong, and I also know that they will play with all their main players in this game, but this does not mean that Burnley will not have a chance! I also know that Crystal Palace is currently So far, we have won all the Premier League games this season, so what? I don’t think Burnley has no chance. Just watch, in this game, I will definitely lead Burnley to create an excellent game. Chance! We at Burnley will definitely win this game!"
The Burnley fans were very happy and supported Dai Qi one after another. They also firmly believed that Burnley would win this game!
Of course, at this time, Manchester City and Chelsea fans are supporting Burnley, and they also hope to see Burnley defeat Crystal Palace. In this case, teams like them will have a chance! They cheered for Burnley one after another, waved the flag for Burnley, and hoped that they could defeat Crystal Palace.
It is said that Manchester City fans are watching this game in front of the TV, expecting Burnley to create a miracle and defeat Crystal Palace. Manchester City is the team that is most eager to see Crystal Palace lose. If Crystal Palace does not lose, Manchester City will have no chance.
So, Burnley people, come on!
At another time, in the 23rd round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season, Crystal Palace's home game against Burnley officially began!
Some people died, but not completely...
