138: Successfully reached the English League Cup final

Crystal Palace and Chelsea will play the second leg at Stamford Bridge, away.

Fortunately, both parties are in London, not far away.

Therefore, Tong Yi and Crystal Palace came to the four Stamford Bridge stadiums that day in a hurry.

For this game, Tong Yi naturally went all out and was full of confidence.In this game, Crystal Palace does not necessarily have to win, but they must advance.

Yes, this is Tong Yi's goal in this game.

Of course, Chelsea's goal is also very clear, which is to win and advance to the final of the League Cup.

Chelsea have already lost the Club World Cup, and this championship cannot be lost again!

Therefore, in this game, Chelsea has a reason to win.

Before the game, Chelsea coach Benitez also accepted an interview with media reporters. He said: "Yes, our only goal for Chelsea in this game is to win this game and advance to the League Cup." Of course, I know very well that the strength of Crystal Palace is not weak, but you must know that our Chelsea team is also very strong, at least much stronger than Crystal Palace. I have confidence in this game! "

Yes, Benitez did not give Tong Yi and Crystal Palace any face.

Tong Yi didn't care either.

When Benitez faced the questions from the media reporters, he said: "Yes, my players naturally have very strong confidence. You can rest assured that Fernando will definitely score in this game. He has such quality, and he is in a very good form. This game, we Chelsea must win!"

It seems that Benitez is really safe.

Of course, Tong Yi also accepted interviews from media reporters. Tong Yi said: "Chelsea is very strong. After all, they are the third team in the Premier League. They are a strong opponent for our Crystal Palace. But , we Crystal Palace will not give up, you can rest assured that we will go all out and we will definitely advance to the final of the English League Cup!"

Media reporters also asked Tong Yi about Torres. Tong Yi said: "Torres is obviously a very good striker. He is very free and has superb shooting skills. He is a very good striker. Said Really, if he is not happy at Chelsea, he can choose to come to Crystal Palace. Next season, Crystal Palace will also be in the Premier League."

The media reporters were all taken aback. Tong Yi actually wanted to poach Torres?

Does Tong Yi still think that this guy Torres can be saved?

Although Torres has scored some goals this season, his level is still very poor, and he can still see empty goals.Do you want such a striker at Crystal Palace?You Crystal Palace are too hungry to choose food!

Tong Yi didn't care about the strange eyes of these media reporters. He continued: "Don't worry, I'm serious. I'm still very optimistic about Torres. If he really wants to, he can come to our Crystal Palace!"

Torres was also shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect Tong Yi to poach him.

Of course, he has no intention of leaving Chelsea now.

He wants to stay at Chelsea, to prove himself in Chelsea, Torres is not a parallel importer!

This season, Torres has worked very hard and he has also scored good goals.Now he is on his way to prove himself, and he firmly believes that he will reach his goal soon.

Facing the questions from the media reporters, Torres said: "Thank you David. Coach for your attention, but I prefer to stay at Chelsea, so I'm sorry. I still have a lot of things to do at Chelsea, and I won't leave until I finish. of."

Benitez and the others haven't expressed their views on this yet, Chelsea fans have begun to express their views.They all called on Torres to leave Chelsea and go to Crystal Palace as soon as possible. If there are still people who want you, you should leave quickly, and we Chelsea can still recover part of the losses.

It can be seen that Chelsea fans really lost confidence in Torres.

I even wish I could get rid of Torres immediately.

And Chelsea fans shouted directly: "The winter transfer door has not yet closed, you can still leave now, hurry up and seize the opportunity, time is running out!"

Hearing the shouting of these fans, Torres' face was not good.

To be honest, he didn't expect Chelsea fans to treat him like this, and he was in a bad mood.

However, he still doesn't want to leave, he doesn't want to leave Chelsea.

The more you are like this, the more I want to stay and prove myself. I, Torres, am not a parallel importer. I, Torres, want you to know how good I am!

At this time, Benitez was also interviewed by media reporters. He said: "The reason why I was hired by Mr. Abramovich as the head coach of Chelsea is to help Fernando recover. I and Mr. Abramovich believes in Fernando, and he will stand on top of the world again. We firmly believe that he can shine in Chelsea and lead Chelsea to the next glory!"

Obviously, Chelsea fans don't want to believe it, and they don't even want to listen to Benitez and the others.

They are still chanting the slogan of letting Torres get out.

It seems that Chelsea fans have reached the limit of their patience with Torres!

Under such circumstances, Chelsea ushered in Crystal Palace at their home stadium Stamford Bridge. This is the second round of the Carabao Cup semi-finals. They must win, and they must have a score of more than two goals. Only by winning can they advance to the finals.

Therefore, there is still a lot of pressure on Benitez at this time.

After all, Chelsea fans are also very dissatisfied with him now, and many people want to oust him from the stage.The loss of the Club World Cup has already aroused public outrage. If they lose the League Cup this time, Chelsea fans will really not be able to bear it.

It will even affect Abramovich's trust in him.

Therefore, in this game, Chelsea must win, and it must be a big victory.

In this game, Benitez was still affected. He made an adjustment in the starting lineup, that is, Demba Ba replaced Torres in the starting lineup.

Yes, today's game Torres did not appear in the starting list, but sat on the bench.

It seems that Benitez is still influenced by the fans.

Chelsea's starting line-up for today is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Back four [from left to right]: Cole, Cahill, Ivanovic and Azpilicueta

Double midfielders: Lampard and Ramirez

Three forwards [from left to right]: Hazard, Marta and Oscar

Single striker: Demba Ba

There are still some changes in this lineup and the first round of the match between the two sides. The goalkeeper Petr Cech has finally returned from injury. This is a very big guarantee for the Chelsea people, and the Chelsea fans are very excited and excited.

Then midfielder Lampard started to replace the previous Luis, who has a problem with his sense of defensive position.And Lampard's offensive ability is obviously stronger than that of Louis. It can also be seen from this that Chelsea is going to strengthen their offense.

What surprised Tong Yi the most was that Torres did not start, but sat on the bench.

It seems that Benitez did not withstand the pressure.

Seeing this, Tong Yi felt that their chances for Crystal Palace were even greater in this game.

As soon as the game started, Chelsea launched a fierce attack.

Yes, from the start of the game, the Chelsea men were on the attack.Obviously, Benitez has made a very big transformation of this Chelsea team, that is, their offense.Chelsea's offense is really as fierce as the tide, flocking frantically to the goal of Crystal Palace.

Tong Yi was very nervous watching it!

Chelsea's offensive strength is really strong!

Tong Yi has almost never sat on the coach's bench safely. He has been standing on the sidelines directing the team's defense and reminding his defensive players.

After Lampard played, Chelsea's offense became more three-dimensional, and it really caused a lot of trouble for Crystal Palace.Moreover, Lampard's long-range shots were very threatening, and even almost broke through the gate guarded by Edward.

"Pay attention to your defensive position, don't give the opponent a chance to shoot easily! When the opponent shoots, you must put pressure on the opponent, and you can't let them shoot comfortably, understand?" Tong Yi growled loudly, commanding own defensive players.

Yes, facing a strong team like Chelsea, Tong Yi no longer expects the team to prevent the team from giving Chelsea a chance to shoot.He just hopes that his defensive players will give Chelsea enough defensive pressure when they shoot, so that he will be satisfied.

Chelsea's offense was fierce, but they quickly felt the sharp defense of the Crystal Palace people.

The Crystal Palace players executed Tong Yi's tactics meticulously. According to Tong Yi's arrangement, it caused a lot of trouble for Chelsea's offensive players.Seven and 10 minutes into the game, Chelsea had failed to score against Crystal Palace.

very dangerous!

Chelsea is getting more and more dangerous!

In the last 10 minutes, they had to score two goals to enter overtime, and three goals to successfully advance to the Carabao Cup final.It was difficult and Chelsea fans thought it was a dead end.

Benitez was also very surprised: "This Tong Yi is really good. His team's defense is so good, he won't give us Chelsea a chance!"

regret!

Benitez is a bit regretful. He regrets not having Torres in the starting line-up. If Torres was played, the game would definitely not be like this. Today, Demba Ba has no chance at all!

Substitution, in the last ten minutes, Benitez replaced Torres.

Torres showed his performance from the beginning, and almost broke the goal of Crystal Palace with two consecutive high-quality shots.If it weren't for Edward's superb performance, Torres would have helped the team equalize.

By this time, even Chelsea fans could see that Torres was a little late.

Today's Torres state is really good.

Tong Yi also felt a little scared, Torres' state today is really amazing.If Benitez let Torres start the game at the beginning of the game, it is impossible to say that their Crystal Palace will really be over in this game.

Towards the end of the game, Crystal Palace launched a very threatening counterattack.

It's a pity that Murray's shovel shot from the back point in the penalty area was magically saved by Cech.

hiss!

Cech is really amazing.

In the end, Crystal Palace drew Chelsea 2012-2013 in the away game, successfully defeated Chelsea with a total score of [-]-[-], and advanced to the final of the [-]-[-] English League Cup.
