Yes, Tong Yi led the Crystal Palace players to Ukraine to participate in the first round of the 2013-2014 Europa League knockout round.

In this round of competition, Crystal Palace’s opponent is the Ukrainian giant Dynamo Kiev.

Dynamo Kyiv is the well-deserved dominant team in Ukraine.

They have won the Ukrainian Super League championship a total of 13 times in history, and from 1992 to 2004, they won 11 consecutive Ukrainian Super League championships, which is simply the top spot in the Ukrainian Super League!

Moreover, they have won 9 Ukrainian Cup championships, 5 Ukrainian Super Cup championships, 2 European Cup Winners Cup championships, and 1 European Super Cup championship!

And there was no solution in the Soviet Union.

As a team, they won 13 Soviet League championships, 9 Soviet Cup championships, and 3 Soviet Super Cup championships. ??

This is a proper honor harvester!

And this team also has many well-known teams, the most well-known of which is the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Andrei Shevchenko!

Yes, Shevchenko came from the youth training of this team and performed very well here. He is one of the club's legends.

However, Shevchenko is not the best player to emerge from this team.

The best is Oleg Blokhin. This player born in 1952 is the best shooter in the former Soviet Union. He also won the European Ballon d'Or in 1975, which is also the European Footballer.

So far, he still holds many records at Dynamo Kiev.

He is the player with the most appearances in the history of Dynamo Kyiv, playing 423 games. He is also the player with the most goals for Dynamo Kyiv, scoring 266 goals. He is also the player with the most goals in the Dynamo Kyiv League, scoring 266 goals.

Scored 211 balls.

He is also the idol of Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko!

So this team really cannot be underestimated.

More importantly, Blokhin is still the head coach of Dynamo Kiev!

From the time he took over the team in 2012 to now, Dynamo Kyiv's results are still good, but the recent results are not particularly ideal.

But he has absolute prestige in the team.

Therefore, in Tong Yi's opinion, this away game is actually very difficult to play.

Tong Yi also attaches great importance to this opponent. After all, Tong Yi also wants to go further in the Europa League.

After arriving in Kiev, Ukraine, Tong Yi accepted interviews from local media reporters.

Local reporters still have a good impression of Tong Yi, a Chinese, perhaps because the former Soviet Union and China had a good relationship. The people here still have a good sense of Chinese people and are very friendly.

Facing the questions from these media reporters, Tong Yi said, "Mr. Blokhin is indeed a very good player and head coach. I respect him very much. He is a very capable person.

Dynamo Kyiv, who is led by the team, is also very difficult to play. This game should be very difficult for us at Crystal Palace. Our goal is to escape unscathed and strive to win in the second round!"

These are Tong Yi's true thoughts and are not meant to be flattering.

Blokhin is really a good head coach. After retiring, he coached in the Greek league for a long time. Later, he took over the Ukrainian national team in 2003, led the team to enter and participate in the 2006 World Cup, and achieved good results.

And in 2011, he took over the Ukrainian national team for the second time and led the team to the 2012 European Cup.

His performance in the Ukrainian national team is still very good.

He is the most famous head coach in Ukraine and the star of Ukrainian football.

Blokhin is definitely a difficult being to deal with!

Tong Yi also said, "Of course, when we come here, we also hope to take away the victory. We will definitely go all out in this game. As for the result, we will leave it to the game!"

When the Ukrainians saw Tong Yi's response, they all felt that Dynamo Kyiv should be safe in this game.

Because this guy Tong Yi has no confidence at all.

How can Crystal Palace play in this game?

Isn’t that a lost word?

However, Dynamo Kiev head coach Blokhin said in an interview, "Don't underestimate David and Crystal Palace. Although Crystal Palace is a newly promoted team, they are now the team at the top of the Premier League. They can win in the middle and late stages of the league.

The team that defeated the Manchester duo, the London duo and Hong Kong Liverpool is definitely not an easy team to deal with. We must take it seriously and cannot underestimate our opponents! Your current mentality is very dangerous..."

Yes, Blokhin feels that the mentality of the Ukrainian media is a little too arrogant, and some look down on the Crystal Palace too much.

This is going to be a big loss!

What he is also afraid of now is that the players of Dynamo Kyiv will be affected by Tong Yi's words, and they will rise up and despise the players of Crystal Palace. If this is the case, Dynamo Kyiv will really be doomed!

Blokhin also said, "Even though David is young, he is really a very good and experienced head coach, and he is also very cunning. As soon as he came to Ukraine, he set his profile very low.

, obviously trying to make us be careless and despise them. Obviously, he has succeeded now. You have all fallen into the trap!"

The media reporters all frowned, is this really the case?

Is young Tong Yi really that cunning?

Bloxin thought to himself, "This little guy Tong Yi is more cunning than you think!"

Otherwise, how could he lead Crystal Palace to beat the crowd and reach the top of the Premier League?

This game is difficult to play!

Blokhin really did not underestimate Tong Yi, but also took it very seriously. He treated Tong Yi as their strongest opponent this season. Before the game, he reminded their players many times to be serious.

Don't underestimate your opponent, this game is very difficult.

The players of Dynamo Kyiv still underestimated Crystal Palace a little bit.

After all, Crystal Palace is just a newly promoted team in the Premier League. Even if you are very strong, how strong can you be?

Seeing this, Blokhin's face looked a little ugly.

Why!

He sighed and reminded the players again, but he really couldn't control whether the players listened or not.

And to be honest, he was a little bored too!

At this time, he already had plans to leave Dynamo Kyiv, or even retire!

Now he is just standing guard for the last time.

This happened several times, and he was very serious.

In this game, he still wants to compete with Tong Yi!

In this game, he fielded his full lineup, hoping to take a further step in the Europa League.

Tong Yi's side has been rotated, but there are still many main players starting.

After all, these starting players also had enough rest in the previous games.

However, Tong Yi also has to consider that three days after this game ends, they will go to face Manchester United. How should they consider that game?

To be honest, this is really a devilish schedule for Crystal Palace.

This week, Crystal Palace will play three games.

The schedule is too intensive!

In this game, Tong Yi made a rotation, and the starting list is as follows

edouard

The back four from left to right Robertson, Carvalho, Van Dijk and Zhang Linpeng

Double defensive midfielder Weigl and Kante

Single attacking midfielder De Bruyne

The front three from left to right Salah, Lukaku and Sane

Tong Yi is still thinking about the next league game, otherwise Pogba, Mane and Paulinho will also start. Today they have a rest, and they are obviously preparing for Manchester United.

However, even their current lineup is quite strong.

Blokhin takes it very seriously.

However, what makes Blokhin dissatisfied is that the players of Dynamo Kyiv still make him very uncomfortable. These guys still underestimate the Crystal Palace people on the court. Once they start, they are completely passive and Crystal Palace presses from the high position.

He really suppressed them until they had no temper at all.

Obviously, the intensity of Crystal Palace's high-post press was beyond the expectations of the Dynamo Kyiv players, which made them a little panicked. At this moment, the high-pressure

After successfully intercepting the ball, De Bruyne made a direct pass and accurately sent the football into the space in the ribs of the penalty area.

Salah moved forward and volleyed the ball into Dynamo Kyiv's goal.

One to zero!

Seeing this goal, Tong Yi nodded slightly. He knew that Crystal Palace should win this game. These Dynamo Kyiv players obviously had mental problems. They had no way to compete with Crystal Palace.

Tong Yi smiled slightly, it seemed that the little tricks before the game were successful.

These Dynamo Kiev players are really a little bit arrogant and underestimated them.

Blokhin's face on the sidelines was a bit ugly, and he kept shaking his head. I have reminded you before the game, but you still don't pay attention. If you don't lose, who will lose?

This is also one of the reasons why Bloxin is tired!
