In the match between Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, the two sides ended with a score of 0-0. Crystal Palace played with 10 men in the second half, and Chris Richards was sent off for two controversial yellow cards. But Crystal Palace still tried their best and showed strong team resilience.
After the game, Will Hughes said: "This game can be divided into two parts. Our performance in the first half was not ideal, but this is acceptable. After all, after two defeats, the team's confidence has been hit."
"Even though we were down to 10 men, we showed our strength against a top team that was also fighting for European qualification."
"We created a lot of chances in the second half and I thought we were very threatening offensively and we were very solid defensively. I'm really proud of the boys for their hard work."
"When there are 10 people left, you fight side by side with them, everyone supports each other, which gives me great confidence. After two defeats, the team's confidence will inevitably be affected, but we did not give up easily and persisted to the end, so this point is what we deserve."
Will Hughes also said: "I think every player performed very well in the second half, especially in the defense in the penalty area. Facing such a strong team, their offensive ability is really sharp. We played with 10 people most of the time, but the opponent still found it difficult to break through, so the team's performance was really good and I am very satisfied."
"Defending the box has always been our focus and we did a good job in that regard. We have conceded 10 goals in the past two games, so we have to go back to basics and improve our defense. In the first half, we may have been a little too respectful to the opponent. I think we could have done a little closer in the game, so we are a little disappointed with the result."
"When the team was down to 10 men, I thought the team showed a lot of grit and fighting spirit, which is what we always expect, and I'm really proud of them."
