Legendary Godfather

Not long after signing Ronaldo, Tong Yi was preparing to hold a joining ceremony for new players in the new season.

Yes, Crystal Palace's recruitment efforts are not large this season.

Because Crystal Palace's lineup has been maintained very well, there are almost no major changes.

The only big change is the center position.

You see, Zlatan Ibrahimovic left the center position, Ignacio's career was reimbursed, and Jimenez realized his dream of being the son of the emperor. Therefore, Crystal Palace's center position was completely destroyed.

However, this summer, they introduced Cristiano Ronaldo and Giroud, and then recalled Haaland who was on loan, so they will have enough personnel at the center position for the new season.

And in Tong Yi's view, the Crystal Palace center position in the new season is no worse than last season, or even better.

c. Ronaldo is very strong and physically fit, and can play high-intensity and long-distance games. Coupled with the rotation of Giroud and Haaland, there is no problem at all in the center position.

At the winger position, Crystal Palace left Perisic and Asensio this season, which are two rotating wingers. The impact on Crystal Palace is quite big, but this summer Tong Yi also added Gnabry and recalled Sancho who was on loan, so there should be no big problem.

After all, the main players Mbappe and Salah in these two positions are very strong and iron men, so they are unlikely to cause problems. .??.

So these two positions are also very stable.

Tong Yi is not worried at all now.

In the midfield position, Crystal Palace lost Witsel this summer, so this is not a big problem.

After all, Crystal Palace's current lineup includes Casemiro, Kanter and Llorente, and the rotation of these three is enough. Moreover, Tong Yi also called back the Frenchman Joan Armene who was on loan and asked him to serve as a substitute. So there is no need to worry in this position, Crystal Palace is still very strong.

There are no changes in the defense and goalkeeper positions, they are still the same configuration as last season.

Can you just say that this kind of Crystal Palace can't be very competitive in the new season?

Crystal Palace remains a strong contender for the Premier League title.

Although, at this time, "The Times" reporter Webster was still clamoring that Crystal Palace would not work in the new season, that it would be finished, that Crystal Palace would be hollowed out this summer, and so on. But at present, most media reporters are still optimistic about Crystal Palace.

At least so far, Crystal Palace has really not sold many main players.

Even Salah, who was rumored to be leaving, accepted interviews with media reporters and officially announced that he would stay at Crystal Palace this season and would not leave.

This made Webster and Delvestri very disappointed, and at the same time they couldn't understand it.

Why did Salah reject a weekly salary of more than 300,000 pounds and choose to stay at Crystal Palace for a weekly salary of 190,000 pounds?

This is unreasonable!

How unreasonable!

There must be something in here

Shit, Salah must have had something in Tong Yi's hands. Otherwise, why would he refuse the high salary and stay in Crystal Palace?

Faced with a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds and a weekly salary of 190,000 pounds, any individual knows how to choose!

But Salah made a choice that made everyone unbelievable.

If you say there's nothing fishy here, even the dogs won't believe it.

Tong Yi, a Chinese soft-boiled man, is really rubbish. He even threatened players with dirty information to stay in the Crystal Palace. He is really inhumane.

Tong Yi, Salah and others were speechless!

Webster is really completely immersed in his own worldview. As long as it goes against the logic of their world, they feel that there must be something wrong with it, and there may even be something wrong with this world.

Tong Yi and Salah were really speechless.

It's really sad for this profession that a guy like this can even join the ranks of famous journalists.

Although, at this time Salah has come forward to explain that he has no intention of transferring. But at this time, there are still many clubs chasing Salah.

None of these clubs are stopping.

Mourinho, Wenger and Guardiola all found Tong Yi and asked about the conditions for taking Salah away.

It can be seen that these three really like Salah very much.

However, Tong Yi still said sorry, Salah is not for sale to the team, at least this season.

These three people were very disappointed.

What a disappointment!

After sending these three away, Tong Yi has already begun to prepare for the joining ceremony of the new players. The youth team players recalled from other places will also attend the joining ceremony of the new players.

So, this is quite strong.

Tong Yi and Crystal Palace both take it seriously!

However, at this stall, Klopp came to South London again and found Tong Yi again!

Seeing Klopp, Tong Yi was speechless!

Klopp, although we know each other very well, but you can't be so borderless? You can't catch our Crystal Palace ball and throw it away! Can't you go and throw some other balls too?

Tong Yichen didn't want to receive Klopp.

However, Klopp didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and walked directly into Tong Yi's office unimpeded.

Tong Yi was speechless and stared at Klopp.

Klopp said calmly, "Don't look at me like that. I'm not going to poach your main players this time."

Tong Yi said coldly, "You can't even rotate players!"

Klopp immediately

He said, "I'm not poaching your main rotation players, I'm just interested in a substitute veteran. He is dispensable to your Crystal Palace and is not that important. Giving it to us, Liverpool, will have little impact on you." Otherwise, I wouldn’t come to you.”

Tong Yi looked at Klopp a little doubtfully, why don't I believe what you said?

Klopp said very firmly, "Believe me, he is really a player who is not very important to you."

Tong Yi looked Klopp up and down, and then asked weakly, "Who?"

Klopp chuckled and said, "I knew you were easy to talk to!"

Tong Yi directly waved his hand and said, "Tell me who it is first, tell me and let me hear it, and then talk!"

Klopp immediately nodded and said, "Benatia, he shouldn't be too important to your club, right? After all, after the training in previous seasons, Dias and Upamecano can perfectly replace Benatia." Now. Benatia staying in your Crystal Palace shouldn’t be of any use, right?”

Tong Yi pondered slightly, he really didn't expect Klopp to come for Benatia.

But it’s understandable when you think about it. After all, Liverpool’s main center back combination in the new season is Laporte + De Ligt. It is indeed a bit young. It needs an experienced center back like Benatia, and it was once briefly Recognized as the world's number one centre-back, he is a good complement in terms of experience, and he can also teach Laporte and De Ligt through words and deeds. Liverpool's introduction of Benatia is also a good move.

Moreover, Klopp also said correctly that Benatia is no longer so important to the current Crystal Palace.

It can even be said to be dispensable!

Therefore, Tong Yi did not hesitate and said directly, "If you want to take him away, I have no objection. But our club does not own his ownership. We only loaned him for two seasons, and his ownership is still with Bayern Munich. This You have to negotiate with Bayern Munich, and if your negotiation is successful, I can terminate his contract for free."

Tong Yi was already very angry.

Klopp was also full of gratitude. He thanked Tong Yi and left to discuss Benatia's transfer with Bayern Munich. Tong Yi can now prepare for the joining ceremony of the new players, and then start the official gathering for the new season, and then start the physical reserve training before the new season.

This physical reserve training is a top priority for Crystal Palace, and Tong Yi and his coaching staff take it very seriously!

The top priority is to carry out the joining ceremony for the new players!

Of course, before dealing with this matter, Tong Yi has another matter that must be dealt with as soon as possible.

That is the problem with the Crystal Palace coaching staff in the new season.

After all, this summer, the Crystal Palace coaching staff left Beckham, Yuan Zhen, Vieri and others. Now the Crystal Palace coaching staff has a big problem. until now

So far, the club has no assistant coach who is responsible for the team's offensive training.

There are quite a few coaches responsible for defense, such as Ferdinand, Kruger and McCarthy. McCarthy has even become Tong Yi's first assistant coach, because this guy has the experience of leading a team alone in the youth training camp, and even led the Crystal Palace reserve team alone, with good results.

So after Vieri left, McCarthy completed the overtaking in the corner, directly surpassed Ferdinand and became the first assistant coach of the Crystal Palace Club.

Tong Yi is still very satisfied with McCarthy's ability. He scanned McCarthy through the "Eye of Bole". McCarthy's coaching talent is 169, which is very high. His current strength is 157, and he can do it with Tong Yi. The assistant coach has made many mistakes and is accumulating experience. In a year or two, he can make his debut and follow the path of his senior brothers Campbell and Vieri to coach alone.

At present, Ferdinand's talents are mainly responsible for defensive training, so Ferdinand should be a very good assistant coach, but he will still be slightly worse as a head coach. But it's not bad, it's just more difficult to become the world's top head coach.

Tong Yi still hopes that Ferdinand will professionally engage in defensive training.

However, neither McCarthy nor Ferdinand is likely to be directly responsible for the team's offensive training at this time. McCarthy is better. After all, he also conducted offensive training when he coached the youth team and reserve team alone, but his experience is not particularly rich. For a team like Crystal Palace that aims to win the championship, he is still a little behind. .

At least, a team like Crystal Palace will not give him a chance to grow through trial and error.

Crystal Palace needs a mature head coach responsible for offensive training.

At present, Tong Yi has a very good candidate, and that is his former assistant and his mentor Frank's former rival Stecrus!

However, when the two were in Munich 1860, the relationship between the two was very bad by the media reporters. Stecrus was even branded a traitor and was scolded for a long time. Even if Stecrus doesn't care, if he switches to Tong Yi at this time, the outside world will be in trouble. The pressure of public opinion from the outside world will be very great, and there will be scoldings and so on. Can Te Cruz withstand it?

And Tong Yi was a little reluctant to expose Stecrus to such negative publicity.

Therefore, Tong Yi is still quite confused at this time.

However, if I really want to say that the most suitable person is definitely Stecrus.

After he came to the team, he almost didn't need to adjust and was able to get started directly. Moreover, he also knew very well what Tong Yi needed and was able to complete the task without too much complicated communication.

Stercrux is indeed the best choice!

But Tong Yi was still a little confused on whether to invite Stecrus back.
