Legendary Godfather

After finishing Van Dijk, Tong Yi was very happy.

Of course Van Dijk is also very happy.

Because Tong Yi spoke very highly of him, Tong Yi's original words were, "As long as you maintain a high fighting spirit and maintain your best condition, you will be the main central defender of Crystal Palace in the next ten years."

When he heard this, Van Dijk was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

Yang Sen was also very excited and very satisfied.

He could see that Tong Yi was not deceiving Van Dijk, but was really very optimistic about Van Dijk.

Tong Yi attaches great importance to Van Dijk.

This is why Jansen believes that moving to Crystal Palace is the best choice for Van Dijk.

Now Yang Sen is full of expectations for Van Dijk's future!

Tong Yi just said that Van Dijk's talent is no less than De Bruyne. De Bruyne is the best player in the Bundesliga. The best talent in German football at the moment is a top talent being chased by many giants such as Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League.

It is said that De Bruyne's net worth has now been raised to 40 million pounds.

Tong Yi compared Van Dijk to De Bruyne, which shows how much he values ​​Van Dijk.

Van Dijk has met his Bole!

Moreover, the salary offered by Tong Yi to Van Dijk is also very high, for a young player like him. There are only a few players in the English Championship with a weekly salary of more than 10,000 pounds. Tong Yi can give Van Dijk a weekly salary of 8,000 pounds, which already means he attaches great importance to Van Dijk.

When Yang Sen and Van Dijk left, their heads were a little confused and they felt a little unreal.

However, Van Dijk firmly remembered Tong Yi's words, "You must report to the Crystal Palace in half a month!"

Yes, in half a month, the Crystal Palace first team will officially assemble.

Van Dijk is going to enjoy his rare vacation, and he is also looking forward to the new season.

Looking at Van Dijk's back as he left, Vieri was still in shock.

Can this guy who looks a little mature really be comparable to De Bruyne? Can he really be the core of Crystal Palace's defense for the next ten years?

This was not because he doubted Tong Yi's judgment, but because he was too shocked.

However, just looking at the body, this guy is indeed very good.

Vieri turned to look at Tong Yi and asked, "Boss, is this guy really that powerful?"

Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Of course, have you ever seen a problem with me?"

Vieri thought about it, and then smiled innocently.

Tong Yi also smiled slightly and said nothing.

Suddenly, Vieri said, "Boss, where are we going next?"

After all, the Crystal Palace club still lacks a lot of personnel. It is obviously not enough to introduce Van Dijk.

of. Vieri believed that Tong Yi came out this time not just for Van Dijk.

Tong Yi said without thinking, "Go to Germany!"

Groningen is the northernmost city in the Netherlands. It borders Germany, and there is a direct road to Hamburg, Germany. It is very close to Germany. More importantly, Tong Yi is also very familiar with Germany. After all, he has stayed here for so many years and is very familiar with it.

More importantly, many new superstars have emerged in German football in recent years.

This time Tong Yi is going to Germany to pan for gold.

Vieri also nodded slightly, and he had no objection to this. On the contrary, he thought it was very reasonable. After all, Tong Yi had been coaching in Germany before, and the place he was most familiar with was German football. Naturally, he knew the talented new stars here best.

Vieri asked, "How many talents are you going to Germany to take away this time?"

Tong Yi raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Of course, the more, the better!"

However, Tong Yi knew very well that this trip to Germany would not go smoothly.

Because people in German football know him best.

Moreover, Tong Yi's image of top Bole is also more deeply rooted in German football. Now that Tong Yi wants to go back and poach young geniuses, will any young genius clubs obey? They definitely want to keep the talented young man Tong Yi is optimistic about firmly in their hands, and then train him to make a lot of money in a few years.

Therefore, Tong Yi actually did not have high expectations for this trip to Germany.

However, Vieri did not expect this. He was full of expectations for this trip to Germany.

He has also been in German football these days, and he knows very well that Germany's youth training has done a good job in the past few years. Now it should be the time to bear fruit. It seems that this time they should be able to take away many young talents.

After arriving in Germany, Tong Yi's first stop was the Ruhr area!

Because this time he came from Groningen, the Netherlands, and the first stop was close to here.

Seeing Tong Yi come to the Ruhr area, the first thing that came to Vieri's mind was the Ruhr area duo Dortmund and Schalke 04. Vieri feels that the talent Tong Yi likes must be among these two teams, or even Dortmund.

Because Dortmund has some similarities with their tactics.

What's more important is that Dortmund's head coach Klopp also prefers to use young players. When Tong Yi came here, he must have taken a liking to the players under his senior brother Klopp.

But Vieri thinks it will be difficult for Tong Yi to take players away from Klopp.

Dortmund is not short of money now, and more importantly, Crystal Palace obviously will not spend a lot of money to introduce stars in the new season, so this

A trip to the Ruhr area, Vieri is not very optimistic.

What I didn't know was that Tong Yi didn't go to Dortmund at all, or even Schalke.

Tong Yi actually took him to a class in Bochum!

This is something Vieri didn't expect!

Is there also a peerless talented player in Bochum? Why didn't he know?

Soon, Vieri learned the purpose of Tong Yi coming to Bochum. Tong Yi actually fell in love with a young man who had just been promoted to Bochum U19-Leon Goretzka!

This young man is only 17 years old now, very young!

And at this time, Goretzka and Bochum Football Club have not signed a professional contract. It would be relatively easy for Tong Yi to take him away because there is no contract binding him!

But this little guy Goretzka has a deep affection for Bochum. After all, he came to Bochum in 2001 and stayed here for more than ten years. When he saw Tong Yi, Goretzka was naturally very excited. Looking at Tong Yi, his little face was red and his head was a little congested.

He was actually chosen by top Bole Tong Yi!

He is very excited!

But he was also very conflicted. He didn't want to just leave Bochum, where he had been trained!

But Tong Yi values ​​​​Gretzka very much. This guy will be the midfield engine of the German national team and Bayern Munich in the future. He is a master midfielder who can attack and defend well and has a strong scoring ability.

Tong Yi needs such players very much.

And Tong Yihe knows very well that Goretzka is already showing off.

Last season he scored 6 goals in 7 games in the U17 competition, and then was promoted to the Bochum U19 team. And he also knew that in just over a month, Goretzka would be awarded the Fritz Walter Gold Medal for children under 17 in sign language.

This award is awarded specifically to young players by the German Football Association.

This award is divided into three age groups, U19, U18 and U17. Starting from 2005, it will be held once a year, with three awards: gold, silver and bronze. In his first year, Neuer was only awarded the U19 Fritz Walter Silver Medal. Among others who have won the gold medal are Gotze, Lars Bender and Toni Kroos, among others.

Being able to win this gold medal means that Goretzka is already the leader of his age group in Germany at this time. More importantly, Tong Yi knows very well that Goretzka will enter the Bochum first team this coming season and become the team's main force, helping Bochum avoid relegation in the Bundesliga 2.

So, now is the most critical moment for Goretzka.

Tong Yi expressed his importance to Goretzka and also said that he would focus on training him.

To be honest, Goretzka is still a little moved.

However, Goretzka still values ​​friendship.

, he didn’t want to leave Bochum just like that.

In this way, Tong Yi went directly to Bochum. After negotiating with the Bochum club, he was willing to pay 450,000 euros for Goretzka's youth training fee. This impressed the Bochum club.

The Bochum club is gone, and so is Goretzka.

Then, Tong Yi soon signed a professional contract with Goretzka, who was under the guardianship of his father Conrad, and Goretzka officially became a member of the Crystal Palace Club.

Goretzka's salary is much worse than Van Dijk's.

Tongyi offered Goretzka a weekly salary of 4,000 pounds, which is equivalent to an annual salary of about 210,000 pounds.

This annual salary has reached the average level of the English League One, but it is countless times higher than what he did in Bochum.

After signing Goretzka, Tong Yi asked Goretzka to report to Crystal Palace at the end of June.

After receiving a positive reply, Tong Yi and Vieri went directly south from Bochum to Hoffenheim.

What Tong Yi values ​​​​this time is Niklas Süle, the talented center back of the Hoffenheim youth team!

Sule played as a forward when he was young and was a scoring machine at that age. He once scored 100 goals in a season in the F-level youth team, and then was inserted into the E-level youth team, where he scored more than 70 goals. Later, because there was no central defender in the U15, the tall Süle was pulled to play central defender, and then he shined in this position.

Now he is the absolute main central defender in Hoffenheim U19.

In Tong Yi's memory, in the following season, Süle will jump into the reserve first team in multiple levels, and then make his debut in the Bundesliga in May next year. Next season he will become Hoffenheim's main center back and compete in the Bundesliga. Then he will enter the German national team and move to Bayern Munich to become Germany's top center back.

Tong Yi wanted to capture this genius.

He directly found Hoffenheim's boss Hope. After all, he had had many interactions with Hope before, and the relationship was still very good. Hope had invited him to coach at Hoffenheim many times. Tong Yi felt that because of these friendships, Hope would sell Süle to him.

But Hope said that he had nothing to do with these matters and just asked Tong Yi to contact the club's responsible person directly.

Then the agreement was rejected by the Hoffenheim club. At the same time, Sule did not want to leave Hoffenheim or Germany.

Therefore, Tong Yi hit a wall for the first time in Germany.

To be honest, Tong Yi still feels it is a pity that he did not sign Sule.

Jule is indeed very powerful, and the most important thing is that Tong Yi admires him very much. It's a pity that Jule himself doesn't want to!

Tong Yi could only sigh and left Hoffenheim with regret.

After leaving Hoffenheim, Tong Yi and Vieri continued south and came to Stuttgart.
