Legendary Godfather

Tong Yi was sitting in the hotel where he was staying in Sao Paulo, Brazil, looking at the list that Schwartz had compiled for him.

Looking at the names on the list, Tong Yi smiled knowingly.

Schwartz certainly did not disappoint me.

Among the names on his list are Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Icardi, Lewandowski, Benteke, Suarez and Balotelli.

It can be said that this list almost includes all the best centers nowadays.

And, he also put a star on this list.

Five stars means it is extremely difficult to introduce, and the lower the star, the easier it is to introduce.

Among them, Lewandowski is the only five-star player in this list, Cavani is four and a half stars, Ibrahimovic and Icardi are four stars, and Balotelli and Suarez are two stars. star, and Benteke is one star.

In Schwartz's view, Crystal Palace can introduce Benteke with just a hook.

Benteke currently plays for Aston Villa in the Premier League. His performance in the Premier League is very good. In fact, many Premier League teams are staring at this guy.

However, this guy's advantages and disadvantages are also very obvious.

The advantage is that he is tall and strong, has strong impact and has good heading ability.

The shortcomings are that his feet are quick and rough, and his shooting skills are not very good. More importantly, he has a bit of a glass man's special ability. He has only been in the Premier League from Belgium for two seasons. His performance is very good, but he has also been injured twice. Although it was not a serious injury, he had to practice for 6 weeks last season.

What's more important is that he is originally a member of the Belgian national team in this World Cup, and will compete with Lukaku for the starting center position. Unexpectedly, during an ordinary training before the World Cup, he was injured shooting and missed the World Cup. He is still recovering from his injury.

This also discourages the clubs that have been staring at him!

It is said that before the World Cup, Chelsea's head coach Mourinho originally planned to bring in Benteke to replace Luka who left. Unexpectedly, Benteke was suddenly injured, so Mourinho gave up this plan and turned around. Attack on Costa.

However, Tong Yi saw from the information collected by Schwartz that Benteke's listing is not very serious and will not affect the physical reserve training before the season.

However, because of this guy's injury, Crystal Palace will hardly encounter any competition.

Moreover, Aston Villa should also be anxious to send Benteke away, and they also have Benteke in their hands.

Therefore, it should be very easy for Crystal Palace to introduce Benteke at this time.

Now it depends on whether Tong Yi wants Benteke to take over the position left after Lukaku left.

Although Benteke has only been in the Premier League for two seasons, his performance has been very good, and it can even be said that he has adapted perfectly to the Premier League. In the 2012-2013 season, Benteke played 34 times and scored 19 goals. Last season, he played 26 times and scored 10 goals.

The ball, the efficiency is really good.

Seeing this, Tong Yi also nodded slightly.

Benteke is actually a very practical center with good impact and scoring ability. However, his shooting skills and psychological quality are actually not very good. In Tong Yi's memory, Benteke's most glorious seasons were at Aston Villa. However, whether he later went to Liverpool or Crystal Palace, he failed to meet expectations. Although he performed well for two seasons in the Crystal Palace later on, the ups and downs were too uncertain, and the attributes of the glass man caused him to be injured many times, which affected his growth and performance.

However, for now, Tong Yi still needs a center like Benteke.

However, this guy sometimes plays lazily and doesn't move much in the frontcourt.

This cannot satisfy Tong Yi.

In Tong Yi's tactics, the center is the first line of defense. Even the running distance of the center must be equal to or beyond the midfielder.

If Benteke is introduced, Benteke must make changes in this regard!

However, Tong Yi actually doesn’t particularly want to bring in Benteke, because he feels that there is not much difference between Benteke and Ignacio who grew up. To some extent, he is even more optimistic about Ignacio. .

So, Benteke, wait and see!

Then, Suarez and Balotelli!

These two people also scare Tong Yi away!

Needless to say about Balotelli, this guy has a perverse personality, is very difficult to understand, and is very difficult to communicate.

Even though he has a very good relationship with him and Mancini, who values ​​him very much, it is very difficult to communicate with him. Tong Yi doesn't think he can communicate well with Balotelli or have any good cooperation.

However, Balotelli performed very well when he returned to Italy from the Premier League. He has now become a sharp knife on AC Milan's front line. He joined 13 games and scored 12 goals in the middle of last season. This season, he is in the league. He scored 14 goals in 30 appearances, gradually making people feel that Balotelli is normal again.

It is said that after this meeting Balotelli also wanted to leave Italy and return to England.

Moreover, Liverpool are also very interested in him.

If Balotelli wants to leave, AC Milan will naturally not be able to keep him.

And Balotelli also has the idea of ​​​​returning to England.

Therefore, it is not very difficult for Crystal Palace to introduce Balotelli.

However, Tong Yi is not very optimistic about Balotelli.

The main reason is that this guy is too difficult to communicate with. After being introduced, he will definitely be a time bomb for the team, which will affect the ball.

The team's performance in the coming season.

Therefore, Tong Yi directly drew a cross on Balotelli's name.

Not Balotelli!

Then, Tong Yi also drew a cross after Suarez's name.

It is no longer news that Suarez wants to leave Liverpool, and it is not difficult to bring him in. As long as you can afford it and give Suarez hope of winning the championship, you can bring him in.

In terms of hopes of winning the championship, Crystal Palace can satisfy Suarez.

But in terms of money, Crystal Palace is not satisfied.

As for the current Suarez, if you don't have more than 60 million pounds, it is almost impossible for you to take him away from Liverpool.

If Tong Yi remembers correctly, this summer, Barcelona spent 65 million pounds to bring Suarez down to the Nou Camp.

So, this has nothing to do with Crystal Palace!

Crystal Palace can't afford that kind of money!

Therefore, Suarez gave up.

Then there's Icardi!

To be honest, Tong Yi is still very optimistic about Icardi. He even wanted to introduce Icardi before when he was in Munich 1860. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the trip did not take place.

And Tong Yi already thinks that Icardi is very suitable for his tactics.

However, it is very difficult to introduce Icardi.

Because Icardi only moved to Inter Milan last year, he is highly valued in Inter Milan. Although he only scored 9 goals for Inter Milan last season, Inter Milan still believes in him and will still reuse him in the new season.

And Tong Yi knows very well that Icardi will explode next season. He will score 27 goals in 48 appearances for Inter Milan and become a Serie A recruit with 22 goals.

If Icardi is introduced at this time, it will definitely be a good thing for Crystal Palace.

However, this is very difficult, because Inter Milan will not sell Icardi, and Icardi and his girlfriend Wanda are not willing to leave Milan, the fashion capital, at least now they are Don't want to leave.

Therefore, it is very difficult and almost impossible to introduce Icardi!

However, Tong Yi didn't just give up. He drew a circle behind Icardi's name and planned to let Vieri and the others contact Inter Milan and Icardi to see what they thought.

What if there is a drama?

Then there's Ibrahimovic!

To be honest, this is also a perverse and domineering person, and he seems to be the kind of person who is not easy to get along with.

However, Tong Yi still admires Ibrahimovic very much.

if possible

If so, he naturally hopes to introduce Ibrahimovic.

After all, he knows very well that although Ibrahimovic is old, he can still maintain this excellent state for seven or eight years. After all, at the age of 35, he was still able to score 20 goals in the Premier League, even if he went to the United States at the end of his career. Guohe AC Milan is also very strong, and is even called Poverty Alleviation Manchester United and Poverty Alleviation Milan by later generations of fans.

At the age of 39, he was still able to score 10 goals in 18 appearances for AC Milan in Serie A in a single season, which is really sharp.

If such a forward can come to Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace will definitely make money.

But it is obvious that Paris Saint-Germain will not sell Ibrahimovic at this time. After all, Ibrahimovic played 33 times for them last season and scored 26 goals.

And Tong Yi also knows that in the next two seasons, Ibrahimovic will score 19 and 38 goals for Paris Saint-Germain.

How could Paris Saint-Germain sell such a striker?

After all, the oil tycoon behind them is not short of money at all.

So Tong Yi also drew a cross after Ibrahimovic's name.

Next is Cavani. He is a striker that Paris Saint-Germain spent 64.5 million euros to introduce last year. How could they sell it so casually?

Therefore, the purchase difficulty directly reaches four and a half stars!

Tong Yi barely needed to read it in detail before he drew a cross behind Cavani's name.

The last Lewandowski is even more impossible!

He had signed with Bayern Munich in January this year, and he reported directly to Bayern Munich as soon as July 1st. Tong Yi and the others have no chance of bringing in this Polish footballer!

pity!

In fact, Tong Yi still admires Lewandowski very much. He already wanted to introduce him when he was in Munich 1860. Unfortunately, they had no fate and never worked together!

Tong Yi also drew a cross after this name!

Therefore, with such a long list, there are really not many people that Tong Yi can introduce!

However, he is still very satisfied with Schwartz's work. These forwards are all outstanding. To be honest, many of them, Tong Yi, are also very greedy. But there is no way, no fate!

It’s a pity that we can’t bring in these people!

It seemed that he had to compile a list himself.

Of course, he actually knows it in his heart, and he will soon decide on the candidate for the center.

But at this time, an accident happened, and some players wanted to leave Crystal Palace!

Yes, at this time, Tong Yi received a call from Campbell. He claimed that a player at Crystal Palace had submitted a transfer application to the club and was preparing to leave the team.
