July 2, 2013, Croydon, England, press conference hall at Beckenham training base.
Webster and Adriana looked at the group of people on the stage with no surprise.
Although this is only Tong Yi's second season in England, they are already very familiar with Tong Yi's style of doing things. Tong Yi has always done this since he started in Munich 1860. At the beginning of the transfer period, they basically completed the signings for the new season, and then brought these new players to attend the new signing ceremony and press conference collectively.
Look, it's the same now.
Crystal Palace’s new signings for the new season have all appeared on the main page. On the stage, Tong Yi sat on the side, while the newly joined players sat in the middle. Webster and Adriana counted carefully. There were 10 signings from Crystal Palace this time.
This includes Salah, who has returned from loan.
Looking at the people on the stage, some are familiar to them and some are unfamiliar to them.
They even saw their old acquaintance Ricardo Carvalho in the group, and they were shocked!
Webster and Adriana looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes!
Crystal Palace actually introduced the 35-year-old veteran Carvalho!
What is Tong Yi doing?
Isn't this guy Tong Yi famous for cultivating young players? Why are we bringing in Carvalho now?
Although there were some veterans among Tong Yi's previous signings, there are still few like Carvalho.
Carvalho is 35 years old!
Can he still play?
Real Madrid has already given up on him, why would you, Crystal Palace, bring him in?
Will your Crystal Palace be the retirement base for these veterans?
Or are you saying that Crystal Palace is planning to sell some of the young people who have just emerged?
Anyway, at this time, these media reporters are very interested in Carvalho. They want to find out why Tong Yi wants to introduce Carvalho?
Is it to make him become a coach like Campbell?
Of course, Webster also looked at the other players and saw that they were all young players.
The oldest among them is Paulinho, who was born in 1988. He is only 25 years old this year. Then there are all those born in the 1990s. Marcos Alonso, who was born in December 1990, is only 22 years old. Salah is 21 years old in 1992, and Serge Aurier, who was born in December 1992, is only 20 years old. , Nico Schultz was only 20 years old in 1993, Lukaku was only 20 years old in 1993, and then Kimmich and Milinkovic were only 18 years old in 1995. The youngest was Sane. , born in January 1996, he is now only 17 years old, not yet a minor.
Looking at these people, Webster and Adriana were both very shocked.
This guy Tong Yi is really obsessed with young players.
There were a lot of young people in his lineup last season, such as Zaha, Van Dijk, Laporte, Robertson, Mane, Kanter, etc. Among them, Robertson and Laporte were both born in 1994. This year Only 19 years old. Among them, Van Dijk, the main player, is only 22 years old, Mane is 21 years old, and Zaha is 20 years old.
It is this group of young people who actually won the English Championship and the English League Cup. It is really amazing.
Looking back at what Tong Yi once did in Munich 1860, who among you still dares to doubt Tong Yi's title as the top Bole? Only the idiot Harris would doubt it!
Looking at the group of young people on the stage, Webster was very shocked. He wanted to see which players in this group could stand out? Become a mainstay in world football? Or is it that everyone here is very powerful? Will he be the mainstay of world football in the future?
At this time, the joining ceremony for the new players has begun.
The players on the stage are all under contract
Signing their names means that they are members of Crystal Palace from now on. Then, everyone pulled their jerseys and took photos in front of the media reporters.
This series of ceremonies is finally over, and the media reporters are a little impatient to wait.
As soon as he indicated that he could ask questions, Webster in the audience raised his right hand and wanted to ask questions.
Press officer Rodrios glanced at Tong Yi, who nodded slightly, and then he nodded to Webster seemingly casually, giving Webster the first opportunity to ask questions.
Reporters from other media outlets at the scene rolled their eyes and were speechless.
Can your darkroom operation be made darker?
Could you please be a little more attentive?
Do you think we are air?
Reporters from other media outlets were very unhappy, but they didn't make much fuss.
Webster stood up, glanced at Carvalho, and then looked at Tong Yi and asked: "Excuse me, Coach David, for what purpose did you first introduce Carvalho next to you? He is already a He is a 35-year-old veteran. Do you think his physical condition can still adapt to the high-level rhythm and confrontation of the Premier League?"
The other media reporters became serious and looked at Tong Yi seriously.
This question is also what they want to ask, and it is a very high-level question.
Tong Yi looked at Webster and raised his eyebrows. He knew someone would doubt Carvalho, but he didn't expect it would be Webster. Webster, who can be said to be the most loyal cornerstone of the pro-Tong faction, actually expressed doubts. It seems that the impact of their introduction of a 35-year-old veteran is still very big, and everyone said they don't understand.
There must be many people questioning our Carvalho, right?
To be honest, Carvalho was also very curious. He turned to look at Tong Yi.
Tong Yi said calmly: "For what reason? Of course, our Crystal Palace currently lacks a central defender like Ricardo. And although he is 35 years old, his physical fitness has not declined significantly. I think He has no problem adapting to the pace and intensity of the Premier League. I think he can play in the Premier League for another three to five years, so the contract I gave him is a three-year contract!"
hiss!
The media reporters all think this guy Tong Yi is crazy!
He actually gave a 35-year-old veteran a 3-year contract? Do you think Carvalho can play in the Premier League until he is 38? Are you looking down on other players in the Premier League, or are you looking down on the intensity of the Premier League?
Can a 38-year-old guy continue to play in the Premier League?
joke!
Even someone as physically strong as Campbell cannot play in the Premier League until he is 38 years old.
So these people looked down on Carvalho and thought Tong Yi was crazy.
Looking at the media reporters who were talking excitedly about Ultramarine, Tong Yi had no expression on his face. He had really seen this kind of situation many times, and it was not surprising at all. He was very calm.
After waiting for the reporters to calm down for a while, he said: "Do you know what I saw from you?"
All the media reporters were shocked and shook their heads in confusion.
Tong Yi chuckled and said: "I saw how many German reporters opposed and ridiculed me and Klose when I tried to bring in Klose against all odds and threatened that Klose could score at least 15 goals in a single season. . Your reaction now is exactly the same as theirs at the beginning!"
The media reporters were once again stunned!
Some guys were even dumbfounded.
Webster also stared at Tong Yi with his eyes widened, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Do you think the 35-year-old Carvalho can be compared with Klose back then?
Why does Carvalho have him?
Seeing the reactions of these players, Tong Yi curled his lips slightly, and then said directly: "As you said to each other, in my heart, Ricardo now is the same as Klose back then! I'm not afraid to tell you.
, Ricardo is a very important member of our Crystal Palace in the new season. He will never play less than 20 games this season! He is an integral part of our Crystal Palace! "
hiss!
Not to mention the reporters at the scene were shocked, even Carvalho himself was shocked.
He didn't expect that Tong Yi was so optimistic about him!
Do you really have so many opportunities in the new season?
Carvalho believes in himself very much. Hearing Tong Yi's words, he felt hot inside and full of expectations for the new season.
He wants to show these guys who look down on him how powerful he is!
35 years old, is it very old?
Not old!
At the age of 35, is he no longer able to play in the Premier League?
Who farted?
Carvalho clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind to perform well in the new season to make these short-sighted and inexperienced guys realize how bad they are.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The other Crystal Palace new players were very surprised and looked at Tong Yi and then at Carvalho.
They were also a little unbelievable.
Of course they know that Carvalho is the world's top central defender, but that was when Carvalho was young. Now that he is old and on the verge of retirement, how can he possibly play the main role in Crystal Palace?
They were all shocked by Tong Yi's judgment.
Many media reporters at the scene couldn't help laughing, and their voices were very loud. Some reporters even shook their heads and mocked him. They all thought that this guy Tong Yi was really crazy.
Tong Yi didn't bother with these guys.
Because it is useless to say more now.
Everything must be told with facts.
Tong Yi believes in Carvalho. In the new season, he will use his amazing performance to slap these guys in the face hard and make their faces swollen.
Tong Yi will not answer any questions about Carvalho. He simply stared with disdain at the reporters who asked questions about Carvalho, his face full of sarcasm.
When Adriana saw this, she immediately stood up and asked: "David, you have introduced this group of young people, what is the goal of Crystal Palace in the new season?"
The other reporters pouted, "Do you even need to ask?"
As far as Crystal Palace's lineup is concerned, they are thankful to be able to avoid relegation in the Premier League this season. Their goal must be to avoid relegation. Do you still want Crystal Palace to compete for the league title? Do you look down on other teams in the Premier League, or do you think too highly of Tong Yi?
This season, Crystal Palace will definitely be relegated!
Yes, most media reporters are not optimistic about Crystal Palace.
With the current lineup of Crystal Palace, they feel that Crystal Palace will definitely be relegated, and no one can save Crystal Palace.
Tong Yi took the expressions of these people into his eyes, and he chuckled and said: "Our Crystal Palace's goal this season must be beyond your expectations. Many people think that our Crystal Palace's goal is to avoid relegation. I think you are really laughing at the English." The League Cup champion. This season, as the newly promoted Crystal Palace, our goal is to qualify for the European competition and even qualify for the Champions League."
Phew!
Ha ha ha ha!
The media reporters at the scene really couldn't hold it back. They all laughed out loud, and the laughter got louder and louder, with no concealment of the ridicule in their laughter.
They all think that this guy Tong Yi is really whimsical.
With your Crystal Palace squad, do you still want to qualify for the European competition? Are you kidding, or are you looking down on other teams in our Premier League?
Arrogant!
This damn Chinese bastard is really too arrogant.
This further strengthens the views of these media reporters. With an arrogant and arrogant head coach like Tong Yi, Crystal Palace will definitely be relegated to the Championship in the new season.
Crystal Palace is finished!
