The outside world was making a lot of noise, but Tong Yi had no idea about it.
In recent days, he has been spending time with the little princess, Xiao Tongtong. Does he have the time to take care of these things?
He didn't even control the performance and situation of the Crystal Palace players during international matches. These matters were left to Schwartz and others. I hope these guys don't get injured during the international break. If they do, it will be really bad for Crystal Palace.
Tong Yi hopes that the FIFA virus will not poison Crystal Palace so quickly.
Because Tong Yi knows very well that it is impossible for the Crystal Palace not to be affected by the FIFA virus. There are too many national team players in their Crystal Palace team, and many of them are even the main players. It is not easy for these people to go to the national team. There will be no chance to rest, it is crazy competition.
If you don't let them rotate and don't give them a reasonable rest time, these guys will definitely be injured or even scrapped.
At this time, Tong Yi and the others were most concerned about Ibrahimovic's situation.
After all, at this time, Crystal Palace only has two centers, Ibrahimovic and Jimenez. If Ibrahimovic is injured again, Crystal Palace will be doomed. After all, it is unclear when Ignacio will be able to return from injury. If Jimenez is the only one, it will be dangerous.
Therefore, at this time, Ibrahimovic's situation must be kept under control. Of course, the situation of all Crystal Palace players requires attention and protection.
Therefore, rotation is necessary.
At this time, Schwartz collects the players' factory time, physical consumption, etc. Summarize this information to Tong Yi, and let Tong Yi make rotations based on these data and the players' physical condition.
Tong Yi is very relieved about Schwartz, Schwartz is forever a god!
As for the news that Arsenal wants to introduce Salah, it is simply false.
At least, Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace club did not receive an offer from Arsenal.
They just received an inquiry from Arsenal FC.
Tong Yi directly responded with a message of 120 million pounds, while Wenger directly pretended to be dead and never responded to the message again. Because they know very well that they cannot win Salah.
The Arsenal club has money, but that's not how they spend it.
Arsenal has already spent nearly 200 million pounds this summer. If they spend another 120 million pounds, will Arsenal spend 400 million pounds this season?
Get out of here, go to hell!
Only a devil is willing to spend this money.
At least Arsenal's top brass are unwilling.
At this time, media reporters finally found Salah in the Egyptian national team. Salah also accepted interviews with media reporters. He said: "I don't know where this news came from? I never had any intention of leaving Crystal Palace. If I really wanted to leave, I would have followed Sadio. They left, why did they wait until now? I will definitely stay at Crystal Palace this season, and my goal is to lead Crystal Palace to defend the Premier League title!"
Only then did the media reporters realize that they had made a mistake.
This guy Salah has no plans to leave at all!
No wonder Tong Yi never stood up to refute the rumors. He has confidence in his players!
However, at this time, many media reporters also reported that Chelsea and Manchester City had really made an offer to Crystal Palace, and they were preparing for a buzzer-beating signing.
Chelsea quoted Van Dijk for 68 million pounds; Manchester City quoted De Bruyne for 80 million pounds.
Tong Yi naturally saw these quotes.
He didn't reply at all and just threw it in the trash can.
There is nothing sincere about these offers.
More importantly, they have no intention of selling players. He directly announced that Crystal Palace's transfer door is closed this summer.
The media reporters then stopped.
Time is passing, and the major teams in European football are busy crazily, hoping to sign their favorite players before the transfer window closes.
Real Madrid is said to have a strong interest in De Gea again and is resuming negotiations with Manchester United, hoping to complete De Gea's transfer as soon as possible. Manchester United seems to be very interested in Real Madrid's Gareth Bale. It is said that Manchester United has quoted 58 million pounds to introduce the King of Wales. Liverpool seems to be discussing the transfer of Hummels with Bayern Munich, and it is said that it is very likely to happen...
Unfortunately, these transactions ultimately failed.
Their proposal came a little late.
This summer's transfer window is closed, none of their documents have been submitted, and some transactions have not even been negotiated, so naturally there is no way for these transfers to take place.
The summer window is closed and the international matchday has come to a full end.
After the players returned, Crystal Palace ushered in the fourth round of the Premier League this season. They will go to the away Riverside Stadium to face Middlesbrough, the newly promoted team of the Premier League in the cup season.
Middlesbrough finished second in the Championship last season and directly qualified for promotion to the Premier League.
They are 4 points behind champion Burnley and share 89 points with third-placed Brighton. They have a goal difference of 2 more, so they are ranked second.
To be honest, their strength is not that strong.
But it cannot be underestimated.
???????????????Middlesbrough also spent nearly 30 million pounds on signings this summer, which is not a small expense. And they also recruited a lot of Spanish veterans, who are also well-known players, such as Negredo, Valdez, Stuani and Barragan, etc.
Middlesbrough have brought in so many Spaniards mainly because their head coach Ettore Karanka de Lahos is Spanish. Moreover, he is also a famous player in Spanish football. He once played for Real Madrid and won the La Liga championship in 2000-2001, the UEFA Champions League in 1997-1998, 1999-2000, and 2001-2002, and the Spanish Super Cup in 1997 and 2001. and 1998 Toyota Cup champion.
After retiring, he served as the head coach of the Spanish U16 national team and the assistant coach of the U17 national team.
He even became an assistant coach at Real Madrid in 2010, assisting Mourinho and winning the 2011-2012 La Liga championship.
He is well-known and well-connected in Spain.
Therefore, it was very easy for him to get some well-known veterans from Spain.
In the winter of 2013, he was appointed to take over the coaching job at Middlesbrough. He led the team out of the relegation zone that season and eventually finished 12th in the league to complete the task of relegation to the British Championship. Then he began to frantically introduce Spanish players. Last season, he led the team to fourth place in the British Championship and qualified for the promotion play-offs. Unfortunately, they lost to Norwich 0-2 at the last moment and missed the promotion.
Last season, he led the team to second place, finally completed the upgrade and led the team to the Premier League.
It can be said that Drahos has really become a steady businessman step by step when he came to Middlesbrough. No wonder Middlesbrough's top management trusts him so much.
This summer, we have recruited so many famous Spanish players. Although they are older, they still have strength and reputation. Therefore, Middlesbrough's senior management is still very confident in the team's relegation.
They believe Drahos!
Therefore, this team is actually not particularly easy to deal with.
However, Tong Yi is very confident.
However, Middlesbrough's performance in the Premier League is still very good. In the first three rounds, newly promoted Middlesbrough had one win and two draws to remain unbeaten.
So far, Middlesbrough's top brass are very satisfied.
Middlesbrough fans are also very satisfied. They believe that Drahos can lead the team to higher fields.
Although Middlesbrough is undefeated in three rounds, Tong Yi's investigation has made it clear that Middlesbrough has not faced a strong team in these three games, so this doesn't mean much.
In the first three rounds, they only scored 3 goals and conceded 2 goals. It was a bit of luck to remain unbeaten.
It was really the Spaniard brought in by Drahos who scored the goals for Middlesbrough. Negredo scored 1 goal and Stuani scored 2 goals.
Therefore, Middlesbrough still has the ability to attack.
Tong Yi will definitely not underestimate the opponent. In terms of defense, Tong Yi will definitely require the players to go all out.
However, in this game, Tong Yi will still rotate.
First of all, these main players of Crystal Palace played with their respective national teams during the international matches. Many of them were even main players and played in all the games. Coupled with the fatigue of traveling and traveling, they must be very tired.
Secondly, Crystal Palace will have a doubleheader next week.
In the middle of next week, the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League group stage matches will officially start, so Tong Yi must take turns to prepare for the UEFA Champions League in the middle of next week.
The Champions League is also very important for Crystal Palace.
Although the opponents in this group of Crystal Palace are not very strong, they should not threaten Crystal Palace. But if you underestimate your opponent in Crystal Palace and don't pay attention at all, it is very likely that the boat will capsize.
Therefore, when the Champions League group stage has just begun, Crystal Palace will still go all out.
Only after qualifying is guaranteed, Crystal Palace will make corresponding adjustments and then focus all its attention on the league.
Therefore, the Crystal Palace side should play with all its main players in the UEFA Champions League midweek next week.
Therefore, Tong Yi will definitely be rotated in this round of competition.
At the pre-match press conference, Tong Yi stated: "On this international match day, our Crystal Palace players are really too tired. Moreover, some players are getting older and cannot bear such a dense game. Due to the schedule, there will definitely be a lot of players to rotate in this round of games. Of course, even if we rotate, we at Crystal Palace are confident that we can get three points."
Three-pointers are really very important for Crystal Palace, especially when facing a newly promoted team like Middlesbrough, it is even more important to ensure that they get three points.
In this game, even though Crystal Palace has rotated its players, it still has to go all out.
However, this was an opportunity for Middlesbrough fans to see.
Your Crystal Palace has been rotated, and its strength must have been greatly reduced. Then we Middlesbrough will have a chance to win. After all, everyone knows that your Crystal Palace bench is not good this season.
Crystal Palace, you are screwed!
Middlesbrough's head coach Drahos also accepted an interview before the game. He said: "This game is indeed an opportunity for us Middlesbrough. We will definitely play with our full strength. Don't worry, in our At home, we will definitely be able to defeat Crystal Palace, as long as Crystal Palace really rotates!"
Yes, Drahos is really afraid that Crystal Palace will not rotate.
It was under such circumstances that the fourth round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season between Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace began. It was played today at Middlesbrough's home stadium, the Riverside Stadium. The weather was a bit not good, and it was drizzling all the time. , I hope both teams will not be affected by this bad weather.
