Legendary godfather of green grass

206: Tong Yi signed Real Madrid's central defender

Not long after Campbell left, after Crystal Palace sold Yedinak, Nagelsman and Pintus also returned.

Before returning, they made another trip to France.

They went to Toulouse and brought in Ivorian right-back Serge Aurier for 300 million euros.

A year and a half ago, when Aurier moved to Toulouse, it was only 150 million euros, and now it has doubled. Toulouse has made a lot of money.

Although Aurier, who is about to turn 21, does not have a French passport now, it is actually not difficult for him to obtain a French passport.

Aurier is from Côte d'Ivoire, but he came to France when he was a child, and he has stayed in France for more than ten years now, enough for him to apply for a French passport.

As for this matter, Nagelsmann handed it over to Toulouse.

Toulouse helped Aurier get a French passport, and the Crystal Palace will transfer the transfer fee.

Toulouse agreed without even thinking about it, because it was too easy to operate.

After Aurier got his French passport, he didn't have to worry about labor certification.

Seeing Aurier, Milinkovic and Schulz behind Nagelsmann and Pintus, Tong Yi was very satisfied.I am very satisfied with the signings of this season, and I am also very satisfied with the work of these two people.

Then Tong Yi handed over these players to Wagner, and asked Wagner and his medical team to conduct a collective physical examination. If there is no problem in the physical examination, these players will officially join Crystal Palace.

After the physical examination, Tong Yi is ready to officially introduce these players to the media and Crystal Palace fans.

At this time, the players of the first team of Crystal Palace also returned to London in twos and threes, because the assembly day before the new season of Crystal Palace is coming soon.

If they don't come back, they will be late!

Being late is a big deal.troublesome.

And at this time, almost all the new players introduced by Tong Yi have arrived, and they are all undergoing medical examinations.

Then, Tong Yi also asked the returning Crystal Palace players to do physical examinations. Tong Yi wanted to see if these guys had gone crazy this summer, and did they have a report on their weight?

So at this time, Wagner, Dephne, and Joanna were busy.

And while they were busy, Campbell also came back.

Campbell also brought one back with him.

A man whom many would not expect - Ricardo Carvalho!

Yes, Tong Yi's task for Campbell is to bring back the free Carvalho.

Don't look at this guy Carvalho is 35 years old, but this guy is still very capable and competitive.

In Tong Yi's memory, Carvalho moved to Monaco, a local team in France this summer, where Carvalho originally only got a one-year contract.But he was the main central defender who played in Monaco for three years abruptly, and did not leave Monaco until 2016.

And he also helped Monaco win the double runner-up in Ligue [-] and French Cup as the main force.

More importantly, he returned to the Portuguese national team in 2014 and became a regular main player for the Portuguese national team to hit the European Cup. He also followed the Portuguese national team to win the European Cup in 2016.In that European Cup, he was the team's main central defender in the group stage and started all three games.If it weren't for his age, physical fitness and injuries, he would have been the main force all the time.

Therefore, at this stage, although Carvalho is in an older grade, he still has strength.Even though Carvalho was not selected for Real Madrid's pre-season training squad at the beginning of last season, he was retained by Mourinho in the later period. He also played 16 times for Real Madrid last season, and 1 assists.

So Tong Yi is very optimistic about Carvalho.

Although Carvalho is now in an older grade, his speed is not as good as before, his turning speed can't keep up with before, and his physical confrontation is not very strong.But before that, he was not the kind of fast central defender, nor did he rely on his body for food. He was a rare player who was very smart and played with his brain.

He is a typical deep-back centre-back.

He has a perfect sense of position and defensive insight, and his positioning skills are top-notch, and he is very flexible and clever in using his body. He can always take advantage of the disadvantages in the confrontation and complete the defense, even in the face of the Premier League. Such a powerful center, he is not at the bottom of the peak.Moreover, he is very accurate in judging the landing point of the high-altitude ball and the path of the ball, and he can always take the first step and cleverly save the day.

Moreover, as a Portuguese player, his skills at his feet are also very delicate, and he is especially good at defending technical forwards. It is difficult for technical forwards to break through his defense.And his delicate foot skills also make his ball control ability very good. He can always quickly and accurately choose the best way to get the ball under high pressure. You can see him blindly kicking the ball.

This is a very good deep-back centre-back.

And he also has a very outstanding header ability, and his air defense ability makes it difficult for many Premier League Warcraft-level centers to take advantage.

The current Carvalho has rich experience and super willpower, which is exactly what the Crystal Palace lacks.

Therefore, Tong Yi asked Campbell to come forward and snatch this one back.

It's really a steal.

At this time, Monaco is also eyeing Carvalho.

Isn't Ranieri frantically restraining former Porto players?So is Carvalho!

Ranieri is also very optimistic about central defenders like Carvalho, and it can even be said that he relies heavily on them.

More importantly, Monaco is not short of money!

At this time, if the Crystal Palace were later, they might not be able to beat Monaco.

Tong Yi knew the future, so he made a time difference.

Let Monaco remember that when they contacted Carvalho before they came, their Crystal Palace made a move, cut the mess quickly, and directly took down the experienced and lagging central defender.

Even if this guy is unsuccessful in coming to Crystal Palace, his experience and teachings are very important to Crystal Palace's young central defenders Van Dijk and Laporte.Tong Yi hopes that these two can absorb some nutrients from Carvalho to make himself more comprehensive and powerful.

Moreover, Tong Yi believes that Carvalho can succeed in Crystal Palace.

Carvalho used to play in the Premier League. At the beginning, he transferred to Chelsea at a price of 3000 million euros, and performed very well in Chelsea. He is the top central defender in the Premier League and even the world.

Tong Yi is full of expectations for Carvalho.

Therefore, Tong Yi also gave Carvalho a two-plus-one contract, and the last year is a team option.

That is, in the last year, Crystal Palace has the right to choose whether to renew the contract.

Yes, Tong Yi gave Carvalho, a 35-year-old veteran, a nearly three-year contract, which surprised everyone in Crystal Palace, even Carvalho himself.None of them thought that Tong Yi would be so courageous, and would be so optimistic about Carvalho.

Even Campbell and Harman felt that Tong Yi was a little impulsive, and they all hoped that Tong Yi could sign once a year.

Even Carvalho himself suggested this.

However, Tong Yi said that he is very optimistic about Carvalho and believes in Carvalho.

Carvalho was still very moved, feeling that he was valued again.

You have to know that the Premier League giants Arsenal have a rule, that is, players over the age of 30 are not used to anyone. He knows that he will sign once a year and will not give a long-term contract.And now Tong Yi actually gave such a long contract to a 35-year-old comrade, which is really a bit shocking.

Feeling Tong Yi's sincerity, Carvalho also made concessions on the weekly salary. Instead of taking the team's maximum weekly salary of 3.5 pounds, he took a weekly salary of 2.5 pounds, 260 for two years. million pounds, that is, a two-year contract of more than 2 million euros.If the contract is renewed for the third year, the salary will remain unchanged, still at £310 a week.

To be honest, this contract is already very conscientious.

If Tong Yi remembers correctly, Carvalho joined Monaco freely, and his annual salary should be around 200 million euros.

So when he came to the Crystal Palace, Carvalho still suffered a bit.

However, Crystal Palace gave him a 2+1 contract instead of a one-year contract like Monaco.

And to be honest, after all, Crystal Palace is the Premier League, which can't be compared with the IFA.

Moreover, Carvalho himself did not expect that he would be able to return to the Premier League again at his grade.To be honest, he is still full of expectations for this trip to the Premier League.

And he himself doesn't think he is old, he can still fight again.

Even next year's World Cup and the European Cup three years later, he will be able to fight again.

Of course, Carvalho doesn't think so much now, he just wants to play well in Crystal Palace.

Wagner and others are still a little worried about Carvalho's body. After all, he is 35 years old, can he still cope with such a high-intensity game?Is there any hidden wound on his body?

Wagner and the others were worried.

However, Tong Yi is not worried at all!

After all, he was able to become the main rotation central defender of the European Cup champion in 2016, which explains everything.

However, Tong Yi still attached great importance to Wagner and the others' opinions.

Tong Yi asked Wagner and the others to take Carvalho for a physical examination.If he fails the physical examination, Tong Yi will also let Kavalu leave.

Wagner and the others immediately took Carvalho to the medical examination.

Tong Yi is still full of expectations, Kavalu's body should be fine.

Seeing that the physical examination was about the same, Tong Yi couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Leo, how is it? Ricardo's body doesn't have any problems, right?"

Wagner and Pintus looked at each other, and then Wagner said: "It's really hard to believe that Ricardo can maintain his body so well in this grade, it's really amazing! After our professional test, we Gan is sure that there is nothing wrong with Ricciardo's body and that he has no problem adapting to the intensity of the Premier League. It's really hard to imagine!"

Pintus also nodded slightly, and then said: "As for physical fitness, there won't be too many problems. We are training camp before the season. If he doesn't get injured this season, he should play [-] or [-] games. There should be no problem."

Hearing these words, Tong Yi smiled slightly, very satisfied.

By this time, the signings for the new season are basically about the same.

Tong Yi is going to officially introduce these new players to the fans and media, and then they will start the closed training camp before the new season.
