Tong Yi also said that De Bruyne learned about Courtois’ situation and asked De Bruyne to find out.
Here, Tong Yi answered Nagelsmann's call again and informed him to go to Belgium.
To be honest, Nagelsmann was also shocked.
Does Belgium have so many good players?
Nagelsmann still went to Belgium. His main task was Witsel. Then he took a look at Courtois and signed him directly if he could sign him back.
However, Tong Yi said that signing Courtois should be quite difficult.
Courtois has become the team's main force since the beginning of the new season, although this was affected by the departure of the two goalkeepers. But the team's willingness to believe in the young Courtois and let him become the main force shows that the whole team
I am still very optimistic about him and attach great importance to him.
Moreover, Courtois himself knows that since the team has lost two goalkeepers, his opportunity will come in the new season. It is very likely that he will play the main or second goalkeeper position. How can he leave!
Therefore, signing Courtois should be quite difficult.
After all, Tong Yi cannot guarantee Courtois' starting position.
Of course, Tong Yi also asked Nagelsmann to tease Mignolet. If he succeeds, it will be an unexpected surprise. If he fails, forget it.
Nagelsmann said directly, "Okay, don't worry, I will take care of it."
Then, Nagelsmann went to Belgium.
Naturally, Tong Yi stayed in South Africa and continued to watch this World Cup.
In fact, Tong Yi is waiting to sign a contract with Otamendi.
During this period, the defending champion Paraguay was tied with the Coppa Italia and Spain lost to Switzerland, which caused a huge sensation.
Especially Spain's loss to Switzerland was a huge upset.
At this time, there are naturally a lot of media laughing at Tong Yi. Isn't Tong Yi optimistic about the Spanish national team winning the championship? They can't even beat Switzerland, how can they win the championship? With the performance of the Spanish national team, reaching the top eight is a luxury.
.
Yes, many people are looking down on Spain at this time.
There are even many people saying that the Spanish national team's approach is outdated and no longer works.
France's famous Lizarazu stood up and said, "Now everyone knows that the Chinese guy is talking nonsense, right? Does a team like Spain deserve to win the championship? Just look at it, the one who can reach the semi-finals is
Our French team, our French team will win the championship this time!”
The French are really confident in their team.
And England's famous legend Dalglish also stood up and said, "As of now, the predictions of the Chinese soft rice man are not accurate at all. So far, I really can't see anything worthy of praise in Spain and Uruguay.
Can these two teams actually advance to the Final Four? If so, here's what's all involved What a disgrace to the World Cup teams! They don’t deserve it! We in England deserve it, we in England are like emperors, we will win!”
Well, the English think so too.
There is also a famous player on the German side who said, "The Spanish national team did perform a little abnormally, but I still believe in their strength. They should be able to adjust themselves in the following games. There is no team that is too strong in this group.
, it is still very possible for them to qualify with two wins. As for Uruguay, I really don’t see what strength they have that is worthy of being praised by a soft-hearted man. If he is allowed to win, he doesn’t even know it!"
At this time, those who criticized and humiliated Tong Yi more were naturally the fans.
They all think Tong Yi is a joke.
Uruguay has not advanced to the knockout rounds of the World Cup in 40 years. What ability do they have to advance to the semi-finals of the World Cup? Are you kidding me?
Of course, at this time, there were many media reporters who wanted to interview Tong Yi.
Countless media reporters were looking for Tong Yi in South Africa, but obviously they couldn't find him despite their incompetence.
However, Chinese reporters Song Guotao and Ji Shengcheng, as well as China National Television's Duan Jianhong, found Tong Yi. Because they already knew the hotel where Tong Yi was staying, they came over.
Duan Jianhong asked, "Director Tong, after the first round of the South Africa World Cup group stage, has your opinion changed?"
Song Guotao and Ji Shengcheng both stared at Tong Yi closely. Song Guotao arranged his notebook and pen, preparing to record, while Ji Shengcheng took out his computer and voice recorder, ready to start.
Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "My opinion remains unchanged. Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Uruguay can reach the semi-finals of this World Cup. Spain will defeat the Netherlands and win the championship, while Germany will defeat Uruguay and win the third place."
Three.”
Although Song Guotao was very shocked, he still recorded it seriously.
To be honest, Duan Jianhong and the three of them don't know why Tong Yi is so optimistic about Uruguay and Spain. Forget about Spain, after all, they were the champions of the last European Cup. And what about Uruguay? What do they have? Uruguay has been for 40 consecutive years.
I have never reached the knockout round of the World Cup.
Director Tong, what happened to you?
Song Guotao immediately asked, "Coach Tong, why are you so optimistic about the Uruguay team?"
Tong Yi bluntly said, "Uruguay's strength is generally underestimated. They have the potential to become a dark horse. On the front line, Aguero, Cavani and Forlan are very strong. This is definitely the best in this world."
Ranked among the top five forward combinations, they do not lack the ability to score goals. And Uruguay
We have Godin and Demichelis on the back line, both of them are wealthy central defenders, and their defensive strength is not bad."
Song Guotao writes very quickly, but his handwriting is very beautiful. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he always insists on recording interviews with a pen.
Duan Jianhong and the other two looked at each other. It seemed that Tong Yi was really optimistic about Uruguay.
Tong Yi continued, "And Uruguay's goalkeeper Muslera is also very good. Although he is a little irritable and unstable, it cannot hide that he is an excellent goalkeeper. More importantly, this guy has a big heart.
Especially in this kind of competition, he will perform even better. Moreover, I can tell you that Muslera's ability to save penalty kicks is very strong. This may be the key for the Uruguayans to advance to the semi-finals!"
Duan Jianhong and others thought that Tong Yi was a bit neurotic. He actually predicted that Uruguay's advancement to the semi-finals would depend on the goalkeeper to save penalty kicks? This is too ridiculous!
It's not that they don't want to believe Tong Yi, but it's just too ridiculous.
Duan Jianhong and the other three looked at each other, and then Duan Jianhong reminded Tong Yi, "Director Tong, it's not okay to send out this report like this, right?"
In his heart, Tong Yi thought more highly of these three people, who were a little worried about him, rather than the kind of person who would go to any lengths for sales and sensation.
Tong Yi thinks it’s good.
He nodded directly and said, "Just send it like this, it'll be fine! I trust my own judgment!"
Seeing Tong Yi insisting on his own, the three of them had no choice but to nod, indicating that they understood.
Ji Shengcheng continued to ask, "Does Director Tong really not change your views and opinions?"
Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Is this my only prediction for the semi-finals of this World Cup? I am optimistic about them, and I also believe in myself."
The three people sighed again.
Tong Yi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Well, let me say a little more. In my opinion, Italy and France, the champions and runners-up of the last World Cup, will be eliminated at the bottom of the group. They will not advance to the top 16."
!”
Duan Jianhong and the others' pupils were dilated, their hearts were shaken, their mouths were wide open, and they looked at Tong Yi infatuatedly.
They were all stunned by Tong Yi's bold words.
impossible?
Italy and France were the champions and runners-up last year. No matter how bad they were, they couldn't possibly fail to qualify in the group, let alone be at the bottom of the group, right?
Duan Jianhong's hand holding the microphone trembled a little, and he said, "This..."
Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, this is my truest opinion. You don't have to cover up for me, just say it like it is. I believe in my own judgment!"
Can you believe it, he remembers it clearly in his own memory.
This World Cup is really a match between the defending champion Italy and the previous one. What a shame for the runner-up French team!
Duan Jianhong and the other three people confirmed again and again and learned that Tong Yi was serious, so they sent out the explosive remarks. This immediately caused an uproar!
Media around the world reprinted the news from "Sports Weekly" and Sina Sports. Fans all over the world saw Tong Yi's appalling remarks. Suddenly Tong Yi became the target of national attack, and countless people ridiculed Tong Yi.
He is a villain who seeks favors and favors.
Of course, there were also many celebrities who came out and criticized Tong Yi crazily.
Especially the famous players in Italy and France. The famous players from these two countries have scolded Tong Yi to death. In fact, the famous players from these two countries have even called on the Serie A and Ligue 1 teams to boycott Tong Yi and ban Tong Yi from entering Italy.
Football and French football even called on Serie A and Ligue 1 teams not to make deals with Tong Yi and not to sell players to Tong Yi...
They feel they have been insulted!
Italy and France were the champions and runners-up in the last World Cup. How could we not make it out of the group? How could we be at the bottom of the group?
This Tong Yi is crazy!
And this guy Tong Yi actually said that Uruguay's defense line is a wealthy one, and that Uruguay's forward combination is one of the top five combinations in the World Cup. This is too nonsense. What's even more ironic is that this guy Tong Yi thinks
Muslera is a goalkeeper who saves penalty kicks. It was Muslera who saved Uruguay's penalty kicks and sent them to the semi-finals?
Funny, Tong Yi, a soft-boiled guy, is really funny.
Now the celebrities and media in Italy and France have figured out that this guy Tong Yi really can't do anything but rely on women!
In their eyes, Tong Yi is a madman.
Yes, at this time, almost no one believed in Tong Yi. They felt that Tong Yi was a complete fool and a swindler.
Even the famous celebrities in Germany were a little skeptical.
Is it really Tong Yi who was able to achieve such amazing results in Munich 1860? Is there someone else?
Even at this time, Klinsmann, who once supported Tong Yi crazily, thought Tong Yi's prediction was a bit outrageous. He suspected that Tong Yi must have drank fake wine when answering these questions. The champion and runner-up of the last World Cup
How could it be possible to be eliminated at the bottom of the group? How could Uruguay advance to the semi-finals by relying on the goalkeeper to save penalty kicks?
These are all too absurd and unrealistic.
Now everyone sees Tong Yi as a joke, but Tong Yi doesn't care.
When this World Cup is over, these guys will know how stupid they are now!
Tong Yi no longer shuts up these matters. He is going to deal with the transfer. The team will gather around early July, and there is not much time left for him now. He must get busy as soon as possible.
