Early June 2012, Beckenham training base in Croydon, south London, England.
Press conference hall!
The hall was crowded and noisy.
Reporters from all the major sports media in England were crowded in this small press conference hall. They were talking to each other in extreme shock, their voices rising and falling one after another.
Sports reporters from other European countries and regions also came to the scene, and even sports reporters from Asia also appeared here.
Beckenham's training ground has never been so lively.
The press conference hall was packed with people.
These media reporters were waiting anxiously, looking at the door of the press conference hall from time to time.
Why aren't you here yet? .???.??
"Oakes, are you telling the truth? Is he really going to coach here?" asked a bald black reporter wearing a white shirt and gray suit?
"Of course it's true. I saw him at the London airport a few days ago. It really surprised me! Ben, didn't your "Sun" get the news? It shouldn't be, your "Sun"
"The news should be very well-informed!" A Caucasian reporter with a beard and glasses named Oaks immediately replied.
Obviously, the bald black man is Sun reporter Ben Webster.
The white bearded man is Oakes Harris, a reporter for The Times.
Webster immediately said, "Of course our newspaper has got the news, but... it's still unbelievable!"
At this time, a group of people walked into the press conference hall. The first person to walk in was Steve Parish, the former majority owner and chairman of Crystal Palace Football Club, and behind Parish was a
A young blonde with big waves wearing a dark black business suit.
Madam, the person behind this lady is today’s protagonist.
All reporters' eyes were focused on the tall, strong and handsome Chinese man with a samurai wolf tail bun behind the lady.
Countless spotlights flashed together in an instant.
The media reporters at the scene recorded this figure.
coming!
He's really here!
The best young coach in football today, Chinese Tong Yi, is really here!
The media reporters at the scene were all very surprised and extremely shocked! Until this time, they still had not reacted!
Shouldn't you, Tong Yi, be in Manchester?
How did you end up in south London?
The minds of media reporters are full of questions. What exactly led Tong Yi to give up the Red Devils Manchester United and come to the British Championship team Crystal Palace?
Is Tong Yi really going to give up the Premier League giants Manchester United and come to the Crystal Palace in the British Championship?
Media reporters have too many questions. > They couldn't wait to pour out all their questions immediately, hoping that Tong Yi would give them a satisfactory answer.
At this time, James Rodrios, the press officer of the Crystal Palace Club, immediately announced, "The press conference will now officially begin. First, we would like to invite our chairman, Mr. Steve Parish, to speak!"
Bang bang bang!
Although the reporters in the audience were clapping their hands, their eyes fell on Tong Yi on the stage, their eyes full of inquiry.
Song Guotao, a reporter from China's "Sports Weekly", also stared at Tong Yi closely, and his mind was full of questions. He even didn't understand why the Premier League giant Manchester United did not coach, but chose to come to an English football club.
Championship team?
Even if you don't reach a cooperation with Manchester United, you shouldn't be reduced to a British Championship team?
Now that there are so many excellent teams in the world and even wealthy teams are offering you an olive branch, why don't you go to the top leagues and come to the English Championship?
Song Guotao really couldn’t understand!
There are still crazy reports in China that Tong Yi will take over from Ferguson to coach the Red Devils Manchester United. Yesterday, there were even countless Chinese reporters squatting outside the Carrington training base and Old Trafford Stadium.
Just waiting for your arrival.
There were even many Manchester United fans who held up banners saying "Welcome Tong Yi".
Manchester United fans are also full of expectations for Tong Yi's arrival.
But this guy Tong Yi not only did not appear at Old Trafford, he did not even appear in Manchester. He now appeared directly in Croydon, South London, and appeared at the British Championship team Crystal Palace Football Club.
Training base Beckenham training base.
What does this guy Tong Yi want?
Do you really want to coach Crystal Palace, a Championship team?
Why?
I can’t understand!
All the media reporters at the scene couldn’t understand!
Suddenly, Parish immediately said, "First of all, thank you all for coming to our team's press conference today. I also feel your enthusiasm. This is the first time that the press conference hall of our Beckenham training base has welcomed such a
There are many media reporters, I am really happy and thank you for your support!"
Bang bang bang!
The media reporters below applauded again, but they were very anxious. Please get to the point quickly! The media reporters are eager to know the inside information.
Parrish naturally saw the anxiety in the eyes of the media reporters. He smiled slightly and said, "We have summoned all the media colleagues here today. We have two pieces of news to announce to you."
media reporter
Our ears immediately pricked up. Is it finally time to get to the point?
Parish immediately said, "The first news is that we are very honored to invite the best young coach in world football today, and the best and youngest Bundesliga champion and Europa League champion coach Mr. Tong Yi. Starting today, Tong Yi
Mr. Yi will become the football manager of our Crystal Palace Football Club, that is, the head coach!"
boom!
The media reporters all exploded!
Although they had guessed it before, they were still very surprised and unbelievable when they heard Parrish say this!
Why are you Crystal Palace?
Crystal Palace is just a team in the English Championship? How can you compete with Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Chelsea, Schalke 04 and Liverpool, the world's most deadly top football clubs?
Why?
The media reporters at the scene all stared at Tong Yi with puzzled faces. They really couldn’t understand why Tong Yi chose Crystal Palace? What is it about Crystal Palace that attracts you so much? There are giants like Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
Doesn’t it smell good?
This guy Tong Yi's brain is really ruined.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't make this choice!
Anyway, if all the media reporters at the scene were Tong Yi, they would not make such a choice. How can Crystal Palace compare with teams such as Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Chelsea?
Moreover, Crystal Palace is now in financial crisis. Not long after last season ended, almost half of their players have been sold to Crystal Palace Football Club for cash. It is still very difficult to balance the books.
.
It is said that Parish is currently busy with financing matters, preparing to sell some shares to attract new wealthy people to inject new capital into the team, so that Crystal Palace can operate normally next season.
With such a team, why would you, Tong Yi, choose him?
If you go to Manchester United, Chelsea, or even Bayern Munich, it will be much better than this.
The media reporters were all staring at Tong Yi closely, not knowing why Tong Yi made such a choice. Now they want to ask questions to find out what Tong Yi thinks.
Song Guotao's eyes were also very disappointed and lost.
How did that happen?
Instead of going to a wealthy club, go to a British Championship team that is in financial crisis? Tong Yi, what are you thinking?
Tong Yi on the stage was calm and expressionless.
Parish continued, "We are honored to invite Mr. Tong Yi. We believe that the team will definitely achieve good results in the future under the leadership of Mr. Tong Yi, and our Crystal Palace club will also usher in a take-off. We believe that Tong Yi
Sir, he did it in Munich in 1860 Everything we have achieved, we can do here at Crystal Palace! It is our Crystal Palace’s honor to be able to sign an excellent head coach like Tong Yi, and thank you Mr. Tong Yi for choosing our Crystal Palace Football Club!”
As he said this, Parrish smiled and nodded to Tong Yi.
Tong Yi immediately said, "Mr. Parish is so complimentary. Thank you Crystal Palace Club for your support. I will definitely go all out to lead Crystal Palace to achieve excellent results!"
Parrish was very satisfied and kept nodding.
Parish continued, "After negotiations with Mr. Tong Yi's team, our Crystal Palace Football Club will sign a five-year contract with Mr. Tong Yi, which means that starting today, in the next five years, Mr. Tong Yi will
He is the head coach of our Crystal Palace Football Club!"
Five years!
The media reporters were all shocked. Tong Yi actually signed such a long contract. Why did Tong Yi?
At this time, Parrish signaled the staff to bring up the three contracts he had prepared. Then, he, Tong Yi and the blond man with big waves came up.
Witnessed by media reporters and under the lens of media reporters, the ladies solemnly signed their names on the contract.
Starting today, Tong Yi officially becomes the head coach of Crystal Palace Football Club in the English Championship.
Bang bang bang!
Under the leadership of Parish, everyone at the scene applauded. Congratulations to Crystal Palace for signing such an excellent head coach. Congratulations to Tong Yi for finding a new job. Congratulations to them.
But media reporters still haven’t figured out why this guy Tong Yi chose Crystal Palace?
After all, there are so many choices in front of Tong Yi. It can be said that all major giants let him choose. Moreover, Ferguson has made it clear that Tong Yi will become his successor, and Manchester United will fully support it.
Tong Yi, they also believe that Tong Yi can lead Manchester United to another peak.
However, just a few days later, the plot took a turn for the worse.
Tong Yi did not go to Manchester United, but went to the British Championship team Crystal Palace!
This is unbelievable!
Who can guess this plot? Anyway, none of the media reporters at the scene guessed it!
Then, Parrish signaled the staff to bring up the No. 0 jersey with Tong Yi's name on it that had been prepared. Tong Yi immediately stood behind the No. 0 jersey, and Parrish and
The blond beauty with big waves stood beside Tong Yi on the left and right, holding the two shoulders of the jersey, and took a photo together to commemorate the occasion.
The media reporters at the scene did not have time to relax. They came to the stage one after another, pointed their cameras at the three people on the stage, pressed the shutter in their hands, and recorded everything.
Starting today, Tong Yi, an outstanding young coach from China, has officially become the head coach of the British Championship team Crystal Palace Football Club. The contract period is five years!
