Not long after Campbell left, after Crystal Palace sold Jedinak, Nagelsmann, Pintus and the others also returned.
Before coming back, they went to France again.
They went to Toulouse and introduced Ivory Coast right back Serge Aurier for 3 million euros.
A year and a half ago, Aurier's transfer fee to Toulouse was only 1.5 million euros. 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 not difficult for him to obtain a French passport.
Aurier is from Cote d'Ivoire, but he came to France when he was a child. He has been in France for more than ten years now, which is enough for him to obtain a French passport.
As for this matter, Nagelsmann left it to Toulouse.
Toulouse helped Aurier obtain a French passport, and Crystal Palace paid the transfer fee.
Toulouse agreed without thinking because it was so easy to operate.
After Aurier obtained his French passport, he no longer had to worry about the labor certificate issue.
Tong Yi was very satisfied when he saw Aurier, Milinkovic-Savic and Schultz behind Nagelsmann and Pintus. He was very satisfied with the signings this season and also with these two people.
Very satisfied with the work.
Then Tong Yi handed these players over to Wagner and asked Wagner and his medical team to conduct a collective physical examination. If there are no problems in the physical examination, these players will officially join the Crystal Palace.
After the physical examination, Tong Yi was ready to formally introduce these players to the media and Crystal Palace fans.
At this time, the players of the Crystal Palace first team also returned to London in twos and threes, because the assembly day before the new season of Crystal Palace was coming soon.
If they don't come back, they will be late!
Being late is a big deal.
Troublesome.
Moreover, almost all the new players introduced by Tong Yi have arrived at this time, and they are all undergoing physical examinations.
Then, Tong Yi also asked the returning Crystal Palace players to undergo physical examinations. Tong Yi wanted to see if these guys were crazy this summer and if there was a weight report?
So at this time, Wagner, Dephne and Joanna became busy.
And while they were busy, Campbell also came back.
Campbell also brought someone back.
A man that many people don't expect - Ricardo Carvalho!
Yes, Tong Yi's task for Campbell is to bring back the free agent Carvalho.
Even though Carvalho is already 35 years old, he is still very capable and competitive.
In Tong Yi's memory, Ka This summer, Carvalho moved to Monaco, a wealthy French team. Here, Carvalho originally only got a one-year contract. However, he played as the main center back in Monaco for three years until 2016.
Depart Monaco.
And he also helped Monaco win double runner-up in Ligue 1 and French Cup as the main player.
More importantly, he returned to the Portuguese national team in 2014 and became the regular main player of the Portuguese national team in the European Cup. He also won the European Cup with the Portuguese national team in 2016. At that European Cup, the group
During the competition, he was the team's main center back, starting in all three games. If it weren't for his age, physical fitness, and injuries, it's hard to say that he would have always been the main player.
Therefore, although Carvalho is older at this stage, 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 older, his speed is not as fast as before, his turning speed is not as fast as before, and his physical confrontation is not very strong. But before, he was not a very fast central defender, nor did he rely on his body to make a living.
Yes, he is that rare player who is very smart and relies on his brain to play football.
He is a typical deep-lying central defender.
He has a perfect sense of position and defensive insight, and his positioning skills are first-rate. He is very clever and clever in using his body. He can always take advantage of the disadvantages in the confrontation and complete the defense, even if he faces the Premier League.
Such a powerful center, he is not at the bottom of the game. Moreover, he is very accurate in judging the placement and path of high-altitude balls. He is always able to take the lead and cleverly avert danger.
Moreover, as a Portuguese player, his foot skills are also very delicate, and he is particularly knowledgeable about defensive technical forwards. It is difficult for technical forwards to break through his defense. Moreover, his delicate foot skills also make his ball control ability very good.
He can always quickly and accurately choose the best way to play the ball under high pressure. You can see him blindly kick the ball.
This is a very good deep-lying central defender.
Moreover, he also has very outstanding header ability and air defense ability, which makes it difficult for many Premier League Warcraft-level centers to take advantage of him.
Carvalho now has rich experience and strong willpower, which is exactly what Crystal Palace lacks.
Therefore, Tong Yi asked Campbell to come forward and snatch this position back.
It's really a robbery.
At this time, Monaco is facing
Carvalho is also watching with eager eyes.
Isn’t Ranieri trying to curb his former Porto players like crazy now? So is Carvalho!
Ranieri is also very optimistic about central defenders like Carvalho, and it can even be said that he relies heavily on him.
More importantly, Monaco is not short of money!
At this time, if Crystal Palace were later, they might not be able to grab Monaco.
Tong Yi knew the future, so he made a time lag.
Before Monaco even remembered to contact Carvalho, Crystal Palace took action, cutting through the mess with a quick knife, and directly captured this experienced deep-lying central defender.
Even if this guy fails to come to Crystal Palace, his experience and teachings will be very important to Crystal Palace's young central defenders Van Dijk and Laporte. Tong Yi hopes that these two can learn something from Carvalho.
Nutrients to make yourself more comprehensive and powerful.
Moreover, Tong Yi believes that Carvalho can succeed at Crystal Palace. ??
Carvalho once played in the Premier League. He was transferred to Chelsea for 30 million euros and performed very well at 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, with the final year being a team option.
In the last year, Crystal Palace has the option to renew or not.
Yes, Tong Yi gave Carvalho, a 35-year-old veteran, a nearly three-year contract. This surprised everyone in the Crystal Palace, even Carvalho himself. They didn't expect Tong Yi to be like this.
He has the courage to be so optimistic about Carvalho.
Even Campbell and Harman felt that Tong Yi was a bit impulsive, and they both hoped that Tong Yi could be signed 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 touched and felt like he was taken seriously again.
You have to know that Arsenal, the Premier League giant, has a rule, which is that players over 30 years old will not be given a long-term contract if they are not accustomed to players over 30 years old. But now Tong Yi actually gives a 35-year-old player a one-year contract.
It's really shocking for a gay man to have such a long contract.
Feeling Tong Yi's sincerity, Carvalho also made concessions on his weekly salary. Instead of taking the team's maximum salary of 350,000 pounds per week, he took a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds, which is 260,000 pounds for two years.
A contract of 10,000 pounds, that is, a two-year contract worth more than 3.1 million euros. If the contract is renewed for a third year, the salary will remain unchanged and will still be 250,000 pounds per week.
To be honest, this contract is no longer Very conscientious.
If Tong Yi remembers correctly, Carvalho joined Monaco freely, and his annual salary should be around 2 million euros.
So when he came to the Crystal Palace, Carvalho was still at a bit of a disadvantage.
However, Crystal Palace gave him a 2+1 contract instead of a one-year contract like Monaco.
And to be honest, Crystal Palace is in the Premier League after all, and it can't be compared to the French League One.
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 was still full of expectations for this trip to the Premier League.
Moreover, he himself does not think that he is old and can still fight.
Even next year's World Cup and the European Cup three years later, he will be able to compete 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 health. After all, he is 35 years old. Can he still cope with such a high-intensity game? Is there any hidden injury to his body?
Wagner and the others were very worried.
However, Tong Yi is not worried at all!
After all, he was able to become the main rotating central defender for the European Cup champions in 2016, which explains everything.
However, Tong Yi still valued the opinions of Wagner and others.
Tong Yi asked Wagner and the others to take Carvalho for a physical examination. If he failed the physical examination, Tong Yi would also let Carvalho leave.
Wagner and the others immediately took Carvalho for a medical examination.
Tong Yi was still full of expectations. Kavalu's health should be fine.
Seeing that the physical examination was almost done, Tong Yi couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Leo, how are you? There is nothing wrong with Ricardo's body?"
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 at this grade. It's really amazing! After our professional testing, we are willing to
There is definitely no problem with Ricardo’s body and there is no problem with 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 before the season. If he is not injured this season, there should be no problem in playing twenty or thirty games."
Hearing these words, Tong Yi smiled slightly and was very satisfied.
By this time, the signings for the new season are basically done.
Tong Yi is ready to officially introduce these new players to the fans and media, and then they will start a closed training camp before the new season.
