Tong Yi was sitting in the hotel where he was staying in Sao Paulo, Brazil, looking at the list Schwartz had compiled for him.
Looking at the names on the list, Tong Yi smiled knowingly.
Schwartz certainly did not disappoint me.
Among the names on his list are Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Icardi, Lewandowski, Benteke, Suarez and Balotelli.
It can be said that this list almost includes all the best centers nowadays.
Moreover, he also marked the list with stars.
A five-star rating indicates that it is extremely difficult to introduce, and the lower the star rating, the easier it is to introduce.
Among them, Lewandowski is the only five-star player in this list, Cavani is four and a half stars, Ibrahimovic and Icardi are four stars, and Balotelli and Suarez are two stars.
star, and Benteke is one star.
In Schwartz's view, Crystal Palace can bring in Benteke with just a few clicks.
Benteke currently plays for Aston Villa in the Premier League. His performance in the Premier League is very good. In fact, many Premier League teams are eyeing this guy.
However, this guy's advantages and disadvantages are also very obvious.
The advantage is that he is tall and strong, has strong impact and has good heading ability.
The disadvantage is that he is quick and rough at the feet, and his shooting skills are not very good. More importantly, he has a bit of a glass personality. He has only been in the Premier League from Belgium for two seasons. His performance is very good, but he has also been injured.
Twice. Although the injuries were not serious, he also had to practice for 6 weeks last season.
What's more important is that he was originally a member of the Belgian national team for this World Cup, and he would compete with Lukaku for the starting center position. Who knew that during an ordinary training before the World Cup, he injured his shot and was unable to participate in this tournament?
World Cup, still recovering from injuries.
This also discourages the clubs that have been staring at him!
It is said that before the World Cup, Chelsea's head coach Mourinho originally planned to bring in Benteke to replace the departed Luka. Unexpectedly, Benteke was suddenly injured, and Mourinho gave up this plan and turned around.
Attack on Costa.
However, Tong Yi saw from the information collected by Schwartz that Benteke's listing was not serious and would not affect pre-season physical reserve training.
However, because of this guy's injury, Crystal Palace will hardly encounter any competition.
Moreover, Aston Villa should also be anxious to send Benteke away, and they also have Benteke in their hands.
Therefore, it should be very easy for Crystal Palace to introduce Benteke at this time.
Now it depends on whether Tong Yi wants Benteke to take over the position left after Lukaku left.
Although Benteke has only been in the Premier League for two seasons, his performance has been very good, and it can even be said that he has adapted perfectly to the Premier League. In the 2012 and 2013 seasons, Benteke played 34 times and scored 19 goals. Last season, he played 26 times and scored 19 goals.
Enter 10 The ball and the efficiency are really good.
Seeing this, Tong Yi also nodded slightly.
Benteke is actually a very practical center with good impact and scoring ability. However, his shooting skills and psychological quality are actually not very good. In Tong Yi's memory, Benteke
Turk's most glorious seasons were at Aston Villa. Unfortunately, when he went to Liverpool or Crystal Palace later, he did not meet expectations. Although he performed well in two seasons at Crystal Palace in the later period, the ups and downs were too uncertain.
Moreover, the attributes of the Glass Man caused him to be injured many times, which affected his growth and performance.
However, for now, Tong Yi still needs a center like Benteke.
However, this guy sometimes plays lazily and doesn't move much in the frontcourt.
This cannot satisfy Tong Yi.
In Tong Yi's tactics, the center is the first line of defense. Even the running distance of the center must be equal to or beyond the midfield.
If Benteke is introduced, Benteke must make changes in this aspect!
However, Tong Yi actually doesn’t particularly want to bring in Benteke, because he feels that there is not much difference between Benteke and Ignacio who grew up. To some extent, he is even more optimistic about Ignacio.
.
So, Benteke, wait and see!
Then, Suarez and Balotelli!
These two people also scare Tong Yi away!
Needless to say about Balotelli, this guy has a perverse personality, is very difficult to understand, and is very difficult to communicate with.
Even though Mancini has a very good relationship with him and values him very much, it is very difficult to communicate with him. Tong Yi does not think that he can communicate well with Balotelli or have any good cooperation.
However, Balotelli performed very well when he returned to Italy from the Premier League. He has now become a sharp knife on AC Milan's front line. He joined 13 games and scored 12 goals in the middle of last season. This season he is in the league
He scored 14 goals in 30 appearances, gradually making people feel that Balotelli is normal again.
It is said that after this meeting Balotelli also wanted to leave Italy and return to England.
Moreover, Liverpool are also very interested in him.
If Balotelli wants to leave, AC Milan will naturally not be able to keep him.
And Balotelli also has the idea of returning to England.
Therefore, it is not very difficult for Crystal Palace to introduce Balotelli.
However, Tong Yi is not very optimistic about Balotelli.
The main reason is that this guy is too difficult to communicate with. After being introduced, he will definitely be a time bomb for the team, which will affect the ball.
The team's performance in the coming season.
Therefore, Tong Yi directly drew a cross on Balotelli's name.
Not Balotelli!
Then, Tong Yi also drew a cross after Suarez's name.
It is no longer news that Suarez wants to leave Liverpool. It is not difficult to bring him in. As long as you can afford the money and let Suarez see the hope of winning the championship, you can bring him in.
In terms of hopes of winning the championship, Crystal Palace can satisfy Suarez.
But in terms of money, Crystal Palace is not satisfied.
As for the current Suarez, if you don't have more than 60 million pounds, it is almost impossible for you to take him away from Liverpool.
If Tong Yi remembers correctly, this summer, Barcelona spent 65 million pounds to bring Suarez down to the Camp Nou.
So, this has nothing to do with Crystal Palace!
Crystal Palace can't afford that kind of money!
So, Suarez gave up.
Then there’s Icardi!
To be honest, Tong Yi is still very optimistic about Icardi. He even wanted to introduce Icardi when he was in Munich 1860. Unfortunately, in the end, it didn't happen due to various reasons.
And Tong Yi already thinks that Icardi is very suitable for his tactics.
However, it is very difficult to introduce Icardi.
Because Icardi only moved to Inter Milan last year, he is highly regarded in Inter Milan. Although he only scored 9 goals for Inter Milan last season, Inter Milan still believes in him and will still use him in the new season.
he.
And Tong Yi knows very well that Icardi will cause a big explosion next season. He will play 48 times for Inter Milan and score 27 goals, and become the first choice in Serie A with 22 goals.
If Icardi is introduced at this time, it will definitely be a good thing for Crystal Palace.
However, this is very difficult, because Inter Milan will not sell Icardi, and Icardi and his girlfriend Wanda are not willing to leave Milan, the fashion capital, at least now they are
Don't want to leave.
Therefore, it is very difficult and almost impossible to introduce Icardi!
However, Tong Yi did not just give up. He drew a circle behind Icardi's name and planned to let Vieri and the others contact Inter Milan and Icardi to see what they thought.
What if there is a drama?
Then there's Ibrahimovic!
To be honest, this is also a person with a perverse and domineering personality, and he seems to be the kind of person who is not easy to get along with.
However, Tong Yi still admires Ibrahimovic very much.
if possible If so, he naturally hopes to introduce Ibrahimovic.
After all, he knew very well that although Ibrahimovic was old, he could still maintain this excellent state for seven or eight years. After all, he was still able to score 20 goals in the Premier League when he was 35 years old.
, even if I went to the United States at the end of my career.
The strength of Guohe AC Milan is also very strong, and they are even called Poverty Alleviation Manchester United and Poverty Alleviation Milan by later generations of fans.
At the age of 39, he was still able to score 10 goals in 18 appearances for AC Milan in Serie A in a single season, which is really sharp.
If such a forward can come to Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace will definitely make a profit.
But it is obvious that Paris Saint-Germain will not sell Ibrahimovic at this time. After all, Ibrahimovic played 33 times for them last season and scored 26 goals.
And Tong Yi also knows that in the next two seasons, Ibrahimovic will score 19 and 38 goals for Paris Saint-Germain.
How could PSG sell such a striker?
After all, the oil tycoon behind them is not short of money at all.
So Tong Yi also drew a cross after Ibrahimovic's name.
Next is Cavani. He is a striker that Paris Saint-Germain spent 64.5 million euros to introduce last year. How could they sell it so casually?
Therefore, the purchase difficulty directly reaches four and a half stars!
Tong Yi almost didn't need to read it in detail before he drew a cross behind Cavani's name.
The last Lewandowski is even more impossible!
He had already signed a contract with Bayern Munich in January this year, and he reported directly to Bayern Munich as soon as July 1st. Tong Yi and the others had no chance to introduce this Polish footballer!
pity!
In fact, Tong Yi still admires Lewandowski very much. He had already wanted to introduce him when he was in Munich 1860. Unfortunately, they had no fate and never worked together!
Tong Yi also drew a cross after this name!
Therefore, with such a long list, there are really not many people that Tong Yi can introduce!
However, he is still very satisfied with Schwartz's work. These forwards are all outstanding. To be honest, many of them, Tong Yi, are also very greedy. But there is no way, no fate!
It’s a pity that we can’t bring in these people!
It seems that he has to compile a list himself.
Of course, he actually knows it in his heart, and he will soon decide on the candidate for the center.
But at this time, an accident happened, and some players wanted to leave Crystal Palace!
Yes, at this time, Tong Yi received a call from Campbell, who claimed that a player at Crystal Palace had submitted a transfer application to the club and was preparing to leave the team.
