And just when Tong Yi led Crystal Palace to fly to Japan, the second round of the 2016 Club World Cup officially started.

In the afternoon, Mexico America from CONCACAF defeated AFC Champions Jeonbuk Hyundai 2-1 and advanced to the semi-finals; in the evening, the host Kashima Antlers defeated African champion Sandance 2-0. Advance to the semi-finals.

Crystal Palace will face Mexico America in the semi-finals of the 2016 Club World Cup. The host Kashima Antlers will face the South American Libertadores Cup champion Atlético Nacional.

Mexico America still has some strength, but not much.

Many media reporters believed that this time there was no threat to the Crystal Palace team.

This is considered a relatively weak Club World Cup.

In the past, there were giants from Argentina or Brazil that came to challenge for the Champions League title. Who does this Colombian team count now? They probably don't have much strength.

There is simply no team that can threaten Crystal Palace this time.

Crystal Palace will definitely win the 2016 Club World Cup.

Crystal Palace fans are also full of confidence in this and they feel there is no problem.

Crystal Palace is in very good shape at the moment. It is still undefeated in the Premier League and has an astonishing record of 13 wins and 2 draws. This is not something that ordinary teams can do. And so far this season, Crystal Palace has played 26 games in all competitions, and their total score is 22 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Such results are enough to prove that they are the top team.

It should be very easy for them to face Mexico America or any national competition.

Some Crystal Palace fans even believe that the main purpose of Crystal Palace's trip to Japan is to take a vacation and then return home by winning the Club World Cup.

Relaxing and comfortable.

However, before departure, Tong Yi said, "Don't underestimate any team. Those who can come to the Club World Cup have stepped on countless teams to come to the Club World Cup. I hope my players will be correct." Keep your mentality in mind, we are not going to travel, but to win championships."

Many media reporters and fans feel that Tong Yi is a bit too energetic.

How can these rotten fish and shrimps threaten Crystal Palace in the Club World Cup? As long as Crystal Palace shows 50% of their strength, they will be enough to win the championship.

At this time, the Argentinian Volpe, the head coach of Mexico America, stood up and said, "The words of the Chinese coach are correct. Don't underestimate any team. Any team that can come to the Club World Cup is not a weak team, and in Before coming to Japan, I had already drawn the conclusion from the great Chinese book "The Book of Changes" that this time we in Mexico America will win the Club World Cup and be very lucky!"

All the media reporters were stunned, what is this?

When the Japanese reporters became interested, it turned out that just as the rumors said, this Volpe was very obsessed with Chinese culture, especially Chinese Feng Shui and Numerology culture.

Look,

Hasn’t this person already studied the Book of Changes?

However, for Volpe's players, they don't know whether Volpe understands Feng Shui and numerology. But one thing they knew very well was that Volpe was very superstitious.

For example, he never accepted shaking hands with the opposing coach before a game.

Because in his opinion it is unlucky to shake hands with the opponent before the game, he almost never shakes hands with the opponent's coach in the games he plays. There was even a game where the opponent's head coach was his long-time friend and former teammate "Little Bug" Herrera. He rejected Herrera who came up to reminisce and refused to shake hands. Herrera became furious. I didn’t even have contact with Volpe for a long time, and almost broke off the relationship.

Also before a game, he felt that the day and the color of the team's away jersey complemented each other perfectly, and he could easily lead the team to victory by wearing the away team jersey. So he made a request to change the away jersey at his home court before the game...

Also, he and his players once proposed to write the name of the opponent player they feared on a piece of paper, then put it in a coffin model and bury it in the stadium, so that they would no longer be afraid of this player...

Volpe has done a lot of ridiculous things like this.

He is really superstitious to the extreme, and many players are afraid of working with him.

He even once asked his players to stick out their tongues and lick them like dogs, saying that this would dissipate all the bad luck from the body and so on.

This is a really special manager.

Even compared to him, Tong Yi, the great Chinese prophet and great mage, is a scumbag. He is the greatest mage in the world. There is no comparison between Tong Yi's superficial skills and his, and he is not even qualified to carry his shoes.

Many European media reporters at the scene were confused by Volpe.

They don't even know what Chinese books Volpe is talking about?

At this time, Volpe said again, "Don't believe it, my predictions and premonitions are very accurate! I have studied the famous Chinese Feng Shui and numerology literature "The Sixteen-Character Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" and "Kanyu" "San Ming Tong Hui", "Yuan Hai Zi Ping", "Tui Meitu" and so on, how can these be understood by you mortals? Even if I tell you, you don't understand, hey, mortals!"

At this time, even the local Japanese media reporters were confused and full of doubts.

What's happening here?

Even though they are very close to China and have been influenced by Chinese culture for hundreds of thousands of years, they still can't understand what books this foreigner is talking about? None of them had heard of it. How did this foreigner know so clearly?

Is this guy really a master of Chinese numerology?

The media reporters from Europe and America were even more confused, not knowing where they were.

Even the media reporters from Argentina or North America who are familiar with Volpe don't know what this guy is talking about?

Volpe also said, "Sure enough, you don't understand anything! But it doesn't matter, you just need to know that our Mexican America will win the Club World Cup this year. You don't need to understand anything else!"

Everyone understands this sentence.

To be honest, they were all shocked. Is this guy Volpe so confident?

Are you not crazy?

Volpe also said, "Of course, Crystal Palace is indeed very strong, and they will definitely cause us a lot of trouble. But you have to believe in numerology and luck. In this game, we, Mexico America, will definitely win." Victory, I am very knowledgeable in numerology, we will definitely win."

To be honest, Tong Yi's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing this.

He didn't expect that Volpe, an Argentinian, would be so obsessed with numerology and feng shui, and even become a bit possessed.

He was truly stunned.

Is China’s cultural influence so far-reaching?

He also knew little about the literature and books Volpe mentioned, and had never heard of many of them. Mainly because he didn't know the foreign translations of these books, he had never even heard of them, and he was completely confused.

Tong Yi shook his head slightly, indicating that he was lacking in talent and knowledge.

Tong Yi turned to look at Yuan Zhen and asked, "Have you heard of these books?"

Yuan Zhen smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I don't understand many of them, but there is one book that I seem to know, and it is the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique"."

Upon hearing Yuan Zhen's translation, Tong Yi was even more stunned.

Looking at Tong Yi's appearance, Yuan Zhen also understood that Tong Yi must have read the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Yuan Zhendu couldn't help laughing.

Could this Volpe have been deceived by some "celestial masters" in America? "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" is just a fabricated thing in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Don’t they all think that this secret book exists in the real world?

To be honest, these "celestial masters" who deceived Volpe were really unkind and unprofessional.

Anyone who has read this book will know that Volpe was deceived.

These "celestial masters" are really too bold.

Tong Yi and Yuan Zhen looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They both felt a little sorry for the Volpe coach. This guy was deceived and didn't realize it. He also felt that he had really received the true teachings of the Chinese numerology and Feng Shui master.

That’s outrageous!

Volpe was really deceived.

Of course, Tong Yi will not underestimate Volpe and the Mexican American team because of this.

What if, what if this guy Volpe was pretending? His purpose is to confuse all opponents? If this is the case, this Volpe is also a difficult opponent.

Tong Yi really doesn't believe these rumors.

As for Volpe's performance, Tong Yi also felt that this guy must have done it on purpose. Therefore, this opponent may not be as easy to play as the media reporters said, and Volpe may not be as bad as the media reporters ridiculed.

Therefore, Tong Yi laughed it off.

He doesn't care about this at all. What he has to do now is to start from themselves first, adjust his own state to the best, and show his best state and strength. No matter what machinations the opponent has, it is their Crystal Palace team that wins in the end.

So, what they have to do now is to be themselves.

You can understand the words and behavior of people like Volpe, but you don't need to pay special attention to them.

Tong Yi also laughed off the reports about Volpe.

Of course, Tong Yi attached great importance to the information about Volpe and Mexican America prepared by the team's Schwartz. These are much more powerful than those produced by media reporters, and Tong Yi attaches great importance to them.

But to be honest, Mexico America has a certain strength, but it is not enough to threaten Crystal Palace.

Tong Yi feels that it is relatively easy for Crystal Palace to defeat Mexico America.

By this time, Volpe had also accepted interviews from media reporters.

He said, "With my understanding of Chinese culture, I should be able to chat with the Chinese head coach of Crystal Palace, because I understand it very well! Of course, he doesn't need to get close to me. I will not shake hands with him before the game. I hope he doesn’t embarrass himself.”

hiss!

The media reporters are all numb!

This Volpe really thinks of himself as a person. You don’t really think that Tong Yi wants to shake hands with you, do you?

Brother, wake up!

After Tong Yi heard Volpe's words again, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy is really interesting. Even if this is acting, it shows that this guy is very powerful. He can get into the role so deeply, which is not something ordinary actors can do.

Tong Yi reminded the Crystal Palace players to be careful in this game and not to be affected by Volpe's miscellaneous behavior. They must concentrate on this game and go all out to win. Next game.

The Crystal Palace players nodded one after another, saying that they would not underestimate Mexico America.

Seeing the players' statements like this, Tong Yi became more confident in this game. He firmly believed that their Crystal Palace could defeat Mexico America and win the Club World Cup.
