373: The first game of Crystal Palace Asia tour is approaching

When Tong Yi walked out of the conference room, he happened to see Hua Changqing and Nian Donglai outside the training ground!

Tong Yi was slightly surprised. He didn't expect these two people to be here?

Could it be that the Chinese men's football team is also training in Haigeng recently?

No, isn't the Chinese Super League in full swing now? The next Russian World Cup Asian qualifier for the Chinese men's football team will also be held at the end of August. It's still early.

The Chinese men’s football team shouldn’t be training here, right?

With doubts, Tong Yi walked over and said hello to the two presidents of the Chinese Football Association.

After all, I've seen him before, so it wouldn't make sense if he didn't say hello.

"How are you two, Chairman? What are you..." Tong Yi asked after greeting him.

Hua Changqing and Nian Donglai smiled and shook hands with Tong Yi, and then Hua Changqing said, "When we learned that your Crystal Palace went to Haigeng for training, we came to take a look and gain knowledge. Let's see what the world's top Champions League champion team does. How to train? You can also learn some experience from it!"

Tong Yi was a little speechless. You guys think too highly of the Crystal Palace.

Nian Donglai also said, "Don't think we are talking politely. A group of young coaches will come to Haigen base tomorrow. I asked them to come and follow me. I hope it will be helpful to them!"

Tong Yi raised his eyebrows, is there such a thing?

When Nian Donglai saw it, he immediately said, "Don't worry, they won't disturb your normal training. He will just follow and learn from the outside. There are also some young national coaches among them, and they also want to lead the team." So... I won’t cause any trouble to you! I hope you don’t mind.”

Tong Yi waved his hand and said, "That's not true, as long as it doesn't affect our team's normal training. And there's no need to watch from the outside. I can let Pintus and the others take care of them!"

Upon hearing this, Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing were instantly happy. They both knew that they were right to be shameless this time.

This guy Tong Yi is indeed a patriotic person with strong patriotic feelings.

To be honest, Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing felt a little embarrassed.

It's shameful to say that they still put some thought into this.

Who told Tong Yi to lead his apprentices well? Look at the apprentices who followed him. Now most of them have gone out to work on their own. Especially Yuan Zhen, they saw the huge changes in Yuan Zhen's body and decided to let Tong Yi help lead some young coaches in the country.

They also hope that more outstanding coaches will emerge in Chinese football.

Although they also know that this short time is definitely not enough, but as much as these guys can learn, it is much better than not at all.

As long as it doesn't affect the team's normal training, Tong Yi doesn't mind taking care of these people.

Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing kept thanking Tong Yi.

Later they talked about Yuan Zhen again.

To be honest, they were really surprised by Yuan Zhen's change. This guy was ordered to take over the Chinese men's football team at a critical moment, and he won the first life-and-death battle, which made people all over the country excited. Hua Changqing and Nian Donglai were also very excited. At this time, they were all thanking Tong Yi.

In their view, without Tong Yi, there would be no Yuan Zhen today!

Although the current hope of the Chinese men's football team to advance is not particularly high, they do see hope.

Therefore, they thank Tong Yi frequently.

Tong Yi immediately waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to take credit for this. This is all Xiao Yuan's credit. You should thank him. And don't put too much pressure on him. After all, he is still quite young now. He faced this from the beginning. It’s an important event, so you can imagine the pressure he’s under!”

Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing nodded one after another, sighing and praising him!

This is indeed the case. This is indeed a bit unfair to Yuan Zhen.

It is really difficult for him to shoulder the hope of the whole country at such a young age. To be honest, Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing were a little bit intolerable, but there was no way, there were too few domestic talents. Except for Yuan Zhen, no one of them believed it.

Therefore, only Yuan Zhending went up!

To be honest, they really hope that Tong Yi can lead the Chinese men's football team in the World Cup qualifiers. But it's obviously impossible. After all, Tong Yi still has Crystal Palace to take care of, so there is no time at all.

Moreover, they had sent invitations to Tong Yi many times before, but they were all rejected.

They also understood Tong Yi's thoughts and difficulties, so they chose Yuan Zhen to study with Tong Yi. Now that Yuan Zhen has finally returned from his studies and has done well in leading the team, they are also very grateful to Tong Yi.

They also feel that Tong Yi has paid a lot for the Chinese men's football team.

But Tong Yi waved his hand and said, "I really didn't contribute much, so you don't need to praise me so much. These are all Xiao Yuan's contributions, and you should give him more support!"

Hua Changqing immediately said, "Don't worry, we will definitely give Xiao Yuan the greatest support. Now the people across the country are supporting him, don't worry about this!"

Tong Yi nodded slightly, chatted with Hua Changqing and the others again, then declined Hua Changqing's invitation to have a casual meal, and then walked directly into the training ground.

Although Pintus has been leading the physical reserve training, Tong Yi still wanted to go over and have a look.

This is not to say that he does not believe in Pintus, but to make the Crystal Palace players feel that he is always there as the head coach. He wants the Crystal Palace players to get used to this, so that when they play in the stadium in the future, they will have such thoughts and have such psychological support!

Tong Yi

After arriving on the sidelines, he did not disturb Pintus and sat quietly observing, writing and drawing.

The busy days start now.

The next day, a group of young Chinese coaches did come to the Crystal Palace training base under the leadership of Nian Donglai. The Crystal Palace players and coaching staff were not surprised at all.

Because Tong Yi has told everyone about this before.

He said that a group of coaches would come back today and lead the team training with their coaching staff. Let everyone not pay attention to them, don't pay too much attention to them, don't be influenced by them, and just continue to train step by step.

They were vaccinated, so these Crystal Palace players didn't care and continued to train with all their heart.

Tong Yi took a look and saw that these coaches were indeed very young.

He also went to find out, and there were even a few young coaches from the grassroots, which surprised Tong Yi.

However, this also shows that Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing want to do something for Chinese football.

Therefore, Tong Yi didn’t say much!

Let them go directly to watch Pintus and the others lead the team for training.

Of course, before coming, Hua Changqing and the others also told these coaches not to affect the normal training of the Crystal Palace. If you have any questions, write them down by yourself, discuss and solve them by yourself, or come down and ask questions later. Don’t affect the normal training of the Crystal Palace!

These guys also knew that this kind of opportunity came once in a lifetime, so they were all very honest and didn't make any mistakes.

Tong Yi is quite satisfied!

Tong Yi also asked the members of the coaching staff to answer questions or impart experience to these young men whenever they have the opportunity, without affecting the team's normal training.

Therefore, Tong Yi's coaching staff is quite helpful to these little guys.

Seeing this, Hua Changqing and Nian Donglai were filled with gratitude to Tong Yi.

Sure enough, Tong Yi still thinks about the country.

Tong Yi doesn't have such a noble idea. He just can do what he can without affecting the Crystal Palace!

Of course, Tong Yi and the others put more energy into preparations for the new season.

After all, the new season is getting closer!

Now the outside world is frantically warming up to the upcoming Crystal Palace Asia Tour commercial competition, and now fans across the country are looking forward to it. It is said that a large number of fans flocked to Spring City and rushed to the Haigeng base. But obviously this is a closed training place, no one can come in at all, not even the media reporters!

From the perspective of Tong Yi and Crystal Palace, their trip to Asia has not yet begun!

Therefore, they do not want to enter the stage of commercial promotion so early now. They must store their physical energy

After the preparation training is completed, and the technical and tactical training is completed, publicity can begin.

And the Chinese fans are restless!

They are very passionate about the Crystal Palace. When they think of the stars at Crystal Palace, they want to scream. It is really a joy to see these players playing in China.

It is said that the tickets for Tianhe Center have been sold out for a long time, and you can’t even buy scalper tickets on the Internet.

This is really hot.

Now everyone is waiting for the official start of the Crystal Palace Asia Tour. They want to see Tong Yi, Ronaldo and others in the Tianhe Center!

Nowadays, all walks of life in the country are busy, and they all want to take advantage of it.

This is even more popular than 2002!

This is something that many people don't think of.

But Tong Yi and the others don't feel anything yet. They are all devoted to training and preparing for the following games. By this time, Crystal Palace was slowly starting to practice with the ball and hone their skills and tactics for the new season. This shows that the new season is really very close.

Currently, the game Crystal Palace has to face is their first warm-up match before the new season. Their opponent is Yuezhou Hengtai, a giant from China. This team won the Asian Champions League in 2013 and 2015 and is Asia's top club. Although it is going downhill now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

Many fans in China are still full of expectations for them, and some even think that Yuezhou Hengtai has the strength to compete with Crystal Palace!

Of course, more fans and media reporters don't think so.

There is still a big gap in strength between Yuezhou Hengtai and Crystal Palace.

However, they did not go there for the result of the game. They went just for Tong Yi and the football superstars from Crystal Palace. They didn't even go to watch the game, but to chase stars!

However, Tong Yi and the others didn't think so. Tong Yi still prepared for this game as a formal game. Although it was a commercial game, it was also a pre-season warm-up match for Crystal Palace. After all, there are only five Crystal Palace pre-season warm-up games this season, and the other four are commercial games. If they don't pay attention, they don't have enough warm-up games.

Therefore, Tong Yi and the others still attach great importance to this competition!

Of course, paying attention does not mean paying attention to results!

In this kind of warm-up match, what Tong Yi never cared about was not the result, but the process.

He hopes to complete the team's running-in and discover problems through these games, so that it will be helpful for the new season.

Of course, as the business competition of the Asia trip is approaching, Tong Yi and the others are also engaging in more and more business activities. Tong Yi's side was more about handing over the team to Stecrus, Kruger and Pintus, while he went to attend business activities.
