018: Sure enough, to poach someone, you have to poach your old employer!

There is no rush for De Bruyne right now. All of De Bruyne's attention should be on the World Cup.

This World Cup is very important for Belgium. This is the game where the European Red Devils have the best chance of winning the World Cup. Now all Belgians are working hard for this common goal, especially their players.

They should not consider club transfers before the end of this World Cup.

At least that's the case for De Bruyne!

Before the World Cup started, De Bruyne called Tong Yi and expressed his stance to Tong Yi. As long as Tong Yi wants him to continue to follow him, he is willing to go to Milan!

Therefore, De Bruyne is willing to join Milan personally.

Tong Yi is naturally not in a hurry now.

But it's hard to say whether they can win De Bruyne. After all, Milan's investment is limited.

For example, AC Milan's highest offer is 1.2 billion euros, then Milan's competitors Milan or Paris Saint-Germain offer the same 1.2 billion or even 1.4 billion euros. Crystal Palace is very likely to refuse Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain to sell De Bruyne. Milan. But what if Manchester City or Paris bid 1.6 billion or even 200 million euros? Will Crystal Palace still give up these offers and sell De Bruyne to Milan for 1.2 billion euros?

Maybe Martina is willing, he doesn't care about this little money.

But Tong Yi will care!

Although he currently has no shares in Crystal Palace, in the end it is still his own thing, and it is not worth the loss!

Therefore, Tong Yi most likely thinks that Milan has no chance to win De Bruyne.

Unless Belgium performed too poorly in this World Cup and didn't even qualify for the group.

The better Belgium performs in this World Cup, the higher De Bruyne's worth is likely to be. If Belgium really wins the championship and even enters the top three in the World Cup, De Bruyne's worth will most likely exceed 15 Billion pounds!

At that time, Milan had almost no chance of introducing De Bruyne.

Maybe De Bruyne himself is reluctant to go to Paris, but that's not necessarily the case for Manchester City!

Therefore, Tong Yi's secondary target is Goretzka!

Moreover, it is really possible for Guardiola to let Goretzka retreat to play as a defensive midfielder and De Bruyne to play as an attacking midfielder. It is very likely that both of them will stay in Manchester City. That’s why Tong Yi chose Brandt as his second choice!

At present, it seems that Brandt will most likely be Milan's main attacking midfielder in the new season.

These matters have not yet been decided, so Tong Yi did not consider this matter yet. Now he immediately picked up the phone and dialed Schwartz's number, "Stefan, you should immediately contact Ruben in Portugal and tell him that AC Milan needs him in the new season and see if he intends to join AC Milan. !”

Far away in Russia

When St. Schwartz heard this, he said directly, "I'll be there right away, boss!"

Tong Yi said, "You can guarantee him that as long as he comes to AC Milan, he will be the main central defender of our club in the new season!"

Schwartz naturally had no doubts about Tong Yi's words.

And in his opinion, Dias has grown very rapidly in Crystal Palace in the past few seasons, and he is completely capable of playing the main role. It's a pity that there are two big guys in the Crystal Palace team, Van Dijk and Rudiger, and Dias and Upamecano can only play as substitutes!

Dias also learned a lot from these two people, which is why he grew up so fast.

Before the end of last season, Dias had plans to leave Crystal Palace after the season. Because he continued to stay in Crystal Palace, he almost had no chance to get ahead, and was suppressed by Rudiger and Van Dijk. Instead of staying in the team as a substitute, it is better to go to other teams to play the main role.

And now there are many clubs who want to introduce him!

Dias also has a lot of choices now!

Therefore, the Milan team must act as soon as possible at this time, otherwise if Dias reaches an agreement with other teams, they will have no chance.

As the team's data analyst, Schwartz is very aware of Dias' abilities. He knows very well that Dias is definitely capable of playing the main role in the new season.

He also felt that Tong Yi was right to ask Dias to come over.

Dias has the ability and his current price is not particularly outrageous. Bringing him in should be a good choice.

Of course, Schwartz also thinks Upamecano is good.

But for now, Upamecano does not seem to be ready to leave Crystal Palace. According to his personal statement, he very much wants to continue playing central defender with Van Dijk. He feels that they are a match made in heaven.

And there is news that Rudiger is likely to leave Crystal Palace!

Moreover, Upamecano firmly believes that he has an advantage in the competition with Dias. It is said that Van Dijk is also more willing to partner with Upamecano.

Therefore, after Upamecano saw Van Dijk issue a statement to stay with the team, he also issued a statement to stay with the team, stating that he would still stay at Crystal Palace in the new season!

Therefore, Dias has only one way now, and that is to leave!

Naturally, this is the only way, so after the end of the season, Dias and his agent must have been looking for a suitable next home. Maybe they have already been in contact with many teams. If the Milan team delays a little bit at this time, there will be no chance.

Schwartz's side

Immediately said "I understand, I will contact him right now!"

Tong Yi immediately said, "Okay, call me back after we get in touch!"

Schwartz said he understood, then hung up the phone and went to do errands.

And Tong Yi felt a little uneasy. To be honest, he was still very optimistic about Diaz. He will even introduce Dias as the cornerstone of Milan's defense. With him, Milan will not worry about the core of the central defender in the next ten years!

So, Dias is important!

Of course, Dias’ partner is also very important!

In the new season, Tong Yi has some thoughts on changing the formation. It is no longer the 4213 formation in Crystal Palace. Instead, they want to try the three central defender system. Their formation in the new season is likely to be In the 3412 formation, the positions of the two full-backs will be pre-positioned, directly forming wing-backs.

After coming to Milan, it will be difficult for him to find a defensive midfielder as good as Kanter.

Therefore, he wanted to strengthen the defense in the middle, which was to directly withdraw the midfielder's position to form a three-centre-back system. When switching between offense and defense, there is no need for the midfielder to retreat back and forth to fill the gap between the two center backs. Instead, a center back similar to a sweeper is directly arranged here.

That is to add a defensive barrier to the midfield and backfield.

However, this formation has very high requirements for the wing backs. They must be able to run and have excellent round-trip ability. In this way, young wing backs are more in line with the requirements. Their running ability is better and they are more energetic. They also need players who are more durable.

And he's the kind of player who's good at both offense and defense!

Such players are hard to find, but Tong Yi actually already has a goal!

Now coming back to the central defender issue, with the introduction of Dias, coupled with the club's existing Bonucci and Romagnoli, it seems that the main staff has been deployed.

Bonucci is one of the best central defenders in Italy right now, and there is no doubt about his ability. Although he is older now, his speed and physical fitness have declined somewhat, especially his speed. But for now, he is still capable of playing as the center back on the right of Milan's three central defenders.

And Romagnoli, a young man, can be regarded as a very outstanding presence among the new generation of central defenders in Italy. The 23-year-old is called the "New Nesta" by the Italian media. When he debuted in Rome, He left a very deep impression on people at that time. After going to Sampdoria, he became the leader among Serie A central defenders at a young age. At the age of 20, he was able to average 63 clearances per game, which is called abnormal. .

Moreover, he is also a rare tackle-type central defender among Italian central defenders, but he is not reckless and can often predict the opponent's ball direction and make anticipatory defenses. He can effectively block the opponent's passing line and complete high-speed passes. quality

Tackles, defense, etc.!

What Tong Yi values ​​the most is that Romagnoli's dominant foot is his left foot, and he is often even assigned to play as a left back. In today's world of football, excellent left-footed center backs are the top prize, very rare, and Romagnoli happens to be a left-footed center back.

Tong Yi needs a left-footed central defender to play the ball, and Romagnoli is not only a left-footed central defender, but also has good passing skills. His passing success rate can reach more than 83, and he also has an average per game Nearly 3 successful long pass transfers, which is very good.

This guy is also very mature and stable, and rarely handles the ball blindly.

This is an important trait for growing into an excellent central defender.

Therefore, Tong Yi is relatively optimistic about Romagnoli. Therefore, when the time comes, the three central defenders, Romagnoli on the left, Dias in the center, and Bonucci on the right, will be perfect.

At that time, Tong Yi will just find two good and outstanding young central defenders to serve as substitutes.

But now Tong Yi is really found.

Tong Yi directly asked Ignacio to return to England and go to South London. Of course he would know Crystal Palace.

There is also a very good young central defender in the Crystal Palace youth team. Tong Yi originally planned to promote him to the first team after Dias left and let him replace Dias. Unexpectedly, not only did Dias leave, but he also left the Crystal Palace!

Since there is no way to get him into the first team of Crystal Palace, then let's get him into the first team of Milan!

This guy is the talented center back Manuel Akanji discovered by Tong Yi from Switzerland!

Akanji is only half a year younger than Romagnoli. He had been in the Crystal Palace youth team before and was loaned out for the first two seasons and returned to Basel in Switzerland. Last season, he was loaned to Vieri's Brighton. At first, he was not the absolute main force of the team, but later he gradually became the main force of the team, and his performance was very good.

Moreover, Tong Yi is also optimistic about Akanji's future development. It is actually very good to bring him to Milan as a rotation substitute.

Even using him to replace Bonucci is possible.

Of course, Bonucci is still the main player now.

If three central defenders are played in the new season, it is obviously not enough to have only one substitute central defender on the bench. Crystal Palace must prepare at least two or three substitute central defenders on the bench, or even preferably three substitutes. Otherwise, if there are many injuries in the new season, Milan may not have a central defender available in the future.

To be on the safe side, we need to find three substitutes. Currently, one has been confirmed, and two more are still to be found!

Tong Yi already has a candidate in mind, and Kruger is now handling the matter. In a few days, these substitute central defenders will appear in Milan!
