024: Crystal Palace’s second summer transfer pick

Van Persie was somewhat surprised when he received Tong Yi's call because he had never heard any rumors about Crystal Palace introducing him before.

This is so sudden!

He didn't think of it, and neither did the reporters from the media.

The concealment of Tong Yi's signing is really too strong.

To be honest, if Tong Yi had contacted me a month or two earlier, I might have agreed to Tong Yi's transfer to Crystal Palace.

Because he knows that Crystal Palace center Lukaku is on loan.

Lukaku performed so well last season, Chelsea will definitely not loan him to Crystal Palace again. What Crystal Palace now needs is a stable scorer. After he goes there, he will definitely be able to become the main force of Crystal Palace.

Therefore, Crystal Palace is also a good choice.

But things are different now.

Van Persie immediately said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Coach Tongyi! I may have betrayed your trust. I can't go to your Crystal Palace now."

Tong Yi secretly said that it was indeed the case, but still asked, "Why? Is it because of Coach Van Gaal?"

Van Persie secretly thought that Mr. Tong Yi was really smart, and then said, "Yes!"

Van Gaal is Dutch and naturally knows Van Persie very well.

More importantly, Van Gaal coached the Dutch national team in 2012. At that time, he had a very good relationship with Van Persie. In Van Gaal's national team, Van Persie was the first choice striker, allowing him to suppress Huntelaar.

Therefore, based on the relationship between these two people, it is not a surprise that Van Persie gave up the idea of ​​leaving Manchester United and stayed.

Tong Yi had expected it.

Therefore, Tong Yi's rejection of Van Persie was also expected.

Naturally, Tong Yi had no choice but to give up on Van Persie.

After exchanging pleasantries with Van Persie, Tong Yi hung up the phone.

Robin van Persie is going nowhere, so Tong Yi will go all out to win Fernando Torres.

Torres now has no place at Chelsea, and Mourinho is said to have made it clear to Torres face to face. There is no place for him in Chelsea in the new season. If Torres wants to go to another team, he will try his best to be satisfied.

And now Torres still has a two-year contract with Chelsea.

At this time, Chelsea wanted to sell Torres, but not many clubs were willing to take over Torres, whose star had dimmed.

In Tong Yi's memory of his previous life, Torres was directly loaned to AC Milan by Chelsea this summer.

Torres played 10 times in half a season and scored only 1 goal.

Then just when everyone thought AC Milan would return the goods, they announced on December 28, 2014

In the early hours of the morning, Torres was bought out for 3 million euros. Then on the afternoon of December 29, 2014, Torres was loaned to Atletico Madrid. A year and a half later, Torres moved to Atletico Madrid on a free transfer.

This transaction seems to be completely taken advantage of by AC Milan. It is equivalent to spending 3 million euros to buy Torres for Atletico Madrid. They did not use it for a day and gave it to Atletico Madrid for free.

In fact, many people believe that it was Atletico Madrid who spent 3 million euros to buy Torres, and they just borrowed the hand of AC Milan. Because everyone knows how important and sentimental Torres is to Atletico Madrid. If Atletico Madrid goes directly to Chelsea to introduce Torres, they will definitely be ripped off.

But not through the hands of AC Milan!

Therefore, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan came to sneak past Chen Cang.

AC Milan naturally received a promise from Atletico Madrid and received a favor from Atletico Madrid.

Why not do it.

Therefore, Tong Yi understands that buying out Torres's next two-year contract at this time is only 3 million euros, which is quite cheap and appropriate.

The reason why Torres performed so poorly in the half season he joined AC Milan, only scoring 1 goal in half the season, has a lot to do with his injuries.

It is no secret that Torres endured the injury and played in the World Series behind closed doors.

Anyone with a little bit of care can discover it.

This happened before in the 2008 European Cup and the 2010 World Cup.

Especially before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Torres suffered a serious knee injury. He hurriedly recuperated for 4 months and went to South Africa under the pretext of isolation before fully recovering from the injury. Everyone saw Torres' injuries and tears in that tournament. Fortunately, everything was worth it, and Spain finally won the World Cup.

This time, Torres also endured injuries and went to Brazil.

Even though Spain was eliminated from the group, it didn't seem to affect Torres' injury too much. In fact, the impact is quite large. On the one hand, his injuries are old, and secondly, because he is older, injuries are prone to recurrence.

During this half of the season in Milan, Torres' injuries have been good and bad.

So, his performance was not very good.

In his first season back at Atletico Madrid, his performance was not very good.

But in the second season after returning to Atletico Madrid, his performance was very good, and he came on as a substitute after many deaths.

, but they were able to deliver very exciting performances. In the last two seasons at Atletico Madrid, he scored in double figures, and many of the goals were crucial. He even won consecutive runner-up and semi-finals in the Champions League with the team.

Therefore, in Tong Yi's view, if Torres recovers from his injuries during this period, his combat power will still be very good.

Tong Yi is thinking about introducing Torres to the Crystal Palace this summer. Then, directly throw Torres to Wagner's medical team and let them treat Torres' injury properly so that they can get healthy as soon as possible.

Torres didn't even have to play in the first half of the season. He waited until his injury was completely healed before playing for Crystal Palace. ??

Then Torres will definitely perform well in the second half of the season.

Moreover, Tong Yi also believes that Torres does not want to leave English football in such a dejected manner.

Therefore, it should not be difficult to introduce Torres.

Therefore, Tong Yi went directly to the hotel where he was staying in Spain and found Torres.

To be honest, it didn't take Tong Yi much effort to persuade Torres.

Indeed, as Tong Yi thought, Torres really didn't want to leave English football in such a dejected manner. This experience at Chelsea still had a great impact on him. He still wants to prove that he, Torres, can still play in the Premier League.

When Tong Yi faced Torres, he said bluntly, "I know you are playing a closed game now. You came to this World Cup with injuries. This actually has a great impact on your health. Of course, I am not here to persuade you. Give up on this World Cup."

Torres just stared at Tong Yi, feeling very surprised.

How did Tong Yi know?

Because there are really not many people who know this.

Tong Yi said, "The reason why I am telling you this is to tell you! After you join our Crystal Palace this summer, don't worry about playing for our Crystal Palace. I will first hand you over to our club's medical team and let them After your injury is completely cured, you can play for our club in the second half of the season. You must be mentally prepared!"

Torres was a little shocked, not expecting that Tong Yi would make such an arrangement for him.

To be honest, he finally felt that Tong Yi valued him.

Otherwise, Tong Yi would not spend so much thought on him.

And he is not young anymore. Tong Yi is still willing to wait for him for so long and raise him for so long. He really thinks highly of him.

Torres was a little moved.

Torres asked, "Wouldn't Crystal Palace suffer a big loss? Why did you do this to me?"

Tong Yi said calmly, "

Because I like you! "

A simple sentence made Torres feel unprecedented trust.

Even when his performance at Chelsea was so poor, Tong Yi still believed in himself unconditionally. Torres was really moved by Tong Yi's sincerity.

But he still said, "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but what I want to say is, aren't you afraid that all your efforts will be in vain? Even if I recover from my injury, I may not be able to return to my previous state! You don't have to Would you like to consider it?"

Tong Yi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm optimistic about you, and I believe in you! You don't have to think so much, you just need to cooperate with the treatment and recovery, and then stay confident! A striker can't be without confidence!"

Torres was really touched and grateful for Tong Yi's attention.

Torres took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your consideration, I will! I will try not to disappoint you!"

Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "I believe you won't let me down!"

Torres' heart was hit again. He took a deep breath and said, "What do you need me to do for you? I mean transfer?"

Tong Yi smiled and said, "No need for anything. Just leave the transfer matter to our club. We will solve it at Chelsea. Just wait for the good news!"

Torres really felt Tong Yi's all-round respect for him.

He was grateful.

However, at this time, Tong Yi said, "I have to say something in advance. The salary structures of our Crystal Palace and Chelsea are very different. If you come to our Crystal Palace, I'm afraid... you will have to take a salary cut!"

Torres smiled freely and said, "This is not a problem, even if it is reduced by half or two-thirds, I have no problem!"

After hearing what Torres said, there will be no problem for Crystal Palace to introduce Torres.

Tong Yi was very happy and extended his right hand directly to Torres and said, "The faster we cooperate!"

Torres also smiled and extended his right hand, "Happy cooperation!"

After reaching an agreement with Torres, Tong Yi directly asked Campbell in England to make an offer to Chelsea for 2 million euros. Buy Torres.

Although Campbell felt a little surprised, he still complied.

After Chelsea asked Torres what he thought, they directly agreed to Crystal Palace's offer.

The next day, the official websites of Crystal Palace and Chelsea updated the news almost at the same time. Chelsea's Spanish forward Fernando Torres officially transferred to Crystal Palace.

This is also Crystal Palace’s second pick of the season.

At the same time, Nagelsmann was also sent to Germany by Tong Yi to try to complete Crystal Palace's third signing this summer.
