Legendary Godfather

Ignacio returned to England. After handling the matters Tong Yi told him, he planned to accompany his confidante Lilian and Adriana, and then fly to Milan to prepare for the new season.

But on the third day, he received an invitation from McCarthy to go to the Huadu Yida Youth Training Camp to participate in a small player selection event!

This event is considered a regular and well-known event in the Crystal Palace.

In fact, before Tong Yi came to Crystal Palace, the Crystal Palace youth training camp would hold one or two large-scale young player selection activities every year. Those who were successfully selected would enter the Crystal Palace youth training camp and then enter the football team. Team echelon.

This is also the reason why the Crystal Palace Youth Academy is more famous.

And before Tong Yi came to Crystal Palace, the Crystal Palace youth academy had some reputation in England, and it also produced many famous players, such as Zaha, Wan-Bissaka and others!

After Tong Yi came to Crystal Palace, the Crystal Palace youth academy became even more famous. Many young talents emerged among them, such as Haaland, Lautaro, and Bellin who have just transferred to AC Milan. People like Doom and Joan Armene all came out of this youth academy.

Nowadays, there are many other scouts who often wander outside the Huadu Yida Youth Training Base in Crystal Palace, looking for opportunities to poach. Moreover, large-scale selections held once or twice a year or two like now will attract the attention of a lot of scouts. Now I don't know how many spies sent by other teams are lurking outside the field.

Of course, when Tong Yi was here, the reputation of the Crystal Palace Youth Academy was very great. .??.??

After all, Tong Yi is a world-renowned top talent, and all the young people discovered by Tong Yi have become talents. So those little guys who want to become famous overnight all want to be recognized by Tong Yi, and the parents of those little players also hope that their children can be favored by Tong Yi.

Therefore, the selection day for the Crystal Palace Youth Academy is very popular every year.

Huadu·Yida Youth Training Base will be filled with people at this time, and outstanding children from all over the world will gather here to participate in this selection!

Of course, there are also many local children, and they can be said to be close to the water.

Although the Crystal Palace has undergone great changes this summer, Tong Yi, the signature of the Crystal Palace youth training camp, is no longer there. However, most people still have no doubts about the success and excellence of Crystal Palace's youth academy. Moreover, they all know that the owner of Crystal Palace is the wife of Tong Yi's godfather. How could Tong Yi not interfere at all?

Therefore, even after knowing that Tong Yi had left Crystal Palace, there were still many children who came to the Crystal Palace Youth Training Camp for selection! And there are many youth training players from other clubs coming, and they all want to leap over the dragon gate.

Ignacio also participated in such an event last year, when he was also a member of the youth team coach.

This time McCarthy invited him, but he was a little confused.

After all, he is no longer Crystal Palace Qing

He was a member of the senior team, and now he is a member of the AC Milan coaching staff.

In the new season, he will slowly learn how to become an excellent head coach with Tong Yi, just like Yuan Zhen, the current head coach of the China Men's Football Team.

To be honest, Ignacio is actually quite envious when he sees Yuan Zhen leading the team to compete in the World Cup.

Of course, this also gave him confidence in his future.

You have to know that there are quite a few head coaches who have passed away from Godfather Tong Yi.

It is impossible to say that a considerable number of coaches in world football in the future will be Tong Yi's disciples.

Seeing that Ignacio wanted to refuse, McCarthy immediately said, "You can't refuse, you are the legend of our Crystal Palace, the legendary striker! Many of these little guys are your fans!"

Hearing this, Ignacio was slightly startled.

He felt that what McCarthy said was really far away from him. He had almost forgotten that he was also a professional player!

Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I am not a Crystal Palace legend. I have only played here for one or two seasons!"

When he said this, Ignacio looked obviously lonely.

Seeing this, McCarthy also shook his head slightly. He felt even more sorry for Ignacio now.

If there are no accidents, the man in front of him will definitely become a legend of Crystal Palace, a legend of English football, and even the top center in the world.

What a pity, God is jealous of talents!

Looking at Ignacio in front of him, McCarthy suddenly felt that his career was quite complete.

Compared to Ignacio, he is really lucky.

When he thought of this, McCarthy stepped forward and patted Ignacio on the shoulder. Then he said, "Let's go, this event can't be without you. I have publicized your name a long time ago. If you don't go, won't it be false propaganda? How will I give these little guys and parents Do they explain?"

After saying that, without waiting for Ignacio to respond, McCarthy headed towards the youth training venue.

Looking at McCarthy walking away, Ignacio smiled bitterly. He was a bit too hasty.

However, he followed quickly.

Seeing Ignacio following up, McCarthy's lips raised slightly!

When they arrived at the youth training venue, it was already packed with people. The coaches and staff of the Crystal Palace youth team were already making some preparations. The selection for the Crystal Palace youth training camp should start soon. .

see the scene

Ignacio was also proud of the scene.

He knew very well that there were many little guys here who came for his current teacher, Godfather Tong Yi.

His teacher’s reputation is really too big and loud!

At this time, the children at the scene saw the arrival of McCarthy and Ignacio. Suddenly some children shouted excitedly, "Ignacio, it's Ignacio!"

These voices are exciting and exciting, as if they are meeting their idols!

Some little guys jumped up and down and screamed, their voices breaking, "Ignacio, I am your fan! I like you so much, I am your idol..."

These little guys were so excited that they couldn’t even speak clearly!

And some of the local children were even more excited. If there were not coaches nearby, they might have rushed over, hugged Ignacio and asked for autographs.

Seeing such a scene, Ignacio was stunned.

He didn't expect that after so many years of serious injury and being out of the mainstream attention, he could still be so popular and see such a scene. He was a bit unexpected!

McCarthy turned to look at Ignacio with a smile.

Seeing these excited children, Ignacio immediately waved and greeted these little guys.

Ignacio also saw his own shadow in these little guys.

Back then, he was just like these little guys. He frequently participated in the selection and recruitment of youth training camps of major clubs, but he was almost always the one who failed. It wasn't until he came to the Crystal Palace and met Godfather Tong Yi that his playing career and even his entire life changed drastically.

The way these little guys chase their dreams is really exactly the same as he used to.

Ignacio also cheers for these little guys!

These little guys became even more excited and enthusiastic after receiving Ignacio's response. At this time, many local kids even shouted excitedly, "Ignacio, we love you, we will love you forever! You are the legend of our Crystal Palace, you are the living legend of our Crystal Palace!" "

With a bang, it was like a mushroom cloud exploded in Ignacio's mind.

This made him freeze on the spot for an instant!

To be honest, he never thought that he would encounter such a scene, and he never thought that he could get such a high evaluation. In his opinion, he is just a passer-by in the history of Crystal Palace Football Club. A grain of sand should not be able to make any big waves.

But these little guys actually called him the legend of the Crystal Palace, and he was a little shocked.

Do all Crystal Palace fans think so?

These little guys didn't know that Ignacio was so turbulent in his heart at this time. They were still shouting excitedly, shouting that Ignacio was the legend of the Crystal Palace.

And not only these little guys think so, but the local parents and fans of the Crystal Palace at the scene also think so. They all echoed these guys, gave Ignacio a thumbs up, and claimed that Ignacio is The legend of Crystal Palace!

Because they know what Ignacio paid for Crystal Palace?

Ignacio dedicated his entire career for Crystal Palace to win the Champions League title!

Ignacio is the hero of their club, a legend!

Ignacio is an integral part of Crystal Palace, the most glorious and legendary part.

Hearing these shouts, Ignacio's eyes became a little wet.

Ignacio is really grateful for the enthusiastic support from these fans and children, but he still feels that he is being praised a bit too high. But these people could remember him, and he was very satisfied. The only regret is that I can't fight for Crystal Palace for longer.

On this day, Ignacio was very involved and active in the youth training camp selection. He seemed to have suddenly found the feeling he had when he first came to Crystal Palace. The impulse and motivation for professional football in his heart came back instantly, and he suddenly felt as if he was several years younger again!

Perhaps it wasn't that he was several years younger, but that the previous major changes had made him much older and more depressed.

Now he just got his younger self back!

Seeing the change in Ignacio, McCarthy also breathed a sigh of relief and put a smile on his lips.

He was actually very aware of Ignacio's changes because he had witnessed the entire process. After recovering from a serious injury, although Ignacio has never been depressed, he is obviously very angry and does not think about a young man at all. After all, he is only 22 years old now, and he does look like an old man.

McCarthy and the others actually feel quite distressed when they see him.

Now seeing Ignacio gradually regaining his younger self, he is also happy for Ignacio.

It seems that his invitation to Ignacio this time was really not in vain!

There are still many people shouting loudly, "Ignacio, no matter where you go, you will always be a living legend of our Crystal Palace Football Club! We will always support you, come on!"

Ignacio was very moved and shook his fist at these people, saying that he would definitely work hard!

At the end of today's event, more Crystal Palace fans gathered outside the training ground. They also shouted neatly at Ignacio who was about to leave, "Ignacio, you are the living legend of our Crystal Palace. Come on, we will always support you!"
