Legendary Godfather

Beckenham training base, head coach's office, Croydon, London, England.

Tong Yi sat in his seat and looked at the fat man with round face and glasses in front of him.

He really didn't expect that Raiola would come back to him again.

Sitting next to Raiola is Pogba!

Yes, just when Tong Yi had completely given up on Pogba, Raiola actually came back with Pogba to find him.

Tong Yi doesn't know what accident happened here?

What were the reasons why Raiola and Pogba gave up going to Juventus and chose to come to their Crystal Palace in the British Championship.

Tong Yi really didn't understand.

However, Tong Yi had no intention of asking.

It’s so rare to be confused!

Tong Yi did not look at Raiola, but looked at Pogba and asked, "Are you sure?"

Pogba looked at Raiola, and then said firmly, "I'm sure, I am willing to join Crystal Palace and play under you. However, is your previous guarantee still valid?"

Tong Yi raised his eyebrows, "What guarantee?"

Raiola and Pogba felt a bit in their hearts and secretly thought it was not good. No way, this guy Tong Yi actually broke his promise and took advantage of the fire?

Pogba was a little anxious and blurted out, "You said that as long as there is no problem with my condition, I will be the main starter of Crystal Palace. I will have no shortage of game opportunities with you."

After saying that, Pogba stared at Tong Yi with bright eyes.

Tong Yi chuckled and said, "That's what you said, of course it works! When you come to our Crystal Palace, as long as there is no problem with your condition and mentality, you will be the main starter of our Crystal Palace."

Tong Yi still dares to guarantee this.

Now Pogba's strength is still very strong, and he is completely at the level of the main force of the top league giants. Now his strength has reached 163, which is the level of the main force of the giants. And in Tong Yi's memory, Pogba joined Juventus next season, played 35 games with Juventus and scored 5 goals, and was judged for the European Golden Boy Award next year.

Therefore, with Pogba's strength, Crystal Palace is the main force.

Pogba was relieved when he heard this. He was really afraid that Tong Yi would regret it. If Tong Yi regrets it, he will really be doomed. Because he has already rejected Juventus there, if Tong Yi continues to be bad, Pogba will be passive.

Raiola was also relieved.

However, at this time Tong Yi said, "But there is a prerequisite!"

Pogba and Raiola both looked up at Tong Yi. What's the premise?

Tong Yi said, "I believe you have also understood my tactics in Munich 1860."

Pogba and Raiola both nodded, expressing their understanding.

Tong Yi said, "My tactics are high-intensity high pressure, so on the court I want to see you run, increase your running distance and defensive enthusiasm. If you can't do this, I think my There is no place for you in the team."

call!

Both Pogba and Raiola breathed a sigh of relief.

The bill was based on this premise. They thought it was some premise that they could not afford to be too old. They were really shocked.

Pogba immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tong Yi, I will definitely be able to do it and I won't let you down!"

Hearing this, Tong Yi was satisfied.

Raiola also saw that Tong Yi was really optimistic about Pogba, otherwise he would not have such detailed talks with Pogba and have so many requirements.

According to Raiola, it is appropriate for Pogba to join Crystal Palace.

He should appear next.

Raiola immediately said, "Coach David, should we talk about Paul's salary next?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Yi raised his eyebrows.

Raiola is a guy who attaches great importance to interests and money. This is not easy to talk about.

Of course, Tong Yi also knew very well at this time that he could not use Van Dijk's salary level to trap Pogba. Pogba's current weekly salary at Manchester United is more than 10,000 pounds. Moreover, the contract extension between Pogba and Manchester United was because you did not discuss salary and playing time, which led to Pogba leaving on a free transfer.

So at this time, Pogba comes to Crystal Palace on a free transfer and Crystal Palace is not allowed to spend a penny on the transfer market. Does Tong Yi have to meet Pogba's requirements in terms of weekly salary?

Obviously, after Pogba comes to Crystal Palace, he will definitely get the maximum salary.

Now I am afraid that the maximum salary of Crystal Palace will not be able to satisfy the appetite of Pogba and Raiola.

After all, Pogba's weekly salary is now more than 10,000 pounds.

Tong Yi's current maximum salary for Crystal Palace is actually only a little bit to the right of 10,000 pounds.

However, in Tong Yi's memory, when Pogba went to Juventus on a free transfer, the annual salary he and Juventus agreed upon was 1.2 million euros. In 2014, the contract was renewed and increased to Juventus' maximum salary of 4.5 million euros. EUR.

In other words, Pogba's salary bottom line should now be 1.2 million euros, which is equivalent to 10.56 million pounds in pounds, which is equivalent to 2 pounds in weekly salary.

Manchester United has not agreed to give Pogba such a large weekly salary.

Of course, the more important thing is that Manchester United has not promised to give Pogba a stable chance to play. After all, they would rather believe in Scholes, who has been away for more than half a year, than give him a chance to Pogba.

So, Pogba chose to leave.

To be honest, a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds is not much for Pogba now. This is what he should get.

But this is obviously far beyond the current maximum salary level of Crystal Palace. You have to know that Van Dijk, who is regarded by Tong Yi as the core of Crystal Palace's defense for the next ten years, has only offered a weekly salary of 8,000 pounds. You Is it suddenly necessary to give Pogbaka a chance?

Can players like Van Dijk agree to a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds?

Tong Yi looked at Pogba and asked, "If you have any requirements for your salary, you can put it forward."

Pogba glanced at Raiola and was about to speak. Raiola immediately stopped him, and then Raiola said, "Leave professional matters to me, a professional!"

Tong Yi nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

Raiola did not directly quote a price. He said, "You know, the reason why Paul left Manchester United is that Manchester United did not satisfy us in terms of salary. You also know that Paul's weekly salary at Manchester United was also the same. Around £10,000..."

Tong Yi immediately waved his hand, interrupted Raiola's long speech, and said directly, "You just said the numbers directly, right? Be simple and direct!"

Raiola clapped his hands excitedly and said, "It's so happy! Coach David is such a happy person! I like to be with you the most..."

Raiola was interrupted by Tong Yi before he finished speaking, "Tell me the numbers!"

Raiola didn't feel embarrassed at all. He just smiled and said directly, "Salary of 25 pounds per week, goal prize..."

Tong Yi interrupted Raiola rudely again and said, "If you are so insincere, I think there is no need for us to continue talking!"

This guy Raiola is like a lion talking loudly. Are you kidding me?

The weekly salary of 250,000 pounds is almost catching up with the salary level of the main players of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

You have to know that Pogba is only 20 years old and has only played a few professional league games. You want a weekly salary of 25 pounds?

What about dreaming?

Seeing that Tong Yi stood up to see off the guests, Raiola immediately stood up and said respectfully, "No, no, no! Let's talk, let's talk. If you think this salary is unreasonable, you can raise it, you raise one number."

Tong Yi didn't really mean to lift the table and leave, he was just putting pressure on Raiola and the others to express his attitude.

Tong Yi sat down again, looked at Raiola and said, "Quote another number to show me your sincerity. If the price is still such an outrageous one, then forget about our deal!"

Raiola immediately said that he couldn't forget it, and he definitely couldn't forget the deal.

Raiola looked at Tong Yi, pondered for a while, and then reported their psychological bottom line: "Coach David, what do you think of 20,000 pounds..."

Sure enough, the salary was similar to what Tong Yi remembered.

However, Tong Yi still couldn't agree.

Because the current top players in Crystal Palace are not able to reach this level, although Tong Yi thinks Raiola's request is very reasonable, he cannot agree to it.

Upon hearing this number, Tong Yi rolled his eyes and stood up immediately.

Seeing Tong Yi's action, Raiola frowned. Is this outrageous?

Too late

How similar, Raiola immediately said, "How about 180,000 pounds? Coach David, this salary is already our bottom line. You have to know that Manchester United..."

It’s down!

Raiola and Pogba actually reduced their salaries!

Tong Yi was still very happy. He also saw that Pogba really wanted to join Crystal Palace.

Tong Yi was very satisfied and a little excited.

However, he still couldn't accept this weekly salary!

However, at this time, Tong Yi slowly sat back.

Raiola and Pogba breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Tong Yi's move. It seems that joining the Crystal Palace has been secured.

Tong Yi looked at Raiola and the others, and then said tangledly, "To be honest, I also know that you have made a lot of concessions in offering the current salary. This also moved me very much, and I also saw your Sincerity. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t make any more demands or worry about it anymore!”

Raiola and Pogba were stunned again. You still don’t accept this salary?

Tong Yi, you look down on our Pogba too much!

To be honest, Pogba is also a little angry at this time!

He felt that Tong Yi looked down upon him a little too much.

Tong Yi said, "If our Crystal Palace were in the Premier League, I would definitely be willing to give you this weekly salary, even 20,000 pounds. But now our Crystal Palace is in the English Championship, and our Crystal Palace's maximum salary is only 10,000 pounds." I can't break the current salary balance just for you."

Pogba and the others somewhat understood Tong Yi, but they were still dissatisfied.

Raiola immediately said, "Coach David, the weekly salary of 180,000 pounds is already our bottom line. If you don't agree, then we are only very sorry!"

Pogba does want to go to Crystal Palace, but if the salary is lower than this, he feels that the team disrespects and values ​​him.

Both of them stared at Tong Yi closely.

Tong Yi was also very entangled at this time. To be honest, he really wanted to introduce Pogba, but 180,000 pounds would still break the current salary level of their Crystal Palace. You have to know that Van Dijk's weekly salary is only 8,000 pounds, which is only a fraction of Pogba's.

Do you think other players will calm down when they find out?

Tong Yi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Our current maximum salary at Crystal Palace is 120,000 pounds a week, but I also know that this salary will definitely not match Paul's salary. I can offer Paul a weekly salary of 15 pounds, and then You can give a little more to the goal award and assist award as appropriate to make up for the difference. And after promotion next year, I will offer Paul a new contract with a weekly salary of no less than 250,000 pounds. What do you think...?"

Raiola and Pogba discussed it carefully for a while before reluctantly agreeing to the conditions proposed by Tong Yi.

Pogba signed a 2+1 contract with Crystal Palace for a total of 3 years. If Crystal Palace cannot be promoted to the Premier League within 2 years, Crystal Palace cannot prevent Pogba from transferring and leaving, with a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds.
