Legendary Godfather

There are now six rounds left before the end of the first half of the 2012-2013 English Championship. Crystal Palace is currently 11 points ahead of second-placed Cardiff City. If Crystal Palace can win two more rounds, they will win the half-way championship of the English Championship four rounds ahead of schedule.

In the next 18th round of the league, Crystal Palace's opponent will be the once world-famous young guard Leeds United.

They were very fierce and powerful back then and produced a lot of super new stars who are still active in English football, such as Ferdinand.

However, Leeds United is no longer what it used to be.

Due to the financial crisis, they have been in low-level leagues all year round. After finally returning to the English Championship, they naturally yearn for the Premier League.

At the beginning of this season, Leeds United were full of ambitions, and their goal was the Premier League.

At that time, there were many more people who were optimistic about Leeds United than those who were optimistic about Crystal Palace.

But, what now?

Crystal Palace tops the list, while Leeds United are currently ranked 18th in the league with 20 points. They are 8 points behind Blackburn Rovers, who are sixth in the league. Although there is still no hope of reaching the Premier League, it still seems slim.

The gap between Leeds United and Crystal Palace is even greater, with a direct difference of 25 points.

This is really like heaven and earth.

Moreover, Leeds United has lost three consecutive games. In the last round of the game, they lost to Watford by a score of 1-6 at home.

Judging from Leeds United's current results and state, they have no way of threatening Crystal Palace.

For this reason, Tong Yi is full of confidence in this game.

Also, the last time Leeds United won was back in the 10th round of the English Championship this season. At that time, they defeated Barnsley 10 times at home. Since then, they have had 3 draws and 4 losses. It can be said that the condition is extremely bad.

How could such a team beat Crystal Palace?

Therefore, Tong Yi is still very relieved about this game.

Today, Tong Yi was in a very good mood after running in the morning. He came to the Beckenham training base. After a meeting with the coaching staff, he stood on the side of the training field as usual, quietly watching the players in the field. train.

Soon, Tong Yi discovered the problem.

Van Dijk is an anomaly in training.

After the training, Tong Yi called Van Dijk to his side again and said, "Do you remember what I told you?"

Van Dijk was stunned for a moment, then took the lead and said, "Remember!"

Tong Yi stared at Van Dijk and said, "Remember, what did you do? Why did you hesitate on the training ground just now? Why not firm up your own judgment, why not be more decisive?"

listen

At these words, Van Dijk lowered his head instantly, like a child who made a mistake.

Seeing Van Dijk like this, Tong Yi sighed and said, "I believe you are mentally aware of the mistakes you made, because the results of the training just now have confirmed this, right?"

Van Dijk nodded immediately and said "Yes!"

Indeed, he had already realized this during the training just now.

He made the right judgment in defense, but because he started making mistakes again recently, he hesitated a little. But the result of the hesitation was that he was confirmed by the actions of the offensive players that his judgment was correct.

It's a pity that he hesitated at that time!

He shouldn't have hesitated!

When Tong Yi saw Van Dijk's appearance, he naturally knew that Van Dijk realized his mistake.

He sighed and said, "It's the same sentence. You have to believe in your own judgment and be decisive and bold! You are not at the age where you are afraid of making mistakes. You are at the stage where you are not afraid of making mistakes. You are afraid that you will not make mistakes. Understand. ? Now is a critical moment for you to accumulate experience. You have to face more problems, think about problems, and solve problems, you know? "

Van Dijk thought about it carefully and felt that this was really the case.

At the beginning of the league, Van Dijk had many problems and many mistakes. Then he faced these problems head-on, and after thinking about them carefully, he came up with ways to solve the problems and avoid the same problems from happening again. He also used the method he thought of in subsequent games, and it was quite useful.

At that time, his sense of accomplishment was overwhelming.

He also likes the feeling of controlling the defensive zone.

Originally he believed in all this, and he performed well during that period and made a lot less mistakes. He thought he would never make mistakes again, but he didn't know that new problems had arisen recently and he started making mistakes again. He even doubted himself a little.

At this time, his head coach Tong Yi found him again, enlightened him and gave him confidence.

Van Dijk felt unprecedented attention and concern from Tong Yi.

Van Dijk was filled with gratitude.

His coach Tong Yi is really great and a person worth following!

No wonder, when his coach Tong Yi left Munich 1860, the players of Munich 1860 were so reluctant to leave. Many players even expressed their willingness to follow Tong Yi to the Crystal Palace.

It is a pity that Tong Yi has a big conflict with Munich 1860's top management Millsland. Millsland does not agree to sell the player to Crystal Palace. Otherwise, there should be many Mr. Tong Yi in Munich 1860 in the Crystal Palace now.

An old general, right?

Van Dijk was very grateful, nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely do what you say. I won't make the same mistake next time!"

Tong Yi nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction.

He said, "Okay, let's go and have a good rest. We have to train in the afternoon. I hope you won't make the same mistake again in the afternoon training!"

Van Dijk immediately patted his chest and promised, "Boss, don't worry, I will never do it again!"

Tong Yi believed in Van Dijk very much. He patted Van Dijk on the shoulder and asked him to rest.

Watching Van Dijk leave, Tong Yi also shook his head.

I really didn't expect that Van Dijk would be like this when he was young. It seems that he has really suffered a lot to grow into the world's first defender in the future, and he has worked very hard!

After seeing off Van Dijk, Tong Yi turned around and went to meet the members of the coaching staff.

He was going to discuss the game against Leeds United with members of the coaching staff.

Although Leeds United is not very strong, not in very good condition, and has not won for a long time, it seems unlikely to threaten their Crystal Palace. However, Tong Yi still gives the same attention and respect to everyone who comes to Leeds United.

Tong Yi really has no intention of looking down on Leeds United at all.

Tong Yi still takes it very seriously.

Tong Yi handed the information Schwartz collected about coming to Leeds United to the coaching staff, and they worked together to discuss how to deal with Leeds United.

To be honest, when they saw the information in their hands, Campbell and others really felt that it was very powerful!

This Schwartz is really a capable person!

The information in this hand is really completely different from the information they have seen on other teams before, because this information is really too detailed. There are written materials, picture materials, and video materials, and even analysis of the team's current situation, etc.

To be honest, collecting such information takes a lot of time, effort and energy.

Schwartz is really awesome!

To be honest, the fact that Crystal Palace, including the previous Munich 1860, can achieve such good results is inseparable from Schwartz and his team.

This once again made Campbell realize the importance of having a good data collection analyst on the coaching staff. They also reaffirmed their idea that if they have the opportunity to coach alone in the future, they also have a very good group of data collection analysts.

This is also what they learned and experienced from Tong Yi.

It is said that Nagelsmann is already doing these things now. However, it is said that Nagelsmann’s recent

The results were not very satisfactory, and the team's results were not very good either. I don’t know what went wrong on Nagelsmann’s side.

Campbell and others thought carefully that they had not contacted Nagelsmann for a while. To be honest, they all miss Nagelsmann a little bit.

However, there is no winter break in the English league, and they have not had time to go to Germany to have a chat with Nagelsmann recently. It seems that they have to wait until the end of this season to have a chat with Nagelsmann. , learn some details.

To be honest, Campbell Vieri and the others are also full of yearning for independent coaching. They all want to learn from Nagelsmann and prepare for their future careers.

Kruger read the information in his hand and said, "Boss, Leeds United's current state is actually a bit better, and it seems to have bottomed out. We still have to pay attention to this game!"

After hearing this, Tong Yi looked at the information in his hand carefully, and for a while he felt the same as Kruger.

It seems that after Leeds United lost 1-6 at home to Watford, their team really hit the bottom, and now it really seems to be rebounding.

Tong Yi nodded slightly and said, "That's true. In this game, we must go all out and concentrate! Don't worry, before the game, I will remind our players not to take it lightly. Leeds in this game The alliance is difficult to deal with."

Campbell and the others nodded, indicating that they understood.

Then, Tong Yi began to arrange the afternoon training content again. Of course, after the tasks are assigned, it is Campbell and Kruger's business to lead the team in training. Tong Yi stood on the sidelines and observed, to see how the players were doing?

Of course, Tong Yi also asked Pintus, "Antonio, it's already the end of the first half. How is the physical condition of our players? There will be no physical problems, right?"

Now Tong Yi is very concerned about this issue.

Pintus said, "Boss, don't worry. There won't be any problems with your physical fitness. As long as I'm here, don't worry!"

Hearing Pintus say this, he felt relieved.

Then he went to Wagner to learn about the physical fatigue and injuries of the players. The recovery made Tong Yi very satisfied and relieved.

Of course, what is even more gratifying is that this guy Van Dijk was much more decisive in the afternoon training, and he was a completely different person from the morning training. It can be seen that this guy Van Dijk really listened and was not trying to deal with him.

Tong Yi is very satisfied with Van Dijk's changes.

Of course, Tong Yi is also full of confidence in the upcoming game against Leeds United. He believes that Crystal Palace should be able to win the game!
