Legendary godfather of green grass

Groningen, the northernmost city in the Netherlands, was originally an agricultural area, surrounded by forests, oceans, pastures, islands and green spaces.Now it is the revival of political economy, culture, trade and industry in the north of the Netherlands, where the scenery is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, and the transportation is convenient.

There are two fishing ports and two seaports in the city, and the shipping and land transportation are well developed.

With a population of 23, half of the population is under the age of 35. It is a vibrant city.

The architectural style here is full of Dutch characteristics. The colorful buildings such as red, blue, yellow, gray and white are like being in a fairy tale world.

In a coffee shop near the port, there are not many customers, but it looks uniquely elegant and quiet.

Looking at the colorful houses reflected on the blue water outside the window, it really gives people an extremely dreamy feeling.

The scenery here is really beautiful.

Tong Yi is so beautiful that he wants to live here forever.

Yes, Tong Yi left England and came to the Netherlands after handing over the affairs of the club to Campbell and Pintus.

Sitting opposite Tong Yi, Vieri stirred the steaming coffee in front of him with a spoon, stared at Tong Yi in front of him, his mind was full of doubts.

Why did Tong Yi come to Groningen?

Is Groningen on the verge of another generation of talent from Ronald Koeman, Arjen Robben and Luis Suarez?

Yes, don't underestimate Groningen.

Although the football club Groningen has only been established for more than 40 years, and it is also an unknown small team in the Netherlands, it has no outstanding results in the Eredivisie League. Their few honors have won the Dutch Bundesliga twice. The league championship, and the closest one to now is also going back to the 1979-1980 season.

But such a small club is also home to several outstanding super talents in Micro World Football.

Ronald Koeman, Robben and Suarez all came from here. Now Robben and Suarez are well-known figures in world football, especially Robben.Robben is now the king of the Bundesliga and the absolute core of Bayern Munich.

This shows that Groningen's youth training is still very good.

And Vieri also knows Tong Yi very well. Now is the busiest time for the club. If there is nothing wrong, Tong Yi will definitely not come here for a holiday.Reminiscent of when he came out, Tong Yi said he was here to sign up, and Vieri guessed that there must be some genius in Groningen?

But why hasn't he heard of it?

Is the genius out this time a winger like Robben?The Netherlands seem to be good at cultivating this type of top winger.If this is the case, then their Crystal Palace Football Club has made money this time.

After admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window for a while, Tong Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at Vieri on the opposite side. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said, "If you have any questions, just ask, don't keep it in your heart!"

That's what Vieri was waiting for.

He was suffocated by thirst all the way.

Vieri immediately guarded against the spoon in his hand, leaned forward, and asked: "Boss, is there another genius emerging in Groningen? Is it a winger like Robben?"

After speaking, Vieri stared at Tong Yi closely.

Seriously, Vieri is very much looking forward to this.

Because the person sitting opposite him is not an ordinary person, it is Tong Yi, the Tong Yi who has discovered countless new stars in three years and has never made a mistake.As long as Tong Yi takes a fancy to it, it is definitely a genius.

Tong Yi ran over from a long distance, and paid so much attention to it, which shows that the genius Tong Yi discovered this time is really great.

Vieri is naturally full of expectations.

Tong Yi nodded and shook his head slightly.

Vieri was full of doubts, nodding and shaking his head, what does this mean?

This shows that Vieri is the second monk who can't figure it out.

Tong Yi smiled slightly and said: "Groningen does have a genius now, a top genius! But, it's not a genius like Robben like you said!"

Vieri was shocked!

Top talent?

Even Tong Yi used this word to evaluate this guy, which means that this guy is really good.

In the past work contact with Tong Yi, Tong Yi really hated to use such words to describe a person.The last time Tong Yi used this time to describe a person, it seems to be De Bruyne.

Is this newcomer a genius at De Bruyne's level?

If that's the case, that's amazing!

Vieri really wanted to meet the genius Tong Yikou was talking about.

Vieri immediately asked: "The boss thinks so much about this genius, so I really want to meet this guy right away. Boss, what position does he play?"

Tong Yi was about to speak when suddenly a tall young man followed a middle-aged man into the coffee shop.

Seeing these two people, Tong Yi's eyes lit up.

Seeing the light in Tong Yi's eyes, Vieri realized something, and immediately turned his head to look.

Immediately, Vieri was attracted by the tall man with a Chinese character face and a resolute face. This guy looks very strong and his body is also very strong.But looking at that somewhat mature face, Vieri didn't feel that this was the young genius Tong Yi was talking about.Perhaps, Tong Yi was attracted by his figure!

Unexpectedly, Tong Yi stood up suddenly, raised his hand and said, "Virgil, here!"

The big man with a square face who walked in first came over immediately, and beside him was a middle-aged man in a gray suit with a briefcase between his sides.

When the two came to Tong Yi, the middle-aged man immediately stretched out his hands to hold Tong Yi's right hand, stared at Tong Yi excitedly, and said, "I'm very glad to see you, Mr. Tong! I'm Virgil." agent Vincent Mechelen Janssen."

Vieri was shocked. He looked up at the tall man with a square face, and thought to himself, "This guy is what the boss calls a top-notch young genius? But this guy doesn't look young either!"

Tong Yi held Yang Sen's right hand and said, "I'm glad to meet you too, Mr. Yang Sen. And you, Virgil!"

The tall man with a Chinese character face behind Yang Sen stretched out his right hand to Tong Yi excitedly, held Tong Yi's right hand tremblingly, and said, "I'm glad to see you, sir, I'm Virgil Van Dijk!"

That's right, the big man with a Chinese face who looks a little mature in front of him is the Shiyiwei Van Dijk of the later generations!

Now Van Dijk is still playing for Groningen. He only came to Groningen from the William II youth training camp in 2010. He entered the first team at the end of the 2010-2011 season. He only played 5 games throughout the season. The regular rotation of the Groningen club asked for help, and played 24 games in the Eredivisie League throughout the season and scored 3 goals.

Tong Yi also knows that he will become Groningen's main central defender in the season that will start immediately. He played 34 league games throughout the season, and also played 3 times in the cup. He played a total of 37 games and scored 2 goals.

Then he will be favored by the Celtics, the giants of the Soviet Super League, and then sold for 300 million euros, becoming the main central defender of the Celtics in the Soviet Super League.

Therefore, the current strength of Van Dijk is actually very good. There is no problem in going to Crystal Palace to play as the main central defender in the British Championship.And this guy will improve rapidly, and he will definitely be the legendary central defender of the Crystal Palace Club in the future.

It is obvious that Tong Yi came all the way to Groningen for Van Dijk.

And before coming, Tong Yi had discussed with the Crystal Palace Club and Groningen, and the Groningen Club agreed to the Crystal Palace Club's offer of 200 million euros.

Therefore, Tong Yi will directly meet with Van Dijk and his agent now.

From the current point of view, Van Dijk and his agent should also know that Groningen has accepted the offer from Crystal Palace.

At this time, both Van Dijk and Yang Sen seemed very excited.

After all, Tong Yi is still very well-known in world football.Especially in terms of discovering young players, it can be said that Van Dijk can be seen by Tong Yi now, which shows that Van Dijk's future is limitless.

Moreover, Tong Yi is also a head coach who is good at and boldly employing newcomers.

Young players can get a lot of opportunities to play under Tong Yi, and now Tong Yi can come all the way to handle the introduction of Van Dijk in person, which shows that Tong Yi attaches great importance to Van Dijk, so Van Dijk went to Tong Yi The team definitely has no shortage of opportunities to compete.

This is why Van Dijk and Yang Sen are excited.

Yes, it took Tong Yi only three years to establish his "Top Bole" signboard, which is really attractive to those young players!

The current Van Dijk is the best proof.

Tong Yi motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.

In fact, seeing the attitudes of Yang Sen and Van Dijk, Tong Yi knew that there was no major problem in this negotiation.

Sure enough, after entering the negotiation, Tong Yi and the others occupied an absolute dominant position.

Yang Sen and Van Dijk basically nodded and agreed to Tong Yi's conditions, and only a few places Yang Sen and the others would put forward their opinions.However, these are all within the acceptable range, and Tong Yi also fully agrees to the other party's request.

Sure enough, this kind of two-way rush is the most perfect and the most trouble-free.

In the end, Tong Yi signed a 2+3 five-year long-term contract with Van Dijk.

If Crystal Palace is promoted to the Premier League within 2 years, the contract between Van Dijk and Crystal Palace will be automatically extended to 5 years.If Crystal Palace does not upgrade to the Premier League within 2 years, Van Dijk has the right to propose a transfer to leave Crystal Palace.

To this, Tong Yi has no objection.

Tong Yi is very confident in himself, and within two years he will be able to lead Crystal Palace to the Premier League.Therefore, in Tong Yi's view, in fact, their contract with Crystal Palace and Van Dijk is a five-year contract.

Then, Van Dijk's annual salary is not very high.

Now the average annual salary in the Premier League is around 230 million pounds, which translates into a weekly salary of around 4.4 pounds.Of course, players from wealthy clubs take up the bulk. For example, there are many players in rich clubs like Manchester City with a weekly salary of more than 20 pounds. The maximum salary of Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea is about 15 pounds. The maximum salary is around £10.

Calculated, the maximum salary of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League should be 4 to 5 pounds. There are few players with a weekly salary of [-] to [-] pounds. The weekly salary of the main players should be around [-] to [-] pounds.

The average salary in the English Championship is around 46.8 pounds, and the average weekly salary is 9000 pounds.

In the British Championship team, there are also players with a weekly salary of [-] to [-] pounds, but they hate less.

Tong Yi offered Van Dijk a weekly salary of 8000 pounds, equivalent to an annual salary of around 42 pounds.

For a 21-year-old young man, this salary is already very high.This is much higher than he was in Groningen in the Eredivisie. Van Dijk is naturally very satisfied, and Yang Sen is also very satisfied.

You have to know that the average weekly salary in League Two is only 1000 pounds, and the average weekly salary in League One is only about 4000 pounds.

Van Dijk was very satisfied and directly signed his name in the contract.

Even when he saw the 6000 million pounds written on the liquidated damages, he didn't hesitate at all.

Seeing Van Dijk sign his name on the contract, Tong Yi was also very happy, he made a lot of money.Signing Van Dijk, Crystal Palace will not have to worry about central defenders in the next ten years!
