40. Chapter 40

Boas stayed in the cafΓ© with Yan Jing for half an hour, and within an hour, the news of the meeting between the two had begun to spread in major online media.

Since the last time he went to Ashley Cole and was surrounded by British reporters, Yan Jing had become highly wary of them. This time, he also wore sunglasses and a hat to see Boas as a cover, but he was unexpectedly recognized by a British reporter and took a photo.

Villas-Boas came to Yan Jing this time and vaguely revealed to him that he wanted to leave Mourinho to go alone, but at the same time, he also reluctantly said that although he was the first disciple of the madman, his age still became a big problem.

"I'm 29 years old, but they still think I'm too young as a coach."

Yan Jing said nonsense in a serious way: "You should give them an example of the coach of the Bundesliga Dortmund, and tell him that the Chinese is only twenty-five years old this year." ”

Boas bent his eyes: "Hahaha, I also think, next time I'll try it like this." ”

Jokes aside, Yan Jing still seriously proposed advice to Boas: "Andre, in fact, this has nothing to do with age, what matters is whether you have absorbed enough knowledge from Jose." Personally, I think it's too early for you to leave, Jose is a good coach and I know you have a very good relationship with him, so you can just wait. ”

Boas looked at Yan Jing: "Wait? ”

Yan nodded: "I believe that in the near future, the landscape of European football will change drastically, and that is the time you need to wait. ”

Boas shrugged: "Is your absolutely accurate prediction again?" ”

"It was added by the media without authorization, you won't believe it, right?"

Yan Jing's conversation with Villas-Boas didn't last long, as Yan Jing had to take the team to Stamford Bridge for on-field training and a pre-match press conference.

On his way back, he passed by a shopping mall and heard "The Sound of the Tree" by Rita and her Red Moon in the Sea, and many people around him were humming its catchy melody.

Yan Jing flipped out his phone, the last time they had a call was last month, and Rita called him to thank him for the chocolates he gave him.

As a newcomer, I just released my first single, so I must have to perform everywhere in order to promote and attract popularity......

Yan Jing hesitated for a while and deleted the number he had just entered in the dialing interface.

He returned to the hotel and had dinner with the players before taking the bus to Stamford Bridge.

As the home of the Blues Chelsea, Stamford Bridge was originally intended to be used by fellow London side Fulham. Originally built in 1877, the stadium has a capacity of 42,522 fans, making it the third largest stadium in London.

As the bus was moving fast, Yaya Toure looked at the pitch not far away and asked curiously: "Do you know why Chelsea's stadium is called Stamford Bridge?" ”

CoentrΓ£o, who didn't know the truth, casually rambled: "It looks like a bridge?" ”

"Looks like a bridge?" Suarez looked out the window, "Fabio, you're blind." ”

Thuram, who was sitting behind them, gave them some knowledge at this time: "Stamford Bridge is now located between Fulham Road and King's Road, and in the 18th century map of London, there is a small river between these two roads, and the name is 'Stamford'. The river crosses Fulham Road on a bridge marked 'Sanford Bridge', and the bridge that crosses King's Road is also known as 'Stan's Bridge'. So it should be that these two bridges were put together to get the name of the current Stamford Bridge stadium. ”

CoentrΓ£o and Suarez were surprised by Thuram's knowledge: "Wow, I see...... Lilian, you know so much. ”

By the time they talked, they had arrived at Stamford Bridge.

Yan Jing lifted the curtain and looked out, and sure enough, a large number of difficult English reporters were ready to go to war at any time. Other than that, I don't know why there are a whole bunch of women around.

He didn't think much of it, got up and hooked hands with the group of players in suits and leather shoes behind him: "We're here, we're ready to get off, if a reporter asks you questions in English, you will ignore him." ”

What Yan Jing didn't expect was that all the women outside came for him.

As soon as he got out of the car, he heard bursts of screams, and these women's combat effectiveness seemed to be completely inferior to that of reporters, and they squeezed reporters behind them in order to get close to Yan Jing.

"Strict! Strict! Sign me for it! ”

"I love you! I love you! Yan, here's my phone number......"

"Yan, please let me give you a football team!"

Yan Jing stopped in annoyance, because the women had surrounded their bus, and he couldn't move forward at all.

Weidenfeller, who was following Yan Jing, heard a scream before he got out of the car, he looked at Yan Jing who was stagnant in front of him, and raised his hand to poke Yan Jing's back.

"Boss, what's the situation? Got football hooligans? ”

He's heard of the power of English football hooligans, but why are they all female hooligans?

In fact, Yan Jing didn't understand the current situation either.

It's okay to encounter such a thing in Dortmund and China, but he hasn't done anything related to England before, how can there be so many female fans who don't know where to run?

Yan Jing doesn't pay much attention to the football gossip page in the UK, and naturally he doesn't know about the blessing of heartthrob Beckham, who has been on the homepage news of major print media and online media many times, and has many fans because of this.

Just when Yan Jing was struggling to break out of the encirclement, the security guards at Stamford Bridge finally noticed that something was wrong here, and hurriedly rushed to make a wall for Yan Jing and open a way for them.

Through the self-sacrifice of the security guards, the team led by Yan Jing entered the inside of the Stamford Bridge stadium.

"Boss, aren't you really a big star?" Thiago Silva had never seen a coach get such treatment: "Their voices almost deafened my ears. ”

Yan Jing smiled and shook his head: "Entering the court, I can only be regarded as a small supporting role at most, and the real big star should be you." ”

David Silva put on his training shirt, and Villa, who was next to him, whispered to him: "The boss is really good at talking, I'm going to be excited." ”

"Guaje, if you don't have the courage to take a hundred out, I advise you to give up, there are too many suitors for the leader." David Silva whispered.

Ribery suddenly bypassed Sneijder and moved between them to participate in the conversation: "What if it were you?" Cuco, do you have many suitors? ”

"I met my girlfriend when I was four years old." Talking about this topic, Silva smiled, "She is now completing her university studies in Spain, and if she wants, I plan to bring her to Germany in the future." ”

Villa continued: "My wife and I have been married for more than five years, Patricia is very understanding, and our children are more than a year old. ”

Ribery, the single dog, suffered a series of critical hits, and he looked at Villa incredulously: "Guaje, you got married at the age of twenty?!" ”

Villa nodded rightly: "yes, is there any problem?" ”

"You really can't imagine stepping into the grave of marriage so early." Ribery shook his head again and again and made a gesture of regret, "If you don't take advantage of your youth to have more sexual encounters, it's just a man in vain." ”

CoentrΓ£o came over at some point: "Frank, I just want to ask Maria if she finally gave you your mobile phone number." ”

When he heard the name Maria, Ribery was slightly stunned.

He does have an obvious affection for the good-looking Maria, but unfortunately she is already engaged. However, before leaving, he couldn't help but ask Maria for her mobile phone number, but Maria didn't give him the number in the end.

"Fabio, don't say it." Ribery rolled his eyes, "Who is Maria, why haven't I heard of this person?" ”

Yan Jing looked at the players who were gathered around and didn't know what they were talking about: "You still want to talk in the locker room about when it's time to go to the court." ”

The players rose in response and followed Yan Jing towards the court.

The first ten minutes were filmed by the media, and when they arrived at the stadium, Yan Jing first asked the players to warm up and deal with the camera.

"Yan, I think the turf is a little soft." Assistant coach Nafer walked around the turf and said to Yan Jing beside him, "It shouldn't be my delusion. ”

Listening to Nafir, Yan Jing also tried to take two steps, and found that the turf was indeed softer than the average one.

'If Chelsea had watered the stadium, it would have been sooner and we should have done it after we left.'

Yan Jing covered his mouth and whispered to Nafir, in case those strange lip experts came out to interpret it again.

"There has been no rain in London lately." Naphil remembers this very clearly, "Does it have any effect on us? ”

After the media left, Yan Jing asked the Dortmund players to practice their tactics for a while as usual.

The slightly softer turf makes the players dare not step on it too hard, because if you are not careful, you are likely to fall and make a mistake, and the ball on the ground will pass at a slower speed.

Yan Jing raised his eyebrows when he saw this state.

It seems that Mourinho really values him enough, obviously the opponent has a special understanding of Dortmund before the game, and does not despise them like other giants.

Although it is only a speculation at the moment, it always hurts to prepare a little more in advance, and Yan Jing suddenly gathered the players.

"Do you usually kick long passes?"

The players who stopped training looked at Yan Jing and didn't quite understand.

Long pass punch hanging? Although they tried this tactic in summer training, they didn't train much.

"We've tried it at the previous club, chief."

Yan Jing clapped his hands: "Very good, from now on, we will change the content of the training to a long pass and a hanging." ”

Yaya Toure touched his head: "Boss, why?" Isn't the current tactic very good? ”

Yan Jing quietly tapped the turf with his toes: "Yaya, didn't you feel anything special when you were training just now?" ”

A special place? Most of the players are sensitive enough to the turf, and David Silva, a technical player, can sense the effects of the soft turf, and he nodded to Yan Jing and said: "I think the turf is a little soft, like stepping on a pitch that has just been raining. ”

The rest of the players nodded in agreement, and Yaya Toure remembered a few mistakes in training today after Silva said that, and now he has finally found the reason.

"It's just a light rain now, and tomorrow may be more than that. Because tomorrow morning they have to go through the UEFA turf inspection, and after the inspection, they can do whatever they want. It's not raining, but tomorrow the venue will look like it's raining. ”

Yan Jing crouched down and pressed the turf of Stamford Bridge with his fingers, his fingertips bringing up a little moist new green.

"Of course, this is just my personal speculation, but it never hurts to be prepared in advance."

"We are already familiar with the tactics of summer training and I don't think it will be a problem if we train a little less tonight. Now considering the problem of turf, just in case, we still have to be prepared. ”

The players admired Yan Jing's observation: "Got it, boss! ”

After that, the whole team practiced the long ball and rush tactics, although not as skilled as the tactics they were used to, but fortunately, the players were talented and adapted quickly to any tactic.

Towards the end of training, Yan Jing had to attend the pre-match press conference, but before that he gave a special message to the players.

"In addition to the usual sneakers for tomorrow's game, you also have to bring your own special sneakers for the rain battle, and if you don't have one, let Numan help you prepare them immediately."

Yan Jing looked around the players, and finally he hooked his hand at Ribery: "Frank, come with me to the press conference." ”
