Chapter 24: Luton's Academy

In the end, Gao Bo didn't use these two lottery chances to exchange for a chicken white card exchange ticket.

He used a draw and only one white card was drawn: a player was named and his header was improved by two percent in the game.....

Seeing such an attribute card, Gao Bo sighed, it is basically impossible to draw a god costume by lottery. More often than not, you need to complete quests to get high-level cards.

After that, Gao Bo also used the second lottery opportunity, anyway, now Gao Bo doesn't expect to use the lottery opportunity to exchange for any exchange coupons, just use them all, maybe if you are lucky, you can even explode a god costume.

But as it turned out, Gao Bo's luck wasn't much better.

The second chapter card is also a white card: designate a player and increase the high ball cross stat by 3% during the match

Sure enough, Luton's current crosses rarely have direct high-altitude crosses, when the fullbacks assist up, there will generally be three points of outflanking in the middle, Luton's two strikers have a good ability to grab points, and Drinkwater's range of activity is also very large, generally Gao Bo will allow Drinkwater to insert into the penalty area, and in the front of the penalty area, two midfield players will receive this side, one can grab the second point, and the other will also provide the fullback with another passing line option.

Either way, it's better than nothing. At least I can equip cards in all three slots now.

Gao Bo's mood soon improved, and in the second division, Luton Town did not have much pressure. If Gao Bo wants to win the highest mission reward of "Save Luton", he must lead Luton to win the second division championship, which is very difficult...

However, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and now that Luton are still in negative points, it is not realistic to think about winning the championship.

Gao Bo got up from the bed, washed up, and then made himself a simple breakfast.

Gao Bo decided to check out Luton's academy today.

The team is on vacation, and Gao Bo himself can't take a holiday.

The manager of the English team is more accurate than the manager of the team, and in addition to the first team, including the Academy, it is also the responsibility of the manager.

In contrast to the training base for the first team, Luton's academy is located on the edge of Luton's city, close to the suburbs.

Instead of taking a taxi, he decided to try out Luton's public transport system.

Luton is actually quite a small city, which is also a common denominator of British cities, except for international metropolises such as London, most of the cities in China may be the size of a county-level city.... Maybe it might as well be...

For example, Manchester, which is well-known in the fan circle, has only more than 400,000 people in the urban area, which is really just a small city in China.

Double-decker buses are a feature of England, and although the buses are quite large, there are not many passengers in them.

Turn left across Luton's main road and after a path through a park, you'll find Luton's Academy.

It is said that it is an academy, but it does not occupy a large area, there is a row of low houses as the office space of the academy staff, because most of the children in the Luton academy are also from Luton and the surrounding area, so there is no dormitory in the academy at all - compared to those big club academies full of talented players from all over the world, a small club like Luton does not have the strength to expand the scouting network to the world.

The Academy has a standard 11-a-side football pitch with two smaller pitches next to it that can be used for seven-a-side or five-a-side matches.

Academy director Steve Powell was delighted with the arrival of Gao Bo.

"You really should come here more, boss. We've got a lot of great lads here! Accompanied by Steve, Gao Bo walked into the team's academy.

'We have more than 90 kids here now, from Under-15s to Under-19s. At this time, the young players are being divided into groups and led by the coaches for basic technical training, and there is still a game going on on the big field in the middle of the training base.

'It was an internal training match for the Under-18s. Seeing that Gao Bo was interested in the game, Steve hurriedly explained.

It is said that it is U18, in fact, there are many 16-year-old and 17-year-old players, because the Luton first team has withdrawn a large number of U18 and U19 players from the academy, so there is obviously a shortage of senior echelon personnel in the team now.

Gao Bo stood on the sidelines and watched for a while, Luton are typical England teams, so even in the academy, the ball is flying in the air.

It is no wonder that England's vast and complex league system is becoming more and more difficult to provide qualified players for the Premier League's giants.

Because the top teams in the Premier League have invariably abandoned the traditions of England, they began to learn from the European continent and bring the advanced football concepts of the European continent into the Premier League, and this trend is getting faster and faster with the influx of international capital into the Premier League.

Now Arsene Wenger's Arsenal has long become an international column, and Wenger has brought in a large number of players from the European continent, making Arsenal, a pure British style team, now a representative of the Premier League's gorgeous football.

The Premier League team represented by Chelsea is because of the investment from the outside world has brought a lot of money, Abu bought many stars for Chelsea, and these stars from the European continent are bound to have a profound impact on the pattern of the Premier League.

Gao Bo attaches great importance to the team's academy, although money can buy stars, but a team's hematopoietic ability is also a key factor to support the development of a ball, Manchester United's revival needs to start from the 92 class, and Barcelona is about to usher in a brilliant era - and the key to creating an era is the growth of La Masia's youth products represented by Messi.

Gao Bo looked at the humble environment around him, the rough turf, he was very dissatisfied with such a youth training environment. However, if the Academy is to be expanded, it will inevitably require a lot of money, and now that Luton Town are just emerging from financial difficulties, it is unlikely that they will have spare money to invest in the Academy.

However, Gao Bo still pays attention to this matter first, first of all, the change of youth training style, it seems that in the future, it is necessary to devote part of his work experience to youth training work.

"Sort out the training courses of the youth trainees, and I'll take a look at them first." Gao Bo looked from the sidelines, then turned to Steve Powell and said.

And the boys who were playing on the field naturally noticed Gao Bo on the sidelines.

The first-team manager came to the Academy and gave the lads a lot of motivation and the game on the pitch became more intense. All the young players want to be spotted by Gao Bo and then brought into the first team.

At this time, a commotion on the sidelines attracted Gao Bo's attention.
