Chapter 171: If you're leaving, be sure to take me away.

The next day, Gao Bo was awakened by the sun's rays refracted from the glass of the window of the building opposite the apartment.

During this time, the team's schedule was frequent, which also caused Gao Bo to be in a state of mental tension for a long time. The position of head coach is already extremely stressful, and if you don't have a little ability to resist pressure, you can't gain a foothold in this industry.

However, proper rest is also the best way to recharge your batteries.

After the 10th round of league fixtures with Southampton, the team's next game will be a week away, with a rare break for the players. Gao Bo naturally gave the team a day off, as well as for himself and the members of the coaching staff.

Gao Bo rubbed his eyes and woke up from his sleep, first eating breakfast and then reading the newspaper.

After that, Gao Bo cared about the games of other teams in the First Division.

Leeds United and Charlton have won again....

Gao Bo pouted, the resilience of these two teams is okay, Leeds United have been winning since the defeat to Luton Town, and the point difference between them has not changed.

Gao Bo didn't expect other teams in the First Division to pose any threat to the two teams, and it seemed that everything would have to be on his own.

At lunch, Gao Bo called Haruko and Lin Sen to eat together at a local Chinese restaurant - in fact, the Chinese restaurant was not opened by Chinese, but by an authentic Englishman, who had spent some time in Singapore and did not know where he learned the art of half-hung Chinese cooking.

Two Chinese and one Japanese, in a food environment like England, can only barely accept the half-hung Chinese chef Connor Chaplin's small restaurant called "Connor Chinese Restaurant".

"Connor, how is Kung Pao Chicken sweet?!!"

Gao Bo ordered a kung pao chicken today, and he complained after tasting the first bite.

Connor Chaplin doesn't look at him as the comedian Chaplin, but he definitely weighs more than twice as much as the comedian Chaplin, and the Chinese chef Chaplin is a man who is absolutely serious about his profession.

"Isn't Kung Pao Chicken sweet?" Connor said, holding up a sauté pan.

"Isn't Kung Pao Chicken sweet?" Lin Sen, a native of Jiangsu, also raised his head and asked.

"That.... Isn't Kung Pao Chicken salty? Haruko also looked confused.

"When I was studying Chinese food in Singapore, my teacher told me very clearly that Kung Pao Chicken is sweet!!"

"But I'm Chinese!! Chinese food should be based on the taste of the Chinese! Gao Bo raised his hand in protest.

"Lin too!"

Connor pointed at Lin Sen and said, Lin Sen shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't help.

Whether the kung pao chicken is sweet or salty, several people did not argue about the result, and in the end, the chef's opinion prevailed.

So Connor Chaplin left with a victorious gesture.

After lunch, Gao Bo decided to go to the academy. He wanted to go and see Li Yuanshan's situation.

And Haruko said for the first time that she wanted to go with her, and Lin Sen also had some interest in the youth academy.

The group soon arrived at the academy centre in Luton.

The suburban academy has now begun to expand, and since the team didn't spend much money in the summer transfer window, Gao Bo decided to upgrade the academy.

First of all, there are staff additions, which allow Luton Town to hire more high-quality academy coaches, at least compared to last season.

The academy is divided into two parts, one part is keeping the academy running, and the other part is under construction.

The youth base is much quieter than the first-team base, and there are not many fans who come here to watch the players train on weekdays, most of them are relatives and friends of the young players themselves, unless there is a youth team event.

In order not to let the construction site affect the normal training of the players, the team also used light box cloth to separate the training ground from the construction site.

Academy director Steve Powell received Gao Bo with a red face.

"What are you going to build over there?" Lin Sen asked, pointing to the construction site in the distance.

"Two new training grounds, youth player quarters, as well as physiotherapists and gyms!"

Gao Bo said that these things were all decided by him, and the investment was not too big anyway, and compared with the team's income last season, the newly built things would not bring financial pressure.

"In the future, the academy will continue to expand and if possible, we can also build a training base for the first team here, so that the young players can see how the first team is training, which will be their goal!"

Gao Bo stuck his waist, like a small leader in China inspecting the construction site, and Steve, who nodded and nodded next to him, was obviously a dog.

For Gao Bo's vision, Steve is also full of longing.

However, Lin Sen quietly frowned.

'Have you learned anything from the Academy lately?' After Gao Bo finished watching the construction site, the most important thing is, of course, to see the performance of the young people.

"Of course, the academy is full of great guys." Steve said with a wink.

"Haha...."Gao Bo laughed, and the group walked into the youth training base.

At this time, the U18 players were training on the largest field, and Gao Bo saw Li Yuanshan among them at a glance. Despite being only fifteen years old, Li Yuanshan is now training with the Under-18 players, and his body is strong enough for him to adapt to the intensity of the Under-18s.

Gao Bo nodded with satisfaction, Li Yuanshan's training was very dedicated, and he completed every project to the letter.

"How's his training?" Gao Bo pointed at Li Yuanshan and said.

"Very good, I really don't know what he grew up eating, his health is so good that people are jealous....." Steve Powell said, "If it wasn't for the bone age measurement during the physical examination, I really don't believe he is only fifteen years old, tall." ”

"It's unbelievable, but it's happening." Gao Bo said.

"What about the rest of him?"

"In terms of basic training, he usually trains alone at Court 3 in the afternoon, starting with the simplest basic exercises..... If he'd been training with us since he was a kid, I'd even be sure to train him to be the new Drogba. Steve Powell said with a sigh shaking his head.

"It's not like there's no chance of becoming Drogba now!" Gao Bo turned his head and said, "As long as he works hard enough." ”

Steve Powell also nodded.

"Let's look at other people's training. Maybe we'll have something else to gain. Gao Bo said as he stood on the sidelines and watched the youth team's training.

Gao Bo watched from the sidelines for two hours, and the youth team players trained harder when they saw the manager on the sidelines.

Gao Bo did make an impression of several of these players, jotting them down in his small notebook, and he could always add them from the youth team if the team needed it in the future.

On the way back for a few people, Lin Sen wanted to speak and stopped.

Gao Bo saw what Lin Sen wanted to say: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

"Are you going to stay in Luton all the time? Bogo?? ”

Gao Bo thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, it's not twenty years ago, there is no second Ferguson, but the current football environment can no longer accommodate a character like Ferguson." ”

Linsen nodded, Chelsea's rise is a sign, the future will be the world of capital dominating football, and the head coach ...... Perhaps more of a return to technical roles.

'Then why do you invest so much in the Academy in Luton?'

When Lin Sen saw the construction of the academy, he really thought that Gao Bo planned to stay in this team all the time.

"After working here for so long, I must leave something truly meaningful." Gao Bo smiled.

In Gao Bo's view, if Luton really want to rise in the future, the key is not how many championships they win now, but their foundation, and whether the academy can continue to replenish them with fresh blood.

It's like Southampton.

Unless, of course, they can get investment from local tycoons, like Chelsea and Manchester City...

At this time, Haruko suddenly walked in front of Gao Bo.

She looked like she had been struggling to think about it, and then she mustered up the courage to raise her head, but her eyes didn't dare to look directly at Gao Bo: "Gao Bo-kun, if you want to leave Luton, please ..... Be sure to take me away! ”
