Chapter 526: Robben VS Iro
Although Chelsea's number of signings before the 2007-2008 season was not as large as in previous seasons, with only eight players, the quality of the signings has improved significantly, and the cost of the signings is also good, except for Arlo spent £60 million, Malouda and Belletti spent a total of £17.25 million.
It accounts for less than a third of Iro.
So at this time, the Chinese fans are particularly excited.
There are not many reinforcements, but there are a lot of players who have been transferred, which is five times the number of players bought, that is to say, three players have been bought, but a full sixteen players have been sold, and the team can be said to have come to a big change.
Of course, there are also five players who have come on free transfer at the end of their contracts.
For example, Aimar, who spent nearly £30 million from Valencia before last season, has largely not played all season, so he has to quickly slim down the squad before the start of the new season.
In the 2004-2005 season, Chelsea's rookie Wang Robben belongs to the type of player who starts high and goes low, in addition to the number of appearances in the first season reached 30+, the 2005-2006 season and the 2006-2007 season have decreased several times, and frequent injuries have also limited Chelsea's combat effectiveness.
Because Aeloh has not been plagued by injuries at all, except for the necessary rotation, and he is even more full attendance for key games, which has a stabilizing effect on the team.
Coupled with being La Liga's top scorer for three consecutive seasons and a European Golden Boot winner for two seasons, there are countless new goal records set by Zào, which is also a great addition to Chelsea's attacking power.
And after the announcement of Iello's transfer to Chelsea after the end of last season, the latest Premier League championship index of the three major European bookmakers, Chelsea surpassed Manchester United to become the biggest favorite again, and Chelsea, the champion of the Champions League in the new season, has naturally become one of the favorites, which shows how much Elo's addition has helped Chelsea's combat effectiveness.
So after Iroh followed Lampard into the dressing room, many players took the initiative to greet him.
Who can resist the temptation of a champion?
Of course, not everyone had good intentions towards Arro, as was the case with Alger Robben, who sat alone at the far end of the dressing room.

Mourinho has always given outsiders the impression that he is a character with a strong personality and a headache, but he gives his players the feeling that he is responsible, can protect his players, and will always stand up and take the initiative to take all the pressure and responsibility on himself when it is important to relieve the pressure on the players.
But Mourinho's first impression of Iroh was ...... Stern!
With La Liga finishing last season in late June, Iroh was the only player in the squad to be allowed to return at the end of July, while the rest of the squad trained for almost a week in preparation for the Community Shield in early August.
One of the first things Iello reported to the team, like the rest of the team, was to go to the players' observation room for a simple physical check-up and a personal fitness test, similar to when he first arrived at Chelsea Football Club for a medical check-up.
Assistant coach Villas-Boas is in charge of the team's day-to-day training, so it was strength and conditioning coach Faria, an energetic and passionate middle-aged man who accompanied Ailo on his physical assessment test.
Just about to do the 4x10m switchback run and 30m start sprint test, it was just the rest time of the training team, Robben walked up to Faria under the surprise of all the team members, and then expressed his intention to be a 'sparring partner' for Iro, he felt that Iroh could not see a good result by doing the test alone.
Although Robben's idea seems to be to be a 'sparring partner' for Iro, who can't see that Robben is trying to challenge Iro's speed?
Because everyone knows why the club is willing to spend a lot of money to buy Elo, in addition to Elo's strength that makes opponents tremble, there is also a body that is not easy to get injured, which means that Chelsea's introduction of Elo is completely aimed at Robben's glass physique that can be injured at every turn.
So this time he's here to prove that he's better than Iro!
Even if your body is easily injured, your strength is unquestionable!
Iroh turned his head to look at the provocative Robben, laughed playfully, and then looked at the strength and conditioning coach Faria, meaning to let him have an idea.
How could Faria not know what he was thinking when he looked at Eloh? So he could only turn to Mourinho for help.
Coincidentally, Jose Mourinho, who was discussing training with Villas-Boas not far away, also looked over and looked at his expression, as if he had been paying attention to it for a long time.
Faria's attention was on Mourinho, who nodded the next second, and the meaning was obvious, that is, to agree to Robben's challenge with Iro.
※※※
The interval between training sessions has passed, but Boas did not ask the players to continue training, but acquiesced to them to sit and watch, because the professional players are a group of over-energetic guys, even if they are forced to train, it will not be effective, it is better to let them watch the original team's No. 1 speed madman Robben PK Arlo.
Robben has absolute confidence in his speed, facing Arlo who dares to compete with his speed, he sneered in his heart, he admits that maybe the scoring ability and absolute speed are not as good as the opponent, but compared to the 4x10m switchback and 30m sprint, it is definitely his absolute advantage!
Five minutes later, Robben and Iroh were ready.
At Cobham's first-team training base, the attention of the manager and the players is firmly locked on Arjen Robben and Elo, who both know are known for their speed, but who is faster?
But there is no definite number jù.
Of course, this is only for the players on the training pitch, as Iroh has already tested it when he came to Chelsea for a medical and all the speed-related disciplines are the team's all-time firsts.
Note that it's the team's all-time first, not the team's number one today!
After the preparation was completed, both men came to the starting line.
On four rows of 10-metre straight tracks, where Iroh and Robben would make four round-trips and touch the touch marker at the end of the line, the two of them would be in the second and third lanes of the four-row, ten-metre run.
Acting as a referee is Faria, a strength and conditioning coach.
He raised his hand to signal if Iroh and Robben were ready, while the two of them on the starting line bowed and nodded.
A second later, Faria blew the whistle in his mouth.
Iroh and Robben started off the starting line almost as soon as the whistle blew, and they leaped out like arrows from the string.
The team members who watched the two compete in the 4x10m switchback run from the rest room held their breath as both Arlo and Robben were seen to be moving away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The distance of ten meters is almost in the blink of an eye, but the next thing is the most critical.
Because they all need to stop suddenly, then touch the marker, turn around and start accelerating.
In the blink of an eye, Iroh and Robben reached the far finish line at the same time, and it was impossible to see with the naked eye who had reached first.
Twisting the waist and touching the markers in one go, the 4x10m switchback run is a must-have for professional players, so they are both very proficient, and the movements are very standard and coordinated.
Although outsiders can't tell who is faster, Robben, who is the person concerned, is clear, and the turn and touch of the marker Elo just now are faster than himself.
As the pride of the sky since he was a child, how could he lose to Iroh? So he decided to win in the remaining three rounds.
But...... Sometimes the gap in strength is impossible to recover with fighting spirit.
By the time Iroh turned back to where he was, where he had just started, players not far away could already see that Iroh was the first to touch the marker.
The same process was repeated, and Iroh crossed the finish line by a clear margin.
Fitness coach Faria quickly pressed the two of them in a row for the moment of arrival.
Six seconds thirty-seven, seven seconds and eighteen
Oh my God, they all broke their own records for the fastest!
Faria rubbed his eyes incredulously, and when he looked at the stopwatch in his hand for the third time, he found that there was indeed no dazzle, but a real existence!
Robben reached the finish line, his body was half-arched, his hands on his knees, and the long anaerobic exercise made his body a little insufficient, so he needed to breathe heavily, and he didn't realize that he had surpassed his original record for the fastest, but was wheezing and feeling frustrated because he was much slower than Iro.
When Iroh arrived at the end, he didn't look like Robben, but just took a little more breath.
Soon, Robben found an excuse for himself, as he felt that he had just returned from injury and was a little rusty with the power control of the switchback kick.
So he and his fitness coach Faria wanted to continue to accompany Iroh in the 30-meter sprint.
Faria turned to look at Iroh, who only shrugged his shoulders and didn't decide.
The two rested for about two minutes, adjusted their physical condition, and then began the 30-meter sprint.
Thirty meters is not a long distance, but it is not short either.
With a whistle from Faria, Iroh and Robben activated at the same time.
The Chelsea players who had just watched it were not enjoyable, but this time someone took the lead in whistling.
Although Iroh and Robben started at the same time and in the same place, the two were divided between fast and slow because of their respective explosive power.
Within five meters the two seemed to be evenly matched, but at the 10-meter mark, Ayroh narrowly outpaced Robben, and between 10 and 20 metres, Arlo outpaced Robben at a speed visible to the naked eye.
By the time he reached the end of the 30-meter line, Iroh had already shaken off Robben's two positions.
Faria's hand quickly pressed the button.
Three seconds five four, three seconds seven three
Looking at this result, Faria grinned, he knew that Ayroh was already suspected of releasing water, because this result was much slower than when he first came to the Cobham training base for a medical examination, and it was well below average.
The look in Eloh's eyes became a little intriguing.
After losing to Iroh one after another, Robben felt a little embarrassed.
It's like sending his face up to fan Iroh, a hot pain.
However, all the players did not mention it in the rest of the training session, and continued to train in preparation for the Community Shield at the new Wembley Stadium early next month and the upcoming Premier League fixture.
