After the end of the league at Everton, the players who have the task of playing with the national team are disbanded in situ and go to the location required by their respective football associations to report for duty.

As usual, Iroh had nothing to do but stay at home and enter the system for long-range training, which was to adapt to the bad weather in London at the Cobham training base.

He also noticed that his form had declined, and it was inextricably linked to the weather in London.

As the temperature gets colder, the sunlight visible over London gradually decreases, but thankfully, London, formerly known as the fog capital, does not repeat its historical accidents.

As is customary in the old international break, every team will announce a three-to-five day off, and the same is true for Chelsea, who became accustomed to it on the second day, except for the surprise of goalkeeper Uncle John when Iroh arrived at the Cobham training base on the first day.

Because he knew that Iroh was a hard-working young man who did not face training negatively because of his honor, and he also knew from the media and newspapers that the root cause of Eyro's recent decline in form was directly related to the cold weather in London.

Iroh came to the Cobham training base to adapt to self-training in cold weather, and adaptation also requires a process, so it is normal for Iroh to come to the Cobham training base every day.

On the second day of the Chelsea holiday, Jose Mourinho gave up his holiday to attend the office building at the Cobham training base to continue his research on the next few league games.

Of course, the most important game is the League Cup quarter-final against Liverpool.

The League Cup is one of the earliest champions in the English professional league, for this championship, Mourinho does not want to give up lightly, as the saying goes, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, no one will dislike too many championships, unless the league and the Champions League have entered the white-hot stage and have to abandon one of the games.

However, when Mourinho saw the league schedule before the Carabao Cup quarter-final with Liverpool, he had a bit of a headache, because Chelsea still had to play a London derby away from home, and the opponent was not ordinarily strong!

The opponent is Arsenal.

This is where Mourinho struggles, but fortunately Arsenal have also reached the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, and they will play a day before Chelsea, away to Blackburn, which means Chelsea will have an extra day of rest at Stamford Bridge and wait for Liverpool.

If you really want to compare, Chelsea have the advantage! Because they don't need to leave London at all.

Coupled with the fact that Chelsea has already secured the Champions League group stage in advance, there is no need to spend any more time on the Champions League group stage, which is much easier than Arsenal and Liverpool, especially Liverpool, because they have only four points from four Champions League group stage defeats, and if they want to qualify from the group, it means that they must win all the remaining two rounds of the group stage, and the pressure is even greater.

Thinking of this, Mourinho habitually wrote down in his notebook the opponents he would face after the international break: Derby County, PSV Eindhoven, West Ham, Sunderland, Rosenborg, Arsenal, Liverpool......

Of course, the biggest pain for him was the Christmas rush, with four league games played between December 24 and January 1, 2008, which was a real test of the team's integrity.

But when the time comes, let's talk about it, and playing the pre-Christmas game well first is the best help for Christmas.

Then Mourinho looked at the league standings, the first place is Chelsea, 13 rounds, 11 wins and 2 draws remain unbeaten, with 35 points, the second place is Liverpool 9 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with 29 points, Manchester United with 8 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss with 27 points.

A full 6 points ahead of second place! It's only 13 rounds of the league!!

In addition to his own credit, the biggest credit has to be Elo, who has scored 14 goals in 13 league games and has 6 assists!

At this point, Mourinho began to worry, because the current form of Iroh began to decline, which is typical because of the climate, the weather in this part of London is really terrible!!

Then he turned his head to look at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen window, November 13th?

Isn't this the second day of the team's holiday?

Should I talk to Iroh?

That's right...... It seems that he heard that he had a big conflict with the president of their country's football association and was permanently expelled from the national team, which means that he had nothing to do during the two international breaks!

Should he be allowed to come to the training base for adaptive training during this time?

Thinking about it, Mourinho felt a little headache, so he habitually walked to the window facing his desk, breathed fresh air, adjusted his mentality, and maybe had a good idea.

※※※

Well? Is that......

Mourinho took a sip of a strong cup of coffee in his left hand, then looked out the window, in the entire Cobham training base, the youth teams had already started training, and then he subconsciously turned his head to look at the first-team training ground, but the moment he turned his head, he remembered that it was an international break, and the first-team training ground was empty.

However, he was surprised to find a person in the training ground of the first team who was doing a simple stretching exercise.

Well?

Mourinho turned his head to look over, and he wondered who would be so diligent when the team was on vacation!

Be...... Iroh!

What a diligent young man!

But...... How can a person have a good training effect?

Mourinho thought as he pinched his chin with the thumb and forefinger of his right hand.

Mourinho then turned back to his desk, picked up his phone, and pressed down on the mobile number of his strength and conditioning coach and assistant, Faria.

"Rui...... Come to Cobham! ”

"Huh? Isn't it a holiday today? Faria on the other end of the line was visibly yawning.

"Overtime!"

"Damn, can you have a little conscience!"

"There's overtime pay!" Mourinho has a rare touch of humor.

"Good! ...... right away."

In the past, David Silva, Albiol, Wang Xiaolei and others were accompanied by David Silva, Albiol and Wang Xiaolei during the additional training, and it did not seem boring during the additional training, but now it is reflected in the first team training ground at Cobham.

Because this is different from the system, I have to pick up the ball when I kick the ball far away, and it is difficult to raise my interest to the highest level, I always feel that this is self-training, and I can't stimulate my inner fighting spirit, not to mention the so-called adaptation to the London weather.

So Iroh simply stopped training, aimed at the crossbar at a distance of 30 meters from the goal, and kicked the ball out.

Bang dang ~~~

The soccer ball is ready to hit the goal crossbar.

It seems that his own technology is still quite rebellious!

Iroh crossed his hips and got up.

Bang Bang Bang -

Iroh shrugged his shoulders and was about to turn around for cardio training when applause rang out behind him.

So he subconsciously turned around and looked at the source of the sound.

It's the strength and conditioning coach Rui Faria.

Didn't he also take a vacation with the team?

But Faria took what the two had to say and explained it to Elo.

Faria pointed to the office building diagonally above the first team's training ground: "Jose saw you in the office doing a boring training alone, so he called me over and trained with you. ”

Next, Faria gave Iroh a professional analysis, and then conducted targeted training.

Waiting for one's gradual adaptation to the persistent cold weather in London is slow, so Faria uses an overload of acclimatization training for Elo's situation.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is to make a physical reserve for the fast horse whip during the Christmas period in the future, because the weather in London is cold now, as long as the running of the game players is relaxed, it will quickly lead the body to stiffen quickly, so that the players will be distracted in the game.

In order to be able to keep running during the race, then it is necessary to have sufficient physical fitness as a guarantee, so as to ensure that the body is in a state of 'warm-up' during the normal game, and when the time comes, it will not be self-defeating to adapt to the weather.

Iello had developed a habit in Valencia in La Liga, and although he looked positive, he basically ran between 8,000 and 9,000 meters throughout the game, which was almost 3,000 kilometers less than the average running distance in the Premier League.

Eight kilometres is not a problem for a normal climate in England, but cold weather is a bit insufficient, so it is urgent to rebuild your energy reserves.

On this day, under Faria's targeted training, Iroh was tired like a dog by the end of the training, lying motionless on the ground.

But Faria was also prepared, and threw the thickened down jacket that had been prepared to Iroh as soon as he was lying on the ground: "Put it on, don't catch a cold!" It's best to take a shower within 10 minutes! ”

※※※

That night, after returning to the villa, Iroh simply ate a homemade nutritious meal and couldn't wait to enter the system.

Since the system has been upgraded from beginner to intermediate, the number of times that the system elf dreams have appeared has become less and less, which means that many new things in the system now have to be explored by Iro.

Of course, when Xiaomeng is there, it will be counted separately.

But most of the time, it's the dragon that doesn't see the end.

For example, now, no matter how much you snap your fingers, you can't summon it.

In fact, what Iroh didn't know was that the system consciously made him change from relying on the system to relying on himself now, which was originally the original intention of the system, but he didn't say it explicitly.

After the system was provided to him with a golden finger, it also became an auxiliary role now.

Maintain status, improve abilities, complete achievements, and give rewards.

But as far as Iello is concerned, who has just moved to Chelsea, there is no achievement task for him to complete, the closest is the League Cup title, but the reward is too petty, and there is nothing but experience points.

And the random tasks do not appear, which means that without the heart-warming reward, you can't mobilize the best of yourself.

So Iroh has been a bit boring lately, in addition to the weather, he also has his own mentality.
