On July 7, according to her mother Zhang Yuxiu, the Chinese lunar calendar calls this day Xiaoxia.

But in the UK, it's raining, and it's raining a lot.

Originally, there was no need to take the highway from Totridge to Theorebald, but in order to test the performance of the newly arrived BMW XU, Ye Qiu made a special detour to run the ring highway, and ravaged it fiercely.

This is the first batch of new cars sent to the Theobald training base after BMW signed the contract, including the delivery to Tottenham Hotspur for welcome and reception, BMW's top 7 Series, and 5 Series, all of which are available, after all, BMW for publicity, and the team's buses have all become BMW.

Not only that, but Peter Kenyon, Ron Gurley, and several of the most well-known coaches in the first team were given a BMW, and each of them chose a different car.

In addition, there are cars for the first-team players, and then the team will go to BMW's head office in London for test cars and car selection, and players can each choose a BMW according to their own wishes, and they are all free of charge, but the price is that the future appearance in West Obold and White Hart Lane stadium can only be BMW.

When BMW signed a contract with Tottenham Hotspur before, they asked Ye Qiu's opinion, and later directly gave this latest luxury top BMW XU, which is a model that will not be mass-produced until the end of the year, and it is impossible to buy it on the market, claiming to be an all-round coupe, and the driving experience is indeed first-class, and it is very comfortable.

After running a lap of the ring highway, Ye Qiu arrived at Theobald with great enjoyment.

After the security guard saw Ye Qiu, he said hello and immediately opened the door, and after passing through the gate, Ye Qiu noticed that there were many reporters gathered in the reception room on the first floor of the news building, and many people were eager to take pictures after seeing him drive in.

Tottenham Hotspur is different from before, and now Tottenham Hotspur is the king of the Champions League, so even if it is just a training day at the beginning of the season, it has attracted more than 100 reporters, many of whom are believed to be not from the UK, but from all over the world, because as early as a week ago, Tottenham Hotspur announced that the first day of the training camp will be open to the public.

The reputation of the Theobald training base has spread all over the world in the past two years, and at present, except for the special stadium for the youth team, which has not been completely completed, the rest of the facilities have been completed and put into use, so the first day of the new season training camp is open to the public, which is equivalent to a free tour for the media.

And Tottenham Hotspur has also arranged a lot of programs today, such as participating in the BMW car giveaway, and at the same time will announce the signing of David Silva in Theobald in the morning, which will also attract many Tottenham Hotspur fans, and I heard that there will be a groundbreaking ceremony in Stratford in the afternoon.

The whole day of the trip is densely arranged, so many reporters from all over the world come to Theoboldd early, but opening does not mean free activities, after they come to Theobold, the club staff will give them a reception, and then take them to follow the overall process.

When Ye Qiu got out of the car, he greeted Ye Qiu when he saw the smiling Messi.

This kid stared at Ye Qiu's car with a sinister eyebrow, with bad intentions.

Sure enough, soon, Messi came over with an umbrella, "Head, I heard that we are going to choose a car, can I choose you?" ”

"You?" Ye Qiu was happy when he heard it, "I said, you can see the front when you sit in this car?" ”

Messi was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while, but Fabregas and Van Persie and others next to him were already laughing and almost out of breath.

If you want to say that Messi is not stupid, he reacted quickly, and he laughed happily, he is also used to Ye Qiu's usual ginseng rooster-style ridicule, don't they often tease and ridicule him like this?

"I mean seriously, I don't like other BMW cars very much, so I think your XU is good"

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, "I'll ask them to help you ask, and give them publicity in advance."

Messi was immediately happy, but soon, Fabregas also shouted that he also wanted a XU, and Alves also shouted that he wanted a XU, and there were several more XU at once, and Ye Qiu didn't know if BMW could make so much, but it should be no problem, anyway, it has nothing to do with him.

"Our colleagues in the marketing department are also very hard to pull sponsorship, everyone can rest assured, the sponsorship of the team, everyone attends the event, there are benefits, we will not forget, so I hope everyone can understand that the sponsorship is not the club to use you, but everyone win-win, so I hope everyone can consciously abide by those sponsorship terms."

Ye Qiu's words were very sincere, and the players also understood.

Not long ago, it was just announced that Audi was going to sue Manchester United, because Manchester United got a car from Audi, but the players didn't like to drive Audi, they still drove their own cars, and then gave Audi to their families, and some people even gave it to others, which made Audi feel very dissatisfied, because it failed to achieve the publicity effect they wanted.

The players also know that the club pulls sponsorship, and they certainly can't do as much as they did before, but the Chinese have a saying, called boat love boat running, they and Tottenham Hotspur are people in the same boat, and they all hope that this boat can run faster, so that they can be better whether it is contract renewal or stadium results.

"We get it, head," the players all laughed and replied.

After all, Tottenham Hotspur have benefited them in both publicity and business operations over the past two years.

Ye Qiu smiled, waved his hand, and everyone returned to the locker room.

Before arriving at Theorebard, they can wear whatever they like, but when they arrive at Theorebard, they have to change Tottenham Hotspur's training immediately, in addition to the Tottenham Hotspur logo and the Adidas logo, there are also Qatar Airways advertisements.

This is what Tottenham Hotspur asked Adidas to provide, and this year's Tottenham Hotspur jersey style has also been redesigned, basically maintaining the team's traditional white shirt and black pants color, after all, this color is very popular, it is a popular color that anyone will like, and it has also brought the team a good start.

But if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the style of the jersey is better designed, and the Tottenham Hotspur logo has been improved again, and the overall is more dynamic, although the team won the Champions League, but did not add a star to the team logo, because that is the practice of continental Europe, and it is relatively rare in England.

After all, if they all want to go to the stars, then teams like Manchester United and Liverpool will have to fill up their shirts.

However, there are also teams with stars, for example, Manchester City has three stars, and Aston Villa has a star in 07 to commemorate the team's victory in the European Champions Cup in 19, and the other teams are basically gone.

When the players returned to the locker room, Ye Qiu also went upstairs to change the coach's training, which was also a set of coaching staff training specially designed by Adidas for them, and it was also advertised for Qatar Airways, but it did not affect the viewing and comfort of the training.

After going downstairs again, Ye Qiu went straight to the indoor training ground, and at this time, the players were already marveling at the team's generosity in the indoor training ground, and at the same time, they were also lamenting the advanced nature of this indoor training ground.

This is an indoor training field larger than a standard football field, with equipment rooms or lounges on the left and right sides, as well as some seats on the sidelines, and the entire training ground is full of surveillance to capture every subtle movement of the players in training on the field.

The roof of the shed is transparent, even on a cloudy day, it will not affect the light in the room, but still turn on the lights, raise your head, you can see the rain flowing along the roof to both sides, there is a very complete drainage system around, do not worry about the problem of venue drainage, and even the geothermal and exhaust systems of the entire indoor training ground are very advanced.

If you turn on the geothermal heat in rainy and snowy weather, the air will become very humid and oppressive, which will make the players very uncomfortable, so the ventilation system is also very important for indoor training grounds, and Tottenham Hotspur has taken this into account and invested in creating an exhaust system for this purpose, which is not available in other indoor football venues, and many even have no geothermal at all.

"The old rule, the training session in the morning is restorative training, everyone reports to the research center by themselves, and then comes back to warm up, everyone should know the rules of the Tao, be conscious, go ahead" After Ye Qiu walked in, he looked at the time, and arranged the training task for the morning.

Intensive training! The first few days were always relatively relaxed, so Ye Qiu didn't mind being open to the media at all.

When the players returned from the physical examination of the research center, the staff of the training base also walked into the indoor training ground with the reporters who had walked around the base, which immediately caused an uproar among the reporters.

From the outside, this indoor training ground is a work of art, but inside you'll find that you're sure to be amazed.

It's not just the light, it's the entire arch of the curve, the transparent covering film, the bright but not dazzling light, and the comfortable air quality, which makes you have to admire Tottenham Hotspur's investment in this aspect.

If there were still people who suspected that Tottenham Hotspur, the Theorebold training base, cost more than 80 million, or even rumored to be more than 100 million, then as long as you enter here and take a look at so many advanced equipment and so many modern hardware, it will make you find that it is indeed worth so much.

And across the road from the Theobold training base, the new school building of St. Mary's has begun to start, which was originally a quiet grove, and now there is the Theobold training base of Tottenham Hotspur, and St. Mary's School, it is really a good place to be full of scholarly sports

"Mr. Ye Qiu" Sheen Ingle from The Guardian seemed to sense something, spied a good moment, and walked over.

"Hello, Mr. Ingle," Ye Qiu greeted him with a smile.

The lad is a talent, he is a well-known journalist in the Guardian newspaper, and most importantly, he is a big fan of Tottenham Hotspur, although he also criticizes the team and gives some pertinent advice, but on the whole, he has a lot of goodwill towards Tottenham.

"Why does it seem like there are fewer people?" Sheehan Ingle asked.

Ye Qiu was on the side of his head, "Less? No, Frank Ribery is at the research center, you should have met."

Sheen Ingle raised his eyebrows, he still knows this Chinese better, this is deliberately pretending to be stupid, so he smiled, "You know who I'm talking about, right?" ”

Ye Qiu also smiled and nodded: "Perhaps, Sheen, you can meet them in Carrington"

Carrington? Manchester United? Or Manchester City?

Sheehan Ingle's reaction was indeed fast enough, and he immediately realized that Ye Qiu was hinting, and it was a very obvious hint, but Carrington, Manchester, has two football club training bases, one is Manchester City and the other is Manchester United, and the two sworn enemies are separated by a wall, and I heard that they often kick the ball around each other and play around.

But soon, Sheehan Ingle realised it had to be Manchester City.

The Manchester team, which has just been acquired by the Abu Dhabi consortium from the United Arab Emirates, has a lot of money, and is currently buying and poaching outside in order to strengthen the strength of the team, and has invested more than 50 million euros, but it is said that it is still not satisfied, and I heard that it is preparing to come a few big ones.

Could it really be them?

Sheen Ingle immediately realized that this was the news that Ye Qiu deliberately leaked to him, so he nodded at Ye Qiu gratefully and retreated, but he didn't tell anyone else, but took out his Zeus II mobile phone and secretly let his colleagues in Manchester pay attention to Manchester City when others were not paying attention.

According to his estimates, it should not be in Carrington, and the two sides may still be talking about personal treatment, so it is likely to be in one of the locations in Manchester, or maybe in London, but this is definitely a big hit.

But looking at Ye Qiu again, he seems to be in a good mood, and he doesn't feel lost at all because the player is poached, judging from his reaction, the price given by Manchester City must satisfy him, and it won't affect the team, so

"Tomorrow's front-page headlines are here," laughs Sheehan Ingle.

He admires Ye Qiu more and more now, because he himself rose with the help of Ye Qiu, in the past half a year or so, it was Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur who kept giving him some private information and intelligence, which made him more and more valued within the Guardian, and gradually became a well-known reporter within the Guardian.

Ye Qiu noticed that Sheehan Ingle was texting, and he also smiled, similar to Sheen Ingle's partner, Tottenham Hotspur and him Ye Qiu have a lot, but some are not like this, and some are purely personal relationships, for example, Ye Qiu has a very good relationship with Martin Samuel of The Times, and there are also very famous tactical analysis writers in Europe, Jonathan Wilson, who is the pillar columnist of the Guardian, and has written football tactical epics such as ‖Turning the Pyramid].

Among them, Jonathan Wilson is an analyst of Tottenham Hotspur tactics, just past the Champions League final, he wrote five columns in five consecutive days, all of which were conducting tactical analysis, in simple terms for some interested fans to read, and was welcomed by quite a lot of people, because he himself has quite a solid tactical knowledge.

Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur interact with these people, it can't be said that they use each other, in fact, Ye Qiu welcomes their supervision and encouragement, and even he welcomes these people to criticize Tottenham Hotspur and point out the team's shortcomings, so whether it is Jonathan Wilson or Martin Samuel, or even Sheehan Ingle, they often criticize Tottenham Hotspur.

But these criticisms are well-intentioned criticisms, not casual invectives.

In the morning, the team's first training session of the new season attracted hundreds of fans, mainly because Tottenham Hotspur limited the number of fans in attendance, after all, it is impossible to accommodate so many people in the indoor training ground, which will definitely affect the team's training.

Tottenham then signed a contract with David Silva in the press conference hall of the press building, in front of all the journalists and fans who came to the scene, David Silva will play for Tottenham Hotspur for the next five years.

At the same time, Ye Qiu also announced that the team has reached a consensus on contract renewal with Van Persie, Messi, Cescea, Alves, Cech and other players, and the signing of new contracts will be completed in a short time.

Regarding Ribery's injury, Ye Qiu said that he is still waiting to see the situation, and the specific situation will have to wait until mid-August, and another operation will be performed to remove the steel nails before he can know the truth, but he believes that Ribery will be able to return to the court soon.

After selling Arshavin, Ribery will be out for a long time with a serious injury, whether Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt attack will be affected, and whether the overall strength will decline after Tottenham Hotspur sells several key players this season, which is the question of many reporters present.

Ye Qiu also answered this one by one, saying that Tottenham Hotspur will not be affected by the departure of players in local positions, the overall strength of the team has not been weakened, and the goal of the new season will still be to launch an impact on the league championship, but the team also hopes to continue to win in the Champions League.

'Winning the Champions League last season was like a dream for us, and my players and I are really looking forward to having another chance to be at the top of Europe and I hope to win the trophy again in the new season'

As for the Premier League title, Ye Qiu also said that he and Tottenham Hotspur are bound to win.

"Actually, we almost won the Premier League title last season, but in the end we passed by it, we carefully analyzed the reasons for it, and summarized the lessons of the past two seasons丨I firmly believe that the regrets of the past two seasons will bring us more help in the new season."

At the same time, Ye Qiu also announced that the team will go to BMW's London headquarters to participate in the car donation ceremony at noon today, and will go to Stratford in the afternoon to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the five-star hotel, and all reporters are also welcome.

In the face of Tottenham Hotspur's big moves one after another, all the reporters present were a little surprised and full of admiration.

If you look at it purely from the perspective of team management and operation, Ye Qiu's team is indeed quite good.

It's just that, in the final analysis, football clubs still have to rely on results to speak, and I don't know if Tottenham Hotspur can continue last season's glory, otherwise, no matter how good the off-field operation is, it will not help.
