The Cobham training base is also the embodiment of the power of money.

In the early days, it covered 130 acres and had fifteen football fields.

It was expanded in '08-12 and now covers 153 acres with 17 pitches the size of Stamford Bridge.

The facilities are advanced and well-equipped.

Cesar Azpilicueta often takes selfies with a variety of state-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment.

The only drawback: the area of the locker rooms and the gym is "relatively" small.

"Why are there so many little black eggs in our youth echelon?"

"In the entire youth system, 82 per cent of the young players are black? How many language teachers do the youth academy still have? ”

"Blue Planet Project."

"Boss, if Brexit is successful, there will be more and more whites in the club's academy ranks."

“.”

In 2017, "most" clubs in the Premier League did not need a manager to interfere with the youth system.

The division of labor is clear.

The first team belongs to the first team.

The youth echelon belongs to the youth echelon.

If players are to be redeployed, the coaching staff on both sides will have to go through a series of communication processes, especially for Chelsea, where there are many changes of manager.

Of course, Tuchel and Dino are not in a position to toss the academy now, and they have to use their results to complete the "life" first.

Group Match.

Part of the area of the training ground was covered with obstacle bars, which changed from "rectangular" to "∝".

The Chelsea players played awkwardly.

Due to the obstacles, the wide players had to turn around and run inside.

The midfield formation could not be spread out in parallel.

Most of the time it can only be passed backwards.

After 20 minutes, the match ended.

Players gathered on the sidelines to rehydrate.

Moses was a little skeptical: "I don't feel like I can play football anymore."

Marcos shook his head: "The coaching staff is set up to let us adapt to high pressure on the wing!" I adapt to the transfer and advancement of the middle part. ”

The duo were the wings of the Conte era, and with the wave of the three-centre-back system, they once became an important role in the analysis of the big European wars.

"It's an era of a huge increase in the weight of resources in the wings."

"That's right, our opponents in the first round of the league were Burnley, and they had a 4-4-2 tie last season, so we suffered enough!"

"The coaching staff is now asking the team to do targeted training!"

This way and so and that and that.

Real Madrid's top academy student finally summed it up: "The leader is to let us play in Burnley's game"

Tuchel interrupted with his hands in his pockets: 'No, you two won't start. ”

The German is convinced that short training sessions do not yield immediate results.

Against Burnley, he will take a better plan.

A moment later.

The obstacle bars on the turf are rearranged.

Dino dragged a basket of "mini" footballs.

Except for Li Kang, Cesc Fabregas, Pedro and Morata, the rest of the players have to stay and practice passing and receiving the ball in a high-pressure environment.

Immediately after that, the technical consultant also came to work.

Cech put on his tank hat again, held a "sponge shield" and led the three goalkeepers to a "high-altitude catch-and-shoot practice".

Especially when it came to "confronting" Courtois, Cech worked very hard.

The Chelsea players are feeling good: compared to Antonio Conte's hellish physical training, Tuchel's training style is awkward, but it is very targeted and more relaxed.

There is no one better than the other.

In essence, it is the difference between a team's single-line operation and multi-line operation.

Of course, Tuchel didn't let his players learn to crawl like he did during his time with Dort.

Half past two in the afternoon.

Thomas Tuchel patiently explained the link between training and the team's tactical play.

There was no delay, and Dino soon announced the end of the training.

The players have different minds.

Alvaro Morata, Willian and N'Golo Kante are excited to see themselves and the team get stronger and stronger under Tuchel.

Some people are worried: the competition for positions in the team is getting more and more fierce.

Courtois had a complicated expression, he didn't know how he would face Cech in his next training.

The story of the two is a long story.

Brief recap:

After the Belgian goalkeeper returned to Chelsea, he pestered Cech for advice, and the two practiced together to make up for weaknesses.

'Cech was my teacher and I am grateful for his guidance and help.

'Cech has helped me integrate into the Chelsea family.

After the skill rose sharply, the goods forced the palace coaching staff and the club to get rid of Cech, and said in a public interview:

'Cech is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but if I had him, I would have been out of town and there is no place for him at Chelsea.

But it doesn't matter.

This is no longer the case.

Courtois has long been in the thick of other big clubs.

There are no conditions for forcing the uterus.

But there is a better place to go.

Li Kang did not go home, he and his assistant went directly to the suburbs of London to shoot a set of shampoo commercials.

He tried it for a week and it felt okay.

In 2017, it was not uncommon for athletes to endorse shampoos.

Cristiano Ronaldo is clear.

Messi endorses Head & Shoulders.

However, players like Arjen Robben and Wayne Rooney are hardly likely to be advertised for shampoos.

Half an hour later.

Li Kang arrived at the filming base.

The advertising director is not a familiar beard, but a mustache.

"What a healthy and bushy brunette, Duang! You don't even need to add too many special effects in the post-production stage! ”

There is still no female partner.

Shampoo ads can't always be a couple of men and women washing their hair together, right?

Li Kang can't even remember the last time he filmed an advertisement with his female partner.

The female partners he has met are very independent and sober, and if they don't get a positive response from him, they will reduce contact.

The job of advertising shooting is simple.

Li Kang washed his hair several times in the afternoon.

Then he changed into his jersey, sprinted and jumped, and repeated the action of shaking his head to attack the goal more than a dozen times before he achieved the most satisfactory effect for the film crew.

Compared with the endorsement fee of millions of euros a year, this kind of work is too easy.

The rest of the content will be handed over to the special effects according to the shooting plan.

"Handsome!"

"I see your hair glowing!"

"My whole family is your fan!"

The mustachioed director kept bragging and finally pulled out the Leverkusen, Arsenal and Chelsea jerseys from his backpack

Li Kang smiled and did not refuse.

The assistant picked up a newspaper next to him and muttered:

"2017/18 Premier League weekly salary rankings."

"Second place, Sanchez."

"Third place, Kane."

“.”

"Fifth, Pogba."

"Sixth, Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City finally gave him a raise."

"Manchester United's Ibrahimovic has taken the initiative to ask for a pay cut? It's great! ”

"Wayne Rooney is also good, in order to reduce the salary pressure on Manchester United, he has returned to Everton!"

'De Gea's weekly salary is only £180,000? Oh! Manchester United is ready to renew his contract at the end of the year, and his weekly salary will rise to 370,000 pounds! ”

Next.

Courtois is on strike!

The opening match of the new Premier League season is about to start, and this is a burden, so let's stop doing it!

Chelsea FC blew up.

"You can't let Caballero, who is about to be forty years old, be the main goalkeeper, right?"

"We're running out of time for reinforcements."

'The whole world now knows what Chelsea are lacking and it's hard for us to buy the right goalkeeper.

"Lee, which goalkeeper would you most like to be teammates with?"

"Neuer? No, no, no, we can't buy him, no matter how much it costs. ”

Stamford Bridge, a mess.
