The Cobham training base is also a manifestation of the power of money.
In the early days, it occupied an area of 130 acres and had fifteen football fields.
It was continuously expanded from 2008 to 2012, and now covers an area of 153 acres, with 17 courts the same size as Stamford Bridge.
The facilities are advanced and complete.
Azpilicueta often takes selfies with various advanced medical and rehabilitation equipment.
The only drawback is that the locker room and gym are "relatively" small.
"Why are there so many little black eggs in our youth echelon?"
"In the entire youth training system, 82% of young players are black? Do youth training academies still need so many language teachers?"
"Project Blue Planet."
"Boss, if England succeeds in leaving the European Union, there will be more and more white people in the youth training echelons of clubs."
"."
In 2017, "most" clubs in the Premier League do not need a head coach to interfere in the youth training system.
The division of labor is clear.
The first team is the first team.
The youth echelon belongs to the youth echelon.
If players are to be transferred, the coaching staff on both sides must go through a series of communication processes, especially Chelsea, which changes coaches very frequently.
Of course, Tuchel and Dino are now in no condition to toss the youth training. They must first use their record to "extend their lives."
Group competition.
Part of the training ground is covered by obstacle poles, changing from a "rectangular" to a "∝-shaped".
Chelsea players played awkwardly.
Due to the obstacle, the wide players had to turn back and run inside.
The midfield formation cannot 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 drink water.
Moses was a little doubtful about life: "I feel like I can't play football anymore."
Marcos shook his head: "The arrangement of the coaching staff is to adapt us to the high pressure on the wing! To adapt to the passing and advancing in the middle."
The two were the wings of the Conte era. Along with the wave of the three-center-back system, they once became important roles in the analysis of major European war reports.
"This is an era in which the weight of wing defensive resources has increased significantly."
"Yes, our opponent in the first round of the league is Burnley. Their parallel 4-4-2 last season made us suffer a lot!"
"What the coaching staff is asking the team to do now is targeted training!"
This and this and that.
The top student from Real Madrid's youth training finally concluded: "The boss wants us to win against Burnley."
Tuchel put his hands in his pockets and interrupted: "No, you two will not start."
The German firmly believes that short training sessions do not yield immediate results.
Against Burnley, he will adopt a more optimal deployment.
After a while.
Handicap poles on turf repositioned.
Dino dragged a basket of "mini" footballs.
Except for Li Kang, Fabregas, Pedro, and Morata, all the remaining players have to stay to practice passing and receiving in a high-pressure environment.
Immediately afterwards, the technical consultant also came to work.
Cech put on his tank cap again, held up a "sponge shield", and led three goalkeepers to conduct "high-altitude ball-catching confrontation exercises."
Especially when "confronting" Courtois, Cech worked particularly hard.
Chelsea players feel pretty good: Compared with Conte's hellish physical training, Tuchel's training method, although awkward, is highly targeted and more relaxed.
There is no better or worse.
In essence, it is the difference between a team's single-line operations and multi-line operations.
Of course, Tuchel did not let the players learn to behave like dogs like during the Dortmund period.
Half past two in the afternoon.
Tuchel patiently explained to everyone the connection between the training content and the team’s tactics.
There was no delay, and Dino quickly announced that the training was over.
Players have different minds.
Morata, William, and Kanter are dedicated and honest people who are very excited and believe that under the coaching of Tuchel, they and the team will become stronger and stronger.
Some people are worried: the competition for positions in the team is getting more and more intense.
Courtois had a complicated expression. He didn't know how he would face Cech in the next training session.
The story between the two is a long one.
A quick review:
After the Belgian goalkeeper returned to Chelsea that year, Pidianpian pestered Cech for advice, and the two practiced together to make up for his weaknesses.
"Cech is my teacher and I am grateful for his guidance and help."
"Cech helped me integrate into the Chelsea family."
After his skills increased significantly, this guy forced the coaching staff and the club to demand Cech be kicked out, and said in a public interview:
"Cech is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but if I were him, I would have wised up and left a long time ago. There is no place for him at Chelsea."
But that's okay.
Today is different from the past.
Courtois has long been flirting with other wealthy clubs.
There are no conditions for forced uterus.
But there are better places to go.
Li Kang did not go home. He and his assistant went directly to the suburbs of London to shoot a shampoo commercial.
He tried it for a week and it seemed fine.
In 2017, it’s not uncommon for athletes to endorse shampoo.
Cristiano Ronaldo endorses Qingyang.
Messi endorses Head & Shoulders.
However, it is difficult for players like Robben and Rooney to receive shampoo advertisements.
Half an hour later.
Li Kang arrived at the filming base.
The advertising director is not the familiar mustache, but a mustache.
“What a healthy and thick black hair, Duang! You don’t even need to add too many special effects in post-production!”
There is still no female partner.
Shampoo ads can’t feature a man and woman washing their hair together, right?
Li Kang couldn't even remember the last time he filmed an advertisement with his female partner.
The female partners he has come into contact with are very independent and sober. If they don't get a positive response from him, they will reduce contact.
Advertising shooting work is simple.
Li Kang washed his hair several times throughout the afternoon.
Then he put on his jersey, sprinted, jumped, and shook his head to attack the goal. This action was repeated more than ten times before the film crew was most satisfied with the effect.
Compared with the millions of euros in endorsement fees a year, this kind of work is really easy.
The rest of the content is all left to special effects according to the shooting plan.
"Awesome!"
"I see your hair is glowing!"
"My whole family is your fan!"
The mustachioed director kept bragging and finally took out Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal and Chelsea jerseys from his backpack
Li Kang smiled and did not refuse.
The assistant picked up a newspaper nearby and muttered:
"2017/18 Premier League weekly salary rankings."
"Second place, Sanchez."
"Third place, Kane."
"."
"Fifth place, Pogba."
"Sixth place, De Bruyne, Manchester City finally gave him a salary increase."
"Ibrahimovic of Manchester United took the initiative to ask for a salary cut? How great!"
"Rooney is also good. In order to reduce Manchester United's salary pressure, he returned to Everton!"
"De Gea's weekly salary is only 180,000 pounds? Oh! Manchester United is planning to renew his contract at the end of the year, and the weekly salary will increase to 370,000 pounds!"
The next day.
Courtois stopped training!
The opening game of the new Premier League season is about to start. This guy is putting down his burden and quitting!
Chelsea Football Club exploded.
"We can't let Caballero, who is about to turn 40, be the main goalkeeper, right?"
"We don't have much time left to recruit."
"The whole world now knows what Chelsea are lacking and it is difficult for us to buy the right goalkeeper."
"Lee, which goalkeeper would you most like to be a teammate with?"
"Noel? No, no, no, no matter how much money we spend, we can't buy him."
Stamford Bridge was in chaos.
