Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 173 Chelsea in the new season (3)

Chelsea Football Club, on the first team training ground.

The players gathered around the field, looking forward to the direction of the left goal, where a very interesting contest was about to take place-the two heavyweight strikers signed by the team in the summer were going to compete with their ability to set the ball and shoot long distances.

In the office building on the right side of the court, Mourinho and Abrahimovic also watched the match with great interest. Although Mourinho tried his best to introduce Wang Li, in fact, due to Wang Li's appearance There is too little time. Except for Wang Li's outstanding performance in the European Cup and his high scoring rate last season, he has very little other information. Even his good position and technical characteristics are confusing.

The reason why Mourinho joined Wang Li's battle is probably more important because Wang Li's liquidated damages are only 1000 million pounds!In other words, the introduction of this young player who is as famous as Rooney is definitely a business that only makes money and not loses. In the end, Mourinho did not expect that Chelsea succeeded!
You must know that many English teenagers will choose to join the so-called rich clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool, and Chelsea is not very popular in the Premier League. What's more, this teenager has no pressure from the club because of the low liquidated damages , this success is indeed surprising.

On the day when Wang Li's transfer was negotiated, Mourinho resolutely gave up the negotiation with the PSV team about the teenager Mattya Kežman. As a champion coach who has just won the Treble Crown, Mourinho O is well aware of the fact that there are no worthless men under the prestige. The player who can get the top scorer in the European Cup in the England team is by no means lower than the unknown Kezhiman.

Today, Mourinho originally came to the club chairman to explain the transfer situation, but he did not expect to see such a good show!
How could they have no interest in this kind of thing?

In the eyes of many players who are not familiar with Wang Li, this thin teammate will inevitably choose to play a curve ball, scoring with a shooting angle and a strange arc.As for the big black man Drogba next to him, he will definitely choose to hit the goal vigorously. No one has ever heard of this "humanoid monster" with the ability to kick free kicks, and judging by his size, he has nothing to do with technical football. Not to the side.

"No, go further, yes! That's it, a few meters back!" Thomas kept yelling in front of the door to ask Drogba to adjust his position.

At this time, the ball was already several meters outside the left corner of the penalty area. Although there was no barrier of people, it was not easy to score from such a long distance.The players next to him also looked at Thomas incomprehensibly, "Is it because they are afraid of making a fool of themselves? Well, it must be the case. It is understandable for young rookies to have such thoughts." '

Drogba looked at Thomas suspiciously, 'Is this kid already scared?But I haven't played yet!Sure enough, he is a timid goalkeeper. I don't know how the head coach brought him into the Chelsea team. '

Not only does he think so, but Mourinho and Abramovich by the window are also very puzzled. This goalkeeper transferred from Bristol Rovers is said to have created seven consecutive games without losing in League One. The record of the ball, even if it is only in the League One, is not easy for a goalkeeper, but how can he be so 'cowardly'?
Although Drogba didn't understand, he still slammed the ball backwards. Anyway, this is a competition, and his shooting position is the same as that of the black-haired boy. In this way, everyone's difficulty will increase, and there is no unfairness at all. The problem.Although he just wanted to use this opportunity to show his strength and build a good relationship with his teammates, he was competitive on the football field, and Drogba didn't want to lose, especially to such a weak player. oriental.

Following everyone's gaze, Drogba took two steps up and swung his right foot vigorously. Under this force, the ball flew straight towards the left corner of the goal.In fact, Drogba has never practiced free kicks at all. He just uses his own strength to hit the goal vigorously. He believes that as long as the ball flies to a certain angle, it will be difficult for the goalkeeper to save it.

But the result was obviously beyond everyone's expectations! !
The new goalkeeper reacted very quickly. When Drogba just kicked the ball, he even made a move to the left!
There was a muffled sound of 'touch', and the ball was saved from the baseline by Thomas with one hand. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the ball was easily saved from the baseline by Thomas! !

This made the surrounding teammates and the two club executives change their views on this new goalkeeper!
"Alan, come on, get one!"

"Alan, kick hard!"

Drogba didn't score, so it was Wang Li's turn.

Unlike Drogba, who is a pure rookie in the team, Bridget, Lampard and others are already very familiar with Wang Li. When they saw Wang Li going to play, they immediately cheered for him. Perhaps, this is a Qualified audience performance bar.

Besides, they have been training and playing with Wang Li for nearly a month, and they have already been deeply impressed by Wang Li's powerful shots. Not to mention the fierce-looking Drogba, even if Roberto Carlos is present, they I don't think he can win against Wang Li in the big bang.

'come on!come on! Ignoring the cheers and cheers from the side, Thomas, standing in front of the door, secretly cheered himself up. For him, Wang Li's shot was a challenge to his own ability!
After practicing Fuhu Boxing, Thomas felt that his sensitivity and reaction ability became stronger and stronger, and he could even use the moves in the game to block some must-go goals. Because of this, he had the opportunity to come to Chelsea. .Perhaps his teammates only saw him playing better and better day by day, but the hard work he put in was not comparable to ordinary people.

Now, although Thomas still has some headaches about Wang Li's shooting, he is not really afraid, and this time is also the time to test his achievements in the past six months. For him, this is very important!
Standing in front of the ball, Wang Li looked at Thomas with a serious face and secretly gave him a thumbs up.Just relying on a set of Shaolin basic boxing techniques can improve the goalkeeping ability so much, which shows that he is far beyond the comparison of ordinary people in terms of hard work and talent.

The position where Drogba shot just now is about 35 meters away from the goal, and there is no obstruction of the wall. Wang Li is confident that after shooting from here, the error of the ball flying to the goal will not exceed one meter!

For Wang Li, it doesn't matter whether this kind of shot run-up or not, it can't increase the strength of hitting the ball at all, because most of the strength on his legs comes from the addition of internal force of the body.Therefore, under the eyes of everyone, Wang Li stood in place, raised his right leg, and kicked the lower edge of the ball, and the ball flew towards the right side of the goal like a shell! !
Thomas originally thought he was capable of intercepting Wang Li's shot, but the moment Wang Li kicked, he knew he was wrong!If this kind of ball speed is not predicted in advance, he will not be able to react at all. He can only symbolically pounce to the right, and the ball flies past the edge of his right finger.

Fortunately, the ball brushed the goal post and went out of the baseline, and Wang Li missed the ball.

Even Abrahimovic, who was looking down from upstairs, couldn't help but yelled "it's a pity". The ball was too fast, but it didn't score in the end, which really made people feel disappointed.

Of course, there are still many opportunities, and it is Drogba's turn next.

After seeing Wang Li's shot just now, Drogba no longer dared to underestimate his opponent. He knew that he might be capsized in the gutter today.But Drogba didn't care too much. After all, although Wang Li is also a striker like him, he is almost undoubtedly the main striker in the current Chelsea team. Players worth 400 million pounds are placed on the bench. Besides, he is the only powerful center forward in the team. The ability to shoot from long distances is not important to the 'penalty killer' at all.

Running up, shooting, two steps, and another strong volley!
Thomas struggled to make a save to the left, and the ball was saved out of the baseline again, which made Drogba a little stunned. He couldn't believe that his two shots were saved, and he was not the team's No. [-] goalkeeper!
Cech on the sidelines also thought in his heart that if Thomas continued to play like this, perhaps his No. [-] goalkeeper position would be in jeopardy...

The shot just missed the goal post, which made Wang Li feel a little pity, but this time he still volleyed vigorously, and the ball flew to the right again. The whole process almost perfectly replicated the shot just now, even Thomas' reaction All the same, but with different results!

The ball rubbed against the goal post and flew into the net. In the shooting competition, Wang Li took the lead!

"Alan, come on! Teach that big black guy a lesson and let him know how good you are!!"

"Come on! Alan, you are the best!"

……

At this time, there was a burst of shouting from around the stadium. Wang Li turned his head and found that there were already many fans around the stadium. Among them, Wang Li even saw his group of loyal female fans Legion! !

'Alan, come on!we love you! ! 'A large banner has been unfolded, but the slogan in it made Chelsea's teammates feel deeply jealous of Wang Li. Perhaps as Wang Li's teammate, it is also a very tragic thing, because he will take away most of them. The hearts of female fans.

Under such circumstances, Drogba took the initiative to come over and asked to stop the contest. After two rounds, he already knew that, at least in terms of long-range shots, he was by no means the opponent of this young teenager. Fans, he doesn't want to be a stepping stone for Wang Li to "show off".

'Why do Europeans like this kind of little boy! ! ' Drogba said secretly in his heart.Listen to what those fans are saying?Big ugly black guy?Anyone who hears this title will be extremely upset. You know, when Drogba was in Côte d'Ivoire, he was chased by many female fans, but now he has become an ugly black big man. How does this make him balance his mind?

But under such circumstances, he could only secretly despise Wang Li in his heart...

"That goalkeeper is very good, Jose, your vision is really amazing!" In the office building, Abramovich said to Mourinho with a smile.

After watching the simple competition just now, he was very impressed with Thomas. Maybe Wang Li's shooting is very threatening, but his ability has already been shown in the European Cup. Of course, Abramovich also has a certain understanding of him. What surprised him even more was that the new goalkeeper was able to easily save Drogba's two long-range shots. This kind of reaction ability is rare even in the Premier League.

"Thank you for your compliment, sir. If there is nothing else, I will go to the stadium to see these players." Mourinho nodded with a smile and replied politely.

"OK then."

Looking at the back of Mourinho's departure, Abramovich felt a little regretful. The new head coach has done a very good job in all aspects, but his temper is a bit stubborn.And he's a workaholic, it's really hard to chat with him.

'Maybe that's true of talented people? Abramovich secretly thought, after these days of contact, it is undeniable that Mourinho is indeed very talented, at least in the position of head coach, few people can do better than him, but everything depends on the team What he cares about is the team's results.

You must know that the annual salary of 500 million pounds is not something you can get casually. Without the corresponding strength, Abrahimovic will definitely fire him without hesitation.Of course, if this workaholic can really bring the team to the top of the world, no matter how bad his temper is, Abramovich can bear it, because in his heart, the whole Chelsea belongs to him, and the team's good performance is of course his Credit, but if the grades are poor, then it is another matter.

As for who is behind the scapegoat?Is there even a question?
Of course it is the most expensive head coach in the world - Mr. Jose Mourinho! !
…………

On the training ground, the Chelsea players finally officially met with the head coach for the first time in the new season. According to the practice of various clubs, of course, the new players are introduced first.

There are many new players this year, Drogba, Wang Li, Petr Cech, Ferreira, Ruben and Carvalho have not yet reported to the club due to personal issues.

Ferreira is Mourinho's main rear general in the Porto team. He was almost single-handedly promoted by Mourinho, but this year's European Cup has become a tragedy for Ferreira. His performance is really unsatisfactory, but Mourinho Rinho insisted on bringing him to Chelsea from Porto.

However, most of the players on the field didn't care about him. In most people's eyes, Ferreira belonged to the kind of resolute 'Mourinho party'. He didn't transfer to Chelsea by virtue of his strength.

On the other hand, goalkeeper Petr Cech's treatment is much better. After Mourinho's introduction, the applause was at least twice as dense as before. This is the difference in treatment.In this regard, Mourinho has nothing to do. Of course, this kind of thing still needs to be resolved by the players themselves. As long as Ferreira can show his strength, the team will definitely have a place for him. This is the real competition between professional players. .

As for Wang Li, of course the applause was the most intense. He already had a good relationship with a few England teammates in the team, and his performance on the court just now was a show for himself. In the hearts of these teammates, he Has become an indispensable member of Chelsea's new season!

…………

There is nothing new about Chelsea's daily training. Today is the first day of official training. Many players have not yet returned to the club, so Mourinho just asked the team to do some simple physical recovery training.After spending a whole month or so of vacation, the physical fitness and state of these stars have more or less declined, which requires a combination of restorative exercise and nutritious meals to recuperate.

Of course, Wang Li doesn't have this problem. Under the surprised eyes of the team doctor in today's physical examination, whether it is aerobic energy supply capacity, heart rate value, blood testosterone content, hemoglobin content and other indicators, he has exceeded the excellent line. The perfect score passed the test smoothly, and even the team doctor advised Wang Li to eat more greasy food to reduce his body's "excitement".

This result surprised Mourinho too. This young kid was really unexpected. He did not expect to maintain a moderate amount of exercise during the holidays. No wonder he can perform so well at this age.

Of course, he didn't know that it was all because of Wang Li's practice of internal exercises. The internal force running in the body would automatically remove impurities from the body. Although this process was very slow, it would definitely exceed the normal exercise level of ordinary people.

Although the team's nutritionist requires the players to eat nutritious meals every day, the unpalatable food is really hard to swallow, and today is only the first day of the team's assembly, so Bridge, Lampard, Wang Li and a few familiar England players still went to the bar to celebrate, even if it was to congratulate Wang Li for joining Chelsea.

Of course, Thomas was also brought this time, and he finally had the opportunity to walk on the London Avenue with these international players.

It's incredible to think about it. Just a year ago, he and Wang Li were just players in the Wolverhampton youth team, but now they have joined the top Premier League team together, walking with these big-name England stars. together.

"Cheers! For Allen... Oh, and Thomas!" Bridget raised his glass and said with a smile. He didn't mean to say that, but Thomas was not familiar with them and could easily be forgotten.

"Dry!"

"I think the two of you are a good match!" After drinking for a while, Wang Li looked at Bridget and Thomas, and couldn't help but say, in his opinion, they are a 'natural pair'. The 'silver men' in England may learn from each other in this regard, one is academic and the other is practical.

"What class! I don't like men!" Bridget was a little puzzled.

"If Bridget goes to make a film, I will definitely become your loyal fan. Of course, the heroine should preferably be a Japanese woman. Also, it's best not to show your image on the camera!" Thomas said with a smirk on the side.

"Japan? You like to watch that too? Hey, I planned to go there a few days ago, but Furtado always pesters me..."

"Men should be more ruthless to women. We will go together next holiday. We must have a real experience!"

"That's the deal!" Bridget said resolutely.

"However, having said that, among those actresses, who do you like the most?"

……

Wang Li, Lampard and Joe Cole looked at these two people who started to discuss this aspect, they were all silent, they looked at each other, and spread their hands in unison, they were all a little helpless, maybe they were really "born A couple', at least the two are definitely on the same page in this regard.

"Come on, cheers to Chelsea in the new season!" Lampard raised his glass and said with a smile.

"Do it, for the honor!"

Perhaps, this is the perfect start to Chelsea's new season.

Well, it should be said, if the two 'silver bugs' next to it are blocked...
