Chapter 51 Arriving in Barcelona

Barcelona, ​​Spain.

This is not the first time Lucky has come to Barcelona. Based on the Champions League, Arsenal has to come to Barcelona for an away game almost every season.

Of course, this is also due to Arsenal's frequent rivals with Barcelona.

Compared with the urban atmosphere of London's high-rise buildings, Barcelona has a more artistic atmosphere.

The whole city is square and orderly, like a chessboard.

An independent small cube forms the scale of the entire city. When viewed from the sky, it looks like a huge chessboard, giving people a sense of orderliness.

Of course, the city itself is also very artistic.

There are various colorful graffiti painted on the mottled walls. Different from the unchanging reinforced concrete walls, this place gives people a more gorgeous feeling.

And these are one of the reasons that attract a large number of tourists to this city.

Recently, a large number of fans have once again flocked to Barcelona.

Thanks to the Champions League group stage, many fans from surrounding villages, towns and foreign countries were attracted, creating a lively scene in the entire city.

Walking on the street, you can see groups of Barcelona fans everywhere.

They chanted the name of 'Messi' and swaggered through the city.

‘Barcelona! Long live! 'The slogan was shouted loudly by them.

Barcelona fans are using this aspect to cheer their team on.

Of course, there are also some specific areas where Arsenal fans from afar are also carrying out street bombing operations.

England fans are passionate, and Arsenal fans are the best among them.

With the current excellent results, it can be said that the enthusiasm of Arsenal fans has been mobilized to a great extent.

Whether they are traveling away from home or playing at home, they give back with great passion.

The crowd started from the streets and marched towards relief.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding tourist crowd also took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and occasionally shouted "come on" to fully integrate into it.

In Europe, football has long been integrated into every aspect of life, and various football cultures can be seen everywhere.

In this atmosphere, in a suburban hotel in Barcelona, ​​the entire Arsenal team stepped off the bus in front of a large number of reporters, media and cameras.

This time on the road trip, Arsenal still traveled lightly.

There are two buses in total. In addition to players and coaches, there are also accompanying staff.

In the footage, the players were the first to get out of the car, but they had no intention of greeting the media and went straight into the hotel.

Then the staff moved some equipment into the hotel.

This type of equipment includes game jerseys, shin pads, medical kits and other equipment.

"This weather is too hot."

Entering the hotel lobby, the Arsenal players could not help but breathe a sigh of relief as the cool air from the air conditioner hit them.

It was only a few steps from the bus to the hotel, but the hot weather and muggy air made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

It has been raining in London these days, so it is not very hot. There is always a slight coolness in the wind.

However, in Barcelona, ​​even the wind was sultry without any rainfall during this period.

As players, they also need to overcome these difficulties.

It is estimated that some adaptive training will be carried out at the training ground in the afternoon.

Under the arrangement of the team manager, the players completed their check-in and put their luggage and other things into the room before going downstairs to assemble.

Arsenal's gatherings have a set time, and there will be penalties for arriving late or late.

Arsenal's discipline has been extremely strict in the past, but after Mourinho's arrival, the severity has become even more severe.

But no one is dissatisfied with this. They believe that it is precisely because of this strict management method that Arsenal's discipline on the field is created.

Take the bus to the training ground again.

Arsenal have rented a training ground in Barcelona.

Originally, they contacted the Spaniards, who were very willing to rent the venue to them.

However, because the Spaniard needs to make training adjustments recently, the venue cannot be vacated, so Arsenal can only rent the Barcelona City Stadium.

This is a public stadium located in the center of Barcelona.

The entire stadium is not a single design.

Instead, it is divided into several football fields of different sizes.

The two middle courts are standard eleven-a-side courts, with some five-a-side and eight-a-side courts scattered around for young people to compete or train.

Since Arsenal has only rented the two large fields in the middle, the surrounding training venues are also in the process of being put into use.

Some youth and youth training are also being carried out simultaneously.

These teenagers never imagined that one day they would be able to train with Arsenal.

Of course, there is an iron fence between them.

But even so, this is the closest they are to these top players.

Due to the arrival of Arsenal, these teenagers have almost no intention to train or play football. With their heads bent to 90 degrees, they are almost focused on Arsenal.

There is nothing the coaches can do.

Most teenagers already have problems with lack of energy, and this situation is even worse under the interference of Arsenal.

For this reason, they could only interrupt the so-called training, gather directly next to the iron net, and start watching Arsenal's training.

Generally speaking, the coaches still give some explanations, which can be regarded as high-end teaching.

"Pay attention to Kai's movements. When he retreats, he is not running back, but after observing, he decides his running direction. This is also an issue I have always emphasized. Even when defending, he cannot give up. observe!"

"This attack is even more obvious. Pay attention to Kai's observation times."

Under the instruction of a coach, all the little carrot heads stared at Lucky.

Under his watch, Lucai made more than nine observations in less than two seconds from receiving the ball to releasing the ball.

Of course, this is not done in two seconds. Before catching the ball, you constantly turn your head to observe, catch the ball, release the ball, and then observe.

"Won't he faint?"

A white, fat child of about seven or eight years old said with a surprised look on his face.

He also tried to observe in the field, but after turning his head several times to observe, his head became dizzy.

In this regard, the coach also grinned and didn't know how to explain it.

At this time, in Arsenal's training ground, the players also completed their daily training.

After a short rest, they began to pack their bags and prepare to leave.

"It's only been less than an hour. Is the training over?"

a child asked curiously.

Most of their training is based on two hours, thinking that professional players will have more training time, but judging from the situation of this training, this does not seem to be the case.

In this regard, the coach explained; "Professional players are different from you. They do not need to carry out basic training. In other words, even if they want to carry out basic training, they will not do it during training camps. It becomes the first element of their profession. It’s up to you to judge the training method you need. The club and coaching staff have limited time, and they will not waste training time on personal training.”

After hearing the coach's explanation, these children suddenly understood.

But soon they were cheering.

Because the Arsenal players had packed up their equipment and were walking past them.

"Aubameyang! Look here!"

"Kai! Can you give me your autograph?"

"Girou! Big Giroud!"

"Hummels!

"

The children called for their favorite players.

The Arsenal players are very tolerant of children. After obtaining the consent of the coaching staff, they also took photos and signed autographs with these young players.

But there are also some naughty ones among these children.

Just like one of the children wearing a Barcelona jersey, he stretched out his hand towards Giroud with an expectant look on his face, showing a look of great admiration.

When Giroud was pleased and wanted to shake hands, the child pulled his hand back, put it on his nose, and made a face with his tongue sticking out.

Clearly, this is a ‘die-hard’ Barcelona fan.

Giroud's expression was quite wonderful, while other Arsenal players couldn't help laughing.

Many people even laughed out loud, and Giroud's expression became even more embarrassed.

In the end, the Arsenal players completed the day's training, and Giroud failed to teach the kid who ran away, so everyone took the bus back to the hotel.
