8. Stamford Bridge is not home

If it is those classic martial arts TV series, this should be the picture here:

Long Shute ran on the grass, shot in front of the goal, and fought against his teammates on the training ground... Then his figure gradually grew, and a line of words appeared below: Ten years later.

——Of course, this place is not ten years, but only two years later.

Time flies, and it is May 2007 in a blink of an eye.

Longshute is over 17 years old.

If Li Bing and Li Tie see him again, they will definitely be so surprised that they can't speak.

After two years of training, the once thin Chinese boy became darker, but his physique was much stronger than when he first came to the UK. He was 1.76 meters tall, 72 kilograms in weight, and the muscle groups on his limbs were much more full and firmer. Although he was not as sharp as those bodybuilders, his whole body showed vitality and strength.

After the first year of training, in the second year, as his physical condition improved, he gradually entered the regular lineup of u18 and won the u18 league championship with his teammates. Although he was not a main player, he also got many opportunities to play.

Head coach Rodgers admires him very much. The coach of any team will not hate a player who spares no effort in both competition and training. What's more, this young player has the politeness of East Asians, so Rodgers and his assistants will not be stingy in giving him guidance.

Although Long Shute's speed is getting faster and faster, his skills under his feet are limited.

It is no wonder that England players all started to be in football at the age of seven or eight, or even four or five, and received guidance from professional coaches since childhood. Long Shute, who entered the football school at the age of thirteen, naturally could not catch up with such a huge gap in just two years.

But his progress has actually surprised Rogers.

He has abundant physical energy. As long as he goes to the court, he seems to have endless energy. He can run from the first second to the last second, without any concern about whether he will get tired and cramps after the game.

Moreover, he fully demonstrated the fine virtues of the Chinese people's hard work. Whether it is a central advancement, a defensive midfielder, a full-time forward, a winger, or even a full-back, he can play 120% of his attitude without complaints and do his best to complete the tasks assigned to him by the coach.

The most unignorable thing is that he can reach a 100-meter sprint speed of 10.68 seconds. Such data is enough to be called a fast horse among European and American football players.

Even if his dribbling is a bit bad and his shooting level is not qualified, but as long as he has such speed, he will be the most terrifying sharp knife in counterattack attack!

-

Longshute's progress is obvious, which may be more intuitive from the data.

Before joining Chelsea's youth training camp, his total score on the system was barely 49, but two years later, he has risen to 59 and is about to reach the passing line.

This is especially true in some key values.

Strength 12, acceleration 16, sprint 18, reaction 15, balance 15, bounce 12, endurance 15, physique 16, in terms of body, his comprehensive attributes increased from 63 to 74, and his outstanding speed has indeed become the weapon he relies on the most.

Consciousness rose from 44 to 56, and will also rise from 61 to 69. Technically, his increase was slightly slow: 9 ball possession, 7 back-foot, 10 passes, 8 shots, 7 long shots, 8 dribbles, and 10 interceptions. None of them was particularly prominent. Although the overall increase from 33 to 42, it was still a difficult level to pass.

This may be blamed on Rodgers, because although the head coach is good at selecting young players with potential, he is not good at technical training - you can't expect a nine-rate player who retired due to injury in his early 20s to train a superstar with comprehensive skills...

With the entry of the regular lineup of u18, Long Shute also obtained a new apprenticeship contract a year ago, with a weekly salary from 60 pounds to 100 pounds, an increase of nearly 70%. Converted to RMB, his monthly salary has exceeded 5,000 yuan. If it was in China in 2007, it would not be too low.

In addition to these increases, a large category has been added to its attribute column called [OTC Impact], but the data here is bleak:

The right to speak in the locker room: 3;

Club values: 2;

Fan reputation: 1;

Media Focus: 1;

Commercial value: 0…

There is no way. Although Chelsea is a new Premier League, and although the English media claim to be omnipresent, they will not focus too much on the U18 team, nor will they pay attention to a Chinese player who can't even sit firmly in the main lineup.

As for Chinese media thousands of miles away, they would rather pay attention to Dong Fangzhuo, a peerless genius affiliated with Manchester United, and then imagine King Dong "leading" Rooney, Ronaldo, Giggs, Scholes and other stars who have been trained in the Belgian League Two...

Perhaps Long Shute should be grateful:

If he is targeted by domestic media and over-touted, he is likely to be called back by the Heilongjiang Football Association to participate in national youth competitions, or even the U18 Asian Cup qualifiers, the U18 World Cup qualifiers, etc., which will be of little help to him, and will instead waste time.

For some people, this is called winning glory for the province and the country, and it is unshirkable. However, for Long Shute, who lacks time training, what he wants to do most now is to train, train, and train quietly in London.

How could he have time to take a plane all day, and then spend two or three days to adjust the time difference, in order to participate in these doomed meaningless competitions with a group of strangers he had never met?

Moreover... the air tickets from London to China are nearly 10,000 yuan, which is definitely not a small amount for him or the Football Association in a province. Who will reimburse him for this sky-high fee?

-

Long Shute can quietly continue to improve himself at the Comba training base in Chelsea, but the manager and head coach of this club is not easy.

Portuguese Jose Mourinho is now in the biggest difficulty of his career.

Since joining Blue Bridge in 2004, he has won the Premier League championship with an undisputed attitude for two consecutive years, becoming the most popular young coach in Europe.

But the good times didn't last long. The boss Abumovic's appetite became bigger and bigger. He was no longer satisfied with winning the British Isles, but turned his attention to a wider European arena. The reason why this boss invited the Magic Bird from Porto was because he was attracted by his ability to lead Porto to win the Champions League.

But the magic bird's magic power failed one after another: in the first season, he lost to the champion Liverpool in the semi-finals; in the second season, he also lost to the champion Barcelona of that year; in the third year just ended, the Blues led by him fell at the feet of Liverpool again, and failed to win the championship again in the league, and only won the runner-up - Ferguson, who had endured humiliation for three years, finally regained his trophy.

The media in the entire British Isles are circulating wildly, and the patience of Abu boss is almost gone, especially when Mourinho has not even saved the league, he may be kicked away at any time...

Although Chelsea Club, Mourinho himself, and the players all scoffed at these groundless news and stood up to express their opposition, Mourinho himself knew that this was not fake news.

It is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and honor. No matter which country, whether it is doing business, politics, or even family, this is an irrefutable truth.

The head coach and the boss behind the scenes compete for power to control the team, but the arm can never twist the thigh.

Mourinho knew this, but he still had to make a final effort. He wanted to prove to the world that his achievements were not made up of huge rubles.

So he began to clean up redundant workers this summer.

Cameroon Wanjin Oil Gremy is the first first-line player to be sent away by Chelsea this season, and his departure also marks the official beginning of Chelsea's major purge.

Fullback Glen Johnson was sold to Newcastle United for 4.5 million pounds.

Defensive star Las Diyala was almost half sold and half sent to Arsenal.

Two substitute goalkeepers Heidman and Kalambe were terminated at the same time.

Although Argentine veteran Peron is famous, he has not escaped the fate of being cleansed.

The core main player Alger Robben was given to Real Madrid, which has coveted him for a long time, for a low price of £22.5 million. This is definitely a transfer that fans hate.

In addition to the first-team players, Mourinho also made a big move and made arbitrary decision, making all the players he disliked in the reserve team and the echelons of each level.

He had no time to observe or communicate one-on-one with the players he fired. He just read the coaches' reports and completed the job.

Among them is... Longshute.
