Midfielder

Mourinho is now busy with Chelsea's tactical arrangements and lineup adjustments, as well as his overall control of Chelsea after the start of the season.

This guy is now busy thinking about his training plan and trying to figure out the players he has never met, while Lin Yi is obviously much more melancholy than him.

Lin Yi's vacation was not pleasant. He stayed with Faria, who was obsessed with physical training, throughout the summer.

Mendes and Mourinho were really willing to let Faria train Lin Yi's body in his own way. They only asked for results, not the process. As long as Lin Yi could stand in front of them at the beginning of the season, that would be enough.

As for Faria's training methods, Mourinho didn't care. He only gave Faria an order, that is, he needed a full-state Lin Yi.

There must be no injuries, and the physical fitness and physical confrontation must be significantly improved compared to when he was in Porto. He must adapt to the Premier League in the shortest time.

That kid was almost hand-picked by Mourinho himself. He didn't want to see Lin Yi lose his previous glory in the Premier League. Before the season started, he had to let that kid quickly adjust his body to a battle-ready state. You know, the first game was a head-on battle.

Before Mourinho had a complete understanding of Chelsea's players, these direct descendants brought from Porto were the main force he could rely on.

And Lin Yi was the main attacking point. Although the core of Chelsea's midfield is England international Lampard, in terms of creativity, the Englishman who is used to solving problems with his own shooting is obviously more like an invisible striker than a midfield commander who organizes offense.

"I would rather have that guy closer to the goal than coordinate the team's offense." This is Mourinho's evaluation of Lampard.

It's not that the guy's organizational ability is not good, but in this piece of English football soil, there are very few players with genius ideas.

It's really difficult to find someone like Gascoigne who has so many ideas. Lampard's offensive ability is outstanding, but his organizational ability is average.

This guy, like Gerrard, is physically strong and good at attacking the opponent's defense line. Two fierce Zhang Feis are no match for each other.

He is more suitable to be an offensive terminator rather than an initiator. Mourinho attaches great importance to the lubrication role of Lin Yi in the team.

At least in the midfield of Chelsea, there is really no organizer like him who can stand in the middle and directly threaten the goal.

Mourinho asked Faria to raise Lin Yi's physical confrontation in the shortest time, so that this kid will not suffer in the Premier League.

This is not the Portuguese Super League. Technology alone can solve everything. If the physical confrontation is slightly worse, you will be knocked down by others, not to mention playing football.

With the authorization of Mourinho and Mendes, Faria is now like getting an imperial edict. He can train Lin Yi according to his own ideas.

In fact, even Mourinho can't stand Faria's cruel training. That guy will never give anyone face during training.

As long as there is any problem in the implementation of the training plan, this guy's livid face will make many people retreat, including Mourinho.

However, this guy is indeed good at it, especially in physical training and intensive training. He has his own unique features. Last season, when Porto played until the Champions League, he was able to maintain a sufficient physical condition, thanks to Faria's strict training in normal times.

Even the old captain Jorge Costa, who has a long physical difficulty, can maintain a stable state. You have to admire this guy's ability.

Of course, Faria's stubborn temper is really a headache. As long as it is about training, he will not compromise with anyone.

It should be a kind of luck for Lin Yi that he was unable to participate in the European Championships at this time, otherwise, Faria's training plan would definitely kill him.

Physical reserve, after experiencing the fatigue at the end of last season, Faria now needs Lin Yi to follow his intentions and reasonably allocate his physical consumption. After all, the intensity of the Premier League games is much stronger than that of the Portuguese Super League. If you don't want to suffer fatigue injuries, you must strengthen your physical fitness.

Especially for his body, which is still in the developmental stage, he should pay attention to the growth needs and make his body stronger as soon as possible. Faria also regards physical confrontation training as the top priority. After all, if you don't have a good body, you can't play in the Premier League.

Lin Yi was almost destroyed by Faria during the two months of training, but the muscle-to-fat ratio of this kid has reached a terrifying level, and his weight has also been strengthened to a considerable extent, and his confrontation ability has improved very quickly.

As Faria himself said, "That kid is a piece of steel that can't be forged. As long as I have enough time, he will become stronger."

This guy's promise to Mourinho has now been fully fulfilled. In two months, he promised to make Lin Yi appear in front of everyone like a reborn.

When it's time for Chelsea to gather, Faria guarantees that even Mourinho will be shocked when he sees Lin Yi.

Of course, the price of this change is Lin Yi's ascetic training. In this summer, apart from watching a game, he didn't even have the opportunity to relax at the beach. The full-load training plan and business activities occupied all his time, forcing him to seize every minute.

Going to Chelsea was his own choice. Just as Lin Yi said, the main position is obtained by grabbing, not by charity, and he must fight for his life.

He didn't want people to gossip behind his back and say that he relied on Mourinho's relationship to stay in the main position. He wanted to let those who doubted his ability understand that he could make Kenyon pay 28 million pounds, which was worth every penny spent by Chelsea.

However, in these two months, that kid did let Faria see what a real tough guy is. He never complained about being tired once.

Even if Lin Yi was so tired that he could only climb into the station wagon, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and the next morning, the kid would still be full of energy.

"If I don't train this kid to death, I will be sorry for his recovery ability." Faria increased the training in the last half month for this reason. But when Lin Yi knew all this, would he be so angry that he fainted? Is it a sin to recover quickly?

But Lin Yi also benefited from this recovery ability, otherwise, two months would not be enough for a kid of his age.

Six hours of training a day is not the most painful for Lin Yi. The commercial activities arranged by Mendes for him are the most troublesome.

Nike, like packaging Ronaldo, also gave Lin Yi a comprehensive packaging method, which required Lin Yi to take time out to shoot various commercials.

Being exposed to the spotlight in front of the camera is even more painful than being exposed to direct sunlight on the training ground. This kind of life is simply not a life for human beings.

Lin Yi often has to endure the crystallization of art in the eyes of those advertising directors who think they are better than many people. Although Lin Yi only thinks that it is a pile of meaningless films, in fact, most of the time, he has even forgotten what he has played in the commercials.

He just knew that every time he finished his work, more and more reporters would surround him, asking all kinds of questions.

Hobbies? Future? Prospects in the Premier League. There were even some entertainment reporters who asked about his virginity. Lin Yi was speechless to these people.

It is undeniable that Lin Yi's fame in England is getting bigger and bigger, even though he has not played a formal Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.

But this cannot be an obstacle to his fame. The 28 million pounds that Kenyon spent alone is enough to attract many people's attention.

To others, it seems to be an opportunity to become famous, but to Lin Yi, it is simply a punishment that will kill him, and this kind of life is just the beginning.

Mendes carefully selected three endorsement contracts for Lin Yi, and they all focused on a bombardment-style publicity for this kid this summer.

In addition to Nike and Nokia, Lin Yi also has to prepare advertisements and endorsement activities for those newly signed contracts. He has been very busy this summer.

There is no way. Who made this guy so popular now? If we don't seize this time to hype him up, who knows what will happen after the next season starts.

Just like Mendes said, don't think that those advertising fees are so easy to get. You have to work hard to exchange for such high returns.

Four commercial contracts with a total of nearly 15 million euros require Lin Yi to spend more energy to deal with the media in addition to training.

This is still Mendes controlling the pace of Lin Yi's signing and endorsing products. Otherwise, he dare not guarantee that Lin Yi will have time to rest before the end of the year.

Because on his desk, the contracts inviting Lin Yi to endorse have piled up like a mountain. If all are signed, there will be at least hundreds of them.

Just listening to this number, Lin Yi is almost going crazy. He is already too busy with four, and there are still hundreds! Fuck it, damn it!

Lin Yi swore that he had never spent so much time on the plane in his life. Sometimes, in order to catch up with the notice, he had to sleep on the plane. Apart from training, this was simply the most troublesome thing for him. Everywhere he went, he had to put on a bright smile on his face.

"My leg muscles are not stiff because of training, but now the muscles on my face are basically dead." Lin Yi complained helplessly.

"If you want to be famous, just bear it." Mendes, the inhuman guy, responded with such a bland word when facing Lin Yi's complaint.

"Your uncle! It's your turn to try!" Lin Yi only realized now that Mendes, this guy, was so inhuman when he turned into a beast.

But compared to these, Lin Yi felt that the most depressed thing was probably the language problem. England is not Portugal, and not many people there understand Portuguese.

Just like Mendes said, you can't be a mute when playing football there. When facing the media, you must understand how to express yourself.

Otherwise, the British media are extremely good at quoting out of context, and there are countless people who have been wrongly killed under their writings.

And those British people are not all so friendly. At least when they pick on others' language problems, they have indeed had many bad precedents. If Lin Yi doesn't want to be the next target of ridicule, he'd better master the basic English to communicate with others in a short time.

Mourinho doesn't have this worry. He is a translator himself, especially when he assisted Robson in the Barcelona team, so language is not a problem.

But this guy doesn't have time to be Lin Yi's English teacher now. The work of putting the team together has left him no time at all.

In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve. As long as there is enough salary, it is not difficult to find an English teacher, even a portable translator can be found.

But Mendes, the beast, caused a big trouble for Lin Yi. The person who was thrown in front of Lin Yi to teach him English was the one who gave this kid the most headache.

Selena, the little girl who has been filming in the United States for almost three months, once again parachuted in front of Lin Yi, still with that elusive smile on her face. When Lin Yi saw that little chubby face being sent to him, he really wanted to find a gun to kill Mendes immediately.

"This... how can it be called learning English! Isn't this life-threatening!" Lin Yi felt so uneasy when he saw Selena smiling at him.

It was not easy to be quiet for more than three months, but now it's good. I don't know what ghost ideas this little girl has hidden under that smiling face.

If Lin Yi is a scary ghost on the court, then this ghost has completely met his nemesis, and the nemesis is so deadly.

"Damn Mendes!" Lin Yi was sweating when he saw Selena coming. He really didn't want to provoke this clever little girl, but Mendes, the inhuman beast, didn't leave him any room for refusal at all, because the person had already arrived.

Moreover, before coming, Mendes had not revealed any information to Lin Yi. This sudden attack really worked, and Lin Yi was stunned.

"This is to facilitate your subsequent advertising. Nokia manufacturers attach great importance to your current popularity in England. This is to strike while the iron is hot."

"The mobile phone that you and Selena endorsed just happened to launch a new model recently, which is the couple-exclusive model. England is the first stop for the promotion, and the girl's English level can be used to teach you. Get used to that kind of spoken language as soon as possible, which will be good for your future competitions."

Anyway, Mendes did not give Lin Yi a chance to object. Now that he has even sent people here, even if Lin Yi wants to send this Buddha away, he has no chance.

Damn! Lin Yi really wants to kill Mendes. This guy is now reluctant to spend money on English teachers and actually arranged such a person for himself.

But then again, there is really no problem for Selena to teach Lin Yi. Although she often speaks American English, at least she can make Lin Yi familiar with the vocabulary that must be used in daily communication as soon as possible. It's just that whether this girl will be so kind-hearted as to be a good teacher, I'm afraid only the devil knows.

Anyway, when Lin Yi saw this girl, his first feeling was that his scalp was tingling. Although they have claimed to have reconciled, women change their faces faster than the weather. Lin Yi dare not hope that the ghost girl has turned over a new leaf. Selena's face often has a mysterious smile.

Especially when she looks at Lin Yi, the faint smile on the little bun's face always makes Lin Yi feel frightened. This smile is not funny.

However, the little girl who has not been seen for more than three months has lost the awkwardness of the first meeting. After shooting a movie, the whole person's temperament seems to be much more stable. The casual dress can also set off the girl's figure very well. At least it is much more mature than the last time they met.

Although she is not as good as those tough girls who always do C, D, and E, Selina no longer looks like a young girl.

At least Lin Yi can no longer describe her as a little bun. After all, Selina has some curves and ups and downs.

But Lin Yi is not in the mood to appreciate her figure now, because when he saw Selina, his first thought was to beware of this girl's mischief.

No one knows what this girl is up to. Anyway, when Lin Yi saw her, his whole back was whizzing with cold wind, and he was obviously shuddering.

Last time on the set and at the banquet, he still remembered how this little girl had played tricks on him behind his back. This girl is definitely not a kind person.

This may be the number one person who makes Lin Yi nervous the most. When facing Selina, Lin Yi even thinks of the confrontation between himself and Keane.

Although one of them is an American girl with a sweet smile on her face, and the other is an Irish tough guy with a fierce face, in Lin Yi's opinion, the latter is obviously not as difficult as the former. At least he doesn't think he can easily deal with Selena, the clever girl.

"Congratulations, although I don't watch football in the United States, I also know that you just won a trophy." Selena's opening remarks seemed very friendly.

Looking at the other party's tender little hand, Lin Yi responded politely, but Selena's next sentence exposed her nature.

"But if I am a teacher, even if I am the champion, I have no privileges." At this time, a very cunning smile appeared on her little face.

Well, I'm on a pirate ship. Lin Yi feels more and more that he has completely fallen into a pit this time, and there is no chance to climb up at all. He died very hard.

Mendes doesn't plan to care about Lin Yi's life or death this time. Sometimes this kind of gossip is also a good way to increase attention, and both parties will benefit.

Although Selena herself doesn't know how her agent and Mendes negotiated, this golden boy and girl must be exposed to the media anyway.

Many English media are now holding back to find news about Lin Yi. They don't want to let Lin Yi go. He has been the focus of the transfer market throughout the summer, just like the media used a magnifying glass to look at Beckham and the Spice Girls. Any gossip is valuable.

For Selena, who has already begun to emerge in Disney, this can only be said to be beneficial and harmless. No one objects to the combination of the two of them.

This time, taking the opportunity of going to England for promotion, Selena also happened to expand her market in Europe. However, now, the girl's mind is mostly about how to tease the guy in front of her. She seems to be very happy to see Lin Yi's embarrassed expression.

Alas, Lin Yi found that this summer was simply his day of suffering. Faria's destruction and Selena's torture, how can people still live like this!

(Manchester City has been really restless recently, always fighting internally, but it is indeed quite lively, haha...)
