The biggest fanatic in football

After entering July, Lee Polo finally returned to London after traveling in Northern Europe for half a month.

Although the renovation of his mansion in Saarland has been completed, he still chose to stay at Taylor's house for a month in order to better ventilate and disperse the smell.

Living at your girlfriend's house for a long time is a slightly subtle feeling.

Especially Lisanna found a new job. When she went out to work, Li Polo, who stayed behind in the mansion, felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the Bruces were used to it. The two of them lived on the third floor, while Li Polo and Lisanna lived on the first floor. They made sure not to disturb each other and avoid too embarrassing scenes.

While waiting for the new season, Lee Polo also accepted several exclusive interviews.

For example, the BBC, the most influential TV station in the UK, Sky Sports (UK branch), The Times, and the largest football newspaper in the UK, 442.

For example, "France Football", the organizer of the Ballon d'Or, and "Kicker", the authoritative German newspaper.

tv-5, "Sports Weekly", Tencent Sports, etc.

However, what makes these media a little disappointed is that no matter who he is interviewed by, Lee Polo only touches the point and does not create much topic for them.

He only left one sentence at the end:

"When the new season arrives, I will be waiting for you at Chelsea's press conference."

These experienced reporters understand:

【This guy...has a hand in reserve!】

[He left all what he really wanted to say to Chelsea’s new season! 】

[I just made a wedding dress for someone else!]

Fortunately, they didn't wait too long, and July 10 finally arrived.

-

Chelsea's Cobham training base was rebuilt after Abramovich purchased the club, so it is not located in urban London where land is at a premium, but in Salshire, southwest of the city.

Yes, it is located in the same area as the mansion purchased by Li Polo, less than 5 kilometers away in a straight line.

In order to avoid getting lost, Lee Polo left home two hours in advance, driving the AMG sent by his sponsor Mercedes-Benz and speeding all the way.

As a result, he underestimated the speed of the new car and overestimated the traffic jam problem in England. When he arrived at the gate of the training base, there were still 90 minutes before the meeting time.

But this is not bad. As a newcomer, Li Polo can just get familiar with the training venue in the future.

"Sister Nuo" also thoughtfully arranged for a staff member to accompany him from the first second after entering the gate to prevent him from losing himself in this huge base covering an area of ​​130 acres - approximately 5,250 acres.

"I'm Carlo Cudicini, welcome to Chelsea and welcome to Cobham."

This is a middle-aged man with a similar build to himself, with a high nose and deep eyes, with a hint of blue in his eyes, a typical Caucasian race.

Li Polo smiled, shook hands with the other party, thanked him, and even made a little joke:

"Carlo, if possible, can you practice with me more in the future?"

As a goalkeeper who has played for Chelsea for many years, Cudicini smiled heartily:

"I've heard rumors about you in Valencia. There aren't many young people who are so diligent and hard-working!"

He then pointed to a group of staff carrying cameras not far away:

"The club's official TV station, do you mind?"

Li Polo smiled and shrugged.

It has been nearly 20 days since he confirmed to join Chelsea. Apart from the photo with Abramovich when signing the contract, there has been no other official promotion. As a club, they certainly need to create some momentum.

Accompanied by Cudicini, a member of the coaching staff and the club’s publicity ambassador, Lipolo officially began his tour of Cobham.

"This place was only officially opened in 2005. It was the most advanced training base in the world at that time. Of course, it is still advanced now."

Cudicini pointed to a large open lawn in front of him:

"There are 17 full-size turfs, exactly the same as Stamford Bridge. Three of them maintain a suitable temperature of 15 degrees all year round. In addition, there are some small-sized turfs. I don't remember the specific number, hahaha."

The coach smiled and pointed into the distance:

"This indoor stadium is specially used in winter. A little further away, there is the training ground for the youth team. You can see the young guys training hard."

"The Players Restaurant, I can guarantee that this is definitely the best restaurant in England."

There are administrative office areas, media reception halls, tactical analysis rooms, medical rooms, recovery rooms, player dormitories, locker rooms, gyms, equipment rooms, game halls, swimming pools, and even basketball courts and tennis courts for leisure and entertainment.

Compared with the Patna training base in Valencia, the supporting facilities here are undoubtedly more advanced. After all, even the oldest equipment is not more than 12 years old...

After seeing the main facilities and venues, Cudicini took him to the players' locker room:

"Be prepared, your coach and teammates will be here soon!"

-

In the new team, Lee Polo did not continue to choose the No. 9 jersey, but grabbed the No. 1 before Caballero - this was the number he wore at Wimbledon.

Caballero is just a backup goalkeeper, how dare he compete with Lee Polo for his number?

As for the first goalkeeper Courtois, he has long chosen the number 13 that most players avoid.

It is obvious that this young and promising Belgian goalkeeper has a big heart!

——De Bruyne, who stole his girlfriend from him, must have a deep understanding of this.

After Li Polo changed into training clothes, there was still half an hour before the gathering time, so he found a football and started daily training alone.

Since getting the new plug-in, his recovery ability has been greatly improved, and 2 hours of daily training every day can no longer make him feel tired.

Fortunately, I heard that the head coach Conte is also a demanding football madman, and Li Polo is very eager to squeeze out his strong energy that he has nowhere to release in the new team.

He had just run around the court 10 times with the ball when he met his first teammate, Cesar Azpilicueta.

When the defense general, who was about to turn 28, saw Lee Polo running with the ball, he did not immediately say hello warmly, but quietly observed from the sidelines.

[My ball dribbling skills have improved a lot! It’s almost the same as when I was 15 years old!]

【Ah...he tripped over the ball!】

Azpilicueta pursed his lips tightly to prevent himself from laughing.

Li Polo didn't care at all. When he lost his balance, he put his right hand on the ground and immediately regained his center of gravity. Then he took a lunge and caught up with the football again.

Azpilicueta was stunned for a moment and could no longer laugh:

[…The reaction is so fast! The explosive power is terrifying!]

[He has become much stronger than he was in the League Cup final two years ago!]

While he was in a daze, he heard a "whooshing" sound in the wind, and a white light jumped over from a distance.

He subconsciously stretched out his right foot, stopped the ball firmly, and then looked up.

Li Polo looked at him with a half-smile:

"Hey, man, I'm Li Polo, please give me your advice in the future!"

-

At 3:01 p.m., Lee Polo met his future head coach.

Antonio Conte.

Compared to Valencia, Chelsea's coaching team is undoubtedly much larger.

Under the head coach, there are 5 assistant coaches alone, in addition to 4 physical coaches, 3 goalkeeper coaches, 2 tactical analysts, and 6 staff responsible for medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Li Poluo doubted himself... could he remember the names of these people within a month?

"Okay, no one is late, except the injured Hazard."

Conte glanced at his watch and started the first training session of the new season.

His eyes swept through the crowd and landed on the three new players:

"First of all, please introduce the newcomers. Everyone is welcome."

Amidst a burst of sparse applause, everyone's eyes focused on Li Polo.

Lee Polo didn't intend to be the first to speak, but...as a superstar, he must bear such a heavy responsibility.

If he didn't speak, how could Caballero and Rudiger dare to speak?

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Polo. I played in Valencia, Spain last season. I can play forward, midfielder, defender and goalkeeper."

He made an introduction with a loud voice and confidence.

Conte nodded and affirmed him.

But Li Polo didn't mean to stop there, but continued:

"Maybe some people are not familiar with me, so I'll expand on it a little bit."

Conte's eyes suddenly darkened.

He had an uncomfortable premonition.

I saw Li Polo showing an amiable smile:

"Last season, I led Valencia to four titles, La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup and UEFA Champions League.

In addition to collective honors, I also won some individual awards, such as La Liga top scorer and MVP, Copa del Rey top scorer and MVP, Super Cup MVP, and UEFA Champions League top scorer and MVP."

He didn't look at Conte's face and just introduced himself completely:

"I am a less comprehensive forward, only good at heading goals, so my scoring efficiency is not very high. Last season, I only played 47 games and only scored 98 goals. If not

I often waste opportunities and get rotated by the head coach. I might be able to score a few more.

I hope to make greater progress in the new season with everyone’s help! Thank you everyone!”

Conti's big nose twitched violently.

He felt like he was about to suffocate!

【What does this new guy want to do?】

【Negative sentiment from Conte, 26!】

[Negative emotions from Chelsea players, 537!]
