Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

At seven o'clock in the morning, inside the Chelsea training base, Li Lei was already out of breath, his training suit soaked with sweat, but his eyes revealed a firm will that made him persist in the shuttle run.

De Bruyne supported his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.

The high-intensity training made his body feel a little weak, but seeing Li Lei's desperate look, he knew that he must not show weakness.

De Bruyne took a deep breath and straightened up. He glanced at Li Lei on the track, gritted his teeth, and joined the training again.

The two chased each other on the track for a long time. Even though they were sweating profusely, they persisted.

De Bruyne supported his hands on his knees, breathing heavily. 20 minutes of high-intensity training made him exhausted and he could no longer use any strength.

" No! Really no!" He said weakly, his voice intermittent due to panting.

Li Lei was also panting, and his training clothes were soaked with sweat, but he still joked:" Huh! Kevin, a man can't say he can't do it.!"

De Bruyne raised his head with great effort after hearing what Li Lei said. It was obvious that Li Lei was also very tired, but he was still stubborn. Thinking of this, De Bruyne gritted his teeth and barely stood up straight.

"Who said I can't do it? Look at me!" De Bruyne tries to cheer himself up and pretends to do another round of training

"Okay, okay, take a break" Li Lei quickly pulled De Bruyne, and the two smiled at each other.

Just when the two were resting, Li Lei's consciousness immersed in the system space, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he looked at the attributes above.

Name: Li Lei.

Team: Chelsea.

Occupation: winger, attacking midfielder (can be competent in multiple positions).

Physical fitness: 85, speed: 100, strength: 75, shooting: 70 passing: 100, dribbling: 90, defense: 68.

Passive skills: telepathy, iron bones.

Active skills: accurate shooting

After nearly half a season of training and competition, the biggest improvements are physical fitness and dribbling.

The physical fitness of 85 is enough for him to complete a game of not very high intensity, and the dribbling of 90 will also enter the ranks of stars, but there is still a lack of strength.

""Brother, we train so hard every day, do you think there will be any results?" De Bruyne asked with a little discouragement.

There was a hint of disappointment in De Bruyne's voice. The high-intensity training every day was exhausting, and whether there would be any reward was still unknown.

Kevin's voice interrupted Li Lei's thinking. He thought for a while and said with a firm tone::" Of course there are results! When I first came to the Premier League, I was out of breath after playing half a game. Now I still have the energy to launch the final shot after playing for 70 minutes."

" Our physical fitness is improving steadily, that is for sure. Besides, football matches are not only about physical strength, but also about skills, awareness, and experience, all of which require time to accumulate."

Li Lei stood up and patted De Bruyne on the shoulder, encouraging him:" Believe in the results of training, and believe in yourself. As long as we don’t give up, there will be a day when we will reap the rewards.!"

De Bruyne was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly and said:" You are right, brother. I know hard work will always pay off. Let's work hard together.!"

"Let's do it together!"

After completing the high-intensity training, Li Lei and De Bruyne began to do some recovery exercises to prepare for the formal training session.

At this time, Captain Terry also came to the training ground. He looked at the two young men on the field training under the rising sun, and couldn't help but show envy in his eyes and said:" Hey guys, you don't have to work so hard every day.!"

Li Lei heard Terry's words and immediately retorted:" Captain, you are late. You have become an old man.!"

" You little bastard!" Terry walked over pretending to be angry and ruffled Li Lei's hair.

The three of them had a good time playing around, and teammates gradually arrived to gather. The sun shone on the green field, and the warm-up players were full of energy for the new day.

After the group confrontation in the morning, the entire Chelsea team came to the large conference room of the training base.

The big screen was playing Arsenal's recent game video, and coach Mourinho was watching the video while proposing his tactical deployment.

" Our left-wing attack needs to be more threatening, Hazard, you need to be more active in getting in behind and making effective breakthroughs." Mourinho pointed out the problem directly.

The players stared at the screen intently and simulated the coach's tactical arrangements in their minds.

" Lampard, you need to communicate more with the defenders and strengthen the connection in the third quarter of the defense. Your task in this game is more defensive than offensive." Mourinho continues to arrange

"Li! You have to make full use of your speed advantage, tear open Arsenal's right side, and form a left-right response with Hazard on the left!"

"As for who will end the game, it depends on the situation on the field! In principle, any of you has the opportunity to score." On

December 24, the 17th round of the league, Li Lei followed his teammates to the King Power Stadium in North London, where they will challenge Arsenal away.

At this time, fans wearing red and blue jerseys around the stadium began to enter the field in an orderly manner, and there was not much gunpowder between the two sides.

The stands were densely packed with fans, and the songs of their respective teams came one after another.

In the true sense, the two teams are not a London derby, and their relationship can be traced back to the early 20th century.

Although both teams are football clubs in the London area, their fan groups and social backgrounds are significantly different.

Chelsea's fans are mainly from the working class and middle class in west London.

Arsenal's fans are more from the middle class and upper class in north London.

This regional and cultural difference has led to some friction and confrontation between the two, but it has not risen to the level of derby rivals. step.

However, the match between Chelsea and Arsenal has always been one of the most attractive and competitive duels in the history of British football.

Their match is not only a football match, but also a contest between the two giants in London.

But this still does not affect the cooperation between the two sides, such as the exchange and loan of players, and even the transfer of players from both teams to each other's clubs.

All of these do not affect the fans' mood of watching the game, and they support their own teams with all their strength.

Fans of both sides arrived at the Emirates Stadium early, and the blue and red flags were clearly distinguished in the stadium. The fans waved huge flags and sang team songs, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely warm.

During the warm-up, Li Lei felt the enthusiasm of the fans and felt that the temperature in the stadium was several degrees higher than outside.

Every away game will have a different experience, just like discovering a new world, constantly attracting him to explore.
