Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

Li Lei is 1.8 meters tall, and at this moment, he was lying on a lounge chair with his muscular upper body exposed, basking in the sun.

His well-proportioned figure and healthy wheat-colored skin attracted a lot of attention on the beach.

On the day of signing the contract, the system rewarded him with 10 free attribute points again.

"Congratulations to the host for landing in the world's top league, the Premier League, and reward 10 free attribute points."

Faced with these 10 attribute points, he has not yet figured out how to use them, but now is the holiday, so it is better to put these things aside for the time being and enjoy life.

At this time, a crisp female voice sounded:"Hi, handsome boy, you are alone! Is the scenery here beautiful?"

Just when Li Lei was half asleep and half awake, he was attracted by this crisp voice. A European girl with short golden hair, wearing a light blue bikini, appeared in front of him with a bright smile.

"Yes! Yes, the beach here is very beautiful and suitable for relaxing"

"Why don't you play with us? We are still short of one player for the beach volleyball game."

The girl raised her hand and pointed behind her. Following her green finger, Li Lei saw two other beauties waving at him.

"You guys seem to be having a lot of fun." Li Lei said with a smile

"Yes, we are playing beach volleyball, two against two. Do you want to join us? It will make the game more exciting.?" The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally made a friendly invitation.

"Yeah! I have time now."Li Lei agreed readily.

Soon, an enviable scene appeared on the beach. Three slender girls were playing beach volleyball around a young man.

Faced with the girls' enthusiastic invitation, Li Lei played until very late that day. They first played a lot of paid projects on the beach, and then everyone had a seafood dinner together. They played in the local bar until very late in the evening before returning to the hotel where they were staying.

Looking at the messy clothes on the ground, Li Lei shook his dizzy head and thought about what happened last night.

Looking back at the big bed behind him, a mysterious smile appeared on his face. He left the room lightly and began to warm up for the day.

Although it is still a holiday, he still has to do some morning exercises, which can keep him active.

Breathing the cool air in the early morning, the whole person is refreshed and the body is more energetic than before.

With the company of beautiful women, this vacation is no longer so lonely.

However, good things are always short-lived.

On July 18, Chelsea blew the horn of assembly, and Li Lei's wonderful holiday time came to an end.

At Chelsea's Cobham training base, head coach Mourinho was convening a meeting with the coaching staff.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will face new challenges in the new season. I believe that through hard work, we will be able to build a stronger and more competitive team. Mourinho said calmly and forcefully.

"In this training camp, we must build the team into a whole, focusing on improving the team's coordination and developing a sense of offensive rhythm."

"How are our warm-up matches arranged?" Mourinho asked, looking at the list of players in his hand.

The names of the players were all on the paper. These are Chelsea's valuable assets.

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech, Schwarzer, Ilario, Blackman

Defenders: Ivanovic, Cole, Luiz, Cahill, Terry, Ake, Azpilicueta, Kalas, Wallace, Christian Cuevas

Midfielders: Ramires, Lampard, Oscar, Mikel, Schurrle, Van Ginkel, Hazard, Matic, Willian, De Bruyne, Li Lei

Forwards: Torres, Demba Ba, Benítez Muller, Eto'o, Willian.

This 30-man roster is all of Chelsea's players, and the 18-man roster for the entire season will also be selected from here.

But more players did not appear here, they could only stay at the base as their substitutes, that is, second-tier players, and they didn't even have the opportunity to go to the field.

Mourinho has not yet considered the use of Li Lei clearly. He is temporarily satisfied with the position of attacking midfielder. Compared with Li Lei's shooting, Mourinho values his passing more.

At this time, Chelsea is really a star-studded team, and Li Lei is just an unknown little transparent here.

On the morning of July 18, 2013, Li Lei ended his vacation and flew back to London to start a new journey to play for Chelsea.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, he arrived at Cobham, Chelsea's training base.

This training base is located in South London. It is the team's main training ground and the base for the players' daily work and life.

It has four standard-sized grass training fields, allowing players to adapt to various venues and environments, and is equipped with advanced gyms, spas and other recovery facilities.

Indoor small venues and professional training grounds can ensure normal training in bad weather.

High-standard medical rooms and physical therapy areas take care of the players' physical condition, and hotel-style player lounges and dormitories can provide players with a temporary and comfortable living environment.

After being guided to visit the facilities of the training base like a revolving lantern, Li Lei came to the office of head coach Mourinho.

In addition to Mourinho, there was also a tall, determined middle-aged man sitting in the office.

"Terry, come and meet our newcomer, Li Lei. Mourinho said with a smile

"Li Lei, this is the captain of the team, center back John Terry" Mourinho said:

"Hello, Li Lei, welcome to Chelsea!" Terry stood up and said in his signature deep voice, with no attitude in his voice.

"Hello, Captain Terry! Nice to meet you. Li Lei shook hands with Terry nervously and said

"I believe you will become a part of the team, and we will help you adapt to the Premier League as soon as possible."Terry held Li Lei's hand firmly, encouraging the newcomer.

"Thank you Captain Terry! I will try my best to live up to your expectations." Li Lei said solemnly.

It was his first time meeting the captain of Chelsea, who was known for his iron-bloodedness. Li Lei was still not able to relax.

"Hey! Don't be nervous, little guy, I think De Bruyne will welcome you very much!"
