Chapter 90 Baylorfield Base

The happy time is always short. Jenny has been back to England in two days. Li Yu stayed in China to continue his holiday. For Li Yu, who has just experienced the taste between men and women, this life without Jenny is meaningless and difficult. Li Yu decided to go back to England in early June and go to Liverpool there. After more systematic training, on the one hand, he can meet Jenny more, and on the other hand, he hasn't really played football on the court for nearly a month. For Li Yu, it's more difficult than the days without a girlfriend. That kind of simple and boring gym muscle practice has fed him.

Sanford Road, Liverpool, United Kingdom.

Li Yu set out from the Marriott Hotel, passed the famous Siddeby Road and then went to Sandford Road, where the base was located, and arrived at the street where the Everton Club Baylorfield Training Base was located in less than 10 minutes.

I walked back and forth on Sandford Road twice, but I couldn't find the location of the base. I didn't even see a building with the Everton team emblem. Li Yu began to doubt whether the club staff was joking with him. After looking at it for a long time, she didn't find the so-called training base.

Finally, a middle-aged man was found. Li Yu quickly came forward to ask. If she continued to look for it like this, she probably didn't need to train. If she found the gate of the base, she could go straight home for dinner.

It's not easy to find the Baylorfield base. It's not that the place is remote, but if you don't pay attention, you may not be able to find the gate of the base even if it takes half an hour, because the gate of the base has no special sign, and it is sandwiched between two residential houses No. 96 and 94. There is no obvious difference between the number and the house.

Because Li Yu, an informal player, accidentally walked over. Fortunately, he asked an understanding person, otherwise Li Yu didn't know at all that this place that looked like a residence would be Everton's training base.

This base has a long history. It was specially established by England before hosting the World Cup in 1966. It used to be just the residence of a tennis court club. In 1966, the Brazilian team set up a training camp at the Baylorfield training base. After the World Cup, John Moore, the owner of Everton Club, bought the base for the club's daily training and officially launched it on July 12, 1966.

Due to the long history, this base is now a little old. It can't be compared with the Liverpool club's training base in the same city. If there is a training base scoreboard, Everton's Bellefield training base will certainly not be as stable in the top six as in the Premier League table. The situation of the land will definitely be in the downgrade zone.

The first place is not the Carrington training base of Manchester United, the new Premier League champion, but Chelsea's Cobam training base.

It takes about 50 minutes to drive from Stamford Bridge to Cobham in Surrey. This training base is not open to the public. The team's specific public training is only arranged at Stamford Bridge Stadium. After Roman Arkadievich Abramovich entered Stamford Bridge in 2003, Chelsea was quickly equipped with first-class senior management, first-class medical team and first-class coaches and players, but compared with other giants, what the Blue Lions lacked is one A well-equipped training base. Therefore, Chelsea began to build the Cobham training base.

The Cobham training base, which was built at a cost of tens of millions of pounds, covers an area of about 140 acres, with 15 football fields and an indoor football field for winter training.

It integrates the functions of rehabilitation for the injured, medical and media services. Chelsea's first team, reserve team, youth echelon (from under 9 teams to under 18 teams), and even community football activities are carried out in this base.

Cobham Base is also equipped with a fingerprint scanning verification system to protect the safety of players and club staff. For Chelsea, Cobham may be more important than Stamford Bridge, because whether the team can play well depends on the training performance here and the rehabilitation and medical work of the players at the base.

Although Melwoody, Liverpool's sworn enemy in the same city, has a long history, Liverpool has spent a lot of money to improve it, which meets all the conditions of a new comprehensive training base, an international high-tech main training ground, complete drainage and sprinkler irrigation equipment, and lighting facilities. There are also two international advanced lawn football fields, which are no less than Anfield Stadium. The fitness equipment is controlled by the computer system. Each player has his own physical function status card, which can easily query and store his muscle status. This fitness control system is the most advanced in European football, although the facilities of Melwood Base are in the four giants.

Everton's Belleffield base can't do without being in the relegation zone. The club has begun to build a new training base. Before the new base is built, the Everton Club will have to work and train in the old Baylorfield.

Li Yu walked into Baylorfield, looked at the old brick houses on both sides, and even felt like an ancient castle. However, although the sparrow was small and complete, the training ground was still well maintained. Li Yu was eager to try when she saw the neatly trimmed training ground not far away, and couldn't wait to go up and run with the ball twice.

Taking off his clothes, the staff brought the training ball, and Li Yu began to carry the ball training.

It's very simple, just like in the special training, carry the ball over the pile.

At the beginning, the movements were still a little strange. After all, I haven't really trained with the ball for a month, and the body needs to have a process of adaptation more or less.

It's smoother and smoother over time, and the time is constantly decreasing. Li Yu is completely immersed in the action of driving the ball. From time to time, there is one more person on the side of the court who nodded and took the stopwatch. He didn't even know the time.

40.32 seconds, 39.65 seconds, 37.32 seconds... 33, 15 seconds, Li Yu, who is still running back and forth with the ball, seems to be very dissatisfied with her state and is still running back and forth. "The continuity of running with the ball in the half is not as good as the whole game, and it takes a lot more time!" There is no accurate timing, but Li Yu can still estimate the approximate time in his mind, and he is much more unfamiliar without combined with the ball training for a month.

After the training, Li Yu found that there was a middle-aged man standing on the side of the field. The middle-aged man looked at Li Yu's slight nod as a greeting. He took two steps to meet Li Yu and stretched out his hand to introduce himself: "I'm Alan Avery, the assistant coach of Everton. You just performed very well!"

"Hello, I'm Li Yu! Thank you for your praise, but this is not what I should be. Li Yu held Alan Avigny's hand, was obviously a little dissatisfied with her state, and told her thoughts truthfully.

"Ha ha, it seems that David's vision is really good. LEE should take a shower quickly. Don't catch a cold. You will attend your hearing soon. It's not good to be sick!" Avini thought that Li Yu was exaggerating his strength. He has seen a lot of young people who like to show off his young people like this. He has seen the performance just now. Such a level is not in the best state. What is the best state? Even if the best technical Mikkel Arteta in the team is almost at this level, if He knew that Li Yu had crossed the pile and other restrictive rules, so Evini would not have such a conclusion. Now he felt that the young man was a little ignorant and was not interested in talking about anything more. After a few words, he walked away.

Li Yu didn't know this, so she obediently went to the locker room and was ready to wash it and go back to the hotel.

......

"Alan, how are you observing? Is our new striker excellent? Let me see you have a few more words!" David Moyes stood in front of the window and did not turn around. He knew that his assistant Avini must have come to report to him on Li Yu's training and asked casually.

"He is in good physical condition, the basic technical movements are solid, and the rhythm of the ball is also good. However, I think this player has some problems with his personality. He is too proud. This kind of proud person is likely to become an unstable factor in the team. He has performed so well in Juventus, but he has attracted ruthless cleansing. It is estimated that it is mostly caused by this factor, not what the outside media called the 'Dechamps'!" Avini said his preliminary judgment on Li Yu. At the technical level, he just said it briefly, focusing on a defect in Li Yu's personality that he thought was very important.

"Do you think it's a little risky for us to introduce Li Yu? This is a little different from our transfer strategy!" Moyes did not say Li Yu, but raised another question.

"Yes, I think it's risky! I learned that in his year at Juventus, a lot of things happened inside and outside the court. The Italian Football Association and his motherland's Football Association don't seem to like him very much. Such a player is too dangerous for our team! I don't think he has the conditions to become a Premier League player yet. David, you are gambling, and you are likely to lose more than 600W!" At the beginning, Avini did not agree with Li Yu's transfer, but Moyes insisted on introducing it. Now he asked his opinion and immediately said his long-depressed opinion.

"I don't think so. Li Yu has many problems on the field and has been banned for a long time, but you know why Deschamps, as the head coach of Juventus, must use this player who always makes trouble?" Moyes looked back at his assistant, "Unparalleled talent! Horrible growth!"

"But personality is also the decisive factor that determines a player to become a superstar. He just lacks this factor!" Avini is still arguing.

"Ha ha, is everyone asking too much of him? Or is it too harsh on him because his talent makes everyone jealous? Instead, everyone ignored the most important one. Don't forget that he is only 18 years old!" Moyes looked at the base under the sunset and expressed his opinion.
