Chapter 286 Chelsea's New DJ
"Here, give it to me!"

Jiang Yuan called out, took the ball from David Luiz, and then volleyed the ball, directly breaking through the B team's goal defended by Courtois.

clap clap clap!
Mourinho applauded the players on the field. Judging from the training in the past few days, this season's summer transfer window is still very good. David Luiz plays as a central defender. Although his defensive ability is average, his long pass and straight pass skills are very good, which makes up for Courtois's shortcomings in passing.

And there is this guy Kante. Fabregas and Jiang Yuan were originally the players with the best endurance in Chelsea, but they are far inferior to Kante.

Kante's height of 1 meters means that he consumes less energy when running than the average player. His speed is not fast, but the running area is very large, so much so that Mourinho has a feeling that Chelsea's midfield defense is already invincible!
Of course, as a professional coach, Mourinho knows very well that this feeling of his is an illusion.

"Beep!"

After the whistle, the players on the field hurried to gather together. Zouma put his arms around Kante's neck, just like a father taking care of his child.

After two days of getting along, the old and new players have become familiar with each other. It seems that Mourinho did it on purpose. Chelsea's main new players, Kante, Luiz, and Alonso, all have good personalities and it is not difficult to get along with them.

"Ok, is everyone here?"

Mourinho looked around. He didn't count carefully. After all, he had trained so many times and he could tell by feeling whether there were any missing players in the team. "We are going to Austria tomorrow to play a friendly match with Rapid (Vienna)"

Jiang Yuan chewed gum and listened to Mourinho's plan. He thought he could take this opportunity to visit Vienna, but it seemed that this was not the case.

Mourinho spread out a thick notebook and glanced at Terry. "This friendly match is mainly for training substitutes and new players. John and Cesc, you two can go together."

Terry and Fabregas, whose names were called, looked at each other and nodded silently.

"Don't I have to go?"

Ibrahimovic took a step forward. The 34-year-old Swede still maintained his desire for the game.

"You don't have to go, we still have training tasks," Mourinho shook his head.

The key to Chelsea's pre-match preparations is the frontcourt and midfield, and Ibrahimovic, as the most prominent part of the Blues' front trident, naturally cannot leave.

As usual, the first friendly match is for the new players to debut and adapt to the team. In the next few training matches, Mourinho will have to consider using the complete lineup for next season.

The quality of a tactic ultimately depends on how it performs in the game.

"Ok! This is the end of the morning training. Let's go to the physical therapist. Your partners are waiting for you in the room!"

Mourinho and Brown stood there, waiting for the players to disperse and then prepared to return to the office, but Fabregas, who had caught up with them, called out: "Jose, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Oh? A personal problem or a team problem?"

Mourinho pointed to Brown next to him. What he meant was that if it was a personal issue, he could let Brown leave temporarily, but if it was a team problem, there was no need for Brown to leave.

“It’s a team problem”

Fabregas spoke in a low voice, and Mourinho could only take half a step forward: "Hey, man, speak louder, you are a professional athlete."

"Well, that is...Jose, I heard that you want to buy Paul Pogba this summer. I want to ask if this news is true."

"Well, it's true, we are in contact with Paul"

Now it was Mourinho's turn to speak softly.

Of course he knew the purpose of Fabregas asking this question. Fabregas' performance last season was average, but because Chelsea itself did not have many strong midfielders, the Spaniard was still able to start in every game.

But this season, the situation has changed a lot. After Kante joined the team, Mourinho gave him the starting defensive midfielder position because of his exaggerated backfield sweeping ability. According to Chelsea's 4321 formation, after Kante started, Chelsea only had one starting defensive midfielder spot left. The strongest contenders for these two spots are Matic and Fabregas.

If Fabregas is competing with Matic, he still has a lot of chances.

But if Pogba comes...

Fabregas looked at Mourinho in front of him and said: "Jose, may I know why we need Paul? You should know that Paul does not match the current tactics of our team. What we need is a defensive midfielder who can sweep and advance."

Hey……

Mourinho sighed and put a hand on Fabregas' shoulder: "Paul has comprehensive skills. You know, a player of that level can be very creative. What Chelsea needs is creativity."

Mourinho was right. The reason why he chose Pogba between Kyle Walker and Pogba was because of Pogba's creative ability in the middle.

Strong physical confrontation, imaginative passes, and wonderful long shots. Putting aside tactical matching, no coach can resist the temptation of Pogba.

"Jose, besides Paul, we should have many options. Like you said before, Kyle and Romelu are both very good players and very suitable..."

“Needless to say”

Mourinho interrupted Fabregas who was speaking. The latter looked a little uncomfortable and his voice was trembling.

The Spaniard is 29 years old this year and is already at the peak of his career, even approaching the end. He no longer has the fighting spirit he had when he was young. If Pogba transfers like this, he really doesn't know what to do.

To comfort him, Mourinho grabbed Fabregas' shoulders with both hands: "Believe me, you will have a chance, we can play rotation, or other... well, you know, different opponents have different tactics, your tactical position in Chelsea has always been there!"

After listening to what Mourinho said, Fabregas nodded solemnly, not knowing that he had just eaten the pie Mourinho had drawn.

"Jose, I'm leaving now!"

After communicating with Mourinho, Fabregas' mood became better and he left after greeting him.

"Jose"

On the side, Leon Brown looked Mourinho in the eye: "We can sell him. You know, as long as Paul comes, he will basically have no chance to start."

"you are wrong"

Mourinho and Brown walked side by side towards the main building: "Even if we don't have Paul, Cesc won't have any chance. Matic, his performance is much better than Cesc. N'Golo + Matic, this is my original plan"

"For the player's sake, you should consider selling him"

"No, Oscar is leaving and we need a substitute. Cesc has a steady style of play and he is the best candidate for the substitute."

……

Romano: Oscar transferred to the Chinese Super League team Shanghai Port for a transfer fee of 6000 million pounds.

Shanghai Port official: Welcome, Oscar!

Romano: Here we go! Pogba joins Chelsea for 1.05 million euros, breaking the world record. The player's pre-tax weekly salary is 26 pounds, tied with Rooney and Jiang for the highest in the Premier League.

Chelsea Twitter: Pogba's joining ceremony will be held at Stamford Bridge at 7 pm London time on July 18. The process will last 3 minutes and tickets will start at 70 pounds.

……

On the afternoon of July 7, Pogba arrived at Stamford Bridge in a Toyota Alphard amid the cheers of reporters and fans. The French star will meet Mourinho here and sign the remaining contract.

Click, click, click!

Click!

"Pogba! Top man!"

"wowww!"

The flash lights focused on the player tunnel, and the tall Pogba slowly walked out of the tunnel dancing, accompanied by the sound of live commentary.

“here is the Paul Pogba”

“Winner of four consecutive Serie A”

"2013 Golden Boy"

"Let's welcome..."

The commentator raised the microphone above his head, followed by the shouts of the Blues fans at the scene.

"POGBAAAAAA!!!!!"

“Pogba!”

Boom!

“Pogba!”

Boom!

Amid cheers, Pogba slowly walked into the stadium, where McLaughlan was waiting for him in the middle of the field.

According to the original plan, Pogba needed to greet the fans first, accept an on-site interview, and then give the fans signed shoes.

However, the Frenchman did not like to follow the plan. He just staggered towards the ball with the best distance, pulled the ball behind him with his right foot, leaned his upper body forward, and then knocked the ball with the arch of his foot and hit the ball behind him.

This is Pogba's favorite kick-off move.

"Hey!"

Pogba lobbed the ball into the stands, sparking another round of cheers.

After sending all 24 footballs to the stands, Pogba made a big circle and finally came to the center of the field.

Seeing this, McLaughlin hurried over to hold Pogba, fearing that this guy would run away.

Under the expectant gaze of the fans, Pogba accepted an interview with McLaughlin. The questions in this interview mainly asked about Pogba's attitude towards Chelsea and his expectations for the new season.

After listening to the question, Pogba took the microphone directly from McLaughlan: "There are still many teams that want me, but I came to Chelsea because this is a championship team, and championship players should stay in championship teams."

Many teams want him, and you don’t have to think about it to know that they are talking about Manchester United. After all, with Pogba’s price, there are not many teams in the entire top five leagues that can afford him.

"Do you think your joining will improve the team?"

"That's for sure, Chelsea wouldn't have invited me to join if I couldn't help the team"

At this time, Pogba had a light yellow buzz cut, paired with silver plum blossom earrings. With his twisting body, he looked like a spirited young man.

"Chelsea has many stars, such as Hazard, Jiang, Zlatan, William, Terry, what do you think of them?"

Pogba licked his lips: "The first thing I did when I came to London was to go to the base and say hello to the players. They are all very good guys and very strong. Eden and Jiang, especially these two players, playing with them is a challenge for me"

"Well, you are the winner of the 2013 Golden Boy Award, and Jiang is the winner of the 2015 Golden Boy Award. As his senior, do you have anything you want to say to him?"

Pogba smiled and said, "Haha, I don't think there is any such thing as seniors and juniors. Whoever has the ability is great. Jiang's talent is not inferior to mine, so I will get along with him as a friend, not an elder."

Swish swish!
Pogba rubbed his hands and kept moving his body.

“I’m already looking forward to working with my teammates!”

……

A columnist from Dongqiudi reported this interview video of Pogba, and the number of people commenting below reached 8000+.

[Oh my god, if Pogba really comes to Chelsea, then Chelsea will be invincible]

[It’s hard to say, Pogba’s defense is pretty average]

[What's the point of defending? Pogba can just pass the ball to Xiao Jiang or Hazard, and Ibrahimovic can just wait in the penalty area to compete for the header]

[The above fan is a fake fan, are you sure that Xiao Jiang and Hazard, two lone wolves, can pass the ball? Just tell me which game last season Ibrahimovic had more than 20 touches of the ball.]

[Hahahaha, this hurts my heart, old friend]

[Hiss, Terry + Ibrahimovic + Pogba, won’t the Chelsea dressing room explode? ]

[No, Pogba just looks fierce, but he actually has a good relationship with his teammates. If you watch the interview video, Pogba's emotional intelligence is still high]

[Chelsea's games next season will be even more exciting, I'm already looking forward to it]

[With Mourinho's move, will Zakaria really play in the middle? Is my Xiao Jiang so impressive? ]

……

On July 7, London time, Chelsea played their second warm-up match in Austria against the Austrian Super League team Wolfsberg. Because of Pogba's transfer, Chelsea's warm-up match was very popular.

But unfortunately, neither Pogba, Jiang Yuan, nor Hazard played. However, compared with the previous game against Rapid Vienna, Chelsea was a little more serious in this game. Ibrahimovic, Zouma, and William played, Kante made his debut, and finally defeated the opponent 2:0.

The focus of this game was Kante, who made his debut for Chelsea. The Frenchman completed a total of 3 steals and ran the most distance in the game, earning a score of 7.8. Facts have proved that Mourinho's vision is correct, and Kante is indeed Chelsea's first choice for midfield signings in the summer window.

After the game, Mourinho was interviewed by Austrian journalist Alfred.

The issues that Austrian reporters are concerned about are the same as those of the fans. Hazard and Jiang Yuan ended their vacation early, but they did not play in the last two games, and did not even arrive in Austria with the team.

There is also Pogba, the much-watched midfielder who also did not appear in the game roster.

Mourinho's response to this was very simple.

"I have my own considerations. I need to think about the team's next season. But please rest assured, they will play in the next few warm-up matches one after another."

……

Time passed quickly. On July 7, London time, the entire Chelsea team boarded the plane, heading for Los Angeles, the United States.

There, they have an International Champions Cup warm-up match against Liverpool.

The purpose of this warm-up match is simple, to get familiar with the old opponent and at the same time help the club make some US dollars.

On the private plane, Pogba took out a microphone. After Oscar left the team, Pogba became the DJ of Chelsea.

"Hey, babies, what songs do you want to listen to?"

William raised his hand: "OCEANS!"

"Fuck you!"

Pogba gave William the middle finger: "No Portuguese songs, no Portuguese songs!"

William failed to request a song, Pogba looked at Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan had no intention of requesting a song, so he turned his head away. But Pogba did not give up, walked over and patted Jiang Yuan: "Mr. Chinese, DJ Paul is happy to serve you"

"Hey, come on, go find John, he's definitely going to want to hear you sing"

Pogba looked at Terry, who responded: "Paul, listen to me, you can play music, sing songs, whatever you want, but I beg you not to sing, okay?"

"Hahahaha!"

Jiang Yuan patted Pogba's butt: "Paul, did you hear that? The captain is going to be unhappy!"

"Hey guy!"

Pogba spread his hands and said: "I had a little fever last time, believe me, I sing really well"

"Does it sound better than me?"

Zouma looked at Pogba with his big eyes. Unlike Pogba, Zouma couldn't sing at all.

"Get out of my way!"

Pogba looked at Jiang Yuan again and said, "Chinese people are polite. I only sing for polite people. Come on, Jiang, order a song. It doesn't matter what you order. I can sing even songs I haven't heard before!"

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "You can sing something you haven't heard before, are you sure?"

"Of course, I'll show you what musical talent is!"

"Okay!" Jiang Yuan nodded, then opened the Apple Music app on his phone. His two thumbs jumped quickly on the screen, and finally he raised the phone in front of Pogba.

Pogba took a closer look. "My Country and I"

"What the hell is this?"

Pogba wanted to curse, but then he remembered that he had already said it, and if he refused now, he would be losing face.

So Pogba took the phone, looked at the obscure Chinese text on the screen, and looked thoughtful.

Finally, Pogba returned the phone to Jiang Yuan: "Actually... I think sometimes talent can't determine everything, you still have to work hard"

……

At 27:20 on the evening of the 15th, New York time, at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, USA.

This stadium is located in Pasadena, a satellite city of Los Angeles, and can accommodate 92 people. When it comes to commercial sports, the Americans are the best. The Rose Bowl has nearly 542 seats, all of which are single-layer stands. The crowd is so dense that the width of one side of the stands is almost 10 meters.

There is no other way. The more people the venue can accommodate, the more money we can make.

The International Champions Cup is basically a battle between big clubs. Today, the number of people on the scene has reached over 6. Now the game has not started yet. After another 20 minutes, the number of people in the stadium may exceed 7.

CCTV does not have the live broadcast copyright, but LeTV Sports does. But to be honest, I don’t feel the same when watching it on LeTV. It’s better to go to the Happy Beans live broadcast room.

"Brothers, I'm A Kun. Today is Chelsea's International Champions Cup warm-up match against Liverpool. As a 200-year-old Chelsea fan, A Kun is ready for it!"

"This red-blue battle is still very popular. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams."

"Chelsea here..."

Chelsea (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Courtois

Defenders: Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Zouma, Ivanovic
Midfielders: Kante, Hazard, Fabregas
Forwards: Jiang Yuan, Ibrahimovic, Kennedy
Liverpool (4-4-2)

Goalkeeper: Karius

Defenders: Randall, Alberto Moreno, Lovren, Craven
Midfielders: Ejaria, Grujic, Stewart, Coutinho

Forwards: Mane, Firmino

Amid the cheers of the fans, players from both teams entered the stadium one after another.

William's knee has not yet recovered. To be on the safe side, the young Brazilian will not participate in the game, but will just sit on the bench and watch.

In front of the Liverpool bench, German coach Klopp looked at Chelsea's lineup and fell into deep thought.

Just as everyone guessed, Hazard appeared in the attacking midfielder position in his first warm-up match. Together with Jiang Yuan on the left, Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt lineup for next season has basically been determined.

Ibrahimovic is the center forward, Jiang Yuan is on the left, Hazard is the attacking midfielder, William is on the right, and then the two defensive midfielders, Pogba and Kante, this is basically the lineup.

Regardless of how they played, if you are a coach or a fan, you would probably shudder when you see Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt.

The opponent will be afraid before the game even starts. This is the terrifying thing about Chelsea's lineup next season.

In the player tunnel, Jiang Yuan shook hands with Mane and Firmino who were standing beside him.

"come on!"

"come on! Come on!"

……

At the start of the game, Liverpool attacked first with Karius making a long kick from the backcourt, and Mane and Coutinho cooperated to advance towards Chelsea's bottom line. Azpilicueta reacted quickly and ran to the position in the first time to prevent Mane from going further inside.

In the 10th minute of the first half, both sides had two shots. Although neither team scored, the pace was still relatively fast.

Don't think that warm-up matches are just for fun. The management of both sides have made arrangements for this match. You don't have to play at full strength, but you can't play too badly. In addition, all star players, except those who are injured, must go to the grass and kick a few times.

After all, more than 7 fans paid, so Chelsea must show sincerity. Otherwise, if there is a black spot, they will not be able to earn this much US dollars next season.

"Chelsea!"

"Chelsea!"

In the 18th minute of the game, Kante completed a steal and passed the ball to Fabregas, who then pushed forward.

"Give it to me, just give it to me!"

Jiang Yuan ran back to ask for the ball, looked up and found that Kennedy and Ibrahimovic were both in half position, so he started to dribble the ball himself.

Azpilicueta on the left wing went over to the side but was immediately marked by Klavan.

However, Azpilicueta had no intention of dribbling past the defense. His purpose of moving to the side was to serve as Jiang Yuan's wingman.

"Here it comes! Jiang Yuan starts to break through on the left!"

Snapped!
Jiang Yuan sent the ball to the middle with his left foot. Actually, he wanted to pass it to Ibrahimovic in the penalty area, but the force of his kick was a little too strong, and the ball was caught by Kennedy at the back point.

"Ok, Kennedy, let's see if Kennedy will become awesome in America"

"Pass it back to Hazard!"

"Hazard rushed inside with the ball! Well, the rhythm changed very quickly, Hazard passed between Moreno and Lovren and came in front of the goal"

"Just shoot!"

"The ball is in!"

Less than 20 minutes into the first half, Hazard broke through the ball outside the penalty area and scored!
"wowwowowowowo~"

"The goaler is ..."

"Harzard!!!!!"

Hazard remained very calm after scoring the goal. He turned around and high-fived and hugged Ibrahimovic and Jiang Yuan in turn.

Ibrahimovic ruffled Hazard's hair: "Well done!"

Off the field, Liverpool coach Klopp did not look very happy. On the one hand, the reason why Hazard was able to complete the one-on-two pass was because of the quick change in rhythm, and on the other hand, the Liverpool defenders were a bit sleepwalking.

Having returned from vacation, they had already forgotten their identities as professional players. Moreno and Lovren were like greeters at the door of a restaurant. They said "welcome" to Hazard, the guest, opened the door, and then the ball went in.

In this situation, Klopp knows what he should do now.

"Fuck! Alberto you son of a bitch, pat your own head and look at what you are doing now!"

"Don't kick if you don't want to!"

After saying that, Klopp looked at the bench.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Henderson, Wisdom, Markovic and Ojo all started warming up.

There is no restriction on substitutions in warm-up matches, so giants like Chelsea and Liverpool like to use their main lineup in the first half, and replace half of the players with substitutes as soon as the second half starts.

Not only can you train soldiers and young players, but you can also make money at the same time. It’s so cool!
In the 32nd minute of the game, Liverpool got a chance for a quick counterattack through pressing in the frontcourt, but Firmino was intercepted by Kante as soon as he got the ball.

Kante is a really capable guy. No matter it is a formal match or a warm-up match, he will play seriously as long as it is a game, making the Liverpool fans on the opposing side a little confused, as if they are not playing a warm-up match, but the new season has already begun.

After getting the ball, Kante chose to get rid of it on his own. He looked left and right and then walked forward with the ball. He didn't say anything and kicked the ball to Hazard in front of him.

"Hazard dribbled the ball and turned around very quickly! A very beautiful move. You can pass it to Jiang Yuan on the left."

"Choose yourself!"

"Just a kick from the far end!"

"woww!"

Under the gaze of the fans at the scene, Hazard kicked the airplane. The angry Jiang Yuan and Ibrahimovic were yelling at the Belgian superstar, accusing Hazard of not passing the ball to them.

Brown, who was sitting in a chair, stood up and walked towards Mourinho with a notebook: "Should we remind him?"

"Reminder of what?"

At this moment, Mourinho was chewing gum, and there was a strong minty smell in his mouth. Needless to say, it was the American-made Trident.

"Remind Eden to pass the ball, he can't play like that in that position"

Brown said matter-of-factly, jotting down questions in a notebook.

Finding problems in the game is something all good coaches should learn.

Unexpectedly, Mourinho directly grabbed Brown's hand holding the pen and said: "No need. Eden's performance in the first half of last season was average, and a big reason was that he lost confidence. In this situation, we don't need to remind him at all. Let him find his feeling in the warm-up match."

Since Mourinho said so, Brown, as an assistant coach, could do nothing more. He closed his notebook and sat back in his seat.

In the 38th minute of the game, Liverpool launched an attack on Chelsea led by Stewart. Stewart, who had the ball, looked up and made a penetrating through pass. The ball passed by Kante, made an arc and came in front of Mane. The latter stretched out his right foot forward and easily got the ball.

"Fuck, this No. 35 pass is so accurate?"

"Mane! Let's see if Ivanovic can stop Mane"

"Ivan, don't just stand there and wait, go and head him! OK, Ivanovic and Mane were physically engaged, not giving Mane any chance to cross the ball."

"Fuck, Mane knocked Ivan away, what's going on, Ivan, what are you doing?"

Amid the exclamations of A Kun and the Happy Bean players in the live broadcast room, Mane dribbled the ball and cut in from the left. Firmino and Coutinho were waiting for him in the penalty area.

Judging from the looks of the two men, they probably wanted Mane to take a long shot and use the speed of the ball to force Courtois to lose the ball.

But Mane has his own ideas.

"Get up!"

At Terry's whistle, Luiz rushed forward to intercept Mane, who protected the ball with his back and then passed it to the right. Stewart, who had previously launched an attack with a through ball, now appeared on Liverpool's right. Jiang Yuan, who returned to defense, wanted to intercept the ball halfway, but the ball was a bit fast and Jiang Yuan missed it.

Pass it to Stewart, and Stewart passes it directly to the middle!
"Inside the penalty area, Firmino, header!"

"GOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLLLL!!!"

"Perfect head goal!"

fuck!

Although it was a warm-up match, it still felt very uncomfortable to concede a goal.

Liverpool used this goal to prove one thing, that is, Chelsea's midfield defense is not indestructible.

Accurate and fast through balls are what the sweeping defensive midfielder fears the most!

“Let’s go!”

The first half ended with the score remaining at 1:1.

In the Chelsea locker room, Mourinho stood in the middle and spoke: "Well, although it was 1:1, we still had an advantage in the first half as a whole. There are a few key points. N'Golo, you need to strengthen your protection on the right side, because sometimes Cesc can't feel it in time, I need you to fill in the position. Then in the backcourt, David, your reaction is too slow..."

The Rose Bowl Stadium is used for football team games, so the locker room is very large, and there are even some dumbbells and other things inside. Jiang Yuan and Zuma each held a 20-pound dumbbell and played there.

Zouma came out to watch the game today. As for Jiang Yuan, Mourinho wanted to replace half of the main players in the second half, and Jiang Yuan was one of them.

The purpose of this warm-up match has been achieved, so it is likely that both teams will not play seriously in the second half.

57 minutes later!
“Beep, beep—!”

"The game is over. Thanks to Ivanovic's header in the 74th minute of the second half, Chelsea beat Liverpool 2:1 by one goal."

"Brothers, didn't I say before that Liverpool can never beat Chelsea? Was I right?"

"Come, let me see how many people bought with me. If you bet on Chelsea to win, deduct 1."

"No? Why are there only a few people buying from me? You don't believe me, right?"

……

On the other side, Chengdu Sports Center is where the National Olympic Men's Football Team trains for the Olympics. This venue is shared with the SC Provincial Long Distance Running Team, but they are not preparing for the Olympics.

"Well, I'm really tired."

After finishing a short speed training, Zhang Yuning ran off the court to drink water, and by the way, he did not forget to get a bottle for Wu Lei who followed behind him: "Brother Lei! This is for you!"

Zhang Yuning is relatively sensible. Before Jiang Yuan arrived, Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng and Wang Dalei, the three over-age players, were the absolute big brothers in the team. As long as he can get along well with them, Zhang Yuning will not have any conflicts with his teammates during this National Olympic trip.

"Thanks!"

Wu Lei took the water, drank a sip, and then washed his face and hands with the water. The temperature at the end of July is still quite hot, especially in the strong sun like today. He would feel hot after just running a few steps, and had to keep washing his body with water to cool down.

"Yu Ning, do you know what's going on with Zhang Linpeng?"

Wu Lei glanced back and saw that team captain Zhang Linpeng was punished to run 5km. Li Yi didn't explain the reason, but just asked him to run. Wu Lei was completely confused because Zhang Linpeng obviously didn't do anything wrong.

"I think Tie Ge must have his own reasons for doing this."

Zhang Yuning looked at Zhang Linpeng who was running as a penalty.

"If you haven't done anything wrong, you shouldn't be punished. Zhang Linpeng is such a nice guy! Also, I remember that Linpeng has never offended Li Yi. What the hell is this?"

Wu Lei wanted to speak up for Zhang Linpeng, but after thinking it over he gave up.

Liao Lisheng, who had just finished his return run in the distance, hurried over. He came to get some water, but he also heard the conversation between Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning: "Brother Lei, Yuning, I think we should not speak well of Tie Ge behind his back."

"I didn't say anything bad about Tiege"

Zhang Yuning shook his head: "Last season, Tie Ge led China Fortune to be promoted to the Super League, and it was promoted to the Super League in the first season. This is really amazing."

Liao Lisheng nodded. Zhang Yuning's words made sense. Last season, Li Yi led China Fortune from a mid-table team to second place in the league and was promoted to the Super League. In the 20th round of this season, Li Yi temporarily left China Fortune to coach the National Olympic Team. However, at the end of the 20th round, China Fortune, as a newly promoted team, ranked 6th in the Chinese Super League standings.

The newly promoted team finished 6th in the league. If the Chinese Super League was as popular as the Premier League, Li Yi's operations would definitely be called a "miracle" by fans.

"tsk"

Wu Lei's tongue turned half a circle in his mouth. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

"By the way, Brother Lei, you also play in the Chinese Super League. You must have played against China Fortune before. How strong is Brother Tie?"

Facing Zhang Yuning's question, Wu Lei's eyes were somewhat evasive, and finally he replied in a low voice: "Terrible strong"

Of course, this terrifying strength has a prerequisite, and that is domestic competitions.

Because if we look at the international arena, Coach Li’s “tactics” may fail.

"Terrifyingly strong?"

Zhang Yuning frowned, not quite understanding what Wu Lei meant. Strong is strong, what the hell is scary? It was the first time Zhang Yuning heard of a head coach being described as "terrifyingly strong".

Wu Lei pushed Zhang Yuning and signaled him to return to the court with him: "Yuning, let's just train well"
