Chapter 192: Accepting "Disciples" and Sorting Out (1)

It was another sunny day, and Lao Lei, who was limited by the doctor's training time, came to the beach again, and looked at those beautiful bikini figures on the recliner. Thankfully, Kayla went shopping with Cindia today and wasn't by Ray's side. Otherwise, Lao Lei's arms and waist would inevitably have a few more bruises and pinching marks on the tender flesh.

At this time, two days have passed since the picture with Florentino, and the result of the meeting is not bad, at least that's what Lao Lei himself thinks. Although he was not seduced by the nonsense of "do you want to play for Real Madrid", Lao Lei still promised Florentino that if he left Chelsea, he would definitely consider Real Madrid first and had no practical meaning. Thankfully, however, Florentino didn't seem to be dissatisfied, at least with a gentle smile on the surface.

After Florentino and Mendez left, Ray resumed his happy vacation life. The injury to his right foot is more difficult to heal than he thought, but it is not a major problem, and as long as there are no major incidents, he will be fully recovered before the start of the new season, and at best he will miss the Community Shield. So at this time, Lao Lei doesn't have any psychological pressure at all, as long as he enjoys the holiday wholeheartedly.

In the midst of this pleasant time, the time quickly came to July. At this point, most of the transfers for most teams are almost finalized, and apart from a few possible big deals, the basic rosters of each team should already be in place. In such a situation, the pre-season training camp of each team will also be launched one after another. Most of the players' summer break is effectively over at this point, and after the leisurely days, they are once again coming together to prepare for another busy season that is about to begin.

Among them, Lao Lei, who has not fully recovered from injury, could have continued his vacation and postponed it to the time reported by the team. Regarding this point, Mourinho, who has always been an iron fist in the army, also deliberately opened up and proposed this special treatment to Lao Lei. With his status and prestige at Chelsea in front of Lao Lei, Mourinho is not afraid of any objections. However, it was Lao Lei himself who refused this mention and came to the team on time to report with his right leg that had not completely recovered from the injury.

It's not that he's strictly disciplined by the team or anything, it's that after Kayla left and returned to his busy schedule, he couldn't stay alone. With an injured right leg, Lao Lei is already tired of doing crooked alone. For him, it's better to go back to the team than to have a lot of teammates and friends to gag with him, which makes it easier to beat the boredom.

Of course, he will definitely not fail to tell these truths. Looking at the awe-inspiring eyes of the new players, Lao Lei accepted it unceremoniously. However, he didn't enjoy this treatment for long. When Mourinho took the team around to play warm-up matches, Lao Lei could only carry out personal recovery training at Chelsea's training base alone, accompanied by the team doctor. Although Lao Lei also insisted on training hard in the system during his vacation, it was all about his mind and brain. In terms of body muscles and motor nerves, he also needs a lot of physical recovery to get his body and his sense of the ball to the best condition.

This is a process that any player who has returned from injury has to go through, and Lao Lei is no exception. Of course, he didn't think about using the system to skip this process, but as soon as he saw the price of 30 sin points, he was discouraged, and said that the master had time, which was not bad. But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this one, with an undisguised tired face, is not a patient person at first glance.

But fortunately, Lao Lei soon received a big gift from Mourinho, a gift that would keep him from being bored for a long time to come. Looking at the black and hard in front of him, who was the same age as himself, Lao Lei showed a very friendly smile to Chelsea's prospective newcomer Ghanaian rising star Essien. It's just that his smile is not like the relaxed and natural way to do to his peers, but rather a little like that of an elder like Master. In fact, it is true, maybe there will be no actual master-apprenticeship between Lao Lei and Essien. But according to Mourinho's orders, Essien will be under the guidance of Lao Lei for a period of time in the coming period.

As the one who had always been mentored, the bored old Ray took on the task with great interest, even though he was the same age as Essian. But Lao Lei also has such an unceremonious capital, as one of the best players in the world at the moment, the top midfielder, he undoubtedly has the qualifications to coach Essien, who has just made a name for himself in European football. You must know that in the current world football, Lao Lei is recognized as the super back back who is "closest to the perfect modern back".

Quite well, Essien doesn't seem to think so. Although he was limited by Mourinho's order, as a newcomer with no qualifications, he had to accept this order, but this does not mean that he will be willing to complete this task. Even knowing that the man standing in front of him is the banner of Chelsea's new king, Stamford Bridge, the will of this man is almost inviolable if he wants to establish himself at Chelsea. But as long as he thought of Lao Lei's age, the pride and sharpness of the young man in Essien's bones could not be suppressed. Even if he knows that Lao Lei, whether in terms of strength or prestige, is far from what he can compare with now, but when he became famous at a young age, he also has the stubbornness and never-admitting strength that all talented young people have.

Regarding this, although Esin himself did not say it, Lao Lei still saw it very lightly. Because Esin himself did not hide this, the naked impatience and reluctance in his eyes could naturally be clearly seen by Lao Lei, who was far from the age of presbyopia. "Interesting!" Instead of being annoyed by Essien's attitude, Old Ray became more interested. To be honest, if Essien had been an obedient and well-behaved young man, then Old Ray would not have been of any interest.

For now, though, he's interested. Taming a wild horse that does not admit defeat like a teacher, this kind of fresh task makes Lao Lei a little excited. "Looks like we're going to have to shake this kid first." Looking at the rebellious Essien, Lao Lei thought secretly in his heart.

"I don't think I have to clean myself, you should know who I am. And I've already learned about your information from the beginning, so I think we can skip the part of introducing ourselves to each other and go straight to the point. I'm sure you already know what we're going to do in the coming period. Seeing Essien, who showed a look of disgust, Lao Lei ignored it, and continued to say in a teacher's earnest tone: "But before we do these things, we first have to solve some things. Among them, for example, is the question of your affection. Students who are unwilling to learn will not learn anything useful. ”

"I can tell that you are very unconvinced that I am my age to teach you. So in order to solve this problem, we first have to have a small competition. If someone is not convinced, then you will be convinced, this is the way I have always done things. Even though you're my teammate now, nothing will change. I won you, and you'll have to listen to me for the rest of your time. How's that, do you agree with this mention? ”

"What if I win?" Hearing this, Essien couldn't help but reply defiantly. "Then I'll do whatever you want for the next period of time. Head there, I'll say it. Seeing that Essien was really stimulated to agree, Lao Lei's eyes couldn't help but show a smug smile, and he said the answer that had been drafted a long time ago.

Then, the small competition between Lao Lei and Essien began. The content of the competition between the two of them is very simple, that is, to see who can use a predictive defensive way to cut off the football from the feet of their respective opponents without using their bodies and without fouls. Both men have 20 chances each, and whoever succeeds more wins. Two of them were played against two of the sharpest players in the Chelsea Academy who were called by the assistant coach of the old Leirang.

In Essien's opinion, the content of this kind of competition is too big for the old Leto, after all, he still has a right leg that is not very neat. But how did he know that Lao Lei's arrangement of the content of the competition had been prepared for a long time. Through Guò Mourinho's information with Lao Lei, Lao Lei has long had a detailed understanding of all the advantages and disadvantages of Essien. With his outstanding physique, quick movements, great mobility, and monster-like physique, Essien can be said to have all the excellent elements that can become the world's top defensive midfielder.

But with the advantages, there are disadvantages. Compared to the slow-paced Ligue 1, the pace of the Premier League is as fast as pressing a shortcut. The pace of action has left Essien overly reliant on his physical approach to defending and unable to adapt to Chelsea's rhythm and the Premier League environment as a whole. The deficiencies in defensive awareness and prediction are what Mourinho wants Lao Lei to guide Essien the most.

In this way, the sinister intentions of the rules of this competition are very clear. Without using his body, he is purely fighting for defensive awareness and prediction, even if his right leg is still injured, Lao Lei is confident that he can completely blow up Essien. Looking at the Ghanaians who fell into the trap and still didn't know, Lao Lei couldn't help but joke proudly in his heart: "Well, yes, he is a sincere person!" ”

Soon, the two Academy players were led by the assistant coach to the first team's training base, and from the excited and eager expressions on their faces, it was clear that they would definitely give their all in the rest of the competition. And this is exactly what Lao Lei needs, although the foot skills of English players are generally not as good as those of Spain, Portugal and other countries. However, their over-reliance on speed and physical flexibility is the most important test of the defender's instantaneous anticipatory awareness, especially in the current situation of non-competition, pure competition.

Lao Lei is obviously very satisfied with his own setup.

At this time, his long, slender eyes narrowed like a living cunning fox.

He has long been bored, and has regarded Essien as his new plaything.

"Hey, there's something to play! Hehehe"

Lao Lei instantly entered a blackened state. R1152
