As early as Tottenham Hotspur released the renderings of the Theobald training base, everyone was full of expectations and envy for this training base, not only because of the modern and advanced facilities here, but also because of the beauty of the place.

Each building here is not high, whether it is the training building of the first team or the training building of the youth team, there are only three floors, among them, the training building of the first team is relatively small, because it is only used by the first team, but the training building of the youth team is very large, because the young players of each age group have their own locker room, tactical room and medical room and other facilities.

Every building here is professionally designed, and the architectural style of the entire training base is very uniform, which is why it took a total of three years for the training base to be completed

The construction of the training building is relatively modern, with sharp edges and corners, and this kind of construction method of using reinforced concrete is actually not difficult, after all, there are only three floors, and the real difficulty of the entire training base lies in the two sets of indoor training grounds.

Theobold training base has four sets of indoor football fields, one is a ball throwing machine training room, and the other is a small indoor football stadium, which has three-a-side, five-a-side, seven-a-side indoor football competition venues, and because they are all small fields, it is not difficult to build, as long as the design is reasonable, for the supporting columns to make reasonable arrangements.

The real difficulty is the two indoor training grounds for the first team and the youth team.

The indoor training ground for the first team is the standard football field size, but there is definitely some leeway around the perimeter, so the overall building size is slightly larger than the standard football field, so there is a problem because no pillars are allowed in the field.

In fact, many clubs, even now, do not have indoor training grounds in Chelsea's Cobham training ground, a very important reason is that indoor training grounds are very troublesome to build, and no pillars are allowed in such a large area, which undoubtedly requires very professional design to be able to do.

Tottenham Hotspur's two indoor training grounds have been completed and are being built, one for the first team and one for the youth team, both of which are standard football pitch sizes, but the first team is dedicated and the youth team is combined.

The design of the two indoor training bases is made of steel frame structure, consisting of eleven steel frames with a circular arc and a ground span of 80 meters, because considering the span, as well as the rain and snow that occurs in London almost every year, so this requires very high steel, especially durability and strength, after all, this indoor training ground is to be used for more than ten years or even decades.

Because it is in the shape of an arc, that is, similar to the shape of the arc top of the large forbidden area, the two training bases look very beautiful from the outside, and the roof of the training ground will be made of a copolymer called ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene, referred to as PTPP film, which has very excellent scratch resistance, wear resistance, high temperature and corrosion resistance, and very high insulation and safety, but the weight is very light and thin, the earthquake resistance is very good, and it can be used in extremely harsh environments such as minus 200 to 150 degrees Celsius for more than 15 years.

The Eden Botanical Garden, which is known for turning waste into treasure in Cornwall, England, is built on the ruins of this PTPP membrane as a roof, even if everyone in a rugby team runs and jumps on it, or even plays a rugby game, it will not break, which shows how high its safety performance is.

The presence of two indoor training grounds, along with the surrounding buildings and the lush green turf, makes the entire aerial view and renderings of Tottenham Hotspur's Theorebold training base look a bit like an immetrical, but very striking board.

This made many fans of Zeus mobile phone look at it, and immediately realized that it must be from the hand of Jonathan Ivey, this Englishman has designed houses and buildings for himself and his friends many times, and his designs always have a strong industrial and IT atmosphere, and Theobald also participated in the design, but many professional details are still handed over to the architectural designer to be responsible.

No one can deny that it's not even fully completed, but it is already considered the best designed football training base by fans in the world, but for now, Tottenham Hotspur is only open to their own fans.

Free access to the Theorebold training base is available to anyone who holds an official membership card from Tottenham Hotspur, a season ticket for any age group at the club, or a registered member of a fan organisation recognized by the club.

So, on July 3rd, the Theobold training base welcomed thousands of fans.

Because on this day, Tottenham Hotspur officially started the training camp of the new season

"Isn't there a little more people?"

Arriving at the Theobold training base, the players are still getting used to everything in the new training base.

They were all strange, but at the same time full of surprises, because they found that everything here was a world away from the old Siegwell's training base, even the turf was much softer than Siegwell's.

"It's good to have more, it proves that we're popular," Ribery said with a smile as he warmed up on the spot.

Although there are a lot of fans who come, they have been checked by the security guards at the gate, and they are only let in after making sure that they are safe, and after coming in, they are all standing outside the stadium in a well-behaved manner, silently watching the players in the field warm up, and the staff placing training equipment.

With seven players in the squad playing in the Copa America and, unfortunately, although the group stage of the Copa America has ended, the seven players of Tottenham Hotspur's Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Peru have all reached the knockout rounds, so the return of these players will have to wait until at least late July.

There are good and bad, Tottenham Hotspur's several international performances are also good and bad, in the Brazilian national team, whether it is Thiago Silva, Alves or Marcelo, they can't play the main force for the time being, they are just substitutes for the team, although they have all played, but they have not got many opportunities.

On the contrary, in the Argentine national team, Mascherano and Messi are the main players of the team and the pillars of the team, and both of them have performed well, while Uruguay's Cavani is also not the main team.

On the contrary, in Peru, Vargas became Peru's best player, especially in his debut in the Copa America, Peru defeated Uruguay 0, and Vargas became the most eye-catching player in Peru's attack, which also made Vargas famous.

Because there are seven players playing in the Copa America, Ye Qiuyu directly transferred a number of players from the youth team to the first team to train with the first team, including several young players introduced by the team this summer, such as Pogba, Varane, etc., as well as Neymar who came to London from Brazil to train with the team.

Neymar will train with the team for a period of time before returning to Brazil, and the team will also observe and evaluate Neymar during this period of time, get a more detailed set of data, and include him in the team's key observation objects to help him grow and improve in the future.

In Mascherano's absence, Beckham took on the role of captain of the team, and during the warm-up before the morning training, he specially introduced Modric, Ramsey and several young players in the team to his teammates, after all, everyone will be training together for the next period of time

Intensive training! On the first day, the main thing is to familiarize everyone with the Theobald training base, so the first day will be open to all the fans and the media, and tomorrow, the team will return to the three practices a day at the beginning of the season to prepare for the new season.

At half past nine, Ye Qiu and the coaching staff walked out of the training building on time, which immediately caused a burst of cheers at the scene, and Ye Qiu and the coaching staff also greeted the fans and the media with a smile, but they did not linger at all and went directly to the training ground.

"How's the holidays?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

The newcomers may still be a little nervous, but the veterans all seem to be relaxed.

"Not bad"

"It's just a little shorter"

"It would be more pleasant to have a girlfriend, don't you think, head?"

There are all kinds of answers, the atmosphere of the scene looks very relaxed, the laughter is constant, and even some players seem to treat the manager as if they are air, making jokes wantonly, such as sarcasm that someone doesn't have a girlfriend, sarcasm that someone is too greedy, etc.

This kind of scene has surprised some of the newcomers, is this the atmosphere in the Tottenham Hotspur team?

They are on the training ground on weekdays, in front of the head coach, they are all so unscrupulous jokes

"Okay, okay, you guys, you guys, you guys, you guys also have to think about the psychological feelings of our group of people who don't even have a vacation, okay?" After Ye Qiu laughed for a while, he shouted to stop.

Everyone knows that Tottenham Hotspur moved to the training base this summer, and the coaching staff and the staff of the training base did not have a holiday, so when they heard Ye Qiu say this, everyone stopped, but many of the coaching staff laughed.

"Today is the team's training camp! On the first day, I believe that everyone is still relatively unfamiliar with the new training base, and our training task today is very relaxed, mainly to adjust, after training, everyone can walk around and see everywhere. ”

As soon as they heard Ye Qiu say this, this group of monkey-like players all laughed and looked a little excited, and some of them even wanted to try the team's advanced training facilities that had already been revealed by the media, such as hot and cold swimming pools, such as the anti-gravity treadmill that was said to be developed by NASA, and so on.

"I don't care how your vacation has been in the past period, but all in all, for the next month or so, you will all be living in hell, I promise"

At this moment, Ye Qiu's smile was full of demonic aura in the eyes of the players, and what he brought was absolute

"At the end of the day, everyone has half an hour to go to the analysis center, which is the single-story building next to our training building, your old friend Professor Peter Brandt is waiting for you, I believe you all know the rules of the road, go ahead"

With Ye Qiu's words, many people present did not have much pressure, but there were also many people who looked worried.

"David, what's the problem?" Modric asked Beckham a little strangely when he saw his teammate like this.

Beckham insisted on exercising even during the holidays, so the physical examination was not a problem for him at all, so he smiled easily, "We do regular physical examinations every day, but they are very simple ones, for example, they will only make you jump as hard as you can on a weight-measuring machine platform, or run on a treadmill for a few minutes." ”

"But every season and every time we leave the team for a long time, such as the national team game, after returning to the team, we have to have a very detailed physical examination, even including blood and heartbeat, and in addition to observing whether the players are overweight and whether there are injuries, the most important thing is to get various physical indicators."

Modric was a little surprised to hear from the sidelines, these things he had never heard of at Dinamo Zagreb before, the team at that time was a laissez-faire approach, at most it was to check your weight and so on, as long as you don't have injuries, they don't care about you, and even sometimes when there are injuries, they don't give special treatment.

"You'll understand after a long time, it's a little more troublesome, but the physical examination is basically before training and warm-up, and this can help you reduce injuries to the greatest extent, which is a great benefit for any professional player," Beckham patted Modric on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Fans and media outside the stadium didn't know what Tottenham Hotspur was going to, so they chased after it, but they could only get to the door of the analysis center, and were not allowed to enter, which made this analysis center full of an element called mystery.

"Mr. Ye Qiu"

Taking advantage of the fact that the players had gone for a physical examination, Ye Qiu took the initiative to go to the media reporters and fans.

"Welcome to Theobold," Ye Qiu greeted the people present with a smile.

Amid the shouts of the fans, the reporters took out their voice recorders.

"Can you answer us a few questions?"

"I thought you were just here to visit today, but I didn't expect to bring equipment," Ye Qiu joked with a smile, "Of course, you can just ask." ”

As soon as they heard Ye Qiu say this, even the fans on the side quieted down.

So, he interviewed this group of reporters across the barbed wire.

"Tottenham Hotspur finished third in the Premier League last season and we're all curious to know, what do you expect from Tottenham Hotspur in the new season? Many people think that the team will lose the main striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the offensive ability will be weakened, what do you think? ”

For these questions, Ye Qiu has long been mentally prepared and has the answers to deal with them.

"First of all, first of all, I hope that the team can make a breakthrough in the new season last season, of course, I know that it will be difficult because the competition in the Premier League will be more brutal than ever before, and we can all see that our opponents are constantly strengthening, and this will be a cruel test for us."

"The second question, the departure of Luther is a regret for me and everyone at Tottenham, he is a great scorer and a player that all Tottenham players and fans respect, and we all hope that he can continue his success in Spain, but I am sure that we will find a good way to fill the problems caused by Luther's departure."

A reporter at the scene immediately asked: "Are you talking about Van Persie?" ”

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, noncommittal, "Robin is a very good striker, he has a strong ability, and his performance last season was also very good, not only him, Cavani and Carroll, are all strikers with great potential and strength, I believe that in the new season, they will all play a bigger and more important role." ”

"Mr. Ye Qiu" another reporter spoke, "You just said that the competition in the Premier League in the new season will be very fierce, for this, I believe everyone agrees, because whether it is Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal, they have invested a lot in the recruitment link this season, but only Tottenham Hotspur seems to have been slow to move." ”

Ye Qiu shook his head with a smile after hearing this, "I have to correct one point, we have brought in Luka Modric, which is an important addition for us to strengthen the team's midfield in the new season, and we have brought in Aaron Ramsey from Cardiff, this is a young player with great potential, so we don't have reinforcements, I don't agree." ”

After listening to this, the reporters all laughed, so someone asked: "Then what do you think of Tottenham Hotspur's recruitment in the new season, many people think that you have not at least put Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer fee into the transfer market." ”

"I have to clarify one thing first" Ye Qiu smiled and looked at everyone present, "I believe that not only journalist friends, but also our Tottenham fans have such doubts, but I have to explain, why do you want to transfer?" ”

"The transfer has only one purpose, to fill the gap in the squad and strengthen the team."

Ye Qiu's words were recognized by everyone present.

'We had a good run in the second half of last season and I don't think we had too much of a problem with the overall framework, and we had the lowest average age in the Premier League last season and will be the same this season, which means we have a lot of potential to tap into the players in our squad.

'Yes, Luther's departure has had an impact, but we should all see that Robin van Persie did really well last season, so I don't think we should move for the sake of a transfer, on the contrary, I want to give these young players more opportunities.'

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled again: "Of course, I don't rule out that with the training camp and!" At the beginning of the warm-up game, I will suddenly change my mind, but I always believe that the formation of a team's combat effectiveness depends on the whole team, or the strong fighting strength formed by everyone in the team itself, rather than relying on the introduction of stars. ”

"Well said"

"That's a good point"

"We all support you, Mr. President"

"Tottenham Hotspur will always be the best"

After listening to this, the Tottenham fans at the scene all seemed very excited, cheering loudly over there, obviously very satisfied with Ye Qiu's answer, because during the entire interview process, Ye Qiu seemed very calm and extremely confident.

And often, this attitude of his can infect the people around him and bring them confidence.
