What exactly will be in the training treasure chest in Chapter 38?
After dinner, since Wilkins still had work to do, he arranged for Ryze, who had just picked up Su Yu from the airport, to take him around the Cobham training facility.
As one of Abramovich's most representative infrastructure investments since taking over Chelsea, the Cobham training ground is as luxurious as Wilkins said, absolutely unparalleled in the Premier League.
The 140-acre site boasts 22 standard football fields, including 6 pitches that meet English Premier League standards and 3 of which are equipped with underfloor heating systems.
Of course, besides the sports field, the base also has a media center, conference rooms, a multi-functional fitness area, a cold water soaking pool, a sauna, and everything that should and shouldn't be there!
In short, Abramovich, who deeply loves Chelsea, has indeed brought the best of the world to the club.
.............................
After touring the base for a while, it was already around 5 p.m.
Since Zheng Zhi hadn't returned yet, Su Yu could only take Gangsas with him to the new accommodation that Chelsea had arranged for him.
An apartment building about ten kilometers away from the base.
Although the fact that the assistant coach personally picked Su Yu up at the airport showed Chelsea's high regard for him, Su Yu was, after all, just a bottom-tier loan player.
Even if Chelsea were incredibly wealthy, they wouldn't provide a detached villa for a player of Su Yu's caliber.
However, even if it's just an apartment...
Compared to the slums Su Yu used to rent in Barcelona, a four-room apartment of over 150 square meters is a huge upgrade for him now!
Most importantly, someone had already prepared all the daily necessities in the apartment, so Su Yu only needed to move in with his bags.
"Hey! How are you going to get to the base if we have training tomorrow?"
Seeing that everything was okay, Su Yu put his luggage into the largest bedroom. Gangsas, who had been looking around, suddenly said.
How do I get to the base?
Upon hearing Gangsas's question, Su Yu immediately realized what was going on.
Yes, the training base is more than ten kilometers away from here. Chelsea staff just brought me here.
Should I take a taxi there tomorrow?
Run over there?
After running more than ten kilometers, what's the point of training with my pitiful physical condition?
Taking a taxi for a day or two is fine, but taking taxis all the time isn't a solution.
"Gansas, let's buy a car. I'm going to training tomorrow, can you go and check out some cars for me?"
After thinking it over and looking at his account balance on his phone, Su Yu spoke with unprecedented arrogance.
The Olympic prize money is already in my account, and now that a car is a necessity, I can't save that money.
"Haha, Su! Mercedes or Audi? As a player from a top club, you definitely deserve a car!"
"My God, what are you saying? Gansas, I mean, go check out the used car market for me, a few thousand pounds is fine, I won't consider anything over 1!"
"Fuck! Su! You..."
...........................
Nothing more was said that night!
The next morning at six o'clock.
Gangsas was still sleeping, while Su Yu got up on time, skillfully made himself some breakfast, and then did half an hour of basic training on the balcony in the living room before packing his bags and heading out.
Scolari had already mentioned yesterday that he would have to participate in the first team's training today, which truly surprised and delighted Su Yu.
There was nothing he could do; ever since Su Yu drew the official template, no matter how hard he practiced, the system never responded.
In the end, Su Yu guessed that the training chests and competition chests that boosted the system's attribute points would only be triggered when he was in the training ground of a team at the level of one of the top five European leagues.
So when Scolari told him to train directly with the first team, Su Yu didn't care whether he could make the roster or not. What Su Yu really cared about was how much his attributes would improve after a day of training.
If I could improve by one point a day... that would be amazing.
First, I'll max out my passing skill, which is already at 80....
With maxed-out passing skills right from the start, even Messi would be drooling!
...................................
In about ten minutes, around seven o'clock, Su Yu arrived at the Cobham training base.
Because he had already informed the security guard yesterday, Su Yu was able to enter the base smoothly and walk to the changing room.
Su Yu originally thought that there was still an hour and a half before the team's training session started at 8:30, and that the locker room should be empty. However, when he opened the locker room door, he found that someone was already changing clothes inside.
The first thing that catches the eye is a dark-skinned, tough guy in the very center.
With that massive, dark physique that could easily send him flying several meters, plus his long, flamboyant hair, Su Yu could accurately call out his name just from his back view—Didier Drogba, the three-bar man.
Many people say that Drogba was able to stay at his peak from the time he joined the club until his departure because of his hard work in training. Looking at him today, they are right.
Of course, Drogba wasn't the only one who arrived early. Su Yu also saw the equally tough and dark-skinned Michael Essien, as well as the soul of Chelsea and one of England's best midfielders - Frank Lampard, and that... Chelsea's iron-blooded captain Terry, who has a bit of a scandal!
Su Yu saw the four powerful figures, and the four who had been chatting and laughing also turned their gazes towards him as Su Yu entered.
"You are...SU?"
Although Su Yu hasn't officially met the team members yet, Terry, as the captain, naturally knows that his team has a new player who arrived yesterday, a Barcelona substitute goalkeeper named Su... Su something Chinese.
"Yes, good morning, Captain!"
After all, he is the captain, and also the captain of both the England national team and Chelsea.
To make a name for himself at Chelsea, Su Yu knew he absolutely couldn't afford to offend Terry, so he quickly took the initiative to greet him.
Good morning, Su!
The NBA has a habit of bullying rookies, and similarly, football clubs also have a tradition of bullying rookies.
However, at Chelsea, this tradition was forcibly changed by Mourinho long ago.
However, the bullying is gone, but at least people can ignore you!
As a top star, and since they've never even heard of you, it's normal for them to ignore you!
Su Yu had intended to greet the other three, but before he could even speak, Drogba, Essien, Lampard, and the others turned back to their previous conversation.
What big, what feel... it's like they're reliving their party yesterday.
Got it!
Seeing that he was being ignored, Su Yu was too lazy to keep trying to win him over.
After all, he's been here for two and a half years, and he's already gained a lot of experience as a trainee!
On the football field, skill is everything.
Without ability, why should others treat you as an equal, especially considering that not a single Chinese person has ever succeeded in the entire Premier League!
If you want these top stars to take you seriously, all you need to do is show them your talent, your future, and your value!
