Chapter 171 If you want to leave, please take me with you.

The next day's high wave was awakened by the sunlight refracted by the windows of the building opposite the apartment.

During this period of time, the team's schedule was frequent, which also caused Gao Bo to be in a state of mental tension for a long time.The position of head coach is inherently extremely stressful. If you don't have the ability to withstand pressure, you will not be able to gain a foothold in this industry.

But proper rest is also the best way to recharge your state.

After the tenth round of the league with Southampton, the team's next game will be a week later, and the players rarely usher in a small period of rest and adjustment.Gao Bo gave the team a day off as a matter of course, and also gave himself and the members of the coaching staff a day off.

Gao Bo rubbed his eyes and woke up from sleep. He had breakfast for a while, and then read the newspaper for a while.

Afterwards, Gao Bo paid attention to the games of other teams in the First Division.

Leeds United and Charlton win again.
Gao Bo curled his lips. The resilience of these two teams is not bad. Leeds United has been winning since losing to Luton, and the point difference between them has not changed.

Gao Bo didn't expect any other teams in the First Division to pose any threat to the two teams. It seemed that everything still depended on himself.

For lunch, Gao Bo invited Qingzi and Lin Sen to eat at a local Chinese restaurant—in fact, the owner of this Chinese restaurant is not a Chinese, but a native Englishman. This guy once stayed in Singapore for a while, and he doesn’t know where he learned half-baked Chinese cooking skills.

Two Chinese and one Japanese, in a food environment like England, can barely accept the small shop called "Connor Chinese Restaurant" opened by the half-baked Chinese chef Connor Chaplin.

"Connor, why is Kung Pao Chicken so sweet?!"

Gao Bo ordered Kung Pao Chicken today, and he complained after the first bite.

Connor Chaplin, despite his surname being the same as the comedian Chaplin, but his weight is definitely more than twice that of the comedian Chaplin, and the Chinese chef Chaplin is a person who is absolutely serious about his profession.

"Isn't Kung Pao Chicken sweet?" Connor said holding up a frying spoon.

"Isn't Kung Pao Chicken sweet?" Jiangsu native Lin Sen also raised his head and asked.

"Isn't that Kung Pao Chicken salty?" Haruko was also confused.

"When I was studying Chinese food in Singapore, my teacher told me clearly that Kung Pao Chicken is sweet!!"

"But I'm Chinese!! Chinese food should be based on Chinese tastes!" Gao Bo raised his hand in protest.

"So is Lin!"

Connor pointed at Lin Sen and said, Lin Sen shrugged and said that he was helpless.

Whether the Kung Pao Chicken is sweet or salty, several people did not argue about the result, and finally the chef's opinion shall prevail.

So Connor Chaplin walked away victorious.

After lunch, Gao Bo decided to visit the Youth Academy.He wanted to check on Li Yuanshan's situation.

Haruko immediately expressed that she would go with her, and Lin Sen was also interested in the Youth Academy.

A few people soon arrived at the youth training center in Luton.

The youth training center located in the suburbs has now started the expansion project. Since the team did not spend too much money in the summer transfer window, Gao Bo decided to upgrade the youth training academy.

The first is the supplement of personnel. Sufficient funds allow Luton to hire more high-level youth training coaches. At least compared with last season, the scale of today's youth training academy has expanded a lot.

The entire youth academy was divided into two parts, one part was maintaining the operation of the college, while the other part was under construction in full swing.

The youth base is much quieter than the base of the first team. There are not many fans who come here to watch the players train on weekdays. Most of them are relatives and friends of the young players themselves, unless there is a youth team match.

In order to prevent the construction site from affecting the normal training of the players, the team also specially used light box cloth to separate the training ground from the construction site under construction.

Youth training director Steve Powell received Gao Bo with a red face.

"What is going to be built over there?" Lin Sen asked, pointing to the construction site in the distance.

"Two new training grounds, youth player dormitories, as well as physiotherapists and a gym!"

Gao Bo said that these things are all decided by him, and the investment is not too big anyway. Compared with the team's income last season, these new things will not bring financial pressure.

"In the future, the scale of the youth training academy will continue to expand. If possible, we can also build the training base of the first team here, so that young players can see the training situation of the first team. This will be their goal!"

Gao Bo stretched his waist, like a small domestic leader inspecting a construction site, while Steve, who was nodding and bowing next to him, was obviously a dog's leg.

Steve is also full of longing for Gao Bo's vision.

But Lin Sen frowned quietly.

"Have you gained anything from the youth training camp recently?" Gao Bo watched the construction site, and of course the most important thing was to look at the performance of the young people.

"Of course, the academy is full of great guys," Steve said with a wink.

"Haha." Gao Bo laughed, and the group walked into the youth training base.

At this time, the U18 players were training on the largest field, and Gao Bo saw Li Yuanshan among them at a glance.Although he is only 15 years old, Li Yuanshan is now training with U18 players, and his physique is enough for him to adapt to the intensity of U18.

Gao Bo nodded in satisfaction. Li Yuanshan was very devoted to the training, and he completed every project without compromise.

"How is his training?" Gao Bo pointed to Li Yuanshan and said.

"Very good. I really don't know what he ate to grow up. His good body is enviable." Steve Powell said, "If it wasn't for the bone age measured during the physical examination, I really don't believe he is only 15 years old, tall."

"It's unbelievable, but it happened," Gao Bo said.

"What about the rest of him?"

"In terms of basic training, he usually trains alone on court No. [-] in the afternoon, starting with the simplest basic exercises. If he had been training with us since he was a child, I would even be sure to train him into a new Drogba." Steve Powell shook his head and said with a sigh.

"Now it's not impossible to become Drogba!" Gao Bo turned his head and said, "As long as he works hard enough."

Steve Powell nodded too.

"Let's take a look at other people's training. Maybe we can gain something else." Gao Bo stood on the sidelines and said while observing the youth team's training.

Gao Bo watched from the sidelines for two hours. When the youth team players saw the head coach on the sidelines, they trained harder.

Gao Bo did have an image of several of the players, and he wrote it down in his small notebook. If the team needs manpower in the future, he can be transferred from the youth team at any time.

On the way back, Lin Sen hesitated to speak.

Gao Bo saw what Lin Sen wanted to say: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Are you going to stay in Luton forever? Bogo??"

Gao Bo thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, it is not 20 years ago now, there is no second Ferguson, but the current football environment can no longer accommodate a character like Ferguson."

Lin Sen nodded. The rise of Chelsea is a sign. The future will be dominated by capital in the football world, and the head coach may return to more technical positions.

"Then why did you invest so much in Luton's youth academy?"

When Lin Sen saw the construction of the youth training academy, he really thought that Gao Bo planned to stay with this team forever.

"After working here for so long, there must be something truly meaningful left behind." Gao Bo smiled.

In Gao Bo's view, if Luton really wants to rise in the future, the key is not how many championships they win now, but their foundation, whether that youth academy can continuously replenish them with fresh blood.

Just like Southampton.

Unless, of course, they can get investment from the wealthy, like Chelsea and Manchester City.
At this moment Haruko suddenly walked up to Gao Bo.

She looked like she had struggled a lot, and then mustered up the courage to raise her head, but she didn't dare to look directly at Gao Bo: "Mr. Gao Bo, if you want to leave Luton, please take me away!"
