Chapter 403 New Teammates

On the training ground, Jia Yi saw a lot of new faces, many of whom were potential young monsters discovered by Wenger.

For example, De Bruyne, a Belgian teenager who just turned 16 this year, was dug up by Wenger, and he was promoted to the first team this season. It seems that Wenger has long seen De Bruyne's potential.

This is a superstar player in the future. This season, he obviously has to learn from Jia Yi. After Jia Yi leaves in the future, he can become the core of the Espanyol team.

The 19-year-old Brazilian teenager Paulinho was also recruited by Wenger. Jia Yi naturally knows Paulinho very well. His abilities are very comprehensive. He can be the core of the middle and lower teams, and he can be a rotation player in the first-class teams. .

Paulinho is very good in both defense and offense. If he is well trained, he can make money for the Espanyol in the future.

There is also the 20-year-old Belgian defender Vertonghen, and Wenger has not let it go. This is an outstanding central defender. When he arrives at the Espanyol, he will definitely become the core of the defense.

He has excellent physical fitness and deserves to be vigorously cultivated.

De Gea, Witsel, and Mkhitaryan are also young talents. Wenger's ability to discover young players is really nothing to say.

In the financially poor Espanyol team, it is really difficult to teach, but this happens to be his specialty. Back then, he brought young players to Arsenal, and most of them were kicked out.

These young players will definitely grow up too.

Such an Espanyol team will definitely have a bright future.

As soon as Jia Yi arrived, everyone surrounded him.

"Haha, good morning, guys."

Jia Yiyi hugged his teammates one by one and greeted them with a smile.

The teammates are naturally very enthusiastic.

The original captain Halke also voluntarily abdicated, Jia Yi became the first captain, he retired as the second captain, and Ballack became the third captain of the team.

In team training, the team still focuses on recovery, and Jia Yi's condition is mediocre.

However, his passing still opened the eyes of his teammates.

Especially the through ball, let several forwards, it is very enjoyable, it is quite easy to catch the ball and shoot, throwing off the opponent's defense.

Of course, both Bison and Chalisteas have cooperated with Jia Yi, so there is nothing to say about this.

However, it was the first time for Tamudo and Drogba to practice together with Jia Yi, and the two still cooperated with Jia Yi tacitly, which made Wenger nod his head.

The team is obviously going to fight on multiple fronts this season, so the thickness of the bench is naturally an important part.

The midfielders are also gradually adapting to Jia Yi's scheduling, and Ballack is willing to retreat to the position of the midfielder. He and Jia Yi are in front of each other, and their control over the midfield is really good.

In the past few years playing at Chelsea, Ballack played very aggrieved.

Now he finds that beside Jia Yi, he can play with ease and can give full play to his ability to balance offense and defense.

This also made Wenger overjoyed, which is a big bargain.

If it weren't for Jia Yi, how could Ballack come to the Espanyol?

After a few days of training, the main lineup of the Espanyol team began to leak.

In front of the Bison and Drogba partner, Chalisteas is the main substitute.

Midfielders Jia Yi, Ballack, Vidal, Yaya Toure and De La Pena, these five people firmly control the midfield and are very strong.

The three defenders Vertonghen, Jalke and David Garcia partnered in the goalkeeper position, and Wenger boldly used the young De Gea.

The team then flew to China for a pre-season warm-up match.

Of course, it's good to say that the warm-up match is good, but it's to make money if it's not good.

With Jia Yi's gold-lettered signboard, of course he will go to China to warm up for the gold rush.

Now the Chinese Super League is getting stronger and stronger. During the preparation period before each season, giants from all over the world have to go to China to pan for gold.

There is not only money to be made there, but the quality of the warm-up is also very high, but the distance is a bit long and it is easy to fatigue the players.

The first stop on arrival in China is Shanghai Stock Exchange.

The Espanyol team is still very popular, of course, mainly because of Jia Yi's popularity.

In the past, it was Munich 1860 and Arsenal. Now it is the Espanyol's turn to become the home team of Chinese fans in Europe.

At the airport, the enthusiasm of the fans made the players of the Espanyol team a little flattered, especially those little-known players. At this time, Chinese fans can ask them to sign, beautiful fans come to take photos with them, and even kiss them. Feel self-esteem is powerfully satisfied.

On July 7, the Espanyol team played a warm-up match with Shenhua.

The 8-person stadium is also full of seats.

Jia Yi received huge cheers when players from both sides entered the field.

Shenhua players are also a little embarrassed, who is the home team?
After the start of the game, the home team was in better shape.

They used their skillful cooperation to continuously play behind the three defenders.

Now many young players have emerged, which is very different from Jia Yi's cognition. Many players have never heard of their names.

Therefore, the opponent's offense also kept De Gea busy, high-resistance and resistance, becoming the busiest person in the opening stage.

However, at 11 minutes, Jia Yi suddenly took a long shot from the middle, which hit the opponent's defender Cao Degang's leg and refracted into the net, but the Espanyol team took the lead.

This change also changed the direction of the game.

In the 19th minute, Jia Yi kicked through again after a breakthrough in the frontcourt, and the Bison entered the penalty area and scored with a volley, 0:2!

Bison's strong body played a role. When he broke through, the opponent couldn't stop him at all.

At this time, Wenger began to make substitutions.

Jia Yi and Ballack both came down to rest.

Of course, the main purpose of this kind of warm-up match is to warm up, not to win or lose.

After the two came down, the Shenhua team immediately took the initiative again.

However, Paulinho and Vidal still played very well in the midfield and did not give each other many opportunities.

In the 39th minute, Drogba scored with a header from a corner kick, 0:3, and the Espanyol team completely opened the score.

The score in the first half was 0:3.
In the second half, the two sides continued to make substitutions.

Many young players of the Espanyol team went up to play to show their strength and seek cooperation with their teammates.

In the 55th and 60th minutes, however, the Shenhua team narrowed the point difference to 1 point because Tao scored two goals in a row.

In the 78th minute, Tamudo made a cold shot from the front of the penalty area and finally locked the score at 2:4.
After the game, players from both sides exchanged jerseys in a friendly manner. This kind of warm-up is obviously very effective.

In the post-match press conference, Wenger was as tactful as ever: "The Shenhua team is very strong, and they can at least play in the mid-range position in La Liga.

The effect of our warm-up is still achieved. Jia Yi's scheduling in the opening stage is what his teammates need to learn. Maximizing efficiency is the most important part of the offense. "

Three days later, the Espanyol team had another warm-up match with the Jiangnan football team in Nanjing.

The Jiangnan football team broke into the Chinese Super League last year. The team has strong financial resources and there are many European international players in the team.

For example, the German striker Neuville is in this team, and the young Brazilian striker Hulk is also in this team.

At the beginning of the game, the Jiangnan football team successfully counterattacked in the frontcourt. Hulk suddenly volleyed vigorously from outside the penalty area, and the ball hit the net, 1:0!

This muscular man also celebrated wildly, looking very excited.

In fact, this is just a warm-up match, why is it necessary to be so excited?

Maybe Hulk also thinks that Wenger can pay attention to himself for a while, right?
It would definitely be a good thing if he could play for the Espanyol.

But now that the Espanyol already has Drogba, Chalisteas, Aloisio and Tamudo on the forward line, they should not introduce a fifth forward.

In 20 minutes, Jia Yi picked a pass from the middle, Drogba suddenly turned around and shot coldly after stopping the ball in the chest, the ball was refracted again, leaving the opponent's goalkeeper helpless, 1:1.
It seems that the opponent is a bit aggrieved, but there are still some problems with Drogba's defense.

Not only can Drogba be a fulcrum, his shots are sometimes full of suddenness.

In the 39th minute, Drogba scored before receiving a corner kick from Jia Yi, 1:2, and the Espanyol team overtook the score.

Subsequently, he and Jia Yi were replaced.

There is no problem with the cooperation between the two, and they have a good understanding. This pair of partners will definitely score a lot of goals in the future.

The two sides also played very seriously afterwards. It seems that they both cherish this warm-up opportunity.

In the 56th minute, the teenager De Bruyne suddenly took a long shot after breaking through the frontcourt, and the ball also went into the net, 1:3.
De Bruyne ran to the sidelines to bask in his freckles in the spotlight.

This kid's breakthrough is still very beautiful, and the other two can't hold it back.

And this shot was accurate, it was quite hard!
Wenger on the sidelines was also satisfied with his vision.

Later, the two sides scored another goal. In the end, the Espanyol team won the second warm-up match of the trip to China 2:4.

Subsequently, the team flew back to Barcelona to prepare for the new season.

Regarding the team lineup, Wenger also began to make drastic reductions.

Some people come in, and some people leave. Now the team has a huge lineup, and it must be reduced to about 24 people.

Otherwise, it can only be a waste.

Although these people can only recover some small money, it is still worthwhile to lose weight for the team.

They definitely have a place in the middle and lower teams. It is a good thing for them and the Espanyol to leave. Otherwise, they can only sit on the bench if they stay.

Riela went to the newly promoted Valladolid for 350 million euros, and there must be a place for him.

Fernandez is also 350 million euros. Going to the Levante team can help this team avoid relegation. He will never get a chance in the Espanyol team.

Moiles went to Mallorca for 400 million euros. Mallorca is a mid-range team, and he still has a great chance to go.

These few people are all capable and not well-known players among them. It is still very good to be able to recover 1100 million euros for the Espanyol team.

After personnel adjustments, the Espanyol team's lineup is much better, with 24 players, fully capable of multi-line operations.

Their first game of the new season is the UEFA Champions League qualifying match on August 8th, against the Swiss Super League team Elfsburg at home. For this, the players and fans are probably already impatient.
