Chapter 260 "Old Acquaintance" at Latubi Base

After a long journey, Li Liang finally arrived at the Monaco club's Latubi base on the afternoon of May 5.

He has already checked on the Internet that the Latubi Base is a precious asset left by Wenger during his seven years of coaching at the Monaco Club. The base is built on the edge of the mountainous area outside the main city of the Principality of Monaco.

Even though he has seen this place countless times in the pictures, Li Liang, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help feeling emotional.

After entering the gate of the base, he could see the team training on the field from a distance. Li Liang couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Vasilyev, when will I start training?"

Vasilyev froze for a moment and laughed loudly, "Li, don't worry!
The coaching staff has already formulated a training plan.Let Carlo Spignoli (fitness coach) decide when to start training. "

Vasilyev brought Li Liang to the training ground.

Looking at the professional football training base built on the mountainside in front of him, Li Liang knew that this would be the place where he would sweat for a long time to come.

And how long you can stay here depends entirely on your performance.

Li Liang immediately saw the familiar Yardim, but it was different from when they met in the restaurant in London. Yardim was standing on the sidelines in sportswear with a stern expression.

The players on the field were practicing corner kicks, and Jardim did not speak.

Another middle-aged man who was dressed similarly to him and looked like a teaching assistant was shouting excitedly.

"The lads have to move, it's impossible to get around the defense, cover!
Pay attention to mutual cover! "

He and Vasiliev stood on the sidelines and waited, just looking at the scene in front of him made Li Liang imagine.

There are several players here with a total rating of 75 or above. Will I be teammates with these people from now on?
At the Manchester City base and Cobham base, I have also trained with many big names, but the mentality was completely different at that time.

And now that I have finally become one of them, I feel more pressure——

Can I keep up with them?
"Let's go, Li, they are starting to rest." Vasilyev interrupted Li Liang's reverie.

Seeing Li Liang and Vasilyev approaching, the other team members looked indifferent, and many of them seemed to have not seen it.

When Yardim saw Li Liang, there was a flash of relief in his eyes, but he immediately returned to seriousness.

He held out his hand and said in French, "Welcome to Latoby, Lee.

are you ready? "

Li Liang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately reacted.

He shook Jardim's hand and replied loudly in French: "Sir, I will do everything I can to help the team!"

Hearing Li Liang's fluent French, Jardim finally smiled: "It seems that you are indeed ready!

Well, let me introduce myself to you all. "

After finishing speaking, he shouted: "Jose, let everyone concentrate." Then he took Li Liang to the training ground.

Assistant coach Jose Barros also expressed his welcome. Li Liang had done a lot of homework before. Looking at the stars in front of him, he quickly recognized Jeremy Toulalang and Bernardo Silva , Andre Raj, Ricardo Carvalho and other stars.

Only then did everyone notice Li Liang, and the field fell silent.

Under the gaze of these big men with different skin colors, Li Liang cleared his throat and tried to calm himself down.

He tried his best to smile and said: "Hello everyone, I am Li Liang from Haicheng, China. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to work with you in Latubi. Thank you!"

Seeing the shy Asian in front of him speak fluent French, several team members exclaimed: "This guy speaks French very well...

Does he have a French girlfriend? "

Li Liang's face turned red all of a sudden, everyone laughed and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Jardim shouted again in Portuguese: "Lee, there are a few guys here whose French is worse than mine, please tell them in Portuguese and English again!"

Li Liang had no choice but to follow suit.

After he completed his self-introduction in three languages, the players were all stunned, and the training ground of the first team was quiet.

The team's main goalkeeper, Croatian big Daniel Subasic, shouted: "Hey, Lee!

Are you the interpreter that Vadim (Vasilyev) invited? "

Everyone laughed again, and Li Liang also laughed.

At this moment, a small man came out from behind Subasic and said loudly in blunt Chinese: "Hello, friend, welcome!"

Li Liang was taken aback!
This person has strode forward and embraced Li Liang warmly.

—It turned out to be Brazilian striker Wagner Lowe.

He once played in the Super League for one and a half seasons and left a very deep impression on Chinese fans including Li Liang.

Li Liang suddenly remembered that he found on the Internet that in January 2016, Monaco officially signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Loew.

Not bad, at least I managed to find an "acquaintance" in Latubi.

The first team quickly resumed training. After Vasilyev left, Yardim handed Li Liang over to the fitness coach Spignoli.

Li Liang has been in contact with Spignoli through the Internet, and they are already very familiar with each other.

Spignoli explained to Li Liang friendly: "Li, although Vadim brought back the medical examination report from the best hospital in Haicheng, we still have to conduct another physical examination according to the usual practice."

The medical examination ended quickly, and the results made Spignoli very satisfied.He took Li Liang to Yardim's office.

Seeing Li Liang's medical report, Jardim was also very happy: "The original plan was to let you come here before the end of March, because of the qualifications, I want you to participate in the reserve team first.

For some special reasons, I am sorry that you are late...

The regional league for the reserves is over, so we've adjusted our plans.

Before the end of the season, you first train with the first team in terms of physical fitness.

By the way, I will give you 3 days to adjust the time difference——

Might not be enough, but can be extended if you feel the need. "

Li Liang felt a little regretful, because of the case investigation of Master Jiu, he missed the best time to participate in the competition!
Jardim added: "In order to help you adapt to life here, the club is going to let you share a room with a teammate. Can you accept it?"

Li Liang thought of his "acquaintance" Luo Wei, nodded and replied, "I don't have any questions. By the way, sir, is this Luo Wei?"

Spignoli, who was drinking water next to him, suddenly choked, spewed out a mouthful of water, coughed and apologized repeatedly.

Yadiermu also widened his eyes, looking at Li Liang with a very strange look.

"plum……

Are you familiar with Lowe? "

Li Liang replied honestly: "I'm not familiar with him. He played football in China before, so I thought I lived with him."

Jardim looked relieved and said, "Okay.

I hope you remember that it is best to stay away from Lowe except for football. "
