As early as Tottenham Hotspur released the renderings of Theobord 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 magnificence here.

Each building here is not high. Whether it is the first team training building or the youth team training building, it only has three floors. Among them, the first team training building is relatively small because it is only for first team use, but the youth team training building is large because every young player of every age has his own locker room, tactical room, medical room and other facilities.

Every building here is professionally designed, and the architectural style of the entire training base is very unified, which is why it took a total of three years to complete the training base.

The construction of the training building is more modern and has clear edges. This kind of building technique using reinforced concrete is actually not difficult. After all, it only has three floors. The real difficulty of the entire training base lies in two indoor training grounds.

Theobord training base has four indoor football stadiums, one is a pitching machine training room and the other is a small indoor football stadium with three-a-side, five-a-side, and seven-a-side indoor football match venues. Because there are small venues inside, it is not difficult to build. As long as the large pillars that play a supporting role are arranged reasonably during design.

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

The indoor training ground of the first team is the standard football field size, but there must be some room for the surrounding area, so the entire building size is slightly larger than that of the standard football field, so there is a problem, because there are no pillars allowed in the field.

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

Tottenham Hotspur’s two indoor training grounds have completed the design stage and are preparing to build, one in the first team and the other in the youth team. Both are standard football field sizes, but the first team is dedicated and the youth team is used together.

The design of the two indoor training bases is made of steel frame structures, composed of eleven steel frames with arc-shaped ground spans of 80 meters. Because considering the span and the rain and snow weather that occurs almost every year in London, this requires very high steel, especially durability and strength. After all, this indoor training ground will take more than ten years or even decades.

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

The Eden Botanical Garden, known for turning waste into treasure and built on the ruins in Cornwall, England, uses this PTPP membrane as the ceiling. 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 existence of two indoor training grounds, coupled with other surrounding buildings and green turf, makes the entire aerial view and renderings of Tottenham Hotspur's Theobord training base look a bit like an incompletely symmetrical but very eye-catching circuit board.

This made many Zeus mobile phone fans immediately realize that it must be written by Jonathan Ivey. This British man has designed houses and buildings for himself and his friends many times. His designs always have a strong industrial and IT atmosphere. He also participated in the design of Theobord, but many professional details were still left to the architects to take charge of.

No one can deny that it has not even been fully completed, but it is already recognized by fans around the world as the best-designed football training base. However, for the moment, Tottenham Hotspur is only open to the fans of our team for the time being.

As long as you hold the official membership certificate of Tottenham Hotspur, hold the club's season ticket for the new season of any age, or are registered members of the fan organization recognized by the team, you can enter the Theobord training base for free.

So, on July 3, Theobord training base welcomed thousands of fans.

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

"Are there a little more people?"

Arriving at the Theobord training base, the players are still familiar with everything in this new training base.

They all felt strange, but at the same time they were full of surprises, because they found that everything here was a world of difference compared to the Siegwell training base in the past, even the turf was much softer than Siegwell.

"It's better if there are too many, it proves that we are popular." Ribery said with a smile while jumping to warm up on the spot.

Although there were many fans coming, they had been checked by the security guard at the gate and were put in after confirming safety. After entering, they stood outside the court in a very disciplined manner, silently watching the players on the court warm up and the staff placed training equipment.

Because seven players in the team participated in the Copa America, and unfortunately, although the group stage of the Copa America has ended, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Peru, where Tottenham Hotspur’s seven players are located, have all entered the knockout stage, so the return of these players will have to wait until at least late July.

There are joys and sorrows, and the performances of several Tottenham Hotspur internationals are also good and bad. In the Brazilian national team, whether it is Thiago Silva, Alves or Marcelo, they cannot play as the main players for the time being. They are just substitutes for the team. Although they have all appeared, they have not gained many opportunities.

On the contrary, in the Argentine national team, Mascherano and Messi are both the main players of the team and the pillars of the team. Both of them perform very well, and Uruguay's Cavani also cannot play as the main players.

On the contrary, in Peru, Vargas became Peru's best performer, especially in his debut in the Copa America, where Peru defeated Uruguay 0, and Vargas became the most eye-catching player in Peru's offense, which also made Vargas famous and had the attitude of becoming famous in one battle.

Because there are seven players playing in the Copa America, Ye Qiuyuqin directly transferred several players from the youth team to the first team to practice 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 from Brazil to London to train with the team.

Neymar will train with the team for a period of time and then return to Brazil. The team will also observe and evaluate Neymar during this period, obtain a more detailed set of data and include him as the team's key observation object to help him grow and improve in the future.

When Mascherano was not here, Beckham took on the responsibility of captaining the team. 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 train together for the next period of time.

Training! On the first day, it is mainly to make everyone familiar with the Theobord training base, so the first day will adopt open training, leaving all fans and media to watch. Tomorrow, the team will return to the three-day training day when preparing for the early season to make more fully prepared for the physical fitness of the new season. At that time, it will be closed and all visits are not allowed.

When it was 9:30, Ye Qiu and his coaching staff walked out of the training building on time, which immediately caused a burst of cheers at the scene. Ye Qiu and his coaching staff also smiled and greeted the fans and the media, but did not stay at all and entered the training ground directly.

"How was the holiday?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

The new players may be a little nervous, but the old players all seem relaxed.

"not bad"

"Just shorter"

"It would be more pleasant if you could have a girlfriend, what do you think, head?"

There are all kinds of answers, the atmosphere looks very relaxed, and laughter keeps coming. Some players even seem to treat the head coach as air and joke around, such as sarcasticating someone without a girlfriend, sarcasticating someone too greedy, etc.

This kind of scene surprised some new players. Could this be the atmosphere inside Tottenham Hotspur?

On weekdays, they always joke in front of the head coach in front of the training ground, and they always joke without restraint.

"Okay, okay, you guys should also consider the psychological feelings of our group of people who don't even have holidays, okay?" Ye Qiu smiled for a while and shouted to stop.

Everyone knows that the Tottenham Hotspur relocation training base this summer, the coaching staff and the training base staff did not have to take a holiday. Therefore, when Ye Qiu said this, everyone stopped. On the contrary, many people in the coaching staff smiled.

"Today is the team's training camp! On the first day, I believe everyone is still unfamiliar with the new training base. Our training tasks today are very easy, focusing on adjustments. After training, everyone can go around and take a look."

When they heard Ye Qiu say this, these monkey-like players laughed and looked a little excited. Some of them even wanted to try the team's advanced training facilities that had been disclosed by the media, such as hot and cold swimming pools, such as the anti-gravity treadmill that was said to be developed by NASA, etc.

"I don't care how your holidays have been like in the past period of time, but in short, in the next more than a month, you will all be like living in hell, I promise."

At this moment, Ye Qiu's smile was filled with the aura of devil in the eyes of the players, and everything brought about was amazing.

"In the end, 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, go ahead."

With Ye Qiu's words, many people present did not have much pressure, but many people also seemed worried.

"David, is there any problem?" Modric asked Beckham 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, so he smiled easily, "We do regular physical examinations every day, but they are very simple physical examinations, such as they just let you jump on a platform that measures weight, or run on a treadmill for a few minutes."

"But every season and every long-term departure from the team, such as national team competition, we have to undergo very detailed physical examinations after returning to the team, and even detailed physical examinations such as blood and heartbeat. In addition to observing whether the players are overweight and whether there are injuries, the most important thing is to obtain various physical indicators."

Modric was a little surprised to hear that he had never heard of these things in Dynamo Zagreb before. At that time, the teams were laissez-faire, and at most they just checked their weight. As long as you were not injured, they didn't care about you. Sometimes when they had injuries, they didn't treat them with special treatment.

"You will understand after staying for a long time. It's a bit more troublesome, but physical examinations are basically before training and warm-up, which can help you reduce injuries to the greatest extent. This has great benefits for any professional player," Beckham patted Modric's shoulder and said with a smile.

Fans and media outside the court did not know what Tottenham Hotspur were going up and down, so they chased after him, but they could only go to the door of the analysis center and were not allowed to enter, making the analysis center full of an element called mystery.

"Mr. Ye Qiu"

While the players were all running for a physical examination, Ye Qiu took the initiative to go to media reporters and fans.

"Welcome to Theoborde" Ye Qiu smiled and said hello to the people present.

Amid the shouts of the fans, the reporters took out the recorder.

“Can you answer a few of our questions?”

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

As soon as Ye Qiu said this, even the fans on the side became quiet.

So he visited this group of reporters through the barbed wire.

"Last season Tottenham Hotspur won the unprecedented third place in the Premier League. We all want to know what you expect from Tottenham Hotspur’s new season? Many people think that if the team sells its striker Van Nisstruy, its offensive ability will be weakened. What do you think?"

Ye Qiu was mentally prepared for these questions and had answers to deal with them.

"First of all, the first question is that I hope the team can achieve a breakthrough in the new season's results. Of course, I know that this will be difficult, because the competition in the Premier League in the new season will be unprecedentedly cruel. We all see that our opponents are constantly increasing, which will be a cruel test for us."

"The second question, Luther's departure made everyone feel regretful to me and Tottenham Hotspur, a great scorer and a player respected by all Tottenham Hotspur players and fans. We all hope that he can continue his glory in Spain, but I believe we will find a good way to fill the problems that Luther left."

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

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this and refused to comment, "Robin is a very excellent striker. He has strong abilities and his performance last season was also very outstanding. Not only him, but also Cavani and Carol are all forwards with great potential and strength. I believe that in the new season, they will 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. I believe everyone agrees with this point, because whether it is Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal, they have invested a lot in the signing stage this season, but only Tottenham Hotspur seems to have not made any move."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "I have to correct it. We introduced Luka Modric. This is an important signing for us to strengthen the team's midfield in the new season. And we introduced Aaron Ramsey from Cardiff. This is a young player with great potential, so I don't agree with it if we don't sign."

After hearing this, the reporters laughed one by one, so someone asked again: "What do you think of Tottenham Hotspur's signings in the new season? Many people think that at least you have not invested all of Fanny's transfer fees into the transfer market."

"I have to clarify a little first." Ye Qiu smiled and looked at everyone present, "I believe that not only journalists' friends, but also our Tottenham fans, have such doubts, but I must explain why I need to transfer?"

"The transfer has only one purpose, to fill the team's lineup vacancy and strengthen the team's strength."

Ye Qiu's words were recognized by everyone present.

"We worked well in the second half of last season. I don't think our overall framework is too big. And we were the team with the lowest average age in the Premier League last season, and this season will be the same. This means that the players in our team still have deep potential to explore."

"Yes, Luther's departure has had some impact, but we should all see that Van Persie performed very well last season, so I don't think we should transfer for the sake of transfer. On the contrary, I hope to give these young players more opportunities."

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Of course, I don't rule out that I will suddenly change my mind with the start of the training camp and the warm-up match, but I always believe that a team needs to form combat effectiveness, relying on the whole, or the powerful combat strength formed by everyone in the team itself, rather than by introducing stars."

“Good said”

“It’s so well said”

“We all support you, Mr. Chairman”

"Tottenham Hotspur is always the best"

After listening to the Tottenham fans at the scene, they all seemed very excited and cheered loudly there. They were obviously very satisfied with Ye Qiu's answer, because during the entire interview, Ye Qiu seemed very calm and confident.

Often, his attitude can infect people around him and bring them confidence.
