Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 54 You must stay here!

The Melwood training base is located between Liverpool and Derby. It was built in the 1950s and renovated six years ago. It is the training base for the first team of the Premier League giant Liverpool. However, this training base is far away from the center of Liverpool. This was depressing for Li Qing, who was going to Melwood for the first time.

Compared to the Kirkby Youth Academy, Melwood is located in a more remote area. In the L12 area outside Liverpool, Li Qing could ride a bicycle to the Kirkby Youth Academy in the past, but this time he had to choose more advanced transportation.

Since Li Qing is not yet 17 years old, he is not old enough to obtain a driver's license. He cannot drive a car or a motorcycle, so he can only take the bus.

Fortunately, there is bus No. 12 near his home. It takes twelve stops, which takes about forty minutes, and then gets off at Melwood Avenue.

Although it was only 8:30 in the morning, Li Qing, who got off the bus at Melwood Avenue, could see more than a dozen fans walking around in front of private houses opposite the training base.

Obviously, these fans were waiting for the Liverpool players to drive to work to see if they could get autographs or take photos.

There are also some well-equipped reporters holding professional SLRs, ready to take footage of the stars arriving at Melwood.

Li Qing was not attractive at all except for his handsome face among the small crowd, because these people came to Melwood just for the stars.

Li Qing noticed that the reporter was not paying attention to him, rolled his eyes, and thought to himself: "Uncle, I am the best player in the FA Youth Cup! Huh! You are an unscrupulous reporter with no vision!"

There is a special young man in the crowd. He is special because he is different. He has yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair. His skin color is obviously different from that of all white Europeans. He is about twenty-five years old. He is holding a Wearing a professional-grade Canon SLR, the lens kept changing, as if looking for a suitable shooting angle.

Until a young man appeared in the center of the camera. The young man was about 1.76 meters tall and looked relatively strong. He was carrying a large Nike satchel and had a handsome face and a confident smile that most easily attracted others' attention.

What attracted young people's attention was that they had the same skin color and hair color. Maybe it was because they stayed abroad for a long time. When I saw people with yellow skin, black eyes and black hair, I always thought they were compatriots, and I felt like talking to them. impulse.

Watching the boy walking towards Melwood, he thought he was here for the first time and didn't know that fans were not allowed inside, so he ran quickly and blurted out in his native language: "Hey, wait a minute."

Li Qing, who was walking towards the gate of the Melwood training base, heard a familiar Chinese voice behind him. Out of conditioned reflex, he turned around and saw a young man running quickly with a professional SLR in his arms.

The young man's mood became high and he said excitedly: "You...are you a human?"

"Essentially yes, actually no."

"???"

Three question marks instantly appeared above the young man's head.

Li Qing didn't like to talk to strange men, even compatriots, so he said in a very calm tone: "I am a Chinese from Great Britain."

"You speak Chinese very well."

The young man was like a chatterbox. He held the work badge hanging on his chest in his right hand and introduced himself: "I am Lu Lu, the Premier League reporter for Qiu Di. Nice to meet you." Out of politeness, Li Qing replied lightly. : "My name is Li Qing."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he pointed to the door of Melwood and said, "I'm going in. Goodbye."

Lu Lu reminded: "By the way, the Melwood training base is not open to the public today. If you want an autograph, you can only wait here."

As he said that, he lowered his head and looked at his watch: "There is still about an hour until training. Players usually arrive here around nine-thirty."

Li Qing originally didn't want to talk to Lu Lu, the reporter from Qiu Di, but he heard the kindness in the other person's words and he was a compatriot, so he shrugged his shoulders: "Don't worry, I can go in."

"impossible?"

"We'll see."

Li Qing took out an ID card from his bag and flashed it in front of the uncle at the door. The latter looked at it and opened the door directly to let him in.

Lu Lu's pupils shrank, he couldn't believe it... he just went in?
Could it be... that he is the child of an internal employee?
However, this possibility was quickly ruled out, because any football club has clear regulations that non-staff members are not allowed to enter, and even the top management does not have the authority to allow family members to enter the training base.

Could it be the child of a shareholder?
It wasn't until the wooden door was tightly closed that Lu Lu suddenly slapped his forehead and murmured: "If I had known I had asked him for his number, wouldn't it be possible to get first-hand information on Liverpool's first team training?"

After entering the Melwood training base, Li Qing was quickly attracted by the building in front of him. A landmark wooden sign displayed seven letters in the center - Melwood.

It tells the world where this is!

Melwood!

Occupying a large area, there are two words at the lower edge of Melwood, tiaining and facility, which together can be translated as Melwood training base.

At the far end is a modern two-storey building with the Liverpool team logo on the red wall on the right, and further to the right is the parking lot used by first-team players, coaches and staff.

According to his memory, he walked along the passage on the left side of the bungalow. If the 'predecessor' memory was correct, that was the training ground leading to the first team.

The players and coaches have not yet arrived at Melwood, but the staff are working intensively to provide logistical support for the next first-team training.

Li Qing couldn't help but clenched his fists and encouraged himself: "We must stay here!"
