Chapter 1708 Establishment of London Base
When the Arsenal team resumed training, the players obviously hadn't recovered from the joy of victory, and they were a little slack in the first two days of training.

But the professor didn't say anything, because they were destined to use the second team in the next new game.

That's right, their second game of the week is the second round of the official league quarter-finals against the Brads. In the first round they have already laid the foundation for victory with a huge point difference.

Therefore, on the day before the start of the game, the professor's lineup included almost all the young people and substitute players who are currently in the first team of the team.

At home, these small players and substitute players performed fairly well.

Although taking the lead in the first half of the game, the opponent took a set kick and scored a goal to equalize the score, but in less than 5 minutes of the second half, they directly took the lead again with a rush attack.

This made the gun fans in the stands climax. They didn't expect that even the players of their second team were so good at attacking as soon as the ball was kicked off.

The fans sang and danced in the stands. Because it was the League Cup and it was still in the middle of the week, there were not many fans present in this game, but the momentum was enough.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Arsenal officially eliminated their opponents from the second round with a score of 6-1 in two rounds.

The Bullard team was quite satisfied after scoring a goal. They were roaring and grinning and ran to the Gunners' bench for this game, where many Arsenal stars were sitting.

Liu Feng, who didn't even have a minute of playing time, became the player most requested by Brad's players to exchange jerseys. Faced with eager eyes, he finally gave the jersey to a Brad substitute who asked for his idol's jersey for his son.

Faced with the family relationship between father and son, Liu Feng will never be able to resist.

After this game, Arsenal ushered in a long period of leisure time. In the second week of the game, they only have one league game to play.

The players also began to develop their own other careers after training. With the increasing popularity of the Arsenal team, except for Liu Feng, who is undoubtedly No. 1 in commercial value, the value of other players is also rising.

Everyone went to receive various endorsements, and some sponsors even started to sponsor Arsenal in the name of a certain player. Liu Feng alone attracted seven sponsors including Sinopec, UAE, Armani, etc.

The bonuses and sponsorship terms they set are extremely loose, and the only requirement is that they can appear in front of the camera with Liu Feng when necessary.

This can almost be said to be an operation of sending money.

In addition, Liu Feng also took advantage of this free period to officially participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Liu Feng Football School's training base in London.

As he played football in the UK for longer and longer, he found that he didn't always have to think about training players in China and then participating in trial training with major clubs after success.

This method is often not effective because of the domestic football environment, training facilities and atmosphere.

Now set up a training base directly in London, select some good domestic seedlings who are willing to go abroad, and come directly to the UK to train with the British children from the very beginning, which will definitely allow them to cultivate what they should have from an early age.

This idea is very good, but it is destined to be only elite training. There are only [-] players in the first batch of Liu Feng football school London training base. Even so, Liu Feng has invested more than one million euros to ensure the operation of the training base.

And he also paid the price of being the spokesperson of a youth competition in England to win the opportunity of the Liu Feng football school team to participate in this youth league.

In this way, these players not only train every day, they can play against some youth training teams from all over the UK every half a month. If they win these tournaments, they may also have the opportunity to play against the youth training teams of England's second-tier league.

At that time, once the outstanding performance impresses the opponent's youth training coach, these players will have the opportunity to enter the British professional league.

Don't underestimate the British Championship. According to various statistics, the intensity of the competition in the British Championship is still far greater than that of the Chinese Super League. The three relegated Premier League teams each year bring the experience and tactics of the top league.

This operation ensures that in the absence of super talents, the players who come to the London base can find their own destinations in the end. Even if they finally take root in the second division, they can learn more.

Step by step, there will always be more and more players appearing in better leagues. After all, food needs to be eaten bite by bite.

After the London base was set up, Liu Feng returned to his daily training.

In the fifth round of League No.20, Arsenal will face Stoke City at home. This is not a difficult game, especially when the Gunners are in good condition.

The day before the start of the game, the professor simply announced the team's starting lineup.

Neymar, Liu Feng and Aguero became the team's starting striker combination, and Wilshere, Ganso and Ramsey's midfield combination reappeared.

On the back line, Gibbs, Mertesacker, Vermaelen and Alves form the back line of defense, and the goalkeeper is still Szczesny.

This is undoubtedly the Gunners' usual formation when they face games that they want to win as soon as possible. 433 has a great impact whether it is a three striker or a three midfielder.

The defense is even more desperate for opponents. In the entire Premier League, no team's offensive combination can guarantee that it can penetrate this defense.

As an opponent of the Gunners, Stoke City has no advantage in offense. They are good at playing with three central defenders, and they work more in the midfield.

Therefore, the next day, when the starting lineups of the two sides were announced, Stoke City's 352 formation attracted the attention of many parties.

In today's situation where four backs are rampant, and more and more coaches are beginning to give up the defensive three-back system, it is rare for someone to dare to put up three backs in front of the Arsenal team with top offensive efficiency.

For the first time, the Stoke City boss and his proteges have sparked heated debate.

At the Emirates Stadium, from the time when the two sides entered the field to warm up to finally stood on the field and waited for the start of the game, the cheers of the Gunners fans did not stop until the whistle blew, and the cheers did not stop slightly.

"Shhhhhh!"

"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game officially started. The Arsenal team took the lead in this game. Liu Feng, standing in front of the kick-off point, took the ball."
