In the early morning, just as the sky was bright, an old Ford Mondeo was driving quickly on the 5th Ring Road.

The radio in the car was playing this morning's weather forecast, showing that the next few days will be the best weather in London since winter begins. The ice and snow melt and the weather will warm up. The maximum temperature is expected to reach octave, and it will be difficult to see snowfall again in the next few days.

Although it is clear that the weather forecast is unreliable, Paul Brington smiled when he heard this news. His already pretty good mood improved as well. He raised it to the roof of the car, opened the skylight, and took the opportunity to look up at the blue sky. There were only a few thin cloud strips hanging lightly.

"I hope it won't rain," Paul Brington muttered to himself in hope.

Highway 5 drilled into a tunnel, and when it came out again, a branch road appeared on the left side of the road. The sign of the AI0 fork shows a left turn signal. Paul Brington immediately turned over the left turn signal and slowly drove into the AI0 branch road, and arrived at the four-fork intersection between Enfield and Chesent.

Go north around the circular road at the four-fork intersection, and soon we arrived at a circular intersection, with obvious signs at the intersection.

Tottenham Hotspur Theobord training base, turn left

St. Mary's Public School District, turn left

Both road signs clearly indicate pedestrians. Paul Brington passes here every day, so he just casually glances at the road sign, then turns to the left, and directly enter this road named Lieutenant Ellis, which is a road named after Lieutenant Ellis.

After driving forward for dozens of meters, there is a small circular intersection. Turn the left is the Theobord training base. A very conspicuous Tottenham Hotspur team badge is set up. A cockfighting with a vivid foot ball is on the way, and turn the right is St. Mary's Public School. The gates of both sides are hidden in dense woods, leaving only a small path to the circular intersection.

In fact, the entire Lieutenant Ellis Road is surrounded by dense woods, making it impossible to see everything in the two famous places on both sides, and there is almost no gap, and it is very hidden.

Paul Brington turned left, walked through the woods, and came to Tottenham Hotspur's Theobord training base.

If the dense forest is just a disguise, then you will suddenly feel enlightened when you walk through the woods, because at the gate of Tottenham Hotspur is a very open park full of all kinds of flowers, plants and trees. Even if it is covered with snow in winter, it still adds a bit of alternative scenery, especially those treetops covered with snow.

Seeing Paul Brington's car, the door slowly opened, and the latter drove to the parking lot behind the security building, where there was a parking space exclusive to him because he was the security captain of Tottenham Hotspur Theobord training base.

It's about to enter 10 years. In short, Paul Brington has been working at Tottenham for six or seven years. He is not very old, forty-five years old. He has been a policeman for more than ten years and was injured later. If you pay attention to it, it is not difficult to find that his left leg is a little lame, but it is difficult to find that it is not careful.

As early as when Tottenham Hotspur's training base was still in Ziegwell, Paul Brington was already the security captain. Later, he moved to Theoborde, and everything was emphasized to be regularized. Paul Brington once thought that he would be fired, but it turned out that he not only continued to be his security captain, but was also sent to public training by the team

The team paid for the money and arranged for five young security guards who were on duty at the Siegwell Training Base to receive regular security training丨 and then continued to return to the Theobord training base to serve, but the training base was large and the security team was also expanding. Now Paul Brington has more than 30 people under him, taking turns to protect the Theobord training base for 24 hours.

Not only that, during the game between the team and the youth team, the security team also arranged personnel to accompany them. After all, it was easier to use by themselves, and these security guards were formally trained, especially the London Police Department has cut budgets in recent years, laying off many employees, and the salary and benefits are not very good, so Paul Brington dug up a lot of former London police officers to Tottenham Hotspur as security guards through relationships.

When Paul Brington arrived in Theoborde, the dedicated parking lot was already full of vehicles of all sizes. When he walked towards the security building, all the members of the security team were in place, including the employees who were originally on the offside.

"Dear" Paul Brington walked up to everyone, except those who were on duty outside the door, all of them were here.

"Today is the first day of Genius Day and a major challenge we have accepted in recent years. I hope everyone can stay alert and make sure that there are no accidents during Genius Day activities. Do you understand?"

"Understand" everyone answered in unison, it was obvious that Paul Brington was highly prestigious among the group on weekdays, and Tottenham Hotspur's security treatment was generous, at least much better than the London Police Department, which cut budgets every year.

"I'll tell you some of the things you should pay attention to today." Paul Brington took out a notebook from his pocket. This was some important things that Ron Gurley explained when he went to White Hart Lane Stadium yesterday. He must convey them to all assistants as soon as possible to ensure that there is no problem.

"After a later date, a hundred volunteers organized by the fans will come to the training base. Everyone is familiar with it. What do you do normally and what to do today? At that time, I will need four people to be divided into two groups and take volunteers to organize the parking of vehicles at the gate to ensure that this passage is not congested." Paul Brington pointed at the gate of Theobord, and there was a piece of grass next to the park outside to park.

In every game at White Hart Lane Stadium, every game of Theobord Youth Team, Tottenham Hotspur will organize and receive some volunteers to help, so the next three days of Genius Day will continue to do so.

"The first team area is not open to the public, so pay attention to the posts at the intersection. In addition, our youth team's training building, research center, practice room and indoor venues are not open to the public. At that time, there must be someone at the door of these places. All young players participating in the Genius Day activities are not allowed to accompany them after entering the training building."

Paul Brington introduced a lot of rules, and the members of the security team below recorded them carefully in their notebooks. All of them knew very well that although Tottenham Hotspur’s genius day activities were to be open to the public, they were only moderately open and it was impossible for everyone to break through the training base.

You know, there will be many people coming to the scene today, and there may even be some scouts from other teams. If they are allowed to rush around in the training base, no one knows what will happen.

"Finally, wait for everyone to go to their own positions, and at the same time, make sure that the street signs and facilities are intact in the area they are responsible for. If there is any problem, please immediately notify the person from the choreography department to deal with it. Do you understand?"

"Understand" everyone answered again.

As Paul Brington waved his hand, everyone suddenly scattered.

Time is running out, and the selection of Genius Day starts at 9:00 in the morning. Now there are only less than two hours left. They must make their final preparations as soon as possible, because in the next three days, they will welcome a lot of players, fans and media reporters.

Paul Brington was once a well-known police officer in the London Police Department. The reason why he was able to become the security captain was not only because of his resume, but also because of his cautious style of doing things.

After the meeting, he was still worried. He walked almost every road from the park and parking lot outside the gate to the youth training area of ​​Theobord by himself, confirming every step that needs to be confirmed, and ensuring that everything is foolproof.

"Hello, Mr. Brington"

When Paul Brington walked to the fork outside Central Lake Park, he saw several people stopping in front of the big map.

"Hello, Mrs. Ye" Paul Brington immediately walked to Huang Chu and greeted him politely and politely.

Huang Chu rarely appears at Theobord training base, but everyone knows her because she is the kind of woman who is so beautiful that you can't forget at a glance. More importantly, she is also a doctor with very exquisite medical skills and is well-known in Wellington Hospital and London.

Standing next to Huang Chu were three men, two old men and one middle-aged man. Paul Brington also knew these three people. A few days ago, Ye Qiu specifically introduced to him that two of them were the team's nominal consultants, while the middle-aged man was the team's newly hired youth training camp manager, Jan Ald Ricklink, former Ajax youth training supervisor.

The one who can let Ye Qiu's wife accompany him is not ordinary people. They are all good friends and mentors of Ye Qiu and his wife in their late childhood. They are formerly famous assistant coach of Ajax, Bobby Hams. He is now a technical consultant for Tottenham Hotspur, and the other is Pim Van Dude, who is a consultant to the R&D center.

Paul Brington has never heard of these three people, but Ron Gurley once told him that Ricklink is Ajax's most savvy youth training coach, known as Hawkeye. He almost never mistook young players, and he is very good at organizing and maintaining youth training. Bobby Hamms is an expert in youth training, and Ajax stars such as Cruyff, Van Basten, Rijkald, Debor, Cruitwitt, Van der Fate appeared in his hands.

As for Pim Van Dude, I heard that I have a lot of experience in sports medicine and have worked with Peter Brandt.

Bobby Hams and Pim Van Dude have both retired, but this time Ye Qiu forced Tottenham to attract Tottenham, which has given enough face to Ye Qiu, his good friend. However, they will not stay in London for a long time, but will just come and take a trip when the team needs it. That's all, because relatively speaking, they don't like life in London.

As for Rick Link, he will become the team's youth training supervisor, so he will naturally stay in London for a long time.

The large map clearly lists the distribution of the Theoborde youth training area, including each site and every building, which appear on it very clearly, and clearly marked, which also makes people feel the perfection and advancedness of Theoborde, especially those youth training venues. Each site is equipped with surveillance and video. This is done to facilitate the research center to collect data and data, and combine the various sensors carried by the players to conduct in-depth analysis of each player.

When Huang Chu and his group walked into the youth team, passed the training building, came to the training ground, and found that each training ground was clean, which made Bobby Hams, Pim Van Dude and others amazed.

You should know that it has snowed in London in the past few days, and the weather is relatively bad, but from the venue, there is no trace of rain or snow. It can be seen that each venue has excellent geothermal and drainage systems. And you should know that Tottenham Hotspur's youth echelon follows the Ajax system, which is six age groups, with a total of two groups in each age group, including from seven to eighteen years old, and each group has a special turf.

If all the twelve pieces of turf are installed with geothermal, drainage and other systems, the cost is also an amazing number.

Many people were surprised at the cost of the Theobord training base in Tottenham Hotspur. Many people even think it is too exaggerated, but that is because they don’t understand the inside story. On the surface, the Theobord training base is no different, just like the training ground of this kind of youth team is different from the training ground of other teams?

If it is normal, you really can't see any difference, because you can't see geothermal heat and drainage, even cameras and sensors hidden in every corner of the training ground, but after snow and rain, you can clearly understand their differences.

Only experts can clearly know that Ye Qiu's heavy investment in building Theobord was not a waste of money, but a straightforward step to create the most complete and advanced training base in the world. Such money can achieve such an effect and be of great value.

Not to mention anything else, just invest this money at Chelsea and Manchester City. Do you have the ability to build a new Theobord training base? Stop dreaming, even if you spend double the money, you can't do it.

"It's really a big deal." Bobby Hams was also full of surprise.

It is obvious that not only the conditions of Quasio Boulder's youth training, but also Ye Qiu's investment and ambition. At least in this regard, Ajax cannot catch up with it because they lack such ambition and such a foundation.

Didn’t there be a saying? How bold the heart is, how rich the land is

"He still acts the same way, and he is a little overly pursuing perfection. He is still struggling and not long ago. He specially developed an analysis system and invested a lot of money." Huang Chu was a little complaining about his husband.

It’s not that you feel sorry for money, but when others praise your husband, you have to be more humble and talk about some shortcomings in a tactful way.

At least, Huang Chu is not the kind of woman who will praise her husband with others.

"I know, that system is very popular now. Ajax planned to ask him for one before, but the cost would be more expensive." Bobby Hams knew Huang Chu's little thoughts. The two old men had helped match up with each other, so they didn't know what Huang Chu thought.

"Look back and let him give him one," Pim Van Dud said with a laugh.

Paul Brington followed by, and he found that he couldn't even speak because no matter what he said, it was not appropriate. After all, this group of people were Ye Qiu's closest family and friends.

"I heard that he was planning to build a youth training recreation center in Theoborde?" Bobby Hams asked.

Paul Brington finally had the opportunity to talk to him, "Yes, Mr. Hams will be arranged next to Central Lake Park and will be open to children under the age of seven, but it requires parents' companionship and no fees will be charged, just to cultivate children's interest in football and Tottenham Hotspur."

"This idea is good, based on the long-term, and can subtly let your children receive Tottenham Hotspur's youth training and culture." Pim Van Dude directly said Ye Qiu's idea.

Building a team, especially a team with culture and heritage, does not just say how much money you invest, how many superstars you buy, and how much championship you get. Wrong, if you have these, it may not necessarily mean that you have culture and heritage, because you lack a core culture, a core culture that can infect people.

Just like when everyone mentions Manchester United, they will immediately think of the Red Devils spirit. Why?

Also, many low-level teams often have a lot of loyalty among the fan group. No matter how bad their performance or how bad their performance is, they just have so many loyalty. Why?

It can be said that building a club culture is a very long, long and complicated process. It requires you to start from all aspects and fields, from the first team, from the middle to the youth team, from the children, and even from all aspects of society. You need to establish your own image and unique culture.

Only in this way, when others think of you, they will naturally think of your culture and agree with it.

After Paul Brington accompanied his group to visit the Youth Training Area, the club staff and volunteers arrived in Theoborde one after another, and the busy genius day selection activities finally kicked off.

At 8:30, more and more fans began to appear outside, and the team arranged to pick up and drop off players and parents of the players who participated in the Genius Day event and arrived in Theoborde.

The entire training base began a busy day, especially when more and more fans flocked to Theoborde, who wanted to see with their own eyes the so-called genius day selection and witness what kind of genius young players Tottenham Hotspur will select, the crowd inevitably sneaked into the scouts from other teams.

Like the scouts who mingled in the Ajax fan group and pretended to visit DeTok Most, they all hope to use Tottenham Hotspur's influence and relationships to find opportunities to select and poach the young players they like.

Tottenham Hotspur has no way to stop such a thing, so there is a rule for the team's genius day event, that is, all ratings will not be announced to the public, and even players and parents do not know it.

Only Tottenham Hotspur insiders know about the analysis report of players participating in the Genius Day selection.
