英伦广角 2012-10-13 英格兰队训练基地揭牌 威廉王子夫妇出席

   England have never had a training session graced by such high-profile Royal visitors before but then they’ve never had facilities quite like this. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge chatted a way to the players even getting a smile from Ashley Cole who was forced to apologize to the FA Chairman for sending an abuse of tweets. St George’s Park boosts 12 pitches and has cost 105 million pounds.

        For this, it is a truly historic day for English football after decades of wandering from hotels to various club training grounds. England now have their own home and pulling down roots here. And they’ve got Royals to see the approval.

        Inside William and Kate put the state of the arid¹ equipment to the test competing against each other on a machine that improves proliferated² vision for the League’s sports people. William narrowly winning this particular battle. 

        So, OK, OK.

        This quick spirits.

        Yes, sir.

        The Duke then showed his sense of humor, he clean increasing the gradient on the running machine before testing the temperature as the England players made the most of the June cozy³. It’s clear he was impressed by what he saw. 

        Coming here this morning and seeing these wonderful facilities and beautiful surroundings and experiencing this extraordinary place - gave me the same feelings I had when I first went to the Olympic Park. A mixture of pride that we are capable in this country of creating something so beyond compare anywhere else.

        The focus here is less by the long ball and more about the long term. But critics were last pointing England are rounding now doing what France and Spain have been doing for decades. 

        This is a long-term investment over investing into the teachers of the game. We’ve been overtaken in some respects by the continent neighbors and so we need to invest in not only the quality of our coaches but also the number of our coaches. And we will train either here directly or indirectly⁴ as a result of the influences of here. A court of a million more coaches in England by 2012.

        England now have a world-class training base but will breed world champions.
