The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 626 New Model of Football Success

17!

This is the headline that appeared on the front page of The Guardian on the morning of December [-]th. The red Arabic numerals are very conspicuous.

Below the headline on the front page is a picture of the players celebrating after Tottenham Hotspur scored a goal during the game. If you don’t watch the live broadcast of the game, you will definitely think it’s after the game. Celebrating, actually in the game, when Cavani scored the second goal for Tottenham Hotspur.

The first goal of the game came from david silva who, in the absence of cesc fabregas, played well in the midfield regardless of his partner Whether it's Ramsey, Eriksson, or Pogba, the Spaniard's stable performance reassures Tottenham's midfielder.

Moreover, his recent performance is also very eye-catching. Messi's performance in this game was very average. He did not have any impressive performances, nor did he score or assist. The Golden Globe awards ceremony is approaching, and it is inevitable that I will be a little nervous.

The team's third goal came from Neymar who came off the bench, and the team's two biggest superstars, Messi and Ribery, did not get any statistics, which is also a pity in this victory things.

And Tottenham Hotspur also conceded a goal in this game. It happened after a three-goal lead. The teenager Nastasic made a mistake, causing the team to concede a goal, and finally defeated the newly promoted Black 3:1. Pu won [-] consecutive victories, creating a new record for winning streak in the four major European leagues.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur has an unbeaten record of 52 games, 34 wins and 35 draw, leading the Premier League standings with 32 points, followed by Manchester United with [-] points and Liverpool with [-] points. The fourth place is Manchester City with [-] points, followed by Arsenal, West Ham United, Chelsea and Newcastle.

Judging from the current ranking in the standings, Chelsea's situation is indeed quite bad. If they want to regain the feeling of a strong team, signings during the winter break will become a necessary condition. It is reported that Abramovich Rahimovic has asked Pini Zahavi to make arrangements to do whatever it takes to bring in the players the team desperately needs during the winter break.

In Abramovich's view, if Chelsea finally loses the top four in the league and loses the qualification to participate in the Champions League, then for Chelsea, the loss will be huge, because losing the Champions League is not only a huge Champions League income, but also represents Chelsea's history of participating in the Champions League for several consecutive seasons will be completely interrupted.

But Chelsea want to spend a lot of money in signings, and so do potential competitors. In addition to Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool have also expressed their intention to strengthen the team's lineup during the winter break, introduce players, and strive to enable the team to participate in the next round of competition. The season's Champions League games, especially Liverpool, are in great shape right now.

It is reported that Chelsea's Pini Zahavi has pinned his hope of strengthening the team's forward scoring ability on Liverpool's Spanish striker Torres, but Liverpool has refuted this, believing that the team is currently in good condition , There is no shortage of money at all.

In fact, if you study the links carefully, it is not difficult to find that it is not strange for Chelsea to take a fancy to Torres.

First of all, because what Chelsea need now is the kind of attacker who can improve the team's strength when he comes, so this player must be the kind of star who has proven his strength. There are not many players who have proven themselves, plus the ability to be in charge at Chelsea.

Full play and full calculation, Manchester United's trident, but the possibility of recalling Rooney is zero, Tevez is unlikely, Benzema has only played well for half a season, and he has not yet met the requirements, while Tottenham Tottenham's Cavani is in line with Chelsea's requirements. The key question is, how high can Chelsea pay?
You know, Tottenham Hotspur sold Falcao, which was a sky-high price. Now Tottenham Hotspur only has one center forward. It is conceivable how difficult it is to convince Ye Qiu to sell him. , and according to Ye Qiu's consistent black shop policy, even if he sells it, he must pay a sky-high price to convince him.

Chelsea want to introduce both forwards and defenders, and the price cannot be too high.

Falcao is also an ideal choice, and it is reported that Abramovich has a good relationship with Rebonovlev, but the problem is that the Colombian center is now the mainstay of the Hammers, and it is only one to join the team In the season, if Rybonolev betrayed someone, wouldn't that be self-defeating?

So in the end, after all the calculations, there was only one most suitable candidate left, Torres, the only one!
Liverpool is rich and powerful now, but according to Pini Zahavi's consistent transfer strategy, as long as he can convince the players, he will not dare to do anything, so who can say that this transfer cannot be successful?
West Ham United also wants to introduce suitable players during the winter break to strengthen their own strength, so before Christmas is over, West Ham United announced early that they have introduced England's native rookie Andy Carroll from Manchester City , the former Tottenham Hotspur center has not been reused in Manchester City, and Ranieri hopes to introduce him to act as the team's tactical surprise.

At present, the entire frontcourt of West Ham United is actually full of talents. There are famous European stars such as Falcao, Eto'o and Giuly, as well as Argentine rookie Di Maria. The most important thing is to strengthen the team's bench thickness, and Carroll's current worth is not high, only 500 million euros.

Of course, this is really not high for the big local tycoon Rybonovlev.

When other Premier League teams are announcing that they will sign in during the winter break, only Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal have remained silent. It's a habit of signing in during the rest period, and now Ye Qiu and the club are paying more attention to the selection of talent day players and the upcoming Christmas carnival.

Compared to Arsenal’s lack of signings due to financial problems, Manchester United’s current problem is mainly in the right back position. After Maicon was snatched by Manchester City, Ferguson tried to introduce Kyle Walker, but was rejected by Ye Qiu , So he began to strengthen and cultivate the young player Raphael at the right back position, and now he is determined not to buy anyone.

This is also related to the lack of excellent right backs in European football. The current outstanding right backs basically have no reassuring players except Alves, Maicon, Lahm, and Ramos. Appeared, and players like Glenn Johnson, Zabaleta, Sarnia and other clubs are basically not for sale.

In this case, Ferguson chose to cultivate himself.

Buying and cultivating have become two different powerful strategies implemented by the Premier League teams before the winter break.

Coincidentally, Ye Qiu also appeared in the first class of Tottenham Hotspur's new youth coaching training class. The theme of his class is, the new model of football success!
…………

…………

"Once, many, many years ago, before the emergence of the Bosman Act, the mobility of players in European football and even world football was relatively poor. At that time, all teams were basically based on their own players, such as Milan. Dynasties, such as Real Madrid's Five Eagles, Barcelona's Dream Team, and Ajax, etc., are all like this!"

"Because of the poor mobility of players, when a team needs to be supplemented or strengthened in a certain position, it is generally difficult for them to find their own suitable stars outside who can be dug, so they are the best One option is to look back at your own youth training camp, and then pick a suitable one and cultivate it."

Following Ye Qiu's remarks, the youth training lineups of many wealthy teams before the Bosman Act appeared on the big screen behind him. All future youth training coaches who came to the scene can easily find a Plenty of former superstars who may or may not be their idols.

"Now we are looking back and looking forward to those superstars in the past. It is easy for us to have a wrong way of thinking, thinking that they were so powerful when they debuted, or we always imagine them as very powerful and perfect in our minds. In fact, It's not like that at all, they have flaws like today's players, they also have mistakes and poor performances."

"So..." Ye Qiu smiled when he said this, "...Some people say that the strongest player in history is in everyone's mind, and I think this is absolutely true!"

This remark made all the students present burst into laughter, and you must know that Ye Qiu personally taught the class, which not only attracted the youth training trainees of this period, but also attracted most of Theobald. Many coaches, even the coaches of the first team, came to observe, and some of them didn't even have a place to sit, so they just stood.

But everyone in this group of people is taking notes very seriously. It is obvious that Ye Qiu's casual words are like a bible to them, and they regard them as the direction and direction for their future breakthrough and self-improvement. opportunity.

"But this situation has gradually changed with the birth of the Bosman Act. After that, the mobility of players has been greatly improved, especially in the EU. Of course, there was no EU at that time, but it was already There are similar organizations."

"This increase in player mobility has made many teams, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Inter Milan, etc., some rich and powerful teams, who have money, feel that it is not worthwhile to train players, so they might as well pay directly. Money to introduce suitable players, so many players in the world you can choose, you can choose whatever you want, so they gave up the old business model and switched to a purchase-based business model."

"So during that period of time, youth training was almost forgotten. We noticed that since the mid-to-late 90s, except for a few such as Ballack and Klose, Germany has not had outstanding stars. Real Madrid After Raúl, Guti and Iker Casillas, are there any youth products?"

"Similarly, if you look at Manchester United, AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus, we can easily find that the rich teams at this time mainly focus on buying and poaching corners, which directly leads to player transfers. Membership fees are getting higher and higher, and players' salary requirements are also rising."

"In this process, I have to mention a team, Barcelona, ​​which is a very special giant, because they always attach importance to youth training, which also has a certain relationship with my good friend Cruyff , and Barcelona was at the lowest point in history at that time, so they had no money and could only pay attention to their own training!"

Ye Qiu's words made everyone laugh again, but he himself was very serious, "I don't mean to belittle Barcelona, ​​but what I want to say is that there are indeed quite a few teams. The reason why they pursue youth training is Because there is no money, such as another good friend of mine, my neighbor Arsene Wenger and his Arsenal!"

There was another roar of laughter, louder than before, and Ye Qiu couldn't help smiling, wondering if Wenger would scold him to death after hearing it?

"But what I want to say is that this situation is changing silently and unnoticed by most people, because we must clearly realize that people's hearts will never be satisfied. When a player When the transfer fee is getting higher and higher, and the player's own salary requirements are also rising steadily, the club's tolerance will definitely reach a peak, and he cannot rise endlessly, even if it is Manchester City. The team can't stand it!"

"So, as we Chinese say, it's called extremes. That is to say, when you can't afford high salary and high transfer fee, what will you do?"

Many youth training coaches and students present nodded, and some even shouted, "Train yourself!"

"Yes, train yourself!" Ye Qiu nodded with a smile, "It's like another good friend of mine, Ferguson, he can't buy a right back, so he can only train himself, let us bless him!"

There was another burst of laughter, and Ye Qiu walked around the meeting room before returning to the front of the big screen.

"That's the history of football clubs over the last two decades, and we'll find that, round and round, we're back to the same old ways, but please don't get me wrong, guys, I'm not saying football is going backwards, I'm saying In fact, football, whether it is club management or tactical innovation, is actually on a spiral path, do you understand what I mean?"

Ye Qiu's question was answered by most of the people present, and they all explained clearly.

"I've told you so much. I don't want to tell you the history of football clubs, nor do I want to tell you any messy truths. I want to tell you that in the next ten years or so, youth training will be the focus of all clubs. The core competitiveness, because the transfer fee, especially the transfer fee of top players, will be so high that you dare not look up."

"To put it in a relatively simple sentence, what is the most expensive in the 21st century?"

"Talent!" Everyone in the conference room shouted with laughter.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Yes, talent, players are talents, coaches are talents, youth training coaches are even more talents, and scouts are also talents. Let me tell you, everyone, everyone who works in a club, everyone People are talents, and only clubs that value talents can hope to succeed!"

Ye Qiu's words immediately received thunderous applause, because he almost raised the role of this group of people to the level of top stars, and it even sounded like it was even higher.

Anyone who is familiar with Ye Qiu knows that the most important thing for his Leaf Technology is talents. The internal reform that Ye Qiu promoted not long ago, the slogan is to maximize the value of talents. Now, he wants to pass this idea to the Tottenham Hotspur, passed on to everyone who works at this club, even if he is just a sweeping lady.

"As I said just now, youth training is the future trend, the mainstream, and the wave. So in youth training, what is the most important and precious? Star embryos? Wrong, it is to excavate and guide these young players to improve You, you will be the most important and scarcest talents in the football field in the future!"

Ye Qiu's words immediately received thunderous applause again, and even many people directly responded to him with cheers.

"We Chinese have a saying, I am born to be useful, which means that every person created by God has his role, but what I want to say is that the most important thing in everyone's life is, It’s about figuring out your role and doing your part for the world.”

"I tell you this sentence today, I want to tell you, everyone, my future colleagues, you have the opportunity to become a top superstar in the future, the most important person on the road of growth, because you will Responsible for helping them understand their role in this team and the world, and helping them to play their role better, which will affect the player's life. This is also an extremely noble job that deserves everyone's respect! "

Ye Qiu's words were nodded and approved by everyone present. Perhaps many of them came to this coach training class with one purpose or another, but Ye Qiu's words not only clearly told them , this job will be very promising in the future, and it also gives this job an extraordinary significance.

No one will say that Ye Qiu is boasting, because among all the teams in the Premier League, only Tottenham Hotspur have set up a special training course for youth coaches, and this training course has also been recognized by UEFA. The above investment is a lot of money, but Ye Qiu is willing to do this.

In his opinion, youth training coach is the most scarce profession in the future, and it is also what English football needs most now.

If you want to improve your youth training, is it possible without these youth training coaches and scouts who discover and train young players?
Therefore, in Ye Qiu's view, this is an investment in the future, not only for the future development of Tottenham Hotspur, but also for English football.

However, relatively speaking, Ye Qiu is more willing to make his thoughts more selfish. After all, he has never been a great person who wants to change everything. He is very small, and he only thinks about how to change himself and the people around him. people and things.
