The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 420 Debate on Youth Training
Last night, Ye Qiu drank a lot of wine and chatted with Ferguson and Arsene Wenger for several hours. They have reached a tacit understanding and agreement, and he also believes that this agreement will also be recognized and agreed by Liverpool and Chelsea. affim.

In other words, this is something that is good for any team.

After waking up the next morning, Ye Qiu casually ate some breakfast and drove to Theobald Training Base.

Ye Qiu arrived at the gate of Theobald's training base. The garden sprinkler had just finished watering and cleaning the road and the park outside the gate, so the entire asphalt road was still wet.

The security guards were very professional. As soon as they saw Ye Qiu's car, they immediately came out of the security room, opened the electric gate, and greeted Ye Qiu, "Good morning, Mr. Ye Qiu!"

"Good morning, thank you for your hard work!" Ye Qiu politely said to the security guard in the car, nodded and drove in. When passing by the Central Lake Park, Ye Qiu noticed someone in the youth training area, smiled, and arrived After parking the car outside the first team training building, he walked directly to the youth training area.

The youth training area is next to the central park area is an independent building with two floors. This is where Tottenham Hotspur's scouting department is located, and the so-called scouting department is not a lot of people from all over the world. Not a scout, but a data and analytics center.

As early as Eliza Moon's period, Ye Qiu specially developed a set of Internet software through an American company, and then equipped every agent and scout outside with a computer, and later changed it to When it becomes a Zeus mobile phone, there will be a software or APP application in the mobile phone and computer.

When they find a player, or re-examine a player who has already been registered, they can directly enter their own observations, reports, and scores of various data through computers and mobile phones, and these data will be It is directly stored in the host of the scouting center and analyzed by the analysis software of the host.

Once the team needs it, you can directly input the corresponding data from the host, the host will automatically analyze the needs of the team, and recommend a big list, as well as detailed scouting reports and data of all players in the big list, If the team's head coach and coaching staff think it is appropriate, then arrange scouts to conduct a complete system inspection again.

Of course, Tottenham Hotspur will also give scouts a lot of freedom. If the scout feels that the player is indeed full of talent and potential, he can submit a detailed report and application to the club to recommend the player to the club. All expenses during the trial period shall be borne by the club.

Over the years, Eliza's scouting network, especially in South America, Africa and Europe, has been well established. Now Tottenham Hotspur directly borrow this set of scouting network, and at the same time it is more perfect. The analysis capabilities of the scouting system, such as establishing a player analysis module that belongs to the team's technical and tactical styles.

Many people may feel a little strange, that is, how do European teams inspect players?
This involves the analysis module, which is to let all scouts know what type of player I want.

For example, Tottenham Hotspur pay attention to players with solid technical skills and creativity, so aspects such as ball stopping, technology, and imagination are very important. These values ​​​​are used in the scouting system to analyze a player. The weight of scoring will be greater, and Ye Qiu pays more attention to explosive power, which is also very important.

To put it simply, FM Football Manager is indeed as close as possible to the scouting system of Tottenham Hotspur. The difference is that the numerical inspection of players in FM Football Manager is done by some fans, which is relatively lacking. Professional, and sometimes more impressive, and Tottenham Hotspur's player numbers will be more professional, and in order to avoid missing some potential stars of hope, Tottenham Hotspur will also adopt a relatively loose strategy.

But in the final analysis, data cannot reflect the tactical value of players at all, so there is another very important section, that is, the scout report. It will also analyze the advantages and disadvantages of players, but it will be more detailed than FM Football Manager. After all That is the report given by the computer AI, which cannot be compared with professional scouts. Sometimes Tottenham Hotspur’s scout report will even detail in which area and situation the player performed best, when and what environment, which is clearly not possible with computer games.

Ye Qiu heard that De Weissel's scouting report to the center back Alex was astonishingly over 40 pages thick, but Eindhoven lacked financial resources and could not sign Alex. Pini Zahavi's relationship allowed Abramovich to sign Alex and then sublet to PSV Eindhoven, and this transfer was naturally recorded under Arnesen.

"Hi, Peter!" Ye Qiu walked into the youth training area. The youth team's training building is still undergoing external decoration, so a dense steel frame has been built outside, and Peter Dewissel is staring at the steel frame in a daze.

As veterans with the same seniority as Bobby Harms, they are also Dutch celebrities who have won the Michels Lifetime Achievement Award. Both of them have a very interesting thing in common, that is, they are not famous and very low key.

If Ye Qiu is allowed to choose, he can have many excellent options. For example, the former Valencia technical director Javier Subirac, who is currently at home, is the former Valencia star. Monchi of Leah, without him, it would be difficult for Valencia to have the glory of that period around the century.

There is also Monchi, a profiteer from Sevilla that many fans talk about, but these two people are indeed very good at scouting networks and digging talents, but the problem is that they both have a problem. It's just too strong.

Subirac was indeed very brilliant in Valencia. Although he is not very well known, even Benitez, who was later promoted by him, has a relatively ordinary relationship with him, because he prefers to interfere. , will more or less limit the authority and prestige of the head coach.

Not to mention Monchi, there was a popular saying in Seville at that time, it doesn’t matter if anyone is missing, but Monchi cannot be missing, because his eyes are the biggest treasure house in Seville.

For a team, Ye Qiu didn't know whether it was a success or a failure for Sevilla.

In addition, there must be others, such as Arsenal's Steve Lawley and Liverpool's Eduardo Macia. Frank Arneson, although many of his deeds are written by Peter Dewissel, but his network of contacts cannot be denied.

What Ye Qiu valued and appreciated most about Peter Dewissel was his low profile.

De Vissel, who was born as a head coach, knows exactly what the head coach taboos the most, so during the entire Eindhoven period, he was very low-key and never interfered with the team. He just silently followed the team's instructions. Need to select and recommend talents.

As for the reason why he left Eindhoven, it more or less had something to do with Ye Qiu and Ajax.

Ever since Ye Qiu took charge of Ajax, this Amsterdam team has fully revived. Even after Ye Qiu left, Van Basten took over to ensure Ajax's continued glory to the greatest extent. Suppressed the sworn enemy PSV Eindhoven.

The results were not satisfactory, and internal conflicts naturally emerged step by step, especially Devissel, the team's long-time courtier, and Valex, the technical director, had a very strong relationship with the new general manager of the club, Lake A very important factor for Lake's dissatisfaction with them is Alex.

He thinks that Alex is in Eindhoven, which is not beneficial to Eindhoven, because he belongs to Chelsea, and Eindhoven has been completely reduced to Chelsea's processing plant. This is not what he wants to see, but The technical director Valex has a close relationship with the agent Remic, and Remic trusts Devissel's vision, so some players dug out by Devisel began to be manipulated by Remic and sent to Ein Huo Wen came, such as the Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez.

It is said that so far, there are 7 players in the PSV Eindhoven team belonging to Remic, coupled with the relationship between the technical director Valex, which made Lake feel threatened. After the showdown, the club's board of directors supported Lake because they also wanted to It was necessary to break this pattern of interests, so in the end Valex stepped down, and Remic was also contained.

Although de Vissel was not directly involved in it, but because he was the head of the team's scouting department and was directly under the management of the technical director, he was naturally included in the Valex faction. Gu Xi was no longer accepted by Lake, who wanted to reform vigorously, so he was also disheartened and thought of leaving Eindhoven.

Under such circumstances, Ye Qiu found the Amsterdam native through the relationship between Eliza Moon and Bobby Harms, and successfully persuaded him to come to London. Tottenham Hotspur, which is obviously bigger and broader than PSV Eindhoven's development space and platform, came to London.

De Vissel is a silver-haired, thin-looking Dutch old man with a pair of glasses. He looks very weak, but he gives the impression of being very knowledgeable, and he speaks very softly, a typical gentleman .

Such people are rare in the management of football clubs, because football has always admired blood, even the management, almost all of them are majestic and strong men, and it is relatively rare for frail scholars, so it seems a bit different .

Although it has been decided not to renew the contract with Eindhoven, and Eindhoven has also agreed to let Peter Dewissel leave, but Peter Dewissel is still in the contract period for the time being and has to wait until July to officially He entered the management of Tottenham Hotspur, but Ye Qiu had already let him enter the team in advance and attended some important meetings.

"How do you feel about this place?" Ye Qiu walked up to Devisel's side with a smile and asked.

"Very good!" Devisell chuckled softly, but added, "The environment is very good."

Ye Qiu also laughed when he heard it, "It's just that the environment is good. I hope that in a few years, everyone will smell the smell of Tottenham Hotspur football when they walk in. That's really good!"

De Wiesel knew what Ye Qiu meant. They all came from the Netherlands, and Ye Qiu came from Ajax. They obviously had a deeper understanding of the shaping of the youth training culture than the others.

"I found that there are a lot of small courts in the youth training camp. It seems that you plan to promote youth training in small courts for the youth team. Is that true?" Devisel had obviously walked around and noticed it. Youth team training ground.

In fact, not only the youth team's training ground, the first team also has an exclusive small outdoor training ground. Ye Qiu even built a special indoor football stadium, which is full of small indoor football fields. The players of the team can play and train in it at will.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Different from the small field youth training that has become popular in continental Europe, the Premier League, even in Manchester United and Arsenal, generally still adopt standard field youth training, because they believe that it can accumulate and train players' physical fitness and running ability from a young age. .”

There has always been a serious debate in England about the advantages and disadvantages of large and small fields. Some people think that from the perspective of football technology, small fields are more advocating technical details in a small area, while large fields are closer to football. Actual combat, and can exercise players' physique from an early age, so that they can better adapt to the style of Premier League and English football.

But there are also some people who believe that the top youth training in Europe uses small venues, because the small venues pay more attention to the technical details of the players, and at the same time, they can also cultivate the skills of the players when they encounter urgent pressing and narrow defenses.

This kind of debate has been going on for several years in the past. It is not that England does not pay attention to youth training, but has been entangled in the debate between a small venue and a large venue for many years, and no one is willing to invest money. After all, it is responsible for youth training. One piece of the FA itself is difficult to protect itself, where does the money come from?

Ye Qiu has no position on the debate between small and large venues. There is no difference between small and large venues, and you can't kill them all with one shot. It depends on the situation, for example, at what age group. A small field is good, what age group is better to use a large field, this has a clear concept in Ajax.

As for the training of basic technical details, whether it is a small venue or a large venue, it is very important and can be guaranteed.

"Small venues have the advantages of small venues, and large venues also have the advantages of large venues. However, I think the most important aspects of youth training for players lie in three aspects. Reasonable and skilled use of basic technical skills stimulates players' creative thinking. One thing is to cultivate the player's sense of space."

The former has achieved a broad consensus, even the English are very clear that skills will receive more and more attention, so strengthening the skills of youth training players has also received widespread attention.

As for the creative thinking of the players, this is also what many teams value. For example, Manchester United and Arsenal attach great importance to the cultivation of this aspect, so they are different from other teams in England that emphasize hard training. They adopt a more free approach. The youth training method is used to cultivate players' creative ways of playing football.

But Ye Qiu felt that the biggest problem for England players was the sense of space, or the sense of presence in the game.

For example, anyone who has played football may encounter a situation. When the ball is away from you, you may not feel it, you may not even have any awareness, and you don’t know what you can do. When you are playing, the ball suddenly comes towards you. At this time, you will feel flustered, and you may even be at a loss.

This situation is a serious lack of sense of space, or a sense of presence in the game, because during the period when he was in a trance, he lacked enough awareness to integrate into the game.

If it is in amateur games, this phenomenon is very common, but it is not allowed in the top league, because in the top league, a game changes suddenly every minute and every second, if you If you can't handle sudden changes anytime and anywhere, and you can't make early warnings in advance, you will be at a loss when the ball or opportunity comes, and you will bring huge losses to the team at that time.

If it's an attacker, it leads to missed chances, and if it's a defender, it leads to goals conceded.

Why are there so many fouls against opponents in the Premier League?Why is the Premier League's foul scale relatively wide?There are even tragic incidents that often hurt people?
In the final analysis, no one would intentionally infringe or hurt the other party, because everyone is a professional player. Cases like Keane’s are quite special. idea.

But the problem is that when you lack the sense of presence in the game and when opportunities suddenly appear, everyone will subconsciously make some dangerous conditioned reflex actions, as if someone hit your knee joint with a hammer, you will Kick him reflexively, even if you don't want to kick him in your mind, you will still kick him because you have no way to control it.

The scariest thing about any professional player is the inability to control his body and mind.

Some people say that the most important thing in football is technique, but Ye Qiu thinks otherwise, because technique can be practiced, it can be practiced in the early years, and it can still be practiced in adulthood.

The body can also be trained, especially when the current training is so scientific, it is not surprising to train the body scientifically, so the body is not important for youth training.

The most important thing is awareness, especially the presence of the game.

So this time, after analyzing and discussing with many Ajax youth training experts, including Bobby Harms and Rick Link, Ye Qiu decided to gradually transform the youth training from the small field to the Large-scale youth training, and some training programs, in addition to relying on the scientific youth training programs of Mullenstein and Moniz, also appropriately strengthen the training of young people to cope with complex scenes and environments.

After all, when you encounter many complicated scenes, when you have been used to dealing with those emergencies since childhood, when you step onto the football field in the future, you will not be chaotic when you encounter such a situation. Don't feel overwhelmed.

Of course, another very important thing is to play more high-level games. This is also the result of Ye Qiu's discussion with Wenger, Ferguson and others yesterday, and that is to propose to organize more youth team games.

After listening to Ye Qiu's analysis, Peter DeVissel walked from the training building to the youth team's training ground. The area has been divided into sections for the preparation of the youth team's training ground. , bedding sod.

The Dutchman felt a sense of embarrassment, because even though he thought Tottenham Hotspur had great potential before, but after coming to this club and this training base, he felt that he still underestimated Ye Qiu and his team. The whole team behind it.

And this kind of understanding also made him more convinced that the future of Tottenham Hotspur is bright!
"By the way, Peter!" Ye Qiu didn't notice Devisel's exclamation, "Do you have time? Let's go to a game tomorrow!"
