coach legend

Chapter 417 The Future
"Yang, Yang. Pass the ball, pass the ball!"

"Frank, shoot!"

The gray-haired coach followed the team on the sidelines, waving his arms vigorously and shouting loudly.

"Pass the ball, pass the ball!"

Looking at his gray hair, many people think that this coach is already in his 70s and 54s.In fact, this coach is not that old, only [-] years old.He is Adrian Gray, director of the Blackburn youth academy.

This is where the Blackburn Academy is located.

Blackburn's youth academy is not very famous in England.There are many famous youth training camps in England.

Including Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and West Ham United, their youth training camps are all famous in English football.

Manchester United and Arsenal needless to say.

Manchester United's youth academy has always had a tradition in English football.With Ferguson's 92 generation achieving great success in European football, the reputation of Manchester United's youth academy is growing.Manchester United is a giant in England, and it was a giant in England before Ferguson took over.

Arsenal's academy has also been fantastic.And now that he has such a reputation, Wenger has to mention it.Wenger's ability to turn stones into gold at Arsenal has made all European football people admire.For Wenger's ability, many young players flock to him.

In addition, Wenger used the money from selling Anelka to rebuild the Arsenal youth academy.I don't know how many young talents are going to Arsenal for trial training.It's all about Wenger.

Not to mention Liverpool's youth academy.

In the 90s, Liverpool had a large number of young talents.Redknapp, McManaman, and Fowler also ruled the roost for a while, but it is a pity that they failed to achieve the results of Manchester United's 92 generation.After them, the Liverpool youth academy has no shortage of talents.

Carragher, Owen, and Gerrard are all outstanding products of Liverpool's youth training.

Not to mention West Ham United.Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Lampard, Carrick, Defoe, Johnson are all famous players in the Premier League.

Their youth academy is more famous than Blackburn.

But Blackburn is not without advantages.Because Blackburn has achieved great results in recent years, and George likes to reuse some young people.There are countless young players who have become famous in the hands of George.People like Deco and Klose have become world-class stars in the hands of George.

Not just them, even Duff.

Duff was just a well-known talent in English football before George took over.But after George took over, Duff quickly became a world-class star.

Therefore, many young players began to pour into the Blackburn youth training camp.Their purpose is to get George's guidance.Therefore, the current Blackburn youth training camp has come to try out every day.Anyway, it was very lively.

At present, in the Blackburn youth training camp, the two brightest people are Franck Ribery and Yang Feng who are currently being trained by Adrian Gray.

Ribery is a player that George introduced for free this season and then threw it into the youth academy.

Needless to say, Yang Feng was a player George picked up from the street three years ago.At that time, Yang Feng was only 13 years old, and now Yang Feng is 16 years old.Just signed a new contract with Blackburn.

What kind of players are the most popular in the youth team, or the best performers.

Three kinds of players.

The first type of players are tall and powerful players, these players have an advantage in youth team games.Because players with good health have a great advantage in facing young players whose bodies have not yet grown up in the youth team competition.

The second type of player is a player with excellent skills.Because the youth team competition is not as fierce as the adult team competition, players with excellent skills can do a job with ease in the youth group competition.

Just like van der Vaart they performed very well in the Eredivisie.But facing a beast waist like Essien, he was very afraid.No one can say for sure what will happen to the skilled players who performed well in the youth team when they play in the adult team.

The third type of player is the fast player.

Fast players are difficult to defend even in adult team games.Speed ​​is a great advantage in football.This is especially true in the fast-paced English football.

Therefore, in the youth team competition, these three players are the most favored by youth team coaches.

Ribery and Yang Feng are not only excellent in technique, but also fast.Placed on both sides, it is completely invincible in the youth team game.Yang Feng played on the left, Franck Ribery on the right, and the two sides made an assault at lightning speed.

Ribery is no longer as thin and small as when he first came.

Ribery now has 64 kilograms, but it is not just an increase in weight, but an increase in body muscle. With a height of 1.7 meters, even if he is hit by someone, he will not fall over.

The weight gain did not affect Ribéry's speed and technique at all.

In the youth team game, Ribery can stir up troubles on the right.Especially the combination of man and ball is better than anyone else.

And Yang Feng, who is only 16 years old now, is already 1.7 meters five.Although not very tall for a football field, it is not too short either.In addition, he has been a key player in the Blackburn youth academy since he was 13 years old, so his body is far stronger than Ribery.

After formal training in the Blackburn youth training camp, Yang Feng's gorgeous skills when he was a child are much less.

Now Yang Feng is still so fast, even faster than Ribery.But the technical movements are much more concise, and many of those flashy technical movements have disappeared.

Adrian Gray likes these two players very much.

Adrian Gray was very little known.In other words, the reputation in English football is very average, but it is not a coach who has never seen young talents.Duff, who is now popular in the first team, was trained by him back then.

And David Dunn, who has left Blackburn, is also Adrian's work.

Essien was also instructed by Adrian Gray before his loan.

Although he has also experienced these geniuses, Adrian is still pleasantly surprised by Franck Ribery and Yang Feng.This is a gift from God to Blackburn.Their strength is as good as that of Duff back then.

Although Ribery was a little older than Duff at the time, it was only because he had not received systematic and complete formal training.

Fortunately, Ribery is only 19 years old now.

19 years old, not old at all.

As long as it is well sculpted, it will definitely not be worse than the current Duff.Maybe even better than Duff in the future.

"Beep beep——" Adrian waved his hand after blowing the whistle to end the training. "Okay, today's training ends here."

Ribery got off the field and wiped his face with a towel.Looking at the little furry children next to them, the biggest one is not even close.But I am almost 20 years old and I am still training with them.

"Yang, what are you doing later?"

After Ribery arrived at the youth academy, he didn't get along very well with these young players.

Ribery is not like Pires.Pires is because of his arrogance, he will only associate with those players whom he likes.And those players with poor strength, Pires looked down on from the bottom of his heart.Pires is a genius, full of arrogance from top to bottom.

Pires' popularity is really not very good.But it's not too bad.

Therefore, Blackburn is originally full of geniuses and talented generals.Which one of Micoud, Klose, Duff, and Alonso is not a genius.Therefore, Pires still gave them face.

And Ribery is not arrogant, but inferiority.

Not only because of the scar on his face, but also because George directly threw him in the youth team.Although the youth team was flourishing, Ribery always felt ashamed.This feeling of inferiority has always troubled Ribery.

So Ribery didn't have many friends in the Blackburn youth academy.

Only Yang Feng, who also grew up being discriminated against since childhood.Although because of his outstanding performance in the youth team, he no longer suffers from the kind of discrimination he had when he was a child.But Yang Feng didn't get along well with these people.

Both are geniuses.And the relationship with other players is average, but the relationship between the two is very good.

"go home."

Yang Feng's answer made Ribery dumbfounded.Yang Feng is good at everything, and it is this that makes Ribery very dissatisfied.After every training session, he would go straight home.Not fun at all.

"Yang, let's go out and play. My treat."

Although Ribery is currently training in the youth team, his weekly salary is 16 pounds.Although Yang Feng was trained by the Blackburn youth training camp, he is only [-] years old now.It was also a newly signed contract just now, with a weekly salary of only [-] pounds.

So Franck Ribery is far richer than Yang Feng.

Two thousand pounds is an absolutely amazing salary for Ribery.

"This one……"

For Yang Feng, who is 16 years old and just in the rebellious period, the outside is still very attractive.Although Blackburn is not a big city, there are still many places to eat, drink and have fun.Yang Feng's family is not rich, so he has never seen these things since he was a child.

"But, Frank. My parents won't let me out."

"What's the matter? Just tell your parents that we'll go out for dinner together. The two of us will go see the world and go home at eleven o'clock."

It was the first time in Ribery's life that he earned so much money, and his heart was itchy.It has been half a season since he came to Blackburn, and Ribery already has more than 2 pounds in his hands.There was also some other money that Ribery sent home.

But even so Ribery is a little rich man.

After coming to England for half a year, Ribery has not seen England well.Franck Ribery is not fully familiar with such a small place as Blackburn.So Ribery really wants to take advantage of some time now to play at Blackburn.

Yang Feng was a little moved.

"Really be back soon?"

"Of course. You are still underage, and you can't drink alcohol. Let's go and have a look, eat, take a walk, and see." Franck Ribery continued to seduce Yang Feng.

Under Ribery's temptation, Yang Feng finally nodded.

"Just a moment."

"Just for a while, don't worry. Let's go and have a look."
