Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 124 The Return of Boas
Villas-Boas returned to the first team and did not make any noise in Porto. The mainstream media in Portugal are talking about the performance of several domestic teams in the European war. Ping, it is really a shot in the arm for Portuguese football, which is weak in foreign wars.

Even if some people in the club have some complaints about the 24-year-old young man being promoted to the first-team coaching staff, they don’t intend to cause a strain on the relationship with Mourinho. Everyone knows that Porto’s coach and Villas-Boas are brothers. It is understandable to gather his cronies after Chairman Costa's approval, but they still have doubts about the ability of this ginger-haired boy.

After Boas handed over the work of the youth team, he was taken by Mourinho to the place where the first team coaches often gather the next day. The Setubal people knew the ability of "little carrot" when they were under Robson. The old handsome is full of praise for his talent in knowing people.

But other people don't know. Even Brito and Faria, the two close relatives, only know from Mourinho that there is a young coach in the Porto youth academy who is his brother. In an "interview", Boas will inevitably have to bear the infamy of his relationship in the team.

"Andre, these are colleagues from the coaching staff. If you are careful, you must know them all. I won't introduce them one by one. Everyone, he is Andre Vilas-Boas. He was transferred from the youth team to be in charge of the enemy team. In the intelligence and investigation work of the Fang team, we will be working partners in the future, this time I will ask him to explain the future plan to you, and directly raise any questions."

Mourinho patted Boas on the shoulder, let him in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "You don't need to show any face. Although Andre is young, he has also worked in this industry for six or seven years. As long as it involves When it comes to work, I will not protect the calf."

Boas was not at all restrained, holding a stack of documents and took the position given up by Mourinho. He stroked his hair and said unhurriedly: "My earliest job was as a scout in Porto, but Now, Jose gave me a very different mission than before. I received the order to form an enemy reconnaissance department, or 'OOD' for short.

Many of the top European teams have a functional structure like this, but Portugal doesn't have it yet, we have zero foundation and everything has to start from scratch.This document is my analysis report on youth league opponents. It was originally intended to be used by U19s, but last year the club transferred me to the lower age echelon and no longer let me be responsible for this work.

Although this report is still being worked on, no one has read it. Everyone will be colleagues in the future. I don’t want anyone to doubt my ability at work. Let everyone pass it on first, mainly to Sporting Lisbon and Benfica youths Data files of team players. "

Brito and Faria took the document from Boas. After reading only a few pages, they all looked at the young man with surprise and admiration. The information in their hands was too detailed. It's hard to imagine that this was done by one person, and the quality is even better than that of Porto's entire scouting team.

Mourinho smiled and looked at Boas who was sitting upright over there. The little carrot was much more mature than before. Mr. Robson's promotion gave him a lot of resources that others could not imagine, but it did not affect Boas at all. Continuing to work hard, he has incredible confidence and patience in discovering his talents.

"The enemy reconnaissance department that Jose wants to form is a very complete independent scouting system. I have carefully considered that Porto's biggest goal now is to go abroad and bring back the glory of the European war. The way scouts from all over the world work part-time to dig out information is far from meeting expectations.

If you want to do as well as other European teams, in addition to sufficient funds, the most important thing is professionalism. This is what I have been criticizing when I talked to Jose about Porto's current scouting department. My vision is completely solidified.

Simply using indicators to distinguish pros and cons is extremely stupid. Football is not a game. Is it possible to know his true ability by drawing a hexagon next to a player's photo?Data can tell us many things, but the data is definitely not all. As professional football players, we must not only look at the essence through the appearance, but also combine various information to analyze.

I believe you all know the dealers of the gambling syndicates. They are evil existences in the perception of ordinary people, but there is one thing that is worth learning. What does the dealer's odds actuary rely on?It is accurate and precise information. They don't let go of any information on and off the field. Only by combining these can the dealers have a relatively safe expectation on the basic trend of the results of most games.

Their professionalism needs us to learn. According to my understanding, the enemy reconnaissance department in Porto must be divided into two parts. After summarizing, the elite team stationed in Porto is responsible for producing the report.

During the European war stage, I will take the elite team to go abroad for investigation in advance. The best time period should be a week. If Jose has time, he can go to watch the game of important opponents together. Sometimes the intuitive experience is better than that. Reporting is far more important.

As for the candidates for the team, in addition to the experienced scouts currently in Porto, I also want the club to bring back some people from abroad to assist me in sorting out the data. In addition, Mr. Rafat, can you choose from Am I assigned an assistant who specializes in sports medicine on the medical team?
Experienced physicians can discover some less obvious physical problems of players from daily training, and these are often missing in previous analysis reports. It is far from enough to obtain information from official injury notices issued by opponents , If we can find out the physical hidden dangers of the enemy players, we can use more targeted tactics to find breakthroughs.

In fact, in the game against Real Madrid a few days ago, I discovered that Alenichev was not in a particularly good state. This was inseparable from the old injury of his right leg muscle, although it did not have much impact on his normal performance. But he failed to seize open opportunities several times against Carlos. The Russian did not make so many unforced errors in the first half of the season. "

Porto's medical team leader Rafat was silent for a while, but nodded in agreement with Boas: "Young man, you are right, Alenichev's old injury has not been completely healed, my The team has helped him do many recovery training sessions, but he doesn't always feel good. You have double eagle eyes.

There is no problem with the doctor, you can go to my place to talk to them tomorrow, if there is no suitable candidate, I have an old friend, his eyes are also very poisonous, but the cost of inviting him out of the mountain may be relatively high. "

Mourinho took up the conversation with a smile: "Don't worry about this, the funds approved by Mr. Chairman are absolutely sufficient. After all, Porto is the richest club in Portugal. If the problem can be solved with money, then it is not a problem. "
