Chapter 594: The Ball Saint's Mouth

"Mr. Yang Huan, this is our Adidas Sports Center!"

When the two teams arrived in Amsterdam, the core management of Ajax was warmly welcoming the guests in the south of the city, next to the Amsterdam Arena, at the Ajax training base Detokmost.

Yang Huan took Peter Kenyon and others into the Adidas Sports Center in Detokmmost.

He was accompanied by Adidas representative, old friend Markus Bowman.

Southampton and Ajax are both sponsored by Adidas, so it is clear that Adidas wants to strengthen the communication and connection between the two teams in this way.

Yang smiled and led a group of people, accompanied and introduced by Ajax's chairman John Jacques, head coach De Boer, and the team's transfer operation Overmars, and others, began to enter this sports center.

The white building, as its name suggests, is a sports center.

The largest is an indoor soccer pitch for the first team and youth teams.

In addition, there are a series of high-end and high-end things such as speed measurement tracks, motion measurement systems and analysis systems.

John Jack and other core executives of Ajax, I don't know if they want to prove it in front of Marcus Bowman, or if they really feel awesome, anyway, they are blowing this sports center to the sky, as advanced as they want.

Yang Huan smiled perfunctorily along the way, followed, and visited, and didn't think it was a big deal.

Ajax, for example, said that their technology can integrate the number of teams and individuals in their movements, and analyse the direction of the players in the future, as well as the improvement of the team's training program, among other things.

But when Yang Huan wanted to have a deeper understanding of what they had studied, the person in charge of the Ajax Sports Center just said that he was still exploring, but he believed that he would be able to make results soon, and then he would be able to take care of him.

In this regard, Yang Huan can only be hehe.

There is no doubt that Ajax has a very good and even unparalleled experience in the development of young players, but they have their own set of fixed development models and have been running for many years.

Now I want to transform this traditional training model into an information model, which may not be possible overnight, and the advantages of the past have now become a disadvantage.

This has to be said to be a very sad thing!

However, if Ajax continues to invest and research in this area, and persevere, it will definitely be able to make a difference in the future.

After all, what they have is valuable experience that other teams don't have.

And no matter how informatization is used and how it develops, in the end, it is still the players in the final analysis!

It's just that as things stand, Ajax seems to lack such patience.

Especially when the person in charge of the Ajax project proposed that Ajax's research in these aspects has led the world for nearly ten years, Yang Huan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, is this fooling investors?

If you Ajax are years ahead of the world with a little bit of technology, then what are we in Southampton?

Oh, aren't we earthly?

Okay, let's go back to Mars!

The entire Adidas Sports Center gives Yang Huan the feeling that it is beautiful and expensive, but it lacks an innovative atmosphere, and it is full of old stereotypes and conformism.

That's not a good sign!

But Yang Huan is a guest, for this kind of thing, he is rotten in his heart and doesn't say anything.

"Mr. Yang Huan, what do you think of our sports center?"

The group walked out of the Adidas Sports Center again, and John Jack asked Yang Huan next to him with a smile.

Yang Huan smiled, "Very good, quite good." ”

"Yes, we've been working on some technical projects for two years, and we plan to use another three years to get the most out of this sports center."

John Jacques introduced it with a bit of high spirits and ambitions.

Yang Huan still nodded, "Well, Ajax is indeed the world leader in these aspects!" ”

John Jack was obviously very satisfied with the praise and affirmation from Yang Huan, and after laughing a few times, he was still humble.

"Ajax has changed dramatically in the past three years since the Velvet Revolution, and we have redefined the direction and strategy of the club for the future, bringing in the likes of Bergkamp, De Boer, Overmars and Edwin van der Sar."

"We will resolutely implement the business strategy proposed by Cruyff in the technical report [Road to Rebuild], and in the next few years, while ensuring Ajax's domestication in the Netherlands, we will try to improve the team's competitiveness in the European arena as much as possible, get a better position, and regain the glory of the past!"

When John Jack mentioned Cruyff, there was a slight frenzy among the people around him.

But there are also some people who seem very indifferent and noncommittal.

It is clear that even within Ajax, it is not monolithic.

When Yang Huan heard this, he hehe again.

With Ajax's current situation, it would be good to be able to keep the position of the leading leader in the Netherlands.

Still counting on making a difference in the Champions League?

Don't be funny, okay?

Not to mention compared with the top five European leagues, even compared with the Portuguese Super League, Ajax does not have the slightest advantage.

At the end of the day, people have money!

Today's professional football is dominated by capital, youth training or something, and if you have money, you can be willful.

What was Chelsea's youth training like? What about Tottenham Hotspur's academy? When Arsene Wenger was in charge, was Arsenal's academy good?

But now?

Ten years ago, what was the youth training like in Germany?

What does that rely on, in ten years, from the original talent withering, to the current talent blowout?

By money!

If German football had not been able to promote youth training reform without the huge amount of money that has been brought in over the past decade to promote youth reform, would it be where it is now?

But what does Ajax have?

A football field, a training base, a bunch of stereotypical old people, and what else?

As for mentioning Cruyff, Yang Huan felt hehe again in his heart.

After Russell came to power in Barcelona, Cruyff couldn't stay in Barcelona and was swept away.

And after that?

With De Boer, Overmars and other Ajax celebrities, the prestige of the past, instigated the Ajax fan club, launched the so-called velvet revolution, overthrew the Ajax board of directors twice, and painted a piece of beautiful pie, but is it realistic?

To put it bluntly, this is a palace fight drama of intrigue, don't think Cruyff is so great!

Perhaps, in the hearts of the old man of the football saint, it is because he was swept out of the house by Barcelona and his soul is empty and lonely, so with the help of Ajax, he continues to brush up on the professional football world!

As for Overmars, Jonker, De Boer, and even Bergkamp and others, do they really have the ability to lead Ajax?

In terms of coaching, Yang Huan is a layman, I can't say, but in terms of club management, he is completely unqualified!

What is the most important thing about a professional team?

There is no doubt about the transfer reinforcements!

It can be said that the quality of transfer reinforcements determines the competitiveness of a team.

Ajax's current academy is completely unable to meet the needs of the first team, so it is important to bring in reinforcements.

Let's take a look at Ajax's reinforcements after the Velvet Revolution.

How many of the players brought in were worth the money?

For a team as small as Ajax, value-for-money reinforcements are not enough, they want to buy low and sell high, then they have to be worth the money!

But now?

Led by Overmars and others, the players brought in can't even get their money's worth!

As for what Danish defender Poulsen, former Liverpool player Babel, etc., are all a group of masters who can't get along in the five major leagues, but the annual salary is not low, and the age is a lot, is it useful to bring them in? Can you sell it for a good price?

A few years ago, Ajax spent more than 16 million euros to bring in Soleimani from Heerenveen, and the result?

The player became Ajax's biggest parallel trade ever.

According to the usual logic, since it is no longer possible, why don't you just jump the price and sell it?

But Ajax's management is biased?

Stay in the team, raise, guard the water cooler, and ...... This summer, a free transfer is gone!

If you are a savvy Ajax fan, you should shout at Overmars and others.

Dude, don't you always think about buying people?

Occasionally, you sell a person!

In Yang Huan's view, Ajax's group of former famous executives may know how to play football, but they must not know how to play professional football.

Moreover, in these years, all those who take loyalty, feelings, and feelings to talk about things are always very unreliable.

What's more, they followed Cruyff, but they didn't learn anything else, so they learned the mouth of the ball saint.

Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country!

Ajax's problems right now are many and complex.

But there are some people who are unwilling to face the cruel reality and always fantasize about their past glory peak.

What's the use of that?

Can you eat the Champions League trophy in the honour room? Can I exchange money? Can it attract players?

To put it mildly, if Ajax can be pragmatic, put down his body and learn from Porto, it will be a success.

At the very least, Ajax is really experienced in player development.

But the problem is that you can't even learn from teams like Porto, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica!

Yang Huan knew very well in his heart that the reason why Adidas took advantage of the opportunity of the Europa League final to invite Yang Huan and others to Detokmost, to put it bluntly, was to promote the cooperation between the Saints and Ajax.

But after learning about the situation at Ajax, Yang Huan was not interested.

As a boss, he doesn't like the kind of employees who are not willing to be down-to-earth and always like empty talk.

And as the boss, he doesn't like the kind of little brother who puts the score particularly outrageously at all.

Therefore, after walking out of the Adidas Sports Center, Yang Huan glanced at Peter Kenyon.

The latter understood and knew what Young Master Huan meant, and immediately walked out.

"Young Master Huan, the time is almost up, Miss Zhuang is probably waiting!"

When John Jack and the others heard this, they all looked at the time.

No, it's still early to kick off, so it's almost time?

Who knows, Yang Huan pretended to suddenly realize, "Yes, it's almost time!" ”

"No, Young Master Huan, it's still very early, let's go to the office and sit for a while, then look around, and we'll treat you to a meal in the evening......"

"Another day, another day!" Yang Huan smiled and waved his hand, "I'm really embarrassed, I already made an appointment for dinner tonight." ”

Everyone in Ajax suddenly looked at Marcus Bowman one by one, as if asking, buddy, we haven't talked about the most important thing yet, can't we let him go like this!

But Marcus Bowman was depressed and could only smile wryly.

You blow yourself so hard and scare everyone away, what can I do?

Besides, who can control Young Master Huan's work?

I can only find another opportunity in the future and think of a way!

Yang Huan pretended not to know about this, greeted Peter Kenyon and Long Wu, and after a few more polite words, left.

Left this group of people, you look at me, I look at yours, sigh.

It's as if he's missed some godsend. R1148
