819 Football Genius
It's almost training time.
The players of the U15 youth team walked out of the training building one after another.
But unlike in the past, next to the U15 training ground today, outside the barbed wire, there is a row of people.
Looking at the appearance and body shape, one of the two people led by him should be Xu Lao, the head coach of the football school.
"Who is that person next to Old Xu?"
"I don't know, it's too far away, I can't see clearly!"
"Could it be a high guide?"
"No, the high director won't wear this kind of clothes."
"That's General Fan?"
"How is that possible? Is General Fan so thin?
"Could it be Xie Qianfeng?"
"Cut, Xie Qianfeng is taller than him."
"Don't guess, looking at his appearance, he may be from an investment company."
"Eh, I've also heard that Mr. Xu plans to sell the team, will he even sell the football school?"
"yes, it's worrying, if this football school is sold, where are we going?"
"Don't worry about it, even if they really sell the football school, they can still close the school? Besides, if you really have the level and strength, where can you not play football? ”
"Oh, Wang Lei, of course you can say that, everyone knows that you are Xiao Zheng Zhi, and there are professional teams that have taken a fancy to you, where are you not playing? But we're not like you! ”
This group of teenagers from the U15 team walked into the training ground with laughter and laughter along the way.
Mr. Xu was born in the army, and he has always been strict in governing the army, and he has also adopted tough militarized management of football schools.
Therefore, as soon as the young players walked into the training ground, they were all very conscious and began to warm up.
But there are also many people who look up at the outside of the field from time to time, and the more they look, the more they feel that the person standing on the sidelines is familiar, and they turn their heads and ears from time to time, guessing who it is.
Yang Huan stood outside the barbed wire fence and watched the players on the training ground warm up from a distance.
Almost immediately, he noticed an interesting phenomenon.
In this group of U15s, there was a short, thin one.
Maybe many people don't know that kicking and physical fitness are always the first place.
Even in the youth team.
The kind of player who knocks down as soon as he hits, no matter how good his skills are, will not be able to become a talent.
The most typical is Messi.
Messi in his early debut, there were many injuries, and even a lot of people felt that if he continued to play like this, Messi would not be able to become a talent, and it turned out that Messi later changed his playing style and strengthened his physical fitness, which is why he has now a superstar.
To be able to become a professional player, even if he looks thin, his physical fitness is much stronger than that of normal people.
This short and thin little player attracted Yang Huan's attention at the first time.
But what really surprised Yang Huan was his bouncing after the warm-up, and the subsequent rounding of the pile.
When juggling the ball in training, looking at his tricks and various difficult moves, you can see that his ball sense is quite good, but this is not very outstanding.
What really made Yang Huan feel bright was that he was carrying the ball around the pile.
Don't look at his small stature, but he is very explosive, his body is quite flexible, and his balance is also very strong.
Other players usually need to be adjusted around the pile, and some even twist around the body, which is very awkward and embarrassing.
But what about him?
It's like flowing water, all in one go, and almost every step is just right, so after a trip, it still seems to be very easy, and compared with other teammates around it, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd.
"Old Xu, what's the name of that little man in yellow?" Yang Huan couldn't help but took the initiative to ask.
Xu Lao smiled, as if to say, you kid finally couldn't help but ask, right?
"He, Gao Ren, is only twelve years old."
"Twelve?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.
Is it appropriate for this twelve-year-old imp to kick the fifteen-year-old age group?
You must know that children at this age are the fastest to grow their bodies, and sometimes they are one year old, which is amazing.
"Although this kid was born in Longhai, his parents were migrant workers and didn't have time to care about him since he was a child, so he picked up a peeling football on the side of the road that others threw away and didn't want to give it to him, and as a result, this kid played that football since he was a child."
"I heard that at first, it was a hand slap, but then I don't know which passing fan told him that it was football and he had to kick it with his feet, but this kid started playing football at the age of four and has been playing until now."
Yang Huan also felt that this was indeed quite interesting.
From childhood to adulthood, I have played with a football toy and played with it every day, what is it like?
"Two years ago, a friend of mine, who is an amateur referee, happened to go to their school to administer an inter-school friendly match in primary school, and I happened to see this kid, ten years old, third grade, but starting with a group of sixth grade students."
When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, he could completely imagine what kind of grotesque scene it was.
You must know that in the sixth grade of primary school, if you grow faster, you are already close to the height of an adult.
Looking at this kid's current appearance, you can imagine how short he was two years ago.
"But you know what? In that game, this kid scored more than a dozen goals alone, and scoring goals was like playing, and others couldn't snatch the ball from his feet at all, they could only keep fouling! ”
Speaking of this, Xu Lao smiled, "Fortunately, my friend saw it and thought it was good, took care of him a little when he was on the whistle, and sent off two players on the other side with red cards, and told me the news immediately after the game." ”
"As soon as I heard this, I immediately rushed over, watched a training session with him, and immediately went to his parents and dug him up."
Yang Huan couldn't stop nodding, he could see that this kid was indeed quite good.
If you want to talk about professional scouts, Yang Huan is not, but he also watches a lot of football, like this kid named Gao Ren, such an advantage that stands out from the crowd, if he can't see it, it will really be in vain to watch the ball for so many years.
"This kid was born with left and right feet, which is simply an excellent material for playing football, and after coming here for two years, I have carved him fiercely for two years, so that he can get rid of the messy technical movements and some bad habits of kicking, and his basic skills have been solidified."
"Before, he was thinner and smaller than now, when he came to me, the food was good, and his body grew faster, in the last six months, I transferred him to U15, at first he was not very adaptable, but now he ......"
When Xu Lao said this, he shook his head and sighed, "In my opinion, with the speed of his progress, in less than half a year, my U15 here will not be able to satisfy him!" ”
Yang Huan listened silently, but there were huge waves in his heart.
Who says there are no football geniuses in China?
Isn't this Gao Ren in front of him a football genius?
It is completely conceivable that if this Gao Ren hadn't met Xu Lao's referee friend and hadn't met Xu Lao, what would he have done?
It's very simple, studying, taking exams, going to school, and gradually I will stop playing football!
"Young Master Huan, I have opened this football school for more than ten years, and there is such a good seedling, I dare not say anything else, with my lifetime football experience, I dare to pack a ticket, if this kid is well cultivated and plays in the European professional league, there is no problem at all, and even if it is cultivated, I ......"
At the end, Xu Lao kept shaking his head, obviously he couldn't imagine it himself.
"Young Master Huan, you are clear about the football environment in this country, it is not a place to cultivate people, but what, I can't satisfy him here, so ah, I invite you here this time, I just want you to see, can you go to Southampton to play? Can you receive the most professional and advanced training in the best youth academy in Europe? ”
Yang Huan nodded, "I understand, Old Xu." ”
After thinking about it, Yang Huan said again: "Let me make a call first." ”
Xu Lao also knows that the bigger the club, the more formal it is in terms of material selection.
As in Southampton, the investment in each academy player is considerable, so the selection criteria and requirements are naturally high.
It's not that Yang Huan, as the boss, can't shoehorn a person into the academy, but it's unnecessary.
It's better to let the professional scouts come and take a look, it's nothing.
It just so happens that in recent times, Southampton's chief scout Ramon Madoni and Academy director Jorge Bernardo Griffa are both in Longhai, and it is only fitting that they will be in charge of the matter.
When Yang Huan finished making the call and walked back to the training ground, the training session had already begun.
Although it was a training session for the U15 youth team, the intensity was not weak at all.
In the past, when Coach Xu was a first-line head coach in China, the emphasis was on rushing around.
But now, in the past few years, he has always asked for transmission, which can really be said to be keeping up with the trend of the times.
Putting aside the gap in the quality of players, Xu Lao's concept is still quite up to date.
And don't look at this batch of U15 youth teams, but the running ability and tactical execution are not weak at all, which makes Yang Huan nod straight from the sidelines.
This should be regarded as the best youth training team in China!
"Old Xu, this group of players has been playing together for several years, right?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Looking at the tacit understanding when playing football, it is not difficult to see that these players have trained together and grown up together.
Xu Lao didn't deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, it's been many years, and the one who has been with me for the longest time should have been six or seven years, and the shortest time is that Gao Ren, who is a good seedling!" ”
Over the years, he has invested a lot in this group of players, and these people are his hope.
Although Yang Huan can understand and understand, after all, the current domestic environment is indeed very unfavorable to the growth of young players, but for Xu Lao's practice of keeping players together, Yang Huan is still quite uninterested.
However, he admires Xu Lao's open-mindedness very much, as well as his heartfelt love for Chinese football and players.
As a football professional, he should know better than anyone that a player like Gao Ren, if he stays by his side, cultivates it properly, and gives time, he will definitely be able to sell it at a good price in China, even a sky-high price.
But considering the future of the players, he realized that the football school could not satisfy Gao Ren and did not want to delay the future of the players, so he took the initiative to come to Yang Huan and introduce Gao Ren to Southampton.
With this kind of mind, who dares not admire?
How many people can do it?
"Elder Xu, I have found our chief scout in Southampton, and I will be here soon, can you arrange it?"
"Of course!" Xu Lao immediately agreed.
At this time, the coach on the training ground looked over, and Xu Lao beckoned him to come over.
As soon as the coach came over, he immediately saw Yang Huan.
As soon as he heard that it was Young Master Huan who was here to see the performance of this group of young players, the coach immediately nodded busily and promised to postpone the time of the match.
When he returned to the training ground and said the news that Young Master Huan had come to see the game, the players on the field immediately exploded.
In these years, who is engaged in football in China, who doesn't know Young Master Huan?
Young people love to dream, who doesn't want to perform better, be favored by Master Huan, and go directly to the Premier League?
It's cool to be able to play with superstars like Eden Hazard, Luis Suarez, Toni Kroos and more.
As a result, a group of young players on the field all held their strength and planned to do a big job in the internal competition.
This also made Xu Lao on the sidelines very helpless.
As a last resort, I can only come forward in person and train this group of little children well.
Otherwise, if you are on the court for a while, the big guy will kick people on their backs, and you will lose your old face.
On the contrary, it was Yang Huan, standing on the sidelines, listening to Xu Lao training the players, very Ferguson hair dryer!
