Chapter 472: Learning from the Good Example of the Saints
80_80813 "Really? β
With that conversation just now, David Bernstein is now too convinced of Young Master Huan.
"Young Master Huan, please speak"
Yang Huan looked at his excited appearance and knew it in his heart.
In fact, this guy is also an official fan, and although the FA is not as oily as the Premier League, it is not bad.
What's more, football is a sport with a very high status in the UK, and he occupies the position of chairman of the FA, which at first glance does not seem to be good, but in fact, the secret benefits are quite large.
"It's very simple, you just go and draw a flatbread."
"Draw flatbread?" David Bernstein was stunned.
Prince William is also a little stupid, what does this football have to do with painting a big pie?
Young Master Huan smiled, "To put it simply, you have to design a set of detailed comprehensive football reform plans involving all aspects, so that everyone can see the FA's determination to promote reform, including reforming the FA's internal management system." β
When David Bernstein heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, yes, who wouldn't paint a pie?
The slogan of reforming the FA's internal management system has been shouted for many years, and almost everyone feels that it is necessary, but it cannot be pushed forward because of some resistance.
But if you push it strongly during your tenure and put it into practice, won't it greatly meet everyone's expectations?
Besides, how to reform the internal management system, how can people outside know about it?
But soon, he sensed the problem again.
"Young Master Huan, there are two questions."
Yang Huan nodded, it's normal to have problems, if there is no problem, what is the reform?
"Tell me about it."
"First of all, this comprehensive football reform plan is not easy to do."
David Bernstein said with a bitter face, "To tell you the truth, the government and the FA were determined to promote the reform of youth training, probably in the 2000 years, and for this reason, we even spent tens of millions of pounds in 2001 to build the first-class St George's Academy. β
He didn't say that it was okay, but when he talked about the St. George's Youth Training Center, Yang Huan smiled.
This pit daddy youth training center was originally regarded as the British Clay Fontaine, but the result is that it has been built for more than ten years, and the investment is getting higher and higher, and now it is more than 100 million pounds, and it is planned to be opened at a later date after the Olympic Games.
England and Germany launched the youth training reform almost at the same time, and Germany has cultivated a large number of talented rookies such as Ozil, Gotze, Thomas O Muller and Tony O Kroos.
Of course, a very important reason is that there is no money
Hearing Young Master Huan's laughter, David Bernstein and Prince William both felt disgraced.
But what can be done? Who made our family poor?
"In the past few years, we have visited many youth training countries, such as France, Germany, and Spain, but the specific youth training reform plan has never been born."
"The main reason is that we have a special football environment"
For this, Yang Huan agrees very much.
Many England fans say that it is a hooligan to copy Germany and Spain directly.
Is your football environment and social environment in England the same as in Germany and Spain?
Besides, the biggest feature of the Premier League is fast-paced and high-intensity, you use the youth training in Germany and Spain, well, if you really let you cultivate players with excellent skills, but will the Premier League teams use it?
It's like Joe Cole, he's skilled, right? Cow, right? Zinedine Zidane, who was known as England back then
Can Chelsea use it?
Again, the problem lies in the overall environment of English football
It's easy to learn, it's hard to apply
Many people regard the FA and even England's football professionals as fools, and they all think that people are purely corpse vegetarian meals, but they also have their own helplessness.
Since the 10s of the last century, after English teams were banned from the European competition by UEFA, the overall development of English football has lagged behind the European continent for a long time.
This backwardness is not only reflected in tactics, but even directly reflected in the youth training.
Now that the emphasis is on technology, who doesn't know to value technology?
But the problem is, if you want to pay attention to technology, you have to have a coach who values technology to teach your children to play football, right?
All your previous youth training coaches emphasized the body, emphasized the scramble, and did not pay attention to the technique, what should I do?
All fired?
Who will take it for a while?
Well, you said that you want to train a new batch of coaches quickly, who doesn't know?
But the problem is not so simple, training! Money isn't the number one issue, the real number one question is, you have to have a direction, right?
What do you want your country's style of football to look like?
At the very least, you have to have a direction so that everyone knows exactly what I'm going to learn.
And then design a system in this direction, otherwise, it makes sense to practice skills at the age of **, take the Spanish route, practice fighting when you are a teenager, and take the British local route?
When Yang Huan heard this, he also realized the helplessness of the English football industry in his heart.
It's as if they're standing at a crossroads, with roads in front of them, left and right, but they don't know which way they're going.
Relatively speaking, the club is much simpler, and it directly follows the tactical concept of the first team.
As for the youth trainingδΈ¨ talent, it doesn't matter, no, I will poach people directly from abroad, anyway, the Premier League team is not bad for money.
But can the FA roll out this model across the country?
If that's the case, you will definitely be drowned by the saliva of fans across the country
"You know, we at Southampton are very serious about the academy."
David Bernstein nodded, and it was a good thing to do.
The Saints' youth academy is already the best in England, and I am afraid that only Manchester United can compete with it.
But in the past two years, Yang Huan has invested heavily in transformation, and at the same time introduced a large number of talents, and promoted high-tech auxiliary systems, all of which have brought great changes to Southampton.
The whole of England knows that the Saints academy is full of talent and rookies.
"Griffa and Madonie are both old people who have been immersed in football for decades, and they have always been engaged in youth training, Bielsa's tactical concept has always been very advanced, and there are also former FA technical director Harrison O Reid, and England youth training expert Matt O Crocker and others, and I, I have brought them all over and talked a few times about youth training."
The reason why Yang Huan talked to them was mainly for Chinese football, but it also talked about English football.
"England's Academy! Traditionally, the strength is body and passion, with an emphasis on speed, running and confrontation, which is in line with the English league style
David Bernstein couldn't stop nodding, he himself has been engaged in football for decades, and he knows very well whether Yang Huan is right or not.
"With this characteristic of England, unlike Brazil, Spain, Germany and France, you can't copy it, but you can take the advantages of others for your own use, and I very much agree with Bielsa's statement that Southampton's tactical style is the most suitable for English football."
When he said this, Yang Huan didn't have the slightest hint of boasting, but was very strict.
'Ferguson is a great manager, but he's a pragmatist, he doesn't have his own set of ideas, Arsene Wenger has ideas, but his flow of possession is not suitable for England, Mourinho's style is more defensive, this style of play is not pleasing in England, so even when Chelsea have won two consecutive titles, the attendance on the pitch is frighteningly low.
"Benitez's style is balanced, but too rational and lacks passion, and the Istanbul Miracle is not so much Benitez's masterpiece as I prefer to see it as a long-dull outburst of passion in English football."
"Yes, that's right" David Bernstein was set on fire as soon as he heard this.
It was as if all the qi had suddenly opened up
Prince William also nodded uncontrollably, and his words were indeed incisive and unique.
'Bielsa's style of football is very passionate, with an emphasis on running and coverage, high pressure and pressing at all times, and a fast tempo, which is very much in line with English football'
Yang Huan still hasn't said a word, that is, Southampton's football is definitely one of the teams that has attracted the most attention from local fans in the Premier League this season, and the reason is simple, Bielsa's football is always full of passion.
That's what England fans want to see the most
"But at the same time, Bielsa is very technical, teamwork, creativity and imagination of the players, which in turn represents the future of football, so I would say that the Saints' tactics are very suitable for England."
David Bernstein nodded his head again and again.
He couldn't figure out why Southampton was so popular.
But now that Yang Huan said this, it really makes sense
Isn't Southampton a traditional feature of English football?
It's just that the Saints have absorbed advanced football concepts and made their entire tactical system more advanced, which is more in line with the development trend of modern football.
In this way, the youth training of English football should learn from Southampton.
Learn from the saints, there is a future
"Got rid of the England academy! After the directional problem, then the next two biggest problems must be solved. β
"One is the lack of coaches in England's youth training"
Yang Huan's words made David Bernstein's brows suddenly frown again.
Prince William listened a little strangely, "How can there be a scarcity?" Aren't there a lot of them? β
Yang Huan smiled and shook his head, "My Lord Duke of Cambridge, don't you know? Spain has 24,000 coaches with UEFA B and B professional coaching certificates, Germany is 35,000, and guess what, how many in the UK? β
Prince William could have heard Yang Huan's subtext, and hesitated slightly, "At least there must be more than 10,000 people, right?" β
In terms of population, England has more than Spain and less than Germany, but when it comes to professional football clubs, then England casually throws them out a few streets, so the number of high-level professional coaching certificate holders may be few, but it will not be too outrageous.
But who knows, Yang Huan laughed when he heard it.
Even David Bernstein is a little hard to talk about.
"Not even 10,000?" Prince William was a little depressed.
"No," Yang Huan nodded very affirmatively.
"Eight thousand?"
"Too much"
Prince William was furious, and spread five fingers in his right hand, "At least five thousand, right?" β
Who knows, Young Master Huan is still laughing, "It's still too much"
"Don't we have less than 3,000 professional coaches in England?"
Yang Huan smiled silently this time.
Prince William immediately looked at David Bernstein, and the poor FA president greeted him with a wry smile.
"We have only more than 2,700 coaches with UEFA professional coaching certificates"
Niang Xipi's is not enough for a fraction of others
No wonder the level of youth training is so low
It turns out that there are too few professional coaches
"Eh, no, if there are really only more than 2,700 people, how many will be left after deducting professional clubs?"
David Bernstein smiled helplessly, "In fact, even in professional clubs, there are also many youth coaches who do not have professional coaching certificates at all, and what is even more outrageous is that even the head coach of some Premier League first-team teams does not even have coaching qualifications, and the domestic media are not only ashamed of this, but proud of it"
This question has always been the crux of English football.
