"Hey, run, run, run, quick, quick!"

At Southampton's Staupwood training ground, Louis Borini's voice was habitually heard.

After three rounds of Premier League matches, it enters a two-week international break.

Don't look at Southampton as an upstart in the Premier League, but there are not many internationals in the team, and all of them are the main core level players of their national team.

The two goalkeepers in the team, Neuer is Germany's undisputed No. 1 goalkeeper, and Cesar, although he is Neuer's replacement in Southampton, still firmly holds the No. 1 position in the Brazilian national team.

The No. 1 national goal of the two world's strongest teams actually competed for a main goalkeeper position in Southampton, which directly made a large number of European teams envious, jealous and hateful, but no one was willing to poach.

Cesar is old and no one cares, and Neuer is the captain of Southampton, who can dig it?

At the back, Xavi Martinez is already a regular for the Spanish national team, Raphael Varane is the main player of the French national team, and Nastasic is also the backbone of Serbia's defense.

Only Laporte, as the core of the French national youth team, was just transferred to play in the European Youth Championship in July, so he stayed in the team for the time being to continue training, and did not have the task of playing for the national team.

There are fewer full-backs, Cesar Azpilicueta has no place in the Spanish national team, Danilo and Alex Sandro have not been selected for the Brazilian national team, and only David Alaba has a national team role.

The midfield, on the other hand, has been the hardest hit by internationals, with Paul Pogba, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Nemanja Matic, James Rodriguez and Mateo Kovacic all playing for the national team, leaving only one Kaka in the squad.

The same can be said up front, with the likes of Luis Suarez, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Didier Drogba, Sturridge, Eden Hazard, Ravel Morrison and Alexis Sanchez all playing for the national team.

As a result, the entire Staupwood first team was almost emptied.

Therefore, in order to maintain the training on weekdays, Bielsa had to send a group of young players from the youth team to the first team to train with the players who stayed in the first team.

At this moment, on the training ground, Luis Borini is leading this group of mixed players in training.

Don't look at it as a mixed combination, but the training volume still maintains the original intensity, and there is no relaxation at all.

Luis Borini's loud voice was constantly shouting on the training ground.

"Hey, Yuri, pay attention to your position, location, location!"

"Patrick, pass him, be brave, pass him one-on-one, you have the ability!"

"And you, Adnan, keep your head up, I've told you many times, keep your head up and observe!"

"Tyn, don't stick to the ball too much, you're a centre-back, not a midfielder!"

……

Yang Huan had just arrived at Staupwood after signing Oscars with Horabuchin and Bertolucci at St Mary's Stadium, and he happened to hear Luis Borini's loud shouts, so he came to the sidelines of the training ground.

"Yo, they're all a bunch of young people!" Yang looked at it happily.

Don't look at Southampton's group of young people, but they have a lot of work under their feet.

In last season's UEFA Youth Champions League, the Saints' youth team reached the semi-finals and performed quite well.

But in the end, it was Chelsea who won the title.

Although Yang Huan is very uninterested in Abramovich, he also has to admit that the Blues' youth training is indeed quite good, and the quality of the players is also quite high, but it is not good in some aspects.

For example, most of Chelsea's youth team comes from poaching, and as long as they perform well, they will invest heavily in players, but some of these players are often more precocious in body but relatively weak in skill and awareness.

That's very problematic!

Because the physical advantage may be obvious in the game of his peers, but in the senior first team, it becomes a disadvantage, and if the skill and awareness are not enough, then the player is considered useless.

For example, in the past few years, the Blues' Academy has been hyped by the media, but none of them have been played.

Another important point, is the youth team and the first team? The promotion channel is blocked!

Chelsea have changed managers over the past few seasons, with manager managers changing and the style of the team changing again and again, making it difficult for players who have been produced in the youth team to get a chance in the first team.

For example, Moses, who was reused by Benitez last season, has been thrown away by Mourinho this season.

Southampton is different, the club has a scientific and reasonable evaluation mechanism, not only to examine the player's performance, but also to evaluate the physical, technical, conscious, personality and mental will, so that the club will have a comprehensive understanding of each player's physical and mental condition.

After entering Staupwood, the club has also poured heart and energy into every young player, not only to play football, but also to include cultural courses, including organizing some social practice activities and so on.

Relatively speaking, Southampton's youth training model will generally be more difficult to produce results in the youth team, because the physical aspect is more disadvantageous, but when the players are ten years old and start physical training, they will gradually improve their competitiveness.

At that point, the technical and ideological advantages will be immediately apparent.

This is also Yang Huan's positioning for youth training, that is, no results, focus on cultivating talents!

Standing on the sidelines, you can see from time to time that the little saints on the court will have a dazzling and wonderful performance.

Adnan Januzaj, for example, has already made his debut in the first team, Bielsa is also very fond of this talented player, and the club has spared no effort in developing him.

There is also Youri Tielemans, who is of African descent, sits in midfield and has good physical fitness, but he is also quite fine at the feet, and he is also quite good at the big picture, organization and passing ability, and is the heart of the midfield of the youth team.

Patrick Roberts, England's homegrown wide talent, is fast, skilled at his feet and particularly eye-catching one-on-one, and he has averaged five successful dribbles per game in the UEFA Youth Champions League, which is not fake.

There are also people like Tine Jedwai, a Croatian central defender, but with footwork and skills that are not inferior to those of midfielders, the core of the youth team's defense, and is known as another talented central defender from the Saints academy.

The other is James Ward Prowse, another England midfielder who is only 18 years old, but he has already made a name for himself in England, and many see him as Beckham's successor, because he has a free-kick footwork comparable to Beckham's arc.

As an England midfielder, Prowse is hardworking and active, with excellent running ability, excellent footwork, and particularly outstanding passing ability, whether it is a tandem and long and short pass in the middle of the midfield, or a cross to the wing, he does quite well.

The bigger weakness is that his physical condition is relatively average, and his defense is also weak, but considering that he is only 18 years old, many people are optimistic that Prowse can become a midfielder in the Southampton team in the future.

As for the academy youngsters such as Luke Shaw, Chambers and Kovacic, who have already made their debuts in the first team and can consistently get double-digit appearances, they have long been talked about by fans.

The youth team and the reserve team are full of talent, and further down, there is also no shortage of talented young players from the UK and around the world, some of whom are dug up by the Saints' scouts, and some of whom are actively admired.

Yang Huan stood on the sidelines, quietly watching the training of the players on the field, he was very proud of Southampton's ability to develop players, and he firmly believed that this would become the most valuable asset of the Saints.

But gradually, he saw something very strange to him.

In one attack, the team wearing the yellow vests put the ball in the hands of Kaka, who spotted the opportunity, took the ball and started it.

The midfielder of the Red Vests is Yuri Tielemans, and the close defender of Kaka is Prowse, but both players are obviously concerned that Kaka has just joined the team and has just returned from injury, so they dare not move too much when defending, for fear of accidentally injuring Kaka.

However, Kaka managed to get rid of it and then crossed low to Andres Pereira in front, who easily got rid of Yedwai and scored with a push.

This angered the head assistant coach Luis Borini, who was standing in the middle of the training ground, and blew the whistle on the spot, suspended training and called both Prowse and Tielemans over.

"What's going on? Don't you even know how to defend? Why did Kaka pass through your zone so easily? Have you forgotten all the things I told you before? ”

"Tell me!" Luis Borini asked, almost snarling.

Yang Huan also shook his head from the sidelines, this Louis Borini is a lot older, but he can roar people, but he has the posture of Ferguson's hair dryer, no wonder Bielsa even handed over the mobilization of the locker room to him.

The two youngsters were also stunned by Borini's yelling, obviously wondering, what did they do wrong?

Do you have to step up your movements?

So what if I hurt Kaka?

Kaka was on the sidelines, and after listening to Borini's roar, he walked over, "Luis, I think, they're worried about me getting hurt!" ”

Who knows, Luis Borini looked at Kaka and asked, "What about you?" Do you think you're going to get hurt? ”

Kaka was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"With the defensive attitude of the two of them just now, if you are more resolute and move harder, you can completely rely on yourself to break through and even score goals, but why don't you dare?"

Kaka and the people around him obviously didn't expect that Luis Borini's eyes were so sharp that they noticed even such tiny details.

But Luis Borini clearly did not intend to give them a chance to refute and justify.

"You three, practice more after training, this is punishment!"

With that, Luis Borini waved his hand, and the three returned to the court, and training began again.

Yang Huan and the others were a little stunned when they watched on the sidelines.

"This Kaka's body, we all know it, will we get injured again after training at such an intensity?" Pini Zahavi is really worried.

In the past few years, Kaka has spent time in constant injuries, always after returning from injury, slowly finding his form, and finally finding his form, playing one or two games, and getting injured again.

In such a cycle, Kaka has hardly performed well at Real Madrid, except for the occasional flash.

To be honest, Yang Huan was also quite worried, but he didn't know anything about these at all.

It's just that he also feels that this Kaka has just returned from injury, and he really shouldn't accept such high-intensity training.

At the very least, you have to let the family take good care of it and find the state!

Especially when Yang Huan was on the sidelines, he saw that on the court, Prowse and Tielemans and others obviously increased their defensive efforts and actions, and even once because they didn't catch up, they shoveled Kaka on their backs, and he was shocked on the sidelines.

It seems that we have to find a chance to talk to them!

But don't waste Kaka, the former World Footballer of the Year!
