"Why did you suddenly think to go to them?"

On the plane from Manchester to Eindhoven, Kassel stared at Xiao Yu sitting across from him with some strange eyes.

Just yesterday, Xiao Yu suddenly called him and asked him if he knew René Muhrensteen and Ricardo Moniz, Cassel naturally knew him, when he was assisting Eric Harrison in Manchester United's academy, he had been to the Netherlands many times to meet Gufren, and Moniz and Mulenstin also often studied and discussed with Gufren, so they often met.

Speaking of this Gu Furen, Xiao Yu remembered a piece of history.

In the Netherlands, there are two schools of thought for young players, led by Michels and Cruyff, who pioneered the all-attacking and defensive approach, who stubbornly insist that players are born with skill and that their positioning, formation, tactics, awareness and team spirit should be trained from an early age.

Due to the success of the all-attacking and defensive team, combined with the status of Cruyff and Michels in Dutch football, their set of elements is admired and sacred by the Dutch.

However, there is another person in the Netherlands, who has created a set of player training system, which is based on technology, and believes that young players should first master the skills as the most important task, and should first tap the technical potential of the players, and wait until the skills are finalized before they begin to instill tactical concepts, and this person is Guferen.

Because of his very different philosophy from Cruyff and Michels, Guferen's training methods were considered heretical in the Netherlands, and he was not even allowed to run a football school in the Netherlands.

However, with the rapid development of football, the concept of technical flow began to be accepted, and now all clubs and national youth training is basically based on tapping technical potential, and tactical concepts and physical fitness are generally not involved until about 15-18 years old, which is an evolution of Gufren's training system.

Riccardo Moniz is one of Guferen's two best pupils, the other being Muhrenstin, who knows Manchester United in his previous life, and who will join Old Trafford this summer to help Alex Ferguson coach the youth team.

Moniz is more low-key than Murensteen, he has played for Feyenoord, PSV Eindhoven, Tottenham, Hamburg and other teams, among which during his time in the Netherlands, he trained future well-known stars such as Cenden, Robben, Van Persie, etc., and later went to Tottenham, and many coaches followed him to learn training methods and theories.

However, he has never had the same experience in the big club as Mulensteen, but he is another admirer of Gufren, Ten Carter, when he entered Barcelona to assist Rijkaard, he repeatedly admired Gufren in public, and he is also considered to be the catalyst for Barcelona's technical flow.

When Xiao Yu used to play FM, Moniz and Mulenstin were the two coaches with the best technical training in his memory, so he specially checked their information and found this history.

And he originally just thought that Muhrensteen was valued by Ferguson and introduced to Manchester United's academy, maybe Cassel knew, but who knew that after asking, he found that not only did he know, but the relationship seemed to be good.

Moniz is now coaching PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, while Murenstin is coaching the youth team at NEC FC in the Netherlands, and it is clear that Ferguson has not yet thought about finding an academy assistant, so he has not yet set his eye on Murensting.

"Why don't you speak, why do you suddenly want to go to them?" Cassel asked urgically.

Xiao Yu smiled, "I want to find you two assistants, I know they are very experienced in the field of youth training, and they also have a unique training method, I hope to introduce them to the new Manchester United academy and help you deal with the academy, so that you can have more time to do other things, you are our youth training director, you can't do everything yourself!" ”

Kassel was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Yu with some emotion, who turned his head to look at his side unknowingly, he was now thinking that Frank Arnesson, who was later poached by Chelsea and known as the first scout, is currently in Eindhoven, and should go to meet him if he can.

However, as soon as this thought came up, Xiao Yu quickly suppressed it again, he felt that Arneson was undoubtedly a little capable, but he was too ambitious, and even always interfered with the head coach, which Xiao Yu did not allow, and the scouting network he was best at, in Xiao Yu's opinion, was not very good.

Arsenal without Arneson has spread the scouting network all over the world, and the young stars unearthed are more accurate than one another, which shows that the person who hosts the scouting network is important, but the construction of the scouting network is also important.

Kassel's eye for people is still very good, plus he is also very familiar with the construction of the current team tactical system of the new Manchester United, and he is in charge of the scouting network of the new Manchester United, I dare not say that he can pick out Ronaldo, but at least he can pick out some players who are suitable for the tactics of the new Manchester United, which is enough.

As Xiao Yu said before, no club can include all the football talents in the world!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu completely broke up the idea of visiting Arneson, and after getting off the plane, he went directly to Moniz's house with Kassel.

Since they had spoken by phone in advance, when Xiao Yu and the others arrived, Moniz was waiting at home.

The first impression of this curly-haired Dutchman on Xiao Yu was that he was bitter, and his brows were always furrowed deeply, as if he would never have troubles that could not be resolved.

"Hehe, Jim, what's blowing you!" When they saw Xiao Yu and the others, Moniz greeted them from home with a smile.

Even when he was welcoming guests, he still gave the impression of sadness.

"I'm here to visit you, Ricciardo," Cassel smiled and greeted him politely, then introduced Xiao Yu, "This is the owner of the new Manchester United, Mr. Xiao Yu!" ”

"New Manchester United?" Moniz's brow furrowed even deeper, "I've heard of your team, a very good team, by the way, Jim, are you working at New Manchester United right now?" ”

Cassel shrugged his shoulders and nodded helplessly: "It's been two years, Ricciardo, I don't really like the current atmosphere of Manchester United, so I choose to leave." ”

Moniz seemed to feel the same way, patted Cassel on the shoulder comfortingly, and the three of them walked into his house side by side.

It's a three-storey building in a neighborhood with a small courtyard and an old sedan parked inside, and apparently Moniz doesn't get a high salary in Eindhoven, so he's barely a middle-class person.

Moniz and Kassel are both very pure football people, don't look at Moniz is less than 40 years old, but he has been engaged in football for more than ten years, especially in the field of football training, in addition to inheriting the essence of Guferen's training system, but also in the practice of many years of continuous improvement and strengthening.

As soon as the three of them entered the living room, Moniz was the first to talk about something, but soon moved on to football.

The topic discussed between Moniz and Cassel is nothing more than football training, which is their strength, and from these conversations, Xiao Yu can clearly know Moniz's training philosophy.

He believes that when training young players, it is more important to cultivate their interests, encourage them to play freely, and then train their dribbling, ball surname, ball sense and individual combat ability, and in these special training programs, he believes that the ball surname and ball sense are the most important.

This reminds Xiao Yu of Ronaldinho, the Brazilian superstar plays like juggling, everyone evaluates him a little, the ball sense is super strong, and it is precisely because of the strong ball sense that Ronaldinho's technical ability is very good.

A bit like later generations learning English, some people just rely on rote memorization of those words and dialogues, while others focus on developing a sense of language, which proves that the latter is more conducive to mastering a foreign language.

Obviously, in football, the same is true.

Moniz believes that from 5 to 18 years old, there should be a complete set of training technology planning, of course, he does not deny that there are geniuses in football, such as Cruyff, but he believes that professional training is the key to stimulating the potential of geniuses, without training, geniuses cannot become geniuses.

At this time, Moniz mentioned Beckham, he believes that Beckham's talent in football is actually not high, but he can become one of the best midfielders in today's football, relying on his continuous training, and what he admires most is Beckham's ball sense, the kind of long pass transfer of more than 35 meters, without a super ball sense can not be passed.

And Beckham's sense of the ball is undoubtedly not innate, it is constantly honed by hard work.

And his free-kicks!

As soon as the two friends who reunited after a long absence, they couldn't stop talking.

Xiao Yu listened to it with relish, he felt that through the conversation between the two, he had a further understanding of the training of the academy, and he was even thinking that Moniz's training method should not only be limited to the academy, but also the senior team could also participate, but the proportion was different.

Moniz has been immersed in the training system for many years, and his insights are naturally not comparable to a layman like Xiao Yu, which has greatly opened Xiao Yu's eyes, and you must know that the person in front of him is one of the staff members that Xiao Yu used to play games to.

By the time they were done, nearly an hour had passed.

"It seems that you should also be a person who likes football very much!" Moniz said with a smile when he saw Xiao Yu listening to it with relish.

Xiao Yu shook his head modestly, he felt that his understanding of football really couldn't be compared with professionals, and Cassel kept nodding his head, telling Moniz about Xiao Yu's past deeds, and at the same time talking about the reasons for the establishment and development of New Manchester United.

In fact, it is impossible for Moniz, who is in the football circle, not to know about these, but he feels that Xiao Yu can be so respected by Kassel, and he is immediately impressed by him in his heart.

There are many rich bosses in the football industry now, and there are some bosses who are rich and willing to invest in football, but there are very few bosses who are rich and willing to invest in football, and at the same time have a deep affection for football, and know football very well.

And Xiao Yu's fan background makes Moniz identify with him even more.

"Mr. Moniz, I would like to know, would you be interested in coming to our club as technical director?" Xiao Yu smiled and sent out an invitation
