Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and other amazing talents have a very obvious feature in their European success experience, that is, they have all played in Europe's second-class leagues. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Some people may say that this is just a coincidence, after all, there are still many stars who have not played in the second-rate league, but have directly joined the giants and achieved success, such as Kaka, but Xiao Yu feels that it is not a coincidence.

This is a topic worth digging into.

It is true that the league level of Brazil and Argentina is not inferior to that of the Netherlands, Portugal, or even France, but the level is not low, but it does not mean that players in the Brazilian and Argentine leagues can perform well if they transfer directly to Europe.

Is it because La Liga is much, much higher than the Brazilian league?

Definitely not!

It's just that even La Liga, which is praised by fans as the most unrestrained and the most offensive league, their emphasis on defense and the execution of tactics are higher than those of the Brazilian league, and La Liga is like this, let alone the Premier League and Serie A.

If we look at the league, the European professional leagues are more tactical, while the South American professional leagues are more advocating individual performance, so if South American players want to transfer to Europe, they must reduce the previous style of playing alone, increase the sense of teamwork, and the understanding and execution of tactics.

Therefore, in addition to a few players with high tactical literacy such as Kaka and Rivaldo, Brazilian players generally need an adaptation process to transfer to Europe, Argentine players are strong in tactics, but it also takes a while, and this period of time is different according to the player, everyone is different, some for a month, some for a year, and some can never adapt.

In Xiao Yu's view, the best way for South American and African players to transfer to Europe is for them to play in the second-level league first, adapt to the European style, improve their tactical literacy, and then transfer to a higher-level league or join a giant.

And the current youth training program of the Red Rebels is carried out according to this model!

…………………… As early as the period when Xiao Yu was in power, the club has been focusing on these new stars for many years, and scouts have frequently contacted these players and their agents, and both sides have had good communication and trust each other, and Pato has even received funding from the club for surgery before.

The Red Rebels have accepted the Red Rebels' proposal to send them on loan to the Netherlands, Portugal and Belgium leagues for training, and the club also wants to bring him in and loan him out because Benfica also needs a substitute striker, but the player asked for a transfer to stay in the Red Rebels' first team, and finally the club gave up the current introduction of Higuain, after all, it is better to let him stay in River Plate than to play in the Red Rebels.

In addition, like Mesut Ozil, the versatile frontcourt player that Xiao Yu also admires, also for the same reason, the club admitted that they could not give him first-team guarantees, after all, the current team is very neat, there is really no place for Mesut Ozil, so he did not move to the Red Rebels in the end.

After understanding the plan of the scouting department, Xiao Yu pondered for a long time, and finally he had to admit that his previous ideas were too naïve, and if he wanted to be a wealthy family, in addition to having the bearing and demeanor of a wealthy family, he must also have the calmness and rationality behind it.

Blindly talking about human feelings, blindly trying to have a good relationship in all aspects, in the end, will only bring endless troubles to yourself and the team, because professional football itself is vanity fair, you can't change it, you can only adapt!

The Red Rebels are doing well enough at the moment!

As Xiao Yu once said, it is impossible for the team to keep every player, because there is no transfer team, and the team that always maintains the same group of people is like a pool of stagnant water, which will lose its vitality after a long time, and what the Red Rebels can do is to help every player as much as possible and put themselves in the shoes of the players.

As long as the club is genuine, then the players will be able to feel it, so that even if they leave the team in the future and become the enemy of the Red Rebels on the pitch in the future, they will definitely miss it and will never forget that they played for such a team.

This is rare in today's realistic professional football!

And this is why, even though the Red Rebels have sold a lot of players and bought a lot of players in recent years, including stars such as Ribery and Lahm who have not been able to establish the main position, the players have not made much transfers, and there has never been a player who has broken up with the club.

Of course, there is another reason for this phenomenon, which is that the Red Rebels are never overly dependent on a single star, and the club's tactics are more holistic, so Palacio can go, Colo? Toure can also go, and maybe there will be more key players in the future, but the Red Rebels will always be the same Red Rebels!

…………………… In the conversation with Boas, Xiao Yu told him to take care of the emotions of the loan players and do his best to help them improve, after all, Xiao Yu does not want these players to be unable to reach the heights of their previous lives because of their transfer to the Red Rebels.

In addition, Boyas also reported to Xiao Yu on another big move in the Red Rebels' youth training system.

'We have agreed with teams including Manchester United, Liverpool, Everton, Manchester City, Blackburn, Arsenal, Chelsea and the first Premier League training camp will take place in July, so we have already confirmed places for each age group.

Xiao Yu saw a lot of familiar names from this list, including Walcott, Rodwell, Wilshere, Davide? Thornton, Aron? The likes of Ramsey, Fabio, Rafael, Nimar and Romelu Lukaku are among the best in the Red Rebels' academy, along with a dozen other talented young talents.

It can be said that among the young players in the 12-16 group, because they have been trained by Moniz and Mulenstin since childhood, they are very good in terms of technology, and they have been trained in the club's off-ball running system since childhood, so this group of players is a complete Red Rebels youth product.

After years of youth training, the Red Rebels finally ushered in the harvest season.

Unfortunately, only a handful of players in this age group will be able to establish themselves in the first team in the future, as the Red Rebels are very competitive in the first team.

In fact, even the competition for the youth team is fierce, especially in the competition for places in the training camp, and it is definitely the best stars in the academy who will go to the training camp on behalf of the Red Rebels, communicate and play against other Premier League teams, and train together.

Why do successful young players always come together? For example, Manchester United's 92 class, such as Real Madrid's 5 eagles, such as West Ham United's 4 masters, and later Barcelona's Xavi, Puyol, Iniesta, Messi and a group of people all appeared in groups, why?

The reason is simple, competition!

Some people may say that players compete at a young age and that they don't taste the joy of football, but in reality, competition is what keeps players going, and when they see their peers improving, they keep trying to improve.

Only when spurred on by enough competition will talented players emerge in droves!

Therefore, Xiao Yu has a very clear attitude towards the first team and youth team of the Red Rebels, that is, he is never afraid of competition, and can even be said to encourage competition, so it can be seen that there are all kinds of competitions within the Red Rebels, such as indoor football leagues, such as 3-on-3 small regional competitions and so on.

And all this gave the Red Rebels a taste of sweetness in both the first team and the youth team.

It is precisely because competition is encouraged that the Red Rebels have previously proposed to organise a training camp every once in a while to bring together the best young players from the Premier League clubs to play and train together, so that these young players can train and compete together.

This proposal has been affirmed by the Premier League and the FA, as France has also adopted this model and it has been successful.

According to Xiao Yu's idea, the Premier League team will set an example for the time being, and once there are achievements, the elite training model of the training camp can be further promoted, and then spread throughout England and even the United Kingdom.

As the Red Rebels who are the leaders of England's youth training, Xiao Yu stood on a higher step and naturally saw farther.

This season, he has increased his investment in the Academy, and in addition to participating in a number of competitions such as the Youth League and the FA Cup, the young players will also travel to France, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal and other regions at the right time to play against their local peers.

In addition to improving the playing experience of youth team players, it also allows them to see how their peers are in foreign countries, helping them improve and broaden their horizons.

Although this will further increase the investment in the academy, Xiao Yu has decided to continue the program, and the first targets selected this season are the Netherlands and Spain, where the players will travel for two weeks of exchange training and visiting matches between matches.

This is also an example for the Red Rebels to set for other teams in England, and if successful, I believe more English clubs will follow suit.

In addition to the Academy, the Red Rebels have submitted a report on improving the reserve team format, which includes the abolition of the North and South divisions, so that the number of reserve games can be doubled to 36 in a year, although the corresponding expenses of the club are also larger, but compared to the income of the Premier League teams.

In addition, at the Premier League summit before, many clubs raised the problem of lack of youth coaches, and Xiao Yu also communicated with the FA afterwards, feeling that England does have a huge lack of youth coaches, which is also a major reason for the progress of youth training in England.

At present, there are only 2,800 coaches in England who have UEFA certification qualifications, but in Spain, this figure has reached 24,000, compared to England's serious lack of coaching resources.

After returning to the team, Xiao Yu immediately discussed with Moniz and Mulenstin, and finally decided to open a youth coach training academy in Manchester in the name of the club, inviting world-renowned youth experts to teach, including Erik, who trained Manchester United's class of 92? Harrison, as well as Liverpool's youth director Heivey, who has cultivated stars such as Gerrard, Owen and McManaman, among which Moniz, Mulenstin, Kassel and others of the Red Rebels are also on the list of instructors.

This has attracted a lot of attention in English football, especially the success of the Red Rebels' academy, which has made countless teams scramble, coupled with the low cost of training, countless football practitioners have signed up to participate.

The Times was the first to react and published this feature, saying that the Red Rebels' approach is worth advocating, especially since the club has put forward a series of reform proposals for the current situation of English football, which makes people feel admired, this is a football club with a high sense of social responsibility.

"Our starting point is selfish, and the reason why we don't hesitate to open up our youth experience to the outside world is because we know very well that only when the youth training in England improves, and the level of football in the league and the country improves, can our club get the most benefit and development." Xiao Yu explained with a smile in an interview with the media.

But the front page headline of The Times is "Selfish and Alselfless", they believe that whether the Red Rebels are really what Xiao Yu said or not, but in the end, they have brought more to English football, and the impact is more than they can imagine!

'From youth reform, to the redistribution of league benefits, to coach training today, almost every move that the Red Rebels have made has hit the flaws of English football, and we are looking forward to what they will bring to us next time.

But media interest in the Red Rebels didn't last long, and they were soon drawn in by Manchester City's impressive transfers.

At the end of the day, buying stars is always more direct and conspicuous than cultivating youth training!
