Last night, Ye Qiu drank a lot of wine and chatted with Ferguson and Wenger for several hours, and they have reached a tacit understanding and agreement with each other, and he also believes that this agreement will also be recognized and affirmed by Liverpool and Chelsea.

Or rather, it's something that's good for any team.

After waking up the next morning, Ye Qiu casually ate some breakfast and drove to the Theobold training base.

Ye Qiu arrived at the gate of the Theobald training base, and the garden sprinkler had just completed the watering and cleaning of the road surface and the park area outside the gate, so the entire asphalt pavement was still wet.

The security guard was very professional, as soon as he saw Ye Qiu's car, he immediately came out of the security room, opened the electric door, and greeted Ye Qiu, "Good morning, Mr. Ye Qiu"

"Good morning, hard work" Ye Qiu politely said to the security guard in the car, nodded and drove in, when passing outside the Central Lake Park, Ye Qiu noticed that there were people in the youth training area, smiled, and parked the car outside the first team training building, and walked directly to the youth training area.

Next to the central park area is a separate two-storey building, which is where Tottenham Hotspur's scouting department is located, and the so-called scouting department is not a large number of scouts from all over the world, but a data and analysis center.

As early as the Eliza Moon period, Ye Qiu developed a set of Internet software through a company in the United States, and then equipped every agent and scout outside with a computer, and later changed it to Zeus mobile phone, and there will be a software or APp application in the mobile phone and computer.

When they find a player, or go to re-examine a player who has already been filed, they can directly enter their observations and reports, as well as the scores of various data through computers and mobile phones, and these data will be stored directly in the host computer of the scouting center, and analyzed by the analysis software of the host.

Once the team has needs, you can directly input the corresponding data from the host, and the host will automatically analyze the needs of the team, and recommend a squad, as well as detailed scouting reports and data of all players in the squad, if the team manager and coaching staff feel appropriate, and then arrange scouts to re-conduct a complete system inspection.

Of course, Tottenham Hotspur will also give scouts a lot of freedom, if the scout feels that the player is indeed full of talent and potential, he can submit a detailed report and application to the club, recommend the player to the team for a trial丨During the trial丨All expenses will be borne by the club.

Over the years, Eliza's scouting network has been well established, especially in South America, Africa and Europe, and now Tottenham Hotspur has borrowed this scouting network directly, and at the same time has improved the analytical capabilities of the scouting system, such as building a player analysis module that belongs to the technical and tactical style of the team.

Many people may find it a little unfamiliar, that is, how do European teams scout players?

This involves the analysis module, which is to make all the scouts know what type of player I want.

For example, Tottenham Hotspur attaches great importance to players with solid technical skills and creativity, so for example, stopping the ball, technical skills, imagination and other aspects are very important, these values will account for a large weight when the scouting system analyzes a player's score, and Ye Qiu attaches more importance to explosiveness, which is also very important.

To put it simply, PN Football Manager has indeed been as close to Tottenham Hotspur's scouting system as possible, the difference is that PN Football Manager's numerical examination of players is done through some fans, which is relatively unprofessional, and sometimes it is more impression-flow, while Tottenham Hotspur's player values will be more professional, and in order to avoid missing some potential hopes, Tottenham Hotspur will also adopt a more relaxed strategy.

But in the final analysis, the data can't reflect the tactical value of the player at all, so there is a very important section, that is, the scouting report, he will also analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the player, but it will be more detailed than the PN football manager, after all, it is a report given by computer AI, which cannot be compared with professional scouting, and sometimes Tottenham Hotspur's scouting report will even detail the player in which area and which situation is the best, when and in what environment the worst performance, And that's obviously something that can't be done with computer games.

Ye Qiu heard that Devisel's scouting report to central defender Alex reached an astonishing thickness of more than 40 pages, but Eindhoven did not have enough financial resources to sign Alex, and finally it was the agent Lemic through Pini Zahavi's relationship that let Abramovich sign Alex and then sublease it to Eindhoven, and this transfer was naturally recorded under Arneson.

"Hi, Peter" Ye Qiu walked into the youth training area, and now the training building of the youth team is still undergoing external decoration, so a dense steel frame is built outside, and Peter Devisel is in a daze at the steel frame.

As veterans like Bobby Harms, and both Dutch celebrities who have won the Michels Lifetime Achievement Award, both have a very interesting thing in common, that is, they are not famous, and they are both low-key.

If Ye Qiu is given a choice, he can have many excellent options, such as Javier Subirac, the former director of Valencia technology who is currently at home, this Valencia former star is equivalent to the role of the Bat Army in Sevilla, without him, it is difficult for Valencia to have the glory of the time before and after the century.

There is also the Sevilla profiteer Monchi who many fans talk about, but these two people are indeed very good at scouting networks and digging talents, but the problem is that they both have one problem, that is, they are too strong.

Subiratz is indeed very brilliant in Valencia, although he is not very well-known, but even Benitez, who was later picked up by him, has a relatively average relationship with him, because he likes to wade more, and will more or less limit the authority and prestige of the head coach.

Not to mention Monchi, there was a popular saying in Seville at that time, it doesn't matter who is missing, just can't be without Monchi, because his eyes are the biggest treasure trove in Seville.

For a team, coming to this point, Ye Qiu doesn't know whether it is a success or a failure for Sevilla.

There must also be, for example, Arsenal's Steve Lawley, Liverpool's Eduardo Marcia, are very good professionals, but these talents are either not poached, or easy to clash with the manager, such as Frank Arneson, although many of his deeds are the work of Peter De Visser, but there is no denying his network.

Peter Devisel is most valued and appreciated by Ye Qiu because of his low profile.

De Visser, who is a head coach, knows very well what the manager is most taboo about, so throughout his time at Eindhoven, he was very low-key and never involved in the team, he just silently selected and recommended talents according to the needs of the team.

As for the reason why he left Eindhoven, it has more or less something to do with Ye Qiu and Ajax

Since Ye Qiu entered Ajax, the Amsterdam team has been fully revived, even after Ye Qiu left, Van Basten, who took over, also ensured the continued glory of Ajax to the greatest extent, and suppressed the sworn enemy Eindhoven.

The results are not ideal, and the internal contradictions naturally appear step by step, especially as the team's veteran ministers Devisel, technical director Valax, and the new club general manager Lake has a very strong conflict, and a very important factor in Lake's dissatisfaction with them is Alex

He thinks that Alex is in Eindhoven, which is not the slightest benefit to Eindhoven, because he belongs to Chelsea, and Eindhoven has completely become Chelsea's processing plant, which is not what he wants to see, and the technical director Valex has a close relationship with the agent Lemic, and Lemic trusts De Visel's vision very much, so he began to keep some players excavated by De Visel to be operated by Lemic and sent to Eindhoven, such as Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez.

It is said that so far, there are 7 players in the PSV Eindhoven team who belong to Lemić, coupled with the relationship of technical director Valex, which makes Lake feel threatened, and after the showdown, the club's board of directors supported Lake, because they also want to break this pattern of interests, so in the end, Valex stepped down, and Lemich was also contained.

Although De Visser was not directly involved, because he was the head of the team's scouting department and was directly managed by the technical director, he was naturally classified as Valax.

In this case, Ye Qiu found the Amsterdammer through the relationship between Eliza Moon and Bobby Harms, and successfully persuaded him to come to London, and Devisel also fell in love with the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur, which is obviously a bigger and broader development space and platform than Eindhoven, so he came to London

De Visser was a silver-haired, somewhat thin old Dutchman, with a pair of glasses, who looked weak, but gave the impression of being very knowledgeable, and he spoke very softly, typical of Sven.

Such people are not common in the management of football clubs, because football has always admired blood, even if it is management, almost all of them are that kind of majestic and strong men, and it is relatively rare for weak scholars, so it seems a bit different.

Although it has been decided not to renew Eindhoven's contract, and Eindhoven has also agreed to let Peter De Visser leave, Peter De Visser is still under contract for the time being, and he will not be able to officially enter the management of Tottenham Hotspur until July, but Ye Qiu has already let him enter the team in advance and attended some important meetings

"How do you feel about here?" Ye Qiu walked to Devisel's side with a smile and asked.

"Very good," Devisel smiled softly, but added, "The environment is good." ”

Ye Qiu also smiled after hearing this, "It's just that the environment is good and useless, I hope that in a few years, everyone will smell a smell of Tottenham Hotspur football when they walk in, and that is really good."

De Visser knows what Ye Qiu means, they are all from the Netherlands, Ye Qiu is from Ajax, and they obviously have a deeper understanding of the shaping of youth training and culture than others.

"I found that there are a lot of small courts in the youth training camp, it seems that you are planning to promote small field youth training in the youth team, is that so?" De Visserl had apparently walked around and noticed the youth team's training grounds.

In fact, it is not only the training ground of the youth team, the first team also has its own small outdoor training ground, Ye Qiu even built an indoor football stadium, which is all small indoor football fields, so that the players of the first team and the youth team can play and train in it casually

Ye Qiu nodded, "Unlike small-field youth training, which is already popular in the European continent, the Premier League, even in Manchester United and Arsenal, generally adopts standard field youth training丨Because they think that this can accumulate and exercise the players' physique and running ability from a young age." ”

There has always been a serious debate in England about the advantages and disadvantages of large and small venues, some people believe that from the perspective of football skills, small fields are more about advocating small technical details, while large fields are closer to actual combat, and can exercise the players' physique from an early age, so that they can better adapt to the style of the Premier League and English football.

However, there are also some who believe that Europe's top youth academy players are playing small pitches, because small pitches pay more attention to the details of players' technical skills, and can also cultivate the technical use of players when encountering pressing and tight areas.

This kind of controversy has been going on for several years in the past, England is not not paying attention to youth training, but it is very fucked up in the debate between a small field and a large field for many years, and no one is willing to invest money, after all, the FA in charge of youth training is itself difficult to protect, where is the money?

Ye Qiu does not have any position on the debate between small and large venues, there is no difference between small venues and large venues, and they cannot be killed with one shot, but it depends on the situation, for example, at what age it is better to use a small field and what age group is good to use a large field, which already has a clear concept in Ajax.

As for the training of basic technical details, whether it is a small venue or a large venue, it is very important and can be guaranteed.

"A small field has the advantages of a small field, and a large field also has the advantage of a large field, but I think the most important thing for the youth training of players lies in three aspects, the reasonable and skillful use of basic skills, the stimulation of players' creative thinking, and the cultivation of players' sense of space."

The former has achieved a broad consensus, and even the English are well aware that the skills will receive more and more attention, so the skills of the strengthening youth training players have also received widespread attention.

As for the creative thinking of players, this is also what many teams value, such as Manchester United and Arsenal, they attach great importance to this aspect of development, so unlike other teams in England that focus on hard work, they take a more liberal approach to youth training to develop players' creative way of playing.

But Ye Qiu feels that the biggest problem for English players is the sense of space, or the presence of the game.

For example, anyone who has ever played a ball may encounter a situation where when the ball is far away from you, you may not feel it, you may not even have any consciousness, you don't know what you can do, and then all of a sudden, when you realize the ball, the ball is suddenly coming at you, and then you feel in a hurry, and you may even be at a loss.

In this case, there is a serious lack of space, or a sense of presence, because during that period of his trance, he lacks enough awareness to be involved in the game.

If it's in an amateur game, it's very common, but it can be in the top league, and it's not allowed, because in the top league, almost every minute and every second of a game changes suddenly, if you can't deal with sudden changes anytime and anywhere, you can't give early warning, and when the ball or opportunity comes, you're at a loss, then you're going to be a huge loss to the team.

If it's an attacker, it causes the team to miss a good chance, while if it's a defender, it causes the team to concede a goal.

Why does the Premier League infringe on the opponent's fouls? Why is the Premier League a wider foul scale? Or even tragic incidents that often hurt people?

In the final analysis, no one will deliberately violate and hurt each other, because everyone is a professional player, and cases like Keane's are relatively special, and more people have the idea of wanting to play their strength and level well.

But the problem is that when you lack the presence of the game, when the opportunity suddenly appears, everyone will subconsciously make some more dangerous reflex actions, just like someone knocks on your knee joint with a hammer, you will reflexively kick a kick, even if you don't want to kick him psychologically, but you will still kick, because you can't control it.

The scariest thing about any professional player is that they can't control their body and mind.

Some people say that the most important thing in football is skills, but Ye Qiu thinks not, because skills can be practiced, in the early years, and in adulthood, these are projects that practice makes perfect, it's just a matter of how fast and slow the progress is.

The body can also be practiced, especially in the current situation where the training is so scientific, it is no longer strange to train the body scientifically, so the body is not important for youth training.

The most important thing is awareness, especially the presence of the game.

So this time, Ye Qiu analyzed and discussed with a number of Ajax youth training experts, including Bobby Harms and Ricklink, and decided to slowly transform from small-field youth training to large-field youth training, and some training programs not only rely on Mulensteen and Moniz's science and technology youth training program, but also appropriately strengthen the training of young people to cope with complex scenes and environments

In the final analysis, when you encounter a lot of complex scenes, when you have been used to dealing with those emergencies since you were a child, and when you step on the football field in the future, you will not be chaotic and will not feel at a loss.

Of course, there is also a very important thing is to play more high-level games, which is also the result of Ye Qiu's discussion with Wenger, Ferguson and others yesterday, that is, it is proposed to organize more youth team games.

Peter Devisel listened to Ye Qiu's analysis, and the two also walked from the training building to the training ground of the youth team, which has been divided into areas and is ready to be used to prepare for the training ground of the youth team and cover the turf.

The Dutchman sighed with emotion in his heart, because even though he thought Tottenham Hotspur had great potential before, but after coming to this club and this training base, he felt that he still underestimated Ye Qiu and the entire team behind him.

And this realization also made him more convinced that the future of Tottenham Hotspur is bright

"By the way, Peter" Ye Qiu didn't notice Devisel's exclamation, "Do you have time?" Let's go see a game tomorrow."
