Chapter 471: Learning from the Good Example of the Saints


"Really" With the conversation just now, David Bernstein is now extremely convinced of Master Huan.

"Master Huan, please tell me" Yang Huan looked at his excited expression and knew what he was doing.

In fact, this guy is also a fan of officialdom, and although the Football Association is not as rich as the Premier League, it is not bad.

More importantly, football has a very high status in the UK.

He occupies the position of chairman of the FA.

At first glance, it may not seem like much, but in fact, the benefits secretly are considerable.

"It's very simple, just draw a big pie."

"Drawing a pie" David Bernstein was stunned.

Prince William is also a little stupid.

What does football have to do with pie making?

Master Huan chuckled, "To put it simply, you design a complete set of detailed 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."

When David Bernstein heard this, his eyes lit up.

Yes, who can't draw a pie?

Reforming the FA's internal management system has been a slogan that has been shouted for many years.

Almost everyone feels that it is necessary, but they are unable to push it forward due to some resistance.

But if I push hard and implement it during my term, won’t I be able to meet everyone’s expectations?

Besides, how will the internal management system be reformed, and how will people outside know about it?

But soon, he noticed a problem again.

"Master Huan, I have two questions."

Yang Huan nodded.

It is normal to have problems.

If there are no problems, reform something.

"Tell me and listen."

"The first thing is that this comprehensive football reform plan is not easy to implement."

David Bernstein said with a grimace, "To tell you the truth, the government and the Football Association made up their minds to promote the reform of youth training probably in the year 2000.

For this purpose, we even spent thousands of dollars in 2001 10,000 pounds to build the St.

George Youth Training Center with first-class hardware.”

It's okay if he didn't say it.

When he mentioned the St.

George Youth Training Center, Yang Huan smiled.

This stupid youth training center was originally regarded as the Clarefontaine of the UK, but it turned out that it took more than ten years to build, and the investment was getting higher and higher.

It is now more than 100 million pounds, and it is planned to be completed by the Olympic Games.

Optional activation later.

England and Germany launched youth training reforms at almost the same time.

Germany has cultivated a large number of talented rookies such as Ozil, Gotze, Thomas Muller and Toni Kroos.

Your youth training center in the UK is still in your mother's womb.

You Tell me how cheating it is Of course, a very important reason is that there is no money Hearing Master Huan's laughter, both David Bernstein and Prince William felt ashamed.

But is there any way to make our family poor?

"In the past few years, we have visited many countries with excellent youth training abroad, such as France, Germany, and Spain, but we have never been able to come up with a specific youth training reform plan."

"The main reason is that we have our special football environment."

Yang Huan strongly agrees with this point.

Many English fans say that directly copying Germany and Spain is a hooliganism.

Is the football environment and social environment in England the same as that in Germany and Spain?

Furthermore, the biggest feature of the Premier League is fast pace and high intensity.

If you use the youth training methods of Germany and Spain, well, suppose you really cultivate players with excellent skills, but the Premier League teams will use ?

Just like Joe Cole, he is very skilled, right?

He was known as England's Zidane back then.

Can it be used by Chelsea?

The problem still lies in the overall environment of English football It is easy to learn, but difficult to apply Many people regard the FA and even England's football professionals as fools, thinking that they are simply a vegetarian.

However, they also have their own helplessness.

Since the 1900s, English teams have been banned from European competitions by UEFA, which has directly led to the overall development of English football lagging behind the European continent for a long time.

This backwardness is not only reflected in tactics, but also directly reflected in youth training.

Nowadays, technology is generally emphasized.

Who doesn’t know that we should pay attention to technology?

But the problem is, if you want to value technology, you have to have a coach who values ​​technology to teach your children to play football.

All your previous youth training coaches emphasized physicality and fighting, but did not pay attention to technique.

What should you do?

All fired Who will take the lead at that hour and a half?

Well, you said you want to train a new group of coaches quickly, who doesn’t know?

But the problem is not that simple.

Money for training is not the primary issue.

The real primary issue is that you have to have a direction.

What style of football do you want in your country?

At least you have to have a direction so that everyone knows clearly what I want to learn.

Then we will design a system in this direction.

Otherwise, if we practice skills at a young age and follow the Spanish route, and then practice fighting in our teens and follow the British route, does that make sense?

When Yang Huan heard this, he felt the helplessness of the English football industry players.

It was as if they were standing at a crossroads, with roads to their front, back, and left, but they didn't know which one they were going to take.

Relatively speaking, the club is much simpler and directly follows the first team's tactical concepts.

As for youth training talents, it doesn't matter.

If not, I will directly recruit people from abroad.

Anyway, Premier League teams are not short of money.

But the FA can spread this model across the country If you really do this, you will definitely be drowned in the saliva of fans across the country.

"You know, we at Southampton take youth training very seriously."

David Bernstein nods, which is worthy of recognition.

The Saints' youth training 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 renovation, introduced a large number of talents, promoted high-tech auxiliary systems, and various measures have brought huge changes to Southampton.

The whole of England knows that the Saints youth training camp is full of talents and rookies.

"Griffa and Madoni are both old men who have been immersed in football for decades and have always been involved in youth training.

Bielsa's tactical concepts have always been very advanced, and there is also former FA technical director Harrison Lee.

Germany, as well as England youth training expert Matt Crocker and others, and I have called them all over and talked about youth training issues several times.”

The reason why Yang Huan talked with them was mainly about Chinese football, but English football was also mentioned.

"The traditional advantages of England's youth training are physicality and passion, which emphasize players' speed, running and confrontation.

This is in line with the style of the English league."

David Bernstein couldn't help but nod.

He himself has been engaged in football for decades, and he knew very well whether Yang Huan was right.

"With this characteristic of England, it is different from Brazil, Spain, Germany and France.

It cannot be copied, but it can absorb the advantages of others and use it for its own use.

And I very much agree with Bielsa's words that Southampton's tactical style is the best."

Suitable for English football” When he said these words, Yang Huan didn't show any signs of boasting, but was very serious.

"Ferguson is a great coach, but he is a pragmatist.

He does not have a stable philosophy of his own.

Wenger has a philosophy, but his ball control flow is not suitable for England.

Mourinho's style is more defensive.

This The style of football is not popular in the UK, so even when Chelsea won two consecutive championships, the attendance at the stadium was shockingly low.”

"Benitez's style pursues balance, but it is too rational and lacks passion.

The Miracle in Istanbul is not so much Benitez's masterpiece.

I would rather see it as an explosion of passion in English football that has been dull for a long time."

"Yes, that's right."

When David Bernstein heard this, his whole body was ignited.

It feels like everything suddenly becomes clear.

Prince William also couldn't help but nodded.

These words were indeed insightful and original.

"Belsa's football style is very passionate, emphasizing running coverage and giving opponents high-intensity pressure at all times.

The rhythm is very fast, which is very consistent with English football."

There is one thing Yang Huan didn't say, that is, Southampton's football is definitely one of the teams that attract the most attention from local fans in the Premier League this season.

The reason is very simple.

Bielsa's football is always full of passion.

This is what England fans want to see most "But at the same time, Bielsa attaches great importance to technology, teamwork, and players' creativity and imagination.

This represents the future development trend of football.

That's why I would say that the Saints' tactics are very suitable for England."

David Bernstein nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

He couldn't figure out why Southampton was so popular before.

But now that Yang Huan said this, it really makes sense.

Isn’t what Southampton has in its bones the traditional characteristics of English football?

However, the Saints have absorbed advanced football concepts and made their entire tactical system advanced and more in line with the development trend of modern football.

In this way, the youth training of English football should learn from Southampton.

If you follow the example of the saints, you will have a bright future.

"After solving the directional problem of England's youth training, the next two biggest problems must be solved."

"One problem is the lack of youth coaches in England" Yang Huan's words made David Bernstein frown again.

Prince William listened a little strangely, "How can there be scarcity?

Isn't there a lot?"

Yang Huan smiled and shook his head: "My Lord, the Duke of Cambridge, don't you know?

There are 24,000 coaches in Spain with UEFA B-level and A-level professional coaching certificates, and 35,000 coaches in Germany.

Guess how many there are in the UK?”

Prince William finally understood Yang Huan's subtext and hesitated for a moment, "At least there must be more than 10,000 people."

In terms of population, England has more people than Spain and less than Germany.

But when it comes to professional football clubs, England just throws them away.

Therefore, the number of high-level professional coaching certificate holders is probably Less, but not too outrageous.

But who knew, Yang Huan burst out laughing after hearing this.

Even David Bernstein has a hard time talking about it.

"It's not even 10,000 yet."

Prince William was a little depressed.

"No" Yang Huan nodded firmly.

"eight thousand" “Too much” Prince William became angry and spread out five fingers on his right hand, "It must be at least five thousand."

Who knows, Master Huan is still smiling, "It's still too much."

"Don't we have less than 3,000 professional coaches in England?"

Yang Huan smiled and said nothing this time.

Prince William immediately looked at David Bernstein, and the pitiful FA chairman greeted him with a wry smile.

"We only have a total of more than 2,700 coaches who have obtained UEFA professional coaching certificates."

Damn it, it’s not enough for me.

No wonder the level of youth training is so low It turns out it’s because there are too few professional coaches.

"Hey, that's not right.

If there are really only more than 2,700 people, how much will be left after deducting the professional clubs?"

David Bernstein smiled helplessly, "Actually, even in professional clubs, there are still many youth training coaches who do not have professional coaching certificates at all.

What is even more outrageous is that some head coaches of the Premier League first team are not even qualified to coach. , instead of being ashamed of it, domestic media are proud of it.”

This problem has always been a crux of English football:
