Football’s First Defender

When Yang Feng visited the forum in his previous life, he saw that many people complained that there were not enough stadiums all over the country, how could Chinese football develop if there were not so many stadiums!

But does the addition of stadiums really have anything to do with the improvement of Chinese football? Anyway, the construction of the stadium has been increasing slowly all the time, but it is really unknown how much it will affect the youth training!

Many people are willing to compare Europe's football development with China's. Indeed, the extravagant act of setting up a lawn in any park as a stadium in Western Europe will not happen in China for decades. !

But if, as some keyboards say, all the land is used to build buildings and make money, there is no stadium, which is a bit unreasonable!

As a sport of football, the requirements for the field are high or low!

Many people only see the huge investment in football fields by many football powers in Western Europe, but they don't see the construction of basic stadium facilities in places like South America and Africa that are even more shabby than those in China!

However, even on the beach, on the street, and in the wilderness, a large number of outstanding players have also emerged in these poor places!

In China, although there are indeed very few professional-level pastures, talking about turf is a bit too extravagant for youth training!

The stubborn disease of domestic youth training is definitely not the limitation of venues, but the lack of basic youth training coaches! Lack of professional scouts! It is a problem that the football environment does not understand and dare not cultivate young people!

Whether it is a mature European football system, a unique South American youth training system, or the almost non-existent football youth training system on the African continent, there are always a large number of football talents emerging continuously. The human factor That's the key!

Not only the natural advantages of the human race in terms of body, but also a large number of professional football players, with discerning eyes, and the ability to discover young players!

Take African football as an example. In short, you can regard the outward transfer of African players as population migration, or to put it bluntly, it is the "trading" of population!

However, for many ordinary people in Africa who are determined to change their destiny, football is definitely a gift from God!

Many senior scouts and youth training coaches do not need to deliberately visit and observe the vast African continent. They only need to simply open a free training camp in a certain country, and there will be countless young people who want to change their destiny. , swarming!

There are a large number of African young people who need football to change their own destiny! Many of these players who showed a little talent in the training camp will be brought to Europe at a low price at a very young age to sign a training contract and receive professional football training!

This is the economic system formed by football!

For European football, which has the strongest economic strength, in terms of youth training, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat shrimp! Formed an absolutely perfect, balanced, circular food chain!

These young African players were brought from the African continent to the bustling places in Europe at an absolutely cheap price!

The first to buy them and train them is the most ordinary football agency. They may not be able to find out which one of them will become a future superstar, and they don't expect a future superstar to appear and earn a big transfer fee. They can't make that kind of money, their goal is very simple, that is to earn every head's youth training money! The accumulation of less makes more, relying on quantity rather than quality!

Just like the processing trade, these teenagers from Africa, after a few months or a few years of carving by their hands, will be paid by the brokerage company for a low price, but the overall rate of return is very pleasant. Price, trade to the youth training system of the new team!

These teams may be just low-level teams, or those big teams in the top leagues. Their adult teams may not be so good. In the eyes of Chinese fans, they have always acted as the background of strong teams!

However, compared with the careful calculation and calculation of every small sum of money by adult teams, these teams often invest a large proportion of their finances in the field of youth training. They hire excellent youth training coaches to train their youth training players. Whether the players are from their own country, South America, or Africa, here, they are almost all treated equally! Respect strength!

As for the management of so many youth training players, there are huge differences in race and skin color, will there be so-called "disorders"! In fact, it is a bit ridiculous to talk about racism in front of money. The managers of these clubs, their recognition of money is definitely more real than any kind of racism!

And it is also the pursuit of money. After ensuring the so-called staying in the professional game and not being relegated, on the one hand, it is to allow individual main players to scrutinize their stats, and strive to sell to a better team to earn a transfer fee. On the other hand, it is to use young people to replace the so-called veterans who have no commercial value and transfer value, so that they have more time to adapt to the professional football league!

Then, the young people who have been played will be continuously supplied to their own teams, and they will be sold to sell when they have cultivated to a certain level of strength!

This is how many small teams survive. They don't have too much pursuit of championships, business is the most important thing! And their fans are actually very Buddhist. They are not chasing some championships, which is unrealistic, but simply enjoying football, the process of every game, and the joy of every rare victory!

Many clubs continue to buy young players, train them, and sell them to ensure that the team's finances are always in a good cycle, and they continue to rely on youth training to create wealth!

And some of the players from these teams may fall directly into the eyes of the giants, and some may just go to a slightly higher-ranked team, but it is definitely a win-win for the players and the original team! One got a better platform, a higher salary, and the other earned enough transfer fees!

And it is the well-developed supply and demand relationship of European football that enables new football stars to be continuously discovered and cultivated!

For the truly wealthy teams, they don't have to waste a lot of time and energy looking for those talented players who are truly one-in-a-kind in the vast crowd. They only need to hire and send enough scouts to Just go all over the world to inspect the inherent players in ordinary teams!

Those players who have already shown impressive talent while still in the youth training can be recruited directly into the youth training team, so they can directly recruit themselves to train!

If they can’t find it, they will wait for the player to grow up for a few years, gain a foothold in the first team, perform well, and prove that he can fulfill his talent in the professional arena. Not bad for that little money!
