Red Rebels

For a football club, the business philosophy of the academy is very important!

This also has a lot to do with the positioning of the club's first team. For example, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they are more directly buying stars who have proved themselves in other places to join the team and improve their strength.

In Xiao Yu's previous life, Barcelona was also after the Triple Crown, and after the club formed a good surname cycle, they began to significantly promote the youth academy players, and even so, in Barcelona's first team, foreign players still occupy half of the country. .

But among those players who claim to be from Barcelona's youth training, there are also many players who are half-finished products that Barcelona dug up from other clubs, put them in the youth training camp, and let them integrate into the team's tactical system. Promote him to the first team, starting from the bench, such as Pedro, Piquet.

If you want to become a club like West Ham United and Southampton that specialize in cultivating young players, then sell it at a high price, and then invest in training, and rely on this business method to survive, just like the rise of Sevilla in Spain. If so, then there is no need for him to give Kaka and other young talents a raise.

Xiao Yu's attitude is very clear. With the current player reserve of the first team and youth team, they will have the strength to win the Champions League in three years at most, because three years later, this group of young people headed by Kaka will just enter their careers. At its peak, by that time, which team in Europe will be able to compete?

For a long time, Xiao Yu has positioned the team as a future giant, so he spared no expense to build a new stadium, attract investment, and strive to operate the land around the stadium. On the one hand, it is to expand the influence of the stadium, and on the other hand Also want to bring stable income.

Since it is a wealthy family, the youth training camp should pay attention to it, and the training of its own players also needs to be concerned. In addition, the acquisition of semi-finished products is also very necessary.

A giant team, even Barcelona and Arsenal, cannot promote their own players in every position, so in the previous life, Boyang was promoted to the first team for many years, but Barcelona still did not let him be the main force. To'o left and bought Ibrahimovic, and Ibrahimovic kicked and came to Villa.

This does not mean that Barcelona does not care about Boyang's development, but he does not yet have the ability to partner with the main force in the team.

The same is true of Ismail, who is currently in the first team. He still needs to sculpt and experience the game.

In this way, the introduction of some semi-finished products has become the most suitable method, which can not only reduce risks, but also improve the cohesion of the team. After all, it is undoubtedly tempting to spend a lot of money to buy big-name stars, but the price is obvious, that is, the club. Operating cost pressure is too high.

As the football economy is gradually entering a difficult situation, in addition to Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain, Chelsea and Manchester City are probably the only ones in Europe who are willing to spend a lot of money after the big boss has injected capital, but a team that wants to operate reasonably always relies on the boss to inject capital. It can't last forever.

Therefore, after Chelsea stopped investing heavily in Abramovich, the results began to decline, and they began to turn their recruitment targets to those talented semi-finished products.

This is why in the years when Xiao Yu crossed over, so-called talented youngsters have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. That is because all teams in Europe have begun to pay attention to these players. If you want to buy a famous star, it is better to spend about 10 million to buy a talented young man with excellent talent, cultivate it, and you can take on a big job after a year or two.

Yes, Xiao Yu is rich now, and he can invest tens of millions of people every day to buy people, but if Xiao Yu can no longer continue to invest for some reason, what will happen to the team?

For a reasonably managed team, under the condition of guaranteeing performance and management, the most reasonable signing attitude should be to first consider their own youth training, then consider semi-finished products, and finally consider famous stars.

Some people may think that if you don't buy people with a lot of money, how can you become a wealthy family?

That is wrong!

If the buyer can buy the rich and powerful,

That honor of a wealthy family is really cheap enough to be wholesaled in the vegetable market!

Buying people can improve the strength and make an ordinary team transform into a strong team, become a giant, but if you want to become a giant, you can show your achievements to speak, show your influence!

Real Madrid's strong signings can lead to a galactic battleship. Even if Inter Milan becomes a star black hole, they are still giants, but can other teams do it? If they didn't have that deep historical background, would they be possible?

Of course, in the increasingly utilitarian football world, giants have been abused, but at least you have to have achievements and you have to have influence, so Arsenal and Chelsea are giants. The former focuses on youth training and greatly promotes young players. He has cultivated world-class stars such as Henry, Pires, Vieira and Cesc Fabregas.

Chelsea's strong rise in the Premier League broke the two-way transfer between Manchester United and Arsenal, and at that time, it also caught up with the wave of the Premier League's influence spreading around the world, so Chelsea took advantage of the trend. Another point that cannot be ignored is that Kenyon is behind promotion and planning.

Xiao Yu is determined to run into a wealthy family, but it is not a wealthy family piled up with money, but relying on his own achievements, influence, and cultivating world-class stars, in order to climb the ladder of a wealthy family, and then continue to operate for a long time. .

Under this business philosophy, the role of the scouting department is extremely important!

………………"Ozil?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised. He had been here for a few years, but he really forgot about this little daughter-in-law, but soon he was on Ozil's profile. A red cross is seen, which means that the player has failed the introduction.

"He is currently playing for a low-level club in Germany, but he does not plan to leave Germany in the short term, and according to the report submitted by our German scouts, the language talent of this player is really uncomplimentable!" Boyas smiled bitterly. Shaking his head.

Xiao Yu remembered the helplessness he encountered with Ozil when Mourinho was in charge of Real Madrid in his previous life, and burst out laughing. I heard that Ozil is very lacking in language talent. I haven't learned it for a long time, which made Mourinho, who was a translator, very depressed.

"Focus on him!" Xiao Yu patted Boyas on the shoulder and comforted.

Last year, there was a language problem in the team, that is, Ronaldinho. He has a strong Portuguese dialect and does not speak English well. For this reason, the club specially invited an English teacher from Portugal to serve as a junior. Ronaldinho's English teacher taught him for more than half a year before letting him master spoken English, and then slowly self-study.

In addition to Ozil, there are several other German players in the report given by the scouting department, such as Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller and other future German internationals, of which Toni Kroos is currently in Rostock, his father He turned down the offer to coach the youth team at the team.

Thomas Muller is the key target of Bayern Munich's youth training camp. Although he is still very young, he has a lot of potential and cannot be recruited at all.

"Since the 1998 and 2000 World Cup and European Cup defeats, Germany has invested in a lot of youth training projects. In the past few years, young German rookies have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. In a few years, I believe that young German players will go further. Prove the value of this youth training program." In Boas' report, Germany has a heavier weight.

Xiao Yu couldn't help nodding. In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the German team was the home of the devil, but this young German team made everyone see the hope of German football. Ozil, Thomas Muller and other young players of the younger generation Even more amazing.

In contrast to England's youth training, Xiao Yu could only shake his head and sigh!

"Luis, I want the scouting department to collect some materials for the German youth training program for me. I hope to find an opportunity, led by us, to invite Premier League clubs and some football experts to discuss the current situation of the youth training in England!"

Boyas nodded and agreed, this can improve the image and influence, and in the final analysis, the club can only benefit from the rise of the country's youth training level.

But Xiao Yu has another concern, that is, if FIFA and UEFA really start restricting foreign aid in the future, it may be difficult for the Premier League to continue to prosper, because frankly speaking, England's youth training is really bad, very bad. bad.

When the whole world attaches great importance to technical training and advocates small-ball and small-field youth training, England still stubbornly implements large-field youth training, which makes English players look big and have good physical fitness, but they are more suitable for running rather than playing. football.

The German players couldn't be found, and the team's scouts in France also found Karim Benzema in Lyon's youth academy, but the French teenager who was given a high score by the scouts was Lyon. He is a star who focuses on training, and he personally thinks that it is best to continue training in Lyon, and leaving hastily may not be beneficial to his future.

In addition to these well-known stars in the previous life, there are many other players in the scouting report sent by Boas this time, including Argentina's Mascherano and Tevez, the former is from Redondo and The football school of the Solari family is a strong midfielder recommended by Redondo's father-in-law, but the team has decided to temporarily loan him to River Plate.

As for Tevez, he has already played the main force in the Boca youth team. He is a hot new star in Argentina. He is just focusing on him and never thought of getting him. After all, the current team has a lot of talents on the offensive line.

In addition, the scouting report also includes information on other players on loan. For example, Alves and Thiago Silva have both played the main force in Benfica. The performance of both of them is very good, and the team is also paying close attention to them. Their progress will hopefully one day bring them back to work.

Turning the pages, Xiao Yu turned to the last page of the report, which listed several young players recently introduced by the scouting department. Most of them are English players. They will enter the youth training camp to enrich the youth. The team, and a few others came to try out.

The introduction of these players is basically to compensate the original club for a small training fee. After the two sides negotiate properly, the player will enter the youth training camp. There are also some players who come for trial training. The scouts are interested and invited to come to the trial training. If they finally decide to hire, the team will pay them a transfer fee.

However, the transfer fees of these players are generally not expensive. Xiao Yu basically delegates the power to Mourinho for these operations. After all, he knows best what type of players his tactics lack, plus Boya This is because of the operation of the s, so Xiao Yu is basically just browsing it at random.

But this time, he saw a more familiar name in the trial player list!
