Red Rebels

?

05/06 season, the opening game of the Premier League, Manchester City Derby!

After the schedule was announced, the news immediately became the focus of countless media attention.

Manchester City and the Red Rebels, Van Gaal and Mourinho, this is undoubtedly an exciting matchup, especially last season, the Red Rebels fell into a low ebb after being tied by Manchester City, and then lost the entire season. Hard work leads to the champion falling by the wayside.

Now that the two heroes meet again, the Red Rebels have become the new owners of the Champions League, but Manchester City is no longer the Wu Xia Amon of the past. They have also lined up a star-studded lineup, and their strength is comparable to that of the Red Rebels. It's no longer as vulnerable as it was during the Keegan period.

Revenge, mentorship, mortal rivals, derby... The media can arrange a lot of stunts for this game, especially when Manchester United is on the verge of decline. The rise of the Red Rebels and Manchester City has become another beautiful scenery of the Premier League. .

But this is just the beginning.

In the second round, Chelsea faced Arsenal at home. This was another heavyweight focus match that attracted much attention. Especially after the Ashley Cole transfer turmoil, Arsenal fans hated Chelsea. It's hard to get to the bone, and Wenger even attacked Chelsea's transfer strategy in the media, which made the showdown between the two teams full of gunpowder.

In the third round, Chelsea faced the Red Rebels at home. Although Chelsea won the Premier League championship last season, they were beaten twice at home and away by the Red Rebels, which was humiliated by Ancelotti. He once said to the media during the season summary Said that not being able to defeat the Red Rebels last season was his biggest regret, and he hopes to get revenge on the Red Rebels next season.

As for the Red Rebels, they lost the league championship by 1 point at the last moment. All this led to Chelsea's stability and strength. However, as the new season begins, the Red Rebels have 10,000 reasons to resent Chelsea. They are bound to lose in In this focus battle of the third round, the humiliation of last season was severely wiped out.

In the fourth round, Liverpool faced Arsenal at home; in the fifth round, Manchester United faced Manchester City at home, and the Red Rebels faced Droylsden at home; in the sixth round, Liverpool played Manchester United at home... As the media continued to interpret the schedule one by one. , they were surprised to find that almost every round of the Premier League in the new season has suspenseful matchups, and the Football Association seems to intend to arrange a heavyweight game for each round of the schedule in order to increase the attention of the Premier League. Spend.

With 6 teams, plus the participation of traditional mid-table teams such as Newcastle, Everton, Tottenham, and Blackburn, the Premier League in the new season is extremely fierce, especially Deroy, who is known as the Red Rebel II. Sten have entered the Premier League for the first time in history, and West Ham United has returned to the Premier League. These make the new Premier League season full of gimmicks and full of excitement.

Some media have conducted surveys across Europe before. When asked which league is more eye-catching, the Premier League accounts for 40%, La Liga 28%, and the rest are Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and other leagues.

It can be seen that with the entry of a large amount of foreign capital, the Premier League has become the most attractive league in today's football.

In addition, there are currently many Premier League teams involved in acquisition rumors. For example, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been constantly rumored to have scandals with Liverpool. In Xiao Yu's previous life, Thaksin should have failed in his bid to buy Liverpool and turned to buy Manchester City. But now Manchester City has been acquired by Al Fahim in advance. Thaksin is currently moving to Liverpool, but he doesn't know how it will progress.

In addition, Premier League teams including West Ham United and Birmingham City are also coveted by foreign capital.

Regarding the acquisition of Premier League teams by foreign capital, the Football Association and the Premier League have adopted a wait-and-see attitude. However, at the bosses' summit last season, Xiao Yu once proposed that foreign capital acquisitions of English professional teams should be restricted and reviewed to prevent the Glazer Family-like consortiums acquire clubs in the form of debt to prevent English clubs from falling into a debt quagmire.

This proposal has been approved by the Premier League and the Football Association. It will be formulated into express regulations in the near future and distributed to every professional club. The acquired funds will be strictly reviewed and evaluated. At the same time, a series of policies will be introduced to prevent clubs from The owners profit from the club.

To put it simply, the Football Association and the Premier League will jointly issue a series of policies that clearly stipulate that only financially healthy consortiums are qualified to acquire English clubs, even if the club is a listed company, and will operate the club through taxation and other forms. Revenue control, urging operators to continue investing in club construction, and encouraging investment in youth training construction.

If this series of policies are introduced, the Glazer family will probably not be able to repay their bank debts and interest through Manchester United. However, the Premier League and the Football Association are still negotiating with the expert group on the specific content, hoping to provide it before the start of the league. Provide clear provisions.

It can be said that once these provisions are promulgated, the risk of English clubs being acquired will be further controlled. Debt acquisitions like the Glazer family will be eliminated, and acquisitions such as Abramovich and Al Fahim will be allowed, but they can only invest in the club. , and cannot obtain income from the club, otherwise, they will have to pay heavy taxes or face relevant penalties.

All of this was evolved by the FA and the Premier League after receiving Xiao Yu's proposal, learning from the Bundesliga's 50+1 policy, absorbing some practical concepts, and combining it with the Premier League's advanced system. It is important to ensure the health of Premier League clubs. business.

In addition, the reform of the English League, which was originally supposed to be introduced last year, was delayed to the 2005/06 season.

Just like in the previous life, the original League One, League Two and League Three will be integrated and packaged into the Championship, League One and League Two. The three leagues will jointly attract investment, and the Premier League has also given great help in attracting investment.

But what is different from the previous life is that since the end of last season, the Football Association has begun to send an expert inspection team to conduct assessment and evaluation specifically for each professional club, requiring all clubs to have a complete youth training academy. , as well as the relevant coaching staff, team doctors, and staff.

Each youth team of the English Championship team must be equipped with two standard training venues, three youth training coaches, a goalkeeper coach, a physiotherapist, a team doctor and a medical room, etc., and coaches and doctors All must have relevant licenses and certificates, otherwise they will not be counted.

The requirements for teams in League One and League Two are relatively low. There is one field and two coaches. However, the goalkeeper coach, physiotherapist, team doctor and medical room must be complete, and other youth training facilities must also be completed in accordance with the standards. .

In addition, regarding the stadium issue, the Football Association clearly stipulates that the English Championship team must have a stadium that can accommodate more than 150 million people. The requirements for English League One and League Two are relatively lower, which are 10,000 and 8,000 people respectively. Once promoted to the Premier League, the stadium The capacity must be at least 20,000, with special treatment like Manchester City cited as an example for building new stadiums.

Although the requirements are strict and the review is not negotiable, many low-level teams were forced to be relegated due to unqualified software and hardware. However, the vast majority of teams meet the requirements. After all, the Football Association issued the order in the summer of 2004. The relevant instructions were given and the club was given one year to plan.

While the requirements are strict, the Football Association also provides enough sweetness. In addition to increased income, teams entering the English Championship, English League One and English League Two will also receive annual funding jointly allocated by the Football Association, the Premier League and the Government. , each team can receive a youth training subsidy of 250,000 pounds, totaling 18 million pounds.

This youth training subsidy is divided into three parts. The Government and the Football Association pay 5 million pounds, and the Premier League pays 8 million pounds. The amount paid by the Premier League is also included in the normal expenditure of the Premier League.

In view of the current lack of professional coaches in England, in addition to the Red Rebels establishing a professional coach training center in Manchester, the Football Association will also hold a professional coach training course in London, hoping to cultivate a group of advanced concepts for England as soon as possible professional coach.

The layout of the youth training courses will also be more in line with the current development trend of football, with more emphasis on technology, the introduction of small-scale training, and promotion of small-field youth training. It will completely overhaul the previous large-field youth training and use more sophisticated futsal. The training system attaches great importance to the cultivation of technology and creativity, and rejects the previous youth training methods that stifled creativity and technology.

It can be said that from the launch of the English Championship to the reform of the youth training system, the Football Association is obviously determined to further strengthen the maturity and improvement of the English league and improve the level of local English players.

In the past, the FA has been clamoring to attach importance to youth training and localization, but it has not worked for so many years. The Premier League has increasingly become a foreign aid team, and the England national team may even miss the World Cup. All this makes the FA feel embarrassed. , the government is constantly exerting pressure.

Coupled with the fact that the Premier League clubs have reached a consensus, the Premier League has given certain financial support, and the government has allocated funds, these have made the Football Association determined to carry out reforms.

However, if you don’t reform, you won’t know. Once the reform came, everyone was shocked. After the FA promulgated relevant regulations and established relevant departments to supervise them, they were surprised to discover that English football is still very rich, and even the youth training It’s so refreshing to invest.

Look at Italy. Youth teams with outstanding youth training are rewarded every year, but the bonus is only 460 euros. However, in England, the youth training subsidies in lower-level leagues are 250,000 pounds each season. What a huge difference.

If you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the series of reform measures launched by the Football Association and the Premier League have faint shadows of Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels at their core. All of this was the result of Xiao Yu's decision to let Walsh play in England. Reasons for taking office within the FA.

Today's Red Rebels can be said to have become more and more important in English football. Even many authoritative newspapers such as The Times have stated that the reform of English football is actually a political ax calling on English teams to There is a trend of learning from the Red Rebels, because they are sure that the Red Rebels’ techniques and tactics represent the future.

Fast, smooth, concise and efficient, emphasizing one-touch passing and receiving, emphasizing control and pressure, these are the tactical characteristics of the Red Rebels. On both offense and defense, the Red Rebels players work intensively as a team, and players move without the ball. They echo and connect with each other, and while blocking the opponent's attack, they defeat the opponent with a continuous offensive.

"From Beckham, Ismail, Curtis, Terry, Michael Johnson and others, we can see that the system of the Red Rebels can be implemented on English players, and look at the current situation The Red Rebels account for half of the players in the England U15 national team, including many outstanding rising stars such as Theo Walcott, Wilshere and Rodwell."

"It can be said that the Red Rebels have used the results of their youth training to prove to everyone that this set of youth training is effective and worth persisting in. We have reason to believe that with our unremitting reforms, as the youth training system improves Progress will bring about earth-shaking changes in English football, starting with the U15 European Youth Championship in the summer!"

In this European-level youth team competition of all ages, England last won the championship in 1984. With the rise of the Premier League, England's youth teams have become increasingly sinking, which has also been criticized in previous years. .

However, in recent years, with the rise of the Red Rebels youth training, the captain of the u19 team is now Ismael Miller of the Red Rebels, the captain of the u17 team is Michael Johnson of the Red Rebels, and there are more players in the u15 youth team. There are 7 Red Rebel players, 5 of whom are the main players, accounting for half of the team. Among them, Walcott has become the captain of the U15 National Youth Team.

In a recent warm-up match, the England U15 youth team defeated the powerful German team 6:2. Forward Walcott scored a hat-trick. Players from the Red Rebels swept England's 6 goals.

All this allows people to see the future of English football, especially the team's technical style of play, control of the game, and control of the football. These are all eye-catching. The team with the Rebels youth training players as its core is believed to be able to impress in the U15 European Youth Championship in August this year.

And all of this makes people seem to see the shadow of the Red Rebels in England. Maybe in time, they can have the same future!
