Section 397 Snatching of youth resources
The English media actually figured out that Li Bin could lead England to achieve good results, such an idea made Li Bin have to sigh, these guys are really not small. Not to mention whether you have the ability to do so, why do you have to eat enough to help English football rise?
However, after thinking about it, he also understood what the media meant: the current situation of English football is too bad, since the early 90s to now, it is 20 years, but their results have never improved. In every major tournament, the England team claims to have broken the strongest record in history, but in every major tournament, the England team is embarrassed to accompany the runners. Once by luck, twice by accident, and again in 20 years, even the most stupid people understand that England did not lose by luck, but by the complete backwardness of tactical strength.
But what if the tactics are lagging behind?
The English media have not given this a second eye on the issue, putting the blame on the coaches who refuse to use homegrown players. However, the causal relationship is reversed: because the local players are so bad, the coaches don't use them, not because the coaches don't use them, they are bad.
England didn't understand this problem, they seemed, their players are not bad - in memory, in the 2010 World Cup, England is the only national team starter, except for the goalkeeper, who have played in the Champions League final, two of the top three who have won the Ballon d'Or, left-back and central defender are all world-class, and the striker has also entered the top ten of the Golden Ball, which is considered to be the top five in the world.
But they just can't play well, and in England's eyes, it's the coach's responsibility. England was the first to use foreign coaches among the football powers, but they couldn't play like that, so they naturally set their sights on the coaches who were coaching in their own leagues.
In the Premier League, Arsenal needless to say, as early as the last century, they were complained that it was the French team, and there are more and more Spaniards in Liverpool, and it is not unreasonable for the English media to jokingly call their first language Spanish. Chelsea have people from all over the world, but the main team is slightly better, with three or four Englishmen, and the substitutes are not considered home-grown players at all. There are only Ferguson and Li Bin, who are now willing to use British players at all levels to try to make them play at a high level - since there are only a limited number of people who are willing to make such an attempt, then the media will naturally stare at them every day, Ferguson is a person who has been targeted by England for a long time, but he is naturally unwilling to take England as a Scottish origin, and the British media has no choice, and now they see Li Bin as good, that is, because Li Bin is Chinese- China is not a region like Scotland that has historical problems with England, and if Li Bin takes China to play in the World Cup, he will definitely not win the championship, so maybe it is not bad to take England?
England has not changed a good coach in recent years, even if Li Bin won the Champions League and made him compare with Capello, he also asked himself that he was not as strong as Capello: Capello may be a little behind in terms of tactical ability, but that person's tough wrist and personality are definitely the most domineering among coaches - if Loew has his hardness of 30%, Germany will not be without a championship - however, he can't teach England well, because England's problems are deep in the bone marrow.
It is true that their main players have reached the Champions League final, but if you take a closer look at the chances, there is a problem: all of their midfielders have a lot of tactical freedom in their clubs, and Gerrard and Frank Lampard have to rely on someone behind them to wipe their butts. In the 06 World Cup, the most dazzling thing in the England team was Hargreaves, not for no reason - because Hargreaves, who was born in Germany, is the strongest tactical execution in this team.
As for now...... Hargreaves has begun to get injured a lot, England can't find a midfielder who can wipe his ass, and no one can teach him.
And it's just that the strength is poor, and there are still so many troubles in the media. As long as the English team plays in the tournament, it will automatically qualify for the strongest England in history, on the one hand, it is nonsense to be patriotic and play well, but on the other hand, the media is frantically demolishing the stage, and it is not afraid to expose the team's various scandals before the tournament. Wrong ideas, stupid Football Association, and crazy media have come together, and compared to the hot position of Chinese football, only a brave man like Capello dares to take over - however, Li Bin also remembers very clearly how Capello was pitted by the media and the FA in front of the World Cup, and then resigned angrily in the face of the FA's overstepping of his authority.
Li Bin knew this well, and naturally he could not take over England. Moreover, having been in the football world for a long time, he also agrees with some ideas of people in the football world: leading a club to play football, that is to make money, and it is the same everywhere, but leading the national team to play football, that meaning is different. Li Bin asked himself, if he really took over the national team, he would still only be willing to take over the Chinese national team, even if he knew that he would not be able to produce any results, but there was also a personal emotional problem - but then again, Li Bin estimated that he would not be bored enough to challenge the position of the Chinese national team......
It's just that, in this case, there is no need for Li Bin to tell the media, so that the FA feels that he may take over England in the future, what harm will it do to him?
When he was interviewed, he just made a joke and fooled him, "I don't want to compete with Mr. Capello for work, he is very good at command, I still prefer the working environment of the club, as for the future, I don't think about it now." I'm using homegrown players because I think there is something to be done in England players, and I'm only using players that I think are good. As for the lack of strength and talent of the English players, I think it should be looked at separately, at least, West Ham United's youth training has always been good! ”
When Li Bin said this, it was already the eve of his Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United match.
In this round of their game, they played against the Hammers, and Li Bin also praised West Ham United's youth training before the game: The England national team over the years can be said to have benefited from West Ham United, Frank Lampard, Carrick, Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Defoe, Glenn Johnson, it can be said that the Premier League over the years, if it is not for the strong capital injection, maybe it is West Ham United that has risen.
'Kudos them to learn from them and we have to strengthen our youth team now because West Ham have a lot of experience in that. We can't be worse than them in terms of technical training, but when we win over the players, they are definitely better than us. It's a big deal to get the players to come and the West Ham emphasise the 'family atmosphere' in learning, which is a very interesting way to say that we can learn from them – it's important for Tottenham to recruit students. ”
England has a rule that young players can only be recruited within an hour's radius of the training base. This rule was not until Manchester United lost to Barcelona in the Champions League final in 2011, and Ferguson believed that his players were not good enough because of the policy, and he could only change it by scolding.
This regulation has been criticized a lot, and many people believe that this makes those children who are far away from the big clubs not get enough training opportunities, and the club's selection range is small, and there are not enough talents. Although there are teams in some places, the level of youth training is worrying, and the players there can't be trained, and a team like Manchester United has established a youth academy, but there are no good players within an hour's drive, and they can only stare dryly.
But in fact, Manchester United is already good, at least within an hour's drive, only Manchester City has some competitiveness with them, for a team like Tottenham, there is another problem: London City has six Premier League teams, an hour's drive, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham United's selection range is overlapping, there is a problem of talent competition between them, how to grab talent is very important. For example, John Terry trained at West Ham until he was signed by Chelsea at the age of 14, and Frank Lampard, who trained with him at the time, renewed his contract with West Ham when Arsenal and Tottenham were trying to sign – for these teams, the good players in range are typical of a situation where there are more wolves and less meat, and how you pull the players to your own side is important. As far as Li Bin knows, Joe Cole's family lives only five minutes away from Arsenal's training base, but he still went to West Ham United, which is what West Ham United are capable of.
"West Ham's academy director, Tony Carr, is a real talent and he's developed a lot of talent over the years, but it's his management style that's more noteworthy. Their training model is average, SAQ is still learned from Italy, there is nothing remarkable, the key is management - England's system is relatively special, the players here have less training time, and there are fewer talents. In addition to strengthening the training model, we also have to pay attention to how to attract talents. ”
The FA has some rules for the training of young players: students between the ages of 9 and 16 can only train on three nights, and the rest of the time they still need to take cultural classes. Students aged 17-19 also have a day on Thursday and a half-day on Monday morning. The training time of English players in youth is almost half of that of Spanish players.
"England's youth reform is not something I can control. I can manage it, it's just one club. London has a dense team, the players get more training opportunities, and there is more talent, and we also learn from West Ham United, set up a dedicated scout, and do nothing else, just poach people for me in the youth teams of Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham United - turning their youth training into our backup, which is also a way out. ”
"But even if we do, we won't be able to dig it up, right?" Levy hesitated, "Those famous children of other teams won't come to us, right?" ”
"Once the academy is set up, they will come. Believe me, the team's feelings are nothing compared to my son's success. ”
Not to mention these teams, even the stars of Manchester United, won't they send their children to Manchester City's academy in the future? If the level of youth training is high, it will naturally be able to attract good players, but if you don't invest, there will be nothing.
No matter where you go, you can't lose the youth training. With youth training, there is security, in case the team encounters an economic crisis, or illegal operations, and is banned from transferring, youth training is the team's confidence. Li Bin is now also thinking about establishing Tottenham's academy, if it can really become the best academy in England like West Ham United, then Tottenham will have the most solid confidence in the future.
West Ham United's youth training is good, Chelsea's youth investment is also large, and Arsenal's youth training is also famous...... Well, grab them all, and it's all mine!
