Chapter 639: Who the Hell Is It?
Ye Qiu said that youth coaches are the most valuable resource in the youth training system.
If this word gets out, it may cause a lot of controversy, because everyone's attention is always on the player, so few people will pay attention to the coach, so the player is a superstar in the football world, but the coach is difficult to be such a compelling role, especially the coach who is engaged in youth training.
According to a survey conducted by the BBC, the total number of people who have obtained UEFA A-level coaching and professional coaching certificates is only 1,000 in England, with a population of more than 50 million, which is less than the Netherlands, which has a population of more than 10 million, which has a total of 1,137 professional coaches.
Italy and France, with populations of more than 60 million, have 1,810 in the former and 2,588 in the latter, while Germany has 6,570 professional coaches in Germany with a population of 80 million, and Spain, with a population of more than 40 million, has the largest group of professional coaches in Europe, with 14,860, which is more than ten times that of England.
This is a very interesting data, the BBC is based on the statistics up to the World Cup in South Africa, and if you calculate according to this data, the number of professional coaches in each country tracks the proportion of the population, and the final figure is very consistent with the level of youth training in each country.
You can say it's a coincidence, but isn't it really that coincidental?
It is an indisputable fact that the youth training of England and Italy is terrible, and the youth training level of Spain, the Netherlands and Germany is very high, which is also an indisputable fact, so the number of professional coaches is definitely directly related to the level of youth training, and if any country wants to develop youth training, it must first develop a professional coaching team.
Without a team of high-level professional coaches, there is simply no high-level youth training.
Tottenham Hotspur has established a coach training course, but there is no mandatory requirement that all coaches who receive training must stay at Tottenham Hotspur, first of all, because Tottenham Hotspur only needs high-level professional coaches, and secondly, Ye Qiu does not think that this mandatory measure has any effect.
At first glance, although Tottenham Hotspur did not make money by holding such a training course, but invested a lot of money, but the talents cultivated have been outflowed, which seems to be a loss, but never forget that this is a long-term project, these people do not stay at Tottenham Hotspur now, choose to go elsewhere, but in the future it is possible to learn more from the outside and come back.
And football is the same as all industries, and relationships are indispensable.
Wealthy families, why are they giants? It is because they have a deep heritage, and interpersonal relationships are a very important part of it, so if you want to see the wealthy as the tip of the pyramid, then interpersonal relationships are definitely one of the pillars that support this pyramid.
There are also many people who are criticizing Tottenham Hotspur, thinking that Ye Qiu's way of running the team is too messy and the things he does are too miscellaneous.
If it is said that investing in real estate, Manchester United is doing it, Arsenal is doing it, and it is understandable, then what coach training courses, what sports medicine research centers, what tactical research centers, and what Christmas carnivals and the like are almost all some business that accompanies and makes money, no matter how you look at it, it is not profitable, but it has to invest a lot of money every year.
Know how other football clubs do it?
AC Milan has already announced, due to budget problems, announced the closure of the medical research department of the Milan laboratory, of course, the so-called Milan laboratory, the club is still using, but it is no longer invested in research.
Also, serving the fan community, all clubs are engaged in it, but there has never been a team like Tottenham Hotspur, including Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams, at best, to go to the community nursing home, or the children's hospital during the New Year's holidays, and let a few reporters take pictures or something.
But Tottenham Hotspur has a community activity every month, from the first team to the youth team, because in Ye Qiu's eyes, this is not a show, but a reflection of the social responsibility that a professional player should fulfill.
Why are Tottenham borough councils and London City Council so supportive of Tottenham Hotspur's Christmas carnival?
It is because this carnival has brought significant temporary jobs to the Tottenham district, and at the same time greatly invigorated the economy of the district and improved the image of the Tottenham district, so they are willing to make great efforts to support it, and even not long ago, the Tottenham District Council specially negotiated with Tottenham Hotspur to discuss the future of Tottenham Hotspur after the south.
The most important thing is to leave this Christmas carnival in Tottenham, and there are a lot of preferential conditions for this, and even not only Tottenham, but also the whole of Haringey Borough in North London is very inclined to leave Christmas Carnival in North London, rather than moving south with Tottenham Hotspur moving south.
Not only does the Notting Hill Carnival turn the area into a paradise for the rich, but it also brings immeasurable economic and tourism revenue to the municipality every year, and the Christmas Carnival clearly has the potential to do so.
For the Gracious Reservation of the Haringey Municipality Conference and the Tottenham District, Peter? Kenyon also said on behalf of Tottenham Hotspur that he would seriously consider the proposal, and he has repeatedly said that even if Tottenham Hotspur goes south, it still belongs to Haringey and Tottenham's team.
In order to show this attitude, Tottenham Hotspur had already negotiated with the City of London and the Olympic Organizing Committee when they were fighting for Stratford Stadium, and would open or increase the subway and bus from Haringey and Tottenham south to Stratford, so that all North London fans could go south.
Ye Qiu has always felt that the managers of many clubs are actually very short-sighted, just like AC Milan, the Milan laboratory gave them a taste of sweetness in the past few years, but as the club's operation and performance have been affected in recent years, they began to throttle, so the R&D department of the Milan laboratory was closed, because the existing technology was enough.
This is obviously a very short-sighted behavior, and there are many other clubs that are very short-sighted.
Ye Qiu has always felt that the core competitiveness of a football club is not on the field, but more and more developed into an all-round competition, the field is only what everyone sees, and the competition off the field is also very important, it can even be said that without preparation off the field, there will be no victory on the field.
Therefore, everything he is doing now seems to be very miscellaneous on the surface, but in fact, in the final analysis, it is in line with the club's future development plan, because if you want to become a giant team, a giant team that can stand for a long time, then you can't be short-sighted, you have to take a long-term view, rather than worrying about some immediate interests.
Ye Qiu and Peter? Why doesn't Kenyon spend his money on reinforcements and elsewhere?
It's because they know very well that even if you win all the games on the pitch and win all the championships, but you can't keep up with all the supporting facilities off the pitch, then sorry, you can't be considered a giant at all, even if you are a giant, but it's just a short-lived pseudo-giant, just like Chelsea now.
Abramovich is ready to start pocketing again, because he found that he can't do it without paying out of pocket, and the team can't bring in high-level players without it, and the combat effectiveness of the team without high-level players will be affected, and the team's poor results will immediately form a vicious circle, so in the end, Abramovich has to invest money again to operate the transfer.
It is conceivable that it will not be possible for Chelsea to achieve good results in the future without continuing to invest.
Why is this happening?
It was because Chelsea's off-pitch facilities did not keep up with the results, and as soon as the results slipped, they were immediately revealed!
And now Abramovich also has a difficulty, he wants to fire Ancelotti, but the problem is that after firing Ancelotti, all the famous coaches dare not come to pick up the mess of Chelsea, they are even willing to go to Manchester City, to West Ham United, to Newcastle, just not to Chelsea, why?
These are the impressions that Abramovich has made over the past few years.
Even Ye Qiu has a feeling that Chelsea will gradually become a black hole for coaches.

With the support of the City of London, the Borough of Haringey and the Borough of Tottenham, the 2010 North London Christmas Carnival was a huge success, attracting a large number of fans from the UK, Europe and even visitors from all over the world.
Especially with the influence and popularity of Tottenham Hotspur, the news of the Christmas carnival in North London has also spread all over the world, becoming the focus of major newspapers and TV stations.
During the Christmas carnival, Ye Qiu and the coaching staff focused more on the selection of talent days, and this time Tottenham Hotspur also attracted a lot of young players from the United Kingdom and Europe, and also began a program to allow young players from outside Europe who have passed the scouting assessment to come to London to participate in the selection at their own expense.
However, it is a pity that in this selection activity, there are no more 3A genius stars, but it is not too surprising, after all, if one or two 3A talents are produced every year, then Tottenham Hotspur will become a talent concentration camp in the future, and there will be no shortage of superstars in the football world now.
After Christmas, the Premier League has finally ushered in its most intensive Christmas schedule.
Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Birmingham the day after Christmas to take on Aston Villa, but this time Tottenham Hotspur were unaffected by Christmas, beating Aston Villa 3-1 away to make it their eighteenth consecutive win of the season and their 31st unbeaten run.
Another match played on the same day, which was also the highlight of the 19th round, Chelsea's away game against Arsenal, the score was also 3:1, international convention, the home team in front, the away team in the back, Chelsea suffered three consecutive defeats in the devil's schedule.
The defeat dropped Chelsea to eighth place in the league table, and the competition for the entire league looks precarious, not to mention the rhetoric of winning the league title at the beginning of the season, even if it is a top-four Champions League qualification, Chelsea may not have enough chances to win.
Liverpool also suffered defeats in this round, not only the Reds, but also Newcastle and West Ham United also suffered embarrassing defeats or draws, and it is clear that some of the foreign players of these teams are not adapted to the Christmas schedule of the Premier League, which makes them very resistant mentally and physically.
At such a critical moment, whether the team can continue to persist depends on the adjustment and control of the head coach.
Two days later, on December 28, Tottenham Hotspur returned to their home turf and beat Ibrahimovic and Robinho's Newcastle 2-0 thanks to goals from Franck Ribery and Lionel Messi.
Chelsea's form improved this round with a narrow 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers thanks to Didier Drogba's goal.
On 1 January 2011, Tottenham Hotspur hosted a 22nd Premier League away game against Everton, with David Moyes' side drawing at home to Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park thanks to Saha's crucial goal, ending the north London team's winning streak.
After a four-month absence, Tottenham's winning streak came to an end with a second draw of the season, and the final seal was locked at 20 games, the longest winning streak in the history of Europe's top four leagues, but Tottenham's unbeaten streak continues, with 34 games unbeaten so far.
At the weekend, the Premier League ushered in the first game of the FA Cup, and Tottenham Hotspur welcomed London side Charlton Athletic on their home turf, the former Premier League team from London, who were relegated to the Championship and soon relegated to League One, and are still hovering in the third tier, and the possibility of promotion is not very high.
Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup is still according to the previous Ye Qiu's line-up arrangement, with young and substitute lineups mainly to compete in the FA Cup, this time Tottenham Hotspur's young players once again showed satisfactory momentum, Neymar scored twice, Pogba scored a goal, and beat Charlton Athletic 3-0 at home.
Although neither Raul nor Hazzard scored in this game, the performances of both players were very positive, and the combination of Philippe Coutinho and Eriksen in midfield also showed great creativity to help Tottenham Hotspur press in midfield.
After playing the third round of the FA Cup, there was another Carabao Cup semi-final in midweek, and this time Tottenham Hotspur still had a young squad including Neymar, Hazard and Pogba, and the first leg was away to Ipswich, a mid-table side in the Championship.
Maybe it was the continuous fighting, or the poor field of Ipswich, so that Tottenham Hotspur's group of young players did not show enough combat effectiveness on the road, and ended in a 0:1 defeat, which also made many people criticize Ye Qiu, thinking that he was too big, after all, the opponent was a Championship team.
"Let a group of young people around eighteen years old compete with adults in their twenties and thirties, I don't know what Ye Qiu thinks, because in the face of this group of strong adults, the young people of Tottenham Hotspur have no advantage in physical confrontation at all, and their best skills and ball control have been brutally crushed by the opponent."
"Of course, we are not denying the quality of Tottenham Hotspur's young players, after all, this group of players is one of the best new generation of hopefuls in the Premier League today, and they are highly regarded by the outside world, but we must be clear that even so, their physical condition is still very bad when it comes to senior teams."
"At the very least, we saw that Neymar was knocked out of the way when he faced a collision with the opposing centre-back Macaulay."
There are also some media and newspaper comments that Ye Qiu obviously does not pay attention to the League Cup, even if this cup is indeed ranked behind the Premier League and the FA Cup, but it is a cup champion in the end, and the team that wins this championship can participate in the Europa League next season.
"Ye Qiu overestimated the strength of his young players, and also underestimated Ipsvich's desire to participate in the Europa League!"
In an interview with the media, Ye Qiu said that he never denied the physical disadvantages of young players.
"But what I want to say is that in two weeks' time, at White Hart Lane, you're going to continue to see our young players, they're going to be on the pitch, even if they don't play well in the second leg, they're not ideal, but I'm going to do it, and I'm going to start them in the FA Cup!"
"You don't have to ask me why? Because no matter what kind of tactics I arrange, what kind of lineup I start, I have only one purpose, and that is to win! ”
'I also want to take this opportunity to tell the young people in the squad that there is no need to put any pressure on them, no one is responsible for the first leg, the only thing to think about is to learn from the first leg and play well in the second leg and even in the FA Cup, I am confident that you can beat all the opponents!'
"Any player who doesn't have the quality, or the quality of the player, I won't put him in the squad or even put him on the pitch in a Tottenham shirt, so you never have to doubt yourself, all you need to do is, trust me, believe in your teammates!"
Ye Qiu's words attracted a lot of attention, but soon, everyone's attention was attracted by the FIFA Golden Ball Awards ceremony, this time several big-name stars of Tottenham Hotspur's first team went to Zurich to participate in this party, which is also a strong demand of FIFA, otherwise, Ye Qiu would prefer them to stay and prepare for the game with Manchester United.
And Ye Qiu's good friend Van Basten presented the award to the best team, and Tottenham Hotspur has Alves, Thiago? Five players including Silva, Cesc Fabregas, Messi and Franck Ribery were selected, the most of all the teams, followed by Barcelona.
But Ye Qiu lost to Bosque, who led Spain to the World Cup, in the selection of the best men's football coach that followed, which was also expected by the outside world, after all, the aura of the World Cup is indeed too dazzling.
However, the most interesting thing about the award ceremony is who is the winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or?
