Ballardi said Parma's youth academy could complement the defence for a reason.

Parma's youth training has always been good, and the number of players is quite high. In their forward line, Gilardino has just been sold, but there is also Rossi, and in the youth team, Paboni is also a player to watch in the whole of Serie A. On the midfield line, Baroni is home-owned, and he went around elsewhere and came back, Donadaire got it from Milan, but it was the same no ball to play, and in the youth team, there are also Rosina, Polcari and other players who have attracted the attention of Milan. And in addition to them, on the back line, Ferrari has been sold, Bonella is going to be sold, Cannavaro Jr. is playing, and now, there are Feronetti and others, and even the goalkeeper has a national youth Virkili, so Balaldi also feels that the team can still hold on.

A team with good youth training always has some confidence. The 30-man squad of the Italian youth team, Parma and Roma have 15 players, and all the remaining teams have 15 players, and the results of this youth training are the reasons why Parma and Roma have survived the economic crisis.

However, for Balaldi's pride, Li Bin just shook his head, "I know their level, sell them to supplement the finances, don't expect them to play." ”

"The whole world is paying attention to them, and Paboni gave 176 potential ...... in the Englishman's FM game."

"Are you serious about the game? What level are they, don't you know the way? Even if you don't know the road, what is the strength of our youth training investment, you don't know the road? ”

These words made Balaldi blush, and he lowered his head.

The whole world is shouting that youth training is good, engaging in youth training, and fools know that it is more economical to train a genius by themselves than to buy a genius, but there are not many people who really engage in youth training. For what? In fact, to put it bluntly, there is one reason: investment.

Youth training work is to be invested, from the inspection of players, to player training, to the physical therapy of players, injuries, care, to hardware facilities, all aspects are to invest a lot of money. The amount of investment in a team's youth training largely determines the level of the team's youth training. Investing in a large team will have a high natural return, and investing in a small team will have a poor natural return. In the Italian youth training, it is recognized that the largest investment is the youth academy of Inter Milan, their annual investment amount has reached about 6 million euros, and the total investment in the youth training of the whole Italy has just reached 30 million euros.

However, Inter Milan's strength is only the best in Italy. In fact, Li Binzhidao's team, not to mention the big team, Le Havre in the French league has a one-year youth training investment of about 6 million, while Lyon, Toulouse and other teams insist on an investment of more than 10 million all year round. The talents produced in Ligue 1 are not always popped out of the cracks in the stones, but practiced by people who get what they pay for.

As for the two giants of La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid, the world's youth training ranks first and second all year round, not to mention, their annual youth training expenses are not even less than 20 million euros.

Youth training is not something that can be done with a touch of the upper and lower mouths, and it is always necessary to invest in industry. Even if you don't talk about the selection of materials, training equipment, venues, and logistics, you have to spend money. To put it simply, do you want a geothermal system? Is the training ground repaired? How do you build a bath in the bathroom? Which is not a pile of money? If you don't have money, you still want to engage in youth training, and if you don't invest, you just look forward to producing results, talents, and making money.

The Serie A team has a big business, but that doesn't mean that there is a lot of investment. In the whole of Italy, only one Inter Milan can come up with funds comparable to Le Havre in Ligue 1, and the investment in Serie A is a little more than that of Real Madrid. In the final analysis, the decline of Serie A is due to poverty.

No hard work, no gain, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Lyon, the youth training of the three giants occupies the top three in the world, is it not because of the money? Unwilling to spend money, naturally there is nothing, if you want to talk about the heritage, who can compare to Ajax? From the board of directors to the coaching staff, the entire football hall of fame, but without investment, isn't the youth training a bad brand? Just buying low and selling high to make the difference is not a way after all.

It's the same with Parma, at the end of the day, the lack of money is a big problem. A few years ago, it was good to invest 1.5 million yuan a year in a poor year, what kind of talent can you talk about?

Some people may say that even if the investment is only 1.5 million, it is not a lot.

Well, for the time being, when buying some well-known little talents, maybe a person has to throw hundreds of thousands, even if 1.5 million is invested in players, how much will it be?

According to the classification of the Italian youth league, the youth league is divided into six levels, and each level is calculated according to the number of 30-person team registrations, which has 180 people. In this way, the money spent on each player is less than 10,000 euros.

In fact, the number of 180 people is far from stopping. For example, Juventus has about 270 youth players, and Inter Milan also has more than 200 people. Is it a lot? Not much. Barcelona's approach, but the youth training is divided into eleven stages, and there are three teams in each stage ABC, how many people are counted? Compared to them, the number of Italian youth players is already very small.

Different investments lead to different methods of material selection. Inter Milan and Parma, like Inter Milan and Parma, contact football schools, get information directly from the coach, and then screen players, Milan has little investment, can only take out a sum of money to hold a football training match in the summer, and select players from the remaining players selected by others, the difference in the strength of their players is naturally very large. Therefore, in recent years, Parma has come out of Gilardino, Giuseppe Rossi, and Bonella, and Inter Milan has a wider range of materials, with Martins and Adriano appearing, and Milan's youth ...... Matri seems to have been the most successful......

What's more, everyone also has an unspeakable reason: the top three in the north are too capable of poaching people, and whoever has a good player, they will immediately poach people. Sometimes, they have a bit of a conscience and keep a few dollars, but more often they don't even have a little money left - anyway, their team is so attractive that they can seduce people without paying.

Inter Juventus is slightly better, people want the face of the giants, as for Milan's Galliani...... this thing, his old man doesn't want it for a long time.

The result of this is that there is neither any face nor any benefit from engaging in youth training, so who still plays?

And Italy's youth academy, the strongest teams, in addition to Inter Milan, are Parma, Atalanta, Juventus and Roma.

The reason for Inter's success is that there is money. They are willing to invest in youth training, so youth training does produce talent. Of course, they started late, in 2001, they started to invest heavily in the academy, with Da Baresi in charge of their academy, and it will have to wait a few years to produce talent.

Parma's youth training is strong, relying on nearly 100 football schools all over Italy, and 300 football schools in the world, which have a huge network of relationships and can also select talents. Atlanta is strong, is a special geographical location, they are north of the Alps, belongs to the mountainous area, the children's athletic talent in the mountains is indeed good, which makes their youth training, has unique conditions, over time, it has formed a tradition. Roma relied on the ability of their youth director Bardini to support the academy - but now, this Mr. Bardini has been poached by Real Madrid, and the Roma academy has collapsed.

Of course, in addition to these three, Li Bin seems that Juventus can barely be regarded as okay. In the era of the old Agnelli, they left the most complete youth training system in the entire Serie A, although after the death of the old Agnelli, who was called a lawyer, their investment became less and less day by day, but the foundation is still there, after all, it is okay. At least, in the Viareggio Cup, they have also won three times in a row.

As for Milan's academy...... Li Bin could only say twice. When a team is full of descendants of Seedorf, Ancelotti, Maldini, Weah, Messitaryan and others, the team's youth training has become a favor deal, what else to talk about youth training? In this way, it is no wonder that Kaka's eyes are hot, and he has to send his waste brother Degan to cheat a salary. Many people are scolding Kaka for coveting the 1 million, but in fact, Kaka just follows the consistent practice of Milan youth training.

Italy's youth training is in a slump, and the general environment is like this, so small teams don't expect any defenders. Even Chiellini, who has the best skills among Serie A defenders, is completely rough compared to Nesta and Cannavaro's generation, not to mention others? These people are really not of much value in training, so Li Bin's view on youth training is: it is better to deal with them as soon as possible and exchange them for money.

As for your own line of defense, it's better to buy someone else. Balaldi felt that the defenders could insert a few academy players, and Li Bin was not prepared to do so.

"According to my thinking, except for Cannavaro Jr., there are several other positions that have to be replaced. But now depending on our financial resources, then it is better for Zim Bonda to be kept. However, I am afraid that Dossena's speed is not suitable for playing in a back four, so I am thinking about substitution. ”

"I guess this, first of all, I still have to go to Turin." Li Bin said, "First, I will discuss with Moggi about the loan of Tacinadi, and then I have to try to sign Quagliarella in Turin and their left-back Barzaretti. He's a good player, and he's a homegrown player, it wasn't too expensive to play in the second division last season, Torino went bankrupt and now he's a free player, I've got to get him, and the money can be saved. ”

Torino also managed to get promoted last season, but they were also unfortunate because they didn't have the money to get promoted. Their financial crisis caused Barzaretti's contract to be terminated, and now it is not a lot to stare at Balzaretti's team, so Li Bin also made a decision to go over and see for himself, after all, it is still very difficult to bring in such a thing as free reinforcements, if you don't put your attitude in place.

"And then we need a panacea at the back to play on the bench, he doesn't need to be too strong, but he has to be able to play multiple positions. I thought about going to La Liga to see if Real Madrid's academy captain Arbeloa could buy it, but I don't think it's likely, we don't have a relationship with Real Madrid after all. So, I'll take a look and talk about it, and if it doesn't work, I'll find someone else. ”

"Then, Argentine defender Campergnaro, you know what he said, right? If you play in Piacenza and ask for the price, if it is suitable, you will buy it as a substitute, and if it is not suitable, I will also think about finding it from Juventus, and Lerotalje seems to be also on loan. However, as for the main central defender, I have another candidate. I have three people in my eye, Danny Agger from Denmark, Thiago Silva from Russia and Vincent Kompany from the Belgian league. But Kompany is on the Golden Boy award list, I'm afraid that I can't get it without 10 million, and we don't have any friendship in the Danish league, I don't know if it's good to buy, although Thiago Silva is good, but I heard that he is sick...... I'll take a closer look, and it won't exceed expectations. Li Bin shook his head and said, "Originally, I was planning to buy a main right-back who knows how to attack better, but now it seems that let's pause for a while, Zim Bonda can make do with it, and see if we can have enough money left." ”

Balaldi nodded, "These don't add up, it's really not much." If we have 20 million, it is indeed enough. ”

"Don't be too optimistic, buy another striker, buy a substitute goalkeeper, and it's all over. However, the goalkeeper may be able to be loaned, isn't Milan's Abbiati on loan, we can try, if not, we can rent Handanovic from Udinese, but the front midfielder ......"

"As for the front midfield, I have a choice." Balaldi looked up and spoke, "You should know that Rui Costa has one year left on his contract. ”
