Chapter 533 Anxious and Kind Master Yihuan
The investment mentioned by David Bernstein is not only the investment in the club's hardware facilities, nor is it just the investment in software such as talents, but also includes the emphasis on youth team players.
Yang Huan has a philosophy, that is, there are no two identical leaves in the world, and no two identical people.
Although the youth training is theoretically to train batches of professional players in batches as much as possible, it is impossible to require them to be exactly the same, especially with the advent of the Internet age, the phenomenon of early intelligence among young people is very common.
I really don’t think that the post-90s and 00s now can still play with a football all day long like those old-timers in the past. intention to do it.
That is impossible!
Consulting is so developed, what do you not understand, Du Niang or Google, what do you not know?
Therefore, the current youth training should not try to fool around, but must pay attention to the personality of the players and give them appropriate autonomy.
Southampton's approach in this regard is unique in the world.
After all their players, starting from the age of seven, officially become Saints youth training players, everyone can be assigned an Apple tablet computer, which contains a club software, and each player will have a separate files.
The dossier is compiled based on the actual situation of the player when he entered the club.
After the players enter Stapletwood, after their daily training session, after each physical examination, or after each game, even during the injury period, the club will share all kinds of data belonging to them, And their kicking videos are entered into the database.
Based on the data in the database, players can clearly and intuitively understand everything about themselves, such as in which areas they have improved and in which areas they have regressed, whether their bodies have gained weight or lost weight, how they performed in games, etc. .
All of these can be found through computer software.
In the current professional football world, not to mention that most teams have not established such a database, after all, they have invested a lot.
Even if there are very few teams with strong financial resources, they have established databases on youth training players, but basically they are in the hands of the coaching staff, and then the coaching staff will guide the player training after analysis.
in this case,
Players don't know what kind of situation they are in at all, and even in many cases, they will conflict with the coaching staff and reject the training arrangements of the coaching staff when the information is not equal.
But Southampton's approach is to open the data to players to participate, so that players can clearly understand their own situation, participate and even lead their future development direction and goals.
All the coaching staff has to do is to provide professional advice and let the players make reference and choices.
Not only that, Southampton also attaches great importance to communication and contact with players' parents.
There are specialists in the Stapletwood youth training camp who are responsible for interacting with parents. At the same time, they also encourage parents to actively participate in the training of players, become part of the entire youth training system, and understand the players' training, diet and cultural learning. Condition.
Even Southampton will regularly hold some parent training courses to let parents know how they can better help their children grow and progress.
For example, the health and nutrition course, which is very beneficial to the parents themselves, is also the most sought after training course by the parents.
It can be said that this set of concepts of the Southampton youth training system is indeed quite advanced, even subversive.
Because in the past, traditional youth training was controlled by the club.
But now, the participation of players and parents, and the opening of the club have made everything transparent.
Even, this sense of participation and dominance will make players work harder and become more confident.
But behind all this is Southampton's large investment in the youth training system every year.
This is simply unimaginable when the whole world regards youth training as a burden.
More importantly, Southampton's youth training system is too subversive.
Now, if England wants to promote youth training, what should it do first?
Isn't it subversion?
Especially similar to Southampton's subversion that satisfies the youth training, satisfies the players, and satisfies the players' families, and everyone is happy, it is simply the most urgent need of the FA!
Therefore, David Bernstein immediately put on a shy face and asked with a smile: "Young Master Huan? I wonder if you can do me another favor?"
"Help?" Yang Huan looked at the people around him, including Martin Hunter, and almost everyone in the Glorious Revolution's youth training reform team looked embarrassed.
Isn't it?
Whether it is Young Master Huan or Southampton, for England's youth training reform, it can be said that they have contributed money and effort.
Without them, the glorious revolution, what is the revolution?
But it's good now, people have helped so much, you are still not satisfied, and you still have to ask others for help, don't you think it's a bit too much?
But what David Bernstein didn't expect was that Master Huan laughed without hesitation.
"Okay, what's the matter, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help!"
Everyone present immediately gave Master Huan a thumbs up in their hearts!
This Young Master Huan is simply the English football world, oh no, he is the most righteous model boss in professional football in the world!
"We hope to introduce Southampton's youth training system, I don't know..."
At this moment, everyone was embarrassed again, and even David Bernstein himself was a little bit speechless.
Damn it, people said they wanted to help, but you are kind, the lion opened his mouth wide, directly trying to dig people's foundations.
Southampton has invested so much to set up such a youth training system. In a word, do you want to introduce it?
Isn't this someone setting up a stage, are you singing?
Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Young Master Huan pondered for a while, "There is no problem with the introduction, but how much can you invest?"
"Development?" David Bernstein was stunned for a moment.
Although the budget for the Glorious Revolution plan is sufficient, in fact, there are too many places to spend money, and money is needed in almost every aspect.
After this apportionment, there is really not much spare budget.
"Does it take a lot of investment?" David Bernstein asked the question that everyone cared about.
Martin Hunter coughed at this time, nodded and said: "Mr. Bernstein, Southampton has established a youth training system so far, just (one system, at least tens of millions of pounds have been invested in purchasing equipment and developing software systems. , which includes many aspects, especially databases and analysis algorithms."
Tens of millions of pounds?
Everyone present was shocked!
This set of youth training system is high-end and elegant enough, but it costs too much money, right?
But after thinking about it, it's no wonder how much is the whole set of equipment?
So many ultra-high-definition cameras in the Stapletwood training base, are they all decorations?
There is also a computer server. How much hardware and software do you have to invest in processing so much data and video recording?
With such a complete set of high-end equipment, there must be high-level talents, right?
No salary? No bonus money?
Calculated in this way, it seems that the investment is really amazing!
"The investment is nothing, and the annual employee and system maintenance costs are also a considerable expense, at least two to three million pounds!" What Martin Hunter said is basically reliable.
It's just a little exaggerated!
But this time David Bernstein immediately wanted to back down.
What the FA lacks most is money. Although there is a Glorious Revolution plan, he can't help spending that money.
At this moment, in the eyes of David Bernstein and others, Southampton's youth training system is the best Bai Fumei, as long as they have money, they can marry home, but they can't help but be shy dicks!
Just when David Bernstein and others were depressed, Martin Hunter changed the subject.
"Actually, I don't think it is necessary to introduce the whole system. Now that Internet technology is so developed, we can use Southampton's system to analyze our data. In this way, we don't need much investment, but we can also get close to The effect of Southampton's youth system."
That's what Southampton are currently doing with Monaco and Atletico Madrid.
Not only the youth training system, but also the scouting system are also integrating and opening up the database.
When David Bernstein heard it, his eyes lit up. Is there such a good thing?
It seems to have the same meaning as renting a server from another website!
Yang Huan frowned when he heard this, "In this way, you can save a lot of investment and maintenance costs, but the operating costs of our Southampton system will increase. I'm afraid..."
"Master Huan, don't worry, we will definitely not let you suffer!" David Bernstein immediately made an additional promise.
There are too many ways to prevent Southampton from suffering, such as the schedule...
Although the FA has no money, it still has a lot of power.
Yang Huan thought about it again, nodded and said: "Okay, help people to the end, and send the Buddha to the West!"
After finishing speaking, Master Huan slapped his thigh, "Okay, I agree to this matter!"
In fact, Young Master Huan is secretly happy at this moment!
The reason is simple. In this way, St. George has become one of the sub-stations for data collection by the Southampton youth training system.
You must know that St. George's is the youth training center of England, and the goal is Clairefontaine. In the future, the most outstanding young rookies of all ages in the UK will be gathered here to train with national teams at all levels.
Once Southampton has control of this set of data, doesn't that mean that they can clearly grasp the detailed data of all rookies and international players in England without spending a penny?
With this set of data, Southampton will have an astonishing accuracy in introducing young rookies and local players. Now that the number of local players is so valuable, this alone can guarantee Southampton will make a lot of money!
But who is Young Master Huan, his emotions and anger are invisible.
Even if I was overjoyed in my heart, I still had to put on a show on the surface, giving people the feeling that I had suffered a big loss.
Especially when David Bernstein suggested that it is best not to mention Southampton in public, but to say that the FA and the Glorious Revolution youth training reform team are determined to build such a system.
Who doesn't know, so to speak, that David Bernstein takes a lot of credit as chairman of the FA?
But Master Huan hesitated for a while, and finally agreed after David Bernstein's desperate request, but he also proposed a lot of invisible conditions that are beneficial to Southampton.
In front of David Bernstein's cheerful expression, as if he went out to pick up gold, Master Huan really sighed.
What is this?
He was sold, and he cheerfully helped count the money!
Sure enough, technology is the primary productive force!
When the two bigwigs in the stands negotiated a private deal, the football match on the field had already started on time.
From the beginning of the game, the two sides launched a fierce competition for the midfield.
What's interesting is that in this game, both Bielsa and Wenger used an organizational midfielder as a dragging midfielder.
Southampton is Toni Kroos, Arsenal is Arteta.
It was clear that both teams wanted to take control of midfield from the start.
Sitting at home, Southampton actively pressed and pressed after the opening, and played high defense very skillfully.
In particular, James Rodriguez, who replaced Modric in the starting lineup, mentioned the generation behind center Drogba in front of the position. The two of them simultaneously oppressed Arsenal's two central defenders Koscielny and Mertesacker. .
Its purpose is to firmly suppress Arsenal from the very beginning!
