Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The game was a success, and the team was in a state of panic.

Sure enough, in the 21st round of the Premier League three days later, Arsenal won, Manchester United was tied, and the top spot changed again.

Now the media that had been jumping around in the past two days are silent again.

Yang Luo couldn't help but smile. Arsenal's strength this year is obviously higher than others, and winning the championship is inevitable.

And Manchester City also maintained its good form, defeating Portsmouth 2-1 away, and continued its journey to compete for the top four.

People who questioned Manchester City have gradually disappeared, and even David Jones dared not write about Manchester City in his column.

This time Yang Luo suddenly felt a little bored.

So he set his sights on the youth training camp.

He found Van Gaal and consulted him about the construction of the youth training camp.

Yang Luo's goal for Manchester City is not just a local tycoon team, he wants to build Manchester City into the world's best sustainable development giant.

And this top youth training boss has worked in two top youth training clubs, Ajax and Barcelona, ​​and has very unique insights and experience in the construction of youth training camps.

Since the team's training facilities and youth training facilities have been upgraded, the Dutch coach has no doubts about the boss's intention to do a good job in youth training.

So he did not hesitate to use his connections and experience: "Mr. Yang, I think there are some differences between the two youth training camps. Because Ajax pays more attention to the stimulation of the players' own characteristics, while Barcelona's youth training is more inclined to a directional training based on the offensive system. Of course, the concepts of the two clubs are almost the same, because this is derived from the imprint left by Mr. Cruyff on the youth training of the two clubs."

Yang Luo remembered that the Dutch coach seemed to be very incompatible with Cruyff, but he still generously acknowledged Cruyff's achievements in front of Yang Luo, which at least shows that Van Gaal is quite upright.

The purpose of Yang Luo's conversation with him was to ask him for advice, so he said: "Mr. Van Gaal, if I want to make Manchester City's youth training camp into a top youth training camp like Ajax or Barcelona, ​​what should I do?"

Van Gaal thought for a while: "I suggest setting up a data analysis team first to conduct a comprehensive analysis and record of the players' development and performance to guide the development of the players."

Yang Luo was a little surprised. He didn't expect his idea to be quite advanced.

However, in the Premier League 20 years later, an example of building a very combat-capable team through a data analysis team has appeared.

That is Brighton.

The data analysis team of this team is very strong, and can constantly discover super players for training. On the premise of maintaining the team's combat effectiveness, it can continuously export high-priced players to a group of teams that are fooled.

With such an example in front of him, Yang Luo must support Van Gaal's idea.

Moreover, Fiona's research direction in school is now more focused on football data analysis, and she can be responsible for this area in the future.

Yang Luo also asked Van Gaal to use his connections to bring back a few talents from Ajax, and Lao Fan agreed.

His level of connections should not be wasted.

So on the next day, Yang Luo drove Bernstein to the University of Central Lancashire.

He intended to let Phil Johnson take the lead in the data analysis of the youth training camp, and by the way, he could do some practical activities for his students.

So he pulled Bernstein, his good friend, over and asked him to act as a lobbyist.

As soon as the two old men met, they started to joke around. It turned out that they had a very good relationship.

But when he heard that he was going to work part-time as the head of the data analysis team, Phil Johnson immediately shook his head: "My old body still wants me to run around, that's really killing me. David, you know, I changed my career to become a professor because the work was too hard."

Bernstein nodded knowingly: "That's true. But since we are here, you have to contribute something, right?"

Phil Johnson glared at him: "Why are you still the same as when you were young? You won't talk unless you take advantage of me. Last time we had a drink, you took the girl I liked away first, and we haven't settled the account yet."

Bernstein quickly covered his mouth, and then looked at Yang Luo with embarrassment.

Yang Luo laughed in his heart, these two old men actually went to drink a drink?

Seeing his joking look, Bernstein quickly explained: "This... we are going to talk about work

, talk about work. "

Phil Johnson opened his hand: "What's wrong with that? Drinking and chatting about life, isn't it very happy?"

Yang Luo raised his eyebrows, thinking that you can talk, but why don't you take me to see it...

Of course, they quickly got back to the point.

Phil Johnson scratched his head: "Now I have a very talented student under my command. He is now writing a doctoral thesis. He can be responsible for the data analysis of Manchester City players. It's just..."

Yang Luo asked: "What's wrong?"

Phil Johnson frowned: "He is a little too introverted, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on the responsibility of leading a team."

Yang Luo's eyes lit up. Isn't this the talent I'm looking for?

Can work and not fight for power, this is a socialist screw!

If his junior sister Fiona takes over the data analysis team, then he will also be her direct line, for sure!

So he waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, as long as the ability is strong enough, it's okay if you are not good at communication. "

Phil Johnson nodded, walked out the door, and soon brought in Fiona and a skinny white guy.

Fiona winked at Yang Luo and smiled widely.

Seeing this, Bernstein looked at Yang Luo with a smirk.

Phil Johnson introduced: "This is one of my most proud disciples, Kevin Sanders."

Yang Luo nodded at him: "Hello."

Kevin Sanders was a little embarrassed and just nodded.

Fiona on the side quickly said: "Brother, please go over and sit down. "

Kevin Saunders then walked over carefully and sat opposite Yang Luo.

Fiona took two steps at a time and sat down next to Yang Luo happily.

Phil Johnson wanted Kevin Saunders to introduce himself, but he was too introverted and stuttered as soon as he opened his mouth.

Helpless, he could only let Fiona convey it on his behalf.

Fiona praised: "Brother Phil designed a set of mathematical analysis models by himself, which can decompose the performance of players in a very detailed way. And he will adjust the parameters according to the age and development status of the players to meet the analysis requirements of different age groups."

Phil Johnson added: "This is also the content of his thesis."

Fiona pulled Yang Luo's arm: "If you want to form a data analysis team for the team, then my brother Phil is undoubtedly the first choice. "
