Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The new season is coming.

Three days after playing Chelsea, Manchester City ushered in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, away to Fulham.

Because of the fierce battle in the previous game, Van Gaal sent a substitute lineup.

Facing the opponent with all the main players, Manchester City finally lost to the opponent 1-2 and stopped in the quarterfinals.

Fortunately, the FA Cup itself is not a particularly important game for Manchester City. Manchester City still has to keep the Champions League quota, which is the most important thing.

Now Manchester City is fourth in the league, 15 points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool. With eleven rounds left, this is already a relatively large lead.

But Van Gaal has another goal, which is to get the top three in the league and directly advance to the Champions League.

Although he lost the last head-on confrontation with Chelsea, he is still full of confidence.

After the FA Cup game, there will be an international match day.

At this time, Phil Johnson brought Kevin Saunders and Fiona to Manchester City Club.

They will use Manchester City's youth players to improve some of their research data.

Yang Luo naturally wanted to see how much weight Kevin Saunders had, so after ensuring that the data would not be leaked, he let them stay with the youth team for about ten days.

Since Yang Luo was still accumulating his own training hours for the examination, he often stayed in the youth training camp.

Every day he watched Kevin Saunders holding a laptop and turning around there, and he didn't know what he was counting.

Yang Luo wanted to see what was in his computer, but he finally held back.

He also asked Fiona, but Fiona shook her head, saying that she didn't fully understand the brain circuit of this senior brother.

Ten days later, Phil Johnson found Bernstein and Yang Luo: "Thank you for the data you provided. I think Kevin can complete his paper."

Yang Luo was very curious: "Tell us about your results?"

Phil Johnson brought Kevin Sanders over: "Kevin, tell Mr. Yang and others about your analysis results?"

Kevin Sanders got a pair of big black-framed glasses from somewhere and put them on his face. He adjusted the frame of the glasses and looked at Yang Luo a little stiffly: "Mr. Yang, I... I did make some discoveries."

Yang Luo was interested: "Saunders, tell us!"

Saunders left He consciously looked at his mentor and junior sister, and saw that they gave him encouraging eyes, and then he said: "Now Manchester City's youth training camp is somewhat different from the traditional English youth training camp, and has higher requirements for the technical and tactical adaptability of players. Based on this requirement, the two best players in U23 are undoubtedly Fabregas and Messi who skipped grades."

He said so much in one breath, and he was a little uncomfortable. He looked at Yang Luo who was nodding, and then continued: "And these two players will have the ability to play in the first team in the near future."

Yang Luo raised his eyebrows, and his vision was not bad.

But he still asked: "Which of these two players do you think is better?"

Sanders did not hesitate: "Messi."

Bernstein was also interested when he heard it: "Oh?"

Fabregas and Messi are very talented. This is the consensus of everyone, but most coaches generally favor Fabregas because his playing style is quite mature and his body is more like a normal person.

As for Messi, although his dribbling ability is quite impressive, can a child who can barely reach 1.6 meters tall with the help of growth hormone withstand the confrontation of the adult group?

Moreover, he relies too much on dribbling when playing football, which will put a lot of pressure on his knees and ankles.

Bernstein always believed that Yang Luo's deal would lose money.

However, he felt that it was not too bad to buy Fabregas for 20 million pounds.

Yang Luo couldn't help asking: "Sanders, why do you think Messi has more prospects?"

Sanders pushed the computer in front of him: "According to my statistics, the moving distance and displacement of the center of gravity of Messi's entire body for each dribbling are less than those of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, and his center of gravity is lower, so his consumption will be much less than these players."

Yang Luo couldn't help but become interested. This is a relatively novel angle.

He nodded: "Go on."

Sanders continued: "And

He has a strong learning ability and is much better than the average player in accepting new skills. So he will definitely be more than just a wing player in the future. "

Yang Luo couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

What he said was completely correct!

I didn't expect that this taciturn guy had something.

So he continued to ask: "What about the youth training team at the next level?"

Sanders thought for a while: "Micah Richards of U18 and Sturridge of U16 are both good players."

Yang Luo nodded involuntarily. This was also the consensus of their youth training coaches. These two players were the team's local talents.

However, Sanders hesitated for a moment and said another name: "There is also a young man named Trippier. Under certain circumstances, I am very optimistic about him. "

Yang Luo was completely shocked.

You know, Trippier is struggling in Manchester City's youth training camp. He is not physically fit enough as a right winger, which makes many youth training coaches not optimistic about his future.

Although Yang Luo suggested that he play as a right back, his current positional sense is very poor, which makes the youth training coaches not optimistic about his prospects as a right back.

In fact, Trippier played in the English Championship for several years before slowly gaining the favor of big teams.

Now, Sanders directly expressed that he is very optimistic about him.

Yang Luo couldn't help but be curious: "Why?"

Sanders called up his data: "Good toughness, good footwork, the only thing he lacks is a sense of position. If England's tactical system continues to move closer to the European continent, he will be an excellent offensive defender. "

Yang Luo couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

This taciturn guy does have something.

Nowadays, more and more European coaches have appeared in the coaching seats of the Premier League. What they bring will slowly subvert the traditional 442 of England, and the players will also be given more game responsibilities.

And players like Trippier who transformed from wing forward to full back will gradually play their strengths in the game.

But now he is just a piece of dusty gem.

However, Sanders can find this, which shows that his vision is also very good.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder: "Sanders, after you graduate, you must join my team immediately!"
