Red Rebels

When he first established the scouting department, Xiao Yu was once worried that he would forget the names of some familiar stars after traveling for so long, so he wrote a list of future stars, including Di Maria, Ozil, Thomas Muller and many other stars.

Later, with the improvement of the scouting department, some scouting reports continued to be sent to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu would habitually circle the names of the stars he was familiar with in his previous life, so that the scouting department would pay attention to them. Over time, ’s scouting department has unknowingly grasped the trends of a group of future rising stars a few years from now, and some of them have even been under ’s focus.

Xiao Yu undoubtedly ignored this point. After all, he was not a super computer and could not account for everything. He had no idea that the list he had drawn up would make everyone in the scouting department The staff were all impressed, and even Boyas was full of praise for his vision.

But this list also brought a big trouble, that is, with Xiao Yu retreating behind the scenes, with the decentralization of power in his hands, especially with the victory of the European Champions Cup, the scouting department also began to hoard The rich style of a talented new star.

Ganso, Neymar, the twin brothers Fabio and Rafael, Hamsik, Mamadou Sakho, Jovetic, Lukaku, Defoe, Annan, Fellaini... Xiao Yu first saw the names of the brothers Nimar, Fabio and Rafael in the club's new season training roster. It was a little strange because he had not received any news about the transfer of these three people, so he specially I searched the scouting system and found that their transfer values ​​were very low.

Since Xiao Yu decentralized power, transfers generally not exceeding 5 million pounds can be directly handed over to the Ministry of Commerce for processing without the need to notify Xiao Yu as long as the scouting department negotiates with head coach Mourinho and agrees. .

This made Xiao Yu completely unaware that his club had introduced these three future Brazilian stars without his knowledge, especially Nymar, who was only 13 years old. However, in order to avoid the Brazilian star under the age of 13, the club The rule that 18-year-olds are not allowed to play football abroad takes advantage of another rule in Brazil, that is, if parents go abroad to work, their children can follow them abroad without being restricted by this rule.

In addition, as far as Xiao Yu knows, this rule prohibiting those under 18 from studying abroad does not include the Portuguese League.

When Xiao Yu saw that the club's scouting department actually made signings based on the big list he had written before, and almost all of the most talented rookies in Europe were recruited, this really surprised him.

In the early days of time travel, Xiao Yu did continue to recruit stars for the team, but that was because he knew that the team could not retain players in the lower leagues. However, as he was promoted to the Premier League, as his reputation grew, and as he cultivated As the reputation of young players spreads, the attraction to young players is no longer what it used to be.

What Xiao Yu was worried about at this time was not whether he could poach someone, but whether the player he poached could reach the heights of his previous life.

Judging from the current situation, under the control of Xiao Yuli, the development of the young stars poached is very good. Walcott has performed well in the youth team and is known as the new Henry. His speed and explosive power are very good. But the most commendable thing is that his skills are very good, which is completely different from the little tiger in his previous life.

In addition, the same situation exists for two new English stars, Rodwell and Wilshere, whose development momentum is even better than in their previous lives. Davide Thornton is also trained by the club and is very optimistic about Mourinho.

In addition, the development of the stars who are on loan are also more ideal than in their previous lives. For example, Dzeko was the top three scorers in the English League last season, Joe Hart was the best goalkeeper in the English League last season, and Micah ?Richards was selected into the League One season's best team. These players are young, but they have shown extraordinary potential.

But Xiao Yu has to worry about whether they can continue to develop like this once more players are signed in?

…………………… “Absolutely!”

When Xiao Yu threw his worries to Boyas,

The number one scout in the scouting department and the most popular number one scout in European football today, Boyas answered in the affirmative.

"Being responsible for the players is the business purpose you instill in the club. We have never forgotten it, so we will be responsible for every player we sign. We will do our best to help them grow and improve, while providing Give them the best and most ideal space for development.”

When Xiao Yu heard these words, he was stunned at first, but soon he felt satisfied. Yes, even if he decided to retreat behind the scenes, his influence on this club has already been deeply rooted, and every move of the club has Still implementing his ideas.

"But these players come together in Manchester, can they perform well?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu's words surprised Boyas, "No, no, no, we have no intention of keeping them in the club!"

Xiao Yu was even more surprised. Soon, he saw Boyas handing him a report, which was about the cooperative club.

"After understanding the scouting department and our discussions with Jose and the coaching staff, we all feel that the cooperation model between the team and Benfica is very good. We, Benfica and the players all got the benefits they wanted, and the cost was reasonable. It’s high, but the harvest is ideal.”

After a pause, Boyas continued: "Looking at the whole of Europe, the general success rate of the youth training system is less than 15%. Even if we are the best, the success rate is only 25%. There are even fewer players like Messi, Ismael, Michael Johnson and others who can play the main role in the first team!"

Regarding this, Xiao Yu knows very well that football competition is cruel. It is impossible for all players who enter the youth training camp to become professional players. Only a small number of people have such qualifications, and most of them can only hang out in low levels. league.

It is precisely because the success rate of football youth training is low that Xiao Yu attaches great importance to the cultural education of the youth training academy. The club even expressly stipulates that players who fail the cultural courses will not be allowed to participate in training and competitions. These are all because of the club Based on the consideration of players' lives, even if they cannot play in the professional league in the future, they can continue to study and have a stable job in the future.

For Xiao Yuhe, this is already the limit, and this has made his youth training camp highly sought after by parents and well-known in the football world.

"However, we have seen from Benfica's cooperation model that the success rate is higher, because before that, we fully considered Benfica's needs and brought them center backs and right backs, so Thiago? Silva and Alves can get sufficient game training, plus we and Benfica are doing our best to help the players grow."

"In two years, Thiago Silva has become a famous central defender in Europe and was recruited by AC Milan, and Alves has also developed the ability to play for our first team, and in the past two years, we have explored After gaining experience, I feel that this model can be promoted.”

"Promotion?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Our club has reached an agreement with the Dutch star factory Ajax and the Dutch team Genk to sign a five-year cooperation plan. During these five years, in addition to having the priority to purchase players from these two clubs, we In addition, we will continue the Benfica model with these two clubs!"

During the introduction, Boyas let Xiao Yu see the report he had carefully formulated.

This is the latest big move for the scouting department, which was made after consultations between heads of departments including Walsh, David, Mourinho and Boyas.

The current Ajax and Genk have one thing in common, that is, they are both good at cultivating young players. The former's economic situation has not been very good in recent years, and its huge youth training network requires a huge amount of funds to maintain. This makes Ajax's business even more difficult.

The situation of the Genk team is similar to that of Benfica. They do not have much strength and basically aim to hit the UEFA Cup. They have cooperated with them before, but with the departure of Yaya Toure, the two sides have not cooperated again. However, As the Genk team's performance has declined in recent years, operations have become increasingly difficult, and when they saw that their partner Benfica reached the UEFA Cup final, they took the initiative to seek it out.

For these three cooperative clubs, they help train players. In addition to receiving an additional training fee when the players leave, they also receive an annual fee every year. In addition, they can also share the scouting database. You know, these These are things that countless clubs dream of.

In addition, Genk will also be a partner club that signs non-European players and obtains EU citizenship and labor certificates.

In addition to Pastore, Otamendi and Di Maria going to Benfica, Hamsik, Pato, Ganso, and the powerful defensive midfielder transferred from the Freelancers, a sub-club in Africa. Annan, these four players will be loaned to Ajax. Among them, Pato and Ganso were transferred with Sao Paulo to escape the 18-year-old ban on studying abroad.

Ajax's twin stars Van der Vaart and Sneijder have decided to join Manchester City in the new season. The transfer fee has not been disclosed. It is precisely because of the departure of Van der Vaart and Sneijder that they decided to transfer Hamm. Thicke and Ganso went to Ajax on loan to receive training.

However, it is said that Ajax and Manchester City broke up with this transfer, and the reason was still due to Van Gaal and Arnesen. They contacted Van der Vaart and Sneijder privately, and after reaching an agreement with the players, Putting pressure on the club, Ajax, who originally only planned to let Van der Vaart go, had to accept Sneijder's transfer.

All of a sudden, three leading stars, Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart and Sneijder, were gone. Ajax's strength was damaged. In addition, there were some problems with the club's financial turnover, so in the end Ajax chose to cooperate with After all, the two parties have had a close relationship in the past few years, and Xiao Yu and the Ajax chairman are close friends.

As for the Genk team, they signed Genk's new midfielder Defour at a low price, and then introduced Marouane Fellaini and Contractor from Standard Leeds of Belgium and Partizan Bulgrade of Serbia at a low price. Vitic then introduced Mamadou Sakho and loaned these four players to Genk.

"I have sent technical teams and laboratory staff to Belgium, Portugal and the Netherlands to conduct the most detailed technical and physical examinations for each of our young players on loan. Then we will conduct the most detailed technical and physical examinations for each player based on their characteristics. information, and try our best to develop a complete set of technical and physical strengthening training for them to help them grow and progress!"

“In addition, we all rent players in corresponding positions according to the needs of Genk, Ajax and Benfica. They also promised to give our players enough training opportunities. After all, the players have grown and improved. They also have great benefits!”

Listening to what Boyas said, Xiao Yu thought of Chelsea's original cooperation with PSV. Chelsea bought Alex from Brazil and loaned him to PSV, but later he became a symbol of Although PSV Eindhoven made outstanding contributions to Alex during his time at the club, they did not receive even a tiny bit of compensation after the player left.

As a result, PSV became indifferent to cooperation with Chelsea.

However, although the cooperation model proposed by Boyas is suspected of hoarding stars, it is still very attractive to young players, especially South American and African players, who are eager to land in the European League. The second-level league serves as a stepping stone, which can help them better adapt to the European league.

From another perspective, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan and Juventus, etc., which of these giant teams does not have stars? Which of them doesn't have countless new stars?

Even in the next few years, Barcelona's youth training system will be praised to the sky and the earth, but as everyone knows, there are still countless stars in Barcelona's exile. It is even more unknown how many players have been kidnapped by Barcelona in the name of loyalty and are on the bench. Time is wasted and outstanding football talents are wasted. The most typical example is Herard who is making noises about transferring this season.

On the other hand, the players are on loan, but they still value them, and the club they work for also values ​​them. As long as they are really capable, they can definitely make a name for themselves. Even if they can't play for them, they can go to other teams. It is much better than playing in South America and Africa, or in some other less well-known leagues and teams.

Another point is that Xiao Yu always feels that whether it is a South American player or an African player, it is not a good thing to reach the top in one step!
