Chapter 590 Little Monster

The major Premier League teams all petitioned the FA and the Premier League to suspend the local support policy, which quickly occupied the front pages of major newspapers in the UK and even Europe. This is obviously not the first time a Premier League team has rebelled. .

In fact, as early as the past era of English League One, it was because of the distribution of interests and the dissatisfaction of England's top teams with the management model of the Football Association that they finally completed a revolutionary rebellion with the help of Sky TV. Only then did the Premier League come into existence, and after the birth of the Premier League, the FA looked more like a burden and a puppet.

But it is obvious that with the popularity of the Premier League football market in recent years and the rapid increase of the Premier League's influence in the global market, coupled with the rapid development of several Premier League teams led by Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in the Champions League, Such dominance means that whether it is FIFA, UEFA or the Football Association, they all hope to get some benefits from it and suppress the spirit of the Premier League.

But this time, the owners and senior management of the 20 Premier League teams all made their voices heard in unison. They wrote letters and analyzed the problems of this new policy in various aspects through the media. The two most serious problems are that it violates the EU's Constitution, and will seriously hinder the development of the Premier League.

The Premier League, which represents the interests of Premier League teams, also responded quickly this time. They said that they have not received any news about the FA supporting local youth training, but if it is true, then they will be very serious. Consider the impact this new policy will have on the development of the Premier League and the Premier League teams.

The Premier League's CEO, Scudmore, also said that he would personally go to the Football Association's headquarters in Soho to understand the situation. However, he repeatedly emphasized that this is an internal issue within English football and has nothing to do with FIFA and UEFA. The Football Federation has little to do with it.

As England's thorns took the lead in making their voices heard, more and more teams from other European leagues have also issued their own appeals. After all, for leagues including the Netherlands, France, Portugal, Belgium and other countries, they are now They are all positioned as human traffickers, that is to say, they introduce or train cheap players, cultivate and train them into talents, and then send them to the four major leagues to play in the middle in exchange for a high price difference.

Many people have only noticed a few teams such as Porto and Ajax in the past few years, but in fact they have not noticed. In fact, teams in the leagues of Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries basically follow this path. , but the news media only focus on big deals, or deals between well-known players and teams.

Under this circumstance, if the 6+5 policy is fully implemented in Europe, it will almost be a disaster for some teams, including Porto and Ajax, because it is impossible for them to meet these requirements, and if To allow themselves to meet this requirement, it means that they must give up the interests and relationships they have accumulated over the past few years.

So, soon, what was originally just a rebellion by the Premier League teams against the FA soon set off a wave in European football. More and more teams came out to protest the legality of this new policy. After all, In the EU constitution, such a rule is not allowed at all. If Europe does not implement it, does it make sense whether other continents will implement it?

In less than a few days, the entire European football world and even the world's football world were in turmoil. In such a wave, Tottenham Hotspur's second tournament, which should have attracted much attention from the outside world, The Genius Day selection event was completely reduced to a supporting role. Only some newspapers in the UK paid some attention to it, but almost none of the newspapers in other countries reported it.

Regarding this situation, both Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur are happier, because the less people pay attention to it, the more beneficial it is to Tottenham Hotspur. After all, they are all young players. If they are always ignored by others, Being stared at makes me feel uncomfortable no matter what.

This time the Genius Day selection event was held for three days. Originally, there were only more than 20 players from outside the UK. However, under the strong recommendation of Peter Devissell, several more special rookies were finally added. Special because the oldest among them is already fifteen years old, but de Visser highly recommends it.

Genius Day is one of the ways for Ye Qiu to select an endless stream of youth training talents for Tottenham Hotspur, because he knows very well that his foresight can only be maintained until 2013 at best, which is when he traveled through time. After he traveled through time, he began to have a dark eye on who was more talented and who could become a talent.

Under such circumstances, how to ensure Tottenham Hotspur's continued development and success?

The endless stream of youth talent is undoubtedly the key, and the selection of talent day is to fill the vacancies in the youth camp.

With Tottenham Hotspur's strong influence and appeal, it continuously attracts all kinds of talents from all over the world to come to London and join the Theobald Youth Training Camp, and then through internal competition and coaches The carving and cultivation of the team will then provide the first team with outstanding youth training talents, fill the first team's strength, and then achieve a virtuous cycle.

Of course, this is theoretical. In fact, to achieve this, a lot of things need to be done.

Because the first team has started pre-season training, although many international players who participated in the World Cup in South Africa have not yet returned to the team, players including Neymar, Coutinho, Lucas Moura and other players have come to Theobald, so Ye Qiu attaches great importance to pre-season training. Coupled with the New Deal matters, he is in meetings and making phone calls all day long, making Ye Qiu very busy.

So much so that Ye Qiu simply handed over the entire Genius Day selection event to Rick Link and Devissell, while he organized several first-team stars to attend the event on the first day of Genius Day. He went to the scene for a walk and then left it alone. After all, he really couldn't intervene in so many things by himself.

Especially considering that the team is now receiving strong poaching from the outside world, the operation of the transfer market is also very important.

Three days later, when the Genius Day selection event ended, Ye Qiu got a list from Rick Link and Peter Dewisel. Ye Qiu did not intend to express any opinions on the list, but just scanned it roughly. , he actually saw a few familiar names.

"Larsson?" Ye Qiu's first impression was of the old monster Henrik Larsson from Sweden. This was a player he liked very much in his previous life, but after time travel, he could not put all the players he liked into his own. players were all brought to play for him, so Larson missed him.

But this little player is obviously not Henrik Larsson, which is absolutely impossible, but is called Jordan Larsson.

Because he liked Henrik Larsson in his previous life, Ye Qiu knew that the old Swedish monster's son was named Jordan.

Born in 1997, he is now no more than 13 years old. He is from Sweden. Both Devisel and Rick Linke also have very high evaluations of him. They think that this forward player has very good skills, mainly because of his very solid basic skills and physical fitness. Relatively thin, but in training and games, he showed much higher intelligence in running without the ball than his peers.

The little monster's ability is similar to that of Henrik Larsson, and the Swedish old monster's ability to run without the ball is also quite good.

"He is the son of Henrik Larsson, who played for Feyenoord but I was in contact with him long before he came to Holland but then he joined Feyenoord, and after retiring last year, his son has been training in a team in Sweden’s lower leagues, and he himself is responsible for teaching his son to play football.”

Hearing what Devisel said, Ye Qiu understood that Jordan Larson's techniques and basic skills were carved by professional players, so they were so solid and practical, so he laughed. "Then it should be you who convinced Henrik Larson. Otherwise, at the age of thirteen, they would be willing to let their son come to London alone?"

"You have underestimated the appeal of Tottenham Hotspur and St. Mary's School!" De Visser laughed after hearing this.

Tottenham Hotspur's ability to cultivate young players, especially the ability of head coach Ye Qiu, has become a signature in the past. I don't know how many people hope to enter this youth training camp, just like all No one can resist Detok Mostert from Ajax or La Masia from Barcelona.

St. Mary's School is also famous in the UK, and British education is also famous around the world. Young players can receive training and learn cultural courses in such an environment, which is a great thing for any parent. Great temptation.

Although London and Sweden are in different countries, they are actually not far apart and can be reached in a short time by plane.

After Ye Qiu heard this, he continued to look down. What he saw was Callum Chambers, who was imported from Southampton, playing right back. Young central defender Jedvich was imported from Croatia, and he was imported from Nice, France. The imported 14-year-old Neil Mupe, who has dual nationality from Argentina and France.

But what really surprised Ye Qiu was that in De Visser's report, another player with three A's in ball ability appeared, that is, the Belgian and Brazilian duo from the Eindhoven youth academy in the Netherlands. Nationality, young player Andreas Pereira, only fourteen years old.

This is also the first time that De Visser recommended a player from his old club to Tottenham Hotspur after he came to Tottenham Hotspur. Before, he felt that Pereira still needed to continue to observe, but now he feels that this player The player's future is bright and he has the opportunity to grow into a phenomenal player, provided he continues to maintain this momentum.

Of course, De Viesel will not cheat PSV. Tottenham Hotspur will pay a training fee of up to 500,000 euros for this. According to Pereira's recruitment to the Netherlands by PSV, it will be exactly five years. Years of time, a year's training fee of exactly 100,000 euros, PSV can be considered a profit.

But later in the report, Devisser recommended a young midfielder from Belgium, Adnan Januzaj.

The name Ye Qiu is familiar, because he was at Manchester United in his previous life, and he and Morrison, who has a bad temper and a bit of a weird personality, are known as the most outstanding twin stars in Manchester United's youth training camp.

But in the end, because of character issues, Manchester United gave up Morrison, whose talent and talent even surpassed Januzaj, and chose the Belgian midfielder instead. Januzaj's performance at Manchester United was also quite satisfactory. of.

"This was recommended to me by Yang. I personally went to Belgium to watch him train and play. I think it's worth considering!" De Visser said with a smile. He didn't know that Ye Qiu knew Januzai, but he just felt that Ye Qiu seemed to be surprised that there were two Belgians on the list and both were highly praised.

"In recent years, Belgium has seen a surge in young players, from Kompany, the Hazard brothers to Fellaini, Defour and Lukaku, who are all very outstanding young players. Januzai will be a rising star. In addition, we also invited a thirteen-year-old midfielder Youri Tielemans from Anderlecht to participate in the team selection, but unfortunately, his performance was not ideal."

Ye Qiu followed De Visser's introduction and saw this thirteen-year-old Portuguese midfielder at the end of the report. He was also from Anderlecht. His father was Belgian and his mother was from Congo. He was a mixed-race child. De Visser valued him for his handsomeness in the midfield, his broad vision, his ability to pass with both feet, and his good defensive ability.

"Then sign him!" Ye Qiu knew that De Visser would not easily do such things that violate the rules of the game, but if he really did it, it meant that he really thought this kid had great prospects.

The Talent Day selection event may not be able to fully represent everything. After all, in many cases, young players may not be able to truly show their strength in three days. For example, Tottenham Hotspur selected a 15-year-old local rookie who participated in the Talent Day selection last year but was eliminated.

Will Hughes from Derby County, who just turned 15, was not highly rated in the Christmas Talent Day selection before, but this time De Visser recommended him again and made an exception to allow him to participate in the selection again. As a result, he performed very well.

Will Hughes is not the type of midfielder whose technical moves make people feel dazzled. He belongs to the type that is very simple but very reasonable, decisive in passing the ball, not dragging his feet, and has a very wide field of vision. And a very important point is that he is very good with both feet.

Ye Qiu likes players who are good at both feet, so in his team, players who are good at one foot will be asked to practice the other foot. The reason is simple. Ye Qiu thinks that players with both feet have more advantages, so a very important part of Tottenham Hotspur's youth training camp is double-foot training.

Tottenham Hotspur's selection seems to be a bit arbitrary, but this is because all the players participating in the selection have basically been sorted out by the scout team, that is, those players who have no intention will not receive an invitation, and many talented players have directly rejected Tottenham Hotspur's invitation.

For example, Morrison, a young player who plays for Manchester United, De Visser is very optimistic about this young player and thinks he is a top talent of the type of Gascoigne, but the problem is that he almost did not hesitate to reject Tottenham Hotspur's invitation because he likes Manchester United and wants to stay in Manchester United.

Another one is Gerard Deulofeu, a young player from Barcelona's youth training camp in Spain. This young player, who is regarded as Messi II by La Masia, has also attracted the attention of Tottenham Hotspur, but he does not consider Tottenham Hotspur either. It's just that his tone of refusal is slightly better than Morrison's.

Like Adam Campbell of Newcastle, there are several good young players from Liverpool, Arsenal, and even Wigan Athletic, but they all rejected Tottenham Hotspur's invitation because they are very satisfied with their current teams.

Talents are actually everywhere. Youth training is a very slow and long process, and the whole process is full of various changes. Now these young players who refuse or join Tottenham Hotspur, no one can guarantee that they will be successful in the future. What Tottenham Hotspur has done is to attract them all around Tottenham Hotspur, invest time, financial resources and energy to help them grow and improve as much as possible.

As for who can successfully enter the first team in the future and who can meet everyone's expectations, this is something no one dares to guarantee.

Of course, the more formal and outstanding the youth training of Tottenham Hotspur is, the more likely it is to guarantee the success rate of players. However, whether a player can succeed or not also has a lot to do with the player's own personality, learning ability, and adaptability.

After Ye Qiu finished reading the player report selected on the Talent Day, Peter De Visser and Ricklink looked at each other and continued, "When we contacted Anderlecht, the other party did not make too many entanglements and difficulties on the player issue, but was very interested in further cooperation with us."

Ye Qiu listened silently without saying much.

"You know, Anderlecht is a big team in Belgium, but it has been in a difficult situation in recent years. However, Belgium has a spurt of talent, and Belgium, the Netherlands and France are the countries most closely connected with African football. Manchester United and Arsenal have partners in Belgium. I think we should also consider cooperating with Anderlecht." De Visser's words moved Ye Qiu. Establishing a partnership is beneficial to Tottenham Hotspur, but some resources and equipment will definitely be shared at that time, but this is not a problem for Tottenham Hotspur, because many equipment are currently sold directly to the public, without any confidentiality.

For Anderlecht, it is also good to make friends with Tottenham Hotspur. Everyone knows the strength of Tottenham Hotspur. With this rich man, Tottenham Hotspur eats meat, and at least they can also drink soup. This is far better than fending for themselves in Belgium.

Moreover, this kind of cooperation is not permanent. When the two sides have big differences, they can terminate the cooperation.

"You can do it directly!" Ye Qiu nodded and agreed. He can make his own decisions on matters at the competitive level.

Just as Ye Qiu finished this sentence, he, De Visser and Ricklink's mobile phones rang almost at the same time. When Ye Qiu and De Visser took out their mobile phones, they immediately saw a text message that shocked them.
