Football giants

Chapter 533 Weak Explosion

After the goal, Southampton's offensive continued unabated.

Although in this game, the Saints did not arrange the full main lineup to play, but judging from the performance on the field, Southampton completely suppressed Arsenal at a disadvantage.

When the game progressed to No. 208 minutes, Gareth Bale and Danilo on the right had a beautiful two-to-one cooperation and forcibly broke through Arsenal's left defense. Vermaelen had no choice but to choose to foul.

Vermaelen received his first yellow card of the game, while Southampton won a very threatening set-piece.

Toni Kroos was in charge of taking the penalty, and a curved kick kicked into the penalty area. The young center back Laporte, who replaced Harvey Martinez in the starting lineup, grabbed the first spot and made everyone in Arsenal feel desperate.

At the critical moment, goalkeeper Szczesny made a flying save, barely blocking the ball with his hands.

But Gareth Bale, who had been ambushing in the penalty area, made a barb in a hurry and hit the ball directly into the goal.

Two to zero!
The entire St. Mary's Stadium cheered wildly!

Gareth Bale ran out of the pitch calmly, celebrating another goal of the season!
After coming to Southampton and moving from the left winger of Tottenham Hotspur to the right winger, he found that his scoring ability was completely activated!

Especially on the left, whether it is Neymar or Hazard, they all have a very strong ability to hold the ball.

Once the left side gets the ball and attracts defensive attention, Gareth Bale on the right side can get more scoring opportunities. In addition, under the urging of Bielsa this season, he has carefully sculpted his shooting and foot skills.

Ever since, it is only natural to score more goals!

"The vision of Southampton's scouting system is really vicious!"

In the crowded stands of St. Mary's Stadium, the two middle-aged men in neat suits looked very calm.

One looks more than 50 years old, gentle, wearing glasses, giving people a very gentle and refined feeling.

The other has a bald head and a short beard on his chin, looking very shrewd.

At this moment, the bald middle-aged Gareth Bale, who was looking at the bottom of the stands and celebrating his goal with his teammates, let out a sigh of admiration, apparently also surprised by the start of the game.

Southampton, as a newly promoted horse, is now ranked third in the league. Against Arsenal at home, they are overwhelming this Premier League team. This is too surprising!

"Gareth Bale reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo back then. When he came to Southampton and switched to playing right winger, it was like when Cristiano Ronaldo changed from the right wing to playing left winger. Wonderful, wonderful!"

This bald middle-aged man with shrewd eyes was even thinking in his heart that this Welshman is a treasury.

How much is Cristiano Ronaldo worth?

In Ferguson's words, 5000 million pounds is considered cheap!
So now, once Gareth Bale is played, how much is he worth?

Moreover, the Welshman is only 23 years old now!

It was exactly the same as when Cristiano Ronaldo was 23 years old!
The only difference is that the Portuguese can play in the Champions League, while the Welsh can only play in the Europa League!
No way, who made Southampton a newly promoted?
"I heard that after coming to Southampton this season, the Saints' medical team and analysis team have formulated a complete training plan for Gareth Bale, which is why Gareth Bale's outstanding performance."

A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man with glasses.

This time, he made a special trip to Southampton because he wanted something.

The bald man glanced at the middle-aged man with glasses who was sitting next to him, who looked worried but had strong expectations. He knew it well and nodded comfortingly: "Don't worry, even Professor Mayer Seman is full of praise. He thinks that only Southampton's entire system can help him return to the top, so he must be right!"

The middle-aged man in glasses nodded worriedly.

This is also his biggest wish in the past few years!

…………

…………

In the stands, some people were celebrating, some were cheering, some were worrying, and some were shaking their heads and sighing.

"The training of our young players is indeed far from that of continental Europe!"

The person who made such an exclamation was sitting near Yang Huan at this very moment.

He is the former England star defender Southgate!
"Young central defenders like Laporte, Varane and Nastasic, we can't develop them at all!"

When everyone around heard this, they nodded in unison.

The defense Bielsa arranged for this game is a combination of David Alaba, Laporte, Varane and Danilo. This is also the first time Laporte has started this season.

No way, the team needs to rotate, Harvey Martinez is a little injured, Nastasic played the whole game last game, so Laporte is on this game.

As for England international Gary Cahill, he is sitting on the bench of the home team coach at this time.

This local player is less and less appreciated by Bielsa. A very important reason is that he does not meet Bielsa's requirements for central defenders, such as holding the ball, long passes and organization, as well as the team's high-position pressing tactics.

Judging from several appearances this season, Gary Cahill's performance is not satisfactory.

On the contrary, the young players in the team, Nastasic and Laporte are impressive.

For example, Laporte, the header just now was enough to make Arsenal break out in a cold sweat.

Without this header, where did Gareth Bale's supplementary shot come from?

"In the past few years, the entire tactical style of the Premier League has been gradually in line with the European continent, but our youth players are far from keeping up with this rhythm and pace."

Yang Huan also took the opportunity to put forward some ideas of his own.

"If we restrict foreign aid and forcibly promote local places, it will weaken the combat effectiveness of the strong Premier League teams. Once the strong teams are unfavorable in the European competition, the damage to the entire Premier League will be quite serious!"

This is what Yang Huan has been calling for all the time. The Premier League should let go of their arms and not be limited to the three-acre land in the British Isles.

Since you want to make money from all over the world, please open your mind to embrace the whole world!

It was also in the past period of time that Yang Huan had a deep understanding of the relationship between youth training and professional leagues.

He still remembers that back then, in his home country, many so-called football experts were saying that professionalization could improve a country's football level, and even promoted it as if professionalization could save Chinese football.

But looking back now, those were all bullshit!

As an investor, what you invest in is a football club. I don't care whether your country's football level is high or low.

If the level is high, I will introduce a few more; if the level is low, I will introduce a few less.

Are you limited?

Well, as long as you treat everyone equally, I'm happy!
The big deal is to lower the competitive strength of all teams in the entire league at the same time. I can also take the opportunity to invest less, and maybe make more money!

As for the youth training, I take good care of my one-acre three-point land, and it is enough to do a good job of the dozens of youth training players in my team.

the whole country?

Just kidding, who has the financial resources?
In a huge country, I'm just an insignificant team, what can I do?
Besides, I must have something to pursue when investing in football. To put it bluntly, it is for profit!

Since it is for profit, what benefits can I gain by promoting youth training?
make money?

Don't be kidding, youth training all over the world doesn't make money!

Even if it is as strong as Ajax, can it make money?
If they could really make money, Ajax wouldn't have to suffer so badly!
Therefore, large-scale youth training is a bottomless pit!
Even if it is as strong as the Premier League, earning so much money every year, can it afford the reform of English football?

Do you really think that there is no cost to operate the Premier League?Do you really think that the stars of the Premier League don't need to be paid?Or, does it cost money for Premier League signings?
A professional league is a professional league, youth training is youth training, these are two different things!

In countries with good youth training and a large number of stars in the world, almost all youth training reforms are promoted at the national level!
Needless to say, France, Germany, Spain, all the same!
Now England is planning to do the same!

Another point is that the European mainstream leagues have another advantage that China does not have.

That is, they first promoted football across the country, first established a national youth training system, and after having countless players and fans, they slowly established a professional league.

But now China is doing the opposite. There are professional leagues first, and they want to rely on professional leagues to forcefully promote football and youth training.

But in the end, I found a very paradoxical thing, that is, no one played football at all!
Why did the kids who were supposed to play football go?
Needless to say the answer!
Yang Huan has already asked people to contact and investigate domestically. He is not interested in acquiring or cooperating with domestic league clubs. He wants to try to establish a school and invest in youth training.

Because he has plenty of resources.

For example, with the help of Yang's Group, we cooperate with local famous schools to set up private branch schools in the real estate projects of Yang's Group. With the best teachers, we can guarantee children's cultural courses, and then use their spare time to cultivate children's fun of playing football.

Yang Huan currently owns three teams, Southampton, Atletico Madrid and Monaco. Relying on the influence and youth training level of these three European teams, as well as the appeal of the Yang Group and local prestigious schools, there is no need to worry about the source of students.

Maybe, it will be able to make money by then!
As for the youth training coaches, Yang Huan has already begun preparations to set up a professional coach training institution in China, but any young people who are interested in football and youth training can participate, and the famous European youth training experts and coaches will teach.

At the same time, those who are willing can also come to the youth training camps of Southampton and Atletico Madrid for long-term internships.

Southampton is currently preparing for the England Coach Training Center to recruit domestic students, which is just a matter of effort.

Otherwise, do you really think that Yang Huan is a kind person who helped England promote youth training reform for no reason?
To put it bluntly, it's just practice!

While Yang Huan was thinking about his own affairs and chatting with David Bernstein and others without saying a word, Southampton completely dominated the situation on the field, and the first half ended with a score of [-]-[-].

Wenger's Arsenal looked very depressed. Although it was an away game, being beaten so embarrassingly by a newly promoted team was enough to ruin the Gunners' image as a Premier League giant.

Yang Huan was very satisfied with the score of [-]-[-] in the first half. Even according to the situation in the first half, unless the situation in the second half turned around, otherwise, Southampton won this game, it would not be a big problem.

Compared to Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City, Arsenal is indeed weak!

This may also have something to do with Arsenal's investment.

If you don't invest in professional football, you can't expect to produce anything at all!

As for spending a small amount of money to accomplish big things, who else can do it except for an unpredictable traveler like Master Huan?

Ferguson?
Don't be ridiculous, go and count how much money Ferguson spent, and then count how many transfer records in the Premier League are set by him!

Just when Master Huan was grinning from ear to ear, Long Wu behind him stepped forward and handed over the phone.

Raiola!

"Hello, Mino!" Yang Huan answered the phone with a smile.

"What? You're in the office? Someone wants to see me? Who?"
