Chapter 219 Wait for the notice

The exchange between Fernando Santos and Yin Shengtie ended in about 20 minutes.

The two sides had a relatively professional exchange on the training of young players. However, as far as Diego is concerned, Fernando Santos is still quite dismissive of the work of Chinese clubs in youth training.

In response to this, Diego couldn't help but sigh secretly - helpless!

Chinese football in later generations is heading towards the abyss step by step, isn't it because of problems in youth training?

Fewer and fewer people play football, and the youth training does not provide more basic skills training for those young people who are willing to play football. As a result, when they are in their teens and 20s, the basic skills have not been finalized, and they are still doing solid basic skills. effort.

You must know that in Europe, the U18 echelon has begun to seldom practice basic skills, and more time and energy are devoted to the cultivation of tactics and awareness.

After all, at this age, it is already time to play in the first team. If you are still solid basic skills, you will not start to receive tactical training until you are 22 or 23 years old, and you will not be able to play as the main force of the first team until you are 25 years old. You can only get enlightened after you get 30 years old.

That's how true it is.

Most of the Chinese players of later generations only really understood how to read the game and how to play smarter on the court after they were 30 years old.

Just like Yu Dabao in front of Diego at this time is no exception-Yu Dabao's highlights did not start until he was 27 years old, and fans officially became familiar with this "fortune general" of Chinese football.

As for European players, their highlights often begin at the age of 23 - either they emerge and become stars, or they begin to be eliminated by the first team and have to find another way out, or even retire sadly.

The trial training for Yu Dabao was also simple.

After returning to the training ground, Fernando Santos roughly watched Yu Dabao's 100-meter sprint, 30-meter explosiveness, dribbling, long passes, grabbing points in front of the goal, headers, and one-two coordination with teammates. , and nodded to stop the trial training.

Of course, members of Fernando Santos' coaching staff were also recording and videotaping this process.

After learning about it, Diego realized that these materials need to be taken back to the marketing department for evaluation, so that he can determine whether he will sign Yu Dabao.

"Okay, that's it. I already have a rough idea of ​​Yu's situation."

Fernando Santos did not directly give Yu Dabao any positive or negative comments, but asked Diego to tell Yu Dabao on his behalf: "What is the result of the initial trial training? We have to wait until we return to Portugal to give a formal evaluation. If you pass The first trial training, then I will notify you to go to Benfica Club to do a series of comprehensive trial training later, rest assured and wait for the next notification."

"That's it... okay! Thank you Coach Santos!"

Yu Dabao was slightly disappointed by this, and thought that after this trial training, he could directly complete the contract of intent with Benfica.

It seems that if you want to land in this Portuguese giant club, it is not that simple.

"Wait patiently, Dabao!"

Diego comforted Yu Dabao: "I will try my best to help you speak well to Coach Santos and the club. Let's work hard for tomorrow's game! Show your talent to Coach Santos."

"Okay, thank you Diego!"

Yu Dabao was very grateful for Diego's friendly attitude.

Of course, Yu Dabao didn't know at this moment that Diego played at the forward position like him. Diego also noticed the simple trial training just now.

Regarding Yu Dabao's strength at this time, Diego also had a very general evaluation.

This future Chinese national football "fortunate general" is still a little weak in physical fitness at this time, and it will be very reluctant to play as a standing forward. Hold the ball on the field, let alone complete all kinds of difficult header competitions.

But Yu Dabao's speed is still quite outstanding, his awareness of grabbing points and running positions in front of the goal are also quite good, and his ability to combine man and ball is also among the best among his peers.

Perhaps, with these characteristics of Yu Dabao, he would be more suitable to play in the midfield position?

Of course, these are just Diego's evaluation and thoughts on Yu Dabao. As for how to train and arrange Yu Dabao, it depends on the coaches of the Benfica club.

After finishing Yu Dabao's first trial training, Diego finally temporarily completed his "part-time translation" work today, and then joined the training team of his teammates.

Although tomorrow's game is only a friendly match, as a first-tier team in Europe, Benfica still seriously conducted a series of training at the Hushan training base - even though the conditions of this training base are really bad, and the quality of the turf is as good as sand. …

For this reason, coach Yin Shengtie also stopped the Qingdao team's training and gave up the infield of the Hushan training base.

The players of the Qingdao team did not leave, they were very curious to watch Benfica train. Obviously, they had never seen the formal training of a top European team.

Taking this opportunity, Diego also led his teammates to teach the players of the Qingdao team a lesson "What is the training attitude of professional players".

In the half-court offensive and defensive drills, Diego received long passes from his teammates many times, carried more than two defensive players in the penalty area, and completed headers.

There was even a distance of more than 10 meters outside the penalty area, a direct kick and a blast that penetrated goalkeeper Moreto's fingers.

Such a positive attitude can basically be said to be the attitude one should have in an official game.

This made the players of the Qingdao team "wow" again and again. Obviously, their predictions about the strength and state of tomorrow's opponents are all under their eyes at this moment.

Just think about it, playing against such a group of top European players tomorrow is really terrible, and the visual estimation is that they will be tortured miserably.

Yu Dabao was also watching Diego's various life-threatening disturbances in the frontcourt and said with rapt attention.

The enthusiasm, fighting spirit, and domineering spirit that Diego showed on the training field are qualities that the young people of the Qingdao team do not have!

I thought that since Diego is so young, he should only be a marginal figure in the first team of Benfica, but in terms of his ability to interfere in the frontcourt, especially his header and sense of grabbing points, it is definitely at the level of the first team in Europe!

Being able to be the main striker of Benfica at such a young age, and being so kind and amiable to others, made Yu Dabao's affection for Diego double.
