The black box system and the satellite club plan were actually proposed by Prost. The Southampton youth training camp has always had a deep relationship with some small clubs. Young talents in small clubs get better training opportunities, which in itself is a matter of mutual benefit. Southampton had already prepared to implement the satellite club plan before, but because Southampton's performance was too frustrating before, it fell directly to the In League One, the evasion clause alone is enough for them to drink a pot.

So it was not until this year that Southampton was ready to restart the plan, and now it has Kiya's approval, which means that the plan will start soon.

Those selected are those small clubs that are basically impossible to enter the Premier League, but have been in League Two and League One for a long time, so that they are not supervised by the avoidance regulations.

There are actually quite a few such choices.

For example, Stevenage, who just signed a one-year lease extension with Vardy with Southampton, is a southern team. They are also happy to contact a club like Southampton, because they are a semi-amateur club. The youth training is also very bad, and there is no money. Apart from allowing big clubs to train young players, it has no value at all.

Being able to form a cooperation with Southampton is a great thing in itself.

This kind of target should be carefully selected. Basically, the selected teams are teams with no youth training tradition and insufficient financial resources. Such teams basically have no possibility of reaching the Premier League, or even the British Championship.

So Milton Keynes, a club with certain financial resources, will not become a satellite club even in League One, and Leighton Orient, although it has always been a small team, is the only two professional teams in East London. It is difficult for such a team to become a satellite club of other teams.

Therefore, Southampton will choose those teams that have been in the fifth and fourth tier leagues all year round. Such teams are the best to contact and will not make any taboos.

Of course, there is no need for Ji Ya to do this kind of thing in person, just arrange for people from the club to do it.

"I know that you are under a lot of pressure. After all, Southampton's financial resources are limited, but the Premier League broadcast fees are very high now. If you stay in the Premier League for a few more years, it will be almost the same?" Prost said.

"That's the truth, but it's really difficult." Ji Ya sighed.

Placente nodded. Relegation in the Premier League is easy to say, but Southampton failed to do this before, and even relegated to League One. From this perspective, you know that the money in the Premier League is not so easy to get. of.

"I have calculated that the entire black box project will require an investment of at least 5000 million pounds, not to mention other investments in the training base. We have millions of interest to repay every year, and we have to suffer recently." Ji Ya Finally said.

Prasent nodded. He is actually not very old. Of course he is older than Ji Ya. He is now in his 40s. As the director of the youth training camp, he still has time to wait until Southampton's youth training becomes more mature. become stronger.

"We are a small club now, but we have a great reputation in the youth academy. This is our advantage. Compared with those smaller clubs, we have a bigger stage. Compared with those big clubs, we have a bigger stage. There is an opportunity to develop young players and give them space. That will be our survival in the early days," Kiya told Placente.

"Actually, Southampton has always done this." Plasent nodded.

"So in terms of youth training, we also need to form a unity. We used to have this problem. When a young player trained in our youth training camp for ten years, four, three, three, and a new head coach came to play four. Four two, his ten years of training are wasted, isn't this a waste? Fortunately, now I am the head coach, and I should not dismiss get out of class, so we will use four three three as the main formation of the club, with fast speed and good skills A winger who can become an explosive point, a center with good scoring ability and tactical ability, a shadow forward who can respond to the midfielder, a center midfielder and attacking midfielder who can run actively and can attack and defend well, a midfielder with certain forward ability, speed A full-back with excellent quick assist ability, a central defender who can complement each other...these are the goals of our training." Ji Ya said.

Plasante nodded in admiration. This is exactly what he wanted to say all the time, but he couldn't express it systematically.

Southampton's youth training camp is very good, but the good players they train may not be able to become Southampton's first-team players, so the club's investment is tantamount to a complete waste.

It's like when Lallana was downgraded in Southampton, he couldn't become the main force for a while, and later entered the main lineup to support others, which completely covered up his talent. Until Ji Ya took office, he was reused as an attacking midfielder, and even Let him serve as the only attacking midfielder last season, which allowed him to perform well enough.

This problem was not noticed by the previous club management.

Maybe it's because Ji Ya is both the management and the front-line leader, so he can perceive this - Prost thought in his heart.

Ji Ya was actually fine today, so after chatting with Prost about the Black Box Project, Ji Ya and Prost wandered around the youth training camp.

After all, according to the personality set for him by the system, he played in the Southampton youth team at the age of ten, and then broke his leg when he was almost 20 years old and could not continue his career, so he should be very good at the youth academy. Feelings are.

But in fact... he has a fart for the Southampton youth training camp!Before he got the system, he didn't even know where the gate of the Southampton youth academy opened!

So in the past two years, he rarely came to the youth training camp. He came to see if there were any available players. It's normal, but there's nothing else to do today, it's all here, if you revisit it for no reason, it won't be justified.

The Southampton youth training camp has always been very famous. Although there were only a few full-time managers in the past, it was because a large number of coaches were actually part-time amateurs, and Southampton used to be an elite system. Only those who are very high will stay, so the success rate is often very high.

Of course, this is also because of funding issues. If there is not enough money, they can only streamline their troops and streamline their administration, which often makes them miss many outstanding players.

For a club, this is just a direction of choice.
