I brush achievements in football

U-11, u-13, u-15, u-17, this is the echelon that will be looking forward to in the Southampton youth training camp, plus a reserve team participating in the reserve league, this will be very long. The team that spends time in the youth academy is also a team that has an affiliation with the Southampton club.

Further down is the walking training system. In fact, those echelons do not train all day, they still have to go to school to study, but the time is relatively short.

Each age echelon recruits students every year, and many players will be eliminated. After all, players are always mobile, even for youth team players.

Ji Ya and Prost looked around, Ji Ya felt that the task was almost completed, and was about to leave, but outside the gate of the training base, he heard a fierce quarrel...

"What's going on?" Prost walked over dissatisfied.

"Boss, it's great that you are here. This little guy insists that the way we were eliminated is unfair, and he comes here every day to fight with me..." Francis, the head coach of the u-15 echelon, seemed to see a savior.

"What's going on?" Prost frowned and asked, while Ji Ya was looking at the short little guy next to him, only about 1.5 meters...

"According to our screening, his height did not meet the requirements, so we eliminated him." Francis said in a low voice.

"15 years old, 1.5 meters, not short, and there is still secondary development." Prost said with a frown.

"Here is the problem. He plays as a central defender, but his height is really not good. According to our doctor's test, his secondary growth has already begun, but his growth is not as good as expected. He may not be 1.7 meters tall when he is an adult. If you play as a defender with this height..." Francis smiled wryly.

Prost nodded, this makes sense.

Ji Ya walked over and asked, "Little guy, what's your name?"

This black-haired, black-eyed young man who was obviously of Chinese descent was shouting something excitedly just now, but immediately became quiet after seeing Ji Ya: "Mr. Ji Ya, I...my name is Du Yue...Chinese, English Name is Jeppler Du."

Ji Ya nodded, just now he felt that this kid had at least East Asian blood, but now it seems that he is indeed of Chinese descent.

"How about his training data?" Ji Ya asked.

Francis handed over a report card: "Everything else is fine, but this height..."

Ji Ya flipped through the report card and found that Du Yuebie was not bad, whether it was speed, confrontation, judgment and interception, or the technique of holding the ball under his feet, they were all considered top-notch.

"Do we still have rules about height when we select players?" Ji Ya asked Prost.

"It's mainly center forward and central defender. Of course, other positions, apart from wide players, have an advantage in height, which is also a data that can be used for reference." Prost replied.

Kiya sighed, this terrible England's tradition of valuing height...

Of course, it is indeed understandable that there are such hard indicators for the central defender and center forward positions.

"Have you ever thought about it, if such a height limit is dead, what we lose may not be a central defender who is not tall enough, but a possible strong defensive midfielder? 1.7 meters central defender is rare, 1.7 meters It is not uncommon to see a top defensive midfielder." Ji Ya said.

"Everyone understands this truth, but we have always been lean and simple..." Francis smiled wryly.

"As I said, there will be more funding for the youth academy in the future, so selection is still selection, but the rigid requirement for height can be removed." Ji Ya said.

"Boss, according to my observation of him, he may really only be suitable for playing as a central defender." Francis said in a low voice.

"That is also something in the future. The growth of the human body is amazing. I remember that there was a central defender who was eliminated before. The doctor measured him and thought he would not grow any taller. It turned out that he was 1.9 meters five. Of course, that guy also It's not suitable for playing as a central defender, it's too tall and stupid, but it's too simple and rude to rely on this to determine whether the opponent can grow taller, so you can relax a little bit in this regard, and according to my judgment, the traditional high center forward in the future , will be less and less, so there is no need to have too many restrictions on the height of the central defender." Ji Ya finally said.

After finishing speaking, he patted Du Yue on the shoulder: "Young man, play hard. If you are eliminated due to other factors in the future, don't blame us."

After finishing speaking, Ji Ya turned and left. Prost smiled, shrugged his shoulders, waved to Francis and Du Yue, and then left.

"Thank you so much! I will definitely work hard to train myself!" Du Yue shouted loudly behind them.

"Okay, lucky you kid, if you don't grow taller in the future..." Francis said angrily.

"Hey, coach, let me tell you that Mr. Ji Ya will get rid of this regulation." Du Yue changed his dissatisfaction just now, and laughed.

"It's just that you have a lot of eyes, you have used your eyes on this, have you forgotten how tall you are?" Francis glared at Du Yue.

Du Yue touched his head and laughed heck.

Of course, Ji Ya didn't know that this was actually the last effort made by an echelon coach who was optimistic about Du Yue but had to give up because of the club's regulations-of course, the idea was mainly due to Du Yue, who was short Children always have more eyes than others.

But even if he knew it, he didn’t know it. In fact, he always believed that height is difficult to measure the player’s ability. Even in the position of center forward and central defender, short center forwards and short central defenders are not uncommon, and just as he said As mentioned above, even if the height is not suitable for central defenders, how do you know that others cannot play full-backs or defensive midfielders, which do not require such high height requirements?

It is not height that determines the level of a player, but something else.

"In the past, there was not enough funding. It is true that we can only select the most talented players, but it is really unnecessary in the future. It is difficult for us to compete with other teams for that kind of real talent, but other things are different." Ji Ya said Go aside and say to Prost.

"We don't have to do this if we already have enough funding." Prost sighed.

Ji Ya laughed and patted his shoulder.

Indeed, Southampton's financial resources were always insufficient in the past, but now, isn't there a chance to recover this?

At least in Ji Ya's opinion, the matter of money has little effect on him, and there is no urgent need to spend money now, otherwise it would not be difficult for him to use dozens of points to get tens of millions back from him.

It's just that making money from the system can easily attract the attention of others. Before, he earned more than 1000 million from gambling and was hyped by reporters. Ji Ya really doesn't want to be the target of public criticism outside of football.

Or normal business is better.
