Chapter 492

At first it was just Gao and Guardiola in the office talking about belsa and the selection of Serie A team.

But before long, Moratti and Facchetti also came.

They read from the morning newspaper that Gao Han returned to Milan yesterday, so they called and learned that Gao Han was in pinetina. They were all on holiday and came here when they were free.

From the beginning of coaching Inter Milan in alpine cold, time is always tight. It's rare to have such a leisure opportunity to sit together, drink tea and chat, not to mention how comfortable it is.

As for the development trend of Serie A in recent years mentioned by Gao, Facchetti also agrees with it.

"In fact, although we used to attach importance to tactics, we have also cultivated a lot of small and quick attacking players, such as Rossi, Baggio and Piero. At the beginning of the century, there were Pirlo, Miccoli and Cassano, but the whole environment is really more and more unfavorable for this type of players."

Baggio and Del Piero, needless to say, basically did not reach the expected height.

Of course, this is not to say that they are not good enough, but that they could have been better.

Pirlo was born as a striker and front midfield, but he changed to play in the back midfield. Miccoli is not valued in Juve, and Cassano is perverse. I'm afraid it's hard to meet expectations.

Not only in the middle and front, but also in the back line, the players cultivated by Italy are basically the same.

"In the past, people like Cannavaro and Nesta basically practiced their personal skills first, and then improved their tactical literacy and cultivated their awareness of overall defense when they were fast approaching the adult team, but now they have been instilling tactics since childhood."

Facchetti said here, but also a bit worried about the feeling.

Gao Han understood what Facchetti meant and nodded: "indeed, my understanding is that there is something wrong with the selection criteria of players in the whole Serie A League, whether they are forwards, midfielders or defenders."

After a meal, Gao Han said with a bitter smile: "I visited our youth training base. I found that from the beginning of the youth team, we attached great importance to the improvement of players' physical confrontation and the inculcation of tactical literacy, but ignored the cultivation of players' own ability."

"Take Martins as an example, he is really very fast, even I think Henry and Ronaldo are not as fast as him, but I dare say that with his technical ability, in any team, in any case, it is impossible to reach the level of Henry and Ronaldo."

Moratti and Facchetti are speechless.

Although the outside world has hyped about Gao's unwillingness to reuse Martins, it has always been clear inside Inter.

Take Martins and Cristiano Ronaldo for example. Everyone can see the difference.

In this case, if Alpine puts Martins in great importance and ignores Cristiano Ronaldo, then there is the inside story.

To put it bluntly, Martins is a threat only when his speed has room to play, but Cristiano Ronaldo can play and create a threat on the pitch in any case.

The reason is the gap between the two players.

"Since the Sacchi era, Italian youth training has been on the road of tactical literacy and physical confrontation. When I visited the youth training camp last time, I even saw our youth coaches explaining tactics to a group of eight or nine year old children, telling them how to run and how to cooperate."

When Gao Han said this, the whole person had no choice but to smile bitterly, "my God, do they understand? Even an adult player will find it boring. Do you say a group of eight or nine year old children are interested in listening to this? Don't you think that this will only stimulate their mind more and more tired of football? "

Facchetti is a professional player, and he is familiar with the youth training camp. He knows what Gao Han said is true.

"This is also the normal situation of Italian youth training in the past few years."

"That is the whole Italy, from youth training to talent selection, has problems and has gone astray."

The cold of this sentence, let Facchetti is really speechless.

In fact, in the past few years, Italy's youth training really did not appear any decent talents, the only one who is more successful is Cassano, but the player's perverse character is well known.

Even in the league, the performance of young players is not very convincing, such as Fiorentina's pachini and Montolivo, although highly hyped, but also can not reach the expected level.

"In fact, the emergence of youth training talents is often batch by batch, with high and low levels. In the past few years, the youth training in Italy is really at a low level compared with the 1990s." Facchetti sighed.

Gao Han shook his head and laughed, "you're right, youth training not only has high and low, but also has a serious lag, he is for the professional league service, training a player is often several years, or even more than ten years of a period of process, but the professional football skills and tactics are always in rapid progress, every few years will usher in great changes."

"Well, in this way of youth training in Italy, when the players are trained in the first team, they will find that they can't keep up with the development of current mainstream techniques and tactics. Not only their technical skills are not strong enough, but also their tactical ideas instilled by coaches over the years are completely divorced from reality. How can they perform?"

In Alpine view, youth training is to serve the professional league, the direction of training players has always been very clear.

The so-called talent in large numbers may be because that wave of youth training gathered a group of young talents, who made achievements and led the trend of technology and tactics, or it was in line with the characteristics of technology and tactics at that time, so talent in large numbers appeared.

But the problem is, with the speed of the change of the professional league, as long as three or five years, as short as one or two years, soon a team will develop new tactics to restrain your set of technical and tactical characteristics, and gradually promote them. Soon, the set of technical and tactical playing methods that originally led the trend will not work.

If the youth training is still in accordance with the original direction and method to cultivate players, then soon, a new batch of players will find it difficult for them to achieve good results, or even to stand in the professional league.

"To take the simplest example, from the era of Sacchi, the Italian youth training has undergone tremendous changes. The AC Milan youth team under the guidance of Capello has produced a large number of talents and reached its peak in the 1990s. The Italian youth training was also highly respected in those years, but what about now?"

"Now the rhythm of the European mainstream League is faster and faster, and there is such a trend in La Liga and the Premier League. As we all know, the faster the rhythm of the game, the higher the requirements for the technical skills of the players. This is why many players who seem to have excellent technical skills in other leagues are very rough in La Liga and the Premier League."

"Not to mention other leagues, let's say Serie A. in the past few years, the development of Serie A's technical and tactical level and the players trained by the youth training can't keep up with the requirements of the league, so it seems that local talents are withering."

The topic has gradually spread, from the original selection standard of Inter Milan, to the selection of other teams in Serie A, and now to the problem of Italian youth training, has already gone beyond the original scope of discussion.

However, it is difficult for people to refute this remark.

Because he is talking about the actual situation of Italian football.

"So... What's your strategy?" Moratti asked with concern.

Gao Han nodded and said, "it's very simple. According to the more advanced concept of youth training in Europe, it's difficult first, then easy, and then internal, then external."

"What do you mean?" Moratti and Facchetti are curious.

"Technology is the most difficult, because it takes a long time to carve, but also from an early age to cultivate players to play freely in the game, skilled use of technology, let them from an early age to strengthen their own technical ability, strong themselves."

"When they are 15 or 16 years old, their skills are basically formed, and then they begin to pay attention to the cultivation of their physical confrontation ability, instill the current tactical knowledge, improve their tactical literacy, and then let them enter the professional arena in two or three years."

It takes a good blacksmith to make steel.

As a professional player, the most hard is their own technical skills.

As long as his own hard enough, technical skills to achieve, then no matter how technical and tactical changes, no matter how the team's style changes, he can after a certain period of time to adapt, into the team.

However, in terms of the current youth training system and selection criteria of the Serie A League, it's completely putting the cart before the horse. If you continue to do so, don't mention talents. I'm afraid even the foundation of the whole Serie A League can't be maintained.

You know, the rise and fall of professional league, to a large extent, depends on their own hematopoietic capacity.

The management of Serie A teams is not as good as that of the Premier League, and even the stadium is not their own. The management of match days is very poor. The Italian economy is not particularly good, and the business income is poor. As a result, the income of Serie A teams is much less than that of other leagues.

In the past decade or so, Serie A has been able to rely on Moratti, Berlusconi and other rich owners to burn money behind their backs. Can this situation last?

The decline of Lazio and Rome, the fall of Parma, Sampdoria and Perugia are the most powerful proof.

If the team's finance is not ideal, but the youth training is excellent, it can barely maintain, but if even the youth training is not good, what else can we rely on?

When it comes to football and youth training, Moratti and Facchetti are not as good as alpine, but when it comes to club management, alpine is certainly not as good as them, but precisely because of this, they know how serious the prospect described by alpine is.

In the past decade, isn't inter just burning money with Moratti?

But how much longer can he burn Moratti? three years? Five years? Or ten years?

Guardiola, Moratti and Facchetti originally just came to chat with alpine people, but unexpectedly, chatting and chatting, they chatted about such a big topic, and even thought about it a little bit, they were afraid.

If it comes to the day described by alpine cold, isn't the Serie A League worse than the current Bundesliga League?

At least, the Bundesliga is now vigorously promoting the reform of youth training, and the financial revenue is much better than that of Serie A.

As for La Liga and the Premier League, I'm afraid not to think about it.

Moratti took a breath of cold air and looked deep into the cold. "What do you think you should do?"

Obviously, he really made up his mind.

"There are two steps to standardize the club's operation and management, and expand the financial revenue as much as possible. I think the focus should be on the development of overseas markets and new stadiums."

Having seen the overseas development of Premier League teams and the huge benefits brought by a stadium, Arsenal would rather shrink for many years than build a new stadium.

It's the same with Atletico Madrid and it should be the same with Inter.

As for how to build it, he didn't know. It should be Moratti's own headache.

"Another step is to vigorously promote the youth training reform, introduce foreign advanced youth training coaches, or arrange the club's youth training coaches to receive training in other advanced youth training bases in Europe, so as to improve the level of youth training coaches and their salary. This is not something that can be done overnight, but it will certainly be fruitful if we persevere."

Moratti understood the meaning of high cold, thought again and nodded heavily.
