Chapter 595： Ball saint's mouth

"Mr. Yang Huan, this is our Adidas Sports Center!"

When the two teams arrived in Amsterdam, located in the south of the city, next to the Amsterdam Arena, the Ajax training base Detok Most, Ajax’s core management was warmly welcoming guests. .

Yang Huan took Peter Kenyon and others into the Adidas Sports Center in Detok Most.

Accompanied by Adidas representative, old friend Marcus Bowman.

Southampton and Ajax’s sponsors are Adidas, so Adidas obviously hopes to strengthen the communication and connection between the two teams in this way.

Yang Huan laughed and took a group of people, accompanied and introduced by Ajax’s chairman John Jacques, head coach De Boer, and Ovimas, who is in charge of the team’s transfer operations, and began to enter This sports center.

Just like its name, this white building is a sports center.

The largest area is an indoor football field, which provides training for the first team and youth teams.

In addition, there are a series of things that sound like high-end atmosphere, such as speed track, motion measurement system and analysis system.

John Jacques and other Ajax’s core executives didn’t know if they wanted to prove it in front of Marcus Bowman, or if they really thought it was awesome, anyway, it’s just to blow this sports center into the sky. There is nothing underground, as advanced as possible.

Yang Huan smiled perfunctorily along the way, followed and visited, not feeling that it was a big deal.

For example, Ajax said that their technology can integrate team and individual sports data, and analyze the future development direction of the players, as well as the improvement of the team's training programs and so on.

But when Yang Huan wanted to learn more about the extent of their research, the person in charge of the Ajax Sports Center just said that he is still exploring, but he believes that results will be achieved soon. he.

In this regard, Yang Huan can only be haha.

Undoubtedly, Ajax has excellent experience in the training of young players, and it can even be said to be unparalleled in the world, but they have their own fixed training model and have been running for many years.

Now that we want to transform this traditional training model into an informatization model, I am afraid that this cannot be done overnight. The advantages of the year have now become the disadvantages of dragging the legs.

This has to be said to be a very sad thing!

However, if Ajax continues to invest and research in this area, and persevere, it will definitely make a difference in the future.

After all, what they have is valuable experience that other teams don't have.

Regardless of how informatization is used and how it develops, in the end, it is still players!

Just from the current situation, Ajax seems to lack such patience.

Especially when the head of the Ajax project pointed out that Ajax's research in these areas led the world for nearly a decade, Yang Huan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. Is this fooling investors?

If you have a little bit of Ajax technology that leads the world for several years, then what are we in Southampton?

Oh, are we not from the earth?

Okay, let's go back to Mars!

The entire Adidas Sports Center gives Yang Huan the feeling that it is beautiful and costly, but lacks an innovative atmosphere, and is full of old stereotypes and unconventional conventions everywhere.

This is not a good sign!

But Yang Huan was a guest, and he was rotten in his heart about this kind of thing and didn't say anything.

"Mr. Yang Huan, what do you think of our sports center?"

When the group walked out of the Adidas Sports Center again, John Jake smiled and asked Yang Huan next to him.

Yang Huan laughed, "Very good, pretty good."

"Yes, we have been working on some technical projects for two years, and we plan to spend another three years to let this sports center reach its full potential."

John Jake introduced it with a bit of high spirits and ambition.

Yang Huan nodded, "Well, Ajax is indeed the world leader in these aspects!"

John Jake was obviously very satisfied with the praise and affirmation from Yang Huan. After a few laughs, he was actually humble.

"Since the Velvet Revolution, in the past three years, Ajax has undergone tremendous changes from the past. We have redefined the club’s future development direction and strategy and invited Bergkamp, ​​De Boer, and Ovima. Celebrities such as S. Van der Sar and others have entered the home team."

"We will resolutely implement the business strategy proposed by Cruyff in this technical report. In the next few years, while ensuring Ajax's domestic advantage in the Netherlands, we will try our best to enhance the team's competition in the European arena. Strength, get a better ranking, and reproduce the glory of the past!"

When John Jake mentioned Cruyff, many people around him showed a little enthusiasm.

But there are also some people who seem very indifferent and noncommittal.

Obviously, even within Ajax, it is not monolithic.

When Yang Huan heard this, hehehe again.

With the current situation of Ajax, it would be good to be able to keep the leading position in the Netherlands.

Still looking forward to making a difference in the Champions League?

Stop teasing, okay?

Not to mention the comparison with the five major European leagues, even with the Portuguese Super League, Ajax has no advantage at all.

In the final analysis, people are rich!

Nowadays, professional football is based on capital. In youth training, you can be willful if you have money.

How was Chelsea’s youth training back then? What about the Tottenham Hotspur youth training? How about the youth training when Arsenal entered Wenger?

But now?

How was the youth training in Germany ten years ago?

What does it depend on? In ten years, the original talents withered to the current talents blowout?

Rely on money!

If German football does not have the huge sums of money in the past ten years to promote the reform of youth training, can it have the present?

But what does Ajax have?

A football field, a training base, a group of stereotypical old people, what else?

As for mentioning Cruyff, Yang Huan felt it again.

After Russell of Barcelona came to power, Cruyff couldn't stay in Barcelona and was swept out.

And after that?

Bringing De Boer, Ovimas and other famous Ajax celebrities, the prestige of the past, incited the Ajax fan meeting, launched the so-called velvet revolution, overthrew the Ajax board of directors twice, and painted Pieces of beautiful pie, are they realistic?

To put it bluntly, this is an intriguing palace fight scene, don't think Cruyff is so great!

Maybe, in the heart of the old man, it is because he was swept out by Barcelona and his heart was empty and lonely, so with the help of Ajax, he continued to brush his presence in professional football!

As for Ovimas, Jonker, De Boer, even Bergkamp and others, do they really have the ability to lead Ajax?

Regarding coaching, Yang Huan is a layman, he is not sure, but as far as the club management is concerned, he completely failed!

What is the most important thing for a professional team?

There is no doubt that transfer signings!

It can be said that the quality of transfer signings determines the competitiveness of a team.

Ajax's current youth training is completely unable to meet the needs of the first team, so signings are very important.

Look at the signings of Ajax after the Velvet Revolution.

Among the players introduced, how many are worth the money?

For a small team like Ajax, good value signings are not enough by themselves. What they want is to buy low and sell high, and it will be worth the money!

But now?

Headed by Ovimars and others, the introduced players are not even worth the money!

As for the Danish midfielder Paulson, former Liverpool player Babel, etc., they are all a group of people who can't mix in the five major leagues, but the annual salary is not low, and the age is a lot. Is it useful to bring in? Can you sell it at a good price?

A few years ago, Ajax spent more than 16 million euros to introduce Soleimani from Heerenveen. The result?

This player became the biggest parallel importer in Ajax's history.

According to the usual logic, since it's no longer good, then just sell it at a price?

But is the Ajax management side?

Stay in the team, raise, guard the drinking fountain, and then...this summer, free transfer and leave!

If you are a savvy Ajax fan, you should shout at Ovimars and others.

Dude, don't you always think about buying someone?

Occasionally, you also sell someone!

In Yang Huan's view, this group of former famous executives in Ajax may know how to play football, but they certainly don't know how to play professional football.

Moreover, all those who use loyalty, feelings, and feelings for things these years are always particularly unreliable.

More importantly, they followed Cruyff, but they didn't learn any other skills, so they learned how to use Master Ball.

Empty talk will miss the country, hard work will rejuvenate the country!

Ajax’s current problems are many and complex.

But there are some people who are unwilling to face the cruel reality and always fantasize about their former glory peaks.

What's the use?

Can the Champions League trophy placed in the honor room be eaten? Can you change money? Can it attract players?

To put it mildly, if Ajax can be more pragmatic, put down his body, and learn from Porto, it will be considered a success.

At the very least, Ajax is indeed experienced in player training.

The problem is, you can’t even learn from teams like Porto, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica now!

Yang Huan knew very well in his heart that the reason why Adidas took advantage of the opportunity of the Europa League final to do everything possible to invite Yang Huan and others to Detok Most, to put it bluntly, hoped to promote the cooperation between the Saints and Ajax.

But after learning about Ajax's situation, Yang Huan had no interest.

As a boss, he doesn't like the kind of employees who refuse to be down-to-earth and always like empty talk.

And as the boss, he didn't like that kind of little brother who was so outrageous.

Therefore, after walking out of the Adidas Sports Center, Yang Huan gave Peter Kenyon a wink.

The latter understood what he meant, and immediately walked out.

"Master Huan, time is almost up, Miss Zhuang is probably waiting!"

When John Jake and others heard it, they all looked at the time.

No, it’s still early to kick-off now. What does it mean that it’s almost time?

Unexpectedly, Yang Huan pretended to suddenly realize, "Yes, it's almost time!"

"No, Master Huan, it's still early in the day. Why don't we go to the office and sit for a while, then look around. We will invite you to dinner again in the evening..."

"Another day another day!" Yang Huan smiled and waved his hand, "I'm really sorry, I have an appointment for dinner tonight."

Everyone at Ajax immediately looked at Marcus Bowman, as if asking, buddy, we haven't talked about the most important thing yet, can't let him go like this!

But Marcus Bowman was depressed, only a wry smile.

You blow yourself so hard and scare everyone away. What can I do?

Besides, who can control what Young Master Huan does?

I can only look for opportunities in the future and think of a way!

Yang Huan pretended not to know this, and greeted Peter Kenyon and Long Wu, and after a few more polite words, he left.

Leaving this group of people, you look at me, I look at yours, sighing.

It seemed like a godsend opportunity was missed. r1148
