Chapter 147 Construction of the Youth Team (1)

The former head coach of the England national team, Sir Bobby Robson, who has received the most honors among the active English head coaches and has experienced the most legendary experience, decided to go to Tottenham Hotspur Club as the youth training director. This news was disclosed by British media and caused a large earthquake in the English football world. Most people did not expect that after being fired by Newcastle, Robson did not choose to coach Yi's adult team, but ran to his former disciples to train those underage players!

Although Robson, the old man is old and has not won the championship trophy for many years after leaving Barcelona, ​​no one can deny the coach's coaching ability. You must know that if Robson had not had the hard work of these years, then Newcastle, who was in trouble after Keegan's departure, would have long been reduced to a mid-range team at this time, and how could he have the chance to show his face in the European arena?

Therefore, many people are extremely puzzled about Robson's decision, even if you were just bitten by the group of ungrateful wolves in Newcastle, you wouldn't be so sad that you said goodbye to this position directly, right?

Or to put it bluntly, as long as Old Robson reveals his idea of ​​being willing to come out to coach, countless clubs will immediately take the initiative to send the contract to the old coach and invite Old Robson to their team to coach!

In fact, the reason why Robson, the old man agreed to George's invitation to serve as Tottenham's youth training director was mainly due to the following two considerations.

First, since he was diagnosed with cancer thirteen years ago, the unyielding old Robson has been fighting stubbornly against cancer. This spirit and fighting spirit have certainly moved countless fans, but it has also made the physical condition of the old man who insisted on being in the head coach position deteriorate. At this time, the physical condition of the old Robson, who is already 70 years old, does not allow him to continue fighting on the yi line. Therefore, the pressure to become the youth training director who is relatively low and has not been far away from the stadium is obviously more in line with the current requirements of Robson.

Secondly, Robertson, the old man was also moved by George's sincerity. Especially George's insights and analysis on English football's local youth training not only deeply touched the old man, but also made Robertson realize that although the situation in English football now looks great and has great hope of achieving substantial breakthroughs in international competitions, it is actually full of crises!

Although the English football world has emerged as a superstar talent like Wayne Rooney, if nothing unexpected happens, it will become the forward ace of the Three Lions in the next ten years. In addition, the growth momentum of young talents such as Terry, Lampard, Gerrard, and Ladley King is also quite good, but the actual situation is that since entering the 2nd century, England's local youth training has begun to decline significantly in terms of quality and quantity. Apart from Rooney, there is no other player in English football who can show off, age under the age of 20!

In this way, it is natural for Robson to accept the position provided by George. After all, compared to Tottenham, which is considerate and considerate, and also knows that it is difficult for those clubs that only care about their own interests to win the favor of the coach.

Since he has agreed to serve as the youth training director of Tottenham Hotspur, the responsible old Robson naturally will not be able to live in this position. On the second day of his official position, Robson rushed to George's office at Tottenham Hotspur headquarters early in the morning to have a detailed discussion with his disciple on some issues!

"Welcome to Tottenham Hotspur, Sir Robson." Seeing his mentor walking into his office, George put on his serious look and shook hands with Old Robson in a regular manner.

"I'm very happy to be a Tottenham player, Viscount Nelson's stinky brat! Do you think I'll say that?!" The old Robertson, who now has no one around and looks like a deputy coach when entering the door, immediately revealed his true colors. He slapped the latter's shoulder and slapped George, "I've just won several championships, but still dare to show off in front of me, the old man? Tell me! Do you think your wings are hard and you think you can pretend in front of me?"

"Hehe, old man, how dare I do such a thing?" George laughed and said, "I just wanted to make a joke with you. I didn't expect you to not cooperate at all, old man. Tsk, it's really disappointing."

Next, George explained to Robson, the position of youth training director, in the scope of responsibilities of Tottenham. Robson, also raised questions and suggestions on some things he was more concerned about, and George answered it one by one.

"Leyton Bynes of Wigan Athletic?" Looking through the player profile in his hand, George finally recalled the English left-back who performed well in Everton in his previous life and was even related to Manchester United. He did not expect that the player recommended by Robson to him was not prepared for the youth team, but to strengthen the depth of the bench of the Yi team!

Let me go, old man, you're too powerful. As soon as I took office, I gave me a big gift. After confirming that Bynes was the fierce man who was known as the English left-back after Ashley Cole, George, who was originally worried about Evra's substitute, couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although Matthew Taylor had long shots with excellent foot quality and good front-shot attacks, in terms of ability, Taylor was at most the level of the main team of the middle and lower-level teams in England, and was not comparable to Bynes.

However, although George had heard of Leiden Bynes' name in his previous life and knew that this was a powerful left-back, he really couldn't remember which team the opponent debuted from. Even after acquiring Tottenham Hotspur, George established a complete scouting system around the world to find young players with potential, and it was impossible to find those future stars immediately.

"George, don't underestimate this little guy." Old Robson, who saw that George did not make a statement and thought his apprentice looked down on Bynes, said quickly. "Although Bynes is still a bit lacking in physical confrontation and defense against Yi, his overall view and footwork are the best among the English defenders of the same age. Practicing these two is much more difficult than simply improving physical fitness."

Unlike those British coaches who advocate physical confrontation and regard the two wings flying together and long passes as the only way to win games, Robson, a head coach in English football who pays attention to the cultivation of players' skills rather than relying on physical fitness to play football. At the same time, his care and cultivation of young players are also well-known throughout England.

This point can be seen from Robson's previous coaching resume. Under the coach's command, players such as Gascoin, Figo, Ronaldo, Bellamy, Solano, etc., who are skilled, can all play very eye-catching data and performances, and the teams he coaches have never lacked young talents.

Therefore, George can be said to be extremely relieved to have this respected coach in charge of Tottenham's youth training system. At least he will not become a rough guy who only knows to rush forward when he gets the ball when he gets the ball in his previous life.
