This is the headline that appeared on the front page of the Guardian on the morning of December 19th, with the red Arabic numerals very conspicuous.

Below the front page headline is a scene where the players celebrated after Tottenham scored a goal during the game. If there were no one watching the live broadcast of the game, they would definitely think that it was a celebration after the game. In fact, this was the celebration scene when Cavani scored a second goal for Totem Hotspur.

The first goal in the game came from David Silva. During the absence of Fabregas, David Silva took the lead in the midfield organization well. Whether his partner is Ramsey, Eriksen, or Pogba, Espanyol all reassured the midfield with a stable performance.

Moreover, his performance in recent times has been very eye-catching. Messi's performance in this game was very average. He had neither had any impressive performance nor scored or assisted. Ye Qiu could guess that his performance was close to the PIPA Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and he was inevitably a little nervous.

The team's third goal came from Neymar who came on the bench, and the two biggest superstars, Messi and Ribery, did not get any data, which is a regrettable thing in this victory.

Tottenham Hotspur also conceded a goal in this game. It happened after leading by three goals. Young player Nastasic made a mistake, causing the team to lose the goal. In the end, L defeated the newly promoted Blackpool and won seventeen consecutive victories, setting a new record for winning streaks in the four major European leagues.

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur led the Premier League standings with an unbeaten record of 17 wins and one draw in the 18 games, with 52 points far ahead, followed by Manchester United's 34 points and Liverpool's 35 points, with Manchester City's 32 points, followed by Arsenal, West Ham United, Chelsea and Newcastle.

Judging from the current rankings in the standings, Chelsea's situation is indeed quite bad. If they want to regain the feeling of a strong team, then signings during the winter break will become a necessary condition. It is reported that Abrahimovic has asked Pini of Li Xavi to make arrangements to introduce players in the team's urgently lacking during the winter break at all costs.

In Abramovich's view, if Chelsea eventually loses the top four in the league and loses the qualification to participate in the Champions League, the loss will be huge for Chelsea, because losing the Champions League is not only a huge Champions League income, but also means that Chelsea's history of participating in the Champions League for several consecutive seasons will be completely interrupted.

But Chelsea wants to make big signings, and the same is true for potential competitors. In addition to Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool have also expressed their desire to strengthen the team's lineup during the winter break and introduce players, striving to allow the team to participate in the next season's Champions League match, especially Liverpool, which is in a great situation now.

It is reported that Chelsea's Pini of Li Xavi has placed his hopes of strengthening the team's forward scoring ability on Liverpool's Spanish striker Torres, but Liverpool has refuted this, believing that the team is in good shape and is not short of money at all.

In fact, if you study the links carefully, it is not difficult to find that it is not strange that Chelsea's appearance on Torres.

First of all, because Chelsea now needs an attacker who can improve the team's strength when it comes, so this player must be the kind of star who has proved his strength. At the same time, for safety and safety, it is best to prove his players in the Premier League. In addition, they must have the ability to be the leader of Chelsea, so there are not many such players.

With a lot of plans, Manchester United's trident, but the possibility of recalling Rooney is zero, Tevez is unlikely. Benzema has only played a good goal for half a season and has not yet met the requirements. Tottenham Hotspur's Cavani is very in line with Chelsea's requirements. The key question is, how high can Chelsea pay?

You know, Tottenham Hotspur sold Falcao at a sky-high price. Now there is only one center in Tottenham Hotspur team. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to convince Ye Qiu to sell people. Moreover, according to Ye Qiu's usual black store policy, even if he sells it with ease, he will definitely have to pay a sky-high price to convince him.

Chelsea wants to introduce both forwards and defenders, and the price cannot be too high.

Falcao is also an ideal choice, and there are reports that Abramovich and Reponolev have a good relationship, but the problem is that the Colombian center is now the pillar of the Hammers, and it has only been one season since joining the team. If Reponolev sells people, then he won’t be whispering?

So in the end, after a lot of calculations, the most suitable candidate is left, Torres, the only one, the only one

Liverpool is rich now, but according to Pinney ofLi Xavi's usual transfer strategy, as long as the players can be convinced, he will have nothing he dared to do, so who can say that this transfer cannot be successful?

West Ham United also wants to introduce suitable players during the winter break and strengthen their own strength, so before Christmas is over, West Ham United announced early that it has introduced England's local rookie Andy Carroll from Manchester City. This former Tottenham Hotspur center has not been valued at Manchester City. Ranieri hopes to introduce him to serve as the team's tactical surprise.

At present, West Ham United's entire frontcourt is actually full of talents, including famous European stars like Falcao, Etoo, and Giulli, as well as Argentine rookie Di Maria. In this case, Carol is actually more about strengthening the team's bench thickness. Moreover, Carol's current value is not high, only 15 million euros.

Of course, this is indeed not high for the great tycoon Reponolev.

While other Premier League teams are announcing their signings during the winter break, only Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal have always remained silent. Tottenham Hotspur rarely has the habit of signing during the winter break, and now Ye Qiu and the club are paying more attention to the selection of talented Japanese players and the upcoming Christmas Carnival.

Compared with Arsenal's failure to sign ups due to financial issues, Manchester United's current problem is mainly in the right-back position. After Macon was snatched away by Manchester City, Ferguson once tried to introduce Kyle or Walker, but was rejected by Ye Qiu. So he began to strengthen the cultivation of young player Raphael at the right-back position, and now he has made up his mind not to buy people.

This also has something to do with the lack of excellent right backs in European football. The current outstanding right backs are basically no reassuring players except Alves, Maicon, Ram, and Ramos. Players like Glenn, Johnson, Sabaleta, Sarnia, etc. are basically non-selling products from various clubs.

In this case, Ferguson chose to cultivate himself.

Purchase and cultivation have become two different powerful strategies implemented by various Premier League teams before the winter break.

Coincidentally, Ye Qiu also appeared in the first class of Tottenham Hotspur’s new youth training丨Coach Training丨Class. The location was in the conference hall of the News Building in Theobord. The theme of his class was the new model of football success.

"Once, many years ago, before the Boseman Act, the player mobility in European and even world football was relatively poor. At that time, all teams were basically mainly trained by their own players, such as the Milan Dynasty, such as Real Madrid's Five Eagles, Barcelona's Dream Team, Ajax, etc., all of them are all like this."

"Because of poor mobility of players, when a team needs to be supplemented or strengthened at a certain position, it is generally difficult for them to find the right one outside and be able to dig out the stars. So their best choice is to look back at their youth training camp, and then select a suitable one and cultivate it."

With Ye Qiu's remarks, many youth training rosters of wealthy teams before the Boseman Act appeared on the big screen behind him. All future youth training rosters who came to the scene can easily find a lot of former superstars from them, perhaps their idols.

"We are looking back at the superstars in the past. We are prone to a wrong thinking, thinking that they are so powerful as soon as they debut, or always imagine them very well and perfectly in our minds. In fact, this is not the case at all. They are like current players, with shortcomings and deficiencies, and they also have times when they make mistakes and perform poorly."

"So..." When he said this, Ye Qiu smiled, "...Some people say that the strongest star in history is in everyone's mind, and I think this is correct at all."

These words made all the students present burst into laughter. You should know that Ye Qiu personally taught the class not only attracted the coaching students in this period, but also attracted most of the coaches of Theobord, even the first-team coaches, and some of them had no place to sit and stood directly.

But each of this group of people was taking notes seriously. It was obvious that Ye Qiu's words seemed to them like the Bible, and they regarded them as their future direction and opportunity to break through and improve themselves.

"But this situation gradually changed with the birth of the Boseman Act, and after that, the mobility of players has been greatly improved, especially in the EU. Of course, there was no EU at that time, but there were similar organizations."

"This kind of improvement in player mobility has made many teams, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Inter Milan, etc., some wealthy teams with wealthy teams have money and think it is not worthwhile to raise players. It is better to pay for money to directly introduce suitable players. There are so many players around the world who can choose whatever you want, so they gave up the business model they used to turn into a business model that focuses on buying."

"So during that period, youth training was almost forgotten. We noticed that since the mid-to-late 1990s, Germany has not had outstanding stars except for a few such as Barack and Klose. Did Real Madrid produce youth training after Raul, Guti and Casillas?"

"Similarly, if you look at Manchester United, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus, we can easily find that at this time the giant teams are mainly buying and poaching, which directly leads to the increasing transfer fees of players and the rising salary requirements of players."

"In this process, I have to mention a team, Barcelona, ​​which is a very special wealthy family, because they always attach importance to youth training 丨This has a certain relationship with my good friend Cruyff. In addition, Barcelona was at the lowest point in history during that period, so if you don't have money, you can only pay attention to your own training."

Ye Qiu's words made everyone laugh again, but he was very serious. "I don't mean to belittle Barcelona, ​​but what I want to say is that there are indeed quite a lot of teams. The reason they pursue youth training is because they have no money, such as my other good friend, my neighbor Wenger and his Arsenal."

There was a burst of laughter at the audience, louder than before, and Ye Qiu himself couldn't help but smile. I wonder if Wenger would scold him to death after hearing this.

"But I want to say that this situation is now silently and not being discovered by most people, because we must clearly realize that people's hearts will never be satisfied. When a player's transfer fee is getting higher and higher, and the player's own salary requirements are also rising steadily, the club's tolerance will definitely have a peak, and he cannot rise endlessly, even a team like Manchester City can't stand it."

"So, in our Chinese, this is called "Everything will turn out to be the opposite, that is, when you can't bear high salary and high transfer fees, what will you do?"

Many youth training students present nodded, and some even shouted, "Cultivate yourself"

"Yes, train yourself." Ye Qiu nodded with a smile, "It's like another good friend of mine, Ferguson, he can't buy right back, so he can only train himself, let's bless him."

There was another burst of laughter, and Ye Qiu went around the conference room and returned to the front of the big screen.

"This is the development history of football clubs over the past twenty years. We will find that we have gone around and we have returned to the old path. But please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that football is going backwards. What I want to say is that football, whether it is club management or tactical innovation, is actually taking a spiral upward path. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ye Qiu's inquiry received answers from most of the people present, and they all explained it clearly.

"I'm talking to you so much. I'm not telling you the history of football clubs, nor do I want to tell you all the messy truths. I want to tell you that in the next ten years, youth training will be the core competitiveness of all clubs, because the transfer fee, especially the transfer fee of top players, will be high enough to make you dare not look up to it."

"In a simpler sentence, what is the most expensive in the 21st century?"

Everyone in the "Talent" conference room shouted with laughter.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Yes, talent, players are talents, coaches are talents, youth training丨Coaches are talents, and scouts are also talents. I tell you, everyone, everyone who works in a club is a talent, and only clubs that value talents have hope of success."

Ye Qiu's words immediately received thunderous applause because he almost elevated the role of this group of people to the level of top stars, and even sounded even higher.

Anyone who is familiar with Ye Qiu knows that his Ye Zi Technology attaches most importance to talent. An internal reform promoted by Ye Qiu not long ago was to maximize the value of talent. Now, he wants to pass on this concept to Tottenham Hotspur and to everyone working in this club, even if he is just a sweeping aunt.

"As I said just now, youth training is the trend of the future, the mainstream, and the wave. So in youth training, what is the most important and most valuable? Star embryo? Wrong, you are the ones who explore and guide these young players to make progress. You will be the most important and scarce talents in the future football field.

Ye Qiu's words were immediately received thunderous applause again, and many people even responded to him with cheers.

"We Chinese have a saying that I am born to be useful, which means that God creates everyone with his role, but what I want to say is that the most important thing for everyone in their life is to understand their own role and play their own role in the world."

"I will tell you all this today. I want to tell you, my future colleagues, you will have the opportunity to become a top superstar in the future and the most important person on the road to growth, because you will be responsible for helping them understand their role in this team and the world, and helping them better play their role. This will affect the life of the players. This is also an extremely noble and worthy of respect for everyone."

Ye Qiu's words were nodded by everyone present. Perhaps many of them came to this coach training class with one purpose or another, but Ye Qiu's words not only clearly told them that the job will have a promising future, but also gave this job an extraordinary significance.

No one would say that Ye Qiu was talking big, because among all the teams in the Premier League, only Tottenham Hotspur has set up a special youth training coach training class, and this training class has also been recognized by UEFA. The investment in this area is quite substantial every year, but Ye Qiu is willing to do so.

In his opinion, youth training丨Coaching is the scariest profession in the future and what English football needs most now

Want to improve your youth training丨Is it possible to do this without these young players and cultivate young players' youth training丨Coaches and scouts?

Therefore, in Ye Qiu's view, this is an investment in the future, not only for Tottenham Hotspur's future development, but also for English football.

However, relatively speaking, Ye Qiu is more willing to make his own ideas more selfish. After all, he has never been a great person who wants to change everything. He is very small and just thinks about how to change himself and the people and things around him.
