Chapter 820 Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils

"Master Huan!"

"Hey, Ramón, Jorge!"

Just as Yang was smiling and greeting Ramon Madoni and Jorge Griffa, another person suddenly appeared behind the two Argentine football experts.

"Hi, Master Huan!"

"Luigi, why are you here too?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

"Haha, I heard from them that there were some good things to see, so I followed them. Master Huan, I hope you won't mind?"

Isn't this old man with silver-framed glasses, bald head and silver hair, Inter Milan's chief scout, Pier Luigi Casiraghi?

Ordinary fans may not know Casiraghi, but this scout is very famous in Europe.

Inter Milan has produced many talented players in its youth training camp over the years, and Casiraghi's scout team has made an indelible contribution to this.

Young players such as Balotelli, Santon and Benassi were all discovered and cultivated by Casiraghi.

Therefore, after Yang Huan acquired Inter Milan, he improved their treatment across the board.

It is worth mentioning that one of the important reasons why Inter Milan's youth training camp is quite successful is that they have built seven training camps in various parts of Italy, and each training camp is strictly planned in accordance with Milan's Faceti Youth Training Center.

There are a total of 54 teams and more than 10,000 young players in these seven training camps.

The entire youth training program is usually managed by Inter Milan legends Baresi and Giuliano Lusca.

In addition, Inter Milan also has a network of more than 20 scouts who are responsible for discovering young players from this large youth training team, as well as from Italy and across Europe through video and field visits every day.

Luigi Casiraghi is the most famous gold medal scout in this youth training team.

Even in Italian and European football, it is second to none.

This time, Yang Huan plans to build a large-scale youth training camp in China. To a certain extent, he is imitating Inter Milan's approach and drawing on Inter Milan's rich experience in this regard.

And since the scouting networks of Southampton and Inter Milan have been integrated, Casiraghi often meets Madoni, Griffa and others, so it is not surprising that they are together.

These three guys are all well-known for their sharp eyes in European football. It is such a respectful treatment for them to get together to observe a player. If it weren't for Young Master Huan, who would have this qualification?

But as long as he passes the assessment of the three of them, then the player's ability and potential are basically certain.

So Yang Huan was also very happy about it.

After introducing these three youth training experts who were well-known in European football to Mr. Xu, Yang Huan signaled the start of the competition.

Since they are all U15 youth teams, the team's tactics are not as strict as those of the adult team, so the players on the field can get more space and the scene is more unrestrained. (

Knowing that there were scouts from Europe's top teams watching outside the stadium, the players on the field also worked particularly hard. Almost everyone tried their best and seized every opportunity to show themselves, and there were many shining moments.

But they don’t know that these self-righteous shining points of theirs often expose their shortcomings and weaknesses, and may even expose their temperament, in the eyes of professional scouts.

This is not an exaggeration at all!

Everything that happens on the football field changes rapidly. Even the U15 competition is very compact and hard-working. It is impossible to give the players on the field too much reaction time. They play more by instinct and rely on their nature to drive their bodies.

In this situation, many of the character traits that players usually try to hide will be exposed.

For example, some players look very strong on weekdays, but they may appear hesitant on the court. They want to take the ball but dare not pass it because they are afraid of making mistakes. Such players usually do not have enough confidence in themselves.

Just imagine, if this is the case in a competitive match, wouldn’t they be cowards in a real professional competition or a top professional league?

Many people don’t know that professional football pays special attention to two aspects when evaluating a player, especially a young player.

One is physical fitness, because without excellent physical fitness, it is impossible to play in the professional league.

Another thing is strong mental quality.

Many people say that Balotelli is very stupid, but from another perspective, isn’t Balotelli’s stupidity also a reflection of his strong psychological quality?

Maybe he has mental defects, but he has a big heart and is fearless no matter what the situation.

Even if you say that he is ignorant and fearless, it’s fine. At least, he is truly fearless!

Professional players are under a lot of pressure. It’s okay when they win, but when they lose, the pressure is enough to suffocate.

Therefore, without strong psychological qualities, it is difficult to play in the professional league.

Southampton and Inter Milan have very high standards for selecting youth players, and their requirements are also very high both physically and mentally.

According to the standards of both teams, most of the players on the field who meet the requirements of football schools are not qualified.

But some players are like a cone. Even if they are put into a cloth bag, their sharp corners will be exposed.

"Master Huan, the one you want us to see is the short guy in yellow clothes, size nine?" Ramon Madoni asked with a smile.

Yang Huan nodded and smiled, "Yeah, how do you feel?"

"Very good!" Madoni nodded, "It's just that his physique is a little weak, and the stability of his movements is not good enough."

Don't underestimate the stability of movement, because it is very important for a player.

It's like a simple stop.

Take anyone who has the potential to become a professional player and let him practice the same ball-stopping move over and over again. At the very least, he can ensure that he can do forty or fifty kicks without any deformation and can accurately control the error in stopping the ball.

Because in a game, even a forward will have dozens of opportunities to stop the ball.

Moreover, it should be noted that this was a ball-stopping action completed under high-intensity pressure during the game.

If there is a mistake, the team will lose the ball, the players will make mistakes, and there may not even be another chance.

Therefore, professional players who can pass these rigorous tests and stand out must have sufficient stability in their movements.

Mr. Xu was also very impressed when he heard this.

Gao Ren has been working hard on his technical moves for two years, and he believes he has a solid foundation.

But unexpectedly, Southampton's chief scout saw it at a glance.

"Before he was ten years old, he had never received formal professional training. He just played football by himself, so his movements were not standard. In the past two years, he started to receive professional training from me. He has made great progress. Moreover, this child is willing to work hard, so he should be able to continue to improve!"

Yang Huan nodded continuously as he listened. Only if one can endure hardships can one master the basic skills.

Many people believe that playing football depends on talent, and they only see outstanding talents like Ronaldinho and Messi.

However, they never realize how much hard work and sweat these so-called geniuses have put in that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Otherwise, why would Ronaldinho's condition immediately plummet after he relaxed?

"You mean, he is only twelve years old?" Griffa asked in surprise.

"Yes, he is only twelve years old." Mr. Xu answered with certainty.

Maybe, in other football schools, there would be cases of false reporting of age, but in his school, it definitely didn’t happen!

Griffa and Madoni looked at each other and nodded.

"I originally thought that if he was already fifteen, his potential wouldn't be that great, but I didn't expect that he was only twelve, so he still had a lot of potential to be tapped!"

"Yes, the most impressive thing about this player is his ball sense, which is really great, not inferior to Ravel Morrison at all. What's even more rare is that he is only twelve years old and has great plasticity!" Griffa also praised.

Griffa is a youth training coach. He has trained countless players and has extremely rich experience in training players. He also has very sharp eyes and almost never makes mistakes.

The assessment and prediction of young players is a rather complicated system.

Just like what Madoni said just now, if Gao Ren was fifteen years old, although he had certain talents and potential, he would not be eye-catching.

But if he was twelve years old, the situation would be completely different.

From their words and expressions, it was not difficult to see that they were amazed at Gao Ren.

Of course, out of a rigorous attitude, Gao Ren will definitely be tested before entering the Saints' youth training camp, especially his bone age.

With his outstanding talent, if he is really twelve years old, Southampton will definitely invest a lot of resources and effort in him. If in the end, they find out that he lied about his age, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

"Mr. Xu, how old is the No. 6 in the yellow clothes?"

Luigi Casiraghi, who had been standing aside in silence, suddenly asked.

"Number six?" Yang Huan noticed it only then, and hurriedly looked for number six in yellow clothes on the training ground.

"Yes, number six!" Casiraghi nodded very affirmatively.

Old Xu glanced at the training ground. "Number six is ​​Wang Lei, he is fourteen years old this year, and has played for me for seven years. He is known as the Little Zheng Zhi, and can play in many positions. He is very versatile and a very smart kid."

"Yes, he is really very smart!" Casiraghi nodded and smiled appreciatively.

"When other players were trying their best to show themselves, he seemed very calm, methodical, and controlled the game and rhythm without making a sound."

When Yang Huan heard Luigi Casiraghi say this, it seemed to be true.

The guy called Wang Lei was not very impressive and his performance was not particularly eye-catching, but the Yellow Team had a completely overwhelming advantage and the performances of several frontcourt players were also quite impressive.

Logically speaking, the front players performed well and the team had an overwhelming advantage, so the midfielders should have made great contributions.

But he didn't have any performance that was particularly eye-catching, which was a bit unreasonable.

If I really have to explain it, I can only say that I am shortsighted.

"I have also been paying attention to number six for a long time. Among this group of players, his physical fitness is really outstanding. He has been running since the start of the competition and has hardly stopped. Moreover, he runs very smartly and always runs to open spaces." Griffa also praised.

Madoni also nodded and said: "He has very solid basic skills, is very calm, and has a lot of ideas when passing the ball. What's more rare is that when everyone is thinking about going forward to participate in the attack and show themselves, he retreats to the penalty area many times to participate in the defense. He reminds me of someone."

"Who?" Yang Huan asked with interest.

"Javier Mascherano!"

"Mascherano?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

Isn’t this praise too high?

"Master Huan, although Mascherano is known as a defensive player, when he was in Argentina, his offensive and organizational abilities were not weak at all. He was good at both offense and defense. It's just that after he came to Europe and participated in the professional league, his responsibilities tended to be defensive, so people mistakenly thought he only knew how to defend."

Hearing him say that, it seems to be true.

Looking at Mascherano in the World Cup, sitting in the midfield, he really looks like the core of the midfield.

As for player transformation, it is not uncommon.

For example, Anderson, who once played for Manchester United, went to the Red Devils with the title of Ronaldinho's successor. What was the result?

And there is Mikel, a technically sophisticated attacking midfielder, but when he went to Chelsea, he became a beast midfielder.

Liverpool's Lucas, when he was in Brazil, what was he if not the core of the midfield?

So, many times, whether a professional player can play well and in which position he can play well all depends on luck!
