Chapter 905 Young Master Huan Hugs His Thighs
In fact, in European football, there has always been a prevailing voice, that is, localization.
As a football fan, Yang Huan found it difficult to understand when he saw many people, from UEFA President Platini to retired former stars, calling for localization, focusing on training local players, and maintaining local traditions. He felt that this was closing the country to the outside world and being self-contained.
However, after being immersed in European football for so many years, and especially after having deeply managed so many European teams, Yang Huan gradually realized that these people's calls were not conservative or stubborn, but a kind of foresight.
As we all know, professional football is now globalized, and even the tactical exchanges and integration between countries are becoming more and more common. For example, the high-intensity pressing and oppression pursued by Guardiola in Barcelona must have blended many different elements.
Spain's small and fast, Germany's integrated approach, England's pressing and surrounding, Italy's catenaccio...
These elements can be seen in Guardiola's tactics.
In other words, integration has become the general trend.
But this involves another issue.
That is the general trend of integration, which does not mean that everyone has to play the ball control tactics similar to Barcelona.
Because that is what Guardiola created based on Barcelona's original traditional football elements, incorporating the strengths of various teams. But is it suitable for other leagues and other teams?
To give the simplest example, after he went to Germany and coached Bayern Munich, his playing style was very different from that in Barcelona. This was not only because he was improving and perfecting himself, but also because the environment in Germany and Bayern Munich forced him to actively adapt.
In other words, what if he went to the Premier League?
It is entirely foreseeable that he will use a style of play that is very different from Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
What remains unchanged is the concept and pursuit, but the methods and means to realize the concept must conform to the objective environment, right?
In the Premier League, Manchester City is the team that pays the most attention to ball possession tactics. There is not a single local player in the core players of this team. The team is filled with European players such as Yaya Toure, David Silva, Nasri, etc. The ball possession tactics they play are also very skilled. But why can't they play it well in the Champions League?
When many people mention Manchester City, the first thing they mention is spirit!
They believe that Manchester City has lost the traditional spirit of English football.
Perhaps someone will ask, what is that?
It is a fighting will that supports the players to work together to complete a game, to carry out high-intensity and fast-paced pressing and siege, and never give up until the last moment!
This spirit has been possessed by many English players, such as Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Roy Keane and Vieira, and not only do they have it, but they have also instilled it into the team.
That's why Liverpool was able to complete the Istanbul miracle, Manchester United was able to miraculously reverse the situation and win the treble in 1999, Arsenal was able to have a great unbeaten championship season, and Chelsea was able to win consecutive championships as a nouveau riche.
These are not false!
Because in the final analysis, football relies on people, real people!
Every country has its own characteristics, and every country's football also has its own characteristics and heritage. Only the people of this country can best understand and inherit this characteristic and spirit.
So, they call for localization!
But this is only from the football and tactical perspective. What if we look at it from a management and economic perspective?
Just imagine, when the styles of the five major European leagues tend to be unified and the playing styles are very similar, whether it is the British **, the French strongmen, the German tanks, or the Italian handsome guys, they all play the small and fast Spanish style. What would it feel like?
By that time, all European teams will have the same style. Will that still be interesting?
At this point, someone will definitely say, what nonsense, how is this possible?
Are you crazy to let those strong British men kick Xiao Kuai Ling?
Yes, this is unlikely.
The so-called inability is precisely because of the local characteristics!
The reason why the Champions League is exciting and interesting is that it has a variety of different styles and tactics with different concepts colliding fiercely on the football field, and players of different types and sizes competing on the same field.
The five major leagues can coexist because they each have their own characteristics.
If they all lose their characteristics and their styles become unified, European football will be dead!
From the perspective of the Premier League, they can never compete with Barcelona in terms of ball possession.
If you weaken your own strengths and attack the enemy's strengths, you will surely die!
This is why Platini, Ferguson, Gerrard and others have called for localization and the emphasis on local characteristics.
The thing that Yang Huan is most grateful for in all the years since he entered European football is that he hired Bielsa.
The almost insane zeal of the Argentine madman has been integrated into Southampton's blood. His madness, his persistence, his tenacity and his never-give-up attitude resonate with the traditional characteristics of England.
Why is Southampton the team that has done the best job of continentalization in the Premier League?
Because of Bielsa!
He can make Ibrahimovic drag his 1.9-meter-tall, nearly 100-kilogram body on the court and press the opponent's defender at all costs.
He can also transform the technically sophisticated Toni Kroos from Germany's most delicate and artistic midfielder into an unbreakable iron gate that runs more than 12 kilometers per game and always appears in front of the back line.
He can also let Hazard, Sanchez, James Rodriguez, Neymar and many other stars fulfill their duties by grabbing the ball and fighting for every inch of land on the football field.
Yang Huan's original choice was correct. Bielsa not only has the most advanced tactical concepts and the most profound tactical knowledge, he also has the fighting spirit that best fits the Premier League.
This is the case with Southampton, a newly emerged team, but they are invincible in Europe and the Premier League, but Manchester City cannot!
Think about it carefully, when did Arsenal start to decline?
In Yang Huan's view, there is no doubt that the tactics of the Premier League giants must be reformed and advanced tactical concepts must be introduced.
But the premise is that we must not lose the most traditional things of the Premier League.
That is the soul of the Premier League and the core element that attracts so many fans around the world.
Without it, the Premier League will lose its core competitiveness!
This is also why, when David Bernstein came to Yang Huan and proposed that he would carry out this reform, Yang Huan remained neutral, not only because it was beneficial to Southampton, but also because it was beneficial to the Premier League.
And neutrality is the greatest support for David Bernstein!
…………
…………
When David Bernstein finished speaking about labor certification reform, most of the audience protested.
Among them, Arsenal protested the most vigorously.
There is no way, this reform has the greatest impact on Arsenal.
I still remember there was a joke that when the English Football Association required each team to have eight locally trained players, Arsenal readily submitted the list.
As a result, the FA officials were dumbfounded when they saw it.
Damn, all eight of them were trained locally, but not one of them is English!
Hamad, who was sitting nearby, saw the crowd was so excited, then looked at Young Master Huan, who was sitting on the Diaoyutai, and leaned over in confusion.
"Master Huan, shouldn't we protest as well?"
Yang Huan was amused when he heard this. "Nah, they are protesting against the damage to their own interests. What are you protesting about?"
"But...our interests have also been harmed!"
"Your interests? What are your interests?"
"This...this..." Hamad was suddenly speechless.
Isn’t it?
What does this have to do with Tottenham Hotspur?
The North London team is based on a wealthy family and all the players they have brought in are worth a lot of money. Are they still afraid of a work permit?
"Don't get involved. This has nothing to do with us." Yang Huan smiled.
"Oh, by the way, have you reached level 11?" Master Huan was talking about Clash of Clans.
"Eleventh?" Hamad nodded immediately, "It's been promoted a long time ago."
"Haha, can you take me with you sometime and help me get promoted?" Yang Huan felt like he was trying to curry favor with someone powerful.
Hamad was so sour and happy. It turned out that Young Master Huan also had to flatter people sometimes.
You know what, their alliance of rich people is the most powerful in Clash of Clans, and every one of them is a super VIP.
But then I think about it again, that’s not right!
"Master Huan, you are really outrageous. I have to pay you to take me with me, and you are the boss of a game company. Is there anyone like you?"
"Hey, kid, this is called separating public and private affairs, understand?" Young Master Huan also got excited, "Besides, I'm giving you face now, letting you flatter me and hug my thighs, understand? This is all thanks to the fact that we are close friends. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to him!"
Hamad almost cried when he heard this.
My dear Master Huan, the game company is yours, the game character is yours, and you even asked me to spend money to help you upgrade. You even said that as if you are taking good care of me and giving me face. Having a close friend like you, I really... want to die!
"Is it okay?" Yang Huan asked.
"no!"
"Really?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Don't push me!"
"You can't kill me!"
"Don't push me!"
"No matter how much you threaten me, abuse me, or even rape me, I won't tolerate it!"
"Fuck, who's interested in raping you?"
"I'm just talking about it!"
"What a metaphor, you are just..."
"Anyway, no matter what you do to me, I won't agree!"
"Hey, I..."
Yang Huan was about to get angry, but something was wrong. Why did everyone in the audience become quiet?
I turned around and looked, nah, why are everyone looking at us?
Hamad also noticed it. Since when did everyone in the audience start staring at the two of us?
Please, please, everyone, don't get the wrong idea, we didn't do anything.
The meeting room was unbearably quiet and everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Everyone was discussing a matter that was almost a matter of life and death, but these two rich second-generations were discussing how to rape each other?
Damn, you guys are really too outrageous.
If you have the ability, perform in public!
"Everyone, we won't talk anymore. You guys continue, you guys continue!" Yang Huan laughed.
After hearing this, how could everyone in the conference room still have the mood to continue arguing?
If we continue arguing like this, we may end up arguing for ten or eight years without coming to any conclusion.
Therefore, after the quarrel was interrupted by Young Master Huan, the meeting room became even quieter.
Perhaps seeing that no one was in the mood to continue arguing, David Bernstein stood up again.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him once again.
"Everyone, we are still in the process of consultation and research on the labor certification issue. We will fully consider your opinions and submit them to the Ministry of the Interior for review when the time is right."
After a pause, David Bernstein looked around at everyone again, with a half-smile on his face.
"Next, I will announce another decision of the English Football Association."
When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.
Any resolution?
Damn it, the English Football Association has been in a weak position for too long and now wants to stand up, right?
They actually threw so many bombs in one breath, do they want to let people live?
