As the director of Sheffield Wednesday's youth team, Nick Amelia is not only in charge of everything in the youth team, he is also in charge of all Sheffield Wednesday's under-19 echelons. It can be said that the entire Sheffield Wednesday youth training system is under the control of this man.
This director was only hired by Michael this year. After winning the League Two championship and being promoted to League One last season, Michael also spent a lot of money on the youth training system, including hiring more coaches. To improve the team¡¯s youth training.
As for Nick, he did not come from a major and was not well-known, but his long-term position in the youth training bases of various clubs allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience in teaching young people, so he was hired by Michael with a lot of money and appointed With a heavy responsibility - in charge of the team's under-19 youth team. [bsp; Although Michael himself is not very willing to let such an unknown person be in charge of the team's youth team, Sheffield Wednesday, which has just been promoted to the First Division, can only spend money on such a person who has certain strength and has no talent. What a famous coach.
But in fact, Michael's investment was not a failure, but rather a success, because Nick quickly demonstrated his ability in youth training after coming to Sheffield Wednesday. The youth team is not as easy to manage as the adult team. , after all, the adult team is all professional players, and they have only one goal, which is to compete for honors for the team, but the echelon is different. The students in it are apprenticeship contracts, and they have more futures before turning into professional players. Choose, even if you are not a professional player, so the management of the echelon is far more difficult than that of the adult team. After Nick arrived, Sheffield Wednesday's various echelons became more organized under his management, so Michael snickered secretly while raising his position a little bit - from youth team coach to youth training director.
Nick was very happy to be appreciated by his boss and vowed to make some achievements to repay Michael's attention. As the director of youth training, the only way he can repay the club is to train outstanding players for the club one after another.
However, the newly rebuilt Sheffield Wednesday youth team does not have any outstanding prospects to recommend for the time being. Although Sheffield Wednesday recruits a group of students every year, those who are still very immature rarely have the talent to become first-class players.
Ouyang Ao once paid attention to Sheffield Wednesday's youth training. After he possessed John Johnny and became the head coach of Sheffield Wednesday, he visited the echelon. At that time, the club had not hired Nick, but the quality of the young players in the echelon was not good at that time. Okay, so Ouyang Ao will rarely come here in the future. This makes Nick think that the coach who is the head coach of the club and holds the power of transfer will come to his youth training camp for sightseeing, because Ouyang Ao can definitely find a better player from the transfer market. Anyway, Ouyang Ao has always been They did this instead of coming to him to find young talents.
Therefore, when Ouyang Ao appeared on the sidelines of the training field, Nick even suspected that he was hallucinating, or that the person who came was just a person who looked very similar to the head coach Mr. John.
It wasn¡¯t until Ouyang Ao came to him and greeted him that he realized that the person in front of him was indeed Ouyang Ao, the current head coach of Sheffield Wednesday¡¯s first team.
"Hello, Mr. John! I didn't expect you to come to my place." Facing Ouyang Ao, Nick's attitude seemed very humble. After all, Ouyang Ao, who led Sheffield Wednesday to promotion, had a high status in the club. Nick didn't want anything to happen. His indifferent attitude angered this powerful man for nothing.
"It's nothing, it's just that the first team has no work today, so come and take a look! You know, the chairman Mr. Michael and I both attach great importance to Sheffield Wednesday's youth training, because they represent the future of Sheffield Wednesday!"
Ouyang Ao's words slightly changed Nick's view of this young but meritorious coach of Sheffield Wednesday. It seems that his boss still attaches great importance to the club's youth training. In this case, his work must also be Much easier.
"So, Mr. John came to the youth team today. Do you want to focus on observing the young people in a certain position? Or just take a look around?"
Ouyang Ao just thought for a moment and answered his question: "Well, just take a look around!"
In fact, he really doesn¡¯t have a fixed target to inspect. He came to the youth team today just because he had nothing to do in his free time.
"This year we have recruited more than 100 apprentices. After screening, the club has retained more than 30 apprentices, and one or two of them have quite good potential."
While introducing, Nick led Ouyang Ao into the training ground. Following Nick, Ouyang Ao visited the under-19 youth team, the under-16 youth team and the under-14 youth team. He found that no matter where he went, Each venue will attract the attention of countless young players in the stadium. It has been several years since I came near them.He worked hard to show off his abilities all the time, and there was even a goalkeeper who played extraordinary games in his backcourt.
It seems that these young people want to show how good they are in front of the current head coach. If the head coach values ??them for this, then their future will be infinitely bright.
Many people have imagined this scene in their hearts: You perform well, the head coach¡¯s eyes shine, and he praises you loudly that you are the most talented player I have ever seen. Then he is promoted to the first team, and then plays in the first team. After his stunning debut, he becomes a famous star, signs a big contract, gets a huge salary, and then leads the team to win one championship after another
Although dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel. These young people who performed hard on the training ground only attracted a few glances from the head coach, but failed to successfully stop the head coach.
In fact, Ouyang Ao can tell the potential of these young people in the stadium just by looking at it. The under-19 youth team has signed an apprenticeship contract, so Ouyang Ao can check their potential at a glance. Go, there are only two guys in the under-19 youth team with a potential value over 170, and the rest are almost pitiful
This makes Ouyang Ao lament that if he wants to become the second La Masia, Sheffield Wednesday¡¯s youth training still needs to work hard
After walking around for a while, Ouyang Ao didn't leave a single comment, and then followed Nick back to the original venue, which was the training ground for Sheffield Wednesday's 16-year-old youth team.
"I'm sorry, I didn't do my job well!" After this lap, Ouyang Ao didn't even stop. It was obvious that the head coach was not satisfied with the performance of these young people. This made Nick feel very embarrassed. He Although there is no excessive emphasis on discipline, most of the players have forgotten the overall concept because of Ouyang Ao's arrival. Even the goalkeeper's behavior of showing off his tricks still makes him feel depressed. He even I wonder if I have indulged these boys too much?
Ouyang Ao didn't care very much. He just waved his hand and said it was nothing. "Young people are like this! It's okay if they are willing to show themselves now, but if they enter the youth team, they need to emphasize the importance of discipline." The young people Ouyang Ao was referring to The team naturally refers to the 19-year-old youth team, which is directly affiliated with the reserve team. This is the last stop of the youth training system. After a young player enters this team, he will eventually face the most brutal competitive environment.
Only extremely outstanding talents will be promoted to the first team. Generally, the outstanding ones will only enter the reserve team. Most of them will be loaned to smaller teams to continue training, and most of the youth teams will be promoted to the first team. Most of the players will be completely abandoned by the club and then find their own way out. Or find other teams to continue their football career, or even give up football altogether and find another job to make a living. Such talents account for the majority of youth training products.
"I understand!" Fortunately, the performance of the youth team he is mainly responsible for is quite normal. Although some people want to show their abilities in front of the head coach, it is not as outrageous as the youth team. At least there is still cooperation during the simulation game, but some passes may be a little slower, and there will be a few tricks before passing the ball.
While chatting, Ouyang Ao suddenly noticed a short, lean young man on the court dunking the ball at his feet, causing the defensive player in front of him to move his center of gravity with the ball. And just when he shifted his focus to the direction of the ball, the young man was depressed to find that the little man on the opposite side had another dunk, and he easily dodged past him.
Ouyang Ao suddenly felt that this little kid looked familiar. However, like Habi, these members of the under-16 youth team did not sign any professional contracts, so Ouyang Ao could not check their potential, so he could only pay full attention to it. Think of the little player's next performance.
After breaking through the defender in front of him, the little man picked up his speed, and his next move made Ouyang Ao become interested. He pushed the ball under his feet hard, then picked up his speed and shot it forward quickly. The speed was so fast that people were surprised. Even most players in the first team did not have such speed. While Ouyang Ao was secretly surprised, the little man who broke through with the ball had already used his speed to eat up the two players in front of him. A defensive player then kicked the ball into the net before the goalkeeper could attack.
Seeing Ouyang Ao observing the young players on the field attentively, Nick asked: "Mr. John, that little guy's speed is good, but he only has an advantage in speed, and everything else is mediocre"
Ouyang Ao nodded: "He was only recruited this year?"
?Nick shook his head: "He just joined our youth training camp this year, but he was not recruited by us, but his uncle brought him here. I thought his speed was pretty good, so I stayed, but this time Judging from the training effect over a period of time, except for speed, there is still no obvious improvement in other aspects. You know, football is not track and field, and speed alone is not enough"
At this time, the young player happened to turn his face towards Ouyang Ao, which made Ouyang Ao feel more and more familiar, as if he had a familiarity.
