Chapter 510 Youth training is the foundation
The 02 World Cup was the time when Germany’s talent was at its worst. Although Germany entered the final of that World Cup, they could rely on only two players, Ballack and Kahn. With the suspension of Ballack in the final, Germany was helpless against Brazil.

In 06, the situation in Germany improved, but Li Yi knew that 06 was just the beginning, and then German football would usher in a blowout.

The explosion of talent spurt benefited from the reform of German football youth training. As early as 98, Vogts proposed a talent development plan, but it was not taken seriously at that time. It was not until the strength of the European Cup two years later that Germany began to change.

Immediately, Germany launched a youth training program across the country, and directly allocated more than 4000 million euros to rebuild and deploy nearly [-] training bases. This is also the beginning of the German youth training reform.

Moreover, the German Football Association strictly stipulates that the teams of the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga must have their own youth training, and the nearly [-] training bases arranged in Germany will also provide talents for various German clubs.

In fact, Li Yi also longed for the country to follow suit. When Li Yi came to this world, world football had undergone earth-shaking changes. Any player would have to spend several times more expensive vacation than before, and the Chinese league also attracted some stars because of their willingness to pay high annual salaries.

For this, Li Yi was very resentful every time, because in his opinion, if they were willing to spend the money on high youth training, then maybe Chinese football would not be like this.

Of course, this is just Li Yi's wishful thinking, but if he really follows suit, then it is not the way out for Chinese football, and it can even be said to be the only way out.

But at the same time, Li Yi also knew that in order to develop football in China, the Football Association had to be independent, but unfortunately, this was simply impossible, so Li Yi could only choose to do what he could.

After arriving in Germany, Li Yi thought a little too much, but soon he put these unrealistic thoughts out of his mind, after all, he came here with a mission.

The opener host Germany played against Costa Rica. There was almost no suspense in this game, and the process of the game was not all smooth sailing.

At least at the beginning, Costa Rica still showed its own good strength. After Lahm opened the scoring, Costa Rica quickly equalized the score, relying on the long-term striker Wanchope.

However, 5 minutes later, Klose's goal gave the German team the lead again, and the score of 2:1 was maintained until the end of the midfield. However, the goals of this game were not over yet.

No matter in terms of the score or the scene, this opening match was quite exciting, and Li Yi also performed well in the commentary booth,

This guy not only makes good use of knowing the result of the game, but also analyzes the situation on the court through his identity as an active head coach.

To put it bluntly, Li Yi just bluffed the two partners. Even after the match, the two looked at Li Yi with a hint of admiration. Li Yi not only guessed the result of the score, but also analyzed it logically.

"It's really no loss to the head coach who led two different teams to create the Triple Crown." Many people sighed like this.

Pretending to leave immediately is definitely exciting. Although Li Yi didn't leave Germany immediately, he didn't really leave Germany either. Because of the football school, Li Yi, in his personal capacity, [-]% the German football star Vogts and the general manager of the German youth training.

The two were still looking forward to Li Yi's visit. After all, Li Yi's storm in European football in the past two years has almost subverted the world football's position on the age of head coaches.

Although the two of them were prepared and had read many reports about Li Yi, when they actually saw Li Yi, they were still a little shocked, because Li Yi was really too young. Even after a few years, Li Yi is only 24 years old now.

What is 24 years old?Among the players, 24 has just escaped the meaning of a teenager, but the 24 guy in front of him has already won two Champions League titles, and he is still defending the title, helping two teams create a triple crown in two different top leagues.

Li Yi visited Vogts first, and just learned that Vogts was going to meet the person in charge of the German youth training, so the two went together.

There, Li Yi was really not polite at all, he asked a lot of questions, and even visited a newly built youth training base in Germany.

This was an expensive meeting, because Li Yi spent more than 100 million euros on this side, because after visiting the training base, Li Yi directly ordered the school's training facilities in Germany.

Even Li Yi had the audacity to ask someone to recommend a few youth training coaches. There are a lot of people working in football in Germany, and they also train youth training coaches, so they can really help in this regard.

Those who are willing to engage in youth training are those who really love football, and those who really love football have a lot of common topics, so Li Yi really had a good chat with the person in charge of youth training, especially when he knew that Li Yi actually spent his own money to set up a youth training school.

A pleasant exchange made time pass very quickly, so Li Yi stayed in Germany for three full days, and during these three days, Li Yi reported to the person in charge of the youth training every day.

During these three days, Li Yi also met many people. For example, Erich, the first lecturer of German coaches, is an amazing guy. At present, more than half of the coaches in the German youth training base are trained by him.

Li Yi already thought that after the construction of his football school was completed, he must invite Erich back to give lectures. Of course, if it was impossible, he would send people here to study.

What is the ultimate goal of a youth academy?It's not the facilities or the venue, it's the coaches. As the saying goes, Maxima often has it, but Bole doesn't.

Although Li Yi could act as a Bole under the constant eye of scouts, it was these coaches who really cultivated Maxima into talents. Besides, Li Yi saw the potential, but it was impossible to analyze which position every player was suitable for.

Speaking of which, the system does have this skill, but this skill is too expensive. Even though Li Yi hardly spent points last year, it is still a big gap so far. According to the current speed, Li Yi will have to spend another three seasons to gather the points to buy this skill.

It is obviously impossible for Li Yi to save this skill for three more seasons now, and an excellent coach can replace it. Li Yi can't stay in school all the time, so he plans to use the points saved from last season to buy another skill, one that can speed up the progress of young players.
