Godfather Of Champions

Tang hadn't answered him yet, and Dunn knew that waiting was no way. Now the first team coaching staff hasn't finished vacation, he can't do anything alone.

He thought of the Forest Youth Team, he hadn't been there for a long time. Although a report about the youth team will be sent to his desk every time, looking at the report data and going to the training ground to see the real person is not a concept.

If Allen and Evan's new stadium plan is implemented, then he really won't get much transfer money in the new season. If you want to compete with other strong teams for the stars in the transfer market, you will feel a little lack of confidence without strong funds. Dunn thought of Wenger, the "Professor" who tightened his belt to live his life in order to build the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal can use the players trained by their strong youth training system to supplement the team lineup. Why not Nottingham Forest? The youth training level of Nottingham Forest is also number one in England.

Maybe there is no second Bale and Wood, but it is always possible to produce a few qualified rotation players?

With this idea, Dunn went straight to the youth training base north of Vilford.

Unlike the first team, the youth team has begun to resume training. In addition, football summer camps for schools are in full swing. Before he walked in, Dunn heard the laughter and whistles coming from inside.

He was wearing sunglasses, hiding quietly in the shade of a tree, observing quietly. He didn't want to go directly to Ian Greenwood, the director of youth training. He decided to observe for himself first, and he had a bottom in his heart.

The five regular stadiums of the youth training base are surrounded by many people. Most of them are the parents of children playing on the court, and some are scouts from other clubs.

Just as Southampton could not prevent Dunn from poaching Bell, Nottingham Forest could not prevent scouts from other teams from coming here to dig a corner.

The youth training base is very lively. You can't see such a scene during the season, because more children are scattered in various schools or training camps in other places. Those training camps are not big. There are only more than fifty children in each training camp, and they are in charge of eight coaches. These training camps are not part of the forest team’s youth regular army. Children who are usually interested in football can accept them here. Basic training. Then there are four days at the end of each month. Nottingham Forest will gather these children to Vilford for intensive training and competitions, select talented children from them, and sign apprenticeship contracts with them, so that they are officially entered. The gate of the forest team.

It is summer, and the children from each training camp are returning to Vilford to participate in the football summer camp under the leadership of their coaches. Play games together to test the results of a year of training. If you perform well, you will be attracted by professional scouts, or promoted to the regular forest youth team, or...by scouts of other teams using clever tongues to seduce away.

The youngest of these children is six years old and the oldest is eighteen years old. They play in groups according to age. Although it is noisy, everything is in order. This is due to the role played by Nottingham Forest's decades-long management system.

Once Jenas, Michael Dawson and Andy Reid were the idols of these children, their goals are now George Wood and Gareth Bale, who led the team to the Champions League, and Wes. Morgan.

Dunn has one age group and one age group.

For the time being, there was no child who could make him shine.

He was a little disappointed, and he didn't know whether it was because the forest team's youth training level was really inferior to that of Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea, or because he was used to seeing world-class stars and treated these immature children. Some look down upon?

After all, not everyone has the dazzling talents of George Wood and Gareth Bale, which can be easily found in a large group of people.

After a round, Dunn decided to go to Ian Greenwood to see if he had any good recommendations.

※※※

Ian Greenwood is leading the forest's U18 team for daily training, these people are the closest to professional football. Some of them can be promoted to the first team of the forest team if they are lucky, and those with bad luck can only go to other places to find another way out, or fight in the reserve team.

Professional football is not as beautiful as people think, thinking that everywhere is an opportunity, just kicking two feet is a big star.

In addition to possessing essential talents, success requires even more indispensable luck.

George Wood and Gareth Bale are the best products of the forest youth training system so far. Their success has attracted the attention of the big giants. It is not the first time that George Wood has been associated with transfer rumors. Gareth Bale has also been rumored that more clubs want him.

Their success increased the pressure on Ian Greenwood.

Both of the above were discovered and cultivated by Tony Dunn in the position of youth director. Bell may have something to do with Greenwood. The more dazzling George Wood is entirely Dunn's direct line.

With these two people in front, people have very high expectations for the Forest Youth Team, looking forward to a blowout in the youth team and continuous production of outstanding players. But it's actually not easy...

Everyone hopes to have "Busby's children" and "Ferguson's Class of Ninety Two" in their hands, but there are too many comprehensive factors for such a large-scale genius to concentrate on one age group.

There are a few good seedlings in the U18 that Greenwood is currently leading. If they are replaced by the Forest team four years ago, they will be promoted directly to the first team and can be the main team, but now...

To be honest, the training level of the forest youth team is a bit unable to keep up with the development speed of the forest first team. It is not that the level of the youth team has declined, but the first team has risen too fast...

Dunn's request for the club to increase capital investment in the youth training base is definitely not a temporary one. He is also very aware of the contradiction between them. It is impossible for the first team to slow down and wait for the youth team to catch up. The only way is to advance the youth team to a very high level. Just like Chelsea, where Abramovich stayed, he spent money to build the most modern youth academy, buy the best equipment, go around digging for the best youth team coaches with a high salary, and then use the money to hire the best youth In the football field of the team, money is used to dig up outstanding young talents from all over the world. These things are put together to make Chelsea's level of inquiries into the top four, keeping pace with the established youth teams of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Ian Greenwood does not know that the club does not plan to increase investment in the youth team immediately. If he knows, what will he feel?

From afar, some players saw the first team coach Tony Dunn walk into the training ground. They were very happy to greet the legendary coach who walked out of the youth team.

The sound alarmed Greenwood. He turned his head to see Dunn, threw the whistle to his assistant, and walked up quickly.

"Tony, you are a rare visitor." He joked.

When Dunn was the supervisor of this training base, he was Dunn's coach. After Dunn left, Dunn's assistant coach Chris Lak was promoted to the head of the youth team and he became Chris Lak's assistant coach. Later, Tang became the supervisor here with his outstanding professional knowledge and coaching level, and he became Tang's assistant again. In the end, Tang only stayed here for a short season before being dropped into the first team by Dunn and directly became his assistant coach. And after many years of daughter-in-law, Ian Greenwood can finally become a youth training supervisor.

"I'll take a look at the results of your work." As an old superior, Dunn didn't speak so politely.

"I thought the first team was only buying people from outside." Since it's an old relationship, Greenwood is not so polite.

Dunn crooked his lips and smiled: "Where is there such a good thing? You may not come if you are rich, and you may not need to be willing to come."

Greenwood looked at Dunn's face and suddenly thought of a possibility. He tentatively asked, "Hey, Tony. Why don't you run out of money? You want to come to me to buy bargains?"

"Hey!" Dunn glared at him, "Look at what you are talking about? What is a bargain! They are our team's hope for the future!" Dunn pointed to those young people who trained harder and more serious. Said righteously. "But...hands are really tight recently."

Greenwood laughed.

"It's so lively outside, don't you find anything good?" He pointed to the distance. U18 training is at the northernmost and innermost part of the base, which is much quieter than outside.

Dunn shook his head: "There are too many people, and I didn't find it for a while. But aren't your people there, they didn't tell anything interesting?"

"It will take a few days to find out."

"Um... well, let's just order. Is there anything you can recommend to the first team?" Dunn asked.

"That's it..." Greenwood glanced at Dunn, with a curved line hanging from the corner of his mouth, "You have to find it yourself, Tony."

Come here again!

Paul Hart's traditional mini-games have become a repertoire of the Forest team coach.

Dunn glared at Greenwood, and then stood on the sidelines to observe carefully.

His eyes were first attracted by a tall man. It’s not how good this tall guy is. People are always accustomed to putting the first sight on those who are outstanding, regardless of men and women... For example, this young man, he is too tall, you can’t see him. Do not believe.

He whistled and said to Greenwood next to him: "This kid has to be six feet three, right?"

Greenwood knew who he was referring to, and he shook his head: "No, six feet and seven inches."

Dunn was taken aback by this number.

Six feet three inches is about 1.94 meters, and six feet seven inches is more than two meters.

He looked at the big man again, he was taller than everyone on the court, two meters shouldn't be an exaggeration.

"how old is he?"

"Seventeen."

"Hmm..." Dunn said nothing and continued to observe.

This giant is a central defender on the field. He is doing header exercises. His height allows him to take advantage of the air. Generally speaking, players with this height usually do not jump very well, because their body structure determines that they do not jump too high. But the man in front of him bounced very well.

After he finished his header practice, he followed his teammates to a return run.

The speed is not too slow.

Dunn was a little interested in this fast and excellent aerial giant. He asked: "What's his name?"

"Aaron Mitchell (Aaron_Mitchell). Now he is the defensive core of the team. The physical fitness is very good, but the shortcomings are also obvious-the tackle technique is very bad, and the header is not counted by his height. it is good."

Dunn nodded. "Training for two years, look at the results, if possible, rent out to exercise. His body is his talent, skills... let's take it slow."

The two let go of the big giant and went to search for the next target.

The assistant coach of the youth team saw that the head coach of the first team came, and he knew what Dunn was here for.

He didn't ask for Ian Greenwood, the director of youth training, but changed the training plan on his own initiative and let the players on the field play in teams.

Since Dunn became the director of youth training, one of the principles set for the forest team’s youth training base is "all based on actual competition". Each team has its own characteristics and traditions. Now the tradition of the forest team is "results". First, first in the game". Therefore, in the youth team, training also requires those young people in accordance with the competition standards. If a young man fancy ball is very good, can win a round of applause, Dunn will also dismiss it. Because in the game, you will not be given the opportunity to play this alone on the court. He requires that training must be combined with the ball. Training without the ball is of no value to him, that is, everyone in the lap must run with the ball. From the youth team over the age of seventeen to the adult team, they have adhered to this training principle, focusing on having the ball, competition and confrontation.

Dunn is very happy with this temporary change. He can more intuitively understand the comprehensive abilities of these players-technical, psychological, physical, and competitive status. Regardless of the advantages or disadvantages, they will be fully exposed in the competition and there is nowhere to escape.

After the game started, a person quickly attracted Dun En's attention, and his sight always followed this person.

At a young age, he wore the No. 10 jersey of the Forest Youth Team.

He drove the ball on the right side of the court and no one can stop him. Sometimes he would switch to the center to shoot long shots, but obviously he prefers to be active on the wing, because the center has too many defensive forces to prevent him. It's a breakthrough, but it's different on the side.

His technique is excellent, he likes to excel, and he is fast.

The defensive side often needs to use two or three people to pinch him. If it is one-on-one, he will pass him mercilessly.

※※※

"Hey, Ad! You are too cunning!" The defender who was defending the No. 10 complained when he was close. "Although the first-team coach is on the sidelines, you don't have to be so unkind, right?"

The number 10 smiled: "James, if you can stop me, wouldn't you be able to impress the coach even more?"

The other party was stunned when he heard this, "You are also pretty good...Ah!"

Just as he was stunned, No. 10 slipped past him like a loach, and a beautiful ball passed!

"You cunning liar, Adriano!"

※※※

"That number 10, what is it called?" Dunn uttered to the number 10 player on the court.

"Moke, Adriano_Moke (Adriano_Moke). He is the best technically in this team. Although he looks a little immature now, he is improving very quickly."

Dunn nodded. This kid is indeed very skilled and courageous, knowing that he is watching, so he is very active.

However, it's a pity... his position is the right midfielder. At present, the first team already has Ashley Young and Alan Lennon in this position. In July, there will be a Beckham who will be overcrowded. The next few years may not have this kid's position.

Dunn thought for a while, then asked: "Can he play other positions?"

"The midfield is also okay, but... he himself prefers to move on the right side, and compared to his right foot technique, his left foot can be described as terrible. Out of the right midfielder and central midfielder, He can't adapt to other positions."

Dunn shook his head slightly. It really doesn't work. Sell it when you train it. On the one hand, you can make some money for the club. On the other hand...so as not to delay this kid.

Then Dunn and Greenwood watched for a long time on the sidelines. He observed some players, and then asked Greenwood about the specific conditions of those players, and then made a judgment.

The final result is... he didn't find a player who could be dropped directly into the first team, but he saw some pretty good shoots in it. If they are cultivated well, plus some luck, these people have the ability to become the future. Rotating players in the forest first team may be the main force in other Premier League mid-range teams.

He felt that this was the reality. How could there be so many geniuses who had shocked the world to be caught? I have no money and no power, so what can I do with Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea to compete for geniuses?

Because Wenger's Arsenal youth training is so famous, many young talents would rather go to Arsenal to be trained by a professor than to other teams. But how do they know that Arsenal’s youth team has gathered talents from all over the world. If they are not particularly top-notch, where is their turn? Everyone wants to be the next Cesc Fabregas. Is it that easy? When Special Olympics Walcott joined Arsenal, it made a sensation in England and even Europe. Now? Fabregas is the core of Arsenal's midfield, Walcott can only be a substitute. In Dunn's view, this kid is useless except for his speed. He doesn't use his brain to play football at all, he only knows that he can do it at his own speed.

He decided to look a little farther, let the scouts move around, go to the youth teams of other clubs to dig out the geniuses who have not yet become famous, and there may be some unexpected gains.

Dunn came empty-handed and returned empty-handed. After watching the match, he chatted with the coaches of the youth team and left. Not asking a Qiuyuan to talk alone, which disappointed the children in North Vilford. Everyone knows that this first-team coach comes here once a year, and finally got a chance to perform in front of him, but no one won the bid.

This is so frustrating.

Dunn clapped his hands and left, Greenwood was about to have a headache. He was also responsible for calming the injured hearts of these children, allowing them to re-establish their goals and continue to train hard.

※※※

This group of children didn't know that Dunn still had a few promising players in his heart, but they were still too young...too far to quench their thirst.

In the afternoon, Dunn went to the reserve team for a round, but this time he picked back a substitute goalkeeper.

Paul Gerrard is retired, Van der Sar is old, but the state is still there. If there is no accident, he can still play a year of high-level competition. But who can tell the future? In case of a slight injury or a sudden downturn, Akinfeev will be on top. The first team of a team should have three goalkeepers to avoid the embarrassing situation of unattended goalkeepers.

Dunn didn't meet him rarely when he was playing games. He used to find it troublesome to find a substitute goalkeeper: those with high abilities were unwilling to come on the bench, and the head coach with low abilities looked down on him. The result is always two goalkeepers playing games. If both the main goalkeeper and the substitute goalkeeper are injured, the result is that he has to use any person to be the goalkeeper... Fortunately, it is the game. If it is a reality, he will lose his head.

Last season, he had a headache where to buy a substitute goalkeeper. In the end, Tang got out of the siege and said that Paul Gerrard was a good substitute. This good substitute suffered a skull fracture in October due to the game against Reading, and continued to miss the entire season.

Then the Forest team has been playing all the remaining games with two goalkeepers, one is the main goalkeeper, and the other is the young goalkeeper he wants to return to the first team in the reserve team-only twenty-year-old Dale Roberts (Dale_Roberts) .

A year ago, he was still a young goalkeeper in the U19 youth team, but Paul Gerrard’s injury gave him the opportunity to experience real professional football in the first team. He has grown rapidly during this year, and he is in the cup. Several appearances also allowed the coaching staff to recognize his ability, so in the new season, he will replace the retired Paul Gerrard, become the team's third goalkeeper.

This is the first new member of the Forest team in the new season. Strictly speaking, he is not "new"... He was temporarily dropped into the first team last season, but now he is back.

The signing of the forest team has not officially started, but Dunn has already started to act.

The list is basically determined, just to contact the other agent's business.

The new season is about to begin, and the holidays for players and coaches are about to end. The boring days that made him feel that nothing to do are finally over...
