Why can Barcelona's youth training camp cultivate so many talents? What is Real Madrid's youth training camp doing?

Real Madrid has an echelon of thousands of people.

Money is sometimes a "bad thing" because it may bring dependence. It's true. At the end of last century, due to the support of the powerful financial group behind Barcelona, former President nunes embarked on the star line, but the sensational transfer of Diego Diego Maradona did not bring Barcelona the league title. Real Madrid, which was heavily in debt at that time, had to work hard to find talents from the second team. The appearance of "Five Eagles of Real Madrid" such as Butragano brought the team five consecutive La Liga titles from 1985 to 1990.

2 1 century, Real Madrid led by florentino began to have the money to recruit the best stars in the world, but Barcelona had to rely on the local Nuggets to cope with the situation because of economic distress. Simply put, if Barcelona had bought Silva or Ribelli last summer, Pedro wouldn't have started so early.

We regard this phenomenon as a historical coincidence, because in the heyday of Real Madrid's Five Hawks hegemony, there were also top scorer hugo sanchez and best left-back Gottillo. Even Barcelona, which currently has 7 to 8 young players in its main lineup, cannot underestimate the contribution of outsiders such as Ibrahimovic, yaya toure and Alves. In short, the formation of the best team needs to be organically combined.

Each club has its own youth training system, which aims to continuously transport talents for the first team. At present, Villarreal and Seville are the most systematic and outstanding youth training in La Liga. Of course, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also the two most famous "Arsenal". However, youth training needs investment, especially when the economic crisis affects the football field, and money is even more hesitant.

Hill, the late former president of Atletico Madrid, once made a mistake. Shortly after he took office, he dissolved the Atletico Youth Team because he didn't want to spend 654.38 million pesetas on youth training every year (the euro was not used at that time). As a result, Real Madrid "picked up" Raul for nothing. Fortunately, Hill changed his mind when he knew his mistake. After rebuilding the youth team, he trained Torres. Atletico Madrid received nearly 40 million euros from Liverpool, far exceeding Hill's investment in youth training in recent years.

Relatively speaking, florentino Bisir is wiser. Seeing that Real Madrid never cultivated superstars after Raul, Guti and casillas, he put forward the team-building policy of "Zidane plus Pa Wen", and did not give up training and tapping young players when introducing foreign aid. However, due to insufficient investment in youth training, although there are more than 1 000 young players at all levels in Real Madrid, not many players are sent to the first team every year, and many players can only be resold to other clubs when they are close to 25 years old.

In view of the current situation of youth training, general manager valdano said helplessly after the century war: "At present, there are more than 100 players trained by the youth training system in La Liga and Real Madrid, playing for different teams respectively. So many brain drain, not manufacturing but marketing. Real Madrid pursues top players so much that some young people can't find a place in the first team and have to go out and look for opportunities. Careless management also led to players fleeing, such as Mista and Mata. " But what he didn't mention is that Barcelona has a clear goal for youth training, while Real Madrid only pursues market effect and ignores how to adhere to the club's traditional style.

Real Madrid team 2 lacks style.

In the past 10 years, Real Madrid has been changing coaches, and the style of the game will naturally change. For nearly 20 years, the coach of Barcelona has been a Dutchman. From cruyff, Fan Jiaer to Rijkaard, this naturally left a deep impression on Guardiola who took over later. Unlike Ajax, which is also famous for its youth training, Barcelona, which is larger and has a longer history, will not seek to cash out when young people mature, but will keep and continue it in a planned way.

In addition to Harvey, Puyol, Iniesta, Valdez and Boyang left by his predecessors, Guardiola, who coached Barcelona's youth team two years ago, promoted busquets, Pedro, Hefran and Tiago, which made Barcelona not leave too many traces of alternation between old and new in the season rotation.

Guardiola pays attention to every detail when cultivating young people, and has also received the support of the club. When he took over the second team of Barcelona two years ago, the second team played the third league. Guardiola asked the club to buy some players around the age of 23, because all the players of 65,438+07 and 65,438+08 were unwell because of playing Xi ice. A year later, the second team was promoted to the second division, and Guardiola gradually made local players play the main role, preparing psychologically and physically for entering the first team in the third year. Just as 1985 Real Madrid Team II became the champion of Division II, it is an ideal transition for "Five Eagles" to become the backbone of the first team. After busquets and Pedro entered the first team, they could also play and win.

On the contrary, because Real Madrid's second team is constantly changing coaches, the signings are not as flexible as Barcelona's second team, which leads to the floating hearts of young players.

Former President Calderon once accused Michelle, the former coach of Real Madrid's second team and now coach of Getafe, as "the worst second team coach in the history of Real Madrid", because Michelle focused on cultivating her son Adrian (now also in Getafe), which led to the internal division of the team, and Mata, who has great potential, eventually defected to Valencia. However, Calderon did not review himself. During his administration, Real Madrid team II failed to bring in players in time. The second team can be promoted to West B, and after enough tempering, students can be prepared to enter the first team step by step.

What is "better late than never"?

Real Madrid does not have a complete youth training system, and florentino will never admit it.

After the base was moved to Valdebeba, the training ground was bigger and more formal, and the cultural education and reasonable diet that young players should receive were also keeping up. Valdano said in April 12 that after florentino took office for the second time, he paid more and more attention to youth training. If we can cultivate a "Messi" from local players, it will not only be the glory of Real Madrid, but also save a lot of transfer fees.

Because of this, florentino stressed that the task of Real Madrid youth training is still to retain and sell surplus, "instead of adopting Pa Wen-style formalism of direct first team". But for some promising players who can't enter the first team at present, Real Madrid will reserve the right to buy back when reselling. "I changed the previous loan form to resale because I was afraid that players would be lazy because of loan. Although the repurchase will cost Real Madrid one or two million euros, it is much more cost-effective than overstocking and brain drain. " Valdano explained.

Another measure that Real Madrid will improve after the century war is to expand the recruitment scope of young players.

First of all, the talent selection will focus on Madrid people, who have more feelings for Real Madrid, just like granero, negredo and parejo. Secondly, Real Madrid will look for talents in Spain, which is beneficial to the future development of Spain. Its representative is the newly signed Santander teenager canales. Finally, Real Madrid will consider selecting materials around the world. This job is very difficult, but for the sake of "own Messi", Real Madrid will spare no effort. Real Madrid will continue to provide information in football schools around the world.

On April 12, pellegrini let eight second-tier players participate in the first-team training. But this is only a temporary phenomenon, because in the current huge lineup of Real Madrid, young players have no chance. In the closing stage, winning the last seven rounds is more realistic than putting newcomers on the show.

It is important for Real Madrid to mend after the sheep is dead and strengthen the training of young players. If there are two or three second-tier players' faces on the bench next season, it will be genuine.
