Chapter 117 Rick Link
Although Rick Link's coaching in China is a joke, David doesn't think all the responsibilities should be on his head.
First of all, there is a problem with his own positioning. He is an excellent youth training supervisor. Matching the ambition of the head coach, always thinking about becoming the club's first-team coach one day, rather than just training with children.
Everyone has a job that is suitable for them, and there are jobs that are not suitable for them. Rick Link is suitable for being a youth training coach, but he is not suitable for being a first-team coach. This is why he cannot succeed in this position s reason.
In addition, there is a huge difference between the club youth team and the national youth team. Young players in the club youth team can train under his guidance every day to develop technical and tactical qualities. But at the national team level, how many times a year can there be training camps?
Most of the short training time is used to instill tactics that seem to be more applicable to the adult team, rather than to pay attention to the detailed technical details, so that a group of young players who are not yet solid in basic skills can play advanced overall skills and tactics. Come on!
From a dialectical point of view, Rick Link is definitely a qualified candidate as the director of youth training. Otherwise, he would not have climbed to the position of director of youth training in Ajax, a star-making factory such as the youth training. If he leads the first team, his weaknesses will not be exposed.
As for ambition, David doesn’t think it’s a big problem. I’ll double the salary you earn at Ajax. Our Notts County youth academy is the largest youth academy in the world, and it will become the world’s largest youth academy in the future. The best youth training camp, as long as you have done your job well, you may not be famous in the world of football.
Both fame and wealth are satisfied, and David can't think of any reason for Rick Link to refuse.
The Ajax team went very smoothly, and it can be said that the host and guest had a good time. The then head coach of the Ajax U23 echelon, Rick Link, not only accepted David’s invitation, but also promised to bring a team of no less than 10 people to Nuo Notts County Youth Academy, of course, the high salary given by Notts County is also one of the important reasons why he is so confident.
The director of youth training has solved it. David doesn't mind taking away a few more stars of hope in the Ajax youth training camp. With the help of Rick Link, he once again took up the shovel, but this time The target is the young players in the youth academy.
16-year-old Babel, 15-year-old Lens and Elia, and 14-year-old Van der Veer were all persuaded by David and Rick Link to join the youth training camp in Notts County with various reasons.
For these four young players, David paid a training fee of 200 million pounds. Playing for Ajax in the first team is logical.
However, when inviting Blind, David, who has always been accurate and invincible, was rejected. Blind's father, Blind Sr., is a famous Dutch football player. He didn't want his son to play football too early, especially England, a country that doesn't value youth training, prefers Blind Jr. to lay a good foundation in Ajax's youth training camp.
David, who was clearly rejected, was not depressed, because he knew that although Blind joined the giants in the future, he did not show a convincing performance, and he was not worthy of regret.
Rick Link originally planned to beat away a few young players who had just turned ten years old, but was stopped by David. First, he knew that the Netherlands did not produce any stars in this age group, and second, he was unwilling to do so. The young children leave their hometown early to venture into a strange country. Three years later, isn’t it afraid that Ajax will turn their backs with such a large amount of poaching?
Anyway, when he left the Netherlands, David was quite satisfied. At least half of the youth training team’s affairs were resolved, and Rick Link could continue to complete this work while he was away, although the four players seemed to be It is a loss-making deal, and he himself does not think that these four players are likely to gain a foothold in Notts County in the future, but it is absolutely not a problem to train them for a few years and sell them to recover the cost and make a small profit.
Although it sounds impersonal and full of copper smell, this is the common style of play of all the giants in football, and David also hopes that he can make different footprints on this road.
In his conception, the club treats all young players in the youth training camp equally, and solves all worries, so that you can improve and grow without worry in the youth training camp. This is your home.
And whenever a group of players can graduate from the youth academy, it is bound to be impossible for every one of them to have a chance to be promoted to the first team, so there will be a gap in level.
Those with outstanding strength and unlimited potential are bound to be promoted to the first team; and those who are temporarily unable to enter the first team but are still optimistic about their potential and growth, then the club will loan them out and wait until the loan period is over before conducting evaluation , Is the strength growing enough to be able to stay in the club, or is the growth limited and can only find a way out in other clubs; as for the strength and potential that cannot be recognized, I am afraid that they can only be sold directly to other clubs.
Although there is a lot of helplessness in it, David is more willing to make this process more humane, rather than blindly talking about business.
I took care of you in every possible way in the youth training camp, but football is a cruel world. When you do not reach the ability to play for the Notts County first team, although I am sorry and reluctant, I can only say sorry to you , everyone is still family, but you can only choose to go outside, and I can no longer provide you with shelter from the wind and rain. The only thing I ask is that when you find your own belonging outside, please don't forget where you came from.
I feel very sad in my heart, and David can't foresee how many years later, when the children of the Notts County Youth Academy come out to say goodbye to him, what kind of feeling he will feel. Anyway, he knows that this scene may be very difficult. bear.
Shaking his head, getting this negative emotion out of his head, David was about to embark on his round-the-world travel of poaching little demons.
Last summer, in order to build the club's first team, David made a half-circle in Europe, but this summer, David's trip may not be limited to Europe.
Little monsters!
Mavericks!
Are you ready to meet your strange sorghum?
