The black box system and the satellite club plan were actually proposed by Prost. The Southampton youth academy has always had deep ties with some small clubs. They can transfer out unused players or let them go.
Young talents from small clubs get better training opportunities, which in itself is a mutually beneficial thing. Southampton had already prepared to implement the satellite club plan before, but because Southampton's previous performance was too disappointing, it fell directly to
In League One, just the avoidance clause is enough for them to drink a pot.
So it was not until this year that Southampton prepared to restart the plan. Now that it has received Jiya's approval, it means that the plan will be launched soon.
The selections are all small clubs that are basically impossible to enter the Premier League, but have been in the English League Two and League One for a long time, so that they are not subject to the supervision of the avoidance regulations.
There are actually quite a few such choices.
For example, Stevenage, who just signed a one-year extension for Vardy with Southampton, is a team from the south. They are also happy to contact clubs like Southampton because they are a semi-amateur club and their own
Youth training is also very bad, and there is not much money. Apart from letting big clubs train young players, there is no value at all.
Being able to form a cooperation with Southampton is a great thing in itself.
This kind of target needs to be carefully selected. The teams chosen are basically teams with little youth training tradition and insufficient financial resources. Such teams basically have no chance of reaching the Premier League, or even the English Championship.
Therefore, clubs like Milton Keynes with certain financial resources will not become satellite clubs even in League One. There are also clubs like Leyton Orient, although they have always been a small team, they are the only two professional teams in East London.
As one of the teams, it is difficult for such a team to become a satellite club of other teams.
Therefore, Southampton will choose teams that have been in the fifth and fourth tiers all year round. It is best to contact such teams and will not commit any taboos.
Of course, Ji Ya doesn't need to do this kind of thing himself, he can just arrange for someone from the club to do it.
"I know that you are also under a lot of pressure. After all, Southampton's financial resources are limited, but the broadcast fees in the Premier League are very high now. If you stay in the Premier League for a few more years, it will be enough, right?" Prost said.
"That's the truth, but it's actually very difficult." Ji Ya sighed.
Placent nodded. It sounds simple to avoid relegation in the Premier League. However, Southampton could not even do this before, and was even relegated to League One. From this perspective, you know that the money in the Premier League is not that easy to get.
of.
"I have calculated that the entire black box project will require an investment of at least 50 million pounds, not to mention other investments in the training base. We have millions of dollars in interest to repay every year, and we have to endure it recently." Ji
Ya finally said.
Placent nodded. He is actually not very old. Of course, he is older compared to Ji Ya. He is now in his forties. As the director of the youth training camp, he still has plenty of time to wait until Southampton's youth training becomes more mature.
Becoming more powerful.
"We are a small club now, but we have a great reputation in youth training. This is our advantage. Compared with smaller clubs, we have a bigger stage. Compared with those big clubs, we have a bigger stage.
There are opportunities to develop young players and give them space. This will be our way of survival in the early days." Noriya told Placent.
"Actually, Southampton has always done this." Placent nodded.
"So in youth training, we also need to form a unity. We had this problem before. When a young player practiced four-three-three in our youth training camp for ten years, a new head coach came to play four-three.
Four-two, his ten years of training are in vain. Isn't this a waste? Fortunately, now I am the head coach, and I will not get out of class, so we should use four-three-three as the club's main formation, which is fast and technical.
A winger who can become a breakthrough point, a center with good scoring ability and tactical ability, a shadow forward who can connect the midfield and the frontcourt, a central midfielder and attacking midfielder who can run well and attack and defend well, a defensive midfielder with certain forward ability, speed
A full-back with excellent quick assist ability, a central defender who can complement each other...these are the goals of our training." Noriya said.
Placent nodded in admiration. This was exactly what he had always wanted to say but could not express it systematically.
Southampton's youth training camp is excellent, but the good players they train may not become Southampton first-team players, so the club's investment is a complete waste.
Just like when Lallana was relegated at Southampton, he was not able to become the main force for a time. Later, when he entered the main lineup, he only played support for others, completely covering up his talent. Until Jiya took office, he was reused as an attacking midfielder, and even
He was allowed to serve as the only attacking midfielder last season, which allowed him to achieve a sufficiently good performance.
This problem was not noticed by the previous club management.
Maybe it's because Noriya is both a manager and a front-line leader that he is able to notice this - Prost thought in his mind.
Jiya actually had nothing to do today, so after chatting with Prost about the Black Box Project, Jiya and Prost walked around the youth training camp.
After all, according to the character design created for him by the system, he played in the Southampton youth team at the age of ten, and then broke his leg when he was almost twenty years old and was unable to continue his career, so he should be very interested in the youth training camp.
It's about having feelings.
But in fact... he has a fucking crush on the Southampton Youth Training Camp! Before he got the system, he didn't even know where the door of the Southampton Youth Training Camp opened!
So in the past two years, he has rarely come to the youth training camp. He only comes to see if there are any available players. However, everyone knows that the club is full of waste and he has to take care of everything. He doesn't have time to come to the youth training camp.
It's normal, but there's nothing else to do today. I've already come here, so it would be unreasonable to revisit it without any reason.
Southampton's youth training camp has always been very famous. Although there were only a few full-time managers in the past, that was because a large number of coaches were actually part-timers. Moreover, Southampton used to be an elite system, where talent could be seen.
Only those who are very high will stay, so the success rate is often very high.
Of course, this is also due to funding issues. If they don't have enough money, they can only streamline their troops and streamline their administration, which often causes them to miss out on many outstanding players.
