"Spanish football is now mainstream. All they introduced to me were Spanish coaches."
Lister smiled slightly after listening to Wang Jianlin's words. He didn't know how to say it. This is a real layman's talk. Since it was a cooperation, Lister said directly: "Dr. Wang, the style of Spanish football now is different from that of two years ago.
, the current Spanish national team is completely based on Barcelona's midfielder, which is derived from Barcelona's playing style. They are completely different from the traditional Spanish style. There are also many types of Spanish coaches."
"Just like Coach Benitez, he is different from ordinary Spanish coaches. There are also traditional Spanish coaches who attach great importance to the wing, but the current Spanish style of play emphasizes control. Including Emery, Ramos, their
The coaching styles are different. And they have no connection with the current Spanish national team’s style.”
Then he continued: "And Spanish coaches all have one characteristic. That is, many of them are not accustomed to the local environment and rarely succeed outside. In the past two decades, Benitez can be regarded as the most successful outside among Spanish coaches.
Others, such as the current Spanish national team coach Del Bosque, have also been unsuccessful outside."
Wang Jianlin was a little surprised. Spanish football is king now. Not to mention domestic, even European football is full of praise for Spanish football. Moreover, Spanish football is now full of talents, and all kinds of talented players are completely blowing out. Therefore,
Many people who served as consultants to Wang Jianlin believed that hiring a Spanish coach would be most in line with the current development of football. However, unexpectedly, Riester rejected the Spanish coach in just a few sentences.
"But now Spanish football is the development direction of world football. He has already begun to dominate world football."
Continuous European Cups and World Cups have brought Spanish football to the pinnacle of their football history. Their style of play has become the object of imitation in the world's football world.
"Dr. Wang, no style of play in this world will dominate football for a long time. The Spanish national team's style of play is derived from Barcelona's style of play. Barcelona looks very strong now, but there will be corresponding results soon.
Tactically restrain them. Just like there is a food chain in the world, no tactic in the world is perfect. Moreover, Barcelona’s style of play is difficult to copy, and the Spanish national team’s style of play is also difficult to copy. In Xavi’s case,
After that, even the Spanish national team itself can’t play the way it does now.”
Faced with a layman, Lister couldn't say much. Therefore, Wang Jianlin didn't quite understand. He said directly: "Chinese football foundation is not good, and the strength of Chinese players is not good. Letting Chinese players play in the style of the Spanish national team is simply a castle in the air. So.
What Chinese players need most now is a coach with strong tactical ability and the ability to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players. Of course, this needs to be discussed carefully with the Football Association."
"Well. Which coach do you think is better?"
"Italian coaches or Dutch coaches are the best."
Wang Jianlin nodded. There is no rush in selecting a coach. After all, it requires formal cooperation between Wanda Group and the Chinese Football Association, and then negotiations between the two parties can be formalized. Today I just wanted to find out more about it with Lister.
The topic ended here, and the two sides began to prepare for the big move. Lister quickly mobilized a panel of eight judges from the Czech Republic, all of whom were youth training coaches transferred by Lister from the Czech Republic. Among them were four Czech coaches, and
Two are Argentinian coaches, another is a German coach, and the last one is a French coach.
These were all recruited from various countries when Lister founded his own youth training camp. Each of them is a leading figure in the training of young players. Lister spent a lot of money to introduce many youth teams from South America.
Coaches, as well as football powers from France, Germany, and Spain, which have excellent youth training, have also introduced many coaches. This time Riester wants to take away truly outstanding young players who can be polished.
This cooperation between List and Wanda Group is definitely a big deal. When the news was announced, the entire Chinese football world was shocked. Wanda Group really showed its face this time. A private sponsor of 50 million euros a year to support China
Players go to the Czech Republic for training. Although some people criticize the Czech Republic as inferior to other European football powers, many people still express their admiration for the Wanda Group.
At the signing ceremony between List and Wang Jianlin, China's leading media came here. Even some non-sports party newspapers came to the scene.
"Hello, Director Wang. The model of Jianlibao back then cannot be said to be successful in the end. Director Wang, how do you plan to avoid this at Wanda Group?"
Before signing the contract, many reporters began to ask questions. Because Wanda’s model this time is so similar to Jianlibao back then, people naturally thought of Jianlibao back then.
When Wang Jianlin heard the reporter's question, he looked at Lister. Lister understood what Wang Jianlin meant. So he adjusted his microphone and replied: "Our cooperation this time has fully absorbed the mistakes of Jianlibao back then. This time we want to study abroad."
Most of our players are children under the age of thirteen. Our Czech youth academy is one of the largest youth academies in Europe and has trained countless good players. We have rich methods of cultivating young players. Our Czech youth academy has grown from ten
They have been in youth leagues since they were two years old, and have continued to exist in U19 leagues. As players in our youth training camp, they are all eligible to participate in such leagues and receive training. Even as members of the youth training camp, they can also participate in European competitions.
youth league.”
"And our youth academy has a complete education system. Their studies will not be affected by playing football. When they are eighteen years old, if they are not suitable for playing football, they can re-enter school anytime and anywhere to continue studying."
In terms of youth leagues, the Czech Republic is much more complete than China. Starting from the age of twelve, the Czech Republic has youth leagues. All major Czech clubs, whether they are first or second division clubs, can send a team to participate. And Riester
Because of its large scale, the youth training camp has a huge number of players. Therefore, the Liszt Youth Training Camp has received special approval from the Czech Football Association and is allowed to form three teams in each age group. Within the youth training camp, this
The three teams are still competitors.
There are a total of four levels of youth leagues up to U19. Moreover, the champions of these youth competitions in the Czech Republic can also go out to compete with club youth teams from other countries.
It is impossible to develop behind closed doors. Young players also need to constantly compete with others to truly grow. Communicating with high-level players is the best way to improve your own level.
"Director Wang, how do you choose players to study abroad? How much do they need to spend?"
"No, no, no. Wanda Group will pay for all their expenses. As for how to choose 30 players? Our Wanda Group will cooperate with Mr. Cherny to screen outstanding players across the country for the competition. Select the most talented players.
Thirty talented players went to the Czech Republic for training.”
"Mr. Cherny, are there any standards for this screening competition?"
"No. Any player under the age of thirteen, including thirteen years old, can participate. Whether it is a young player who has received training or a player who has never received training, we will not refuse. I have already brought
We have selected eight youth team coaches who are outstanding in European football, and they will serve as judges this time."
Wang Jianlin and Lister stood on top, explaining each reporter's questions one by one. They stopped answering reporters until it was time for the signing.
When it came to the signing ceremony, even Football Association officials came to the scene. That is to say, the newly appointed Football Association Chairman Vidi came to the scene because this matter was so sensational. There was no way the Chinese Football Association would not come.
With Wang Jianlin and List signing the contract, the largest plan for players to study abroad in the history of Chinese football is about to be implemented. According to this plan, Wanda Group will pay 100 million yuan in advance, and then the subsequent contracts will be based on specific conditions.
The situation changes.
"Fifty million a year!"
"The cooperation between Wanda Group and the Czech Puma Youth Academy!"
"The largest study abroad program in the history of Chinese football!"
"Puma Youth Training Camp in the Czech Republic wants to cooperate with China and open a youth training camp in China!"
The impact has been great. As for Lister's plan to open a youth training camp in China, it is a cooperation that Lister and Wang Jianlin have just negotiated. Wang Jianlin's move is indeed very big. In addition to letting Chinese players study in the Czech Republic, they will also be able to participate in the Czech youth training camp.
Get training.
He also sponsored a large amount of money and asked List to open a youth training camp in Chinese football. Wang Jianlin's proposal was not only approved by List, but Puma also strongly sponsored it.
It can be said that Puma has been working hard for the Chinese market for ten years, and the results are pretty good. However, compared to Nike and Adidas, it is still at a disadvantage in the Chinese market. In addition, Chinese local brands are also rising strongly, which makes Puma feel the pressure.
.
The Chinese market, especially with the current economic problems in Europe and the United States, has increasingly become the most important market in the world. And more importantly, the Chinese sports market is developing at a rapid pace. How could Puma give up such a big market? Therefore, for
List is cooperating with Wanda Group to strongly support the plan to establish a youth training camp in China. He is also willing to sponsor this youth training camp every year, and the only thing he wants is the naming rights of the youth training camp.
Therefore, List and Wang Jianlin have reached a preliminary agreement. But this is China, and we still need to negotiate with the Chinese Football Association, the Chinese Sports Center, and even the location of the youth training camp base with the local government. Therefore, there are many procedures that need to go through.
After the cooperation with Wanda was announced, Lister has become a famous name in Chinese football. Clubs including Beijing Guoan and Shandong Luneng have contacted Liste, hoping to introduce some outstanding foreign players through Lister's connections.
Just when Lister was feeling quite proud, he received a very frustrating phone call. Lister immediately put aside all his activities in China and returned to England.
