Chapter 117 Rick Link

Although Rick Link's coaching in Huaxia is a joke, David doesn't think all the responsibilities should be on his head.

The first is that he himself has a problem with his own positioning. He is an excellent youth training director. If he keeps doing it, he may not be able to leave a illustrious reputation in football, but the problem is that Ricklink has always had a talent that is incomparable with his ability. The ambition of the matching head coach always thinks of one day becoming the first team coach of the club, rather than just training with children.

Everyone has a job that suits him and a job that doesn't suit him. Rick Link is suitable to be a youth coach, but not a first-team coach. That's why he can't be successful in this position. s reason.

In addition, the club's youth team and the national youth team are also very different. The young players of the club's youth team can train under his guidance every day to cultivate technical and tactical literacy, and at the national team level, how many times can there be training camps a year?

Most of the short training time is used to instill tactics that should be applied to the senior team, instead of deducting detailed technical details, allowing a group of young players with weak basic skills to play advanced overall techniques and tactics, which can match well. Come on!

From a dialectical point of view, Rick Link, as the director of youth training, is definitely a qualified candidate. Otherwise, he would not have climbed to the position of director of youth training in Ajax, a star-making factory so famous for youth training. He leads the first team and his weaknesses are not exposed.

As for ambition, David doesn't think it's a big issue. How much salary you earn at Ajax, I'll double it for you. Our youth academy in Notts County is the largest in the world, and it will become the world's largest in the future. The best youth academy, as long as you do your job well, may not fail to be famous in world football.

Fame and fortune were satisfied, and David couldn't think of any other reason for Rick Link to refuse.

Ajax and his party went very smoothly. It can be said that the host and guests enjoyed themselves. Rick Link, the then head coach of the Ajax U23 echelon, not only accepted David's invitation, but also promised to bring a team of no less than 10 people. Notts County youth training camp, of course, the high salary given by Notts County is also one of the important reasons why he is so confident.

The academy director solved it. David didn't mind taking away a few more stars of hope in the Ajax youth academy. With the help of Rick Link, he picked up the shovel again, but this time the The target is the young players in the academy.

Babel, 16, Lens and Elia, 15, and Vandervelt, 14, were all persuaded by David and Rick Link to join Notts County's youth academy for various reasons.

For these four young players, David paid 2 million pounds for the training fee. This is still under the condition that the players have their own hearts. You must know that Babel is already a star of hope that has attracted much attention from the outside world. After two seasons, he was promoted to The first team to represent Ajax is logical.

However, when he invited Blind, David, who has always been accurate and unfavorable, closed the door. Blind's father, Blind, was a famous Dutch football legend. He did not want his son to play football too early, especially England, a country that does not pay attention to youth training, prefers that Blind Jr. lay a solid foundation in the youth training camp of Ajax.

David, who was explicitly rejected, was not frustrated, because he knew that although Blind joined the giants in the future, he did not show a convincing performance and was not worthy of his own regret.

Originally, Rick Link planned to beat out a few young players who had just turned ten years old, but was stopped by David. First, he knew that the Netherlands did not have any stars in this age group, and secondly, he was unwilling to do so. Small children leave their hometowns early to go to unfamiliar countries. Thirdly, they are not afraid of Ajax's face after digging so generously?

Anyway, when he left the Netherlands, David was quite satisfied. At least half of the youth training team had been resolved, and Ricklink could continue to complete this work while he was away.

Although the four players seem to be losing money, he himself does not think that these four players have a high possibility of establishing a foothold in Notts County in the future, but after training them for a few years and selling them, they will recover the cost and make a small profit. Not a problem.

Although it sounds impersonal and full of copper smell, this is the common way of all the giants in football, and David also hopes that he can walk out of different footprints on this road.

In his conception, the club treats all the young players in the youth academy equally, solves all worries, and allows you to improve and grow carefree in the youth academy. This is your home.

And whenever a group of players can graduate from the youth academy, it is impossible for every player to have the opportunity to be promoted to the first team, so there will be a gap in level.

If the strength is outstanding and the potential is unlimited, it is inevitable to be promoted to the first team; if the strength cannot enter the first team temporarily, but it is still optimistic about the potential and growth, then the club will loan it out, and wait until the end of the loan period. , whether the strength has grown enough to stay in the club, or the growth is limited and can only go to other clubs to find a way out; as for the strength and potential that cannot be recognized, I am afraid that it can only be sold directly to other clubs.

Although there is a lot of helplessness, David prefers to make this process more human, rather than just talking about business.

I took care of you in the youth academy, but football is a cruel world. When you don't have the ability to play for the Notts County first team, I am sorry and reluctant, but I can only say sorry to you. , Everyone is still a 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 want is that when you find your belonging outside, please don’t forget where you came from.

I feel very sad in my heart. David can't foresee how many years later, when the children of the Notts County youth training camp come out and part with him, what kind of feeling will he feel? Anyway, he knows that this scene may be difficult. bear.

Shaking his head and throwing this negative emotion out of his head, David is ready to start his global journey of poaching the little demon.

Last summer, in order to form the first team of the club, David turned around in Europe, and this summer, David's itinerary is probably not limited to Europe.

Little monsters!

Mavericks!
