Chapter 455 Southampton Youth Academy

"Before we had too many young people in the first team, but not many in their prime years, so this season I mainly recruited those in their prime years, who can be used when they come, but it does not mean that we have to change and polish. A semi-finished product, a strategy for cultivating young talents through exercise, but we are doing it a little more covertly now."

Standing on the sidelines of the Southampton youth training camp, Ji Ya smiled and said to Klose beside him.

Klose actually started to study coaching courses last season. For learning to be a coach, practice is often more important than theory. Coaching in the youth academy, of course, starts with coaching at the lower echelons.

Klose nodded. Looking at the current youth training camp, he was also a little surprised. There is a fact that many people ignore, that Southampton has actually made a lot of money in the transfer market over the years. Quite a lot, but still a large amount of funds disappeared—it wasn’t Ji Ya’s own possession or spending, but was used in other places.

The repayment of the previous loan was a big one, with more than 6000 million repayments, and the expansion and investment in the youth training camp was also a big one, with more than 6000 million invested.

Under the creation of the experienced top scout Michelle, Southampton's youth training camp is not only rich in various equipment and training content, but also under the collection of the youth scout system, code-named "black box", they have a good understanding of the introduction Excellent young players also have a great inspiration.

"We just used 50 pounds to lure a kid named Jadon Sancho from the Watford youth team. This kid is only 15 years old, but he has great potential. Next, we will focus on training him." Ji Ya said to Klose said.

Klose nodded, but it is obvious that the 15-year-old youth team that Sancho may jump into at the age of 17 is not the team he will coach. The head coach of the 17-year-old youth team is Francis, who trained Du Yue.

And he's going to coach... the 13-year-old youth team.

"There is a kid in this team that you must pay attention to...Jamal Mushalla was born in Stuttgart, but he came to settle in Southampton in 10 years. He has been in our youth training camp for five years. He is only 12 years old now, but his talent is really outstanding, and we attach great importance to him." Ki Ya said to Klose.

"Oh? German?" Klose said with a smile.

"He also has British nationality. It is said that the next England under-15 youth team plans to recruit him into the team, although he is only 12 years old." Ji Ya said.

"Then this jump is a bit powerful." Klose sighed.

"Otherwise, how can I say that he is a genius... He is indeed a genius, with excellent skills, a very good sense of the ball, and his body is not bad, with a certain speed and confrontation ability. A generalist will also be very useful. Of course, we may not be able to use him until he is 17 years old, but now is the time for him to continue to grow. Being able to cultivate such a genius is also useful for your coaching career. Of course, I don't mind whether he plays for Germany or England, but from the perspective of the interests of the club, it is more beneficial for him to play for England." Ji Ya said to Klose.

"Don't worry boss, I won't influence him in this regard." Klose patted his chest and said.

Ji Ya nodded. He was really not too worried about this, not only because he believed in Klose's character, but also because Klose was actually a descendant of Poland, and he didn't care about the confrontation between Germany and Britain.

What Ji Ya didn't know was that his appearance really changed a lot.

If there is no Ji Ya, then Mushala will follow his mother to settle in the UK, join Southampton’s youth training camp in 10 years, and be poached by Chelsea a year later because of his outstanding performance——Southampton’s youth Although the training camp was excellent, it was the time when Southampton was at its poorest, and the level and facilities of the youth training camp were also affected. As a top talent, Mushalla would of course choose a better youth training camp.

But after Ji Ya appeared, all this changed.

When Mushala joined the Southampton youth academy in 10, Ji Ya had already led the team back to the British Championship, and invested a lot of money in the youth academy, so that the training level of the Southampton youth academy and the coach's His reputation remained at the same high level as before, and Musiala was very satisfied with his stay, so naturally he would not be tempted to go to Chelsea to recommend himself.

After Southampton soon returned to the Premier League and Ji Ya continued to invest in the youth academy, Mushala naturally didn't want to leave.

After discovering that the ability of young players can be judged by the achievement points of the personal training plan, Ji Ya first tried all the players of the youth team, and then found that the achievement points of Mushala's personal training plan were as high as 95, so Ji Ya I started to pay attention to this kid, and Sancho was the same. It was when Ji Ya was looking for the list of Premier League youth training camps one by one when he was bored before, he tried it out.

Southampton also needs a few iconic natives.

Du Yue can be counted as one, although he is Chinese, but he was born in England, his father is Chinese, his mother is British, and there are several younger siblings who came from a standard British family.

So as long as he performs well in the future, it is normal for him to enter the England national team.

Then Prowse can stay in the club forever. Although he is not the main force, he can play games from time to time. This kind of local is indispensable.

Peters and Chilwell also have good strength. After two years of loan, they can use it themselves.

Coupled with future stars like Sancho and Musiala, Southampton's next localization is not too difficult.

"Okay, the youth team is basically like this. You just need to get used to the leadership. The main thing is to train Mushalla well. The performance of the youth team is not the most important thing. Select the best players so that our first team can have a good reputation." Available people, this is the most important thing." Ji Ya finally said to Klose.

Klose nodded. He is still very clear about this. How many honors the players of the youth team have won is really nothing. Instead, it is to select some outstanding players and give them a suitable growth environment so that they can go smoothly. Growth, this is the most important task!

Of course, if you want to be a famous coach, it is not suitable to do this kind of work. At most, you need to get used to how to deal with players.

Klose doesn't have that much ambition, he just thinks he can be a good youth training coach, that's good.
