Like in previous years, the warm-up matches of Premier League teams are arranged and coordinated every summer.

For example, this summer, Manchester's two-man team and Chelsea went to North America, and Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams went to Asia. Among the teams heading to Asia, Tottenham Hotspur first went to the Middle East, then to China and Singapore, while Arsenal avoided Tottenham Hotspur, first went to China and then to Malaysia, and then back to Europe.

Liverpool came to China at about a free time between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, and then went to Malaysia. The last stop was India and then Norway. Benitez's preseason was also very compact.

The purpose of this warm-up match for Premier League teams is actually to further develop overseas markets, especially the United States and Asian markets, and the key to the Asian market is undoubtedly China.

In addition to the warm-up matches of these giant teams, this year's Premier League Barclays Premier League Asian Cup was also held in Hong Kong, but Tottenham and other giant teams did not participate in this event. However, such a intensive Asian tour of Premier League teams has indeed caused a lot of response in Asia, especially Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur

As early as the Premier League announced the warm-up match plans of various Premier League teams in May, the media gradually broke out some news, the most important of which is Tottenham Hotspur. There have been media reports that Tottenham Hotspur will form strategic partners with the famous domestic Guangzhou Hengda Club.

The two sides will jointly form a football school, with Tottenham Hotspur being responsible for arranging coaches to bring the world's most advanced training methods to the football school, and Hengda Club is responsible for the operation and operation.

This will undoubtedly be a very important event for Chinese football, because it represents a new cooperation model, but it has also caused great controversy. Many people believe that this is purely a gimmick, meaningless gimmick, and even aroused accusations and suspicions from many domestic football people.

But no accusation or suspicion can prevent the establishment of football schools.

After Tottenham played against Zhijie in Hong Kong, he passed the team directly from Luohu and went directly to Guangzhou by passing Shenzhen丨. Ye Qiu was still staying in Shenzhen丨 for a day, followed Regina or Dugan and others from the United States to hold a meeting at the Shenzhen丨 headquarters of Yezi Technology, and then rushed to Guangzhou to meet with the team.

The next day, Tottenham Hotspur teams appeared in Qingyuan, participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of the football school, and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Guangzhou Hengda. The entire football school was funded by Hengda, and Tottenham Hotspur provided technical support. All coaches and training methods came from Tottenham Hotspur.

This is also a controversial point for many people, believing that Tottenham's youth training methods are aimed at English players, but English players are generally tall, but players in southern China are generally short in their bodies and belong to the type of small and fast spirit, which looks seriously inconsistent.

At the press conference to sign the strategic cooperation, Ye Qiu sneered and ridiculed such remarks.

"I want to say that people who say that should leave football. He is not worthy of being a football coach at all, because he has not even figured out what the most important foundation of modern football is."

There were hundreds of domestic and foreign journalists below, all of whom were obviously frightened by Ye Qiu's words. They rarely saw Ye Qiu conducting personal attacks so nakedly. This was simply a rhythm of completely suppressing the person who spoke.

You should know that Ye Qiu's current status in the Chinese football world is even higher than Yao Ming who was in NH football at the time. Almost all over the country regard him as a flagship figure in Chinese football. More importantly, Ye Qiu is not just a football head coach, but also the boss of Ye Zi Technology, which has the highest market value in the world.

With so many identities, every word he said will arouse a huge response at home and abroad.

"The foundation of modern football is technology, a solid foundation. This is the basic skill. You can see that African players practice technology, German players have also started to play technology. Now even teams with traditional Nordic power-based playing styles such as Denmark and Norway now attach great importance to technology. England's youth training丨is also focused on technology."

"I don't deny that there will be differences in physical fitness between English players and domestic players, but it should be noted that the basic skills of all football are actually the same and are in line with each other. Are those who say such words different from English players playing football with their feet. Do they blow the ball with their mouths?"

A burst of warm cheers immediately sounded at the scene, and many reporters even cheered.

For some so-called Brick scholars, some of their remarks are indeed too weird, which makes them increasingly unconvincing and increasingly difficult to gain the convincing of everyone.

"Of course, what I want to say is that we will not blindly tell the young players, or tell colleagues in China how you should play football. I think it is completely unnecessary and not appropriate. If someone tells you how you should play football, then I can tell you that he must be wrong, because no one can tell you this."

"Looking at all the countries with advanced football levels in the world, they can never be learned by learning. They rely on their own exploration and long-term persistence to finally find a path that suits them and a style that suits them the most, so that they can achieve what they are today."

"Many people like to pursue Spain, but do they know that before Aragonese won the European Cup, they had not been involved in the European Cup for more than 40 years. They could not win the World Cup in their lifetime. They did not fulfill their wish until the World Cup in South Africa. However, their performance in the youth team is outstanding in Europe."

"Many people are wondering, why does Spain play like this? That is Spain's own style. If the Chinese team is allowed to learn Spain, there will be no good results, because it is the Spanish style of playing, and it is also the final maturity and stereotype of the youth training style they have insisted on for many years. How can you learn it?"

Ye Qiu's words once again won a burst of warm applause from the scene.

"So, what I want to say in the end is that if we want to develop our youth training, then don't blindly learn from any country and do a solid job in training young players. So when Mr. Xu talked to our CEO, and later they talked to me, I said that we can provide the best, most advanced and scientific European training system."

"I know some people suspect football schools, and believe that centralized management has disadvantages and that they should follow England's regional youth training system. But I want to say that England has now relaxed regional restrictions. Centralized management has its advantages and disadvantages. We cannot kill everything with one stick. We must see clearly where the problem lies, play its advantages, and find ways to make up for its shortcomings. This is the attitude of doing things, rather than just setting off empty-handed shots."

"The last point I must mention is that youth training丨 coaches play a very important role in a youth training system. They are indispensable. They not only need to cultivate players' skills, but also know how to establish players' ability to think independently. In Europe, players generally have strong independence."

"In our Theoborde, over 16 years old, the players moved out of the training base and went out to rent a house, buy a car, and deal with all kinds of social and life matters. We think this independence is good for the players."

"So this time, our cooperation with Hengda is not just in youth training, we have our own coach training class. In the future, in each Tottenham Hotspur coach training class, at least ten youth training students selected by Hengda will appear. After completing the training, they will be recommended to various European youth training teams for internships, and even stay with us Tottenham Hotspur, and wait until they accumulate enough experience before returning to China."

There was another burst of warm applause at the scene, and it was obvious that Ye Qiu had already spoken out today.

Tottenham Hotspur has also come to play in China before, but Ye Qiu has never said much, but this time he obviously intends to take action. At least he attaches great importance to cooperation with Hengda.

"Mr. Ye Qiu" After Ye Qiu finished speaking, a reporter stood up at the scene, "I am a reporter from Football Weekly. We all know that when you coached Chelsea, you introduced Chinese player Sun Jihai. Later, he went to Arsenal and now he returned to China. He told us that you are the head coach he has ever seen who attaches the most importance to training. At the same time, he also said that your coaching method is not simply to tell the players what to do, but to let the players understand what you want them to do."

"My question is, you think China cannot produce stars now. Not to mention top stars, just stars who have gained a foothold in the top European leagues, while our other two opponents in East Asia, South Korea and Japan, have emerged. What do you think is the difference?"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled first, diluted the tension brought about by the bombardment just now, "This problem is a bit big."

There was another burst of laughter at the scene, and the atmosphere became warm and relaxed.

"I think it's a multi-faceted gap, and it can't be achieved by changing any aspect. Football has never been an either-or game. One thing I have to say is that there is no absolute in this world, only relatives, so sometimes we can't simply think that South Korea and Japan have more stars than ours, so they must be better than us. This is wrong."

"Do you know? I once had an ideal, which was to find the most perfect tactical system in the world, and to build a powerful team that is the best and outstanding in the world, which can defeat all opponents. But later I gradually discovered that when your team defeats all opponents, you are not invincible, your biggest enemy is yourself, you are defeated by yourself, and then other opponents begin to surpass you again."

"Can you understand what I mean? I mean, the biggest mistake of a person, or the biggest obstacle to his success, is not his weakness, nor his ignorance, but a kind of arrogance."

"Go back to the question you just now, and you asked me what the difference is. I think the difference is that they recognize their weakness and ignorance. They work hard to change their weakness and ignorance. But we obviously haven't seen this yet. There are many reasons that hinder us from seeing this clearly, such as arrogance, or we are still groping and searching."

"Football is a game of feng shui. They are strong now, but it does not mean that they will continue to be strong in the future. We are weak now, but it does not mean that we do not have the chance to be stronger than them. The key is whether we have such ideas and intentions, and whether we have such pursuits and confidence."

This time, there was an unprecedented burst of warm applause, but Ye Qiu waved his hand again. Obviously he had not finished speaking, "What I want to say is that there are no sophisticated football tactics and concepts in this world. All tactics and concepts are neutral and equal. Even if Spain and China are equal on the tactical level, they are not better than us."

"So what is the difference? Training thinking, execution and other aspects."

"I want to say that we don't have to imitate other people's football, we just need to find our own football."

"good"

“Good said”

Many reporters even stood up excitedly, obviously being moved by Ye Qiu's words.

"Thank you for your sincere answer, Mr. Ye Qiu." Another reporter stood up, "We all know that Sun Jihai is your old subordinate. He has a high opinion of you, but I don't know what do you think is the difference between Sun Jihai and a top player as a professional player?"

Ye Qiu thought for a while, "I think it's the same sentence, all-round. I have coached many players. Sun Jihai is the right-back. Our right-back in the team is Alves, Brazil international. What do you think is the gap between them?"

"Putting technical aspects aside, I think the limitations of thinking are also one aspect. Sun Jihai is more straightforward on the court, but Alves knows how to cut in and pass in a slanted manner when attacking, and he knows how to recycle when defending. Of course, I'm not talking about smart or stupid issues, I'm talking about thinking."

"In addition, I think Sun Jihai can do everything, both offense and defense, and even his hard work is very commendable, but he has no characteristics of his own, just like Alves. His characteristics are offense and excellent forward assists. Of course, his defensive ability is also very strong, but offense is his label. His characteristics are introduced to him for his offense."

"A player who balances all-round players can reach a high level of offense and defense like Zanbrotta, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold in top teams, and it will not be considered a first-class star."

Most of the reporters who came to the scene also gave Ye Qiu a positive applause.

"Ask you another question, Mr. Ye Qiu." Another reporter stood up, "You are a very successful head coach. Do you think as a head coach, do you have any suggestions for domestic football coaches? Or what about your experience?"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, "When I was giving a lecture in the coach training class, someone asked this question. I think there is a saying that can be asked football coaches. In your opinion, what is your purpose in taking the football coaching path?"

"Don't think that this question is empty. In fact, it's very important. You know, the active head coach I really admire is Marcelo Bielsa, but he has hardly achieved any decent results. He has changed teams again and again, and there is a person I really admire, my arch-rival Benitez, who is also a very persistent and stubborn head coach."

"These two people have a characteristic, their theory is very solid. They have their own complete and very advanced tactical ideas. They know almost everything. They desperately want to control everything. They even want to turn players into robots and perfectly execute their tactics."

"There is another kind of thing like Ferguson. He doesn't know how to use a computer or a smartphone, but he understands the rules of football, he knows how to choose the most suitable assistant, and at the same time he has his own unique understanding of tactics. More importantly, he is a leader, and he only needs to make his coaching staff and his players understand and accept what he wants."

"The most important thing for a football coach is to be a good leader, know how to select people, know how to run a team efficiently, so that all players can believe that you can lead them to victory, trust or even rely on you and the team you formed. This is a high-level head coach."

"Or I say that, Mourinho and Wenger, the two head coaches I am familiar with, are much higher than Mourinho if judged purely by football profession, Wenger's tactical philosophy and ideas, and even the formation of his entire tactical structure, but he lost to Mourinho in controlling the team and winning the trust and support of the players."

"Of course, in my opinion, no one is better than Wenger than anyone else. Even all the head coaches in China, even fans and ordinary people, I am not better than them. We are all equal. What I know may happen to be what you don't know, but what you know may or may not know may not be what I know. Can you say who is better than who?"

"Answer the question just now, I think for the head coach, one thing must be understood first, what is your purpose in coaching?"

"If you are trying to succeed and become famous, you should compromise more with reality; but if you feel that you have ideals and pursuits and want to prove some of your thoughts in your heart, you should persist, but you cannot be discouraged or complain because you have suffered setbacks and blows, lost fame, and lost coaching opportunities on this road, because the road is what you chose."

"I think when Bielsa, when Benitez, when Wenger, when Van Gaal, actually have their happiness, when Mourinho, when Ferguson, when Lippi, when Capello, too, when they have their own bitterness, the key is what you want."
