"It is very irresponsible to shirk all the problems that the team has now."

At the dinner table, Yang Yang said to Florentino very seriously.

Because it was to entertain Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso's family, plus the senior manager Manuel Redondo and Butragno and other club officials to accompany them, it was divided into two tables, and Yang Yang and others formed a table.

"I have been fighting side by side with them for many years. I have a deep understanding of their character. Maybe they are old, maybe they are a little lazy, maybe they have all kinds of problems, but I still insist that it is irresponsible to shift the problem to the players."

Yang Yang said it was serious and very serious, because this can be seen as him criticizing Real Madrid's management.

In fact, everyone can see that Real Madrid's management is indeed not doing well. Otherwise, why would Bardano resign? Wasn't he just taking the blame for the team's poor record?

Florentino is not without tolerance, especially when this person is still Yang Yang.

"What do you think is the team's problem now?" Florentino asked calmly.

Yang Yang thought for a while, "Many, what I can see in this game is the biggest problem in training."

"Training?" Manuel Redondo was a little surprised. "From the feedback we received, both Lopetegui and Solari's training this season are not low."

Yang Yang shook his head, "But the players have proved that their training is not qualified by using their game performance."

"Yang Yang is right. A truly high-level training does not depend on the intensity, but on whether it can mobilize the performance of the players. It is like UEFA accused Ancelotti of not having high training intensity, but in fact, the performance of the players is excellent."

Harvey Alonso took Yang Yang's words because he was responsible for daily training in Ajax. During this period, he also came into contact with and learned a lot of things, especially under the leadership of Yang Yang.

Training intensity is no longer a measure of the level of a coaching team's training level. Perhaps it was OK a few years ago, but it is no longer possible now, because in the past few years, the use of high technology in European football has made the training level develop rapidly and leaps and bounds.

Head coaches like Lopetegui and Solari are already out of date and cannot keep up with the pace and pace of this era.

Starting a few years ago, dataization began to become popular in European football. Therefore, in addition to arranging players' training, the coaching team also carried out a lot of other work every day, including testing various physical indicators and data of players, conducting long-term recording and analysis, and better tracking and observing the ups and downs of players' status.

Based on this set of data, the coaching team can arrange players' diet, training and rest in a targeted manner, which is why Real Madrid also has a variety of professionals and consultants such as professional nutritionists and sleepers.

The more famous one is the Milan Laboratory ten years ago, which was later gradually learned by the teams in the entire European football world, so dataization has become a wave.

Now, Real Madrid's first team has not only collected data from training, but also collected, sorted and analyzed the data of players in the game. Through various data tracking and analysis, the team's performance is evaluated as a whole, and thus formulated training plans. This is also an important factor in Real Madrid's outstanding results in the past few years.

There are also sleep plans and various other programs serving players. These are the changes brought about by Real Madrid's keeping pace with the times in the past few years. They are not well known, but they have played an important role.

But now, Yang Yang can feel that these data have not been widely used by Lopetegui and Solari in daily training and game evaluation. This may be due to various reasons, but it is undeniable that they have not done well.

...

"The big data department has long become a very important department for European teams. Many teams will formulate different training plans for each person based on the tactical arrangements of the head coach."

"For example, in Ajax, we are good at opening crazily, while Real Madrid is accustomed to taking action. These two different tactical styles adopt two different training modes because they require different physical fitness."

"I had a long time communication with Pochettino in London and even had the honor of communicating with his team. They did a very good job in data analysis and application, and had a strong ability to control various data of players, which allowed them to understand the physical condition of each player very clearly anytime, anywhere."

"Not only that, there is a new trend in European football now. They have begun to try to introduce other medical methods into the football field, such as some muscle shock therapy, or research on brain operation mechanisms. Laboratory has even found that habitual injuries in a certain part of a player are related to nerve damage."

"As far as I know, German physical coaches have even started to use artificial neural networks, self-organized neural networks, chaos theory, etc. to analyze game modes. They are trying to use more advanced technology to train and strengthen players."

Florentino, Manuel Redondo, Butragno and others were all a little dumbfounded. First, they were not professionals, so they did not participate in the related industries. Second, they were all management and were not familiar with and understood the news about the front line of coaching.

But they all got a message from Yang Yang clearly, that is, Lopetegui and Solari were really out of date.

Because these two Real Madrid coaches are not familiar with all that Yang Yang said, and even Zidane a year ago may not be able to understand.

"Not only is the large-scale introduction of science and technology, but also the concept is undergoing earth-shaking changes."

"I've talked to Pochettino before, and he set up a special position at Tottenham Hotspur called Athletic Performance Director."

"Yes, the physical coaches in the past were responsible for player training. Their task was to train players to run and jump, have strong physical confrontation, and even go further. They began to pay attention to the players' personal skills, tactics and physical uniqueness. They were already considered very outstanding physical coaches, but now, Tottenham Hotspur is going further."

"The so-called athletic performance coaches need not only proficient in physical training, but also proficient in all aspects. Their job is not to train players' physical fitness, but to connect sports scientists, rehabilitation physiotherapists, masseurs, athletic performance analysts, technical coaches, and perhaps even head coaches in the team."

"They can give professional advice on the players' physical condition, training load, technical and tactical load, player recovery and other aspects, and cooperate with coaches in other positions to serve every player."

Yang Yang's words made everyone present stunned.

The outside world did not get much news about everything Pochettino did at Tottenham. More people only learned some clues through Gary Neville's column, but now they know all this from Yang Yang, which is really surprised.

This is an upgrade in concept.

"I get it, I saw the news that you sponsored Pintus and Winston Bogard, as well as several Ajax physical and youth coaches to pursue a PhD in Sports Science, and it turned out to be because of this." Butragno said in amazement.

He didn't care much at that time, but now when he heard Yang Yang say this, he couldn't help feeling ashamed from the bottom of his heart, because he was really a little immersed in the sky.

"Yes, I personally think that this is a conceptual progress. We at Ajax must keep up. More importantly, we are working with Adidas to try to put this new set of technologies and concepts into youth training."

"Youth Training?" Butragno was surprised again.

"That's right." Harvey Alonso took over the conversation and took the initiative to explain to Yang Yang, "After we took over Ajax, Yang Yang did one thing, which was to convene all the coaches and youth training coaches in the club for meetings, and then held several consecutive physical and youth training meetings. Combined with Ajax's youth training experience, we came to a conclusion."

"In the adult first team, physical fitness is not the most difficult, because the players are basically formed, visible and tangible, but not in the youth team, because in many cases, it is more scientific and gradual training cannot be effective immediately, but it is constantly accumulating and consolidating the players' height and upper limits as adults."

"In the past, this kind of training was often not easy to accept, but now, we believe that this should be valued and adopted. Not only that, we should pay attention to the players, seize the window of their growth stage, provide targeted help and guidance, and maximize the players' ability to keep the players in the most appropriate training load. This is the direction Ajax needs to work hard on."

"Talented players are unique, and even every talented player is different. How to cultivate every young player through technological means in a targeted manner is a huge system."

The words of Xiavi Alonso made Florentino and others look at Yang Yang differently.

Before, they all thought that Yang Yang was just leading Ajax to achieve a transformation in performance, but unexpectedly, Yang Yang was profoundly changing all aspects of Ajax, especially the youth training system that this team is proud of.

If it is true as Harvey Alonso introduced, Ajax's youth training ability will be greatly improved in the future, which will make Ajax youth training, which is already arrogant to Europe's heroes, sure to go further.

Yang Yang played this game too much!

Yang Yang is not humble in this regard, because he does have such confidence.

"This is the training of young players, and the training of veterans is the same. There are many veterans in Real Madrid. How to train them and help them stay in shape is a complex training science, but neither Lopetegui nor Solari obviously did not do well. This is why I think Real Madrid's training level is not high."
