At first, Gao Han and Guardiola were talking about Bielsa and the selection of Serie A teams in the office.

But not long after, Moratti and Facheti also came.

They saw the news that Gao Han returned to Milan yesterday in the morning, so they called and learned that Gao Han was in Pinetina, and they were all on holidays, and they all came over while they were idle.

Since Gao Han coached Inter Milan, time has always been tight. It is rare to have such a free opportunity to sit together, drink tea, and chat, not to mention how comfortable and comfortable it is.

Facheti also agrees with the trend of the Serie A in recent years as mentioned by Gao Han.

"In fact, although we have also attached great importance to tactics before, we have also trained many small midfield and frontcourt attackers, such as Rossi, Baggio and Piero. There were also Pirlo, Micoli and Casano at the beginning of the century, but the overall environment is indeed becoming increasingly unfavorable to the swing of this type of player."

Needless to say, Baggio and Piero basically did not reach the expected heights.

Of course, this is not to say that they are not outstanding enough, but to say that they could have been better.

Pirlo is a striker and front midfielder, but he has transformed to play as a midfielder. Micoli is not valued at Juventus. Casano has a perverse personality and is probably difficult to meet expectations.

Not only in the midfield, but also in the backline, the players trained by Italy are basically the same.

"In the past, like Cannavaro and Nesta, they basically practiced their personal skills first, and waited until they quickly entered the adult team, and then improved their tactical literacy and cultivated their overall defense awareness. But now they have basically started tactical indoctrination since childhood."

Fachetti felt a little worried when he said this.

Gao Han understood what Fachetti meant and nodded: "Indeed, my understanding is that there are problems with the selection criteria for players in the entire Serie A, whether it is a striker, a midfielder, or a defender."

After a pause, Gao Han smiled bitterly: "I went to our youth training base for inspection. I have found that since the youth team, we have attached great importance to improving the physical confrontation of players and indoctrination of tactical qualities, and have completely ignored the cultivation of players' own abilities."

"For example, Martins, his degree is indeed very fast, and I think Henry and Ronaldo are not as fast as him, but I dare say that with his technical ability, it is impossible for any team to reach the level of Henry and Ronaldo in any situation."

Morati and Facheti were speechless about this.

Although there are frequent hypes about Gao Han's refusal to reuse Martins, it has always been clear within Inter Milan.

Not to mention anything else, just take Martins and Cristiano Ronaldoby, which is something that everyone can see.

In this case, if Gao Han reuses Martins and ignores Cristiano Ronaldo, then there will be inside information.

To put it bluntly, Martins is only threatened if his degree can have room to swing, but Cristiano Ronaldo is able to swing and create threats on the court in either case.

The reason is the difference in the personal abilities of the two players.

"Since the Saki era, Italian youth training has been going further and further on the road of tactical literacy and physical confrontation. When I visited the youth training camp last time, I even saw our youth training coaches explaining tactics to a group of **-year-old children, telling them how to run and how to cooperate."

When Gao Han said this, he smiled helplessly, "Oh my god, do they understand? Even an adult player will feel boring. You said a group of **-year-old children are interested in listening to these things? Don't you think this will only stimulate their tiredness about football more and more?"

Fachetti is a professional player and is familiar with the youth training camp. He knows what Gao Han said is the truth.

"This is also the norm for Italian youth training in the past few years."

"That's the whole of Italy has problems from youth training to material selection, and they all went astray."

Gao Han's words made Fachetti really speechless.

In fact, in the past few years, there has been no decent talent in Italy's youth training. The only one who is more outstanding is Casano, but the player's perverse personality is well known.

Even in the league, young players do not have much convincing strength. For example, Paccini and Montolivo of Fiorentina have been hyped up, but they also do not reach the expected level.

"Actually, the emergence of youth training talents is often in batches, with high dynasties and low troughs. In the past few years, Italian youth training has indeed been at a low trough compared to the 1990s." Fachetti sighed.

Gao Han shook his head and smiled, "You are right. Youth training not only has high ebbs and lows, but also has serious lag. He serves the professional league and trains a player for several years or even more than ten years. However, the skills and tactics of professional football are always improving rapidly, and there will be huge changes every few years."

"So, with this youth training method in Italy, when the trained players join the first team, they will be seriously unable to keep up with the current mainstream technology and tactics. Not only are their technical skills not strong enough, but the tactical concepts in their minds that coaches instilled over the years are also completely out of reality. How do they perform?"

In Gao Han's view, youth training is to serve the professional league, and the direction of cultivating players has always been clear.

The so-called emergence of talents may be because the wave of youth training gathered a group of young talents, achieved results, led the technical and tactical trend, or was in line with the technical and tactical characteristics of the time, so it seemed that there were emergence of talents.

But the problem is that with the change of the professional league, from three to five years to one or two years, teams will soon develop new tactics to restrain your technical and tactical characteristics, and gradually promote them. Soon, the technical and tactical styles that originally led the trend will no longer be played.

If youth training still trains players in the original direction and method, then a new batch of players will soon appear, and it will be difficult for them to achieve good results and even find it difficult to gain a foothold in the professional league.

"To give the simplest example, since the Saki era, Italian youth training has undergone earth-shaking changes. Capello's AC Milan youth team trained by him has emerged in many talents and reached its peak in the 1990s. Italian youth training was also highly respected in those years, but what about now?"

"The pace of competition in mainstream European leagues is getting faster and faster, and La Liga and England have this trend. We all know that the faster the game pace, the higher the requirements for the players' technical skills. This is why many players who seem to have excellent technical abilities in other leagues seem rough when they go to La Liga and England."

"Not even mention other leagues, just Serie A. With the past few years, the players trained in Serie A's technical and tactical level and youth training cannot keep up with the requirements of the league, so local talents seem to have withered."

The topic has gradually spread, from the original Inter Milan material selection standards to the issue of selecting materials for other Serie A teams, to the issue of Italian youth training now, the original scope of discussion has long been revealed.

But it is difficult for everyone to refute Gao Han’s words.

Because what he is talking about is the actual situation in Italian football now.

"Then... what's your countermeasure?" Morati asked with concern.

Gao Han nodded and said, "It's very simple. According to the current relatively advanced youth training concept in Europe, it is difficult first and then easy, inside first and then outside."

"What does it mean?" Morati and Fachetti were both curious.

"Technology is the most difficult because it requires long-term crafting. At the same time, it also needs to cultivate players from a young age to play freely in the game and skillfully use technology, so that they can strengthen their own technical capabilities and strengthen themselves from an early age."

"When you are fifteen or sixteen years old, your technology will basically take shape, and then you will start to focus on cultivating their physical confrontation ability, instilling current tactical knowledge, improving their tactical literacy, and then allowing them to start entering the professional arena in two or three years."

A blacksmith must be strong himself.

As a professional player, the hardest thing is his own technical skills.

As long as he is strong enough and has achieved his technical skills, no matter how his skills and tactics change, no matter how the team's style and characteristics change, he can integrate into the team after a certain period of adaptation.

However, judging from the current youth training system and material selection standards of the Serie A, it is completely putting the cart before the horse. If you continue like this, don’t talk about talents, you may not even be able to maintain the foundation of the entire Serie A.

You should know that the rise and fall of professional leagues depends largely on their own hematopoietic ability.

The management of Serie A teams is not as good as that of the UK, and they are not even their own stadiums. They have very few business days, the economy of Italy is not particularly good, and there is a lack of commercial income, which leads to the revenue of Serie A teams themselves being much less than other leagues in terms of revenue.

In the past decade, Serie A has been able to maintain its money by spending money behind the scenes of wealthy bosses such as Morati and Berlusconi, but can this situation last?

The decline of Lazio and Rome, the fall of teams such as Parma, Sampdoria and Perugia are the most powerful proof.

If the team's finances are not ideal, but youth training is excellent, it can be barely maintained, but if it can't even be young training, what else can we rely on?

Speaking of football and youth training, Morati and Facheti are not as good as Gao Han, but when it comes to club management, Gao Han is definitely not as good as them, but it is precisely because of this that they know how serious the prospects described by Gao Han are.

In the past decade, has Inter Milan been burning money by relying on Morati?

But how long can Tamorati be burned? Three years, five years, or ten years?

Guardiola, Morati and Fachetti were just coming to chat with Gao Han, but unexpectedly, as they chatted, they came up with such a big topic, and even thought about it for a moment, they felt scared.

If it really comes to the day described by Gao Han, wouldn’t the Serie A be worse than the current Bundesliga?

At least, the Bundesliga is now vigorously promoting youth training reform, and its fiscal revenue is much better than that of the Serie A.

As for La Liga and England, I'm afraid I won't think about it.

Morati took a breath and looked at Gao Han deeply, "What do you think you should do?"

Obviously, he really made up his mind.

"In two steps, standardize club management and expand fiscal revenue as much as possible. I think the focus should be on opening overseas markets and new stadiums."

Gao Han has seen the British team's overseas opening and the huge benefits brought by a stadium, so Arsenal would rather lose his clothes and diet for many years than build a new stadium.

The same is true for Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan should do so.

As for how to build it, he didn't understand, it should be a headache for Morati and the others.

"Another step is to vigorously promote youth training reform, introduce advanced foreign youth training coaches, or arrange club youth training coaches to other advanced European youth training bases to receive training, improve the level of youth training coaches, and also improve their salary and benefits. This is not something that can be done overnight, but persistence will definitely lead to results."
