Sir Bobby Robson, the former England national team coach and the most decorated and legendary current English coach, has decided to serve as youth training director at Tottenham Hotspur. Once this news was disclosed by the British media, it immediately caused a big earthquake in the English football world - most people did not expect that after being fired by Newcastle, Robson did not choose to coach an adult team. He went to his former disciples to train and train those underage players!

Although Robson is old and has not won a championship trophy for many years after leaving Barcelona, ​​no one can deny the coaching ability of this old coach. You know, without Robson's hard work over the years, Newcastle, which was in deep trouble after Keegan left, would have been reduced to a mid-range team, and there would be no chance of showing up in European competitions. ?

Therefore, many people are extremely puzzled by Robson's decision - even if you were just bitten by those white-eyed wolves in Newcastle, you wouldn't be so sad that you just say goodbye to this position, right?

Or to put it bluntly, as long as Old Robson reveals his willingness to coach, countless clubs will immediately take the initiative to send contracts to the old coach and invite Old Robson to coach their teams!

In fact, the reason why Robson Sr. agreed to George's invitation to serve as Tottenham's youth training director was mainly due to the following two considerations.

First of all, since being diagnosed with cancer 13 years ago, the old Robson, who refuses to admit defeat, has been fighting tenaciously against cancer. This kind of spirit and fighting spirit has certainly moved countless fans, but it has also caused the physical condition of the old man who has always insisted on being the head coach to deteriorate. By this time, the 71-year-old Robson's physical condition no longer allows him to continue fighting on the front line. Therefore, going to Tottenham to serve as the director of youth training with relatively less pressure and not being far away from the stadium is obviously more in line with the current requirements of the old Robson.

Secondly, Robson Sr. was also moved by George's sincerity. In particular, some of George's insights and analysis on English football's local youth training not only deeply moved the old man, but also made the old Robson realize that although English football seems to be in a good situation now, there is great hope for international football. A substantial breakthrough was achieved in the competition, but in fact it was already full of crises!

Although a superstar like Wayne Rooney has emerged in English football in the past two years, he will undoubtedly become the forward ace of the Three Lions in the next ten years. In addition, Terry, Lampard, Gerrard, Ryder The growth momentum of young talents such as Leigh King is also quite good, but the actual situation is that since entering the 21st century, England's local youth training has begun to decline significantly in terms of quality and quantity. Apart from Rooney, there is no other player in English football who is able to perform well under the age of 20!

In this way, it is natural for Old Robson to accept the position provided by George. After all, compared to Tottenham, who are considerate and considerate and also know how to focus on the overall situation, it is really difficult for clubs that only care about their own interests to win the favor of the coach.

Now that he has agreed to serve as the youth training director of Tottenham Hotspur, the old Robson, who has a strong sense of responsibility, will naturally not just hang around in this position. On the second day of his official inauguration, Robson Sr. rushed to George's office at Tottenham headquarters early in the morning, preparing to have a detailed discussion with his disciple on some issues!

"Welcome to Tottenham Hotspur, Sir Robson." Seeing his mentor walk into his office, George put on a serious look and shook hands with the old Robson in a polite manner.

"I'm very happy to be a member of Tottenham, Viscount Nelson... brat! Do you think I would say that?!" Old Robson, who found no one around and put on a handsome demeanor when he entered, immediately revealed his true colors. Bi Lu, slapped the latter on the shoulder, making George grin and said, "You have only won a few championships, and you still dare to show off in front of me, old man? Tell me! Do you think your wings are stiff and you think you can show off in front of me?" Are you pretending?"

"Hey, old man, how could I dare to do such a thing?" George chuckled and said, "I just wanted to make a joke with you, but I didn't expect that you wouldn't cooperate at all, old man. Tsk, it's really disappointing."

Next, George explained to Robson the elder the scope of responsibilities of the position of youth training director at Tottenham. Old Robson also raised questions and suggestions on some things he was more concerned about, and George answered them one by one.

"Wigan Athletic's Leighton Baines?" Looking through the player profile in his hand, George finally recalled this English left-back who performed well at Everton in his previous life and was even associated with Manchester United. He did not expect that the player recommended to him by Robson was not for the youth team, but to strengthen the first team's bench!

Come on, old man, you are too awesome. You gave me a big gift as soon as you took office. After confirming that Baines was the fierce man who was once hailed as England's No. 1 left back after Ashley Cole, George, who was still worried about Evra's substitute, couldn't help but be overjoyed - although Matthew Taylor has a The long-range shot with excellent foot quality and forward attack are also impressive, but in terms of ability, Taylor is at best the main player of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, and there is no comparison with Baines.

However, although George had heard of Leighton Bynes' name in his previous life and knew that he was a powerful left back, he really couldn't remember which team he came from - even during the acquisition craze. After the San Antonio Spurs, George established a whole scouting system around the world to find potential young players, and it was impossible to find those future stars right away.

"George, don't underestimate this little guy." Seeing that George did not make a statement, the old Robson, who thought that his apprentice looked down on Baynes, said quickly, "Although Baynes is very good in physical confrontation and one-on-one defense, There are still some shortcomings in other aspects, but his overall view and footwork are the best among English defenders of his age. It is much more difficult to develop these two things than simply improving his physical fitness."

Unlike those British coaches who advocate physical confrontation and regard flying from both wings and long passes as the only way to win the game, Old Robson is a rare player in English football who focuses on cultivating players' skills rather than A head coach who relies on physical fitness to play football. At the same time, his love and cultivation of young players is also famous throughout England.

This can be seen from Robson's previous coaching resume. Under this old coach, players such as Gascoigne, Figo, Ronaldo, Bellamy, Solano and other skilled players were able to produce quite eye-catching statistics and performances, and the teams he coached were never good. There is a lack of young talent.

Therefore, it can be said that George is extremely relieved to have Robson Sr. as the youth training director of Tottenham. With this respected coach in charge, the English players who come out of Tottenham's youth training system will at least not be like in their previous lives. They have become a group of rough guys who just rush forward when they get the ball.
