A dream situation in the opening two minutes was not defended, and three penalties conceded turned Go Home into Go Rome.Fifty-five years on, English soccer is still on its way home......

Early this morning.

European cup (e.g. soccer)

In the final, Italy sifted through England on penalties to win after 53 years of

European cup (e.g. soccer)

The Championship.

Unfortunately, England did not maintain the dream situation of the opening two minutes until the end, and conceded three consecutive penalties to swallow the bitter fruit of the loss.

Despite being one step away from the trophy, there is no doubt that scoring the

European cup (e.g. soccer)

The finalists have now seen the light of home and are that close to the end.

This experience will surely be a valuable asset to this young army with an average age of 25.3 years, and England's storm will surely be waiting for the next resurgence.

From Salon to National Captive System

In 1966, England lifted the Hercules Cup at their own doorstep. That generation of England players is not a stone crack into a wave of elite jumped out, but benefit from the early salon youth training.

1938.

Manchester United Football Club

The establishment of the first real youth training institution in the list of soccer history - the

Manchester United Football Club

Youth Sports Salon, a youth training philosophy that shifts from discovery to nurturing that makes

The harvest was plentiful for many years afterwards, with young players such as Duncan Edwards and Bobby Charlton coming to the fore and effecting the name of Busby's treasure.

And then, multiple teams followed suit

Manchester United Football Club

A youth training system was established.

The national team can benefit from salon youth training, the FA is of course happy to see it, so it has always been a laissez-faire attitude to the management of youth training.

However, this youth training system of salons planting trees and national teams taking advantage of the shade is premised on salons having saplings to plant, but after the 1970s, this premise began to collapse ......

As it is, the soccer hooligans are coming.

From 1974 when the first time a fan was killed in a soccer hooligan activity to the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy, soccer hooligans have used fifteen years to turn English soccer into a particularly low sport, with physical education classes cut, school stadiums sold, children banned from playing soccer, and grassroots soccer coaches earning less than canners. Therefore, the youth training system of each salon gradually withered, and the English Football Association had no choice but to concentrate the remaining good seedlings in captivity.

In 1984, the English Football Association elite campus was formally established. This campus is similar to our year Jianlibao team, the English FA every year in the scale of the country to select 16 14 to 15 years old teenage talent, they circle together with food and sleep with training for two whole years.

This campus lasted until its closure in 1999, during which time a total of 234 students were enrolled. It was full of such thunderous names as Andy Cole, Owen, Joe Cole and Sol Campbell, but this pinch-point model failed to taste much sweetness for England. Some of these kids bloated up too early, some lost their confidence among the elite, some had their futures cut short by a major injury ...... In the end, only 25% of the participants signed professional contracts at the age of 18, a rather low success rate.

Therefore, since 1999, the task of youth soccer training has been decentralized from scratch to various professional salons.

And with this release, there is a new problem.

Whether it's a free economy or macro-control, that's the question

In 1999, the English FA asked each salon to set up their own youth training camp (Academy), replacing the original loosely organized training center (Center of Excellence). However, this system has been running for 10 years, the English FA found that we are still not able to constitute their respective seedlings, the full blossom of the benign ecology, but ...... involution.

Yes, there are some inevitable problems that arise when there are more youth camps.

For one thing, all the good ones want to get on

Manchester United Football Club

Chelsea

Such good campuses, but the adult teams of these good campuses can't digest so much talent, so a large number of excellent young people are leased around, resulting in a waste of talent.

Secondly, the good seedling are snatched away by the good campus, and even some semi-finished products are signed away by the good campus at a very low price, the medium campus can never see the money back, engage in youth training is not enough to make ends meet.

Third, many teams' youth camps are located on the outskirts of the city, and training three times a week is best done by car, making it difficult for kids from poor families to attend good camps.

In order to deal with these problems, the FA introduced a magical realism rule in January 2009: players under the age of 12 could only attend a team's youth camp within an hour's drive of their residence, and players in the 13 to 16 age group could attend a youth camp within an hour and 30 minutes' drive of their residence.

This rule came to be known as, the 90-minute drive rule.

Everyone from the teams to the juniors to the parents of the kids are jumping up and down in anger regarding this historic stunt by the EFL.

Regarding the team, the scale of youth training selection is constrained to their own doorsteps, and the team that relies on the sea wants to engage in youth training and even has to go to the Dragon Palace to try their luck. As for the young players, this kind of forced schooling program will make some of the young geniuses are forced to be divided into the low-level league some limited conditions in the youth training camp. As for the children's parents, if they want to send their children to a better youth training camp, they can only choose to buy school district housing relocation.

Of course, the FA so in 2009 to introduce such a mothball rule, with the England national team without a 2008

International Cup

It has a lot to do with it.

Although the 90-minute drive rule is really not a good idea, from that point on, the FA did have ideas on how to deal with the balance between free economy and macro-control.

So they then did two great things that benefited future generations.

This St. George's Park and EPPP

Youth training in the salon, the beneficiary is the national team, how to stand at the height of the national level to mobilize the enthusiasm of large, small and medium-sized salons, it has become a problem that must be considered by the FA in the construction of youth training.

The good thing is, for once, the FA has actually used its brain.

In 2011, the EFL introduced a set of programs called

Elite Player Development Program

The ElitePlayer Performance Plan (EPPP), or EPPP for short, is a reform program with three primary components:

At the top of the list, the awful 90-minute drive rule in youth training recruitment is abolished. Powerful salons can break the geographical constraints and bring potential young players from all over the world under their wings.

Secondly, all youth training camps are divided into four tiers. The higher the tier, the more sponsorship from the FA, the more resources it enjoys, and the higher the hardware and software equipment specifications for youth camps.

Thirdly, a young player from a low-grade youth camp can be bought by a high-grade other youth camp, but after becoming successful the high-grade other shadow should have to compensate his home team twice, at a considerable price.

The significance of these three policies is to allow the best seedlings to withstand the finest training, to allow the slowly emerging seedlings to have the possibility of upgrading to the big youth camps, and to allow the lower ranked teams not to lose sight of the hope that they can still get the money to come back to them once their own seedlings grow to be the big trees.

-EPPPP in the four years following the passage of the

England Premier Soccer League

The various salons and other quality youth camps have invested £320 million in Southampton,

Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)

Manchester City football club

and other youth camps owe much of their talent spurt to this.

-Sterling transfers for the 2015-16 season

Manchester City football club

, his parent team, QPR, got nearly £10 million in commission, while a Championship team costs about £30 million a year to run.

Although this policy has to a certain extent sacrificed the interests of small and medium-sized teams, and has been opposed by many teams, this policy can ensure the success rate of elite players, especially England's local elite, so that England's youth training on a win-win road for the league and the national team.

Along with this, the EFL itself didn't lie flat on its back and eat dry food. A year after the EPPP was introduced, in 2012, St. George's Park, which cost a whopping £105 million, was officially opened.

This park is the center of national soccer in England, and he has another nickname - the Oxbridge of English soccer.

Just as its nickname suggests, St. George's Park has three primary responsibilities:

A. Provide a place of learning with 11 outdoor courts and 1 indoor artificial turf court, as well as the top international medical center, gymnasium and data research center, which can accommodate up to 24 national teams to train together.

B. The theoretical dissection and study of soccer has allowed English soccer to move away from long passes altogether.

C. Sending soccer teachers to the country and cultivating various supporting talents including youth training coaches.

This kind of national soccer center is not the first of its kind in England. As early as 1988, France set up the French National Football Technical Center in Clafontaine, a suburb of Paris; in 2000, Germany similarly set up the German Football Technical Center.

national soccer team

Center of Excellence of the Association.

The success of the French and Germans was seen by the British, as early as 2001, the FA used 2 million pounds to buy a piece of land in Burton to prepare for the construction of the National Football Center, but this program due to the Wembley Stadium spend too much money and was temporarily shelved until 2008 did not enter the

International Cup

It was only rebooted afterward.

Now that national-level equipment is available and national-level talent development programs are in place, the next question is how to keep this talent multiplying under the system and still be plug-and-play in the system the country wants?

In 2014, a study called the England DNA Study Effect, was officially released.

The launch event featured 1,500 youth coaches from across the country.

The publisher, who was England U21 manager ...... Southgate at the time.

It's harvest time, this English soccer.

After St. George's Park was erected, the FA poached a number of talents from its own Football Research Center, including Southampton's Matt Crocker and Everton's Neil Dewsnip,

Manchester City football club

's Mike Liege, Milton Keynes' Dan Micciche, and a host of other successful figures from prestigious youth camps who have come together to create this England DNA project.

The effects of this program are distributed to every youth coach and every young player who participates in the England Youth Team.

And these effects deal with the following five questions: Who are we? How do we play? What will the England players of the future look like? How do we coach? How will others support us?

--Who are we?

It refers to the education of patriotism, so that every coach, player and staff member has to clearly recognize on and off the field what the jersey and crest they are wearing really stands for, and always be proud of England.

--How do we play?

This means that the same tactical thinking should be applied from U15 to adult teams. The courage to patiently control the ball, do not be under pressure to blindly open the big foot; lose possession of the ball quickly on the ground counter-strike or quickly from the beginning of the organization of the defensive line, so that players learn to judge the situation on the field.

-What does an England player of the future look like?

It refers to the four areas of comprehensive training requirements for future England internationals. These four aspects include: technical and tactical, physical quality, psychological quality and communication skills. Especially the psychological quality and communication skills, put forward a lot of past England youth training easily ignored the problem.

--How do coaches teach?

It refers to how the coach has to organize the usual training and competition. This includes more ball training, more interest games and other details, as well as the macro requirements of the program → implementation → summary of the average distribution of time. More importantly, all youth coaches in England should follow the English DNA in coaching to form a consistent soccer philosophy and competition style.

--How do others support it?

This refers to the fact that staff from all other parts of the FA have to provide the most comprehensive guarantee for the representative teams at all levels. Medical support and data analysis need not be mentioned, psychological teaching and catering nutrition must be in place, every logistical position has strict detailed requirements.

It could be said that this is a guide to the actions carried out in English soccer.

This action guide, which calls for coaches to pick high-end, consistent tactical styles and players to cultivate more and more stress-resistant tactical and mental qualities, means that many coaches and players are going to have to abandon the training methods and philosophies they've relied on to be successful and learn something new from scratch.

At that time, Southgate conference indicated: we do not want to stand here to say that this is a program, it will take five years to see what will be produced.

But if we can do it, England teams of all ages should be able to show competitiveness in the finals and semi-finals of international tournaments.

A national soccer guide + a sound and scientific Salon youth training system + the research and training of St. George's Park's elite + the best efforts of many soccer people ......

A few years later, England's youth system began to blow up.

In 2017, England have been in the FIFA U20

International Cup

UEFA U19 Youth Championship, FIFA U17 Youth Championship.

International Cup

On winning the title.

In 2018, England accomplished the feat of a triple crown at the U21 Toulon Cup. You could see Foden and Sancho in that wave of young talent,

James (name)

, Munter, and Llewyn's names, and all of these names, which have now made it into the current session

European cup (e.g. soccer)

Among the England national team's roster.

Soccer home, not overnight to complete. This time, England and close to the trophy regret to miss, however, I believe that in the near future, this batch of young will also grow into the England lineup of national pillar.
