Little did Li Dai know that the effect of the team pyramid made it difficult for one of his coaches to find another job.
There are no well-known coaches in Dai Li's team. Most of the members are young people. After all, Dai Li's training center has only been open for a few years, and its background is not as good as that of an old-name physical training center. , or a sports club that has been open for decades.
Young coaches will definitely not be very good in terms of experience and level. Of course, their salary will be much lower. After all, you get what you pay for. The so-called high salary and low ability may exist, but low salary and high ability will always be the same. conflicting with each other.
Fortunately, Dai Li has a team pyramid, which can enable these young coaches to show better training levels.
But the bonus of the team pyramid is not the real ability of these young coaches after all. When they choose to change jobs or are poached by other bosses, Dai Li will naturally not let them continue to enjoy the bonus of the team pyramid, and they will naturally He returned to his normal state and became the young, average and inexperienced coach again.
In the past two years, as the reputation of Coach Li's training center has risen, the coaches under Li Dai have also attracted the attention of many peers. The relatively low salary given by Li Dai has also given competitors the hope of poaching, and he has started from scratch. It's a lot of trouble to train talents. Everyone wants to pick up what's ready, so Dai Li also had many people poached.
But those competitors who poached people from Dai Li soon discovered that poaching people from Dai Li was really a losing business. The coaches they poached showed work abilities that were completely worth the salary. . Judging from their work performance alone, the salary offered to them by Li Dai is not unfair at all. With their level, they can only take that kind of salary, and giving them high salaries is a loss-making business.
Gradually, the competitors discovered that these young coaches all performed very well when they were under Li Dai, and they were all the best among their peers. Once they left the Coach Li training center, they all became Ordinary people are not even considered outstanding talents.
Some people began to joke that Li Dai had some magic and knew some Eastern witchcraft, so the coaches who left there were cursed by Li Dai. But in fact, all professionals in sports training know that this is probably Gap in management capabilities and teamwork.
Just like in basketball, there is always a so-called "system player". This kind of player may have various shortcomings, but under a certain tactical system, he can exert great potential. In terms of combat power, even a player with a minimum salary may be able to produce close to All-Star statistics. But once he left this tactical system that suited him, he immediately showed his true colors and turned back into his original minimum-salary player.
Coaches are the same way. Most coaches have their own training directions that they are good at and not good at. There is also the term system coach. Whether it is football or basketball, there is the kind of coach who is famous all over the world. In the tactical system he is good at, he can display excellent coaching standards. Once he breaks away from the tactical system he is good at, coaching will be difficult. The level will drop several notches in an instant.
Therefore, Dai Li's competitors naturally believed that the poached coaches performed poorly because they were all system coaches and could only adapt to Dai Li's training system. At the same time, many sports training practitioners in Los Angeles have also reached a consensus, that is, never poach people from Dai Li. They are all system coaches anyway, and it will be useless if they are poached. Even if Dai Li's coach takes the initiative to switch jobs, don't offer a high salary.
The loss of talent has also made Li Dai wary. It is not easy to train a qualified coach these days. Li Dai does not need to hope that his employee rotation rate is too high. If an old person leaves and a new person comes in every few days, it will also affect the situation. The work at the training center was carried out smoothly.
So Dai Li also took some measures to prevent the loss of talent. For example, some employees with good abilities are given stock dividends, such as Chris Payton, who received this kind of treatment. Another example is to be more generous in terms of bonuses. For example, after the Olympics, Dai Li paid bonuses to all employees, and also promised to double the year-end bonuses, which can also increase employee loyalty.
In addition, Dai Li also changed to a better insurance company and purchased better medical insurance for his employees. Medical treatment in the United States is not generally expensive. A good medical insurance can be enjoyed not only by employees themselves, but also by their spouses and children. Therefore, it is also an excellent benefit for those employees who have already started a family and started a career. Welfare. Many people with families may accept a slightly lower salary for better medical insurance.
…
At this time, Dai Li had arrived in Madrid, Spain.
Madrid is the capital of Spain, but in Li Dai's opinion, it doesn't look like a capital. The roads are very narrow, the buildings are very old, and there are not many people on the streets. The whole city gives Li Dai a feeling as if he hasn't slept. It's like waking up, full of a slow-paced atmosphere.
Dai Li's first stop was the "Galaxy Fleet" Real Madrid Football Club.
The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home of Real Madrid, is open to tourists. Tourists can purchase tickets to visit. In addition to visiting the stadium, they can also visit the Real Madrid Museum and see the display of honors achieved by Real Madrid.
In fact, Real Madrid receives a large number of visitors every year, including tourists, dignitaries or celebrities. Sometimes when dignitaries or celebrities come to visit, the club will give a jersey with the visitor's name on it as a gift.
Dai Li had sent an invitation letter in advance, so he didn't have to visit with tourists. Real Madrid sent someone to receive him and also gave Dai Li a jersey with his name on it.
The name of the U.S. National Track and Field Team is still very bluffing. What is even more bluffing is Dai Li’s achievements in the Olympic Games. He won 27 gold medals in one Olympic Games, which is enough for any coach to look up to. Based on this alone, Dai Li can gain the respect of Real Madrid.
In sports training, performance is still king. Even if it is a different event, as long as it can reach the top level in the world, it will be recognized by the other party.
Real Madrid Club sent the team's sports manager Henry to receive Li Dai.
Henry is a Frenchman. He was also a football player when he was young and also played for Real Madrid. At his peak, he was the world's number one attacking midfielder. He won three FIFA Footballer of the Year and a European Ballon d'Or. During the club period, he won the Champions League, La Liga and Serie A championships. During the national team, he also won the World Cup and European Cup. He is a Grand Slam player in football.
Dai Li is no stranger to Henry. It is no exaggeration to say that he grew up watching Henry play football. When he was a student, Dai Li only saw Henry's heroic appearance on TV and newspapers, but now he is Henry came to receive him personally.
After a brief visit to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Henry took Li Dai to the Valdebebas training base. This is Real Madrid's exclusive training base. It provides daily training for Real Madrid's big-name players, as well as training for all echelons of the team. It's all done here. Unlike the Bernabeu Stadium, this place is not open to fans.
Under normal circumstances, dignitaries or celebrities who come to visit Real Madrid Club will not be arranged to come to the Valdebebas training base, but Li Dai is different. He is a coach and a professional, and he is also a top professional in the industry. Since professionals are here to visit, Real Madrid Club naturally wants to show them some real "dry stuff".
There is a saying that laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the door. In ancient times, street performers, if there were insiders present, would show off one or two real skills. If a top club like Real Madrid, the world's top club, tries to deal with insiders the same way it deals with fans, it would be like humiliating itself.
Because of this, Dai Li was able to visit the Valdebebas training base.
"Coach Li, that's our youth training base over there. Next, we plan to open part of it to tourists. On the far left is the training of the youth echelon. Let's start there." Henry said with a smile.
"Host or guest, as you please." Dai Li agreed while following Henry to the training camp for the youth echelon.
There are some children in the youth echelon, including U10, U12 and U14 levels. If you are older, if you can continue to stay in Real Madrid, you will have to report to the youth team.
"Our U10 youth team is the strongest in Spain, with a record of winning 23 games this season! Our children have scored 233 goals in these 23 games, averaging double digits per game. And We only conceded 8 goals in total.”
"In the Mediterranean Cup U12 game that ended in April, our U12 team successfully defeated Barcelona and won the championship. In that game, the first goal scorer was my son. You see, he is the third one from the left. Henry said with a proud face. The former world's No. 1 attacking midfielder seemed to be more excited about winning the championship when talking about his son.
Dai Li marveled at the Spanish football system. U10 and U12 have their own leagues, and both are very prosperous. Even giants like Real Madrid attach great importance to it. No wonder Spanish football is so powerful. In China, no one would care about how well some 10 or 12-year-old children play football.
Next to Dai Li, Halls looked at the children who were about his own age training, with a look of envy and eagerness to try.
Several people came to the U14 training ground again.
"The U14 team seems to be having a training match." Henry pointed to the field.
"There is another yellow kid." Dai Li saw a yellow child running on the field.
"His name is Tanaka, he is Japanese, and he is praised by Japan as a talented football boy." Henry shook his head when he said this: "Maybe in Asia, he is considered a genius, but in Europe and Spain, a boy of his caliber is... There’s a lot of that in this age group.”
While Dai Li and Henry were talking, a child on the court suddenly made a big kick and the ball flew towards Dai Li.
Beside Li Dai, Howles saw the ball flying over and instinctively ran forward a few steps. He entered the sideline of the court, then stopped the ball with his chest, firmly controlled the ball, and then he kicked it directly. Kick the ball towards the edge of the penalty area.
The ball landed exactly at the feet of one of the offensive players.
"Beep!" The coach on the scene blew the whistle. There was external interference and he suspended the practice match.
Henry looked at Howles with a strange look. Henry was the number one attacking midfielder in the world back then. In terms of comprehensive skills, he was considered the best in the world. Therefore, he could see that the ball stopped by Halls just now could be passed with one kick. It was not something that ordinary children could kick. from.
"Who is this child?" Henry looked at Howles carefully.
"This kid doesn't have any Chinese characteristics. He shouldn't be Coach Li's son, so who is he!" Thinking of this, Henry said to Dai Li: "Coach Li, I didn't expect that there is a little player hiding next to you! "
"Haha, his name is Halls Forrest. He has loved playing football since he was a child. Coach Payton next to me is his guardian. Coach Payton came to Spain with me this time. I can't leave Halls alone. They stayed in the United States, so I simply brought them with me." Dai Li answered.
"Not many of you Americans like to play football." Henry nodded.
"Howles is from Argentina." Dai Li immediately replied.
"Argentinian!" A strange color flashed in Henry's eyes. Then he pointed to the court and asked Halls in Spanish: "Little player, do you want to go up and try?"
Howles nodded seriously, then turned to look at Dai Li, as if asking for Dai Li's opinion.
Dai Li deliberately showed a helpless smile: "Okay, if Mr. Henry allows you, you can go, but remember, you will hurt yourself if you are indecent."
"Great!" Halls raised his hand excitedly.
Henry called the coach on the scene over and gave a few instructions in a low voice. The coach then brought a red practice shirt and handed it to Halls. At the same time, he said: "You join the red team. By the way, you play What position?"
"Forward," Howles replied.
"Forward? Your height is not an advantage. On our forward line, the shortest ones are one head taller than you." The coach smiled helplessly, and then continued: "Let me briefly explain to you the red team Today's tactics, then you can go on the field. The red team is mainly playing defensive counterattacks today... "
…
Payton leaned close to Li Dai's ear and said: "Boss, look at the players in the Real Madrid Club. Although they are about the same age as Halls, they are much taller and stronger than Halls. If Els goes up to play football with them, will he suffer physically?"
"English football is different from American football." Dai Li smiled slightly, and then said: "If you ask me to describe it, English football is more like an art, an art on the feet."
Payton had an expression that seemed to understand.
Dai Li continued: "Do you still remember what I told you before? Halls will become a generation of football champions. Do you think a generation of football champions will not be able to cope with this kind of situation? Just wait and see. He will give us a surprise!"
