Who should Barcelona thank for winning the treble again?

Barcelona Football Club once again completed the triple crown this year, making history. Behind the strong strength of Barcelona's first team, La Masia Football School, as the youth training camp of Barcelona, has provided many excellent football players. What are the world-famous youth training camps in Ramallah?

In the past 20 14-20 15 season, Barcelona Football Club defeated defending champion Atletico Madrid in Calderon, winning La Liga one round ahead of schedule, beating Athletic Bilbao in the final of the King's Cup, and beating Juventus in Berlin, thus winning the Champions League, La Liga and the King's Cup again in a single season after the 2008-2009 season. As a result, Barcelona became the first team in the history of the Champions League to win the triple crown twice, and created its own dream of four dynasties. The feat of winning the triple crown twice will be recorded in history forever.

Speaking of Barcelona's success, we have to admire its excellent youth training camp-La Marcia Football School, known as the "quarry", where many main players of Barcelona and other top football clubs in the world have made their debut. Among the seven heroes who helped Barcelona win the Triple Crown, Iniesta entered La Marcia at the age of 65,438+02, Harvey at the age of 65,438+06,5438+0, Messi at the age of 65,438+03, Pique at the age of 65,438+07, and busquets and Pedro at the age of 65,438+07. Only Alves is not the "West Point Military Academy" on this football field. It can be said that without La Masia Football School, there would be no Barcelona Football Club today and the huge football industry chain behind it.

The history of La Masia

For Barcelona, Lauriano Ruiz is his grandfather, sowing the seeds; Cruyff is the father, watering and fertilizing to promote his growth; Guardiola and Enrique, as heirs, have gained fruitful results.

La Marcia, which means "farm" in Catalan, was used as a building material factory by Barcelona during the renovation of Camp Nou Stadium in 1954, and made La Marcia the club headquarters on September 26th. 1966. 1979101October 20th, after the headquarters moved to a modern building near the ice hockey arena, Ramasia was transformed into a dormitory for young players in the club echelon. It includes a dining room, six bedrooms, a library and a computer room. In addition, there is a complete management system including management, teachers, doctors, psychologists and even chefs. For the club, La Masia is a youth training camp that undertakes the future hope of the club, and also undertakes the task of educating young people. And the completion of all this is inseparable from the football godfathers in La Masia.

Lauriano Ruiz took over as the head coach of the Barcelona Youth Team in the summer of 1972, and led the team to win the Catalan (Youth) League and the Spanish (Youth) League for five consecutive years. 1974, Ruiz was appointed as the main coordinator of the whole college. He and the top management of the club stipulated the players of the youth team and forced all players to choose between two options: work or study. He understands that it is important for these children to grow up like normal people when they are young, even more important than honing their skills.

In the way of youth training player selection and professional training, Ruiz undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the youth training concept of Ramasia later. In the 1970s, the coach thought that the first thing to do was to strengthen the players' physique, and then teach them to play football at the age of 17. Ruiz turned all this around. His view is that it is more important to teach children how to handle the ball. On the wall of the club's main office, there is a slogan left by Riza: "If you come to recommend a youth team player under 1 m 8, please leave." After 1976 took over as the coach of the first team, Ruiz brought the youth team closer to the first team, thus providing a steady stream of football talents for the first team. 1978, Lauriano-Ruiz left Barcelona. During his six years in Catalonia, he completed the reform of the youth academy, which made the club tend to choose players with short stature but excellent skills and sowed the seeds of today's Barcelona football style. He is the first person who firmly believes in the 3-4-3 formation of diverting small players with technology, and he also knows the great significance of playing beautiful football.

If Ruiz pointed out the direction for La Marcia, then Toth made it a reality. Some media commented, "Without Tos, there would be no birth of La Mathea." Toth initially served as a youth training coach, 1979 assisted nunes to establish a youth training base in la masia, and served as the youth training director. During his 40-year working career, Toth has excavated countless talented players for Barcelona. Guardiola admitted, "Barcelona today can not be separated from Tott's selfless contribution."

Until 1988, johan cruyff became the coach of the first team, and all teams finally began to play football in the same way, with the same model and concept. After taking over as head coach, the Dutchman first called all the youth team captains. The requirement is simple: teams at all levels must use the 4-3-3 formation and establish the belief of "controlling the ball, passing the ball and disintegrating the opponent with technology". During the period of coaching Barcelona, most of the players' training courses were focused on passing and catching the ball. In cruyff's view, football is composed of countless triangular passes on the court. If you can pass and catch the ball well without making mistakes, you will meet the basic requirements of cruyff, which is also the most basic technical quality requirement of Barcelona for players. Cappella, the coach of La Marcia, described it this way: "No matter where you are on the court, you must have at least two passing points, which is the most basic.

Today in La Masia

At present, the youth training system in Barcelona has 12 echelon, from U8 to U 19, with more than 240 students. Finding these more than 200 young players is the foundation of Barcelona's youth training. According to Capelas, one of the leaders of Barcelona's youth training, "Barcelona has a special scouting department, and Spain has 20 scouts to look for talents. But the principle of Barcelona is to find talents in Barcelona first, and then Catalonia. If there are no good players in some positions, we will look for them in Spain and finally foreign players. " La masia's resident director Vogra said that children living in la masia mainly come from Catalonia but not Barcelona, followed by children from Valencia, asturias, Murcia and Andalusia. Although the foreign aid of Barcelona youth training camp has been much more than that of Messi, the overall proportion is still very small. It is difficult for foreign players to leave their hometown when they are young. Finally, the problem of high cost. In order to let the families of foreign players accompany these children, clubs should provide jobs for their parents.

The training time of each echelon in Barcelona is actually only one and a half hours a day, that is, the time of a game. The time for children to participate in community homework counseling even exceeds the training time by half an hour. Capelas explained: "The players in all echelons of the club only train for one and a half hours at most every day, and we never train for more than one and a half hours. Players aged U8 and U9 train three times a week, plus a game on Saturday. Echelons above U 12 are trained four times a week, and teams above U 16 are trained five times a week. Like Barcelona II, there is a game every weekend. Little players have summer vacation, usually more than 30 days in U 16. The younger the age, the longer the holiday, which can be as long as 45 days or 50 days. " In addition,/kloc-the training of players under 0/5 years old is all ball training, mainly technical training, but also some position training. /kloc-began to train physical fitness and physical fitness at the age of 0/5. "

Barcelona youth training has two modes of operation. One is a child who lives in Barcelona or Catalonia. They go to school like all children and live with their families. The club will rent a car to pick them up for training at school and send them back at night. Doing this every day is not a small expense, but Barcelona thinks it is worthwhile because Barcelona attaches great importance to the influence of family education on children. Another way is that children who don't live in Catalonia, the youngest 12 years old, live in La Masia, and the club is responsible for all living expenses and tuition fees, including inviting teachers to attend classes in La Masia and so on.

Barcelona has also done a good job in connecting the youth team with the first team. Capelas explained in detail Barcelona's policy on using young players. "Barcelona's goal is that at least 50% of the first-team players come from the youth training camp. This is not an oral principle, but a written stipulation. 50% of the first-team players are from Barcelona Youth Training Camp, the other 35% are the best players in Spain or Europe, and finally 15% of the players must be world-class players. At present, 15% of the players include Messi, Harvey, Iniesta and other players trained from the youth training camp. Of course, even if the club expressly stipulates that 50% of the first-team players should come from youth training, how to digest about 20 "graduates" every year has become a "joy and worry". Although La Marcia's success rate is not low, it still reflects the high elimination rate of player training, which is the real reason why La Marcia attaches importance to the cultural education of young players after Ruiz.

These are undoubtedly valuable legacies left by the fathers of Ramasia.
