Haaland missed Borussia Dortmund against Sporting Portugal due to injury, will the Werazri offensive ability be damaged? Judging by Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga, the club could not do without Haaland's excellent performances, because in the last round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund lost to Borussia Moncheng. In the Champions League group stage, Bellingham and Mullen became the protagonists of the match, and German football star Vaughns said: "Bellingham reminds me of Barack, I can't find this kid's weakness in the midfield position. Ballack is an all-round midfielder in German football and Vaughans used Ballack's example to praise Bellingham for being very versatile. Vaughns revealed that German coach Flick envied England's youth training plan, and the English Football Association's policy of cultivating young players is worth learning.
When German fans saw Bellingham perform well, they were a little worried about the planning of young players in German football - the post-00s talent in English football was blowing up, Sancho, Foden and Saka had become famous, and in terms of fame, Bellingham was not too famous in terms of young players in British football. However, Bellingham can become the top of the Bundesliga, and after Sancho joined Manchester United, he has not yet adapted to the new owner, after all, the competition in the Premier League is much fiercer than in the Bundesliga. In contrast, there are also talented teenagers in German football, Wiltz, Mukoko and Musharra are all post-00s golden boys, but they seem to be inferior to the old England team in terms of quantity and quality. Vaughns is now the coach of the German youth team, and he knows that the young talent reserve of the German chariot is far inferior to that of the Three Lions.
As the manager of the national team, Flick certainly wants more good young players in the country, and it is normal for him to envy the youth program in British football. When Bellingham came to prominence in Birmingham City, some English journalists referred to him as the "next Gerrard", and judging by the technical characteristics and kicking consciousness of the youngster at the time, he had some similarities with the legendary Liverpool star, when he was also a typical British midfielder. Ever since Bellingham came to play in the Bundesliga, his style of playing "into the countryside" with the style of a German midfielder began to move closer to Ballack. As a midfielder, Bellingham's abilities are more balanced, his passing awareness and running position are very strong, so Vaughans thinks of Barack when he sees the youngster.
In my post-ball impression, Ballack is different from many well-rounded midfielders – many "all-round midfielders" can use every technique rationally, but they are not very strong in any way, such as Mario Götze, the former golden boy of German football. Not only was Ballack's technical condition very versatile, he also had his own strengths - his header ability, offensive and defensive conversion ability and free-kick level, which was in the top few places in football at the time. Vaughns said: "Bellingham reminds me of Barack. The star saw that the England youngster not only has a comprehensive personality, he also has fixed strengths to cultivate, Dort needs to grasp the future of this talented teenager, and Reus also needs to help him grow.
Before Bellingham, Sancho had exhilarated the Bundesliga, and Vaughns had discovered this trait – young players from British football who easily found their edge in the Bundesliga. But how are German players doing in the Premier League? Havertz is one of Germany's most iconic young players in recent years, and his goal in the Champions League final has given him "permanent breathing rights" at Chelsea. Judging from Xiao Kai's overall performance, the author feels that his ability to seize opportunities and show his talent is not bad after the ball, and he can sometimes contribute goals in strong dialogues, but after more than a season, Havertz still has not been in the main position in the Blues, and it is important to know that the manager of Stamford Bridge is still German. If it is changed to the England coach, Kai Jr. may not get so many opportunities.
Vaughness revealed that he and Flick sometimes discuss the youth training plan of German football, although the German Football Association attaches great importance to youth training in name, but the German Football Association's plan is mostly "thunder and rain", some practical players are packaged by German sports journalists as golden boys, in fact, the number of outstanding young players has not increased. England's youth training plan is relatively clear - not only do Premier League teams need to vigorously cultivate talents in every position, if the Championship clubs train overseas feet, they will receive more rewards from the Football Association, and Southgate has a lot of room for choice. After the Three Lions missed the Euro 2008 Championship, the FA's training plan has been shown in the past few years, and the German Football Association has not yet woken up, so Lick envies England's youth training plan.
