The youth training camp in Tokomster consists of dressing room, medical department, restaurant, conference hall, gym and training ground, but there is no place to provide accommodation. Because children can't live without their families, most of the young players go home after training, and only a few who live too far away will live in host families. Attacking football is a tradition of Ajax. The formation of all the echelons of the club is 433, and the coach of each echelon trains the players according to Ajax's tactical style. In the Ajax people's concept, the game is to play offensive football, and they are very disgusted with the Italian concept of defensive football. Their youth teams go abroad to participate in competitions every year and experience different football styles, including Italian football that they love to defend.
In addition, Ajax Club attaches great importance to the cultural education and moral education of young players. Students who don't study hard at school and fail the exam are not allowed to train and compete. Individualism and violation of discipline are strictly prohibited in the youth training camp in Tokomster. The coach pays close attention to children's behavior and has clear rules. Players with earrings and long hair are not allowed to enter the youth training camp. They must arrive half an hour before the training and 1 hour before the competition. In the opinion of the club manager, players must grow up freely and learn to respect the rules and others. In addition, they should even know how to respect sponsors, and their young players can only wear Adidas shoes on and off the court.
Ajax's success rate is amazing. 95% of children who pass all echelon training will become professional players. This ratio is beyond the reach of any giant youth team such as Real Madrid and AC Milan. There are not a few young players who can't get professional contracts and become physical education teachers and fitness coaches. For Ajax, this is true. There are 120 players from Ajax in the Dutch league, not to mention Ajax players who play in other national leagues and Dutch second division. Clubs usually only offer professional contracts to the best players in youth teams below 18 and 19. They dislike that children aged 65,438+04 and 65,438+05 have agents. They think that this is economically beneficial to parents, but harmful to children's growth.
Ajax people regard sloppy, Italian defensive football concept and excessive media intervention as the three enemies of young players' growth. And their selection criterion is "tip". T stands for technical skills, I stands for intelligence, P stands for personality, and S stands for speed. They think these are the four most important aspects of a player.
