WHEN TEAMS HAVE THE MENTALITY OF GIVING CHANCES AND BELIEVING IN YOUNG PLAYERS?

Now it is important to observe when the big teams give the young players the opportunity and believe in them. This reminds me when the Brazilian palyer Vinicius Jr. arrived at Real Madrid and it was difficult for him to adapt. He was very young, 17 years old, he came from Flamengo and many believed that he was not going to succeed at Real Madrid but now at 19 years old he has already mature and an is an important piece in the team, the  same way as the Uruguayan Federico Valverde now with 23 years, who is  a regular player in Real Madrid.  The Brazilian Rodrygo Silva come to Real Madrid in 2019 now at 21 years old players who arrived young but were playing are adapting  to the team,  Madrid have more young players like Luka Jovic and more players   a good investment from Real Madrid, a team that has known how to bet on young players, there are others too, but I mention these players who come from outside of Spain in from different nations  , but with players who want to succeed outside their country, discipline, dedication and support from family is very important that you can also see the hand of Coach Ancelotti where he believed in them other coaches did not believe and in this youth, that is why I applaud and congratulate not only Ream Madrid but other teams who have also have had the same vision, this  is called investing in short and long-term development.

Hopefully South Africa can return to what it was doing in the 1999 where the teams invested in these young players. South Africa has talent ,the ability and the speed that is why I will always continue in the development of players from an early age and it is important to value and believe in them logically the part of the discipline of  life they lead must change with the support of the family since once they start earning money their life changes some for the better, others for the worse and they only have short years in football.

We will continue talking about what soccer is in general
