Love it, explore past Europe

Love the podcast and the content, been listening for years and recommend the app to numerous clubs and players.

Would love to see Saul explore outside Europe’s academies, some great shows/examples could be.

Japan/South Korea: so many young players are coming from these countries. Academies that are sending players to Europe at going ages but started development in their home country.

USA: second youngest World Cup squad, all started at MLS Next/DA academies at some point before going to Europe. Clubs like FC Dallas have developed Westin McKennie (Juventus) Chris Richards (Crystal Palace) Ryan Reynolds (As Roma) Tanner Tessman (Venezia) Ricardo Pepe (Augsburg). New York Red Bull’s, Sporting KC, Philadelphia Union just as good: Tyler Adams (Leeds),Brendan Aaronson (Leeds), Paxton Aaronson (Frankfurt), Joe Scally (Borrussia Monchagladbach, Gianlucca Busio (Venezia), Taylor Booth (Bayern Munich)…. These are just a couple examples of the great job these academies are doing.

Africa: Countries like Ivory Coast, Senegal and Cameroon have been sending players to Europe for years. How are they developing them so young in their home country?

In conclusion would love to hear from other youth development leaders who are showing time and time again they are producing quality and raising the level of player in their country. Europe is taking notice clearly, let’s hear from them. Just a thought, Thank you.
