BTW this passage is a must read.
If you want to know why spain/germany are producing most talents it has a lot to do with this.....
Germans completely rehauled there youth systems, 10 years ago( maybe 7-8?) and you can see by influx of talent there. They also benefit from larger population/immigration but eitherway.
What are odds we can bring Sacchi back to milan as director/coach of youth department?
Kids make it thru sacchi, we'll definitely get some wonderkids like barca.
IT could be potentially best investment milan make into future. More than any transfer

What Sacchi found in Italy's youth teams disgusted him. "I see kids who are 14 or 15 years old who are already specialists. But football is not a sport of specialists," he says. "I was watching the under-15s the other day – 14-year-old boys – and the central defenders arrived and all they did was mark their man. They took themselves out of the game. This is suffering, this is not joy, this is not football. If someone does just one thing over and over, they will get better at that thing. But is football just one thing?"
But while he is anxious to change such a culture it will, by his own admission, take time. Sacchi's aim is to recreate a model for the national team along the lines of Barcelona, where every age group is taught using the same tactical approach and the same fundamental ideas about how the game should be played. "When I arrived every coach was just doing what he wanted," he says. "These kids were not getting continuity in their teaching."
