Why Men's And Women's Clubs Invest In Young Players Yet Fail To Provide Opportunities.

Modern football adores the sight of a teenage prodigy lighting up the pitch – the audience cheers, analysts rave, and the club's social media team rapidly shares the moment.  However, for every prominent success story like Jude Bellingham, Gavi, or Lauren James, dozens of young players silently fade away, despite years of commitment and potential.  The paradox is striking: clubs invest millions in youth development and academies, but very few of those groomed prospects obtain continuous first-team opportunity. This issue transcends geography, gender, and competition level. Both men’s and women’s football systems face similar challenges — albeit under very different structural and financial realities. The question is no longer whether clubs support youth football; they do. The real puzzle is why clubs build such vast youth structures, yet hesitate to trust their graduates. The Global Obsession with Youth Development Football’s ecosystem has grown into a machine of long-term pla...

A young Real Madrid player is expected to play a bigger part in future games.


Following Real Madrid's devastating 2–5 loss to FC Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, Carlo Ancelotti has been the target of a lot of criticism.

The Real Madrid manager's choice to start Aurelien Tchouameni at center back instead of Raul Asencio is one of the main criticisms leveled at him.

The Frenchman has had some success at center back, but Sunday's match ended badly as the Barça onslaught completely destroyed the player.

Raul Asencio will become more well-known.


Raul Asencio is expected to play a larger role in the starting lineup in the upcoming games, according to Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, despite the mounting worries about Real Madrid's defensive shortcomings.

Every time manager Ancelotti has given the 21-year-old La Fabrica graduate a chance, he has performed admirably.

However, club sources maintain that it was always going to be tough for him to start against Barcelona last Saturday because Los Blancos had maintained a clean sheet against RCD Mallorca in the semi-final.

However, after the final disaster against Barcelona, a change is now considered necessary, and Asencio will be given a bigger position in the team as a reward for his performance.

Real Madrid has no intention of acquiring a new center-back this month, and Ancelotti must begin to have greater faith in the 21-year-old young player given Antonio Rudiger's knee issues.

The defending Spanish and European champions will also benefit from David Alaba's impending return, as the Austrian is anticipated to be reincorporated into the match dynamics starting this week.

Barcelona dealt enormous injury blow ahead of Inter and Real Madrid clashes.

In a heartbreaking evening, Barcelona came back from two goals down against Inter in the Champions League semi-final first leg. The Blaugrana will believe they should have won the game after losing twice from set pieces. Now they're calculating the expense. After only 42 minutes, French defender Jules Kounde collapsed on the pitch, clutching the back of his calf. He had to be replaced by Eric Garcia, who performed admirably as a right-back out of position. Kounde's injury has raised concerns ahead of a number of critical games. Kounde will be tested on Thursday, but it appears that he has a muscle problem, most likely more serious than a grade tear. According to Sport, Kounde will miss their La Liga match against Real Valladolid, their Champions League return leg in Milan against Inter, and their decisive Clasico against Real Madrid the following weekend. Kounde was seen limping as he exited the stadium, telling the cameras, 'We'll see tomorrow'.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears. In April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with a hand on his chest, and Piermario Morosini died after heart arrest during a Serie B match 12 years ago. Inter and Fiorentina are both near the ...
