DBasia.news – Chelsea is sanctioned by FIFA in the form of a ban on the transfer of new players in the two transfer periods for recruiting underage players.
Many people who later did not consider Chelsea as a serious challenger or superior this season, especially the players in the team are now dominated by young players, not to mention Frank Lampard who is considered to have minimal experience in the coaching world.
But apparently, the opposite happened, despite having swallowed two defeats. The Blues can perform well. So far there have been three academy players who managed to secure a place in the starting XI, including Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori, and Mason Mount. The last name was even successful in getting a call to defend England’s senior national team in Euro qualifications, early September ago.
Seeing the success of Chelsea, now according to the Daily Mail report, Manchester City academy staff secretly hope that his club is also affected by a transfer embargo sanction, with the aim that the club realizes that the young talents of The Citizens are no less good than the players they bring.
As is known, City is known as a club that often does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to bring in new players, even in the summer of 2019, they also made Rodri as the most expensive purchase in the club’s history.
It would not be surprising if the academy coaching staff were so eager that their young players could also be promoted to the main squad, so far only Phil Foden was included in the Pep Guardiola squad, but the 19-year-old player started the game more from the bench.
As additional information, City is considered to have committed violations related to the purchase of minors, but FIFA imposed a lighter sentence of only a fine of 315 thousand pounds.
Manchester City football academy is indeed regarded as one of the best academies in England, before Foden, they also gave birth to talented players who are now shining with other clubs, call it Jadon Sancho.
