Germany’s Search for Football Talent: Challenges and Criticisms of Youth Football Reforms

Germany looking for football talent.

DFB Vice President Hans-Jochaim Watzke (64/Dortmund) speaks out against the association’s children’s football reforms. Frankfurt’s board member Markus Krösche (42) has admitted that the Bundesliga clubs are also to blame for incorrect training.

“Absurd!” “Honebüchen!” “Foreign shameful!” Strong criticism of new DFB documentary!

At Eintracht, Alexander Richter (53), as head of the youth training center (NLZ), controls training from the U9 to the U21. He thinks differently about many things…

… as Watzke, who thinks football without defeats is nonsense. Judge: “I see it differently. The only thing that will be abolished is relegation. You can become German champion. There are A and B leagues. There are still tables – just no relegation. I don’t see that there’s no competition at all.”

… as a player agent. Judge: “Many people have to rethink this. Whenever one of their players sits on the bench, some people immediately call and say that they are looking for another club. This means: Fighting against resistance – having to fight your way back into the starting line-up or squad – is completely taken away from the 15 and 16-year-olds by such advisors.”

… as parents who overwhelm their children. Eintracht therefore also looks after parents. And Richter has also had to throw out talent: “Yes, unfortunately, in the past in Bochum. For example, for the behavior of parents who hit another parent. But, thank God, something like this is rare. “But we are also doing more and more so-called ‘parent management’ at different levels so that something like this doesn’t happen in the first place.”

… as Eintracht board member Krösche, who doesn’t want to go to the 3rd league with the U21. Richter commented: “In the second year after the reintroduction of the U21s, this is certainly not an issue for us – and basically also a budget question, because operating in the 3rd league is very, very expensive. I see a promotion to the 3rd league as a positive prospect and occasionally discuss it with Markus Krösche and Timmo Hardung. But that is not planned for the next two or three years and is not an issue for now.”

Exciting: After being promoted in the first year, the U21s are already playing at the top of the regional league again…
