Episode #015: What Venezuela can learn from the English Academy System, with two-time author Ryan Baldi
Episode 16, Jul 14, 2021, 11:29 AM
Episode #015: We speak to author Ryan Baldi about his new book 'The Dream Factory - Inside the Make-Or-Break World of Football's Academies' and what lessons can be learned in Venezuela.
Including:
- The relationship between grassroot and professional clubs
- Why the focus shifted from winning to developing
- And the post-Brexit transfer market
Venezuela and England met in the final of the U20 World Cup in 2017 with the Three Lions winning 1-0. Just one player from that England team reached the final of Euro 2020 whilst eight from Venezuela's participated in the 2021 Copa America (both held in June and July 2021). We discuss what can be read into that and whether English football could benefit from implementing some of Venezuelan football's rules and vice versa.
