Don't trade in your Season Tickets just yet, the 2031-32 season is gonna be a cracker, bring it on!

He'll do well against Bromley in the National League by then! Of course still with ol' Brendan in charge - the LCFC equivalent of sir Alex Ferguson.

I don’t know if this has been shared on here already, but holy crap.. kids got skillllll. :O

Sorry hate to see this and am really surprised he has not been told not to do this or at least his parents have - usually made to sign a social media agreement - the boy is 10 and does him no favours at all!

 

Mind he is frigging gifted!!

Has he had the '3 touches' chat with Brendan yet?

Literally one of the things i hate the most about young talents transitioning from youth teams to mens football is that all the skill that is evident in clips like the above is coached out of the kids. 

 

The insistence on a maximum of 3 touches especially in attacking areas is mind boggling. 

It's why we end up with this boring sideways-backwards football waiting for the opposition to make a mistake so we can exploit it.

U11! Just for clarity. 

 

Skills... Great 👀 

 

Finding the balance between encouraging creativity, and being game effective is not an easy task for club staff.

 

Consider Ronaldo for example as a 17 year old was all tricks in his initial games for Man United, and this is a 11 year old child. That issue was still having to be addressed at Premier League level with a huge talent in CR7s case. 

 

In terms of game effectiveness, right now, there are other lads in the system, not updating their socials, but working on their game, that LCFC fans would be more excited about. 

 

At some point... A player needs to decide if they are a skills guy like the F2 lads who were on Sky, or they want to be a professional footballer, who has a value to a football club. 

 

When you are earning revenue from socials and have the opportunity to earn more at a young age it is very difficult to get the message across to parents and child. It is a frustrating experience, but if the message clicks you could have a player valuable to the club in a few years. Or you will earn your money now and be earning money by performing football tricks on the streets, or in a shopping centre??? 

 

Working with young footballers there are 0 guarantees that they will become X in the future. 

 

This child should be left to enjoy his football, and work on his game. 

 

Not just these socials for me, are a worrying trend for all football clubs, money is great, online adulation... Fine, but in 5 or 10 years if you don't take care of the fundamentals you may be asking why with all the apparent talent in the world, a player didn't achieve what some expected? 

 

Some children aren't interested in game effectiveness. They just like doing skills. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Spot on. He has trained and played with my son who is in the age above him. When he has done so he hasn't been effective and the boys have just been frustrated with him. Yes superb skills but he does not affect the game and just does skills at times he doesn't need to. If he was to focus on being effective Naz could be superb. 

My son's age group has a few players to be excited about in my opinion. Looking forward to watching them grow together.

Plays in my nephews team. He never stops doing tricks and never passes the ball. His dad spends the whole time barking instructions at the poor kid which are generally the opposite of what the coach is trying to tell him. He is unbelievably skillful but I wonder without the right guidance whether he'll make it.

Everything I hear about this player (I Coach at same Age Level) further reminds me just how abhorrent Junior Football can be especially Parent involvement. 

I thought parents weren’t allowed to shout from the  sidelines?  We were always told (from district to school) not to get involved. Surely it’s even more entrenched at academy level ???

There was a good series in the Autumn on channel 4 following the Crystal Palace academy behind the scenes, following the players through their Journey, also following their home life and with input and interviews with Zaha and some other players and the chairman. Well worth a watch....but you will see a theme throughout that some of the parents can be a major problem.
