SPAL, Dossena: “If all Serie A and B clubs had U23 teams, Serie C would disappear”

After the success against Carpi, today the team returns to the field SPAL for the match of the 6th day of Group B of Serie C, which will pit the Estensi against Milan Futurothe third U23 team included in the third division championship. Precisely on this topic – the one relating to the so-called B Teams – the shoulder strap technician Andrea Dossenawho spoke at a press conference yesterday.

“What do I think about the U23 teams? – we read on the club’s official channels -. The discussion is very broad and deserves to be explored in depth. I can say that if all the Serie A and B teams made U23 teams, Serie C would disappear. Personally I would remove all the regulations to protect young people, I’ll give you one example: we have Rao, he’s a strong player and he plays regardless of age, because he deserves it, not because we help him. We don’t have to bring everyone to play football, on the contrary we have to bring the best to a high level. With our system we have more young people, but probably with less quality. The strong young player has a more expensive market, if we look at the Premier League after 25 years they don’t buy anyone anymore”.

Then on the match: “The boys are fine, I think I’ll make some changes because I have an important squad with players who are raring to play from the first minute and having three games in seven days is an aspect that I have to take into account. Having said that, playing straight away must not be an excuse, each team will have to overcome this problem in the best possible way. We saw the Milan Futuro matches, the standings don’t do them justice because it’s true that they only have two points, but also that against Rimini they had four clear goal opportunities and I’m convinced that when they turn the corner they will hurt everyone. They are young boys who will probably have to make a leap in terms of mentality, but the quality of their squad is high”.
