📗 Tifo's new book, "How to Watch Football" is now available internationally: linktr.ee/tifobook
Real Madrid caused headlines around the globe when they confirmed the €60 million signing of Brazilian wonderkid, Endrick from Palmeiras. Endrick was only 16 years old at the time of the signing, but it follows a recent trend of Real Madrid signing stars early in their development. A break from the tradition of signing stars at the peak of the powers.
Jon Mackenzie explains how it is not saving Real Madrid much money, but overall it is a strategy that is beginning to bear fruits. Illustrated by Henry Cooke.

They are also selling players at a point before the value drops due to age (varane, Casemiro), whilst keeping ones that are performing into their late 30s (Modric, benzema, Kroos). Really putting Barca to shame with how well run they have been.

I’m a Bayern Fan & I have to say Real’s system, philosophy, La Fabrica, & spending is by far the best. Bayern were frugal for many years (they lacked squad depth & over relied on XI) City & Liverpool rely on their coaches in acquiring players, training talent etc. Abrahamovic’s Chelsea was a crazy horse with 3 headed transfer dragon (they bought, sold, & loaned everything under the sun) I think NewCastle will follow city’s lead & either Ten Hag, Arteta, or Baldiola will be their man @ helm after he wins UCL.

Feel that one of the core essences of this policy is that joining Real is an aspiration for many, it is the end goal. Therefore, this tactic has a unique advantage since these players are unlikely to leave. Compare that to Monaco - where many great youngsters who all left for bigger clubs (Mbappe, Fabinho, Bernardo Silva, etc) It's not really a model that can be copied because very few clubs have both the capital and allure to young footballers.

@madridismo77 Жыл бұрын

Another big part is that the transition of these players into the starting XI while the old guards are still going strong. Lots of things to learn for them... More than just the game, they learn the discipline, mental fortitude, the persona of the White jersey and playing for the club... Ancelotti stressed after the Champions League win last season that the players are also fans of the club. You can't buy something like this... You need to build faith, trust and develop this from a young age. Players who are willing to go to battle for the badge!

Messi is the best footballer of his generation by a mile, and any comparisons made between CR7 to him are greatly under-appreciating just how vasly superior Messi is. RM is the greatest club of all time and the FIFA award of greatest club of 20th century proves so.

Surprised the Tifo team didn't give Juni Calafat a mention. The chief scout along with his team really paved the way for scouting and eventually recruiting these youngsters. In contrast to the Mourinho years where you'd basically find the 'ideal galactico' lineup, Calafat with Perez's go-ahead changed the recruitment policy by signing players like the ones mentioned in the video + Militao. Now obviously he's not a miracle worker and ultimately depends on the players at the end of the day. But just goes to show how influential he's been in their recent UCL and league expeditions. Obviously the work is far from over for Juni but credit where its due for the Spaniard.

The real watershed or clutch moment by Flo Perez was letting Ronaldo go at the moment he did. Three things happened right there. 1. The seniors got shook up and started taking more responsibilities like Ramos, Benz. 2. The juniors got a very clear message that coming to Real Madrid was not the end but the beginning and they must focus only on football. 3. Perez by not going for a replacement for Ronaldo, implied he valued the remaining players as much. These are the reasons why Real Madrid won ligas and CL when they are really in a transition.

Best thing they have going for them is the respect that everyone has for them. A player knows damn well that if Real is interested in them is because they have potential and that Real won't tolerate anything less than excelence. If they give it their all, they'll earn max reward. I'm not sure if I explained it as well as I wanted but it's rare to see someone that is marketed as very talented arrive at Real and not succeed and prove the marketing right. The overall culture of Real Madrid brings that out of people. I think if Neymar had gone to Real instead of Barça, Neymar would've been a much greater player

Sacoto98 Neymar was perfectly fine at Barcelona. He was thriving actually. And I say that as a Madrid fan. It was also the smart move for him because he plays better on the left side and at the time Ronaldo was on the left. But at Barca Messi was on the right so he could take his preferred left side role. His move to PSG was the bad move. Not that he isn't good there but to me he has nevef been better than when he was at Barcelona and he was still getting even better. His pride and ego made him make the mistake of leaving Barca and one day he will confess his mistake maybe when he is long retired.

Theo, ceballos, reinier, Vinicius, rodrygo, odegaard, etc… some of them were since sold because they failed to live up to expectations and some were sold to make funds for the impending signing of Mbappe which didn’t happen.. I am guessing real will have money to bring in at least one more of these promising youngsters in huge fees… given the amount that was saved for mbappe…

This is why Real Madrid won 14 UCL yes maybe in the past they are stacking themselves with superstars hence established the infamous Galacticos era. But when the FFP is implemented they quickly adapted and abandoned their galacticos transfer policy in favor of pursuing prospective youngsters and veteran. They even let some of their core players go to make sure they can have prosperous end of their career (e.g. Ronaldo, Ramos, Casemiro, Varane etc.). Unfortunately this is not the case for the rest of the world, the effects of Premier League led transfer policy can be felt throughout the world and somehow resulted in inflated transfer price, multi club ownerships, state owned clubs, leveraged transfers, as well as the creation of 'loan army'. Regardless whether these approaches successful or not we already know that Madrid has learned its lesson while others are striving to have its own 'Galacticos'.

In general, youth policy is good. Programs designed to develop their talents from their childhood have a positive impact on them. In this respect, I found the concept of NYXS, a new sporting platform, very successful. Fans can also now contribute to the development process of young people. The discovery of their talents no longer has to be all about luck.

Their Transfer policy is to just be the biggest pull to Spanish or Latin/brazillian/portuguese heritage players, in more recent times French as well because of e.g. Zidane. As the biggest and most supported club amongst that high talent demographic and so they can easily get the most talented players from those backgrounds to the club. They still spend huge money by the way, especially for the money their league brings in as a whole they are head and shoulders in front for spending but that is also because they generate so much more revenue than any other team in their league. Because of the size and siccess of the club, in a similar way to Bayern do it specifically to the bundesliga they can also just get the best free agents going from most leagues. Personally dont think their policy would be transferable anywhere else

One thing I find interesting is how buying players young varies by position. Attackers seem to be the ones most of all you can spot early at 15 or 16 years old as having a good chance of being special. Rodrygo, Vini, Endrick, even Neymar all identified and becoming global names at this early age. Take a step back to midfield and that age seems to go up to more like 17 to 19 years old at being the earliest age where you can reliably pick out a future midfield star In defense it feels like it goes up a bit again with ages 19 to 22 being when you can really pick out the future defensive stars. Trying to predict the potential of defenders when they are very young seems much more difficult. Seems similar with Goalkeepers.

I hope that whoever succeeds ancelotti (hopefully raul) sees this and moves rodrygo either to his preferred left side or into the middle of the pitch where his intelligence is so valuable. he is a little wasted on the right side of the pitch.

Bale was a left winger for years at Tottenham but when he went to Madrid, Ronaldo was on the left so he had to adapt to playing on the Right. Di Maria too. Had to adapt to playing on the right initially, and then when Bale came, he had to adapt to playing on the left side of a midfield three and sometimes as a wide midfielder in a 4-4-2 formation. He will never take the left side coz Vini has made it his own. No excuses. You're a pro footballer. Learn and adapt.

Real are kinda fortunate that ex Madrid players have a premium. If odegaard had signed and made his debut for Liverpool at 15, flopped and had loans in 3 different countries, there’s no way he’d be getting sold for 9 times the fee they signed him for. If a young player doesn’t make it there, other clubs will always be willing to take chances on them and give them good value.

Odegaard has steadily progressed. His seasons in the Netherlands were good, his season at Sociedad was fantastic. He was a top 5 midfielder in LaLiga that year and a Team of the season player in Eredivisie the year prior (the only non-PSV and non-Ajax player btw who were the two dominant forces that season). His transfer fee wasn't that high because of some "premium", it was that high because Arsenal knew they were getting a gem that was good enough to start for Madrid if it wasn't for Modric, Kroos and Valverde

I had huge respect for Real Madrid (mostly Perez) when they let go of Ronaldo (when he left for Juve). Ronaldo wanted to stay but started to feel unimportant to the Real president so he requested to leave. Real sold Ronaldo for 112m to Juventus after buying him NINE YEARS AGO for 80m from Man U. They cashed in HEAVY on his image, won countless trophies and made huge sums of money during those years and STILL sold him at a profit when he was THIRTY THREE YEARS OLD. After Ronaldo left, EVERYBODY was Shitting on Real and claiming their reign was over. They went on to win La Liga TWICE and add ANOTHER Champions League trophy and Benzema won Balon D'Or. What Real Madrid said here is what they've been saying throughout their entire existence. NO PLAYER, NO MATTER HOW GREAT, IS BIGGER THAN THE CLUB. Something so many clubs can learn from and why Real was so dominant for so many years in ALL aspects of football including the Sport side and Business side. As a Barcelona fan, I always admired this about Real and it's what makes them so powerful and desired. Even with ALL the money PSG and Man City throws at players, players STILL dream to go to Real Madrid because the chances of glory are amplified. A true Legacy club with pure club values.

I do appreciate their approach to youth players. Real Madrid's position is quite unique, as they are the clear end goal for any footballer, their location, weather condition and to a lesser extent the culture are more appealing to South American players and they kept a healthy age structure in the squad for many years now, keeping everyone alerted and fresh. However, in this context I do not understand transfers like Hazard for 115, Odriozola for 32, Reinier for 30 or Luka Jovic for 63 million, respectively. They were obviously overpaying for those. In know, in hindsight it is easy to judge, but each of these cases was in at least one aspect a deviation from their general transfer policy, be it in terms of age, resell value or overall quality potential. So while I think a good amount of their success is due to the transfer policy, I could imagine that the team would be even more impressive with the addition of 2 to 5 more promisingly talented players that could have originated in investing available spending capacity more coherent to their general guidelines.
