The UYL is a competition that allows you to see for the first time players that you din't realized they exist because they are still in a really young age. Sometimes when you check the line ups you notice familiar surnames. This is because the sons of some ex footballers are following the path of their parents. Here is a list of some of the most outstanding surnames you can find this year:
- Justin Kluivert and Joe Van der Sar (Ajax): As their parents, Justin is forward and Joe is the goalkeeper of Ajax. Patrick Kluivert, his dad, was a really good "killer" playing for teams as F.C.Barcelona and Edwin Van der Sar has been on of the best goalkeepers in Manchester United history.
- Lorenzo di Livio and Alberto de Rossi (Roma): Lorenzo, the son Angelo di Livio a legend of a great team as Juventus, is a really talented "mediapunta". By his way Alberto is the coach of the team and son of the midfielder and actual captain of the Rome, Daniele de Rossi.
- Luca Zidane (Real Madrid) Is the son of one of the most talented players in the history of football. Zinedine Zidane played for teams as Juventus or Real Madrid and won the World Cup with France.

So always a family stories haha Do you think that this players who are a "big name" in the football world, are more training, or more better than another one?
ResponderEliminarI think some of them could be more trained because their parents with the sport background can and want to invest more into their children's trainings, etc. But of course there can always be some exceptions
EliminarWe could expect from their "genes" to have a special hability. The truth is we find lots of cases of sons of football players and some of them are because their skills but in some other cases are just there for the name of their parents. Not always is a good thing to have as faher an ex footlball star because shadow and comparisons might be too big for them.
EliminarYes ok Thank you very much :)
ResponderEliminarI think that yes, the sons of these players have an advantage but on the other side as Fernando mentioned the success of their fathers and the pressure to perform as well as them might be overbearing for many young players. Having a last name that is associated with one of the best football player in world has it certain advantages and disadvantages.
ResponderEliminarI think the son of the top players have more advantages than disadvantages in their careers. It might be easier for them to get in the top, while they’re not even that good as their father. The father has all the experience and can give this to his son. So it might be easier for him. On the other side there is more pressure as Tilla already said.
ResponderEliminarIt's hard to know if that player is really there because of who is their father or for their skills. Some sons of players are undervalued because the crowd is always thinking that they are there because of the family's influence. On the other hand, I totally agree Charlotte because they have two big advantages: their father's experience and get good recommendation of some clubs.
