The Brazilian Way - the differences in the development approach

Carlos Alberto, captain of Brazil's world cup team of 1970, recently gave his thoughts on the different development paths of young English players and those from Brazil. The recent friendly between Brazil and England provided Carlos with a great opportunity to contrast the footballing style and philosophy of both nations. Most telling was the following quote by Carlos

"It all comes down to young players and how you develop them," he said. "Players must be able to control, pass and dribble, and these are problems that can't be remedied quickly. It needs a long-term plan and to develop such things at a very young age, something that England, as well as many other countries, lacks."
