Making of a football club

I am a huge soccer fan. The good thing about soccer is that its not time consuming and is entertaining to the viewers. 90 minutes of excitement and fun. This game needs immense energy and skill. But there are millions of people who follow this game closely. India has been one nation which is far behind the world when it comes to soccer. The advantage about this game is that we dont lose precious time watching this game as much we take for watching cricket. To play cricket we don't require much fitness. Ramesh powar a 100 kg guy who played for india once is proof enough that fitness is only a myth. Recently our cricket coach gary kirsten has said that more than 9 out of 15 players are unfit to play. while in football you cant give reasons for that.

we all may be knowing about the various clubs which play football. English premier league is one of the top most league in the football. spanish , italian and german leagues are not far behind. These huge clubs are owned by billionaires and tycoons who can provide with great funds for buying star players. I am taking the case of chelsea, real madrid and manchester city who splash cash to buy star players. One thing that is lacking at these clubs is a good academy which can develop young starlets for the future. These clubs spend billions of dollars in buying players season after season that even the neutrals get the feeling that clubs have the possibility of winning trophies spending huge amount of money. Chelsea have proved that such things can happen. As a result young players are denied opportunities to develop at a top club and mature as being excellent players which is a bane for a country like england. They have not won a major competition in international competitions in years. Its a pity that a country with one of the best footballing leagues cannot produce trophies at international level and the failure is often attributed to the coach and ageing players.

But in a club like manchester united players are groomed to become future stars. legends like ryan giggs, paul scholes, rooney, xavi, fabregas, messi all have come through their respective academies. they were developed to become bigger and better players. Thats what these big clubs can do good clubs make their future others mar them. last season real madrid spent a whopping 200 million pounds to strengthen the squad which involved te arrival of kaka, ronaldo , alonso, benzema but they failed to win the league and another trophy less season followed. That is the proof of ' money cannot guarantee success'. chelsea might have won trophy last season but they huffed and puffed to beat manchester united by a mere 1 point. But it won't be historical club because 'money may buy success temporarily but cannot buy history' howzzaat!
