Frustration Over Underutilization of Youth Talent in Football Academies

Christopher expresses his frustration with the lack of utilization of talented players from football academies and the preference for signing players from abroad. He believes that club management should require coaches to give opportunities to young players, both for their development and for the potential future sale of those players. Furthermore, he criticizes the practice of loaning out players under the guise of 'development' while simultaneously acquiring players of lower quality from overseas.
