The model under which matches of youth teams will take place is being considered next day after the match of the main teams. This will give coaches the opportunity to include players who did not make the starting lineup, as well as those who are returning from injuries and need game practice.
Another key feature may be permission to participate in the match up to 5 players aged over 21 years. This rule will give clubs a tool to more evenly distribute the load and provide additional playing time for players who rarely get on the field in the first team.
Despite this, the idea of resuming the tournament is controversial. Some experts believe that at the age of 19-20, a player should already be formed and should compete at the level of adult football.
However, the physiological and psychological development of each player is different. Some football players are ready to perform at a high level at the age of 18-19, others need a few more seasons to adapt. In addition, the current situation, when a part of football players almost does not get game practice during the year, also does not contribute to their development.
At the same time, there are concerns about possible manipulations and increased risks on the part of bookmakers. This is a problem that youth leagues around the world often face.
