Youth is always one of the most talked about topics in football, and a group of energetic young players often bring surprises. The German transfer market website also announced the 10 youngest teams in the five major leagues this season.
1. Stuttgart Bundesliga 33 players Average age 23.4 years
As the youngest team in the five major leagues, it has started with 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, and is currently in 12th place in the Bundesliga, with the most valuable team in the team is 23-year-old Congolese winger Mwenpa.
2. Spezia Serie A 31 players average age 23.4 years
39-year-old young coach Thiago Motta, with the lowest average age player, Spezia is unique in Serie A. But their current record is not ideal, only 1 win, 1 draw and 5 losses, ranking 18th in Serie A.
3. Rennes Ligue 1 28 players average age 23.8 years
Over the years, Rennes have relied on young players, not only to reach the Champions League for the first time in the history of the team, but also to make a profit through the sale of Camaringa, and now Doku and Sulaimana are on the rise. This season, the youth team has even beaten Paris Saint-Germain and is currently 11th in Ligue 1 with 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
4. Marseille Ligue 1 27 players with an average age of 24.1 years
Ligue 1 giants have also embarked on the road to youth, ranking 5th in the start of the season with 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and are still a strong contender for the Champions League.
5. Nice Ligue 1 26 players average age 24.1 years
This youth army is undoubtedly the best record on the list, ranking third in Ligue 1 in one less match. Last season's Ligue 1 champions Galti came to this team this season, which undoubtedly brought them a transformation.
6. Saint-Etienne Ligue 1 27 players with an average age of 24.2 years
Also the Ligue 1 Youth Army, the current situation of Saint-Etienne is somewhat different. The former Ligue 1 champions have not yet won a single victory this season, and the points are at the bottom.
7. Reims Ligue 1 25 players average age 24.3 years
Another Ligue 1 team, these years of Ligue 1 is undoubtedly a paradise for young players, Reims also with this trend to achieve 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, ranking 14th in Ligue 1.
8.RB Leipzig Bundesliga 28 players average age 24.4 years
This Bundesliga team is undoubtedly one of the teams that have achieved results and profits in recent years, selling a number of important players this summer, but there are still high-value young people such as Olmo and Nkunku. Currently ranked 8th in the Bundesliga, just five points away from the Champions League zone.
9. Brentford Premier League 31 players average age 24.5 years
As a Premier League promotion horse and the youngest Premier League team, Brentford beat Arsenal on his debut and later drew with Liverpool. He currently has 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, ranking 7th in the Premier League.
10. Fürth Bundesliga 31 players average age 24.5 years
Felt is currently at the bottom of the Bundesliga, and they have proved that it is not enough to look at age alone, but to choose young talents with potential, and now the most expensive Inten in their team is only 3.5 million euros.
After the german transfer announced the list, some foreign fans jokingly said: "If I play FIFA, I am more than 25 years old, I am a veteran", which tells the voice of many players.
But the reality is of course very different from the football game, Nice, Marseille, Brentford proved that relying on young people can certainly make a career, but Fürth and Saint-Etienne also proved that blindly pursuing age change does not help the team, and more importantly, it is more important to choose the most suitable players in the vast youth army.
