This is the eternal question of the teams in recent years and now more this increment with Covid-19 and economic situation.
It's necessary to promove the bas soccer in the same way that teams like Fc Barcelona or Ajax fc have done in last years.
Both have a base football full of talent.
In Barcelona we can't forget the time of Pep Guardiola, where most was formed by the lower ranks of the team without paying other clubs for them (Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Messi, Busquets ...).
On the other hand, we must appreciate the great players who have left Ajax in recent years (De Light, De Jong, Van de Beek, Kluivert, David Neves ...) players who could be starters in any club.
Beyond these, there are many base teams in high-level international football, such as Real Madrid (Carvajal, Ramos, Morata) Manchester City, Manchester United, Lyon (Umtiti, Ben Arfa, Martial, Benzema). Psg, Dinamo Zagreb (Modric, Mandzukic, Kovacic) ...
I think that during these following years we will see how exponentially the number of players trained in grassroots football grows in the squads of clubs, who will not be able to afford to go out to the market to pay large amounts for more contrasted players.
