Scouting

When David Moyes returned to Everton last January, he walked into a building full of gloomy faces after a turbulent period that threatened to plunge the club into the abyss.

Attaccante uruguaiano rapido, con il senso del goal, in Italia per tre anni, con la maglia del Cagliari dal 1995 al 1998. Dario Silva in un'intervista a La Gazzetta dello Sport è tornato sulla sua carriera e sull'incidente del 2006 che gli ha cambiato la vita: "Mi sono distratto per prendere una fetta di torta rimasta incastrata tra i pedali del mio pick-up e mi schiantai contro il guardrail. Mi amputarono parte della gamba destra, volevo morire". "LA SCIMMIETTA" DI CAGLIARI "A Cagliari per tutti ero “Sa Pibinca”. Quel nome me lo diede Massimiliano Medda, un comico cagliaritano. In sardo significa “scimmietta”: ero un attaccante sempre in movimento, mi appiccicavo agli avversari e davo fastidio. A volte ero ingestibile e, senza fare male, tiravo anche qualche calcetto ai difensori per stuzzicarli" DAL CAMERIERE ALLO SCOUT "Dopo il mio ritiro ho lavorato a Malaga in una pizzeria di un amico, facevo il cameriere. Aveva tanti coperti e serviva personale, così mi sono proposto per aiutarlo. Ora faccio lo scout per il Cadice. Giro i campi qui in Sudamerica e cerco di trovare i talenti da portare in Europa”. "HO RITROVATO LA FELICITA'" "Anche senza una gamba si può essere felici. Fortunatamente mi ero già ritirato dal calcio. Nel 2012 ho avuto l’opportunità di partecipare alle Paralimpiadi di Londra, nel canottaggio, ma per vari motivi non ci sono riuscito. Lo sport resta una parte fondamentale della mia vita: vado spesso in bicicletta e nel 2009 sono tornato in campo per una partita di beneficenza" MILAN, IL GRANDE RIMPIANTO “No, il rimpianto è non essere andato al Milan, la squadra che ho sempre tifato. Gullit e Van Basten sono stati i miei idoli”.

Matt Doyle and Tab Ramos break down Christian Pulisic and the importance of him returning to top form, including why building the USMNT attack around his skill set could unlock the team’s full potential. They explore how a core attacking group featuring Folarin Balogun, Weston McKennie, and Pulisic can transform the final third, and dive into the ongoing question surrounding Tim Weah, where is he most effective for the U.S.: as an attacker or in a deeper defensive role? The conversation then shifts to the global stage, as Tab and Tom rank their Top 5 dark horse contenders for the FIFA World Cup. Including why they both put the U.S. on the their lists. Plus, Tab offers a detailed look at how the U.S. approached scouting during the 2014 World Cup, revealing the level of preparation required to compete at the highest level.

The term can mean anything from what the LA Galaxy did with Gyasi Zardes to what they're trying to do with a young player like Alex Alcala. So what does it mean to an organization like the Galaxy? On today's special edition of Corner of the Galaxy, host Josh Guesman is joined by LA Galaxy General Manager Dennis te Kloese for over 60 minutes of youth development discussion. Josh and Dennis will cover topics that range from why scouting and development are different and what the goal for the club is when developing players. Why scouting is an essential part of the equation, and what it takes to make these ventures pay off? They'll also discuss how the landscape has shifted in MLS and why going to Europe to develop seems to be something of the past and not something of the future. What are the pitfalls of youth development for a young player, and why is it so important to have parental buy-in and parental education. And why the interests of the club can usually match the interests of the player. And Josh will even throw in some important questions at the end, just to make sure everyone makes it through the discussion. This is an unprecedented look into the theories and the thought processes behind the Galaxy's development system and what Dennis sees as the next steps for the program. It's also why he views it as unfinished business! A big thank you to Dennis for taking the time to talk to us about this subject. And yes, he is definitely messing with you on Instagram. Thanks for listening and Watching!
