This issue is quite tangible in football, how much fielding young people can increase hope and motivation for success in national teams.
Although some coaches working in the Premier League emphasize the use of young people and their belief in using them, in practice, few of them have been willing to give the field to players under 20 years of age to increase hopes for the future.
Being result-oriented is one of the reasons for not using young people
Many coaches in football, due to the result-oriented nature of most managers, are less inclined to youth in their team. This negative approach can be seen in the national football team, and although most of the current players in the national team are over 30 years old, the current head coach of our country’s football, Amir Qala Nooyi, does not believe in using young people, and rarely a number of young players. invites to the national team camps and most of the time these players will not have a place in the team composition.
In the Premier League teams, some clubs, including Pikan and Shams Azar, have given more value to young players than other teams. Looking at the list of players of these two teams, we find that the average age of Pikan is 24.3 and Shams Azar is 25.5.

Morais’ special look at Sepahan’s young players
Among the teams contending for the championship, Sepahan under the leadership of Jose Morais has performed better in using young people and the average age of this team in the 23rd season is 26.3 years. One of the most important young players who was able to enter the national team under the guidance of Amir Ghale Nooyi with the trust of Morais is 20-year-old Mohammad Javad Hosseinnejad. With the high quality that he has shown, this player has become one of Sepahan’s regular players and has been able to be fruitful for his team in most of the matches.
In the match against Persepolis, with a mistake he took from the players of this team, he became the basis for his team’s winning goal, so that the officials of Al-Sad Club of Qatar are looking to recruit him after Amin Hezbawi, who is on the list of Amir in most of the national team’s games. Qale Novi is on the line, to recruit the second young Iranian player.
Morais also has a special look at Sepahan’s youth team and in recent weeks, he has called 4 Sepahan youth players, Abolfazl Tighnoord, Seyed Mehdi Hosseini, Mohammad Akbari and Abbas Habibi, to the training of the seniors of this team so that he can make them into quality players like Hosseinnejad.

At 21 years old, Milad Sorgi is one of the young players who has been trusted by Gol Mohammadi and has played as a substitute in most of Persepolis’ recent games and has been able to perform well.
Esteghlal Tehran does not have a good approach in this field, and Javad Nekonam, the head coach of this team, prefers to use experienced players instead of young ones. Nekonam has not invited even the players of the basic teams to participate in the training of adults, which is considered a negative point in the career of this young and promising coach.
Khuzestan Football Club, which was considered one of the player-producing teams in the past, although it has teams in most age groups, but Alireza Mansourian and Ignacio Martinez, the head coaches of Football Club, have not paid attention to young players this season. The average age of the players in this team is 28.7 years, which is not a good statistic for a club that has many basic teams.
