Foreword Dr Reinhard Rauball 1 Dear Readers It was a few months ago that the German national team, with its fresh, attacking and technically brilliant style of play thrilled football fans around the globe at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. A young German team with an average age under 25, consisting exclusively of players from the Bundesliga, took the world by surprise under the guidance of national coach Joachim Löw, with beauti ful and highly successful attacking football – and sent fans and pundits into raptures. Most lately this superior performance by our national team has shown that the measures decided upon by the League Association and the 36 professional clubs in Germany ten years ago were correct. For all clubs, the compulsory intro duction of academies for young players in 2001 was the building block which laid the way to a successful future for German football. Today, ten years later, we can enjoy the fruits of the labour of those academies. And, of this I feel sure, there will be plenty more success to come. Europe. The times in which we had to look appreciatively to France, Spain or the Netherlands have passed. The provisos laid down in the licensing from the sporting, medical and pedagogical fields, combined with a unique philosophy for every academy, guarantee an integral education of young players – and ensure that these youngsters also have a future outside of football. We can therefore thank those clubs, not only that they have laid the infrastructural foundations but also because they emphasise the seriousness of player education by the selection of qualified management staff. The German Football Association (DFB) should also be thanked for its helpful co-operation in this area. In particular, the DFB is performing outstanding work with its centres concept and have in Matthias Sammer a proven expert in the field of working with young players. There have seldom been so many technically and tactically gifted talents playing in the Bundesliga. Bastian Schwein steiger, Philipp Lahm and Manuel Neuer already belong in the category of world-class players. Young players such as Thomas Müller, Mario Götze, André Schürrle or the Bender twins, Sven and Lars, to name but a few from the Bundesliga, have the potential to reach a similar level. Not to mention Mesut Özil and Sami Khedira, currently causing a sensation in Madrid. The German youth policy is internationally recognised as the model to be aspired to, and has even been most recently cited by UEFA as the best in Dr Reinhard Rauball President of the League Association “The German youth concept has become internationally recognised as the template to be emulated.”
