Interesting bit here. I remember when Mazzarri became our coach, he pointed out that he'd requested the youth team to be coached in the same formation as the first team (his fucking 352) as they had not been doing anything like that. Despite the fact he is one of my most hated managers over the years, the cunt was right about one thing at least.
That said, I haven't seen Spalletti say anything about this, in public at least, but to my knowledge Vecchi's side did also play a 4231 like the first team. Whether that was planned/instructed between Spalletti and Vecchi I don't know, but Vecchi's replacement (Madonna?) should hopefully follow suit.
Youth team players don't usually make it, because most of them don't get on PEDs,which is a must of you want to play in a big club.
So all this youth talk is bullshit.
Youth teams is not where you invest your money in modern football.
Just buy known stars who are by definition on PEDs and you'll generate a shitload of money and trophies.
