Is it time to talk about a NT/U21 strategy?
I'm thinking about long term planning regarding training for high potential players for the NT vs specialized lower potential specialists for U21.
Even an allstar could work just fine in a role such as that for U21. Meanwhile the high potential players could be trained in complimentary skills beside their main skills while young and become even better NT players in the end. This demands a lot of cooperation also from managers training players, and may be overly optimistic to achieve to full extent, but it is an intriguing thought.
What do the community think? And the NT/U21 coaches?
