"The solution for Brazilian clubs is in the pipeline", says Marcelo Teixeira

Santos is recognized worldwide as one of the biggest "talent factories" in football, having revealed great idols from the Pelé era to stars who have marked the recent history of sport and world football, such as Neymar, Rodrygo and Gabriel Barbosa.

The club has more than a hundred Meninos da Vila used in the main team in the 21st century alone and for the president of Santos, Marcelo Teixeira, this is the way.

To CNN Esportes S/A this Sunday (7), the representative of the black and white beach club stated that the solution for Brazilian clubs is to train talent in the youth category.

The solution for clubs in Brazil is to reveal talent.

Marcelo Teixeira cited Santos' 3-1 victory against Vitória in the last round of the Brazilian Championship before the break for the World Cup, when Peixe used more than 60% of the team with players from the youth categories, including starters and reserves.

In the last game we had 62% of base athletes who were either playing in the starting team or as options on the bench. So, this is the working demonstration. We have to be careful when launching these boys and girls, as we do work in women's football. You have to have the daring and courage to do this job.
