Of the ‘FC Salzburg‘is considered one of the best player educators in Europe. However, his own team is made up more than purchased players, as an analysis of playing times over the years since the 2016/17 Youth League victory shows. The starting point of the investigation is the start of the league last Saturday. During the away game in Wolfsberg was one of the eleven kickers exile Berisha that is, only one person who truly deserves the title of “trained at Red Bull Salzburg”.
What happened to the Youth League winners?
Let’s look back a bit: the 2016/17 Youth League victory with Marco Rose was already long enough to assess the progress of the young bulls back then. In action for three years as on Saturday: exile Berisha. Bartłomiej Żynel – Gideon Mensah, Igor Julio dos Santos de Paulo, Luca Meisl, Sandro Ingolitsch – Philipp Sturm (68 ° Alexander Schmidt), Nico Gorzel, Amadou Haidara – Nicolas Meister (55 ° Patson Daka), Hannes Wolf (90 ° + 6 °) ‘Bojan Lugonja) and Berisha. That was the starting eleven of the Youth League final in Nyon in the summer of 2017, when the coach of Framework rose he coached the steers for the Youth Champions League title.
Berisha is still there Patson Daka probably not too much Hannes Wolf handled like Amadou Haidara the jump to Germany. Wolf made it to the U16 bulls, Berisha already played there when he was young. The others have left the champion series. Not a big deal, you might think. If four young players a year later take the lead, then it’s a good cut. Also that there were two of his own offspring.
Last but not least, this success brought Salzburg to fame as a great training center far beyond national borders. As a team analysis from 2016/17 shows, Red Bull Salzburg is more of a good place to shop. In the starting eleven against WAC, Jesse Marsch’s first this Bundesliga season, there was not a single player to play in Salzburg since the U16s. Only Wound Sucic, later replaced, corresponds to this scheme. Austrians Cican Stankovic, Maximilian Wöber and Andreas Ulmer By the way, they were trained elsewhere.

A hiatus for years
If you look at the playing times of the players and draw a line of 1000 minutes of play per season, you can see that there have been few players directly from their own offspring in recent years. In 2016/17, 20 players played more than 1000 minutes in all competitions. From the U16 were Valentino Lazarus, Konrad Laimer, Xaver Bat and Martin Hinteregger in this group. Stefan Lainer He passed the offspring in Salzburg, but made the breakthrough in SV Ried. In 2017/18 there was the same picture, without Laimer and Hinteregger, but with Hannes Wolf. So it was in 2018/19. Last season, no Salzburg player fulfilled the requirement “from the U16 to the combat team”.
Anyone scrolling through the long list of Liefering outings (regardless of when the players came) from 2016/17 will find some interesting names in addition to the already mentioned and expensive sales like Diade Samassékou, such as Alexander Bat, Lukas Come, Samuel Tetteh, Philipp Wiesinger, Mathias Honsak or Sandro Ingolitsch. But best of all, none of them made it to Red Bull Salzburg. The expensive sales of the last few years happened more like young people than real young people. Except for those already mentioned above, the millions went to Keita, Bernado, Upamecano, Wanderson, Caleta-Car, Valon Berisha, Caleta-Car, Dabbur, Samassékou and, of course, Haaland, Minamino and Hwang, but not for the players who the cops in Se had trained “little ones” on themselves.
Enter a professional business, but the newcomer looks different
From this it can be concluded: Salzburg train players from youth, but not really for themselves, but for many other clubs. Big breakthroughs are more likely to come from those kickers who enter around their 18th birthday. Will that change this season? Next to Mërgim Berisha there is a right back to love Dedic, midfielders Nicholas Seiwald and Luka Sučić and young forward ÖFB Chukwubuike Adamu in the team. This season will show if they will match the predicted “regular players of their own descent”.
So the bottom line is: Red Bull Salzburg has established itself internationally, made a name for itself by bringing out young players. However, they tend not to come from their own offspring. Much more, the club obviously has very good scouting skills for young players, who can be offered a perfect platform for an international career in Salzburg.
