Some of the blame also falls at the feet of team owners and managers. Ultimately, a team isn’t forced by FIFA or UEFA to always start their best 11. But when you want to win every game, you will always put out the team that you feel gives you the best chance of winning every competition you compete in.
Managers could just play youth players in the cups, get knocked out early and then not have to worry about it. But they want to win, the fan’s want to win, and the teams want to make money.
At International level, UEFA now makes sure that teams have to field the best XI every time because Euro seeding will based on best qualification performance.
At club level, you can’t be serious blaming the managers. Of course they will always do their best to try and win, thats their fk job. Also using Young players as match filter and get L every time they play is the worst Youth development method
