Vanderpuye, who ascended the role from 2015 to 2017 laid down some key concerns in such an equitable manner that he thinks will contribute to the progress of the game domestically and during tournaments.
“All the [English] Premier [League] clubs have junior levels – U21, U19 – playing in a league. So the system is built in a way there will always be an infusion of new, younger faces into the national sphere," Vanderpuye told Joy Sports.
“What do we see here? We wait until we have a tournament; we invite somebody here, we call somebody from here, put them together and play. We can never achieve results when we continue to do that.
“It’s like we plan to fail. England used to have people like Calvert-Lewin, Foden and Greenwood, all these people were part of the team, but they’ve moved on. In the next four years, those playing in the U17 tournament will be there.”
