That is something we have to transform in academies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have to be doing those things at 12-13. We look at the safety pass too early. You need 10 outfield players comfortable in possession. We don\u2019t keep the ball as well as bigger countries like Spain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former West Ham player Brooking also pointed to the fact that young English footballers are taught to concentrate too much on winning than development.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;That is what you have to do much earlier in development, encourage kids to make mistakes in matches. It doesn\u2019t matter about losing five games in a row, just play that way.\u201d<br \/><span><span id=\"divAdnetKeyword\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><em>Our<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/GoalUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/93900\/93900.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"48\" height=\"11\" \/><\/em><\/a><\/span><em>\u00a0provides the best breaking news online and our\u00a0<\/em><span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GoalUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/93800\/93899.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"49\" height=\"10\" \/><\/em><\/a><\/span><em>\u00a0football fan community is unmatched worldwide.
