1. To form players who are able to play First division and Champion’s League
(Europa League) at the age of 18-21 years.
2. To form players who are able to play professional soccer in Belgium or

1. When talents are detected at a young age and youth staff makes sure that
these talents get a highly professional training (technical, tactical, mental),
the Anderlecht first team can always rely on young professional players.
2. A constant representation of young players in the first team who were
formed at least several years by the RSCA youth formation.
“Turn your passion into
your profession!”
“RSC Anderlecht has to profile as a highly
quality youth academy in order to act as
an example for youth formation and to act
as a relay station between national clubs
and international top clubs”

Player
profile
Attacking, creative and dominant football based on ‘efficient’ ball possession
(70%)
Forward offensive ballcirculation with accurate and high speed diagonal
passing by forming triangulars
Nice build up from behind through fast recovery of goalkeeper (mostly
truewards full backs or central defenders)
Playing on the half of the opponent as much as possible with a mix of
medium press (if too dominant) and fast collective ball recovery.
High speed of execution and dictating / influencing the pace of the game
(faster – slower)
No tackling but focus on interception and anticipation
Never adapting to the strenght of the opponent
Players who dare to take initiative on every position
A fluent shift between defending and attacking and between attacking and
defending
Mutual coaching and skill of polyvalence
Always searching a ‘football solution’ : the way of playing exceeds the
importance of result
Freekicks and corners always kicked with QUALITY
“If your playing style is based on ball
possession you don’t need to defend
because there is only one ball”
Quote Johan CRUIJFF
U8-U9: 5 x 5
U10-U12: 8 x 8

U21 postformation
different tactical concepts
Longer periods of faster ball possession
Faster, various tempo, intelligent (decision making), technically skilled
Multifunctional and multitasking player (player can play more than 1 position:
Rooney – Messi – van Persie – Schweinsteiger – Iniesta – Hazard – Dembele - Witsel …)
Continual growth of acurate passing
78% of passes in Premier League < 20m
Lesser ball touches, more movement without ball, more runs at optimal speed
More and more athletic (quick, agile, powerfull, …)
Decisions to be made on smaller spaces
Longer periods of faster ball possession
More passing and receiving plays “over the ground”
Efficiency and creativity in 1<>1 plays
Awareness of creating time and space for yourself or the team
“Systems are dying, it’s about the
movement of 10 players now!”
Quote Slavan BILIC
Excellence in technical potential
Insight of the game – vista -
intelligence

movement and quick continuation of
the game
Bilateral passing (short – long),
shooting and dribbling (if possible)
Multipositional (before high peak
velocity – after HPV)
Creative and innovative with great
sense of decision making
Eager to learn and ambitious to
progress continualy

confidence - sense of responsability

“Look, analyse and focus
on the potential of a youth
player instead of his actual
performance”
Cueing:
to reach faster and more accurate passing via stronger visualization of the
passing and shooting structures
