“We will be trying to target from under ten. We’ve already started it on the small level but we want to make it national. Whereas we have to start from that age range and build them up to reach the senior team, but look at the reality of it: if you have a child right now who’s under ten and we’re developing the child from then, at what age will that child be playing at the senior national team? Probably when he or she reaches eighteen, nineteen, twenty. That’s an eight to ten-year development plan that we have to put in place.”
