The Portuguese coach Manuel Cardoso develops visions for players of the National Football League (LNF), born from 2004 onwards, of which the most prominent will travel to the Portuguese country to train at the Bsports High Performance Center.
The activity, which will take place in two daily shifts from today until next Saturday, takes place at the Nuevo Cuscatlán Municipal Stadium.
“It is a great pleasure to be here, because it seems to me that El Salvador has many young talents and I hope to find them,” said Cardoso, general director of the High Performance Center.
As he explained, this is his first time in El Salvador, but Bsports is represented in 32 countries, where he is in charge of recruiting talent to incorporate them into professional teams from fourth to first category.
“Today and tomorrow there will be two games and on Saturday one, with the boys, to select those who will go to Portugal for 11 months,” said Cardoso.
In the visories, in which 43 young people participate, there is also the support of the LNF coaches promoted by the National Sports Institute of El Salvador (INDES), Santos Rivera, Lázaro Gutiérrez, Carlos Joya, Henry Pérez and Manuel Leiva, as well as the referee Vladimir Fernández and the presence of Wilfredo Carranza, international director of the Bsports High Performance Center.
“We are with our general director, who is also scouting and an international coach, and we come because of an invitation from INDES and an agreement we have with the International Soccer School,” said Carranza.
The international director, of Salvadoran origin, highlighted the work of the LNF and the fruits it yields despite the short time it has been in operation.
“We have found in INDES, through the lawyer Yamil Bukele, a league created barely a year ago, but which is already bearing great fruit. We know that locally here in El Salvador there are already young people who are leaving for the First Division, and that It is something fabulous, something very interesting and important for Salvadoran soccer”, he commented.
Carranza clarified that they were motivated by the work carried out in the LNF and they chose to join to open up new opportunities.
“As the Bsports High Performance Center, in Portugal, we want to contribute something to this great project for young people who need sports opportunities, so the way in which we have come to work and look for this talent is for our scouting Manuel Cardoso to see these young people on the field of play, both individually and collectively”, he explained.
The traveling players will have time to adapt both academically, language and nutrition, among other aspects, since they will receive comprehensive training.
“When we get there, after a brief adaptation, we are going to evaluate both their individual and collective talent capacities to be able to take us to the clubs,” said Carranza.
