A computer game for children reveals secrets that the world's biggest football clubs are looking for answers to
In order to better identify tomorrow's football stars, international national and club teams test the brains of children up to the age of 12. Behind the idea is a Dutchman who has already seen startling results.

The man behind the game has visited talent academies in e.g. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, and here he made a surprising discovery.
