Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino likes the idea of the traditional British football apprenticeship.
Pochettino feels it develops humility in young players.
He told El Pais: "Maybe 20 years ago there was a lot of fear of the veteran coach and the club which gave them power. The young suffered in the hierarchy.
"Now everything is more humanized. But it's nice that the traditions are maintained; I loved watching the U21 players (at Southampton) cleaning the boots of (Luke) Shaw or (Adam) Lallana after training with them. These things make a player. It is humility, respect, ambition that one day someone will clean my boots. That does not happen anywhere else.
"In Spain, for example, you tell that to a 17 year old boy and he says, 'Me? If I am a professional, I get paid by different sponsors and have an agent'."
