well... my scout 26 years old (he is with me 4 season already) still close to gaining his 8 stars this season,
i think with the new training system... it is not possible to train a 26 year guys...just need to put him on the every game and train regularly (and my 26 scout AMR still the sword of my team... he just get MOM in CL final...(even i didn't watch the game... and he is already to top scorer in these 4 season (of course, he has free kick skills) LOL )
