INSIDE HALE END | Episode 2 | Decision Time

If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at our world-famous academy, then Inside Hale End will offer unprecedented insight into the quest to develop future first-team stars.
Our new six-part documentary series - presented by adidas x Arsenal - follows the paths of our under-15 and under-16 squads last season, taking an in-depth glimpse into their lives and what it means to be an aspiring footballer.
For the first time, cameras were allowed on-site to follow academy manager Per Mertesacker, under-15s coach Adam Pilling and the under-16s' Adam Birchall as they help the next generation plot a course from Hale End to London Colney, thanks to their first professional contract.
The first three episodes are now available on Arsenal.com for our Members to watch, with the following three episodes will be released on Tuesday, September 12.
Presented by adidas x Arsenal

I need Alexei to make it just because of how much of a legend his dad is

[@garynico9872]

just like ramsdale's dad

[@andywilliams8540]

I means he’s Arsenal and Colombia U16 first choice keeper so he’s on the right track 😊

[@karimodang5660]

Alexei is a very lucky guy. Not only for getting the scholarship, but to make his dad proud and speechless

Not only luck Hard work Straight after school training gotta love it

[@LT_LYRICS]

I love alexie's dad, and how he was overwhelmed with the news of his kid being granted a scholarship at arsenal. Goosebumps.

[@Mysterialic]

Here's for a bright future at the club, Alexei. You're one to watch.

[@garyneville1141]

Completely agree about Alexei the kid looks sharp!

[@akandeabiodunp.6210]

Alexei and Luis needs to make it as first team players. I love them

[@riyadinho6795]

Luis is a natural leader and a big personality, hope he makes it to the 1st team, we need more of those

[@kyversilver5584]

I love all this Arsenal free content. I run Arsenal through my veins, so the more I can get to know about the club, their structure, and our players and staff, the better for my knowledge. Trully one of the best teams in the world. In constant grow in all areas.

[@mikeomahony5508]

Couldnt have put it better myself 👌

[@jonathanporter6479]

Just watched the first two episodes, absolutely brilliant, the attention to detail and after care looks second to none. It's so important that those that don't make it are given as much help as those that don't as ultimately they are people and deserve respect and with that the club will get the best reputation and with it all the best youngsters will want to be part of it. Per was always a class act as a player and great to see he has taken that on with his new role.

[@mikeomahony5508]

Totally agree, top comment!

we need more CB to come through our academy....Rooting for the CB to breakthrough to first team

[@virupakshawalla5734]

And defensive midfielder. Keeper would be nice too lol. A whole team even 😃. Would be amazing to have our Beckham Scholes etc. But that lot also attacking players. Maybe more difficult to spot defensive or just everyone looking at the bobbles?

[@dseph7852]

Alexei's dad makes this better than all or nothing at times

[@lcolells315]

I’m really excited to watch Luis and Alexei grow in the academy and keep tabs on their work!

[@garyneville1141]

I have to say firstly that the set up for these kids looks so professional and safe. Every detail is closely monitored and I like the balance if building the confidence of these lads but keeping thier feet on the ground. Alexi looks sharp and a serious goalkeeper in the making. A big thank you for a great video from a life long gooner.

[@basilabia]

Per Mertesacker, what a beautiful human being.

[@virupakshawalla5734]

Would be great to see Alexie make it, but physical development is never sure. You probably going to have to be bigger and bigger as time goes on to be an elite keeper? Must be odd as kid with fans expectations starting at 15. Just get on with it lads. Don't read comments lol.
