West Ham United's reserve squad is led by Thomas Hitzelsperger, with Freddy Sears, Zavin Hines and Julian Verbert also starting, with their starting 11 players having 1,135 professional appearances, compared to a fraction of Blackburn's side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The reason for this situation is based on Arthur's decision that the average age of Blackburn's reserve squad is much younger than that of other teams, because Arthur believes that once a reserve player is over 20 years old and still does not qualify to play for the first team and train with the team, then either the contract will be renewed, or the young players will find their own home: transfer.

Arthur believes that once a player reaches the age of 20 and still can't make it out, then it is enough to see that the opponent's potential has come to an end - although there are many late bloomers, but on the one hand, Arthur has memories of his previous life and can discern which players will be late bloomers in the past six years, and on the other hand, Arthur can also afford to lose potential young players, because even the players who can become late bloomers do not have room for him to grow slowly at the current Blackburn Rovers.

Returning to the battle between Blackburn Rovers Reserve and West Ham Reserves, facing opponents far more experienced than themselves, Blackburn Rovers Reserve Team was not afraid, and in the 12th minute, Gomez, who wore No. 6 on the spot, cleverly broke the ball in midfield, broke forward with the ball and used a hidden through plug to Harry Kane who was cruising near the penalty area, and Harry Kane received the ball and fired a low right-footed shot through the opponent's goal.

Although Dele Ali's mistake in the 33rd minute was broken by the opponent and crossed, in the face of a low and fast pass, Charlock rashly blocked the pass, but unfortunately tragically missed the pass, McCarthy easily grabbed the point to equalize.

Before the end of the half, Gomez was cut off by the opponent and did not retreat in time, and was hit by the opponent after breaking along the bottom line, the ball hit Stones and rebounded into the goal, Blackburn fell behind 1-2 to end the half.

In the second half, Harry Kane was brought down in the box to win a penalty on 55 minutes, and he calmly smashed the ball into the bottom left corner of the net to equalise.

Three minutes later, Anthony Martial played the ball to Harry Kane, who burst onto the edge of the box and fired into the corner with a three-man long-range shot to score a hat-trick.

On 77 minutes, West Ham United sent a non-threatening pass into the box, and Charlock once again interpreted the meaning of the tragedy, missing the ball very outrageously, and was comfortably equalised by Hayens at the back post.

The 81st minute was the decisive moment when Dele Ali sent a stunning through ball from near the half-time circle, Harry Kane calmly fired directly at the goalkeeper and the newborn calf's reserve team won 4-3.

This is a victory for the kids!

Needless to say, the hard-fought finals are the overall champions – and no one can deny that.

In addition to the championship, Arthur was even happier when he saw the thunderous names of the previous life that would surely be able to sit in the main team of Blackburn Rovers in five years.

The forward trident: Harry Kane - In the 2015-2016 season, Kane scored 25 goals, breaking the record for Tottenham players to score goals in a single season and winning the Premier League Golden Boot award, becoming the first English domestic Golden Boot winner in the 21st century.

Raheem Sterling - An indispensable central figure for Liverpool in the 2014/15 Premier League season and moved to Manchester City that year, making him the most expensive English player in history for a fee of £49 million.

Anthony Martial - Anthony Martial became the most expensive player under the age of 20 in world football when he moved to Manchester United for a fee of £36 million in the summer of 2015. On December 19, 2015, he was elected as the 2015 European Golden Boy Award.

The heart of the midfield: Dele Alli - A rising star in 2015-16, he was selected for the England national team and competed in the 2016 European Championships, finishing 90th in the Guardian's 2016 Top 100 Stars.

Defender: John Stones - a £50 million move to Manchester City in 2016 and a new England international.

Goalkeeper: Butland – At the age of 18, Butland was named in the England squad as third goalkeeper in the summer of 2012 and played for England at the Olympics in the summer of the same year, before being named one of the Premier League's top four goalkeepers in 2016-17 at the age of 22.

This season, Arthur was still worried that Blackburn Rovers would not be able to sustain the academy faction with Phil Jones alone once Duff retired, but after two or three years, that was no longer a problem.

Compared with the rapid development of the reserve team, the Blackburn youth team is still relatively immature, but compared to Arthur's requirements for the performance of the reserve team, the youth team is really a stage for training.

In this season's youth league league, Blackburn Rovers won 9 games, drew 5 and lost 11 in 28 games, scored 38 goals and conceded 44 goals, and finally accumulated 32 points and ranked eighth in the division, which is the third from the bottom.

And last season's results were not very good, with 27 games, 14 wins, 5 draws, 8 losses, 51 goals scored and 40 goals conceded.

The reason why the youth team has such poor results is because the best elements of it are constantly selected to the reserve team.

In the FA Youth Cup, Blackburn defeated Sunderland, Arsenal, Barnsley and Watford to reach the semi-finals, and after beating Manchester United 3-2 in the first leg, they were defeated in the second leg and were beaten 0-2 and finally missed the final with a total score of 3-4.

Blackburn's youth team performance in the league is mediocre, to put it mildly, the defense line is completely papery, the guidance of defenders is not very effective, and the "gauze" mistakes of defenders in the game are not uncommon, and it is nothing new for big scores to be slaughtered.

Too many players on the field and a lack of tacit understanding among the players are the main problems. Four of the 43 players in the youth team have made appearances this season, four of them goalkeepers, compared to 29 and four goalkeepers last season.

However, there are too many players on the field, which is a direct arrangement of Arthur, because he hopes that more players can have the opportunity to play officially, rather than making the Blackburn Academy a stage for a few young players to grow.

The youth team has been hit by a serious injury wave this season. The Austrian high school striker Pixar, who was in great form in the first few games of the season, missed most of the season due to a knee injury, and finally only made 7 appearances in the youth team, including 6 starts, and all 3 goals were scored in the first 4 games at the beginning of the season. Hopefully, after the offseason adjustments, I can return to the form I was at the beginning of the season.

During Pixar's injury, 1997-born Chinese teenager Zhang Yuning took his place, and he has made the most appearances for the youth team this season, scoring eight goals and providing five assists in 32 starts. It's this kind of statistic that has won the top scorer and assist king of the youth team. He is a very hard-working player who runs tirelessly on the pitch, but at only 14 years old he can't support Blackburn's youth team's forward line, but he has become a gem of Blackburn's youth team and will be a potential star of tomorrow.

This season's Under-18s are technically more of an Under-16 team, with injuries to age-appropriate players and the transfer of some players in that age group to the reserve squad have given a large number of Under-16s a chance to play, and many of the Milk Cup winners last summer also played in the recent Nike Cup, beating Chelsea in the final to win another title.

Goalkeeper Michael Bienny, the son of youth team goalkeeper coach Mark Biney, has a solid fundamentals and saves quite stretched, but has problems with concentration.

A significant number of Blackburn Rovers have a place at the Under-16s in this age group, with Alastair being an all-rounder at the back and a midfielder, with a high ball IQ and energy, who represented England Under-16s in February's Victory Shield as England beat Scotland to win the title again.

The midfield trio of Jordan, Houghton and George Cole all played in the recent Montague Invitational. Houghton shone brightly, not only captaining the team in the 3-2 win over the UAE in the group stage, but also scoring two goals, including a goal in the previous 5-0 win over Uruguay. Jordan was instrumental in opening the scoring for Blackburn Rovers in the Milk Cup last summer, and it was he who scored the remaining goal in the win over the United Arab Emirates. George Cole has also been in the spotlight as another Cole for Blackburn, and as things stand, he can play on both flanks and is quite technically good, but it remains to be seen what else will happen as they take away the Montague Invitational title with England Under-16s beating France in the final. After that, Blackburn Rovers U16 also participated in the Italian Ferroli Cup, due to the impact of the water and soil and the Montague Invitational Tournament and indeed there is a gap with the Italian team in many aspects, the group stage 1 draw and 2 losses went home early. Arsenal and Manchester City were also featured in the tournament, but all of them went home in the group stage without exception.

But this batch of Under-16 players is still worth looking forward to, as well as last year's MVP of the Milk Cup, John Swift. Many of them were involved in the sensational 9-0 bloodbath of Manchester City at Blackburn Rovers Under-15s at the start of the season. From this point on, expectations should be placed on them.

The problem of the youth team now is that the tactics are out of touch with the first team, and it is more common for individuals to play alone in attack, and there have been some changes in the routine compared to last year, with more short passes, a great improvement in the quality of long-range shots, and injuries in the attacking line have had a considerable impact.

It's too much on individual ability, but it's really good for developing top talent, and with the success of the development squad, we can expect what to expect next season. According to the Daily Star, Arthur has channelled £60 million into the academy – and it's time.

Next season, new European Under-17 champions Nathan Ake, Czech attacker Dominik Mosaic and the much-anticipated Lucas Piazon will join the squad. With the exception of the latter, the other two should both start their Blackburn journeys at Under-18s.

After ten years of cultivation by Arthur, the Blackburn Academy has finally begun to bear fruit!
