Thorpe Arch Training Ground, Youth Team Training Ground.

George Lee and John Sheridan stood on the sidelines watching the youth echelon train.

"So, it's really good." George Lee looked at Charlotte Blake, who was running on the field, and said to Sheridan.

"Yes, you can say that you have picked up a baby." Sheridan replied.

"I didn't believe it at first, although I knew Sean never lied."

"If you see it with your own eyes, you can't be wrong."

'yes, so your suggestion is to let him play at right wing-back.'

"Yes, he's fast, he's tall, he's not afraid of confrontation, and he can turn the right side into his hallway."

'I heard that we had a good right-back in our youth team before and then went to Manchester City's academy?

"The one you're talking about is called Mika Richards, who just played against us the other day, and it's really good."

"It's a pity that I didn't keep it."

"They were only 12 years old when they left, and who would know what happened today. Moreover, I think Charlotte's talent is completely above Richards. ”

"Are there any other good young people?" Since George Li is here, he wants to know more about the youth team.

"Yes, yes, but you'll have to wait a few years. If you're in a hurry, you can go to Lucas. ”

John Sheridan is in charge of Leeds United's entire youth system, while Leeds legend Lucas Radbey, who retired last year due to injury, has been appointed as the team's development coach.

"I'm blind to see, it's okay to find out, I don't know if the province has been poached by others."

"No, as soon as the chairman and manager completed the acquisition, they increased their investment in echelon training. By the way, is that what you asked? ”

"Yes, although we are not short of money now, I always feel that I still have to cultivate it myself and use it comfortably."

Xie Lidan also nodded in agreement when he heard George Li's words.

"In that case, I'll introduce you to a few."

"Okay, I'll take a look."

"That black boy who is opposite Blake, do you see?"

"See, the speed is okay, and I can keep up with Blake."

"Danny Rose, the left wing of the team, his speed is his strength, and we are basically attacking on these two wings now."

"Very good." After George Li saw it, he pointed to another kid wearing a No. 70 jersey and asked, "What about this?" ”

"Fabian Delph likes to ask for the ball, he is more persistent in possession, and he always likes to throw off the opposing defenders with the ball."

"In my opinion, that's not a good habit."

On the field, after Delph got the ball, he took two steps and made a clever pass to Jan Arneson when the defender on the opposite side came up.

Seeing Arneson take the ball, Sheridan said to George Lee.

"As for this Norwegian kid you found, I can't think of any adjectives, I can only say that it is too fast."

After seeing Arneson on the field, he directly exploded, leaving the entire back line on the opposite side behind.

"That's right, so am I...... Hey, Lucas. As soon as George Lee wanted to put gold on his face, he saw the team's reserve coach Radebe walking towards the two of them.

"Hey, George, John, both of you are here."

"Yes, who do you like?" Sheridan knew what Radbey's intentions were.

Knowing that Radebe is here to select a few young players to play in the development team, although Leeds United have increased their investment in the youth team this summer, they have released a large number of reserve players who are overage and do not meet the requirements of the first team. In Lee's words, even players who can't play and have no potential to poach, it's better to let them play in the second league and not stay in the reserve team for retirement.

Therefore, Radebe, who has just become the coach of the reserve team, does not have many players under his hands, and often asks George Lee to borrow players who cannot play in the first team to participate in the reserve team games. And George Lee is happy to do that, after all, it's good to have games to keep the first-team players in shape.

"Just that Arneson, I've heard Derwig say a few times that he's a great Norwegian dude."

"I'm very knowledgeable."

"That Delphi is ...... or not"

"Needless to say, although the game of the reserve team is not as intense as the first team, it is also an adult, and if you get injured, it will not be good."

"I promise, the substitute, definitely not the starter, okay."

"Okay, but I also have a condition, there is a youth team game in two days, and you can ask Peter's son to come and guard the door for me."

“OK，OK。”

George Li smiled and listened to his reserve team coach and youth team coach borrow players as if they were talking about business.

At this time, Radebay turned his head to George Lee again.

"George, then you ...... here"

"Lucas, don't do that. When I was a player, you took good care of me when I first arrived at Leeds, and now I'm definitely going to repay you. ”

"So, how many?"

'Carson, Kilgallen, Milner, Lennon, Derwig and Oscarson can do it, but Milner and Oscarson can play at most half the game, don't get tired.'

"You're really generous, but it won't affect your next round of Manchester United."

Leeds United's 2-1 defeat at home to Arsenal in the first round did not affect the morale of the team.

Won 3-1 away at Crystal Palace on 21 August. Then, on the 28th, with Smith's final stunner, they defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-1 and ushered in a wave of two consecutive wins.

Next, Leeds United will face a tough game when they visit Old Trafford to face the Red Devils Manchester United.

The media has been warming up for the game for several days, and George Lee has been around the training ground for the past few days to see reporters sprinting with guns a lot more than usual.

First of all, Manchester United and Leeds are old rivals, and the contest between the two teams is known as the Rose Derby.

The rivalry between Leeds United and Manchester United can be traced back to the Wars of the Roses, which originated in a series of civil wars between the Yorks and Lancasters in the 1400s over the throne of England.

The home jerseys of the two clubs correspond to the rose colors represented by the two dynasties in history, Leeds United has a white jersey, similar to the white rose of York; Manchester United are red jerseys, like the Lancashire Red Roses.

Coupled with the fact that the coaches of the two teams were still in a mentor-apprentice relationship before, this made this game even more eye-catching.

"Judas Iscariot", as some radical United fans refer to George Lee, has also annoyed Leeds United's coaching staff, who have a long history with Manchester United.

At this time, the training of the youth team was over, and George Li saw that some parents had already come to the training ground to wait for their children, and of course there were some children whose parents did not come, and the club would arrange a bus to send them back.

"Hello, Coach Li."

It was Lee's neighbor, Mrs. Black, who owned a fish and chip shop.

"Hello, Mr. Black didn't come, he's busy in the shop."

"Yes, that's right. Thank you to the coach for giving us the tickets before, my husband said that he is now a Leeds United fan and he will be there to cheer for Leeds' home games in the future. ”

"You are so kind, and I thank you for the fried fish you gave us that day, my children and I love it."

"That's not as good as ......"

"No, no, I'll have a coaching staff meeting later, next time."

"Okay, I have to come."

"Okay, goodbye Mrs. Black."

George Lee saw Mrs. Black pick up Charlotte Black and was ready to leave.

He suddenly saw his son, Olson, running from the training ground on the other side, approaching Charlotte Black and waving to Wallace behind him.

George Lee didn't stop them, but turned his head and walked towards the office.

It was time for that kid at Olsen to eat less fried fish, George Lee thought as he walked.
