0168 The future is promising

Inside the restaurant of Thorpe's Arch Training Ground.

The young Leeds United youth players were sitting in the restaurant for dinner, as they were ready for dinner after their home youth game just afternoon.

Most of them will choose to live in the dormitory of the training ground and continue their training or study tomorrow, and only a few who live close will go home.

It's just that the restaurant is surprisingly quiet now, except for the slight sound of a knife and fork hitting a plate, there is almost no other sound.

All the youth team players were watching the Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur match on the TV in the restaurant.

On the screen, it was Charlotte's wide transfer just now, moving the ball from the right to the left, Pedersen took the ball and crossed, but unfortunately Gray was a little slow and couldn't touch the ball.

"Hey~"

The young players sitting in the cafeteria let out a sigh of pity.

Then when the Tottenham goalkeeper went to pick up the ball, and when it was time to serve the goal, they quickly stuffed something into their mouths and continued to watch the game.

It can be said that the club's investment in youth training is very important. The team did not have a separate cafeteria for the young players and the first team, and all the players on the training ground ate in the cafeteria. At the same time, according to the needs of the players, Leeds United's dietitians will set up nutritious meals for the players.

For example, at each meal, there are always a few separate plates with names on them, which are individually made according to the nutritional needs of the players. But generally no one will offer to eat it, after all, the taste is so bad.

But there is always a nutritious meal with the name "Sean Wallace" on it, and Wallace has insisted on eating this since he started working out.

While everyone was watching the game with all his might, Olsen secretly put a piece of sausage into Wallace's nutritious meal plate, but he was spotted by Wallace when he was secretly laughing.

Wallace then discovered Olsen's prank, not only giving him back his sausages, but also inserting a large piece of chicken breast into Olsen.

Then it was Olsen's turn to start frowning.

Frank Gray, the head of youth training, and Stuart Gray, the youth team coach who were sitting on the side, also saw the small movements of the two guys, and they were also silent and laughed.

For this family, Frank Gray really feels full of talent, although he is not biological, but these two boys have performed well in the youth team.

As far as Sean Wallace is concerned, a young man who is only 14 years old is already as strong as a 17 or 8-year-old. He defended solidly in the Under-14s and often sat alone at the back, allowing everyone in the squad to participate in the attack except the goalkeeper.

If it weren't for the fear of being fueled, Gray would have really wanted to move him to the Under-17s and get in touch with the next level of competition earlier.

As for the other Carl Olsen, he has been training hard since last year, not knowing what stimulated him. I used to like to practice a little fancy moves, but now this kid has almost completely abandoned those movements, which is simple and practical.

The two young players who sat at the table with the two brothers, Charlie Taylor and Sam Bayram, were Leeds United's two sharp knives on the Under-14s, one on the left and one on the right. With Wallace at the back, the two full-backs are perfectly capable of boldly inserting assists.

"Good shot!"

I don't know who shouted, Leeds United started to attack on the screen again, Barton grabbed Tottenham's attacking pass, and immediately passed it to Delph in front.

Delph got rid of it, deceived the Malblanc defense, and a through pass to the back of the Tottenham defence, but although Arneson was fast, the position was already stuck by Dawson, and he could only watch the ball be confiscated by the Tottenham goalkeeper.

Because he is often transferred back to youth team games, Gray is quite familiar with Delph.

The lad and Charlotte Black went to the first team at the same time, and unlike the lack of right-back, Leeds United had plenty of numbers in midfield, so that meant that Delph didn't get many chances.

But as you can see from the Delph youth team game, Delph has grown a lot in the first team. Especially in terms of physical confrontation, although it can't deal with the Premier League teams, it is completely enough to play this kind of cup competition now, let alone come back to play youth team games.

As for Charlotte Black. Gray doesn't want to comment anymore, he doesn't dare to call people back to play in the youth team now, after all, Charlotte herself said that he will become weaker when he plays against the weak. Looking at his current performance, he is simply a teenager and an old man.

"Danger!"

"Ah!!h

"It's over."

Gray looked up again and saw the Tottenham players on TV celebrating as Leeds United, who had just taken the initiative, conceded a goal.

Through the replay, it was Tottenham midfielder Huddlestone who caused Schmeichel Jr. to get out of his hands after a long-range shot, and then Berbatov came into the box and scored a goal through a follow-up shot.

Schmeichel can't be blamed for this goal, because his first save was already wonderful, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

After conceding the goal, Schmeichel took the initiative to find the two central defenders, Albchesen and Glenqvist, and began to communicate about the conceded goal, so that they would not miss Beba.

Gray wasn't much frustrated after seeing Leeds concede the goal. Because he can see that this kind of league cup Li George is already disdainful of fighting, he is completely training and finding the state of the substitute players. Can the full substitute play back and forth with Tottenham, are you still not satisfied?

Indeed, George Lee was not satisfied.

The game can be lost, but he will not let go of this rare training opportunity.

George Lee has been shouting tactics and gesturing on the sidelines, thinking about how to continue to pose a threat to Tottenham.

Sure enough, Leeds equalised at half-time.

Schmeichel Jr. received the ball and threw it to Charlotte, who had already stepped forward, and Charlotte was close to midfield when he received the ball.

He opted to make a run down the middle, playing through two Tottenham midfielders in quick succession and passing to Andy Gray.

Gray looked at the two sides with his back to Dawson, and Pedersen on the left side was close to the wing, basically not thinking about cutting in, passing the ball to him could only let him get up and cross.

Arneson on the right was up front but hadn't run to position yet, and it was a bit early to pass the ball to him.

Bowyer had stepped forward to almost run parallel to him, but King had already stuck to it.

Just when Andy Gray was thinking about coming himself, a man reached out in front of his eyes.

Delph.

The Leeds youngster reached for the ball and Andy Gray gave it to him.

It's just that Delph just picked the ball lightly and picked it through the entire Tottenham defence.

After this pass, Arneson had already entered the penalty area and there was no offside in the moment of the pass.

Arneson stopped the ball and struck again, and this time he still chose to shoot.

This time he got the power and the ball went past the goalkeeper and landed safely into the middle of the net.

1 to 1.

Leeds United equalised just before half-time.

This time, Schmeichel Jr., who started the attack, Charlotte Black, Fabian Delph in the middle, and Jan Arneson who scored at the end were all players who came out of the Leeds United academy.

Frank Gray, who was watching the game in the training ground restaurant, couldn't help but feel a wave of pride and pride when he saw the young Leeds players hugging each other after scoring a goal on TV.

I've only been here for a short time, but look at the young players in the first team.

Take a look at the U17s' Danny Rose, Grant Wall, Edmond Son, U14's Sean Wallace, Carl Olson, Charlie Taylor, Sam Byram.

Frank Gray feels Leeds United really have a bright future.
