On the night when Leeds United and AC Milan ended, this friendly match attracted a lot of attention. Media outlets seemed to favor the "Youth Guards" who almost created the miracle of winning the championship last season, and all made positive voices.

The Evening Post said: "Leeds Time" has started again, and AC Milan became the first victim of the new season. Although Reid's own goal shortly after the opening made Leeds behind, Simon Grayson's team reversed and scored an astonishing six goals in the first half, making the second half of the game without any suspense.

"Milan Sports Daily" said: AC Milan coach Allegri refused to accept an interview and did not comment on losing to his opponent in the most important warm-up match before the season. There are reports that Allegri's coaching position is unstable and if his coaching performance is poor this season, he may be dismissed halfway.

The Times comments are more pertinent: After a long summer vacation, Simon Grayson and his disciples have obviously prepared for the new season. Leeds United finally won the league runner-up last season, and the team spent another £18 million in transfer fees this season to enhance their strength. Judging from Simon Grayson's careful personality, the four players, Madias Carruzzo, Barnetta, John Fleck, and Kevin Vogt, will definitely bring qualitative improvements to Leeds United. Their goal should be the champion in the new season, and other teams really need to be careful.

Even the Spanish media also praised Leeds United. "Marca" said: The re-rise of Leeds United in England once again allows us to see how effective a team's youth training system is. Leeds United's youth training system has already shown signs of a talent blowout, from captain Jonny Hausen to Ben Parker, and then to Zach Thompson. The famous "Three Musketeers of Leeds" gathered together and the team's performance improved by leaps and bounds, followed by Ashley Hood, Pivkovsky and other small people.

It will emerge. 17-year-old left-back Chris Farley, who just played two warm-up games for the team this season, showed amazing talent and was very likely to become the second Ben Parker. We believe that Leeds United is walking a path similar to Barcelona, ​​and they are willing to spend a lot of energy and financial resources. They have online young geniuses from all over the world and are boldly activated after training. Perhaps one day, all of the eleven people they play on the court will be from Thorpe Arch training base.

Before the new season begins, Leeds United has attracted much attention. Countless media are analyzing the reasons for Leeds United's strong rise. Some people have been constantly visiting the Thorpe Arch training base, hoping to discover how the team's youth training camp has cultivated so many fist products.

You should know that Zach Thompson, Jonny Hausen, Ben Parker, the "Three Leeds Musketeers" are just representative figures produced by Thorpe Arch. In addition, many players have grown up from the youth team. Or they come to the Thorpe Arch training base as young players and only enter the first team after undergoing training and transformation.

Pifkowski, a 19-year-old young player, first stayed at the Thorpe Arch training base for a year after transferring from Blackburn to Leeds United, and then waited for another half a season last season before he had the chance to show himself. Now he has had the experience of playing in the Swedish national team. 16-year-old Ashley Hood only played 5 games for Leeds United last season. However, because of his outstanding performance, he became a member of the English National Youth Team. He is watching 17-year-old Chris Farley may also emerge this season.

The sign of Leeds United's talent emergence is enough to make other teams feel jealous. The youth training camp continues to produce talents, which is the foundation for the team's strong strength!

The impact of winning AC Milan has not yet dissipated, and the "Young Guards" once again attracted the attention of European football, because in the latest "Three Lions" list, the "Three Musketeers of Leeds" finally became famous. It seems that Hodgson has plans to move Leeds United's left offensive system to England.

Although it was just a friendly match between the "Three Lions" and the Asian team Saudi Arabia, England fans are still very concerned. The "Young Guards" left offensive system "Three Musketeers" is so famous. Zach Thompson, Jonny Hausen, Ben Parker, these three boys of the same age are too tacit understanding. It seems that they don't need to look at where their teammates are. They can pass the ball to their partner's feet.

Now that the "Three Lions Legion" has fully transplanted the "Three Musketeers of Leeds". Is it a success or failure... This suspense is both interesting and exciting!

As if he was trying to cheer up his disciples, Simon Grayson, the head coach, actually took the time to run to King Fahd International Stadium to watch the game. His idea was actually very simple. He wanted to see how Hodgson used his disciples, was he copied the "Three Musketeers of Leeds" or was there something new?

At the beginning of the game, Simon Grayson was a little confused. His three disciples did appear, but the position... is wrong!

England has always been a fan of the 442 formation. After the "Three Musketeers of Leeds" were integrated, they were supposed to make a fuss on the left, but Hodgson actually arranged Zach Thompson to play a central defender in this game, and Captain Leeds was even arranged by him as the right forward.

Why...is this...for?

Jonny Hausen is a midfielder who can play left and right forwards, central defenders, and even left wingers, but he is best at the left forward and left wingers. Simon Grayson believes that Hodgson must know this, so why is he arranged this way?

Leiden Bynes in the left front guard position is a full-back player with strong defense and weak offense. He and Ben Parker are typical of two opposite full-backs. They put these two people together and placed them on the left side. Is it for...balance?

But in this way... the "Three Musketeers of Leeds" were dismantled?

After careful observation, Simon Grayson discovered that Hodgson's purpose was doing this. In the game, Shaq frequently switched positions with James Milner beside him to support the left, and Jonny Hausen often dribbled the ball from the right. England's offense finally pointed to a point, the left forward among the two forwards - Wayne Rooney!

Tactical tilt!

This is tactical tilt!

After seeing it clearly, Simon Grayson knew what Hodgson was going to do. This was simply a set of offensive tactics formulated by Rooney. His disciple... became a supporting role!

Simon Grayson smiled bitterly, but he knew very well that no one could do anything about this. Wayne Rooney's position in English football is really too high now. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "flag" of English football. No English coach would be scolded to death without Terry, Lampard, and Gerald. But if Rooney was not used, he would definitely be drowned by the saliva of English fans. This is the huge influence of Rooney today.

However, "Little Fatty" Rooney is worthy of being the number one star in England today. When the game was 8 minutes old, the "Three Musketeers of Leeds" all ran to the left to attack their opponents. Leeds captain Jonny Hausen suddenly pushed Zach Thompson into the Saudi team's left penalty area with a diagonal line.

"Little Fat" Rooney was like a flexible little tank. He rushed out diagonally and took the ball forward with a quick swing of his left foot. The ball was pushed into the bottom right corner of the Saudi team's goal with a "splash"... 1:0!

When the game ended 36 minutes later, Jonny Hausen made another corner kick on the left, Terry smashed the ball on the lawn in front of the goal, and the ball bounced back and entered again... 2:0!

The score between the two sides was 2:0 in the first half. During the break, Simon Grayson carefully recorded it on a small notebook he carried with him. Hodgson's use of Jonny Hausen was still very innovative. Captain Leeds on the right almost did not make a breakthrough forward. After getting the ball in the forty-five minutes in the first half, he basically cut in to the left, sharp and decisive!

At the same time, the space in front of Jonny Hausen also gave the "Little Tiger" a larger range of activities. Although Walcott did not create any opportunities, this tactical arrangement did benefit Simon Grayson a lot. The "Beast" Tevez and Nelson Oliveira in Leeds United can all replace Walcott's position.

Although his confidant Shaq failed to play more role in the England team, there is no way to do so. The England team never puts all hope on one person. Shaq has not yet been in Leeds in the "Three Lions". But in general, Simon Grayson still benefits a lot this time to watch the game.

England entered the second half with a score of 2:0, and the players' mentality was even more relaxed. They were naturally happy and played in the game. The "Three Musketeers of Leeds" frequently concentrated their strength on the left, and the Saudi team could not raise their heads at all. The two sides were indeed not at the same level.

When the game reached 68 minutes, Zach Thompson completed a wonderful straight pass in the middle circle. He sent the ball straight from the middle circle to Rooney's feet in the penalty area, allowing the latter to easily complete the second goal of the game with a single kick.

Rooney's double score made him very excited. He ran to Zach Thompson for half a stadium and hugged the little brother tightly...

The biggest contributor to this ball is Shaq!

The straight pass that spanned 35 meters was accurate and fast, and allowed Rooney to shoot comfortably after getting the ball. He found this opportunity and sent such high-quality passes in England.

What makes Rooney happiest is naturally that his capital for negotiations with the "Red Devils" Manchester United has increased. Since the retirement of "Sir Ferguson", the new coach Moyes has made every effort to make things difficult for Rooney when he negotiated a new contract. Until now, Rooney has no choice but to stay in Manchester United. In 2004, Rooney was sold to Manchester United by Moyes. At that time, the relationship between the two was not very good at the beginning, and now the conflict between them has continued in the "Red Devils".

But now there is a big difference. Rooney, who originally had no shortage of next home, has won two goals in this game, I believe Manchester United must also consider whether to sell him.
Chapter completed!
