Sir Alex Ferguson inspires Gareth Southgate for the management of Jadon Sancho and Callum Hudson-Odoi | Football News

Gareth Southgate is inspired by Sir Alex Ferguson's book to feed English teenagers Jadon Sancho and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

After reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup and the first finals of the UEFA League of Nations this summer, the Three Lions clinched 2019 on the right foot by beating the Czech Republic 5-0 in the match of qualification for the Euro 2020 of Friday.

The winger of Borussia Dortmund, Sancho, was dazzled by the opening of the match. His fellow U17 World Cup winner Hudson-Odoi and his new eligible player, Declan Rice, will make their debut.

"We have competitions for the places and I think the attackers anyway, they mature very early, and they can go very young," said Southgate before the shock of Group A Monday in Montenegro.

"So it's not a problem to play them, and really we found another player that we really liked [in Hudson-Odoi]but we were not sure he would be able to adapt to this level, and we are lucky to find him, in the sense that we probably would not have done that in this camp.

"We would have left it a little longer in the under-21s but he has already proven in this environment that he can do more than get out of it."

Southgate showed that he was not afraid to give young people a chance. The elite development manager of the former Football Association and the boss of the Under-21 team from England have highlighted how the former director of Manchester United, Ferguson, had made the most of Ryan Giggs.

"I think it goes into everything: how much we expose them to the public, how much we put them in a commercial situation," said Southgate about their responsibility to young players.

"We have to think about it all the time, because it is very easy for them to enjoy these moments, and they have to take advantage of those moments, but there is also a good balance.

"I'm still thinking about Sir Alex with Ryan and how he's done so well, and they've been successful because of that.

"So, although they are not our day-to-day player, I think we have the responsibility to do it as much as we can, because we are also putting them to another level and we have to ensure that we get the right balance for the club, but especially for the player. "

As a result, Southgate rarely finds young people "in check", with their self-confidence and creativity complemented by an open-mindedness exemplified by Sancho's move to Dortmund.

Hudson-Odoi was eager to join him in the Bundesliga when Bayern Munich knocked on his door in January and the future of Chelsea remained unresolved.

"If you look at the number of appearances, he has often been on the ground," said Southgate, who was unaware of his contractual situation.

"And I know since the beginning of the season with the club that we had a lot of confidence in Maurizio [Sarri] has in him.

"He has some outstanding players right in front of him, he is gradually gaining more and more playing time, and they still have the Europa League."

"So, I think he's matured well." He does not need to be in a hurry for him, I think we've seen this with Marcus. [Rashford] and its development.

"He has a first – team football and that 's important.For us, I think his progress is good and that, since Chelsea could have a restriction on the signing of people, his opportunities," he said. he continues with this level, will introduce himself. "
