Spurs 2-0 up at ht First goal from Ross
James Welham @WelhamOfficial
2-0 just before HT! About 5 wasted chances then finally went in! Announcer said Oduwa but he's not on the pitch. Think it was akindayini

Finished 2-0, Spurs easily the better team in the end. The fella from Anderlecht looked very good and been told he's joining permanently
The guy from Anderlecht has come on.. looks superb on the ball, really tricky. Promising stuff
asked the bench if this Ismail fella has signed permanently. He asked if I had heard something, laughed, and said he will be..

Lost our 2nd game 1-0 to Wolfsburg. They were definitely the better team, but we did have 3 clear-cut 1-on-1 chances.
James Welham @WelhamOfficial
Ogilvie and Goddard probably our best players in the game.. Superb Ogilvie 60 yard pass set up one of our great chances

As promised, a little write up of the first day in Dusseldorf. It's worth remembering this is an U19 tournament, and we've taken an U18 team without a couple of players too.
First off, my phone died before the second game, so I couldn't make notes, plus for some of the names I am relying on the announcer who I know isn't very reliable (Oduwa apparently scored our second goal, but he wasn't on the pitch at the time), so apologies if anything is wrong!
We won the first game 2-0 against 04 Dusseldorf. We got off to a slow start and could have been behind, but kept it at 0-0 and as soon as we scored, we began to completely dominate, and ultimately could have won 3 or 4-0. Lloyd Ross got the first after great work down the left from Georgiou, and it appears Georgiou himself got the second (certainly not Oduwa...). MOTM in that first game was probably Josh Onomah. Bossed the midfield against guys 3 years older! He's a very promising talent.
Also worth noting that Ismail Azzaoui, the 16 year old we were reported to be signing from Anderlecht a while ago, played the last 15 minutes and looked very tasty indeed. Always looking to beat his man and usually did. He did also play in the second game, but had less of an impact against a stronger Wolfsburg team. I asked Kieran McKenna at full time if he'd joined permanently. The response was, "have you heard something then?" followed by a smile and "he will do". Suggests it's not on the dotted line yet, but this is certainly more than just a trial.
In the second game, we lost 1-0 to Wolfsburg. They were definitely better on the ball and much, much bigger all over the pitch. They deserved the win on the overall balance of play, but we actually had more clear cut chances (3 to 2 I'd say). All 3 of ours were 1 v 1s and all 3 were hit straight at the keeper (Harrison at 0-0, Onomah and Akindayini I think, at 1-1. Ogilvie set up two of these, one with a magnificent 60 yard ball right on the money. Their goal was right behind the dug-out from where I was stood, so couldn't see clearly, but it was definitely an own goal. Looked like one defender hoofed it against another and it Rick O'Shea'd in (tm US Soccer Guy!).
Tom Glover, a goalkeeper we signed from a team in Australia played this second game and looked established. Very calm on the ball and solid handling too. Had 1 shaky moment in the very first minute - a bit of a mix up with the centre back, but sorted it out in the end (although Wolfsburg appealed for handball outside the box). If for nothing else, he should be signed because his name is superb for a goalkeeper.
The games are only 25 minutes per half, so it's hard to give an in depth review and rating for each individual player. We have Leverkusen and Zagreb tomorrow. Leverkusen is a must win because I don't fancy us against Zagreb (beat Wolfsburg very comfortably). As a side note - 16 year old Dino Halilovic played for Zagreb and looked a class above. When you consider he's supposed to be the less promising brother, Alen must be something special. The Spurs TV camera was up for the first game, but I didn't see it for the second. I hope they were filming it from somewhere and they release highlights.

Btw I think Pele was Ogilvie as in Ginger Pele.
@TottenhamLegend thanks for the write up.
25mins is strange especially for this age group, they are adults. Seem to be doing OK against teams from a country that are top of their youth game. Good signs

yup think you are right on pele on reflection
re game time - 25 minutes each half ie 50 minutes a game.
However each 18 man squad has to play 2 games a day - and then repeat that tomorrow and another game on Monday ie 5 games of 50 minutes in 3 days.
So on average each player will play a tad less than 2 full 90 minute game spread over 3 days (with substitutions). Not sure that players would be expected to play that much more.
