I wanted to ask Ralph Hasenhuttl about this yesterday: A picture shared by @TotalSaintsPod and @Martin_Semmens of the #SaintsFC boss addressing his U23 stars after their win over Man City earlier this month...

Hasenhuttl has ensured the kids play his way in recent months. (1/5)

So why did he gather the #SaintsFC youngsters on the field? Can we expect to see him doing this regularly and what did we tell them that couldn’t wait for Monday’s training session? (2/5)

The #SaintsFC youngsters beat Manchester City, one of world football’s best academies, 5-2 but what was more satisfying for Hasenhuttl was that they mirrored the first team in their shape, movement, pressing and character. (3/5)

So what next for #SaintsFC in terms of youth production? Has Hasenhuttl set a quota for how many players he wants to see graduate to the first team? Does he already have his ‘next big thing’ in mind? (4/5)

If you want to read more about what Ralph Hasenhuttl is doing with the #SaintsFC academy and why his changes are working, here is more from my chat with the Austrian boss. https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/football-news/southampton-ralph-hasenhuttl-academy-latest-4724131?a
