---

Among the 11 pre-season friendship that took place on Saturday was Tottenham Hotspur’s journey to the third level reading.

The match at the selected car rental stadium (bring back Elm Park!) Is the first match Thomas Frank who is responsible for Spurs.

And there are new faces exhibited for Lilywhites, including the signing of a large money Kudus Mohammed.

This is what we see in Berkshire.

Read 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur

• Target: Lankear, Viskovic
• Assist: Viskovic, holy

Holy debut

Anyone who saw Kudus through the movement at West Ham United last season was undoubtedly wondering what Spurs had to slide in the north of £ 50 million in international players Ghana.

But the appearance of Saturday at Reading is a reminder why he is sought.

Son, he’s fine – even if it’s only against one side of the league.

Introduced in the first round and used on the right side, it was a big increase Brennan Johnsonwho floundered there in the first round.

Pacy, fleet and strong legs on the ball, the peak of the show for 45 minutes is a little trick on the wings (even if the ball may have come out …) to adjust Jamie Donley For chance in the 78th minute.

One more of the four highest opportunities he created was assists for young people in the middle Viskovic wound.

He also plays drama, with his corner. One of the delivery is budgeted by Vuskovic Will Lankear to enter.

Encouraging debut.

“He is very pleasant to watch. He has four, five very good actions where you can see what he is about. His speed, one-on-one skills, the way he can turn and turn forward. That’s positive.” – Thomas Frank on Mohammed Kudus

Udogie + further position

You could say the most interesting aspect of Frank’s first match at the top of the leader is the use of full-back.

Pedro Porro Has become a Spurs defender player at FPL in the last season, thanks to the threat of attacking him.

But on Saturday, that Destiny Udogie which is given more attacking licenses.

While the formation is 4-2-3-1 on paper, a buildup of 3-2-5 is common in the entire first round.

Udogie is pushed high and wide up, however, not porro. The Spaniard instead hung more, trying to break the defense of reading with the ball from inside.

Top: Setting the first round Spurs against Reading, through Sofascore. 31 = kinsky. 13 = Udogie. 4 = Danso. 17 = Romero. 23 = Porro. 30 = Bentancur. 29 = SARR. 47 = Moore. 45 = Devine. 22 = Johnson. 19 = SOLANKE.

But before we are too carried away, maybe this is just a horse-mind-courses. In the second half, the reverse role: Ben Davies hang on the left back, Djed Spence Advance more from the right. Maybe if Porro plays behind Holy, he will be asked to go forward more.

Porro did maintain the task of set-piece in the first round, at least. And, with defensive contribution points brought in, who says that the middle placement will not benefit him …

Absent explained

There are several rusty performances in other places, next to Johnson. Dominic Solanke And Son Heung-min Delivered by two of them, the former launched in the first round.

As for attendance, Archie Gray, Mathys Tel And Wilson from Odobert Late back from the European U21 championship and not involved. Richarlison must return next week, meanwhile, James Maddison is a partial training.
