Francis Jeffers scored the first goal after nine minutes in Friday night’s friendly.The first of many, methinks.
Bergkamp scored the second after 42 minutes from a long pass by Van Bronckhorst.
Moritz Volz looked hugely promising in the Youth Cup Final-fast, solid, aggressive, technically sound.I’m sure he is better than Lee Dixon was at the same age.
He might be six months away from replacing Dixon, or two years.We don’t know. But we do know that if Ashley Cole can do it, Volz can do it.
