LONDON -- Dele Alli is proof that England can produce players to rival Spain, Brazil and Argentina, according to Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who says he is following Sir. Alex Ferguson's blueprint for success in the Premier League.
Since arriving at Southampton in 2012, Pochettino has gone against the grain, preferring to promote academy players to the first team, or buy and develop youth, rather than spending big -- a policy he admits is "a little bit crazy" for English clubs.
