THIS IS GREAT COACHING 👏🏼

Clear coaching is not shouting, “Work harder,” “Keep running,” or “Keep going.”

It is giving players information they can understand and use immediately.

In this clip, the coach identifies:

• What the opponent is doing
• Where the space is opening
• Which line the players should find
• What they should do after receiving or winning the ball

The instructions are short, specific, and connected to the problems happening on the field.

The most important moment is when the players begin identifying the same tactical picture themselves. They understand how the opponent is pressing and how they can bypass that pressure.

The inside story of Man City’s Cherki signing is wild!

🔹 43 metrics, 7 custom KPIs, and a clustering model to find Kevin De Bruyne’s statistical successor
🔹 The data pointed to one name: Rayan Cherki

However, his “mental” was a considered an obstacle. Man City consulted 4 coaches for behavioral reports, one advised against it.

What do you think about the depth of research clubs go through to sign a player?

Not every training session needs to be at maximum intensity.

In this clip, Bruno Guimarães is working unopposed at a controlled pace: scanning his shoulder, arriving at an angle, receiving, turning and playing.

We cannot know the purpose of his full session from one clip, but we can learn from what is visible.

Training intensity should match the purpose of the day and the demands already in your schedule.

Before adding an individual session, write down your club training, matches, gym work, school sport and recovery. Then ask:

What does my week need, and what can my body handle today?

Preseason

Build your capacity progressively. Combine harder football work with controlled technical days. Do not jump from very little training to maximum intensity every day.

In season

Your matches and important team sessions come first. Extra work should fill a gap.

A short, controlled session can focus on body shape, first touch, passing quality or position-specific movement without adding another heavy physical load.

Off-season

First recover physically and mentally. Then rebuild in stages. Start with controlled football work, strength and movement before increasing speed, volume, opposition and game intensity as preseason approaches.

Use this rule:

If your football week is already hard, add quality without adding unnecessary fatigue.

If your football week is light, you may have room for a more demanding session.

The goal is not to finish every session exhausted. The goal is to understand why you are training, choose the right load and arrive ready to perform.

Stanišić reads the moment to overlap into the open outside lane.

Cancelo shows both sides of the partnership for Portugal. When the winger holds the width, he underlaps through the half-space. In the next clip, Cancelo holds the width and the winger attacks inside.

The principle is the same! Do not occupy the same lane. Read your teammate, time the movement, and attack the free space.

BODY SHAPE 🗣️

Your next action begins before the ball arrives.

Your body shape determines what you can see, where your first touch can go, and how quickly you can play forward.

If you receive closed, you limit your own options. Open your body, see whats happeneing around you before the ball arrives, and use your first touch to prepare the pass, turn, shot or dribble that comes next.

Prep the body to receive ready for the next action.

INSIDE TRAINING - Sheffield Wednesday FC ⚽️

The quality of an exercise does not come from how complicated it looks. It comes from the standard of every action.

Receive and pass cleanly into a small target.
Sprint 10–15 yards with intent.
Use a double movement to create separation before receiving.

Timing, body shape, speed and pass quality.

Preseason is where you repeat the basics until you can execute them at match speed, even when you are tired.
