The more weapons a player has in their armoury to ‘outwit’ opponents the more enjoyment they have - a ‘moving screen’ - disguising to receive then letting the ball run ‘going against the flow’ of a marker while moving & screening the ball takes game craft to a new level

A clip of me coaching ‘safe turns’ to Man Utd U18s including Marcus Rashford & Scott McTominay - now I’d set it up differently practicing in the area of the pitch it occurs - in ‘play around rings’ at the back, in midfield or around the box replicating the match scenarios below

Manchester United counter attack goal reminded me of my mentor & ‘Class of 92’ coach Eric Harrison who used to say United teams should attack like the “RED ARROWS” lightening speed, instant support, interchanging runs, precision passing & finishing leaving the opposition in their wake

Running with the ball leaves a vacuum of space that you’ve vacated that can be exploited by a teammate arriving behind you - I remember clearly the Brazilian Junior in 1981 at Wembley running with the ball, back-heeling it to a trailing teammate then sprinting ahead for a pass

Apparently at PSG when mannequins were set up Messi said, “I need a defender to read his movement, to time my move” “To unbalance a defender it’s more about bringing him with you, then feint & move sideways” Like asking a chess Grandmaster to practice by playing draughts 🤷🏻‍♂️

Haaland’s goal vs Gabriel reminded me of coaching sessions by Don Howe (ex-Arsenal & England) delivered - ‘Closer to goal the closer you mark, get touch tight - if you look at the ball but can’t feel him then quickly get touch tight again’ - ‘bump him, disrupt his balance’ 🧵

The ‘moving screen’ deceiving your marker by using body language to receive but then with ‘small late movements’ letting the ball run against or across your opponents’s flow - at the same time using your body as a barrier between your opponent & the ball creating a moving screen

Joshua Kimmich played vs my Man Utd U18 team in a 6v6 tournament - he ran the whole game - like a coach on the pitch organising teammates in to position & timing changes of rhythm & deciding when to entice or commit opponents - he confirmed to me the value of small sided games

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever had was ‘get in the room with top coaches - watch & listen’ I had the privilege of attending numerous coaching demonstrations by Don Howe & in the video below working with Mike Phelan to bring Don’s advice to life in a coaching session

England need a ‘secret code’ like basketball’s ‘Triangle offence’ below an intention to coordinate runs in & around the box, at present the build up consists of ‘single passes’ but no clear trigger to initiate ‘the moment of truth’ no change in speed & body language to combine

Pippo Inzaghi ‘Predatory Goalscorer crafty’ goals - they’re not by accident he regularly runs / blends in to the line of the shot to deflect it in - reminds me of having to read those shots playing ‘Wembley knock out’ / ‘World Cup’ in the playground when ‘defections’ counted 🎯

‘Skills have history’ I asked Scholesy what he was doing age 11, he replied ‘probably drinking cider on a street corner & playing football’. It’s hard to know if he was joking, I bet there was some truth in it! Skill development is environment - task - player capabilities 🧵
