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’ 🧵

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
