MANCHESTER UNITED'S HIGH SPEED OF PLAY TRAINING - WAVES OF ATTACKS PDF
MANCHESTER UNITED'S HIGH SPEED OF PLAY:Speed, Power, Penetration and Unpredictability.
Sir Alex Ferguson said, “I like to be entertained while watching Manchester
United play and we have an obligation to the fans to be entertaining.”
Sir Alex and I came up with our expectations together for Manchester United
to attack with SPEED, POWER, PENETRATION and UNPREDICTABILITY.”
If you analyse Manchester United’s attacking style of play during my time as
First Team Coach (2007-2013), you will see all 4 of these elements over and
over again.
Speed
⊲ Training at a high intensity with a high speed of play.
⊲ Ability of attacking players to run past opponents.
⊲ One touch interplay, give-and-go, movement, and runs in behind.
Power
⊲ Strength of the players to overcome challenges.
⊲ Powerful runs to go past or in behind opponents.
⊲ Dynamic, powerful and quick reactions in the transition phases.
Penetration
⊲ Forward passes or carrying the ball into the space in front of you.
⊲ Play through the opposition's midfield and defensive lines.
⊲ Forward runs in behind the opposition's defensive line.
Unpredictability
⊲ Quick 1/2 touch combinations with good movement and runs in behind.
⊲ Switch play to change angle of attack for chance to cross or create 1v1/2v2 situations.
⊲ Ability to beat opponents in 1v1 situations through speed, skill, and disguise.
