Coaching Philosophy in Football

And overall for me, it's very important that players,

and that's also

my philosophy, that players understand the game.

I want that I have players on the pitch who really understand

situations, and therefore I want to teach them.

I want to teach the players that they understand this. How do I do it?

It's educating them with my principles.

So I don't want that I teach them by my patterns, play from A to B, from B to C.

For that, like, I think football is too complex and football is getting too

complex. I really want to teach them by the

principles.

And with these principles, they should find solutions on their

own. They should find solutions in, in tight spaces when opponents

press high, when opponents stand low.

And therefore, I really want to educate the players and,

uh, make sure that the

players understand the game, because it doesn't help me as a

coach when I know the game plan. The players have to deliver it.

The players have to feel comfortable in this game plan, and that's why I

really want to have, like, players who understand the game,

and that's within my

identity and my style of play.
