@trickyreds14 You may all laugh, be surprised by this but as a coach at a Spanish club, I can tell you.... He is much better than you think. Spain played an outrageous amount of crosses against Georgia, but hey. Twitter knows better.

As I see the applications for UEFA in the UK. I'm so grateful for the opportunities that Spain has given me. It will be difficult for some of you, my only advice is to find a way.

I'm sure many of you have seen this before, but the truth is 99% of the conversations/articles I read regarding this are void of practical information. So lets avoid the fluff in this thread #SundayShare

A good example is the drill below. Nothing special, but if the midfielders can't receive the ball or the defenders can't filter the ball through, then just make the square bigger/reduce difficulty.

@Zonal_Marking I think it depends on your reason for watching football. Tactically superb games, technically, poor. The days of mazy runs through the middle are long gone, the wonder goals are far less frequent, as all the goalkeepers look like they ate the 90's GKs.

@Jon_Mackenzie From a coaches perspective, this is hard to see. What exactly it represents is difficult to know without all the information. However, I see a pass map that needs to go to hospital.

@stirling_j The core problem you've got Jamie, is that people find it difficult you've coined this term. However, if a top manager comes out tomorrow and uses it then they'll very quickly adapt. I don't believe it's your definition that is the issue.

Liverpool Academy boss Alex Inglethorpe on working with players - Engage, challenge, support. As coaches we're all probably great at challenging, but are we providing enough support? Are we building rapport and encouraging our player to engage?

1.2 Players should be challenged regularly to explain in the training session to their teammates., I usually select 3 players each week who have the responsibility of taking two minutes with the head coach beforehand, communicating, and understanding.

Finally, 1.6 - Use feedback in sessions to ask players questions, probe them, to regulate learning, and ask them how other players could improve, not just themselves. Quick/sharp feedback. Don't overtalk.

@ground_guru I think its a cultural issue. In other countries, going to new places, coaching in different environments is a huge plus. When was the last time a young English coach who wasn't a big-name ex-player got a push?

The aim is to create cognitive (mental) DIFFICULTIES. Make them think, so to do that, make things easier/more difficult mid-session, it improves learning speeds, keeps players on their feet and keeps it fresh.

1.2.1 - Players should be able to debate, discuss, argue and eventually agree with your tactical discipline. It should be an open dialogue, an open conversation. Freeze them out and they won't understand, they will resent the instructions.

Using a short game in the first 1/3 to tempt opponents forward is an amazing tactic, if you have the players for it!

@SundayShare10 How do you give them information without overloading? How to create more tactically aware players? How to create players who can speak, communicate, demand and dictate play all at the same time? It's all about the cognitive challenge we give the players!
