Mackay and Villas-Boas

Wed Jun 22, 2011 7:26 am

Just read the following article about Andre Villas-Boas on the BBC's site and it mentions that both Villas-Boas and Mackay have both studied together on the same UEFA coaching course. Hopefully Malky has stayed in touch and we can pinch a couple of youngsters from Chelski. Bertrand and McEachran would be quality additions. Get in their Malky :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

More importantly, Malky's training methods are not a million miles away from
those of V-B.

Nobody ever scored a goal by picking up a weight or doing 500 sit-ups... train
with the ball, all day every day.

I think after Englands fuck-up in the Under 21s and Stuart Pearce's comments
about 'footballers becoming robots' that the game is going to undergo a right
old overhaul in Britain... its falling behind. The vast majority of flair players
in the Premiership are foreigners.

Perhaps we now have a manager who is a few steps ahead of the rest?? :ayatollah:

Have you seen Villas-Boas pre-match preparation and scouting reports? Talk about attention to detail! Feast your eyes on this...
