Interesting read on Ancelotti backroom staff's approach to training

[alvinh]

Very interesting read. If you think about it their methods seem entirely logical. I was not surprised to see our players pick up more injuries after that Chelsea game. I can't remember us playing with such intensity on and off the ball for 90mins. I thought to myself you can't do that for 38 games! Also I would expect the players to become disheartened and become reluctant to buy into such dangerous playing methods. I believe if Duncan had been given the job there would've been problems down the line in terms of players not being able to match big Duncs expectations of work rate. I mean what players want to self sabotage their careers by hurting themselves! That type of intensity, ie players hunting in packs, plenty of aggression and hoof ball tactics would be better suited to one off cup football knockout games.

Now my concern is that there is no doubt that the core of the Everton fan base appreciate hard work over anything else. If results go the wrong way I can imagine fans blaming this new coaching regime cos the players haven't ran through brick walls for them! Football at the highest levels is not all about blood and bluster. It will take time to put this new philosophy into place. I fear these forward thinking coaching innovators will be chastised as likely escape goats should results not go in our favour. You see Evertonians don't so much mind losing as long as they can see their players have run marathons for them. It may force Carlo to try something different that will appease our fans for sure.

He may alter his approach slightly considering the physical nature of the English league? He's experienced that already at Chelsea so it won't come as a surprise anyway.

You have to pay to read?

Erm, no that's why it's a free acount.

Do you know what pressreader is?

Normally you have to pay if you don't have a library card, and it's access to thousands of magazines and newspapers from around the world online.

There’s no excuses left for this lot now. Half of them have seen off 4 managers, but Carlo is the best we will ever get.

Is anyone concerned about this and with the players going revolt at Munich.

In short, no. I’m not saying it was inevitable, but after Pep and his ‘intense’ fitness regimes it isn’t surprising that some players felt his methods ‘lacking’.

Have they been questioned elsewhere? Is it a common trend? From all I’ve read, including the above, it was an exception rather than the rule.

So you have to pay... Normally

Hm Yes. Which is why it's good to get a free account with the library card.

How much is a library card though?

Good read that but this thread has basically gone into:

 

[blueloon]

There appears to be a slight confusion around the Fitness Coach , we are getting Francesco Muri who indeed has been with Carlo since their Real Madrid days, but it is his father Giovanni Muri who has been with him from way back , including the Chelsea days. Giovanni retired after Bayern . Francesco at about 30, won’t have had experience of fitness levels in the PL as he wasn’t around in the Chelsea days.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

I'll not be surprised at all if Ancelotti likes Schneiderlin as a player....I think he'll get the best out of him.

Awaits ridicule....

A good read, in my opinion and a really logical approach to training. Parts I found interesting:

Clear as mud.

Sounds like somebody’s blagged a way to relieve a wealthy club of some of its dosh.

Basically the opposite of Dunc's view. Said it before that the passion and fury thing works for a while but the players won't keep chasing especially if they get a hiding or two.

It is eminently sensible try and keep the ball and do less running, that way the players have the mental capacity to make better decisions/finishes when they aren't out on their feet.
