Although Gary Neville is only at the beginning of their training, it is already working on it to patch stuck to his coach-progressive. I discovered this the players Valencia, which leads Englishman recently.
Ciudad Deportiva de Paterna . Valencia’s training center. Footballers “Bats” are preparing for the next training session under the watchful eye of new coach, Gary Neville and his assistants – brother Phil and Miguel Angel Angulo . Changing the coach, of course, brought with it changes in the way the training. That Neville will have to Valencia different idea than its predecessor, Nuno Espirito Santo , athletes could be expected, which quickly found its reflection on the training pitch. However, none of them has been able to predict that on that day the coach will make them some, quite unusual surprise. And that’s before they get out of the locker room and go to the match.
When the door to the locker room opened, the players saw them Neville. There would be nothing unusual fact – it’s their coach – were it not that the Englishman was carrying under his arm more than two dozen brand new iPads Pro. One for each of the first team players.
– Yes, Gary gave each of the contestants iPad – confirmed Angulo at today’s press conference before the game the Cup of Barakaldo. – Why? Above all, that competitors better understand what Gary has to pass them and what is expected of them and thereby improve training – added the former Valencia midfielder excellent, and is currently a member of the coaching staff elder brother Neville’ów .
According to the Neville iPads to help him overcome the language barrier with which it handled at least another Briton, released recently from Real Sociedad David Moyes . Neville’s priority is to make his players to fully understand all of what he has to pass them, ranging from patterns of training exercises for detailed instructions Match. The idea is to reach the players. To have a guarantee that his tactical concepts are fully understood and hence – it will be able to be effectively applied in practice. With iPadom communication with the players has become easier, allow more illustrative “art” to outline what Neville required of them. Almost as he did so on Monday evenings in SkySports , while in the Monday Night Football have repeatedly tapping on the big touchscreen reproached screen errors, praised and – above all – explained the tactical intricacies.
– We want to play attacking football, but also one that is orderly and organized. We want every player knows what his role and what are the tasks on the pitch, as it should be to get around. We expect from them that they are going to implement our concept both when the team is in possession of the ball, and when they have her opponents – said Angulo.
In the previous two games, led by Neville Valencia lost against Lyon (0: 2) and drew with Eibar (1: 1). But more importantly, the effect of the new broom had here to deal not only with regard to the results, but above all to the game itself. Nevertheless, it was hard to expect that Neville from one day to be able to change that leaves much to be desired style. In addition to improved performance, of course, is just to give Valencia a new football identity is expected from Neville. And this is subordinated to “Operation iPad”. To the team as soon as possible, he learned the foundation of his football philosophy. On devices will be installed special applications, through which the coaching staff will communicate with each of the players individually. The message has to be individualized . Players will get through applications specific instructions for their boiskowych roles and tasks, eg. As to how they move in the attack phase, as in the phase of defense, and as a transitional phase.
Cost? “Only” 25,000 euro. Entirely financed by Neville. From the club – even though iPads will be used by athletes Valencia – does not want or Euro cents.
