I’d love to see a day in the life of Unai. Ultimately, I think he lives and breathes the game, but then he has a way to distil all of that knowledge down in a way that the players can understand and act upon.
He is like a v effective teacher: having all of that knowledge is one thing, but being able to communicate it in little practical changes here and there is next level. I don’t just think he’s a good football coach, I think he’s a remarkably intelligent man. I guess Arsene Wenger was like this too.
I am sorry to bring him up, but the comparison with Stevie G (and many other former players in management) is instructive. He just cannot begin to appreciate how Unai sees the game; let alone communicate this to the players.
