catanzaro Posted December 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2023 This may have been mentioned before.. but one thing I’ve noticed that really works for Unai in terms of coaching players is that he gives them a run in the team even if they are struggling a bit.. then pulls them out for four or five weeks and then when they come back to the team again they have really improved.. He allows the players to reflect on their game and how they fit in to our system and then builds them up again in training sessions.. I think he did it with Cash early on and Bailey this season.. I’m expecting Zaniolo to have a great come back probably in January 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bit of insight on Emery with John saying he's good for days off letting the squad have time away, but when you're in at the training ground you're there to work. "Intense" he replied when asked to describe working with Emery. Also said something like "You match his intensity or he's made it clear he'll bring in people who will" Great stuff. Especially the days off. He's not a nutter who expects 24/7/365 focus, but when it is time, you listen, learn and work. I’ve seen McGinn mention this a few times, in terms of Unai making clear his standards will be met or he’ll bring in new players. Unai also mentioned it in an interview recently. Seems very iron fist but I guess this is what he means by being demanding. He is pushing them to their limits to see who has what it takes to take us where we need to be. Very odd feeling to have this kind of mentality at the heart of our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly galvanising - you can see what it means to them to play for such an elite-level manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simply shocking. If either of the two teams we've just dispatched played that move the press would be short stroking it around as a new type of football. Genius at work. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Saunders was also an iron fist. If the players have the right character they will rise to the challenge. If they don't, they know where the door is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted December 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2023 As well as being a footballing genius, I'm just glad he doesn't act like a complete arsehole nor a baby who spends hours brushing his eyebrows. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how you keep players on side when hosting 2 hour meetings about a Bosnian side they've never heard of and will never see again. That, plus huge upturn in results obvz.
