Interesting setup yes . Lewis is already quite two footed and capable with ball . I’m not aware of him having played CDMInteresting we started Mayo, Breen & Finlayson btw.
Doubt it was 3-5-2 as we started 3 full backs (Maxwell probably at his original position left wing) and Kennedy.
So one of the centre backs may of been playing CDM, trying to improve Mayo’s ability on the ball?
By feck, we really do need it just now.
Previously, the question was always “ what happens to our players in between youth and first team”?Some result this. We certainly appear to have some talented youths in this age group.
This really is my point.Rangers will win convincingly but in a few years Ajax will sell a few of they players for hundreds of millions pounds probably Haha.
James came to rangers when jimmy Nicholl came in again ,James was at Falkirk with him,naturally a left wing but being converted into a modern fullback by the looks of thingsThe kid maxwell came on at LB v Chelsea
Definitely liked the look of him
Don’t know much about him other than looked good on that occasion.
I played on the left so have a soft spot when I see talented left footers
Hope he kicks on
I thought I’d seen somewhere James maxwell had missed a large chunk of seasons on injuries which are now cleared is that correct ?James came to rangers when jimmy Nicholl came in again ,James was at Falkirk with him,naturally a left wing but being converted into a modern fullback by the looks of things
The danger is always the money and prestige the English academies can offer but yes, a good youth academy would be huge for the club.Ajax scored a free kick, penalty & a header.
Fantastic result. Youth system just keeps improving & improving.
Very interesting to see the levels it can reach if we keep the right people in charge
We can negate the financial advantage to a point by replicating the loan system used by these clubs but, more so, getting players to the first team.The danger is always the money and prestige the English academies can offer but yes, a good youth academy would be huge for the club.
Johan Cruyff, who died in 2016, is considered the finest exponent of the 'Total Football' philosophy, a style of play pioneered by the Netherlands team of the 1970s. He managed Jordi during the formative years of his son's playing career at Barcelona in the early 1990s.
When you see and hear the emotion people have when they talk about my father, I know he was a special man.
When he came to Barcelona it was a difficult time politically. He came with the chains and the long hair and a free spirit, not caring about the past. Many people remember that attitude he had. Others remember the courage he had to play how he wanted, no matter what. Even when he didn't win trophies he still had that same way of playing.
It's symbolic to have the mini-stadium at Barcelona named after him because it's the last step before going to the first team and my father was well known as a coach who wanted to give opportunities to young players.
I find myself thinking about my dad a lot when I am thinking about certain decisions now I'm a manager. When I do that I usually go for the young player or the most offensive player!
Interesting that Ajax have marked the pitch into sections.
What is the thinking behind this?
Yeah, I assume it is to help with pitch geography (No need for a Mark Warburton joke here.), but I just wonder how it is used as a tool to teach young players, unless there is some other reason for them?I'd be interested to hear about this too. You'd assume it's for players to know their positions when the ball is in certain areas of the field or something along those lines.
