Dear
@LUFC
fans, sadly my time at this historic club has come to an end. The Elland Road experience was unique and I can’t stress how privileged I felt in the dugout. The staff and people at the club carry this energy with them every day to work & it’s what made working with them
Thank you,
@CelticFC
, for hosting this game tonight. What an amazing atmosphere, historical stadium & great club. Bowing to the fans, priviliged for the experience.
Great feeling to finally start at
@LUFC
! Very grateful to
@jessemarsch
,
@andrearadri
& Victor Orta for offering me such a chance at a club with great environment, fans, people & history. The first impressions are amazing, Elland Road feels great. Side before self — every time!
You never cease to amaze me but somehow I am never surprised. A living paradox as usual,
@ErlingHaaland
. You are inevitable & people underestimate how hard maintaining this can be. Just do your thing…only keep your christmas gifts for yourself this year.
#ALAW
The lads showed some
#graft
today. Satisfying performance & unbelievable atmosphere, too. Thank you all for such an amazing support. Just great, great fans in the stadium, & some more of them from home. Preparation for the next game starting now, though.

The magic of Elland Road. What a stadium, what an atmosphere. Unbelievable. Great job by the lads to never doubt, never stop working & getting rewarded in such spectacular fashion. Amazing team spirit.
the results will come already this week. Thanks to
@andrearadri
, Victor & Angus for the long support even under the pressure of the results & some performances. Even if it’s not MOT anymore, it’s still ALAW & I will be at Elland Road between the fans to support this amazing club.
In some way a thirteen year long journey has not quite reached an end but an intermediate goal. That’s when coaching started for me in Handenberg on amateur level before moving to various clubs & cultures in the following years & finishing the UEFA Pro now with great lecturers &
Naiv, emotional & unbedacht. Über 90 Minuten habe ich mir Lunge & Kehle rausgebrüllt, nachdem wir von Früh bis Spät das Spiel vorbereiteten. Nach Schlusspfiff stand ich am anderen Ende der Coachingzone & ein ehemaliger Spieler ist als Einziger & nach Minuten zum Trösten gekommen.
so special. I’m sorry that I couldn’t contribute more & further as it wasn’t possible to instill some of the different ideas the club envisioned for that great group of highly talented players that surely will be successful in the future. There is no doubt in my eyes. Hopefully
Due to a lot of questions: I will be moving to
@borussia
in summer, as long as the clubs trigger my release clause (only a formality). Thus, I'll be moving with Marco Rose,
@paei87
& Alex Zickler. But there's work left to do
@RedBullSalzburg
which is the most important right now.
Interesting to read comparisons between Guardiola‘s & De Zerbi‘s style. Besides obvious similarities, there are intriguing differences. Intentions might be similar, but How they achieve What they intend is quite different. For instance, Guardiola controls the rhythm by the speed
Rondo with possibility to switch the zone after four passes, 2-1 touches. Great quality by the players
@RedBullSalzburg
- and of course the great Alexander Zickler! As you can see I am watching in awe.
Great last experience at Elland Road with my former (non-league) players able to watch the game with me. The atmosphere amazing as usual & will stay with me forever. Gutted that it ended without a point but with performances like this relegation will be far away. Good bye,
@LUFC
.
Reading this on my timeline & have to say something: Elland Road is so amazing, great, great fans. Thanks so much. Just unbelievable & playing a huge part in the lads‘ amazing performance, but we have to reward ourselves, that’s up to us! Got to continue improving. MOT, always!
My interview with
@teiteteemaer

Glad to be able to talk about football, incl. a definition of what „tactics“ are, objective principles of the game, general training methodology or my specific approach to coaching.
He’s quite complete. Normally best as
#10
, but can play as forward/striker or winger, too. In our first season
@RedBullSalzburg
we even used him twice as wingback, in our second season he was an 8 in 4-diamond-2 a few times. Very smart, great scorer, agile & technically good.
Themen: Gesundheit, dass wir besser waren, dass wir diese Leistung häufiger & konstanter bringen wollen, Necken über seine vergebenen Torchancen & Gespräch über alte Salzburgzeiten. Ich war & bin so angefressen+traurig, dass ich nicht an irgendwelche Kameras denken konnte. Dumm.
Congratulations to
@borussia
&
@FohlenStall
for supporting the dream of a young player moving from the youngest age group to the 1st team at his home club. Rare & special achievement by/for all coaches, team mates & staff involved! That's why we play & coach this beautiful game.
Tonight I extended my contract as assistant coach
@RedBullSalzburg
till 31th May 2021. I'm VERY grateful for the club's support & trust since the day I signed my 1st contract in the academy more than 2 years ago, especially to Marco Rose,
@paei87
, Ernst Tanner & Christoph Freund.
I had my 1st dose in late spring, my 2nd in summer (BioNTech). Felt tired & slighly sore the night of both shots, but slept better than usual. Worst I’ve heard from people I know (n~45) is fever for 1 day & 2 nights (AZ). I‘d welcome a 3rd dose if it enhances protection vs Delta.
People who have gotten vaccinated please share your experience so we can retweet. Aggressively.
The narrative of unconfirmed disproportionate horror stories is flooding the socials and it’s causing a lot of hesitancy.
@BetweenThePosts
If you want to use formations as a tool to describe a team, personally I'd say anyways to use the formation out of possession as the deciding factor for it. Why? Because positional changes, rotations, asymmetries, etc. are less common, esp. intentionally, in the defending phase.
Dieses Jahr mache ich meinen persönlichen Adventskalender. Alle Follower können jeden Tag eine Frage stellen, die ich beantworte, & einen guten Zweck angeben, an den ich 100 Euro spende. Fragen, die ich nicht beantworten kann/darf, filtere ich & wähle per Zufallswahl die Frage 🙂
@swearimnotpaul
it's hilarious how people react to a comment like this about something so obvious but most people would not care if I'd write an essay about Christian Streich or Steffen Baumgart being amazing
Something I learnt as a coach: All the knowledge on highly specific details can sound very intriguing, but should be mostly collected by oneself, not copied from others. Learn from the game, from your players, from yourself whilst reflecting principles & fundamentals from others.
A quick Q to my followers: I started a type of mentoring project to (financially) enable education for minorities and/or countries with lesser opportunities to do their next coaching licence (B&A respectively). If this reminds you of someone who also should benefit from something
Very cool. Marcel is one of the most insightful guys I have ever talked with and about football. His amount of detailed knowledge is very rare & was an eyeopener a few years ago. Interesting development
@Arsenal
in general, btw.
Marcel Lucassen (55) gaat aan de slag bij Arsenal. De Venlonaar heeft een driejarig contract getekend bij de Londense topclub en gaat per 1 augustus werken als Directeur Voetbalontwikkeling
The book is not in English - but this gives me an idea. Any translator for German to English, ideally with some understanding of sports science and football, without a job right now? Payment by myself and guaranteed.
All the best,
@jacko55555
! Congratulations to you, but also to
@MKDonsFC
, who are getting a fantastic coach, a wonderful person & one of the best people you can imagine working with. From my 1st moment here, I felt your passion for
@LUFC
& football. Grateful for the time w/ you!
of passing whilst De Zerbi does it by the moment of the passes; Guardiola progresses (mainly) by carrying the ball without pressure after creating/finding the unpressured player with a lot of passes whereas De Zerbi lures with the carry to progress with the pass past opponents.
What a tie, what a team. Great players with unbelievable qualities, not only on the pitch. Honored & proud. Celebrating a successful hunt...after Sunday‘s game, right
@paei87

Just watching our U12
@borussia
. The boys playing with a lot of fun & joy, very confident technically & brave tactically in possession. Coaching each other a lot in a positive manner. A very encouraging aspect in youth team football. Well done / coached by

Es ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit für so einen Verein arbeiten zu dürfen, dafür bin ich der Borussia wie eh & je dankbar & wie schon immer will ich jede Partie gewinnen, investiere jede Woche fast dreistellig Stunden dafür. Umso mehr ärgere ich mich über mich selbst, dass aus
Naja über Taktgefühl lässt sich ja streiten, aber vielleicht sollten sie wenn sie die Fanszene verfolgen, doch mal darüber nachdenken, wie so etwas wirkt und nicht nur bei den “Dummkoepfen”, die auch ihr Gehalt über Dauerkarten und anderes mitfinanzieren.

Invincible.
Great, insightful video by
@ElGee35
about "Basketball's most overlooked skill | Moving without the ball". Useful for reflection, a lot of principles are the same as in football/soccer. How early, frequently and do you become a passing or scoring option?
meiner Emotionalität (Enttäuschung, Wut) & Naivität solche Einzelstandbilder entstehen konnten; ich weiß, dass dies bei den Fans in diesem Moment negativ & eben falsch wirkt. Ich werde die Beleidigungen insofern mit gewissem Verständnis auf- & die Verantwortung dafür übernehmen.
Everybody should follow this account to learn from history.

Champions of Austria! Thanks to the amazing players
@RedBullSalzburg
, so grateful for them & proud. Also thanks for the support within the club & to the whole staff, especially the medical staff, Marco himself & of course
@paei87
doing fantastic work.
Mbappé is the most similar player I've seen so far to
@Ronaldo
back in his Inter & Barcelona days. Decision making, technical execution & physical ability enable him to play in a different way to most players, choose different options that make him hard to predict. Spectacular.
A bit of time travel & nostalgia: The club where I started when I was four years old doesn‘t exist anymore. It was home for many children of „Zuagroaste“, our parents working in the coal mine of the town. Our goal’s now fixed for the 1st time, thanks to nature. Proper grassroots.
Unglaublich. Jetzt wird vom Betroffenen „emotionale Kontrolle“ in einer solchen Situation gefordert, anstatt sich mit Tätern bzw. Hintergründen kritisch auseinanderzusetzen & klar dagegen zu stellen. Das Problem ist nicht
@Jordanynany
’s Reaktion, sondern dieser kranke Rassismus.
The day after.
I have received so many messages and just wanted to thank everyone, yet it‘s not me who anyone should be concerned with but our players.
They are the most important in everything I work for. Everything that happens belongs to them, it is their beautiful game.
Weil Erfolge erstmals Fans & Spielern gehören. Die Jungs performen, setzen um & halten ihre Knochen hin. Da ist man als Co-Trainer auch einfach mal Fan, hält sich zurück & feiert die Jungs von der anderen Seite. Lars hat uns ja dann dazu geholt; diese Einladung ist ein Privileg.

Wahnsinn, welche Qualität die Bayern in allem zeigen; Organisation, Abläufe, jeder einzelne Spieler. Das beginnt beim Aufdrehen im Zentrum (Thiago), geht übers Nachschieben der Kette & den Positionen der Flügel (Verlagerungen) bis zu den Tiefgangvarianten. Hut ab, Herr Heynckes.
I thought the German players analyzed it pretty well after the game by themselves. If you commit too many players too high and do not stagger them on the pitch properly, you'll have a lack of coverage if you lose the ball. If you commit too many players where the ball is, space
Looking forward to reading this book by
@raymondverheije
. His approach to thinking about football has often enough helped me to gain insight into ways of learning from the game or reflecting myself. This new book from
@FootballCoachEv
should not be an exception to the rule.
Dann (ebenfalls) einen großen Dank an Fans/Kurve, die uns trotz starker vergangener Saison & Kontext nach diesem Sommer so offen & positiv hier bei
@borussia
aufgenommen hat. Das ist keineswegs selbstverständlich & das wissen wir auch. Danke dafür, Trainerstab fühlt sich wohl🙂
Fantastic Q. On paper every player should do an offensive action when his team's in possession. Yet on pitch it might look differently: So, a player could do an defensive action while his team's 'attacking'. Look at this goal from Piszczek, who switches from off to def perfectly:
@ReneMaric
If those three (protect, demand and create) are the first principles from which everything else is derived, where does players behind the ball (i.e. rest defence) fit in?
Essentially what are those players thinking within your model when they take up rest positions?
