The learning process while coaching professional players is bidirectional. Not only do the players learn from the coach, but the coach learns from the players. The greater the ability of the coach is to learn from the players, the greater are the chances to build a successful team.

Preparation and capacity to adapt are the key in today's football. This is how I structure the coaching process:

1) Analysis
2) Planning
3) Training
4) Adaptability
5) Data collection

STYLE OF PLAY - PRINCIPLES

1. 11 PLAYERS ATTACK AND 11 PLAYERS DEFEND.

2. PROMOTE SPEED OF PLAY: QUICK MOVEMENT OF THE BALL + FAST PLAYERS (MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY).

3. REDUCE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PLAYERS TO HAVE A BETTER CONTROL OF THE BALL AND MINIMIZE MISTAKES.

4. ENCOURAGE 1v1 SKILLS TO CREATE SEPARATION FROM THE OPPONENT.

5. REWARD CONFIDENT, DETERMINED AND AGGRESSIVE PLAYERS.

6. DEVELOP TACTICAL UNDERSTANDING - CREATE NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE.

7. UTILISE A FLEXIBLE FORMATION TO EXPLOIT THE OPPONENT'S WEAKNESSES.

8. AVOID TOO MUCH MOVEMENT OF THE PLAYERS BY RESPECTING THEIR TACTICAL POSITION.

9. REDUCE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE LINES DEFENSIVELY TO DENY SPACE.

10. EMPHASIZE URGENCY INSIDE BOTH PENALTY AREAS.
