Michael Carrick's first session at Manchester United as Head Coach:
⚠️This thread isn't the rod to beat or the jewel to crown Carrick with, I'll leave agenda to certain other pages.
Manchester United release training footage that's not activation or rondo's for the first time in 14 months, which we will celebrate by unravelling it
In the 🧶 you will find
🗒️ SESSION DESIGN: what are they doing
🔍 DETAILS: how and why are they doing it
The purpose is to give background to the "unknown tangibles" - the details beyond the surface level which I hope to deliver using my experience and knowledge.
📆 WEEKLY CYCLE
Manchester United have one game per week this season, allowing them to have the traditional full week training cycle. The players were off for Monday & Tuesday, came back in on Wednesday which is supposedly when this footage was taken.
The next game is on Saturday, making this a MATCHDAY-3 training - the furthest removed from both games.
This is therefore the physically heaviest loaded session; often a STRENGTH day - the aim is to create tension in the muscles more than the other days, allowing maximal recovery between games.
💪FOOTBALL STRENGTH
is to maintain a posture with resistance, playing duels (tackling, closing down), shooting. 15-20' of resistance training in the gym can also be included.
I hope the power of the internet can help me reach more people.
I'm currently writing a paper: "Is CSR a luxury for the elite, or a necessity for smaller clubs?"
I would like to have a couple, brief, interviews with CSR-officers in football clubs.
Thank you!
@guillaumevdwege It was oke, first 60 minutes it really showed a lack of striker presence, there wasn't one on the field. Too much "trying to pass it in the goal".
Sesko coming on was good, Ugarte when Arsenal is sitting back so heavily made no sense.
(Never makes sense him coming on)
@guillaumevdwege "He was more dormant than dominant in the box but still partnered with Maguire for our best defensive record in the last decade"
Says more about our defence than him.
Belgium's rise since being relegated is impressive.
Not only on 15s level but also 7s.
Rugby from grassroots to top level has changed slow, steady, and natural with great local support.
Let's hope we can top it off with RWC Qualification.
- 🇬🇪 win 14th title in 15 years (only 2 losses in that time the last of which was 8 years ago).
- 🇪🇸🇷🇴🇵🇹 are some variation of 2nd/3rd/4th for 6th consecutive year.
- 🇧🇪 is top 5 for first time since 2019.
- 🇨🇭 wins first ever REC match to avoid bottom.

@TheFergusonWay Have you ever considered the following:
Manchester United signs names that are created because they performed in a certain system.
The scouting has been below level to see if they can sustain Premier League pressure, speed, and physicality.
@Yaniteddiff @dancashworth @guillaumevdwege Not really, it shouldn’t be a different case.
If we don’t allow coaches to act like him, than there is never going to be anybody like him.
@KieranMaguire@POF_POD@kevinhunterday Just had a swift look at what PL teams loaned in during January, higher value players compared to last year.
Also some planning for summer already?
Do we see a shift in transfer policy, loan in players for couple months and see if they fit the system? Or coincidence?
