A coaching career with all the games you have to play, if you really want to, a top team especially, if you really want to develop a style of football, you are set up to fail.
Because it's like you have no time in the pre-season, the players are everywhere, playing big tournaments, and you only come two weeks before the season starts.
your camp, okay, so let's go from here.
Then you play, top teams play every three days from a specific date on.
We obviously, we lost a lot of finals.
That means we played a lot of finals.
That means we played all the games until the end of the season, which is a lot.
So there's no really time to train and really develop things.
So you have to use each little moment
to implement a specific idea we all can buy into.
And that's what we did.
I loved our first game against Tottenham.
Simon Mignolet had to make a few really good saves, but they had to do as well.
And that year, Tottenham was really strong.
They became second behind Leicester, I think.
It was that season.
If you don't have time to change football, what do you mean?
We are all not geniuses.
We cannot go there and show them a little bit, pass the ball here, pass the ball there.
And if you pass the ball back again, you can shoot and you're alone in front of the goal.
