Just a quick post... but take a look at this chance that Athletic Bilbao's Andoni Iraola had against Manchester United this past week.
It really shows the difference between the Spanish way of technical training and the British way... here you have a right back, picking up the ball on the edge of the 18, and driving forward, takes on three WORLD CLASS players inside the 18 yard box. He reads Chicharito's slide tackle, pulls a tiny 'Iniesta' move, and while dribblng at speed he performs a sole rip on Johnny Evans then performs the same move on Rio Ferdinand, then looks to stroke the ball into the right kill zone with his left foot... and just missed. The sole rips and Iniesta are both parts of our Phase 1 and 2 footwork program, which you should be getting your players to do as part of your warm up every session!
