According to the British " Sun " report, the new Manchester United coach Ten Hag has developed a set of strict guidelines and clearly stated his expectations during his first meeting with the players last Monday.

According to the British

Ten Hag is keen to recreate the attacking football that United enjoyed success under Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson . The 52-year-old Ten Hag and his assistant coach McLaren listed five major principles for the players:

1. No back passes or cross passes are allowed during training. If you do not pass the ball forward, you will be disqualified from training;

2. Players must eliminate the negative body language that was common last season, such as spreading hands, waving arms, being dejected, etc., and display more positive body language;

3. Cliques are prohibited in the locker room and factional struggles are eliminated;

4. If senior players perform If it is not good, young players will have the opportunity to replace them;

5, past honors and salary amounts will not affect the lineup selection, and the level of training performance determines who will play.

According to the British

A source told The Sun: "Players have to try to push forward and do one-touch or two-touch drills, which raises a lot of concerns. If a player is crossing the ball too often, he will pass the ball back. Stop training and let the players reflect for a minute or two. "

Of course, how it works in training is one thing, and whether it can be implemented in real games is another matter. Everything needs to be tested in actual combat. Solskjaer and Rangnick were also reported to have adopted various "positive changes" when they first coached. Many of them were obviously publicity strategies deployed by the club, but in the end both coaches ended in failure.

The source said: "It's just the beginning but the players are ready. When he talks, everyone, absolutely everyone listens. The training sessions are tough but enjoyable. Lots of one-touch , two touches of the ball, quick passing and forward movement. He told the players that the best way to defend is to keep the ball. He hopes to exhaust the opponent by keeping the ball and passing the ball quickly. Manchester United has not reached this point. This level is because pre-season training has just begun."

"In addition, a lot of actual combat is also needed to improve the level required for this style of play. Some players' stopping and passing are not up to standard, but Ten Hag and the coaching staff have been consistent. Encourage them. A lot of players had a bad season at the end and couldn't relax in the summer because they were frustrated and some weren't looking forward to coming back because the atmosphere in the locker room was bad, but the fog has lifted and everyone is enjoying themselves again. Their footsteps became excited again, and they felt united. "

At the beginning of Manchester United's training camp, more than ten youth training players participated, including "new C Ronaldo " Alejandro Ganaccio, and Ten Hag also encouraged. They fought tooth and nail to get upstream. Last week, midfielder Zidane Iqbal officially announced his contract extension, which is said to be a move authorized by Ten Hag. The source explained: "A lot of young players also participated in the training. Ten Hag was impressed by Iqbal and did not understand why he was not more involved with the first team in the past. Ten Hag tried to remind the senior players that their Positions may be replaced. If efforts are not made, players who are willing to implement the coach's instructions will take their place. Everyone has stepped up their game, which is creating healthy competition."

According to the British

Ten Hag also requires players to be completely loyal to the team and coaching staff. , put the interests of the team first, avoid selfish and arrogant behaviors, and avoid leaking internal information in the locker room.
