just landed Erik Ten Hag at Old Trafford and the English press already knows the thorough working method of the former Ajax manager, who came to bring back the Man Utd to shine as famous as in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson at the helm.
And this is the comparison they have of Dutch with English in this sense, the methods of work. ‘Mirror’ points out that Ten Hag asked to cut the grass of the training ground and stadium to favor fast play: exactly 15 millimeters. In addition, he would order a joint meal every day after training to promote team spirit.
The information also indicates that Ten Hag does not believe in hard physical workouts to start the campaign, but will work on the ball with the team to improve technique. The first two days of pre -season will include fitness tests before moving on to the double session with the ball – they will run with the ball instead of just asking them to run around the arena.
Steve McClaren, former England manager now at Derby County, said of him: “In terms of change in football, he was second to none. He did work ethic and is now a better coach and manager “It’s earlier than its time, even in Holland. The only one I’ll see do that is Sir Alex Ferguson.”
And he explained an anecdote: “I knew the preseason was going to start the next day and I said to Erik: ‘Did you fix our first day?’ Over the next two hours he told me about six weeks of pre-season work. “
