Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson wants change in the rules regarding coaching of under 16’s
Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has asked the Premier League and Football Association chiefs to reconsider the rules which prevent coaches from working with players below 16 years of age for more than 90 minutes a day. The United boss believes that this handicap is a huge part of the reason why teams in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 are more in tune with each other than their English counterparts.
The Red Devils faced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904. The trio effortlessly passed the ball around the pitch, cutting through the United back four like a knife through butter.
In the aftermath of that decimation, Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that his side were out-played. Now the Scot has identified one of the key pillars of Barcelona’s passing game. The Red Devils boss believes that Barcelona’s strong coaching setup from a very early age helps instil a sense of the game, something which English coaches are being prevented from doing.
Speaking on the matter, Ferguson said, "People have to understand the mechanics of the industry we are working in. We are only allowed to coach youngsters for an hour and a half, they [Barcelona] can coach every hour of the day if they want to. That's the great advantage they have got. It is a fantastic philosophy.
He added, "We hope that in years to come our coaches will be able to spend more time with young kids, to teach them the basics, the technical abilities and the confidence to keep the ball all the time. We are good at it, but not as good as Barcelona at this moment in time.”
Manchester United’s Champions League disappointment will be tempered by the fact that they lifted the 2010/11 Barclays Premier League crown. That title marked their 19th League win, which has made them the most successful English club in history.
