Bom, comecemos por dar um pouco de contexto.O que há de novo no Man United de Ruben? Discutimos isso amplamente aqui, desde que se juntou ao novo Clube.

O Man United jogou contra o Ipswich Town no domingo e, ontem, enfrentou o Bodø/Glimt para a Liga Europa. É justo dizer que houve 2, no máximo 3 treinos entre estes jogos? Eu diria que sim, no máximo! Mas ontem, começamos a olhar para o Man United e a entender o potencial que Ruben traz consigo. Apenas para deixar algumas estatísticas, percebemos que o United teve 72% de posse de bola, 787 passes (723 concluídos com sucesso), expected-goal de quase… Read

Primeiro jogo feito e o resultado foi um empate 1-1 em Ipswich Town.Certamente não é o melhor resultado, presenciámos algumas atuações chocantes. Mas também, alguns pontos positivos a serem considerados. Em primeiro lugar, a ideia é possível. Zero de notícia aqui. Embora ainda longe da perfeição, a 2a parte deu esperança ao que o futuro desta equipa pode ser, nomeadamente quando tudo se tornar mais automático e o perfil dos jogadores se adequar melhor às necessidades do sistema e da… Read

A Seleçāo Nacional terminou ontem a sua qualificaçāo com um registo muito favorável, com 4 Vitórias e 2 Empates em 6 jogos. Muito melhor do que muitas outras qualificaçōes, sem dúvida.

Mas estamos a plantar sementes para que se mantenha assim no futuro? Nāo tenho… Read

Creating a vibrant football community is crucial for the success of any youth academy. However, it has the same level of difficulty and challenges on the way. To be fair, the challenging part never ends. Season after season, they will come up, eventually.
