Fermit the Krog Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 FWIW, training has been very enjoyable, lots and LOTS of passing drills. He had the group huddled together at one point talking to them about what he expected and he certainly doesn't suffer fools gladly. Templeton, Driver, Sutton and Rudi all given a stern talking to at one point or another, although it was constructive and it's certainly evident that the players respect him. His two assistants were more involved with warm ups and drills whilst Lockie took a step back. Not going to have a go at JJ's methods but there is a big difference between the two styles.

I sound like a broken record, but were a few youngsters training with the first team? Good to hear that training is enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjl Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hamill, Elliott and Suso all training, albeit Suso quite heavily bandaged. Were these three training with the rest of the squad or seperately ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without having a go at Mr Jim, then, what are the main differences in Mr Sergio and Mr Jim's approaches would you say, as I've never watched training under either coach? More passing drills now, I gather, but what else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just the usual that have been involved recently. Smith has impressed most in front of goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More passing drills now, I gather, but what else? Maybe it's just because it's new that it seems so different but under JJ the players would warm up, have a mini game (two touches?)and then some shooting drills, obviously there was more to it but that was the basic structure when I seen them last season. Today other than the passing drills, the biggest difference has been, dare I say it, professionalism. As I say, he doesn't suffer fools and your reputaion means nothing to him, or so it would appear. The man knows what he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Juan Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Good to hear in Paulo's interview after the Motherwell game last week that he quickly identified that our players struggle to pass and move and now appears to be addressing it in training. Seems like a basic thing to notice, but it has been a problem for us since the 05/06 season imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoussetsShorts Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 One of the first things Jose Mourinho organised when he arrived at Chelsea was an early team meeting and a session with each player. His unique methods of preparation were immediately apparent to the individual players. "It's like an interview more or less," Mourinho reveals, "an interview where they can also put me questions. But I try to prepare, I tried to identify the points where I want to touch, what I want to hear. I want to show them immediately what I am and that I'm open, that I can be a sweetheart but at the same time I can be very nasty in my questions. "The philosophy's more about playing football. The football element of training is the most important element, not the physical element. If you do the football early and correctly, the physical element follows. It's automatic. There's no fitness testing, there's no strict diet - obviously, players at that level know what they can and can't eat and drink. They know how to prepare for a match. So you take all these things on trust. When they're together as a group, they have to eat what's put there, but It's not like dried chicken or dried fish or rice - there's a little bit more flexibility."
