Nemanja Vidic is full of praise for Erik ten Hag and Lisandro Martinez

Legendary Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic says Erik ten Hag “makes players better”.

The now 41-year-old is one of the most ornamented players in United’s archive, having victory five Premier League titles, three League Cups, one World Club Cup, and the 2008 Champions League.

Vidic was interrogated by me during the lunch break of the course he is organizing, the Uefa Master for Global Players, a course teaching ex-players in supervisory roles within football.

He told reporter Sam Cunningham:

“Erik ten Hag makes players better.

“He’s a good coach — that’s very important. He’s operating on the timbre all the time with them.

“He’s very stable as a person. He was already working for a large club and it likes like his attitude is that nothing comes to align away, it’s hard work. He sees the longer picture.

“Even if you lose the match or victory the match, where he desires to go? He gives me belief as an ex-Manchester United player and fan that he knows what he’s doing

“You can see on the timbre that they’re playing more as a squad.

“Ten Hag has good values. That’s important. I think we lost that at a certain moment that value but now I think he’s giving that back. And it emotions now that they’re playing as a squad.”

The Serbian was one-half of what was arguably the best center-back partnership in United’s history, playing alongside Rio Ferdinand in the side that dominated English football for many years.

Cunningham asked him what he thought of United’s present center-backs.

“Lisandro came just six months ago, so he did genuinely well,” he told.

“He brings energy, he likes to defend. He seems like he appreciates playing in England. He was a big signing.

Vidic went on to say that he believes the relationship with Raphael Varane will get even hefty. He said a significant component of that was how fastly the Argentinian was able to pick up the pace of the Premier League.

“I’m actually cherry how [Lisandro] is playing and exceptionally that energy he gives to the team, that 

antagonism and winning intellect,” he told.

Ziyech has improved, but rebuild means he has to go

Hakim Ziyech to permit Chelsea this window, and for me, it should not even be a dispute. We have just signed three strikers in the shape of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Noni Madueke. Our squad is now bloated, exceptionally in the attack. We cannot roster them all currently in our Champions League squad, a player or two needs to be immolated (not physically). We are also probably signing 1/2 more players this window. Until the World Cup, I think lovely much every Chelsea fan would have told yes to selling Ziyech, including the player himself (still believe he wants to leave now). But now, I’ve seen calm a few interrogating it off the back of a good World Cup and a few satisfactory games for Chelsea. He’s been great in spells, granted, but the inconsistencies are still clear to me. We cannot sell Christian Pulisic this month because he has a long-term scratch and no club will buy him. So it has to be Ziyech I’m nervous. As I’ve said, I totally  treasure what he does bring, and wh...

Erik ten Hag’s tactical genius brings Man United victory against Leeds United

Erik ten Hag masterminded an improbable Manchester United win at Elland Road this afternoon later a wound-ravaged side looked to be heading for a stalemate against a brave Yorkshire team buoyed by the combative crowd. United was without Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, and Anthony Martial for the risky stumble over the Pennines. By the hour mark, Leeds looked the most probable to take the three points. With Jadon Sancho looking to be the star most probable to turn it around for United and center-onward Wout Weghorst looking lost, Ten Hag’s double change in the 61st minute changed the course of the sport. Sancho was replaced by juvenile Alejandro Garnacho, who has been disheartening in the last couple of games, while Tyrell Malacia was changed by Lisandro Martinez, pushing Luke Shaw back out to left back. To many fans’ astonishment, Weghorst stayed on. Garnacho replaced Marcus Rashford on the left pinion, who moved up front. Bruno Fernandes moved ...

Chelsea’s change of shape in-game is key

Chelsea beat Bournemouth 2-0 on Tuesday evening in their first game back later the World Cup interrupt. It was a much-needed win and a clean sheet after stumbling form and poor performances before the break. There was one key element for me that I noticed that really helped Chelsea get the edge over Bournemouth and make it a pretty straightforward game for them in the end, and that was the in-game exchange of shape. We are starting to see elements come into our play that has clearly been implemented by Graham Potter and his team, and the shape is one of them. I also incorporated about four moves in the first half that Chelsea made that were quick one-touch passing that set us up for a savage within seconds. We have rarely seen this at Chelsea in recent seasons, with our possession play often being too slow and too labored. It was  invigorating to see some quick fluctuation and players also taking on those hard and riskier passes; that is what we need to be seeing much more, worryin...
