It
is every young footballers dream to play like their
heroes. Aspiring footballers can often be found
mimicking their favourite player’s trademark
move, whether it be Ryan Giggs’ darting runs
or Ruud van Nistelrooy’s sharp turns with
the ball. Now, players can learn such moves straight
from the horse’s mouth.
Manchester United’s latest release, Play Like
Champions, provides players of all standards with
tuition on a number of vital skills, from goalkeeping
advice to attacking tips. Each skill is also performed
by a United player whose expertise rests in that
area, i.e. van Nistelrooy performs a number of attacking
drills, while Roy Keane outlines the importance
of defensive midfield skills.
Every detail in every skill is meticulously covered,
from the part of the foot used to dribble when taking
on a player to the positioning of the feet when
performing a Cruyff turn.
The exercises are accompanied by detailed illustrations
and precise narration. All drills are also performed
in real-match situations to outline the effectiveness
and realism of the skill(s).
Apart from skill development, advice is given on
nutrition and injury prevention — very useful
for both players and coaches. United physio Rob
Swire explains Wes Brown’s situation after
the defender underwent knee surgery, and outlines
the importance of self-motivation and desire.
Playing Like Champions also includes a tour of Old
Trafford, along with a tour of United’s 85-acre,
state-of-the-art Trafford Training Centre in Carrington,
which houses 14 pitches, swimming pool, private
dining area for the players, gym, and many more
facilities.
A must for all soccer enthusiasts — regardless
of whether you’re playing or not.
Other features include:
• Finishing with van Nistelrooy
• Dribbling with Cristiano Ronaldo
• Goalkeeping with Tim Howard
• Extra skills section, including tricks on
how to get the ball up without bending your back
• Role of the captain
