1:40Quickfire Questions with Danny MayeDanny Maye reminisced about his childhood memory of scoring a decisive goal for his dad's team at Filbert Street, emphasizing the value of grassroots football experiences. He noted that many young players today miss out on such opportunities, which were more prevalent in the past. Maye also mentioned his football idols, including George Best and Ryan Giggs, and highlighted the significance of his debut match at Port Vale.6:10-Analysis of Football Tactics and EvolutionDanny Maye praised the Barcelona team's ability to control the game and create "wow moments," emphasizing their effective counter-pressing tactics. Michael Wright added that the current trend in football has seen teams, including Manchester City, adopting a more reserved approach to pressing. Maye further explained that the evolution of play styles has made it more challenging to execute counter-pressing effectively.9:07 -Danny Maye's Coaching Philosophy and BackgroundDanny Maye recounted his career path from playing at various clubs to transitioning into coaching, highlighting his experiences at Southampton and Derby. He articulated his coaching philosophy, which centers on building belief in players and fostering positive relationships. Maye stressed the significance of focusing on players' strengths and maintaining a supportive environment to enhance their development.18:18-Coaching Mindset and Player DevelopmentDanny Maye discusses the significance of fostering a belief in players' ability to improve, rather than fixating on their shortcomings. He reflects on past experiences where he misjudged players, such as Ben White, who went on to achieve success despite initial doubts. Maye suggests that a more constructive framing of feedback can lead to better player development outcomes.21:49-Strategies for Implementing Playing StylesMichael Wright addressed the unique position of coaches in establishing a style of play, particularly when players may not have prior experience with it. Danny Maye agreed, noting that players inherently want to press and regain the ball quickly. He shared his experience of initially focusing on high-intensity training, which led to excessive turnovers, prompting a shift towards a more balanced approach in practice design.29:23-Coaching Behavior and Player DynamicsMichael Wright shares his observations of Danny Maye's coaching during a match, highlighting the contrast between his calm sideline presence and his more talkative nature in training environments. Danny elaborates on the necessity of adjusting his coaching style based on the players' performance and the atmosphere of the game, indicating that he aims to foster player autonomy while remaining aware of the team's needs.38:00 - Common Traits of Successful PlayersMichael Wright asked about the common traits of players who have succeeded in professional football. Danny Maye highlighted that while technical and physical skills are crucial, attributes such as unwavering belief, game intelligence, and resilience are also significant indicators of potential. He noted that players often need to demonstrate these qualities to succeed at higher levels.41:00 -Player Development and Transition to First TeamDanny Maye warned against releasing players during critical growth periods, noting that it can affect their confidence and performance. He advised that when players move to the first team, they should focus on showcasing their strengths and maintaining a positive demeanor, rather than playing it safe out of fear of making mistakes. Maye illustrated his point with the example of Nathan Teller, whose personality and character made a strong impression on the first team. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Letos tomu bylo padesát let, co Manchester United vyhodil ze svého týmu legendárního fotbalistu George Besta. Patřil k nejtalentovanějším fotbalistům všech dob.

“I like an Englishman to look like an Englishman, and beards are foreign and breed vermin. Also depend upon it, they will lead to filthy habits.” Europe has had a love-hate relationship with facial hair since the Late Middle Ages. In the eleventh century, beards were celebrated as an expression of fertility caused by men's “hot breath”. Yet by the turn of the twentieth century, a clean shaven man represented the youth and vigour celebrated in corporate culture. But how did the Reformation impact opinions on beards? Why did Peter the Great instate a tax on beards in Russia? How did the Crimean War lead to the popularity of the Victorian beard? And why did The Beatles end up bearded? Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss the evolution of the modern beard.

Manchester United will travel to Manchester City this Sunday without much hope they can a result, but things weren't always this way. There was a time when City did not triumph over United in any competition for over a decade. They lived in United's shadow, and Colin Shindler remembers. He wrote the bestselling memoir Manchester United Ruined My Life—and hosts the podcast Football Ruined My Life—and he joins the show to look back on the years when City went to hell and United rose to the top of world football under Sir Alex Ferguson. He also saw the days of Mike Summerbee and George Best, when these two battled it out as equals, and offers a frank account of how he feels about the money and the power behind the Sky Blues' rise over the last decade.
