Talking of interesting football tactics, this is what a manager told us in a team talk when I was at

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Charlton's school of excellence. Around the age of 13/14, so around '93 / '94. Half time and I think we were losing 2-0. So the manager asks the players -

"Where is all the space on a football pitch?"

"Out wide" "on the wings" came the replies...

"No" our manager/coach told us "it is up in the sky. Get the ball up in the air"

Even at that stage, there was a strange sense of shock amongst my teammates (who included Scott Parker and Jon Fortune).

I am trying to teach them overlapping runs by the wide defenders but frankly its a bit beyond them at the moment.
