Alexander Kiene: The Style of Football
15. April 2023 · 5 Min. · @youtube · EN
At the beginning of a development within a club, there is always a common playing identity! An idea what style of football you stand for as a club and how you want to implement it structurally. The playing identity is defined by clear values and principles in the style of football from the children's to the professional team. Development is an active process that has to be lived with hard work and passion every day.
 
Alexander Kiene: The playing identity
16. November 2022 · 5 Min. · @youtube
The football style of a club is characterised by the implementation of a uniform playing identity and is defined by jointly developed values and clear offensive and defensive playing principles. This playing identity should link all age groups, from children to professionals, and thus increase identification and the likelihood of upward mobility.
