“I have to be responsible for the stability of the situation, the development of individuals and driving our identity as a team with the head coach. The job was perfect, but the timing was bad,” Jorgenson said.
“My first specialty was set-pieces and throw-ins, and that’s what we focused on in the beginning. That’s where I got my own unique knowledge and approach that works for every club.”
“Over time, we’ve laid the foundation for our individual development program and our identity as a team, and I’ve slowly started to process that, which has been fun.”
“Few people think training is fun, but everyone knows that one-third of goals come from set pieces. I have to be clear ยูฟ่าเบท with my players. The saying ‘less is more’ is often true.”
“I would rather practice a fixed situation with full attention for 10 minutes than practice for 2 hours without any commitment. This is a detail that can be statistically determine to move up or down 5 places in the table.”
