Which of the VFL leagues do you currently play in<br />
and how did the last season go?<br />
How do you select players when it comes<br />
to trials?<br />
We play in the Championship.<br />
Bournemouth had a tough season and finished 17th or<br />
something like that. I was not the manager of the team last<br />
season as I was co-manager at Liverpool.<br />
Is it a highly competitive league?<br />
I have recruited some players which I know and I have brought<br />
them into the squad, we played together in Swansea back in s32<br />
when I was their manager. I look for experienced players with<br />
good personalities that will fit into our squad nicely.<br />
How about what the most crucial position to have a strong<br />
player in is?<br />
Yes it is, the Championship is a very competitive league,<br />
there are some good teams in our league and some good<br />
players as well.<br />
Thats a very good question, I think you have to have decent players in all<br />
positions really, and then you have to learn to play together, we believe<br />
we are a team and not 11 egos and work hard on our team play.<br />

VFL over VPG why is that?<br />
What formation do you prefer and why?<br />
VFL , I like the fact that we are playing with ”real” Clubs, like<br />
Bournemouth, Liverpool, Real Madrid and so on.<br />
I have played VPG as well but I prefer VFL, I think its better organised,<br />
and in my opinion it also has a better online home page.<br />
What is likely to be the biggest challenge you<br />
will face?<br />
We are trying to get the team together and build chemistry, and<br />
that can be a challenge.<br />
We are very optimistic that the more we play together the more we<br />
will develop it.<br />
4-2-3-1 narrow, we play this as it offers both width when needed<br />
and the ability to play narrow with two holding CDM’s to help out<br />
when defending. Its an good all round formation.<br />
How far do you think your team can go?<br />
I think we can win the league this season. We are certainly going to go for it!<br />
What can the VFL do to develop the game further?<br />
I am not sure, I think they are doing a good job to be honest.<br />
I think they are doing VFL better and better every new season<br />
with some small upgrades and tweaks to keep it improving after<br />
responding to feedback. EWF<br />
