Football: Preparing squad for FIFA U-17 women World Cup, with a different style: Coach Thomas Dennerby

Harpal Singh Bedi / New Delhi

Indian U-17 Women’s National Team head coach Thomas Dennerby says that he is preparing the squad for the upcoming FIFA U-17 World Cup, with a ‘technical’ style which makes use of the players’ ‘extreme speed’.

Speaking on the topic ‘Current playing style of the U-17 World Cup team’, at the ongoing International Virtual Coaching Conference organized by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). The coach said “We decided to have a style that is more like the Asian style — a technical style and passing game. We have players with extreme speed and we need to work with the passing and quick touches.”

“Getting the ball out from defence fast, we can be quick on counter-attacks that we can use when opponents are unorganized. We have created a lot of opportunities that way, especially when we played against Romania and won one match as well,” Dennerby explained.

“Without the ball, our style is zonal defence. We play as a close compact team with short distances between players so that we can work together and try to win the ball quick and high.”

The highly-experienced Swedish tactician shared the general priorities he has set for the team, “The first priority is to win. We must always try to win, no matter the opposition. The second is team training to improve the game model. Then, we have factors such as the right nutrition, recovery, sleep and rest.

“If players don’t do these rights, they will not have the required energy in matches and training. Fourth, we have extra individual training, which is always as an addition to the second and third points and never instead of them,” he opined.

Then, you try to find a way that suits the team best. You have to find your own playing style and vision. Football is like philosophy, there is no wrong or right. One has to try to improve the way you want the team to play while seeing what is best for the players.”

He also emphasised on the importance of playing as a team being a key value, along with others such as having an ‘on and off button’

“In training, there has to be 100% focus and intensity. One can have fun and smile in training but it is important to choose the right time for it. Additionally, to live as a professional, you have to be in the full concentration zone many hours a week and so, it is vital to have some time off where you can fully relax,”.

He underlined the role played by the support staff as well and stated that that the job of the head coach is to ensure that they all reach their ‘highest potential’

“There are not many rules around the team. Perhaps the most important one is being on time because that is extremely important. Be it a training session or a lecture — players should be on time. Another important value is that the team is the star. It has different players with different skills but we win and lose as a team.

Dennerby led the Swedish Women’s National Team to a third-place finish at the FIFA Women’s World Cup Germany in 2011 and a quarterfinal spot in the 2012 London Olympics.

It was followed by a stint with the Nigerian Women’s National Team, where he guided them to the AWCON title in 2018 and coached them at the FIFA Women’s World Cup France last year, after which he was appointed as the head coach of the India U-17 Women’s National Team in November 2019.
