Tuchel - The most important is not the formations. The most important is how we live it, how everybody respects the principles, how we attack, how we defend in the formation that we play.
Well done to all the hard working and passionate staff we have. They displayed to the auditors that our Academy is positively moving in the right direction! Lots more to come 👏👏👏

It’s all about playing games, it doesn’t matter who you play for unless you are getting minutes on the pitch in games. A good lesson for young players here. ⚽️
