Whether he can succesfully transform United in a similar fashion remains to be seen. But he will have to sign a DM who suits playing in a team that sacrifices defensive stability for offensive gain. Someone quick, mobile and tenacious who can potentially dominate defensive zones in a high risk approach.
Ole has taken on Fergies mantra but added the modern approach to it. When I watch Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool it reminds me off Fergies teams from the past which IMO is a natural evolution of our teams from the past. And I would say Ole is trying to replicate Klopp stylistically. Whether he will be successful remains to be seen though, but at the very least I do believe he will leave behind a squad that will be of use to a coach that favours a modern proactive approach if things don't work out.
Ole is trying to replicate SAF as far as trying to implement a fast and fluid attacking style IMO. But the difference now is that the emphasis is on the fullbacks rather than the traditional wingers to provide the width and teams are prepared very differently off the ball tactically as far as placing a clear emphasis on high pressure which requires the collective to move together for it to be effective. And having had the time to watch several Molde games during lockdown when Ole was at the helm, it was pretty clear he favours a very agressive high press with the CBs pushed up near the half way line and the fullbacks playing as wingers. His Molde team sacfriced defensive stability for goals. His team scored alot of goals but also conceded a fair few but ultimately it must be said that he was successful in implementing a proactive approach in his homeland.Is Ole trying to replicate more modern tactics or trying to recapture how SAF and his staff played a decade ago?
