I'd go watch City XI (youth/U23s) locally anyday of the week. Madness that there are so few friendlies. Hopefully, July is where the news is at

We played Rhyl,Hearts, Dundee,Rangers & others recently. There'll be several local / regional games shortly.
Why are some peeps so negative & critical of City all the time.
The club has changed,it's a global enterprise now NOT SWALES SMALL TIME !!

Will not take long until Pep has this toy, too...
Some cameras are installed and Nagelsmann has an Ipad with which he can give instructions for the players on the screen. Screen is big enough so that the players see it from the pitch.

Alan Ball would have loved that, much cooler than sitting in a deck chair with a megaphone.

We don't seem to value preseason in footballing terms anymore. The club sees it solely as a marketing exercise, and seems to favor three or four high-profile moneymaking games packed into a grueling travel schedule rather than a string of games against a variety of opposition that might, you know, actually help prepare the team for the season? It's bizarre. Can't be good for our chances.
We always start the season great, so I don't think there's anything wrong with our pre season.

It is there to analyse training scenes directly - to explain something visually on the trainings pitch and to prepare for opponents etc.
What Pep tries to explain with his hands and voice when he stops scenes in trainings scenes where he corrects distances etc. (or later in the discussion room with video) Nagelsmann can do now directly on the pitch. Show what was wrong - and show how it should be. Might help with language barriers, too.
For coaches like Pep - and Nagelsmann is similar - and their way of coaching and exercising that might be the right help. Hoffenheim is testing that now.
