I think he has a very strong competitive and winning spirit which gets transfered onto the team and staff. He has a great knowledge and feel for the game, great preparation and leading during the game. His full focus on the team and teamwork is a great virtue in my opinion. A methodological approach to work with the team, well thought out and executed work on the field. Positive energy, passion and attitude towards people, justice and a feel for what every team needs.”
“First of all I like the way he talks to us in the dressing room. Always positive and with a smile. Transmitting good feelings to play more confident and give our best.
He analyzed the opponents very well and we played against every opponent in the best way to utilise their mistakes. The changes that he makes during the game have been very important for the final result.
He knows how to handle everything during training, he always gets the best out of us in training and gets us to focus all the time. But there are also times when we could all laugh and make jokes with him. He has a very good relationship with the players and that is always important.”
“He is a coach with a great football knowledge. A well educated coach who approaches the job with great positivity. And what I think is a key item is that he is very relaxed and open to cooperation. His team always has a great atmosphere.”
“Commitment- he lives football 24 hours a day, which can be seen especially in the training sessions which are planned ti the smallest detail. Constant analysis of the opponent and preparing for the upcoming game.
Communication- I feel like I don’t even have to say anythong about this
Tactics- I was convinced of the quality last season, when we won our last 7-8 games basically all on tactis, analysing the opponents and building the tactic accordingly. And this season too when we tried playing 3-5-2… I’m saying this because I watched a few games from the stands and saw everything we were doing in training.”
“Klaf, a football addict with a very clear idea of what to do and how to do it. He transfers his idea and passion onto the players very well, follows the evolution of training and adapts it to the players with great quality. I am very lucky that I was able to work with him.”
”It is easy to talk about football with coach Klaf. He listens to players and their point of views and respects different opinions.
Coach Klaf can release the pressure away from the players with different methods.
He can keep all players fresh by rotating the squad.”
