5.0 out of 5 stars Man U Training DVD, June 20, 2004
ByB. C. Hylton "bch" (Greensboro, NC) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Manchester United - Play Like Champions (DVD)
Excellent DVD to teach multiple skills and techniques. This could be one of the best instructional DVD's on the market for youth soccer players. There is a lot of Manchester United propaganda in the production but I found it quite interesting and would recommend this to anyone with kids who play soccer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Soccer Instructional DVD Without a Doubt, December 7, 2006
ByHolly Welsch (New Jersey) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Manchester United - Play Like Champions (DVD)
The production of this DVD absolutely sparkles. I have a 6 and a 10 year old, and they have watched this video, and learned many of the moves. They are pretty good! They film the steps that you take for the moves from beneath the player, through a plexiglass floor! They also show pro players using these moves in a game. It's also a bonus that one of the most prolific goal scorers in the English Premier League, Ruud Von Nistlerooy, is showing several of the moves along with some very talented 10 year old soccer players. It's also surprizing how many Manchester United players shown in this DVD have also scored goals for their respective countries in the FIFA World Cup. In short, why not learn some terrific moves going from basic to advanced from some of the best players in the world There is not a better instructional DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great video for young players, June 11, 2004
ByDamian A. Bruniany "Broony" (Fairfax, VA, USA) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Manchester United - Play Like Champions (DVD)
Obviously, this video is geared toward fans of the Red Devils. However, the audience is definitely the young football/soccer player. There are numerous skill topics covered by demonstration and animated demonstration. Real Man. Utd. players work with the kids at the Youth Academy. I recommend this video to any Man. Utd. fan and definitely anyone looking for a fun instructional video for their player(s).

This review is from: Manchester United - Play Like Champions (DVD)
WOW!!! Here's how to take your kids (and yourself) to the next level for skills development. No more poorly constructed videos or diagrams - these are very professionally produced so that you understand every move. There's also good dialogue with the pros and trainers about how to really finesse these moves on the pitch.

This review is from: Manchester United - Play Like Champions (DVD)
We purchased this DVD based on a recommendation, for use as a training aid for my 10 yr old. It demonstrates a number of age appropriate soccer skills in a nice format that is useful for learning, and that is also enjoyable to watch. At times the European accents and terminology used by some of the speakers / players may be difficult to understand and follow.



4.0 out of 5 stars Nice DVD, July 7, 2004
BySugoiBoy03 "sugoiboy03" (Pearl City, HI United States)
This review is from: Manchester United - Play Like Champions (DVD)
I basically bought this DVD because I'm a ManUtd fan. Yet, it was very interesting to learn some cool skills from the ManUtd players themselves. Good DVD for kids or amateurs who wanna learn how to beat others in one-on-one situations.

1.0 out of 5 stars 2 Hours of Man U Hero Worship, August 22, 2005
ByMichael Goldman "Nerd Guy" (Sunnyvale, CA USA) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Manchester United - Play Like Champions (DVD)
If you are looking for soccer skills to teach or learn, avoid this (like the plague) and try "All The Right Moves - To Beat and Get Past Your Opponent" (there's a Hollywood movie called "All The Right Moves" which is (obviously) different). That DVD covers a lot of juking moves from various angles. Fortunately I got this Man U DVD out of the library so I could return it. I presume someone as disgusted with it as I gave it to them.If, on the other hand, you are a dedicated Man U fan this is for you. Of the 2 hours, about 5 minutes are devoted to teaching any skills at all. The rest of it is Man U players and staff talking, or just standing there for you to admire.The 4 skills taught are "step over" "Cruyff" "Maradonna" (they call it something else) and "pull-back" Those are taught well in a little section of extras where they show it in several ways.No kicking skills taught though you get to watch a Man U player kick a ball around some metal 'defenders'. No insight into how he does it - what a waste.
