Manchester United assistant Carlos Queiroz has spoken of
the importance of playing football with 'fantasy, imagination and
creativity'.
United stormed to success last season with some mesmerising
attacking play and Queiroz explained that playing in such a way is
in the United make-up.
"The Manchester United culture is to win by playing great, creative
football. It is all about winning and entertaining. It has always
been like that," Queiroz said.
"Sometimes, with so much competition from all the other sports and
things like TV, football needs to be innovative to keep the title
of the best sporting entertainment. "
Ferguson's number two took a swipe at sides who play more
conservatively, pointing out that teams can win trophies playing in
an attacking manner.
Queiroz said: "For some time now, the game has moved in one
direction. The systems and strategies and the general teams
approached the game had become so defensive and cautious.
"That is why it is so important, not just for Manchester United but
for the game as a whole, that we won the championship. We proved it
is possible to win trophies with an attacking style of
football.
"We need to play with fantasy, imagination and creativity. We need
to produce attacking football and be sure when we have the trophies
in our hands, it is because we deserve it."
