- Published
New Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles has given a flavour of how he wants his Blades side to play.
In his first interview with BBC Radio Sheffield, the new man in the Bramall Lane dugout pledged to play "intense and front-footed" football and stick to his attacking principles.
He said: "We are very proactive, we are not waiting for things to happen, we want to be creating situations, we want to be aggressive, we want to be front-footed and vertical in our attack. Those are the principles – we want to prepare a team that is very intense.
"We want to find the opposition box as quick as we can, that will not mean we want to kick it long, we want to find a spare player or have this breaking lines mentality.
"When we lose the ball we need to recover it as quick as possible to continue attacking."
Selles, who says he is a passionate boss, aims to foster a culture of trust with his players and maintain high standards.
He added: "I trust the players a lot but I am very firm in my principles and in the way I want them to do things on the pitch.
"We create the idea and they need to go and play the idea."
