Askou targets top six for Motherwell with 'dynamic' style
New manager Jens Berthel Askou wants to see "dynamic football" from Motherwell and has revealed aspirations of a top six finish in the Scottish Dane has replaced Michael Wimmer, who left Fir Park at the end of last season after just 12 games in charge."We want to play some dynamic football with players who want the ball, who want to take the initiative, with big intensity," he said."Aggressiveness, discipline, structure. We want to expose the opposition for a lot of positional challenges, not just the long ball in behind."We need to have more layers and more detail in our way of playing, using more dimensions in the game than what Scottish football maybe traditionally has." Askou ended last season as assistant manager at FC Copenhagen, having been in the same post at Sparta former Gothenburg boss aims to "break down barriers" when it comes to style of play, while stressing the importance of a strong team spirit."I expect to see a team that desperately wants to win and wants to show that positive body language. Hopefully, some tempo-filled football, which would be attractive to watch, developing to train and to play, and in the end effective."Askou, 42, is a fan of what Brendan Rodgers has achieved at Celtic and believes Rangers will play "very interesting football" under his old Norwich City team-mate Russell acknowledged that predecessor Wimmer "tried to modernise the game a little bit, have more passes in the team" and wants to use that as a platform for success."I've looked at the club history over the recent years," he added. "If you take the last five years, we've been in the top six once. We've been 3.4 points off on average."If we lift things and do things a little bit better over 33 games, I think it's possible to find (an extra) win and a draw."And then, with respect to the finances in the club, we want to do it sustainably, both financially and football-wise. And see if we can break into the top six and see if we can stabilise the club."We know that it takes time, it takes continuity, which the club hasn't had recently. I'm the third manager in six months, so we need some time to get things in the right direction. "But we also have an interesting opportunity here with possibilities to really form the squad as much as we can."
