Sometimes the performance a team in pre season games gives a clear picture of how the performance of the team will be in the season.
I disagree; the pre season games does not give any picture or indication of how the team performance will be when the season starts. Instead; the pre season games is to get the players to up their fitness level; understand the weakness of the team and work on it greatly. The MUFC pre season game against leeds was good. Some academy players did well performance wise. More to expect.
That's right.
We must realise that pre-season games are sometimes just a warm-up for some big clubs because there are other things to consider such as giving opportunities to some players who rarely get this time to take precedence over looking at the schemes.
This is one way for the coach to measure how ready the players are after a long holiday.
Don't take friendlies and pre-season tours too seriously because sometimes they can be tricky and an example might be Chelsea and Liverpool in the season that has ended this time.
