Ragnar’s Union Berlin side have just wrapped up the 32/33 season in style, winning both the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal – retaining both from last season, as it happens. Thing is, now’s when the real work starts.

Tactical Evolution or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Juego de Posicion.

As I mentioned in my last post I’ve been wandering around Europe as Ragnar Hjaltisson once again, plying my footballing trade at a couple of clubs.
