Coerver Method
The Coerver Method is a soccer coaching technique which Coerver created. By analysing videotapes of various great players including Pelé, devised a new concept in football which advocates that skill could not only be inherent with the young players but could also be passed on in a comprehensive academic way. Under this technique, players progress in a structured manner, pyramidal, from basics of ball mastery to a tactically driven group attack. They would be exposed to the other essentials like Receiving and Passing, Moves (1v1), Speed and Lethal Finishing.The 1998 FIFA World Cup in France saw the first Coerver student, Boudewijn Zenden who played for the Netherlands national football team, make it to the FIFA World Cup.
In the 1993 Gothia Cup, at the age of 18, Cheung Sai Ho scored the then fastest ever goal on record (2.8 seconds).
He played his last game for Hong Kong during the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification in 2007, where he helped Hong Kong defeat East Timor 2:3 away and 8:1 at home to advance to the next round.[2] He officially announced his retirement from professional football in July 2008.[3]
