Paco and teaching the game

"I try to always learn and Paco knows it. He talks to me and tries to explain to me things so you can do my job well. I am glad to be worried about me,the way I work. I am improving every day, "said the Portuguese in the game pre-match press conference with Eibar. 

" I needed to improve to play the game . Now I'm training and I think I'm better than I was.The coach is helping me and I will continue to improve with practice, "he added..

The interviews show immense thing about what happens in practice and what players need (or want) to grow. 

The interpretation of the game is important on the defensive phase, but it is even more important when our team has the ball. That passing lanes give, where to draw the opponent, where and how the unbalance for the ball to arrive in the best condition to the end zone.

When Bebe says it now has training, reveals what happened in all the years I played football so far. Or did not explain what you were doing and what the transfer to the game, or he did not realize ...

Or, and more likely, the training had no clear transfer to the game.

Examples:

- Running in the woods with backpacks of marines back. Even explained ... has little transfer to the game. Can serve as group dynamics, can serve for general fitness gains, but the glaring lack of specificity, prevents make  sense. Would be like a Crossfit athlete suddenly come play football. Obviously, this in an impressive physical form, the Rich Fronning] and seen as the man in better condition physically in the world, still .... 10 minutes to play 6v6 in half a football field and tapassem his mouth he fall to the side.

- Completion exercises any, feint 2 mannequins and ends. The player believes this to work completion, but still specificity is much reduced because there is no need to relate to colleagues and opponents, influencing every decision we take.

- Direction with games, colleagues and opponents, with a minimum of 2 3v3 with goalkeeper. The player is not directly identifies the transfer to the game, but all the actions  they perform are within the Game Center and thus decisive for Sunday things go better. A 4v4 where each time a player passes the ball must clear towards goal with the other players have to adapt to maintain the structure, it may seem a silly thing, because a player playing central defense, will rarely do one ball forward, but go through these experiences will improve your understanding of the game. 

To improve the understanding of the game, will be able to predict and anticipate situations for and against, when the game goes from 4v4 to 11v11. 

A player who feels that the coach cares about him, the coach explains to him things are  much more open to follow what the coach asks you, even if it's different things that came to him so far.

Hardly a player with Bebe profile will make in their lifetime things like Nolito. The decision profile] and radically different. But it will certainly, in time and with some success in the actions, improve a little. And sometimes that's all it takes.

Klopp and the importance of training

A few weeks after entering the club, and with players who hardly played or will not even enter in the accounts for the overwhelming majority of the league games ..

• High blood pressure and intense, with the player who will press to have the concern to first close a Pass Line and then press.With colleagues to close the lines pass nearby and constantly have 3 or 4 players close to the game center. Players of the defensive line to show constantly through body language where colleagues must adjust. 
• 
  
• Player with ball often with 4 supports (forward, backward, left and right) near and visible (not worth being in the XYZ position one is an opponent to close the pass line, only count as lines if A is able to connect with B without interference from an opponent).

Does anyone think this would be possible only with lectures? No (very good) training, it would be impossible to achieve collective behavior as well defined. And, we repeat, players with little or no use. 

Round to Maradona, Maradona to round, round to Maradona. The birthday of God is always celebrated here

Everything about Maradona is a legend.

Was ninety-four, that FIFA shattered, all definitely a childhood dream that turned teenager.

It was a child eight years ago, but already Argentino. They have Maradona, never tired of repeating my older and more cunning cousin Sergio.

The TV news opened with the deeds of a quietly dominating the world.It was my first best player in the world, and we all know how special it is. His goals in Mexico, its endless plays that destroçavam as all those who crossed his path. Although small in stature, so bright that it jumps higher than Peter Shilton and head eliminates England. Our Argentina is sagrara-World Champion. How could it be otherwise? We have Maradona!

Three years later, fate decreed that the path of Napoli is crossed with Portugal. Maradona comes to Portugal. Well I remember the excitement was knowing that this would happen. In fact, it is impossible to recall another time when someone more important around here has passed. It is in eighty-nine for the first time desiludo me. Not with Maradona. Never with him. Alberto Bigon leaves the star sitting in Alvalade bank, and still do not understand why not put that bench in the museum of the club. Maradona goes, but it's sixteen. The best sixteen of my life, guaranteed. But Maradona was ten and since then I have not forgotten over the Italian coach's name you betrayed me. It is in this round someone commits the greatest achievement I remember. Ivkovic, goalkeeper Sporting, advocates a penalty of Maradona.

It is in ninety-four who commit the most terrible injustice in living memory. Maradona is back, it is well and kicking. Reloads a country on his shoulders. Plays, brand, makes playing. We will be champions again, I think. We - Maradona!

Already after shattered the Greek selection, the television news reopens with Diego. FIFA infamous back to punish him. Cocaine use is the advanced lie to withdraw from the tournament its brightest star. Of course, a larger organization fears what may crave Argentina in Maradona wings. A huge lie, which will one day be corrected. Today I am certain.

Do not. Maradona never disappointed me. Guilt always been in that gravitated around him.
