STILL HOPING!!

Obviously, I still looking for that savior hand!!. Next week start the practices, and I'm having the hopes of somebody will come to save my project!! pretty soon

It's easy, I just looking for somebody, that likes to see a game well played, with not tossing the ball, and run behind like chickens with no head!!, fouling as if can not mark like a man, without foul virile and elegance, showing class, then that time and money invested and a few years have it a great return,!! that simple!!! I can make this happen, just need a little luck,

Just in case anybody though was not updated,
Like I keep telling to Club's Owners and/or General Managers, even Coaches that needs an advise, I can change in couple of games the way your team it's playing.
I hope Nelson Rodriguez (MLS -VP) read this, because he told me years ago, when he was a director at the NY MetroStars, that I get a Losing team and do what I did with the (- www,iapotencia.com -) WIN, I know he may be happy, because we talked several times and said that me and my partner at that particular time ( El Profe- Anibal Gutierrez Ponce) We WERE (past tense) Yes he was cruel, but he was right, we were Champions in the 80's and he needs at that time somebody actualize,
And last year I miss another opportunity with NY, this time somebody from the RedBulls called me, and got me in a distracted moment, and because I don't have any license to get on the field and he give me no time to explain that I have the right people to coach for me, (I just manage)
It would be immodest said that I went down in a Club (third Division) on a league that it's in a country between the 5 best -according with FIFA-, and just in one month make a team that already played 8 games and won only ONE GAME, and with my advise WON 3 out of 5, not, lets say,that was pure LUCK!!, but, in the records will be that results!!
This it's the first round, of a tournament of TWO; we still have chances to go to the next level, (division segunda A) just one step to be playing The Libertors Cup and/or The World Interclubs Cup, but, the financial problem it's in the way, if I don't get in the next couple month somebody interested in be a real WORLD CHAMPION, we can't afford to keep winning, because next division have the players to sign a contract under FIFA's regulations.
We have room to make one of the best Academies, -and players educated by us-, should be the preferences of Colleges and Clubs around the world, we offer REAL COMPETITION, like I said, fourth in the WORLD (FIFA) MY SYSTEM STILL WORKING!!!

My Style still WORKS!!!

Just in case you haven't been keeping track; I would like to send everyone an update.
 I have been working helping coach's, club owner's and general managers. 
What I do is change the way a team is playing.  I can do this in just a couple of games.
 A couple of years ago, Nelson Rodriguez (MLS- VP) the at the time director of the NY Metrostars told me that what I did with http://www.iapotencia.com/   was incredible.  I am sure he would be happy to know that I have just returned from helping a team in one of the five top countries in the world, at least according to FIFA and in just one month the team went from loosing 7 games and winning only one to winning three out of five!!
  In fact this is just the first round in a tournament of two rounds with the opportunity to potentially advance and play the LIbertors Cup and/or the World Interclub Cup. 
  But as always reality intrudes, the reality of money.  The reality is that to be able to play and win at the next level we need money because at that level the players need to sign contracts which are regulated by FIFA rules.
 We have the opportunity to create one of hte best football academies, educating and producing players that will be recruited worldwide.  We offer real competition and our country has been recognized as a power house in the sport by FIFA but we need your help.  Are you interested?  How much can you contribute?

Modern?? Result???

If I keep repeating the same thing over and over, it's no my fault! - I think??!!-Look the comments after a game. played for a really Professional country selection team, against a Country really "AMATEUR" team!!

("Fortunately for the Canucks, they do have seven months to get things sorted and, as Hart noted, there hasn’t been a shortage of chances, someone just needs to step up.“All you can do is create the chances. It’s not like we didn’t create the chances,” Hart said. “We had some very good chances and we didn’t score, so it’s always going to be our problem. It’s not like there’s a striker out there that’s playing that we don’t have.”)

The "CHANCES" they are talking about, were a million "crosses" they sent to the box -I keep calling (just long balls)-, HOPING somebody head would direct the ball to the net, don't care what jersey the header wear it!! JUST PURE LUCK!! No luck, no goals, either team!!!! Blame at the "STRIKER", NOOO!!! blame a the game PLAN!! (GAME PLAN???) what it's THAT??? Came back to the same!!!TODAY WIN THE ONE IT'S LUCKY!! Or went to the witch Doctor!!

An old good MEMORIES

My old BUDDY wrote this about me!!

Like I SAID, just good ald MEMORIES

-----------------------------------

What Americans call soccer, the rest of the world calls football. What we call football, my good friend Walter Rasso will quickly point out, involves an oblong object that hardly resembles a ball, and is more dependent on hands than it is feet. Walter eats, sleeps and breathes futbol. He spends a lot of his time emailing professional soccer coaches and GMs, pointing out to them mistakes their teams are making and suggesting changes that he feels will be beneficial. For the most part, they do not listen. That's their loss. Walter has a wealth of experience and he's willing to share. He endorces a style that's dependent on short, quick passes and abhors the long easy-to-defend ping-pong-like exchanges so prevalent today. If you are interested in turning your team around, Walter is available for coaching and consulting. Just leave a comment or email him directly and he'll get back to you.

MEMORIES!!

Being nagging about the way the game it's being played, didn't help a bit!!, still, nobody notice me!



Trying to get a Club with hopes of better themselves, fails again, because, not owners, presidents, or the ones in charge, have the guts, to do the change!!!

The old players, turned coaches, the SAME!!!



If I say, that I feel like a grumpy old man, will you believe me?, YES I DO!!! And I don't like it!!



That is the major reason, I'm going without posting nothing for long periods of time!!



Plus, WHAT CAN I SAY??? The game still played equal horrible then when I posted on the others comments, -today-, I'll just copy some of the old posts, and you'll see, IT'S THE SAME!!! way of play, NO TACTICS, Just close the eyes and kick the ball the farther you can!! Retreat, come back, don't attack with more then couple forwards -even if you are one goal down- nobody knows that is the same thing, lose for one goal, then for two!!!



For that reason - WHAT CAN I SAY???



But, I don't lose my enthusiasm that someday, somehow, somewhere, somebody with the resources, will want to do what I'm preaching for long time!! and with my knowledge, the contacts, and the main thing -GUTS- and in a couple of years being the Real Champions!!!



--------------------------------

I do not comment game by game,I'm not a commentaries professional, just trying to help the beautiful game to come back to what is suppose to be!! (see post LAST WARRIOR)and if we win, but, played terrible, I'm not CONTENT!





But, what I'm saying for long time, IF one Country try to play good ball movements, and not going try to confuse the referees with that acts of been victimized, or, abusing the faults, IF JUST PLAY BALL would WIN!!


It's Clear (for me), that the player has to CREATE, if you are outside the 18 yards box, YOU have to create, face the defender, try your best footwork, pass him/her, and, you'll find out, that the goalie did his/her job, and close your shooting angle, -again- use YOUR BRAINS, fake, footwork AGAIN!! and put the ball nice and smooth, into the goal!! Easy?? It sounds, easy, that is the way is suppose to be!


Just a few MEMORIES of my posted thoughts, like I keep telling " Hope for the best".

LINKS!!

TRYING TO POST A NEW LINK, I MADE A MISTAKE AND ERASED ALL THE OLD ONES!!

Please try to reach me again, if you want re-posted

NEW FUTURE!!

Now, back again in USA, back at home, after a helpful run with the Club in South America.
Helpful because I can see with my own eyes what is going on around the globe, and I can taste it myself, nobody have to tell me what is wrong or right!!

Yes, now I can swear, that it's not easy what I try to accomplish, it's very hard try to take out the way are playing in the last 10 - 15 years, tossing the ball in the air, claiming fault, when nobody even touch them and crying loud a nonexistent pain, yelling at the referee, give him/her a yellow card!!!, celebrating a lousy goal, like if was at the end of a World Cup Final game!

Talking with a coach friend, we see the same problems, but, in our division we got a good excuse, the guys have to work, or, some are students, they don't have time for practices, not even think to start talking about strategies or plans, NO TIME AT ALL!!. plus that non existence of playgrounds (See my past post -Campito...-), the kids today have not the individuals skills needed to be a different player!!, they learn in schools - Academies, that are teaching the kids, and throwing the ball with the hands, is very easy to the guys to kick the ball, not thinking, that in the game, NOBODY WILL THROW THE BALL NICE AND EASY, WITH THE HAND!!

The main reason is the poor financial resources of the Club where the money is almost not existent, But what we can't figure out, is with the Clubs with good money situation, WHY... Why they still playing this anti-football (Soccer) style, with the only strategy, throw the ball in the box, and pray and/or hope for good luck!!

Since 1984, with a group of experienced people, we are trying to enhance the way of playing the "beautiful" game. Now going Global, with a partnership with Clubs in South America and Europe!
Summary;
born the first Academy -"Boot Camp" Style-, (as usually is done for Gymnastics) for youngsters with wishes to better themselves the way are playing right now!. This way, we hope to raise money, to keep playing the tournament, keeping many kids out of the way of drugs and bad habits!!

We are in a country that is well known for having a high % in Pro-players around the World, in the best leagues, have at least one player in between the five best.

What we started in 1984, today are several people doing it, Are playing players from Japan, Australia, Canada, USA, and, a select team from Indonesia competing in U-19 Tournament, to gain experience for next World Cup!!

We'll provide; Pro-Coaches with high skills in formative, Trainers, Hotel, transportation, Care, everything related, and, the best, COMPETITION!! in a league PROVEN Worldwide!! Fourth in FIFA's last tournament!!

Until we don't find a sponsor, the player will have to pay for the training, as is occurring right now, the players have to pitch in a lot, but, if a Club is interested, these Club will have to pay back for the formation of the player!, and you'll get your money back!!

I could do this in USA, but, the COMPETITION, it's not the same!!! and much, much expensive!!
