Do you understand me??

 Thank you everyone for the well wishes and according to some references I’ll say something about “why I always send my messages to clubs that are not doing good”  trying to help them out !!

Very good reference,  I’ll start to mention than they would make a deal even with the devil, just to escape from the bottom of the positions and win some games!!

I know it’s hard because the players are used to play the same, over and over again without trying to change (they don’t know nothing better, anyway) . First I would try to make them understand to get on top of the other players to don’t let them toss the ball in the air.  If you just bother wouldn’t be that easy for the  long ball, creating dangerous situations in front of your goal. 

Now it comes the worse part of my job. Trying to explain that the hardest you’ll hit the ball, the quickest it would be back around you again!!. That’s better stop   (control) the ball, don’t even think pass it to your players behind you!! And the next teammate close to the one with the ball should walk closer to receive a pass.  Just 5-10 feet separated and has to be open (not behind other players) OPEN to receive,( control) and keep in motion, moving forward the same time as the player  just assisted you. In the meantime other players have to read the action and start to get closer and open (OPEN) to receive, on the left or the right . This way take the attention to the one with the ball and can manipulate it without the pressure of the other team players!!. Always keeping in motion the ball moving left or right, never straight forward because most of the time is another opponent,   left and right FORWARD, and the player just passed the ball keep running behind, supporting the possessor, and would make easy to try to dribble someone to keep controlling the play knowing someone behind is ready to recuperate the ball back to us!! .  

 Well apply this run and study the formation of the players, it’s like a triangle, or diamond formation.  BUT the main reason is keep the ball protected!! Has to put in their heads, “if you keep the ball with your team for 90 minutes, then the other team can’t , score !!

I’ll explain other points  the next time I’m inspired or a good question from someone interested in trying to come back to be again.  “THE beautiful game “

A free advice to win games!!!

 Seeing the way is going “my futbol “  I don’t have other thing to do is just take a deep breath and keep my mouth shut to don’t look like a crabby old man!!

With one of the best leagues around USA half way into the tournament, the Clubs that can’t win a game, even if they play against a bunch of non-professional players. 

They’re talking about new players (saviors) and  throwing millions of dollars on players that are good throwing the ball in the air and kick the ball even if they don’t have the right peripheral to shoot and convert a goal. But that’s the only hope they understand could happens to them!

If you didn’t read my priors posts you don’t know that I’m preaching for decades then the big problem isn’t the players most of the time.  The problem it’s the system you’re making to be played for your players!!   

Change your system, first thing.  You have to understand is only ONE ball at the game time!!  WHY do you have your players in a perfect line???,  you don’t know the ball can go just to one place?? You need the player there!! Period. And the defenders have to do just that,DEFENSE one on one. The ball should be controlled, the closer teammate has to go nearby him/her ,quickly, open to receiving the ball, and the one just passed the ball has to advance to receive again, and the same play…… time and time again. You don’t raffle the ball in the air!!

To evict the other team to score.  

Most of the goals are from long balls to nowhere. Just put the ball on the box and cross the fingers. Just good luck!! 

When you lose the ball, get a player on top of the one who recuperated the ball for them, without fault, if you fault, you’re giving the ball to them!!!(easy??)  and now you have the ball!! Controlled, look around, wait for a teammate get closer (long passes are No-No!!)  and keep forward, always FORWARD…. Short passes to the boot!!

If I’m boring you, I’ll stop writing and I can explain how to defend a corner kick, (you don’t need 10 players inside the box bothering the goalie) it’s pitiful watching tossing the ball in the air and nobody around to controlled it!!

Just ask me!!!
