To the yell of GOAL !!!

 MODERN football, what a disgrace!! Anybody can win, if’s your lucky day!!! I’m saying this for a few years, also always mention, don’t backpedaling without marking someone!!! 

Today one team that shots 3 balls to the other goalie, made TWO goals!! Unbelievable!! But true!!

They made the field smaller, HOW???  Advanced the defenders to the middle line of the field. And let the rivals forward staying without marking, all by themselves!! They used the old rules for the OFFSIDE!!! (another thing that I’m saying for years)  they convert 3-4 easy goals without problem!! But they were taken away for being offside!! 

Like I said in older post, “ the old players turned coaches, don’t know old tricks “ and can’t prevent plays like that!!  They want a nice line of 3-4 players in front of your own goalie (bothering the goalie)  and they want another line in front of this line (just in case, I imagine??)  Sure the other team keeps shooting and shooting… ??   When the other players throw the ball out of the field, or commit a foul and lose the ball, they start attacking, and the other team does the same thing, backpedaling and everyone is in front of the other goalie!!  THIS is MODERN FOOTBALL-(soccer)

Congratulations to the Saudis!!  They just used the old offside trump, Can be very dangerous sometimes, because some defender can’t be paying attention, and  can allow the whole play and those goals were real!!

Final tournament game!!

 Another season gone . SAD!? 

The same thing!! Banging the ball,  seems to be the rule!! A few post before I said. The hardest you think you hit the ball, the quickest would return to your zone!! . Did you read what I wrote?? Nope??  They didn’t either!!! 

In other post I wrote. “ today if I need to coach a team,  would be difficult because players are used to toss the ball, almost impossible to make them understand, no, not that’s not the way to play football. American football, maybe, not the beautiful game!!! What beauty do you see, tossing the ball in the air, couple guys trying to header it, closing the eyes, and throwing themselves to the ground pretending been hit by the other pretender.  Poor referees, don’t know what to call. 

I’ll try to keep my mouth (fingers, I’m writing) shut . But it’s almost impossible. I may be last person that saw playing the beautiful game.  I understand times change, but please….just a little imagination. Use your brains, guts. Don’t tell the referee “ he/her hit me, show the yellow card!!” Get up, look who hit you, and next encounter show what kind the person are you!!!

I don’t want today’s players have to play like years ago. No, understand me, just complement the good fields, the good training have today,  the modern technology to explain how to move inside the field, SOMEBODY explain that shooting the ball from 30-40 yards is just to make the goalie looks better, I know, some players are good and shoot very hard. May be for that reason why some players turn around and don’t even trying to deflect the ball??? (now I understand) turning around, not only looks bad, the goalie can’t save the ball, and can be fatal because if the ball hit your back of your head, can be fatal!!!  Why, anybody knows why everyone in the wall has to be facing the shooter??

No idea?? Ask me….

On other writing I tried to explain why the last couple of times I failed coaching. I need lots of time to explain to the players, how, when, etc etc…. And time is money!!! And I don’t have and I hate to charge money to show my philosophy!!!  Someday a young coach, or/and an owner of a club gets interested…. and voilà!!?
