Dear PSG, thank you so much for saving football yesterday.

[Eelco Schattorie @ESchattorie]

They did not show any replays or discussed this moment what so ever during the game (half time ) or after the game. Why? No VAR check, not one replay, not one discussion !!!!! It went under the carpet if you ask me

new angle just dropped.

how on earth was this not given😂😂

They did not even show any replay after or discussed it half time. That only means one thing 😎

Isn’t that a 1000000% penalty ? Handsball can’t be more obvious

Securing 2nd place and being runners up is a great achievement. Making a next step will need some more additional ingredients. Good cooperation makes that happen 🙏👍

The 7’s Model is built around one core: Shared Values & Culture.

Strategy, Structure, Systems, Staff, Skills & Leadership Style must all align with it.

Culture drives behavior, standards, accountability & consistency.
Strong culture stabilizes performance.

[Rohit Rajeev @keralista]

@ESchattorie Hi Eelco, can you please share what are the 7's model for building culture ? Thanks.

[Trish Stang @trishstangret]

Very interesting

[Eelco Schattorie @ESchattorie]

Recruitment and culture are for sure linked !!! Culture has many Pilar’s and recruitment is part of the pillar systems in place. It’s part of the 7’s model that build culture. My point is that this move is like a sheep in wolves clothes but we will never know. Cheers buddy

[Jürgen's Kop @whipsnade19]

Fair point on recruitment... I actually agree recruitment plays a huge role. Poor recruitment can absolutely accelerate decline because the wrong profiles affect both performance and dressing room dynamics.

But I think where we differ is the Salah part.

To me, Salah’s statement reads more like a senior player protecting the club’s identity rather than attacking Slot personally.

He specifically spoke about:
standards
identity
mentality
heavy metal football
.... what Liverpool should represent long term

That sounds more like concern for the club’s direction than a political move.

And honestly, if recruitment is poor, that itself can impact culture too. Bring in players who don’t fit the behavioural and football identity of the club, and eventually the collective habits start changing... However, to be fair acclimatisation does differ with regards to time for some players.

So I actually think recruitment and culture are linked rather than separate issues.

[Eelco Schattorie @ESchattorie]

All I agree on what you say but the downfall this season is pure and alone because of recruitment being wrong. My point overall is that Mo Salah speaks out now because behind the scene someone is cooperating with him to get Slot out and that someone in the back in.

[Jürgen's Kop @whipsnade19]

You’re misunderstanding the point.

Culture doesn’t disappear overnight. But culture can slowly erode when the behaviours, standards and identity that sustained success are no longer reinforced consistently.

Winning one title doesn’t automatically mean the culture is still intact beneath the surface.

That’s exactly why Salah’s words matter. He didn’t talk about tactics first. He spoke about identity, mentality, standards and what Liverpool should feel like as a club.

"Heavy metal football" wasn’t just a tactical shape. It was intensity, aggression, collective mentality, emotional resilience and behaviour under pressure.

Tactics are easier to change. Culture is harder to sustain.

And when pressure hits... injuries, transitions, setbacks, poor form... teams rarely fall back on diagrams. They fall back on habits and identity.

That was the point

[Eelco Schattorie @ESchattorie]

And what are you trying to say? That a team that last year was champion suddenly lost its culture in a year? What a poor poor analyses and Salah is just part of an agenda from the background to kick out Slot so a specific person has chance to take over.

[Jürgen's Kop @whipsnade19]

A football club’s identity is not built by tactics alone.

Identity is formed by culture.
Then comes your strategy.

Too often, clubs try to implement other things
before establishing the environment and behaviours needed to sustain them.

Culture shapes:

- standards
- habits
- mentality
- accountability
- emotional resilience
- collective behaviours

And repeated behaviours eventually becomes your identity. Only then should strategy emerge.

Because when pressure arrives...injuries, losses, transitions, setbacks... teams rarely fall back on tactics.

They fall back on their culture. Lose the culture and identity…eventually everything else starts to collapse with it.

Een doelgerichte steek onder water: Mohamed Salah vormt een serieuze bedreiging voor de baan van Arne Slot

[Eelco Schattorie @ESchattorie]

I guarantee you that in the background someone planned with Mo Salah to help put out that tweet and indirectly try to Push out Arne Slot. It so obvious from which corner this is pushed. Mo has nothing to lose and at same time help someone else to get in. Football is a dirty world

🚨🎙️ Roy Keane on West Ham’s disallowed goal for a foul on Arsenal’s Goalkeeper David Raya

"I tell ya what, that VAR decision is a complete and utter disgrace – an absolute joke!

All season long Arsenal have been crowding the goalkeeper on set-pieces, pushing, shoving, blocking – it’s been their main tactic from day one. We saw it clear as day against us at Old Trafford when Saliba backed straight into Bayindir, stopped him from making a proper save, and they nicked a goal through Calafiori. Nothing given. Not a murmur. But now, in a massive title-deciding match against West Ham, when it doesn’t suit them... suddenly it’s a foul on Raya? Are you kidding me?

What the hell are we even watching in this league anymore? It’s shameless, it’s embarrassing. At this rate just hand the title and the trophy over to Arsenal now, because it’s glaringly obvious what they’re trying to pull. Total, utter disgrace."

[Eelco Schattorie @ESchattorie]

How in the hell yesterdays goal West Ham-Arsenal in extra time be canceled by VAR?

[Eelco Schattorie @ESchattorie]

Modern coaching courses will tell you this doesn’t work. Yet all my career I’ve built patterns through repetition: repeat, repeat, repeat. First without defenders, then through situational coaching in game moments. Train recognition. Train timing. Train habits.

Dutch football is the foundation of tactical football. Period.A huge part of the Spanish coaching dominance & positional play philosophy traces back to Dutch football principles.The Dutch may never win a World Cup, but how football is played at the highest level,we are the root.

How do you decide if a coach is suitable or capable for a club. The best ones succeeded at one and failed at another. There is no formula. You are as strong as your tools you have available in the long run as a coach.
