@TheS_Resource Always downplay. There is no reason to show off to other coaches. I know what I taught my players and what matters most is that they add it to their game. When they execute it in a real game I give my boys a smile and a thumbs up. I could careless what other coaches think.
“It bothers me when people don’t recognise a footballer’s skill. It infuriates me because they do recognise a bicycle kick, since not everyone can do one, or a volley, or something spectacular.
But they don’t realise that hitting an 80 yard diagonal pass with a winger running behind the full back requires precision.
You have to make sure the ball gets past the winger and drops perfectly into the full back’s space. You need to visualise where the ball should land, calculate the player’s speed, beat the right back, time the pass perfectly, and have 360 degree vision, not just forward.
People underestimate a footballer’s skills because we make it look easy. They think they can play football.
I always say: yes, you can play football, but at that level, football will play you.”

@AdvFtbAcad I try to do this with my boys and I got negative feedback from Club officials that my drills are to advanced and that I need to dumb it down. All they are doing is moving more. I guess movement equals advanced in their eyes.
@mattdanaher When does the defender ever go out wide before pressing you. That press is coming straight from the back in game. The player turning always has the advantage because the defender has to choose a side to press from.
@talijan86@JOGOFUNCIONAL1@Effmatch This. Especially when you have a 8 or 9 player roster and are trying to work on build out. The mini goals are positioned in zones where a player would be standing if we had the numbers. Make it work.
u9 coach.
@Brandon5Cruz@TheBolivianYank A few you mean the players who are in europe? Honest I see 3 realistic options Richards T.A. and Tillman.
And only one will be a definite starter C.R. The other roster is the Worldcup team lol.
@Brandon5Cruz@TheBolivianYank Whatever. no reason to hype up Gold Cup talent. They are all Gold Cup material including Luna. Who knows if he even makes the 🇺🇸 roster for the WORLD CUP. There are levels to this.
It's funny that 🇺🇸 Gold cup players are 🇲🇽 World Cup starters.
@real17_dd@DiegoKochenFan@DarthMusk247@herculezg both national teams haven't won a world cup. I hear Liga MX is just as good as Europe. They can't transfer that over to the national team... Come on now...
@JohnRay65864573@gogasca@herculezg@USMNT They settled for the option that was more realistic for them. They are thinking about their careers. Can't blame them but they definitely settled.
