This Tom Rinaldi feature on Pochettino last night was really good. The joy on his mom's face when she talks about him getting hired by the USMNT is incredible.
Bielsa explained that the Uruguayan players asked him to shorten his 10-minute team talks
I understand that today's youth struggle with attention.
But is it right that PROFESSIONAL players who earn millions can't concentrate for 10 minutes? Should coaches adapt? I don't know...
The ever-impressive Eric Dier. A future manager in the making? 🤔
Watch him mic'd up live in action on his UEFA B Licence, coaching the AS Monaco academy.
Mauricio Pochettino said that ‘American sports reward losers’ when asked about the style of play in top European nations vs. in the U.S. 😯🇺🇸
QUESTION: “We know how England, France, Spain play… Players from countries with a strong tradition have a recognizable style. What is the style of the US team? What kind of football do the Americans want to play?”
ANSWER: “Their culture is playful. They want to play. We told them, “Guys, playing soccer is one thing, competing is another.” They’re two completely different sports. They grow up in a culture of playing. Why? If you start in MLS and you haven’t won a game in three months and you’re at the bottom, what’s the consequence if there’s no promotion or relegation, no international competition? American sports reward losers! But soccer is different: if you reward those who don’t win… If you don’t have goals, you don’t fight. If I lose, what happens? Nothing. They just fire the coach. Also, the American player is disciplined. But with a sense of complacency that isn’t good in soccer. It took us a year and a half to change that mentality.”

Dick Bate was World renowned as a Coach developer - but very generous with his ideas, time & resources. He presented @ManUtd on the ‘Shadow striker’ sent me videos on ‘The Sweeper’ & slides below on ‘One stay - one go away - one come & play’ a memorable theme for midfield play
The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

Unai Emery on being told how hard he works:
🗣️ “Well I love my job. I have no problem working from 8 am to 8 pm, in front of a laptop, analyzing our team or other football teams, or preparing training sessions.”
“Look, I have a principle: in football, you can work 24 hours a day. There is always something you can do. For example, if you need a striker, you can watch every match of every potential striker you might want to sign.”
“It is possible, however, because the staff and I are not served by football; we serve football.”
