Beautiful representation of De Zerbi ball:
• 4-2 build-up structure
• 7v6+1 (GK) in the first phase
• Forwards pinning the defence/space between the lines
• Absorbing pressure inside/superiority outside
• Wide support to progress

Winning against the odds is often a result of work ethic & desire
Having greater talent alone does not always get you over the line
The underdog always has a chance & provides us with hope in sport & in life

Talent Identification is much more than just watching a player during training or games.
What is their mindset like?
Their desire?
Life off the pitch?
Family support?
Genetics?
Never rule out anyone. The one's you least suspect can surprise you.

Don't over-complicate things.
Always remember why someone falls in love with football: Fun to play, exciting, enjoyable
No matter the level, players & coaches should never stray too far away from these reasons with your training & matches
#football#soccer#coaching#Messi
Every day is an opportunity.
Do not waste it.
Time is precious, make the most of it.
Have no regrets.
Work hard.
Achieve your goals.

"Futsal is an extremely important way for children to practice their skills on the ball as well as their understanding of the game. I got my feel for the ball and dribbling from Futsal."
- Ronaldinho

When you win,sometimes you are not as good as you think you were & when you lose, sometimes you are not as bad as you think you were
Do you spend more time analysing your game after a loss in comparison to a win?
Spend just as much time analysing wins & losses

Player development is a process that takes place over a long term period
Yet very few players&parents understand this, pushing for instant success, reward, promotion & selection after playing a good couple of games.
Impatience is a development killer

3/3 - If they do not understand an elite setup, how can they prepare players for it?
Greater exposure to elite football environments & setups for youth coaches is a must
#football#soccer#coach#coaching#footballer
2/3 - But how many of these coaches who are responsible for developing the next generation of professional footballers been exposed to elite professional football? Have they had an opportunity to experience an elite professional football environment&full time pro training?
1/3 - Elite professional first team football...
Thousands of coaches work with youth players to develop & prepare them for professional football.
