I can cope with a bad first touch, a player who is not very skilled when on the ball or even with problems to focus and concentrate. However, what I will not tolerate and I can not stand at all is indifference.
Please, see in the following videos some examples of the intensity and determination we need on our sessions in order to achieve our goals/ dreams.
** Basically Coach Cholo Simeone ( coach of Atlético de Madrid, the team who is the 1st position in La Liga over FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. And they were able to do that with only 20% of the budget of those two teams) is explaining that if you are inside the rondo pretending that you are defending or doing it at 90%....this is not the exercise, this is not the standard. Because, during an official game that level of performance will imply that the ball will break our defensive lines. Therefore, you have to give your all to intercept that ball.
** Quick transitions, everyone is proactive, ready for the next steps, they go to the ground tackling, they are vocal, focused, , etc.
In short, do not take for granted the practices, because there is no elevator to the success, you have to take the stairs.
After all, I did not swim across the Atlantic pond just to see you walking or standing around. ; P
Buenas Noches.
Thanks for taking time to do these posts. They are really helpful. I love to see that we do some of the same drills as the USWNT!
