Soccer-Now

Football games are all about goals and is the winner. As a result, can hold a football mirror to life, as many people want to achieve the life, goals, and the winner to be in the game. There is much to be learned commentators and about life in general from soccer players, managers.

When you hear commentators on football matches, the keywords they use again and again, teams win when there are words about character and attitude asBelief, excitement, confidence, effort, and so on. Soccer skills and strategies are important but mean little without the right attitude.

Team manager call to focus their players to show determination and maximum effort. You tell them, you should expect to win and not too much respect for their opponents, regardless of how famous they are showing.

I love listening to the comments of the managers great football. They have all been to hell and back. They are praised andfavorite to win in their teams. They are criticized and even dismissed if their teams fail to win. You know the heights of euphoria and the depths of despair. You have to find ways to deal with and motivate their teams keep winning.

Gordon Strachan took over as manager of Celtic, one of the two best clubs in Scotland, in 2005. It was not long before he "experienced the worst night of my life"

Bratislava plays Celtic 5-0 in the Champions League, Europe's top competition. Hisstopped watching after the game and he still wears it to remind himself that it was the worst night of his life. Celtic had the pride of Scotland, had been humiliated by a lesser-known team.

Other losses seemed small to him by the comparison. We can all learn to deal with difficult situations that remind of us from the worst situations, employ in our past or imagining how much worse could be our life as they actually are.

None of us knows exactly what will happen to us tomorrow. We couldseriously ill or even dead. Gordon has faced this possibility. He told the media that he wants on his tombstone carved these words:

"This is better than that night in Bratislava."

He uses the humor of exaggeration, consider the criticism of the media when something goes wrong. One reporter commented, when his team lost a game in Scotland:

"Bang, there goes your unbeaten. Can you?"

"No," said Strachan. "I'll just crumble like a wreck. I willgo home
Become an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Hmmm …. I think I can
Take it, yeah. "

He knows the importance of positive thinking, if you want to succeed.
A reporter asked stupid: "There are no negative vibes or negative feelings here?"

Strachan said: "Apart from yourself, we are all quite positive round here.
I'll whack you over the head with a big stick, the negative man
down. "

Strachan speaks often with disarming honestyStudents and cheek. He is willing to admit that he and his players are not always at their best. He is ready to face the reality. Opposite the reality is an important feature of the successful.

If he managed a team in England, a reporter asked him: "So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?"

Strachan said: "In what areas? Especially that big green outside …."

Strachan has his defeats, but recently he has his latest team, Celtic, led touncontested victory in the Scottish Premier League. It is widely accepted as a great manager.

Another great manager now works in the English Premier League. He is Jose Mourihno, manager of Chelsea. He came to England in June 2004 and soon showed his confidence in himself and his players. He wants to be judged solely on the results. A good manager wins. A bad one loses:

"I am not a supporter of the old or new football manager. I believe in good and bad, those whoSuccess and those who do not. Please do not call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I am a very special "

Soon turned out to be as a "special" in England and in Portugal, his home. As the name "Special", he believes in himself proposes a large road. A decisive factor for its success in England is his self-confidence and a rich Russian Backer, which it can buy the best players in Europe. You can bet sure money that Chelsea wins almost alltheir games.

The chances are not great, but it was on Chelsea to win £ 100 and provide a simple £ 26 from your bet. Of course, this does not always work. No team is perfect!

Mourinho is passionate about soccer, however, retains his sense of perspective and humor. Recently he was asked in London whether he over the loss of the championship to his main rivals, Manchester United concerned. His response was typical of him:

"No, I'm more concerned bird flu." Theassembled press began to laugh.

"Seriously, it is that swan in Scotland that concerns me. It is not so far from here!" (The Swan, the first creature with bird flu in the United Kingdom in 2006)

In the last weeks of his team, Chelsea, players have been criticized sent off for breaking the rules. When Jose was asked about his success away from home against West Brom, he commented ironically:

"Maybe we won because we played with ten men. This is our best tactic whenMoment. "

However, he recognizes that the main reason Chelsea win as often as follows: "We have top players and, sorry, when I'm arrogant, we have a top manager."

Public confidence is so rare that in Britain it is often mistaken for arrogance.

Jose in not having to favorite think he believes in the power of the team, rather than the individual:

"I do not want special relations with one of them (his players). I hate to talk about people not. Player, you winTrophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies. "

Another great manager Harry Redknapp from Portsmouth. He commented on his players in a match with Burnley which ended in a 2-2 draw:

"When the crowd on her back was no one wanted to try anything if they got booed. They were defensive and wanted to avoid mistakes."

Harry understands human psychology. If we are to make the stupid mistakes that occur, or we fail to make it happen and things do not worry, we willfully utilize our skills. We go into our tanks and safe play.

I remember like this, when I played cricket at school feeling. I have tried to avoid anywhere near the ball when I dropped a catch. It was many years ago I realized I was pretty good catch!

One commentator said: "Harry knows how his team is and how to restore the confidence of her. Now they have to expect. Victory at Fratton Park (Portsmouth, the earth). They are convinced they will win"Recently they have won three games in a row and are on their way to escape relegation to a lower division.

Another manager Stuart Pierce, of Manchester City also knows the importance of trust: "We have to go out and really believe we can play a bit."

What success lessons can we learn from the above?

Skill is important but attitude is more important. We should expect to win and not to show too much respect for the obstacles in the way of people or whether theyotherwise, and whether real or imaginary. We in our own abilities to believe and expect to win, even if this makes us look arrogant.

We should remind ourselves loss of grip, that it be so much worse. Circlips our sense of humor also helps. Teamwork is a key factor for many types of performance. We should not be concerned about life, making mistakes, whether we play football or cricket or the game.

We must face up to reality and be preparedby the results we achieve as well as the effort we put in. On the whole, I think the effort we expend is judged to be important. We can not always control the results, but we can show the charges that we can rely on the same manager to lose with a team and win with another control. He is still the same person, and he still has the same effort.

I'll have with a last quote from Gordon Strachan, who has left both a win and a losing manager:

A reporter asked: "Gordon, we can make aquick word? "

"Velocity," said Gordon, as he walked away.
