Win? It’s an attitude

The football champioship is made ​​up of many games, and the result of a Sunday does not determine for sure who will win it. It’s also true, however, that there are days that have more significance than others and the results of these matches bring any advantage not only defined in terms of points won or lost, but that also have a strong psychological impact. It ‘s the case of this last match of the championship in which Juventus had to show that it is in not in crisis and win a game in a convincing way, while Napoli and Lazio, the direct pursuers just three points, they had to prove themselves to have acquired that psychological maturity that allowed them to win to continue to keep up the pressure on Juventus and prove themselves to be able to maintain the pace you need to stay on top. Well Juve’s won (4-0 vs Udinese) while the other two have missed the target. The difference between dominate and tie is made of episodes, but what matters is the awareness of having to stay focused and always fighting at a high level. These features are missing at Napoli and Lazio, who have yet to grow from this point of view.

Free thoughts after reading the newspapers

Free thoughts after reading the newspapers. Napoli FC were canceled two penalty points, after that a month ago it was given this sentence for sport fraud, this is no longer true. Things you do, to make the championship more interesting. De Rossi, one of the best players in Italian football, playing few matches this year,  because the coach, Zeman, does not get along with him. Like children dragging their feet “do not make you more my friend.” In contrast Sneijder, Inter player, has not played for months, I do not know the reasons; possible that the disagreement with the coach is so deep that did not find a way to work. I have always my idea that to earn too much money can destroy the professional relationships. Everyone thinks he’s a little king, who does not want to give up his portion of pride. Milan is forced to focus on older players because they are the only champions who are willing to come in Italy. Is it better the experience of those who no longer runs and has no more certain hunger for victory to that of other less talented but perhaps more motivated? In addition to football, the newspapers write just about those sports where there are a lot of money (tennis, golf, NBA, cycling, motor sports) or individual athletes as long as they are rich and famous. The other sports are just a few times a year, when someone wins a world event or perform amazing feats.

Napoli football team problems

The problem of the Napoli football team, as shown in the game lost yesterday against Bologna, is the attitude during the match. It’s something that in my opinion is untrained, because it is assumed that they have the skills to play it well enough to put the players in a position to be able to do in the field. My idea is different. In fact, the competence in play as we know depends on the integration of two components, which are the skills acquired and the attitude (how to behave in the field). In essence, it is not enough to be skilled, the players must know how to show it in the game, improving the attitude Napoli will continue to play well but it will also do it in the face of opponents.

The Naple’s poor determination

The problem is not that Napoli has hardly ever shot on goal or, as has been said in TV by Caressa, the game was changed from two separate episodes. It needs to understand how it has come to these two facts, otherwise we confuse the effects with the causes. Footballers of Naples are certainly committed but obviously not enough. This is because not enough commitment, you also want to get a result. Let me explain. Commitment is a prerequisite without which any discussion on the performance becomes void, but you have to engage with a purpose, otherwise you may only run. This has been my perception of the game of Naples: a lot of effort but not aimed at a result. For example, you have to deal with an opponent and this commitment is the means to achieve the intended purpose, which is to take the ball. In my opinion, part of the responsibility of the coach of Naples in the days before the match against Juventus has been to say that he was tired and he would like to take a rest at the end of the season. But as you can, before such an important match, transmit determination with sentences of this type. Phrases showing that Mazzarri undergoes stress rather than dominate and that affect the belief of the team in its-self. But why does not he think before to speak if what he says is useful to the team?

Tecnica, psiche e tattica

Nel gioco del calcio per prima viene la tecnica, cioè bisogna sapere giocare. Poi viene la mente, determinazione e voglia di vincere. Infine per terza arriva la tattica, perchè che dice a calciatori dotati di tecnica individuale e di una mente pronta come è meglio giocare. L’opposto non può funzionare, se domina la tattica nell’insegnamento, non è detto che i giocatori ci mettano la testa per capire. Se ciò ha una probabilità di essere vero, stasera l’Inter giocherà un’ottima partita, perchè ha tecnica e testa e Ranieri avrà fatto un buon lavoro da allenatore-psicologo. Lo stesso vale per il Napoli, non deve farsi prendere dalla sindrome di dovere dimostrare che merita la Champions, deve solo giocare come sa fare sfruttando la tecnica e la testa: gestire le emozioni della matricola questo è il compito della squadra e del suo leader.
