The relevance of adaptation is not only evident in the history of evolution, but also in the choices that we make in the decisive moments. This is what happened Sunday regarding Juventus – Roma. Juventus coach, Antonio Conte, has prepared the team, changing the way they play so as to adapt it to the module of Rome. “If that is the case we change our nature” said Conte, it means to have the awareness to recognize the value of the opponents, recognizing their strengths – to reduce – and weaknesses – do emerge – . It would have been easier to play using the quality with which Juventus has emerged in Italy in the past two years (ball possession and high intensity) but against Rome that would be harmful. Instead he acted as suggested by Sun Tzu in The Art of War that he’s genius who shows ” the ability to secure the victory by fighting and adapting to the enemy” and “who is prudent, waiting with patience who is not .” Juventus suits and wins.

The match of tonight is Roma-Napoli, the first against second in the Italian championship, and we expect a very good match between two teams who take few goals and that mark with ease. The two coaches are individuals who are not wasted in controversy between them and they are teaching players to think about one match at a time without fitted to the head of their achievements in the league. Roma have to fear of a team that has scored 10 goals so far only in the first half of the matches, which although often do not decide the game, of course, give a practical and emotional advantage . A mistake that teams must avoid is to think about what it will happen if they win, they must not bring his head to the future, especially those who will score first they have to continue to maintain the same kind of concentration had up to that time. For Napoli it will be more useful to have in the eyes the victory with Borussia and certainly not one with Arsenal. It ‘s always best to remember the victories rather than dwell too much on the flaws. What it can stop the game of the two teams is the fear of losing, not being used to playing high-level matches like this one. The role of the coaches i , in relation to this aspect, absolutely decisive to transmit confidence to the players as a team. The confidence with which they will start the match is dependent on them and on how the most significant players in each team will effectively interpreting their role. Have fun.
The change of Roma attitude during the matches and its consequences: best play, individual fighting spirit, strong cohesion and sense of belonging is a positive not only for Roma, first in the championship, but for Italian football. The first step towards this change came from the different organization of the management, clearer, with no overlap in key leadership roles, which led to the choice of the players to be sold and which ones to enter, paying attention to the budgetary needs and to take not only good players but also with the personality needed to play at a high level. The second step is represented by the choice of a coach not glamorous or philosopher but concrete. From the psychological point of view he is like the classic father’s harsh but fair; so players have felt respected and from this new environment and the interweaving of these relations was born the actual team condition. This result shows that in order to win a team must have an effective corporate organization and a coach (the team leader) that enhances the players, not excluding them for a personal prejudice and enforcing rules simple and well defined. Only then starts the technical and tactical coaching.
The Italian football championship this year is so far the most interesting of these years, because it brings out new situations with which the teams have to face beyond their technical level:
Juve must demonstrate that it continues to have the will to win and the Conte’s dramatization related to Pirlo, not just any one, who did not go to the bench after replacing him but in the locker room it’s a sign of how the coach considers decisive to share what happens in the field from the bench to uphold the players’ determination.
Napoli have a match with it seems easy against Sassuolo but it should not think to have already won the game, this is certainly one of the games in which it can be measured the team willingness to win the championship.
Roma was often a team that at the first positive results thought to be already at an end the championship, it must show patience, forget about winning matches and stay focused only to play the next game.
Milan has many problems including injuries and mental weaknesses of Balotelli. Of course, as everyone says Mario is at a crossroads, scrambling like Cassano or become the symbol of Italian football talent, but who helps him? Not just the good will of the player or tell him to change because that happens, he needs someone to lead him to become an adult.
Inter started well also in the last season but it continued bad, it will change this year? Mazzarri looks more confident and convinced Stramaccioni and this is important.
Roma and Napoli have an internal enemy that they must beat, this is the euphoria to be since a long time alone at the top and have won their first four matches, the last of which was particularly rich in meaning . For Roma it was the derby against Lazio, which is perhaps the most important match to play in the season and often in this city has the value of an entire season. Napoli has not won since the days of Maradona with AC Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, the Scala of football. Therefore, these two wins have certainly boosted the confidence of these teams in their capabilities. At this point it could be possible fall into the trap of euphoria, where everything seems to be positive and the team starts to play with lower concentration, especially the matches perceived as easier. If this happens it would be a serious error, that the two coaches should avoid. Games with teams that do not aspire to the top of the ranking should be addressed to the maximum of the commitment, because if the teams lose these points they cannot be recovered. They will then direct matches with the other best teams that will determine who will win the championship, but if they have lost points, any successes in direct confrontation does not allow to outdistance the other teams. Therefore, the mentally toughest games are those that appear more obvious. In this regard it’s necessary that the teams should remember that in football the goal is a rare event and that sometimes just a shot to do a goal, while other times 10 shots are not enough.
While in Roma many argue are against the decision of the major, Ignazio Marino, to close the Colosseo area to the car traffic. In London 50,000 cyclists are expected to ride the eight-mile traffic free route through central area over the two-day London FreeCycle to diffuse an eco-compatible life style.
It has been opened in Rome today one playground for children from 0 to 6 years that allows them to move, reach out and try games that are suitable for each children. It’s in fact organized on different themes each of which is adapted to the age of the child. It’s a good news the opening of this thematic park, it means that we are starting to spread the culture of the movement proper to everyone. The importance of the child growth from the very beginning, its sensory-motor development combined with proper nutrition, and the opportunity to integrate with the others: these are the foundations of the new frontier of social responsibility plotted by Laboratory 0246, Association of Social Promotion who was born in Treviso (Italy), from the strong experience within sport and social environments by Verde Sport, a company operating in the sports branch for the Benetton Group, who has decided to focus its attention on children from 0 to 6 years of age, and their families.
Rudi Garcia is the new coach of Roma footbal team and he started bad the relationship with the environment of the Roma supporters, saying that anyone who contests the team is a Lazio fan. It seems to me that it is not certain this stage of the year to appear combative and aggressive by a coach to his early days working with a new team. Rather, it is the time to understand the reasons for these dislikes, to understand the social and sport environment in which he is entering. Understanding does not mean please the fans, because there is a way to understand the moods and at the same time condemn the lack of respect for the players. To become immediately angry shows we react to the frustration of the protests only insulting the fans. I agree with the coach who is tough in his statements but he must go on the ball and not the on the player, in other words it’s fine to condemn the way of the protest, but not the protest itself that is legitimate expression of dissent.
“My mother came to watch the matches of Campo Testaccio in Rome when she was pregnant with me. And to those who asked if he feared to give birth in the stands answered, maybe.” Adriano Verdolini teaches sociology at the University La Sapienza and now is one of the few Romans to be able to describe, also thanks to the stories of parents, who were breathed atmosphere in Campo Testaccio.
This is one of many Italian shame, it’s not the only one because many other cities have examples of this type. But all this takes place in Rome, in a historical district of the city devoid of green spaces and sports facilities. And then is the first stadium where the Roma football team played till the end of the ’30s. In fact, the structure was designed by engineer Silvio Senses, Franco’s father (Chairman of the Roma’s third title), modeled on the English stadiums (especially on the Everton). He had four stands of wood painted with team colors (yellow gold and Pompeian red), which had a capacity of 20,000 spectators and a grass field whose dimensions could be adjusted according to the team’s needs. Testaccio also included the home of the coach, a building on the outside wall which was painted the team colors
Campo Testaccio is a very important piece of history, and not only for the Roma fans. You have to imagine a district formed at the beginning of the 900 when it was built a football stadium where everyone did the crowd to watch Rome and those who do not have the money to pay the ticket watched the match from Monte dei Cocci from which enjoyed an excellent view of the field. In more recent years in this field played the children of the Football School Testaccio but since 2009 this field is abandoned and is a place of rubble due to poor interaction between private and public administration. In fact, the City of Rome had given him permission to build parking lots under the field with a promise to return in a few months at the School Football field, but this has not happened. Now it has formed a committee, # RivoglioCampoTestaccio, to give this green space and sports in the area, because the bureaucracy and legal loopholes cannot continue to block a good of all, because it is no longer enough to be angry and to wait but you have to act on situations that can improve the life of a neighborhood.
Looking at the qualifying matches for the Italian International Tennis Tournament in Roma that began today is immediately apparent the poor of mental education of the young tennis players in the game. The routine between the games is often absent, you can see that the layer never usu the mental repetition of the service before its execution, often they do not even the same number of bounces with the ball before serving. In this sense, I can say that they do not follow any kind of mental training program but even they do not serve in a adequate state of mental readiness. I hope I was not too bad but if they keep doing it this way they cannot go very far in the tennis career.
