 COLLECTIVE COMPETENCE

TRIUMPHS – ACHIEVEMENTS

     THOSE WHO PRESENTS BIGGER COLLECTIVE COMPETENCE IS NEARER TO CONQUER, TRIUMPHS. IT IS THE CAPACITY TO DEDICATE INDIVIDUAL EFFORT IN FAVOUR OF THE GROUP, HITTING A SYNERGISTIC FORCE, FAR SUPERIOR THAN THE SIMPLE SUM OF THE EFFORTS INDIVIDIALLY.

TECHNICAL QUALITY – IT IS IMPORTANT THE INDIVIDUAL TECHNICAL CAPACITYAND THE INTER-COMPLEMENTARITY TO FORM A COHESING TEAM AND CAPABLE TO OBTAIN SUCCESS MORE THAN EPHEMERAL. THE TECHNICAL QUALITIES OF THE POSITIONS AND FUNCTIONS VARIES AS THE TIME GOES, FORCING THE COACH TO OBSERVE, BASED IN THE EVOLUTION OF FOOTBALL THE FEATURES OF THE FUTURE, GIVING THE FIRST STEP, IDENTIFYING THE BEST PLAYERS TO EXECUTE THE NEW FUNCTIONS (SOMETIMES, NOT THE BEST PLAYER). FOR EXAMPLE: MODERN DEFENSIVE MIDDLEFIELDERS AND DFENDERS NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PLAY, START PLAYING WITH PASS, GOING FORWAR AND GOING TO THE ATTACK, AS WELL AS THE STRICKERS (USED TO COME BACK WALKING WITH THE HANDS IN THE WAIST) THEY NOWADAYS NEED TO DEFFEND, AND DONG IT WELL NOT TO ALLOW THE OPONNENT BUILT FROM THE BACK. VERY DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY THE BEST FOR EACH POSITION, COMBINING, MATCHING TH, AND ONE DETAIL CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

     WITHOUT A SUPERIOR TECHNICAL QUALITY IT IS NO USE SOBERB PHUSICAL CONDITION OR MIRABOLANTES TACTICS

PHYSICAL CONDITION – MODERN FOOTBALL DEMANDS PHYSYCAL VAKENCES IN VERY HIGH LEVELS FROM ALL THE PLAYERS. WITH SMALL DIFFERENCES IN ACCORDING TO THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POSITION OR FUNCTION. ALL OF THEM NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK INTENSIVELLY AND IN SPEED FOR 90 MINUTES OR MORE, SINCE ALWAYS THERE ARE ADDITIONS, AND SOME OF THE GAMES HAVE EXTRA TIME. WHICH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN PLANNING, SINCE MANY TIMES THEY ARE DECISIVE MOMENTOS OF THE COMPETITIONS.

      IN THE DISTANT PAST THE POSITIONS OR FUNCTIONS´ CHARACTERISTICS WERE MUCH MORE SPECIFICS, POSSIBLE TO PREPAIR A PLAN ALMOST INDIVIDUALIZED OU IN SMALL GROUPS, BEING THE GOALKEEPERS AGILE AND WITH GOOD MEMBERS REFLEX OF MEMBERS; WING BACKS WITH AGILITY AND EXPLOSIVE POWER IN THE LEGS TO FOLLOW THE ROOT WINGERS; CENTRAL BACKS, USUALLY TALL, STRONG, NEEDING SPEED REATION, AS TRUCKS SLOPE DOWN TO RECOVER LOST POSITION MARKING STRIKERS, AND GOOD IMPULSION; MIDDLEFIELDERS WITH PECULIAR ENDURANCE TO WORK HARD, UP AND DOWN GO AND COME BACK, DEFEND AND ATTACK, ORGANIZE, BESIDES GOOD CO-ORDINATION, THEY ARE THE LOUNGHS, HEART AND BRAIN OF THE FOOTBALL´S TEAMS; WINGERS FAST, AGILE, EXPLOSIVE LEGS´POWER. IT WAS POSSIBLE TO FORM ONE GROUP WITH THE WING BACKS.

     I REMEMBER TO HAVE READ A PUBLICATION WITH A COOPER TEST OF THE BRAZILAN NATIONAL TEAM 1970, WORLD CHAMPION, BEST PHYSICAL CONDITIONING (CHIROL AND PARREIRA), WHEN A KING RUN ABOUT 2800 METERS IN 12 MINUTES. NOWADAYS PLAYERS RUN AROUND 14 KILOMETERS IN 90 MINUTES. AS COOPER TEST IS NO LONGER DONE, WE CAN NOT TRACE A PARALEL, BUT IT IS FAR BEYOND>

WITHOUT SUPERIOR PHYSICAL CONDITIONING ARE UNHELPFUL TECHNICAL QUALITIES AND FANTASTIC TACTICS. IF POSSIBLE WE WOULD SEE ALL OLD PLAYERS STILL PLAYING.

TACTICAL OBEDIENCE – BESIDE THE INDIVIDUAL TACTICAL QUALITIES, IT IS IMPORTANTTO CONSIDER THE GENERAL TACTIS’ PLAN, WITH THE BASIC SYSTEMS, DERIVATICS AND ALTERNATIVES (AND FUTURISTICS EXPERIEMENTS AND STUDIES TO PUT THE FOOTPRINT IN THE HISTORY, AS CHAPMAN, ZAGALLO, RINUS AND OTHERS), DIFFERENTS AND DIVESRSES OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE TACTICS, BASICS, DERIVATIVES AND ALTERNATIVES – NEW EXPERIMENTS AS WELL TO INNOVATE), BUT ABOVE ALL OBSERVING THE CAPACITY OF TACTICAL OBEDIENCE TO THE ELABORATED CONCEPS, INCLUDED THE MOMENTS IN WHAT CREATIVITY AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION CAN BE USED DURNG THE GAME AND THE COMPETITION.

   WITHOUT A GOOD AND WELL ASSIMILATED TACTICAL PREPARATION AND, HUMILITY TO OBEY BLINDLY TACTICAL ORIENTATION AND PLANS, EACH PLAYER JUST PLAYING FOR HIMSELF, NO USE A SUPERB TECHNICAL CONDITION, EVEN A SUPERIOR ATHLETIC CONDITIONING. WE HAVE SEEN DREAM’S TEAMS IN CLUB AND SELECTIONS LEVEL DO NOT RICH SUCCESS, LOOSING IN THE DETAILS BY BREACH OF ONE OR MORE PLAYERS ABOUT THE PLAN STABLISHED.

BALANCE – IN ALMOST EVERYTHING IN LIFE BALANCE IS IMPORTANT, EVEN FUNDAMENTAL, SO IN FOTTBALL, WHEN THE OFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE ACTICVITIES SLHOULD BE BALANCED, BEING A GOOD OFENSIVE´S TEAM THAT DEFENDS WELL (ALSO FOR WISHING TO HAVE THE BALL TO ATTACK), OR A MORE DEFENSIVE ONE THAT ATTACKS WELL, IN THIS CASE, MORA COUNTER-ATTACKS.

     HAVING A TEAM 11 PLAYERS, BEING ONE THE GOALKEEPER TENDO UMA EQUIPE 11 JOGADORES, SENDO 1 O GOLEIRO, WILL BE LEFT 10 PLAYNG INSIDE, FROM WHERE, SINCE THE FIRST OLD SYSTEMS LIKE G -2 – 3 – 5, TO 5 WERE GIVEN THE TASK TO ATTACK, AND THE OTHER 5 DUTY TO DEFEND. SIMILARLY IN THE G – 4 – 2 – 4, 4 – 3 – 3, 4 – 4 – 2 AND 3 – 5 – 2. EVERYTIME WITH MORE MOBILITY AND CHANGES. A TEAM CAN BE CONSIDERED MORE OFENSIVE WHEN IT TAKES MORE RISKS, LAUNCHING MORE THAN 5 PLAYERS INTO THE LAST THIRD OF THE FIELD (ATTACKING ZONE), SO HAVING LESS PLAYERS TO DEFEND WHEN LOOSES THE BALL. IN THIS CASE  IT IS IMPORTANT TO COMBAT THE OPPONENT WITH THE BALL TO DELAY THE COUNTER-ATTACK, BECAUSE HAVE NUMERICAL INFERIORITY AND LOT OF SPACE BEHIND THE DEFENSE. IN OPPOSITE WAY, A DEFENSIVE TEAM IS ONE THAT KEEPS MORE THAN 5 PLAYERS IN THE DEFENSE LINE EVEN WHEN IS ATTACKING, NOT TO BE SURPRISED ANY TIME IN A GAME. SOME TEAMS ARE CHAMPIONS ALLOWING LESS GOALS, OTHERS SCORING MORE, IT DEPENDES OF THE SQUAD ONE HAVE AND THEOPPONENTS. PRACTICAL LESSONS OF OFENSIVITY WITHOU LOOSE THE BALANCE ARE THE TEAMS OF PEP GUARDIOLA (BARCELONA, BAYERN AND CITY) AND THE ONE OF KLOPP (LIVERPOOL).

     WITHOUT BALANCE BETWEEN ATTACK AND DEFENSE THE CHANCES TO ATTAIN SUCCESS ARE REMOTES, BEING FOOTBALL LIKE A SHORT BLANKET: YOU COVER THE FEET, UNCOVER THE HEAD, AND VICE-VERSA. IMPOSE TOUR SELF IN THE CHOOSEN “MODUS OPERANDI” IMPOR-SE NO MODUS OPERANDI ESCOLHIDO, AND TO SURPRISE, OCASIONALLY, FROM TIME TO TIME.

BOLDNESS – LIFE ALSO TEACHES US WHO NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED! SO, INDEPENDENTLY OF THE FUNDAMENTALS’ CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TEAM, AS OF THE PLAYER, COMPULSORY TO TRY SOMETHING NEW, EXCEED, IN THE RIGHT AND DECISIVE MOMENTS. AMONG ATTACKING PRINCIPLES, THE ONE IS FACTOR OF SURPRISING, WHEN PRICIPLES LIKE WIDTH, MBILITY AND PENETRATION DIDN´T WORK AND SUCCEED, NOR OVERCOMENING THE OPONENT DEFENSE, THE CREATIVITY, THE BOLDNESS AND IMPREVISIBILITY INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE ARE THE SOLUTIONS.

WITHOU A DIRECT PUNCH, A CROSSED, OR A UPPER CUT FROM TIME TO TIME, EVEN DOMINATED AND IMPOUNDED, THE FIGHTER ONLY CAN POOSE JABBING. DRAW NOWADAYS SUMS JUST ONE POINT (33,3%), IN THE PAST (50%), ONE POINT IN TWO, NOT BAD.

IF I COULD RECOMMEND FIFA BOARD OF LAWS SAY FIELD WITH 112 METERS X 76 M., WHERE AND WHEN OFENSIVE TEAMS WOULD HAVE MORE CONDITIONS TO SUCCEED AND TO PLAY THE “JOGO BONITO”.

COLLECTIVE COMPETENCE – TEAM WORK – ALREADY SEEN PARTIALLY IN TOPICS BEFORW, BUT NOW MORE SPECIFIC THE CAPACITY TO BOND NOT ONLY INE SECTOR OF THE TEAM, BUT THE WHOLE TEAM (11), MORE THAN THAT, THE SQUAD 28 – RECCOMENDED -,  33, EVEN MORE) LEAVING BESIDE OR BEHIND VANITY, JELOUSY, DEDICATING THEMSELVES TO THE FINAL RESULT, ALTHOUGH RECOGNIZING AND KNOWING THAT WINNING TEAMS USE TO HAVE ONE OR TWO PLAYERS MORE IMPORTANT, DECISIVES, FOR WHOM THE MAJORITY OF THE ACTIONS ARE PREPARED, SO THOSE WHO USUALLY WIN INDIVIDUAL TROPHIES (MOST OF THOSE CONCEED PRIZES ARE UNABLE NO SEE BRILLIANT WORK OF A MIDDLEFIELDER GUARD ANGEL, OR A KEY-CENTRAL BACK, EVEN THE JOB OF A MIDDLEFIELDER THAT CARRIES THE PIANO FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO PLAY STOPPING THE REFERENCE OF THE OPPONENT.

     IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE PLAYERS CAPABLE OF HAMONYZING WITH THE OTHERS, WORK HARD OF THE COACH-PSICHOLOGIST, OR OF THE PSICHOLOGIST HIMSEF IF THE CLUB HAS ONE – ALL TEAM SHOUD HAVE A TEAM OS PSICHOLOGISTS WORKING ALL CATEGORIES. THE COACH ALONE CAN´T SEE AND WORK ALL SITUATONS, THEN THE STAFF AND THE PSICHOLOGIST GIVE THE SUPPORT TO HARMONIZE THE COLLECTIVE COMPETENCE.

     WITHOUT THIS UNION AROUND AN IDEAL IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO REACH BLOOD IN THE EYES, OR THE MAGIC MOMENT, WHEN THINGS HAPPEN IN FAVOUR, THE WIND WITH THE TEAM, IMPOSSIBLE BALLS GET INTO THE BACK OF THE ADVERSARY’S NET, UNIQUE STOPPINGS BY THE GOALKEEPER. TEAM BROTHER, USE TO SAY A MASTER, ALEXANDRE REVOREDO, FITTED: PHODEO!

RESILIENCE – OVERCOMING – TO BEAT THE OPPONENT, MAJOR OBJECTIVE OF THE FOOTBALL, SCORING MORE GOALS THAN THE ADVERSARY, IT IS NECESSARY A LOT OF GOOD WORK, SOMETIMES YEARS OF JOB, AS IN THE PREPARATION TO GET A RECORD AT PLYMPICS ( 4 TO 8 YEARS). LIVERPOOL , MANY TIMES ENGLISH’S CHAMPIONS WAS FOR 30 YEARS WITHOU WINNING THE LEAGUE AND A GOOD PAIR OF YEARS WITH MANAGER KLOPP GOT IT AFTER WINNING THE CLUBS’ WORLDCUP AGAINST FLAMENGO. 

     BUT FIRST IT IS THE OVERCOMING INDIVIDUAL, BROKEN SELF RECORDS, UNIFYNG EFFORTS IN THE SEVERAL AREAS LIKE TECHNICAL, PHYSICAL, TACTICAL, AND THE PSICHOLOGIC, WITHOUT COUNTING THE SPIRITUAL ONE. WHEN GOOD IS THE PLAN CONSIDERING ALL FACTORS THE RELILIENCE APPEARS AND, PLAYERS LITTLE NOTTED BEFORE HIGHLGHT, REALIZING WONDERS, AS A PRODUCT OF HIS OWN EFFORT AND THE MAGICAL MOMENT OF THE TEAM. CONSISTENCE!

    WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE TEAM, NO ONE CAN OVERCOME LIMITS AND THE ADVERSARY. ONE BY ONE SHEETS OF PAPER ARE EASY TO CUT, BUT ALL TOGETHER AS A TELEPHONE CATALOG IT IS IMPOSSIBLE (SAID ONCE PELÉ IN A SPEECH TO THE BRAZILIAN U.17 IN ITALY)

TOTAL FOCUS – CONCENTRATION – MASTER PARREIRA, MENTHOR OF THE TOPICS ODF THIS WORK USES TO SAY THAT GOAL IS A QUESTION FO DETAILS, FULL OF REASON. THE SAME HAPPENS WITH THE GAME AS A WHOLE, EVEN THE WHOLE COMPETITION. THE CONCENTRATION. THE GENERAL FOCUS MUST BE TOTAL, FULL, COMPLETE, BODY AND SOUL, BECAUSE THE POWER OF A CHAINS IS THE ONE OF THE WEAKEST LINK, THE POWER OF A TEAM IS THE ONE OF THE WEAKEST AND LESS FOCCUSED PLAYER. 89 MINUTES PERFECT, BUT IN 1 MINUTOS, SECOND A PLAYER SLEEPS, FORGETS… DOZZET OFF, PIPE FALLS DOWN: DEFEATED 1 X 0. GO BACK HOME EARLY, CRYING, BECAUSE AT THE END JUST ONE LAUGHS, THE WINNER. MANY TIMES A GOOD  AND FOCCUSED PLAYER IS WITH A PROBLEM AND IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FELT AND SORTED OUT, LOSES FOCCUS; OTHERS LOOSE CONCENTRATION WHEN TIRED (REPLACEMENTE NEEDED BEFORE THE MISTAKE COMES);

WITHOUT FOCCUS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GO FAR.

I SAW MANY TEAMS WITH BIG TECHNICAL CAPACITY AND FOCCUSED THAT A CERTAIN POINT ITME SUFFERED WITH THE DELAY OF BONUS’ PAYMENTS, THEN SALARIES…FINISH… I SAW EACH ONE!

TO PLAY WITH JOY – PLEASURE – LOVE– IN EVERYTHING LOVE OVERCOMESBECAUSE HATING IS JUST THE ABSENCE OF LOVE. SO, WHO PLAYS WITH LOVING, FOR A FAIR CAUSE, WITH JOY, AND SATISFACTION HAVE MORE CHANCES TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL WORKS CAPABLE OF ENTRETAIN PEOPLE, SUPPORTERS. PREFERABLE TO WATCH A NICE SCREEN WITH NICE COMBINED COLLORS AND FORMS STROKING MY EGO THAN A POINTLESS COLLORS, OFFENSIVESM AGRESSIVES, FROM THE ONE JUST TRANSFERED GOOD OR BAD FEELINGS FROM THE SOUL TO THE BALL AND THE GAME.

WUTHOUT JOY AND PLEASURE EVEN PROFESSIONALS DON´T ACHIVE THEIR BEST.

DISCIPLIN – OBEDIENCE TO RULES, CONUTRY AND CLUB, TO THE SUPERIORS, AND REGULAMENT.

DISCIPLIN IS THE OBEDIENCE TO RULES AND LAWSSTABLISHEDFOR SPECIFIC GROUP. ALSO MAY REFERE TO THE COMPLAIANCE OF SPECIFICS RESPONSABILITIES OF EACH PERSON.

DISCIPLIN IS FUNDAMENTAL TO SUCCEED, TO CONQUER AND WALK WITH TIED HANDS, PAIR AND STEP.

IN THE BRAZILIAN FLAG WE HAVE TWO WORDS, BEING ONE THE CAUSE AND THE OTHER THE EFFECT: ORDEM E PROGRESSO – ORDER AND PROGRESS. SIMPLE LIKE THAT.

OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM AS A COUNTRY.

LOCAL CLUBS AND NATIONAL TEAMS MANY TIMES DIDN´T SUCCEED – HAVING GOOD CONDITIONS – DUE TO THE LACK OF DISCIPLIN AND RESPPECT.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION WITH RESONSABILITY! RESPECT! DIALOGUE! FAIR PUNISHMENTS!

 SUCCESS!!

SUCCESS IS EPHEMERAL, FLEETING!

REALLY GOOD IS PRESTIGE!!
