We need a collective idea in terms of some organization, some structure, some clear things so after you can express yourself as a football player.
I think this is a collective sport and everything has to be
We have to have a system that gives us a floor, let's say.
Even if we don't play incredibly well, we are not having our best day as football players, there is a system behind us, there is a collective that will give us a high floor.
I always say, let's raise our floor, and then when we are playing amazingly and we are having the day, it looks incredible.
But I think the coaching side is like, okay, let's put the structure there, the organisation there,
And after you have to trust your players.
In this case, for me, it's easy because I have very good players.
Do you think it's important to allow the players to make mistakes, that we've got to embrace that they will make mistakes and we should be supporting them through their mistakes?
Yes, the margins now in football are
are very small, no?
And as Federer says, you know, you are going to lose points, you are going to have the moments where you are going to lose balls, you are going to make mistakes, you are defenders, the keeper is going to be a big mistake, it's going to cost us a goal and we have to get over this and show these players the support and give them a collective idea, organisations where we are allowed to make mistakes, where I always say let's try to
Loose balls
But if we are ready to recover quickly, those losses are not expensive.
So if they are not expensive and we can recover the ball back quicker, we can allow ourselves to make even more mistakes and to take this risk in the last pass that if it works, it's lovely.
If it doesn't work, okay, we will be there to support and to minimize those mistakes.
You cannot play football and threat a little bit of, I'm not gonna risk it, I'm not gonna lose the ball.
there is a moment where okay we are working here so you can be here there in between the lines in in a position where you have to risk in your turn you have to risk in the one two you have to risk and we have to assume that sometimes it's not gonna work and we should be ready not to cover for that mistake
Yeah, yeah.
I think it's the nature of the game.
