Appearances
A lot of balls coming in really fast, lifting little feet,
hitting them, falling over, no control.
Over time, what ends up happening with a developing football player is by about 14 or 15, if they stay with the sport, they can see the high ball coming in.
They anticipate the high ball.
They jump.
They chest the high ball.
They drop the ball to the ground.
They put their foot on the ball to maintain possession because that's the game.
Then they look down the pitch.
They find the striker.
They understand where the striker is in relation to the person in the goal.
And then they kick the ball down the pitch to not where the striker is standing, but to where the striker is going to be in a minute and a half, a second and a half.
So that's the evolution of on the pitch.
So I think...
For me, if you think about what that skill is to anticipate the high ball, chest the ball, drop it, maintain possession, look down the pitch, you're talking about a very serious cluster of skills.
You're talking about situational awareness, temporal awareness, anticipatory awareness, trust on team, training, and that's what we're missing for what we're facing.
Leadership.
And what we're missing even more than the gaffer or the coach is
I follow a lot of football.
I'm a big Liverpool fan.
