Category: Coaches Education on 20 May 2010

“The great fallacy is that the game is first and foremost about winning"
Category: Coaches Education on 17 May 2010

“The great fallacy is that the game is first and foremost about winning. It’s nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It’s about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom”

-Danny Blanchflower’s immortal sermon from 1972

China to send 500 teenagers to Europe for training over 5 years
Category: Coaches Education on 17 May 2010
By Liu Zhen and Nick Mulvenney

BEIJING, April 21 (Reuters) - China will send up to 500 teenagers to train at top European clubs over the next five years, according to the Chinese Football Association (CFA).

The plan by China’s new football chief Wei Di is aimed at developing the country’s most talented players between the ages of 15 and 17, who are expected to spend two or three years at various European clubs in small groups of five or six.

“We are working on the details of the project. There will be 80-100 players dispatched to Europe each and every year from this year on,” CFA spokesman Dong Hua told Reuters by telephone.

Chinese media said Spain ’s La Liga would be the major destination as Wei believes there is a similarity in body size and strength between Chinese and Spanish footballers.

“We have been in good cooperation with many European FAs and clubs,” said Dong. “We want our young players with the best potential to train in the Spanish, English, German, Italian and Dutch leagues, which have the highest standards of youth development.”

This will be the latest attempt by China to produce elite footballers through training overseas, following the first squad sent to Hungary in the 1950s and more recent groups who spent long periods in Brazil and Germany .

The Age of Street Football
Category: Coaches Education on 02 May 2010

STREET FOOTBALL  by John Cartwright

 The glory days of Street Football in the UK ran, more or less, from the early 1900’s through to the late 1950’s. Small pockets may have survived in some of the more economically deprived areas of the country beyond the 50’s but generally, as economic prosperity increased, Street Football ‘died’.

A similar situation occurred in some Western European countries, although the demise of the street game has not happened so swiftly in some parts where economic progress has only moved forward slowly. In these deprived areas of Europe and in other parts of the football world, the street game is still played and enjoyed by millions on open spaces, beaches as well as in streets because of the simplicity to organize and play it.

Freddy Awho?
Category: Coaches Education on 20 Apr 2010
Stray dogs. Freddy Adu sees them everywhere in Thessaloníki. Scavenging trash in the vacant lot by his practice field. Wandering in packs outside the hotel he called home for two months. Shadowing pedestrians with enough menace to spark visions of giant-needled rabies shots. Greece's second-largest city is beautiful in many respects: the seaside beaches, the bustling restaurants, the sigh-inducing women. But no matter how hard Adu tries, he can't avoid the stray dogs.
