Der Philosoph des Generals - Frans Hoek at Bayern Munich |

Frans Hoek is the new goal keeper trainer at Bayern Munich. The Dutchman was the top choice for Louis Van Gaal - he should introduce a new philosophy of goal keeping to the club.
Immer wieder unterbricht er das Spiel, holt seine Jungs zu sich und
beginnt, große Bilder in die italienische Luft zu malen. Fast wie ein
Künstler, nur dass sein Werk wenig Interpretationsspielraum lässt.
Again and again he stops training, has the keepers come to him while he makes pictures in the air to
explain to his keepers what he wants. Almost like an artist, only his work leaves little for interpretation.
Es
ist unmissverständlich! Denn Frans Hoek ist Analytiker, Motivator,
Perfektionist – und der neue Torwarttrainer des FC Bayern.
It is clear he is an analyzer, motivater, perfectionist- and the new goalkeeper trainer of FC Bayern.
Im
Trainingslager in Trentino hat er gleich vier Torhüter vor sich, die er
mit vielen Übungen und Gesprächen zu Top-Keepern ausbilden will.
Louis van Gaal hat seinen alten Weggefährten vor ein paar Wochen nach
München geholt – und zwar aus einem einfach Grund: „Ich habe eine
gewisse Philosophie, wie ein Torwart zu spielen hat. Frans Hoek arbeitet
nach dieser Philosophie, deshalb wollte ich ihn für meine Mannschaft“,
sagt der General, der nach und nach seinen eigenen Trainerstab aufbaut.
In trainings camp in Trentino he has four goalkeepers, whom he hopes to further develop with drills and tactical talks. Louis Van Gaal hired his old partner a few weeks ago - for one reason: "I have a certain philosophy how a goalkeeper should play. Frans Hoek works in this philosophy and for this reason I wanted him for my team.

The vuvuzelas have gone quiet, the national flags have been put away,
and the cable sports networks are back to talking about baseball. But
the World Cup in South Africa has left its mark on soccer in the United
States, and, if pattern holds, it will help the sport continue to grow
in this country.

If the organisers of the 2012 London Olympics think they have a
tough task on their hands, they should spare a thought for the people of
Brazil.
In the space of two years, the world's fifth largest
country will play host to the next World Cup - in 2014 - and then its
former capital Rio de Janeiro will become the first city in mainland
South America to stage the Olympic Games, in 2016.

The status of the Brazilian national team -- and its value to its

The death of 4-4-2
It is a process that has been going
on for the better part of a decade, but this, surely, was the
tournament at which 4-4-2 drew its last breath, at least as an attacking
formation. As Johan Cruyff pointed out last week, the key to
maintaining possession is the creation of triangles, and 4-4-2 simply
doesn't lend itself to that. Or, to give theory more axiomatic form,
when attempting to maintain possession, a triangle will always beat a
line.

satisfaction, fine, but they ended up losing. They were playing
