People always think being a great player means you will become a great manager and it’s usually always not the case. Some of the greatest managers have been very average players. Ferguson, Mourinho, Wenger, Klopp. I guess you have Ancelotti and Pep who played at a high level.
Gerrard and Vieira will get another chance, I actually think sacking Vieira was harsh. Gerrard was doing badly at Villa so maybe deserved it.
Yeah, I still think Gerrard needs more experience. Would love him to steer the ship, but only because he seemed such a fit spiritually (I remember even when King Kenny didn't do well on his return he still brought back a lot of cheer and was, well, he was responsible for bringing in Suarez, Hendo... I'll pretend he never brought Carroll in haha).
Yes and this its because, the greatest players have the habilitie to communicate better his born idea to his foot, but that doesnt mean them have better ideas than a average player who maybe have better ideas but he cant communicate good between his brain and his foot (im talking about neuroplasticity).
So when they become managers the good player lost all his advantadge because now its only pure knowledge and ideas, no more skills.
And the average player always have to made more tactical or learn more about correct position etc, to tape the fault of skills. So when he retire he can bring all that to the new players.
I dont know if im clear in my explanation but, if you play football at some level you can understand me.
I couldn't agree more. But there is also another ingredient and that's mentality. Xavi and Arteta had loads, they brought belief back to the squad, while aligning that with the club's values.
. I actually bought a couple of the Sportsbet Watford shirts purely because they had the bitcoin logo on the sleeve which I thought was really cool.
