fuck, finally the posting slowed down and I was able to catch up on the thread.
congrats Fred, glad arsenal went through!
I wish Liverpool was more english, but until they get the academy system sorted, it's not going to happen. The problem in england is that they simply don't train players the right way. the emphasis is much more on physique as opposed to technical skills and mental ability that the players that get the attention needed are those that develope sooner. They also insist on playing young children on full-size pitches with 11v11 sides, which in addition to giving a tremendous advantage to the quicker and stronger players, crucially decreases the number of touches a young player will get on the ball. Instead of being forced to play with the ball at their feet and think quickly, they simply hoof the ball around and use sheer athleticism to win. This of course means that young english players will not develope as well or as quickly, while french, italian, and spanish players play with smaller groups on smaller fields, giving them FAR more touches of the ball, which of course is what they should be doing. Among the many negative results, players who develope later but are more talented simply get left by the wayside for stronger, faster players who will never develope the technique or brain for top-level football. Fabregas and Messi could never have developed in England, and imagine if rooney had been developed in argentina, brasil, france, spain, or italy? then he might have turned in to all that he was hyped as becoming
