It has been great football for the past 2 weeks and some more great stuff to come.
I learnt a lot about football this world cup. Things like Players need to run around 10 kms in a match with avg speed of around 20km/hr and lot of fouls go unnoticed by the referee as there is no technology used and hence two teams needs lot of luck if they are equally balanced.
Germany were able to beat England just through their sheer speed. The England mid-field and defence looked lousy... Brazil Portugal match during the group stage was very lousy as both teams were playing it safe and didn't want to show their weaknesses.
Too many star players is very dangerous for any team. Playing as a "team" is very important.
Few things that can help get a world-class football team:
1. Train the players from a very young age (8-10 yrs)
2. Stamina - Should be able to run 20 kms everyday with a speed of 20 kms/hr
3. There should be a few forwards who are very tall to take headers during corner kick.
4. Shorter people like Maradona & Messi are able to control the ball and are not easy to stop. They tackle better. Hence a set of short players.
5. Mid-field should be very strong and well-built and should be able to run all over the ground and never get tired.
5. Talent is most important. Players should be passionate about football.
Our government in India needs to sponsor 100 talented potential players at a very young age and take care of all their needs and I am pretty sure atleast 20 of these players will shine. All this needs 10 years of dedication and action!
