Bleep Putin
Wallahi Bleep Putin

lol
How about the British forming moral police? Don't they have a hand in this as well?
Didn't they know all these years but allowed RA to continue to own the club?


The great things RA did for this club will be talked about for decades to come.

When I told you guys early on that Boli was one of the major problems, y'all thought I was joking.

"Trust the process, trust the process". What process?

Man even had the balls to say we would win 3 - 0 against Real Madrid. That's an insult to every Chelsea supporter.

Why fans never turn on this guy I never know? Ok, I think some actually did.

Football no be like some american sports where you create unnecessary drama by taking interviews during half time, pausing a game for some more dramas and all that nonsense. Football is passion, it's intelligence, it's 99% mental.

This man is taking us to where we no know and unless someone within his crew place a check on him, it's gonna be a long long ride.

ATL on fire against Celtics at the moment.
They just dey delete their defence like say dem no dey dia.

A part of Pep is what Barcelona is what is still looking for and one way or the other, we have not moved on. Nonetheless, his legacy is still one that we continue to build on.

Legacy? Which one please? Is it the style of football or type of players?
If the club is looking for something, that means it is missing, so what foundation are we talking about here gangan?

In many areas and countries, junior players aged 9-13 typically have two to three training sessions per week. These sessions are usually focused on developing the fundamental skills of the game, such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and ball control. Coaches may also introduce tactical concepts and strategies, but the emphasis is generally on individual skill development.


Junior players may have one or two games per week, depending on the league or competition they are participating in. The size of the pitch and goal, as well as the number of players on each side, can vary depending on the age group and the league or competition. For example, in some areas, 7v7 games are common for players in the under-11 age group, while 9v9 games are more common for players in the under-13 age group.

It's generally preferred that junior players are trained by qualified licensed coaches. These coaches are often trained and certified by their country's football association, and have undergone specific training in coaching young players. They are equipped with the knowledge and skills to design training sessions that are age-appropriate, safe, and effective in developing the players' skills.

While it's important for junior players to develop the technical and tactical skills needed to play the game, it's also important to allow them to explore and develop their instincts. Good coaches will balance structured training sessions with opportunities for players to express themselves and make decisions on the field.

Junior players may be required to pay fees to participate in club or league activities. Some clubs may offer scholarships or subsidies to players who demonstrate financial need, but this varies depending on the club.

The pathway from junior to senior football can vary depending on the country and the level of competition. In general, junior players who demonstrate exceptional skill and potential may be scouted by professional clubs and offered a place in their youth academy. From there, they may progress to the senior team if they continue to develop their skills and perform well. However, the majority of junior players will likely continue to play at the amateur or semi-professional level as they get older.

Thanks chairman. I appreciate your response but I'm looking for specifics like in UK or Nigeria for instance they pay X amount, train X amount of times, Play for X minutes.. etc...Know what I mean?

My son currently trains indoors on Friday nights.

A couple of the kids there play for local teams as well, and train once or twice a week with their teams which are usually 7 aside

One girl here is in the academy for a League 1 team close by, and trains twice a week with them, twice a week with her football team, and every Friday with my son's group.

The training with the league 1 team is funded by the club, so as long as your child is scouted and brought in, you only have to pay for boots/shinpad and transport.

I pay £30 a month for my son's coaching. One to one coach around here sometimes goes up to £50 a session depending on the coach. The guy that takes my son's group session is only a sports science student, so he charges £15 per session (for 45 minutes)

This is all U-10 btw.

One of the kids that trains here at u-14 recently got signed by Man City for what I hear is around 200k. I think it was paid to the parents and some other shenanigans as they're not supposed pay transfer for kids.

I will take a picture at training later this evening to give you a sense of how it plays out here.

Brilliant stuff boss. Thanks for the specifics and would appreciate if you are able to share the pictures. This is part of what I am looking for.

Our "TD" here is adamant that kids u9 - u11 in the local academy should train 3 times per week (including public and school holidays) and then a game on weekends and it is not cheap. The parents foot the bill all the way for everything. We are talking thousands of dollars.
I've had parents come to me complaining that there kids no longer want to play football, drop out completely because the training sessions are either boring or repetitive and leaves no time for them to take part in other recreational activities.

A kid recently dropped out to focus on dancing and singing. I am not kidding.

I have watched some of the trainings and it seems they are turning them into robots, dulling their instincts.
E.g., They play from the back even when it is obvious they are struggling, imo their instincts should take over and try something different but nah, they keep doing the same thing over and over again.

My opinion is that kids of this age should train no more than twice per week plus a game and also develop their instinctive part of the game. The training sessions should be structured in such as way that they are able to play as a team and at the same time develop individually. A fun filled scenario where the kids want more.

What I am seeing at the moment is just some robotic display and I wanted to know how it is done is other countries, say, in Europe to make some comparisons. Thanks

Pep Guardiola

Does Barca or Bayern still play Pep football (whatever that is) and do you think they will be playing like this when he leaves City?

I really need you to explain the "foundation" that you are talking about. Coaches are employed for project/s and you are supposed to know this.

eph12:
I can name two. Potter and Lampard

You got jokes. Keep it up.

eph12:
He's someone you want to hire for a short term plan and glory. If you want to build a team, football and culture that will be there even when he's gone, he's not

oh wow. Tell me abourrit.

Name one manager in this category please.

BlaqFaze:
I wish say na Kepa...una for don cook am don

That was my point really but it wasn't Kepa, wo what will you guys do?

Elon Musk-a-teer!

So David De Gea with his "long arms/hands" couldn't deal with that header?

Make una give ETH 10 year contract like our guy Boli Boli.

eph12:
I didn't say its a new thing in football. I only said he has been sacked everywhere

And your point was?

raumdeuter:
If there was a competition like Europa confederate league they might have won too. Basically a paralympics for useless clubs

When was the last time Roma played in Europe?
And remember Barca, Manyoo were in this same competition but got knocked out.

eph12:
Why?

You said a manager got sacked everywhere like that is a new thing in football.

eph12:
Mourinho has been sacked everywhere. He's found his level at Roma, that's if he doesn't get sacked soon.

Ole was sacked, Ralf spent only 4 months or so here, and ETH just started. Why are you sounding like others had it better? Are we not blaming Ole for most of the players we currently have?

Name one of the current managers that has not been sacked somewhere before?

youngZee23:
I sure say both man u and barca wey dey don nack akpako for that thesame competition has fallen off too

I even forget sef, Barca was knocked out of this same competition.

fallen yen yen yen.

raumdeuter:
It shows the level those teams have fallen to be playing Yuropa

When was the last time Roma won in Europe?

obonujoker:
José Mourinho, 1 week ago: "Are we sure Roma are 3rd? Are we sure Juventus doesn't have 59 points? I mean, we are in Italy..."

Today, Juve's 15 point deduction has been nullified and they go back to 59 points, taking Roma's 3rd place.

Jose - The man who saw tomorrow

raumdeuter:
Which of these has he beaten

Are they not in the same competition?

raumdeuter:
Exactly those are 2nd rate trophies. Which is a reflection of Mourinho nowadays, A 2nd rate manager

The league he started same day with Napoli he is almost 20points behind

Is Juventus not playing in the same competition?

Unlimited22:
Even if Roma beat Madrid Bayern and PsG to the trophy he will say it is a second rate trophy

Trust him na. lol.

Manyoo scatter, scatter.... jaga jaga

raumdeuter:
Who are the teams he is playing Feyenoord, Mittylland Salzburg 3rd rate European teams

manyoo, sevilla, Juventus no dey the same competition?

eph12:
Looks like it's worse than I thought. We need better players from keeper to striker

Oh really. Did you guys keep the ball?

FirstbornWds:
On what context are you asking this? Football?

Sorry forgot to mentioned that, just assumed since this is a football thread.

Yes asking in relation to football.

All I want for now is for the SB faithfuls to chant RA's name during the next games.

That man gave us 19 solid years of entertainment and even when we doubted him, he came up with the goods in threefold.

RA basically redefined Chelsea to what we have known it to be now.

Mucho respecto for what he has done for this club, for Chelsea Football Club.

Ballzproblemm:
summer more youngsters will be signed,we never develop the ones wey we get here first 🥴

isn't that the Boli strategy?

Yes we do. Ijapka all the way.

Let's not forget that Pep also flopped with a UCL winning team while at Bayern so....

Question for the house. I am interested in the below

What are the training methodologies for juniors (age 9 - 13) in your area or country?
Specifically;
How many trainings per week?
How many games per week?
What's the size of the pitch/goal and how many players on each side - 7v7 , 9v9 etc...?
Are they trained by qualified licensed coaches?
Are they allowed to explore, develop their instincts or it's just robotic, repetitive training sessions?
Do they pay fees or is it subsidised by the bigger clubs?
What is the pathway from junior to senior?

Appreciate your inputs please.

Just copy and tag me. Thanks.

Boli thinks this is MLB, buying players left and right. Na so them dey do am?
