Watch Otamendi lately, there is personal improvement of each player. This is something that is easily noticeable. Iheanacho recently talked about Guardiola making him study Messi and Lewandowski. He says and he works on what he notices in training.

Is that for team Chemistry?

The two and a half hours aerial drills, is it for team chemistry?

What of Messi who Guardiola changed his diet and sleeping plans? Is that for team chemistry?

Training is not just for team chemistry but also individual development.

AIG07:
@Sir. TheGoodJoe, I'm not taking anything away from pep. He is an amazing coach that has won so many laurels, 'brought out' d best out f players as a result of improving d general team play in a way that best suit some certain players...

As good as training could be it only contributes a share percentage to a footballer's dev.
Most coaches focus n lay emphasis on team chemistry(trying out various formations, patterns etc) than individual dev. during trainings.

In leu f dis, Individual player's improvement comes from d time de spend on d pitch during competitive matches.

You can't compare d intensity of a match to training where players are instructed on what to do, whom to, n how to handle balls n mostly done lightly wit cautions so as to avoid injuries.

The decline ppl c in rashford n martial(sevilla don de plan loan move for im sef) is as a result of lack of game time. And d first thing t takes away from a young player which nacho falls to is CONFIDENCE.

AIG07:
you still don't get.

Let a young messi keep changing his diet... as long as there is no xavi n Iniesta-he will remain like anyother footballer.

All this drills u keep mentioning are de practiced individually?

D aerial drills u keep mentioning are all done to aid understanding(chemistry) amidst the defenders. You don't teach 'a' footballer how to jump n nod. Awareness, positioning and many more around d 18-yard box are shown to players as a group(defenders, mid-fielders, attackers).

And do u think Ota would have improved by just training n sittin on d bench.

TheGoodJoe:

Game time is not an excellent criteria for development. We saw Iwobi drop in form despite having lots of game time. Ighalo dropped form despite lots of game time.

Development comes mostly from hard work in training. Spending hours on the training field horning your skills improves a player more than ninety minutes intensity.

Preparation is key.

Confidence will not improve the way a player controls the ball or passes it. It takes long drills.

AIG07:
your last statement sums t up.
Well, that's a total no for me.

Confidence goes a long way in a players performance. Look @ Falcao, Balo, etc all found their foot back not because de got better training pitch/time or trainner but simply because de got those confidence back-which is in two way(d one d coach has in u which is vital but lacking in d case of nacho-we all know that, n d one u have in urself some collect self-believe).

But t was dis same set of players who complained about his style after he left dem.

Note: as much as I like n love training-it's over-rated compared to d real deal. Or why are we complaining about Mikel's lack of game time since he is aving wonderful training period wit Conte? Or d reason y players go out on loan since de can always train n improve in their parent's club by just training?

I can't even believe I went this far to argue out my points wit u-u seem to c an infallible man in pep.

TheGoodJoe:


No matter how confident a player is, if he does not have quality and not trained hard to make him flourish with his talent, his confident will not help.

If a player works and trains hard, his confidence will be high because he is prepared.


CARRAGHER: Is it more than just trophies with him? By that I mean, has he elevated the way you play, the way you train to a level you didn’t expect? I have watched his training and the level of intensity is really noticeable. Has he educated you as a player?

LAHM: You’re always measured by the number of trophies but he developed a lot of players with the way he thinks about tactics, the way he analyses games and prepares teams for particular opponents. He really helps players develop and he even helped me improve at the age of 30. You’re right — with Pep it’s more than just about winning trophies.

TheGoodJoe:
The real deal is overrated. Not the training. I keep asking, how can people expect more improvement from a ninety minutes games over spending hours on the training pitch almost everyday. Beats my imagination.

The Real Deal is on the training pitch and not the match.

As for the Bayern Munich players complaining, it was like a boyfriend complaining about his pretty girlfriend who left him. A girl he can not get off his mind.

and no matter how hard u train n work without confidence you'll still not be at ur best.

CONFIDENCE IS PSYCHOLOGICAL!

Lahm made mention of 'Tactics' it's all about playing to each others strength.

As I've earlier said-d team comes before an individual player. football is a team sport. D more u understand each other d better u become as a team and individually. E.g look @ KDB's assist dat led to RS goal against arsenal... KDB made that long pass with a preconceived notion that someone is there*team chemistry* simple. N both players benefited 4rm t.

Even d greatest combos football world has seen in recent time are all due to hours of polish on d field of play. MSN, SSS, BBC etc

When someone reads for months and works hard for his exams. If he feels confident that he is ready for the exam, will you attribute that to just confidence?

Preparation is key to confidence. Not Psycholosis.

Peter Rufai: I was not Psychologically prepared for France '98 World Cup.

TheGoodJoe: PsyKolo What?

there u miss t again.

After rigorous study y do d same students go on to cheat(giraffing, copying n all those stuffs) during exam.

Confidence is not all about preparation... No matter how prepared u maybe if u step on d stage n d confidence is gone, man forget t. Ur hours of training n prep will just be a waste.

As familiar ppl u may b wit large crowds. D first thing u'll always do is to get ur self composed(confidence) before dispatching anything u wanna pass across...

Well, it's been fun conversing wit u Sir.

Sir Joseph1013 once said some in this line 'It seems u share a bed wit Pep Guardiola'-I can't really remember d way he put t.

oga, you are trying to convince a guy that does not believe that Pep ever goes to the toilet talk more of soiling his hands? big mistake, you no see as people just sitdon dey look una? anyways, it took MSN more than half a season before they got going, and they going not because of the coach's input but because of constant game time because Messi saw that Suarez performed better in and around the box whenever he got the chance to play a central position and that was how it happened. team chemistry does not even come with training and all that, it comes with constant game time simple
