Another English International , Another disappointment ?
For the last decade the England national team has consistently failed to live up to expectations playing a brand of football that is not at all pleasing to the eye and very boring to anybody who loves the game.With a galaxy of stars
English Disarray
who excel week in-week out in the Premier League what happens when they put on the famous all-white jersey of England. Ferdinand, Terry , Cole, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney – these are world class footballers who have been playing together for a while now but still there is no understanding, no spark within the team. Some blame the coach , some the players and the rest blame the entire FA but until and unless the players know exactly what they want to do on the field the scene is never going to change.
Lets look at some of the teams – Spain, know their brand of football, keep possession. Brazil have their flair,leave the front 3 of Robinho, Kaka’ and Fabiano on their own to do whatever it is that they do best. The Netherlands have a wonderfully stable system with De jong and Van Bommel doing all the dirty work in mid-field, Argentina – give the ball to messi and enjoy the show (LOL!) and who can forget ze Germans who come to each and every major tournament with an effective and efficient system . Now lets ask the million dollar question what is England’s system? – NOTHING!, what is their major strength, people are clueless.
England is a country who are never going to lack talent or coaches, no matter who they bring in young or experienced players, who they play and how many more matches they play before Euro 2012 the answer to England’s problem is FIND THE SYSTEM.
AAMER ASLAM
