One of my favorite coaches has finally brought his team to the semi final of Europe 2008.
As in my predictions, this old man has used his surprisingly strategic to face against the Total Football jargon owner - Nederland, which actually he is also part of that strategic. He has very deep understanding on the rival's patterns, characters, even has been brought and dynamically changed by young potential coach Van Basten.
With enthusiasm players, not as famous as the rivals, Russian team gives the fantastic game. I noticed that the Spirit of each player is the most important aspects instead of well-known personalities in world football celebrities. And the combination of skill shared load this will become a solid team and success.
See on the opposites, when another favorite coach, as a good and progressive football team architect brings a very potential team Portugal until has been down by fully engineered team Germany. The team was playing in the best performance but I saw there was an “X” factor which caused the team not as solid as before. It might be the coach movement to Chelsea on this upcoming July.
The other sample of good team player spirits is when the Spain against Italy last night.
Keep fight my Russian and Guus Hiddink, keep spirit to challenge the Van Basten, and you are still one of my favorite coach Scolari.
Let see how the best Team Spirit we got from Spain vs Russian, against the fully engineered team - Germany in the Final euro 2008 (if Germany make it J)
And to my team and colleagues, the wise word is: "Team Spirit is the key to your success, even under the best coach you ever had, without the team spirit you will got an unsuccessfully game".
