Big club reputation tarnished by his spells in milan and Madrid maybe? But agree surprised he didn’t ever seem to be considered particularly when they have plumped for emery who has no pl experience. always comes across as a knowledgeable tactician and very decent chap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Quote Makes an interesting point about the use of data and information and keeping messages for players simple Interestingly, I read a footballers autobiography - could have been Craig Bellamy’s or maybe Carragher’s - which said Benitez was actually very poor at getting simple messages across. Apparently he used to spend inordinate amounts of time in training combing over minute details in a very technical way which used to switch players off. Eventually though the players started to listen and put what he was saying into practice - success followed. He compared it to Houllier which was an exciting side to play in, but felt like everything was built on sand with more disorganisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather listen to Robbo Harsh and not true in my opinion....Balague is a longstanding journalist who’s written for many newspapers throughout Spain and the UK, including The Times and The Observer and his column in The Metro discussing continental football, he’s written books on top coaches and players including Guardiola, Messi (his authorised biography), Ronaldo, Pochettino and Benitez, he got his football coaching licence in 2013, he’s a director of a non league club in this country, he’s produced renowned podcasts on our game and he’s working on a football documentary for tv.....I don’t think he could wing all that ‘because he’s spanish’....and ‘knows **** all’....

Rather listen to Robbo Bit like to poster on here who ranted how the Club had tried it on with Famaras spitting charge and got his ban increased to 6 games Without the basic understanding that six games is actually the mandatory ban ehhhhhhh Tip Ballaques podcasts are very good with some excellent guests - you may learn quite a bit if you listened to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
