Overall, the tournament went OK, average results. Actually, exactly average. Look at the statistics:
1 Win, 1 Loss, 1 Tie, 5 goals for, 5 against - could results be more average? Everything is right on the money as far as averages go.
If we have an average season, will you be satisfied? Practices are a lot of effort to get average results. I believe we are underachieving if we have average results this season.
Why do you think we had average results?
I don't know the answer, but have an idea. How many of you have committed to 100% obedience to the rules? How many of you are truly pushing yourselves for your 20 minutes at home? I see great effort on the field and great efforts on the practice field, that's why the results confuse me a bit.
Great underdog teams like Butler basketball, Leicester City, Iceland and great power teams like Manchester City and Bayern Munich have one thing in common - they all commit to and keep the rules.
When Pep got to Manchester city he banned Wifi, pizza, all heavy foods, and gave the players a curfew! After they started wining he then, instead, gave them strict social media rules, but still kept food, fitness, and the sleeping rules.
You cannot control what others do, but you can control what you do.
What are the steps we need to take to transform our average team into champions?
I'll ask you at practice today.
