Hablar es BARATO!!
Como vengo diciendo, blah, blah, todos tenemos ideas, se dice, que los uruguayos somos alrededor de 3 millones de habitantes, pero, cuando llega la hora de OPINAR, somos 3 millones de opinadores, QUE SABEMOS LO QUE ESTAMOS DICIENDO!!!, y, cuando se habla de fútbol, ni que hablar.
Por eso, trate "de poner mi bolsillo donde mi boca opina" (algo así es una tradución del Ingles), no me salio, por ciertas circunstancias, pero,TRATE!!, al "llegar la ultima hora, que me quiten lo bailado!", como dice el TANGO. Porque, Tango, Candombe, VINO, MURGA, Critica, va todo junto, en la misma frase con FÚTBOL!
TRATE de hacer jugar al FÚTBOL, no al pelotazo, con los "COSOS" dentro de la cancha sin hechar para atrás, (los jugadores no van para atrás, es el que los hace jugar así) ni pelotas para atrás!, sacar esa "Linea de cuatros (4) que es lo que esta matando al fútbol, y menos cuando tenemos que jugar a nuestros vecinos, Brasil o Argentina, si los esperamos (le entregamos, la cancha)), nos "pintan" la cara. - Ver ultimo partido contra Brasil sub 20-. No se me dio, sigo como un gallina hablando, pero, en cualquier momento tengo la esperanza, algún dueño de algún Club o Presidente (Manager en otros lugares), le guste lo que digo, o, quiera hacer sociedad con algún Club Uruguayo, otra vez estaré TRATANDO, digo tratando, porque en esos dos meses, pude comprovar, que nuestro jugador, se ha acostumbrado a "PEGARLE DE PUNTA Y PA'RRIBA" lo que vengo criticando por an'os, son mansos, hacen lo que DT les dice, han cambiado los nombres de las posiciones, estoy acostumbrado a que el DT diga, "vos jugas de 7, y vos de 8," y en la cancha el jugador SABIA lo que tenia que hacer, no precisaba que le dijeran nada, si el contrario era bueno, SEGURO que se tenia que defender, no ya de entrada, todos ATRAS, asi jueguen con el que va ultimo, -ver Uruguay Peru= VERGUENZA!! Lo mas lindo que JUGADORES HAY!!

HABLEMOS DE FUTBOL!
Bienvenidos!!
Gracias a un gran amigo Americano (ACE TOSCANO), que fue una de las primeras personas con que empecé a hablar ( o destrozar) el idioma Ingles!!. Como mi pasión siempre fue el fútbol, junto con amigos, copas, y el sexo opuesto! Hoy, ya con algunos "abriles" de mas, de lo único que puedo hablar, es de fútbol, Amigos tengo muchos, o, mejor dicho tenía, pero, HABLEMOS DE FÚTBOL!,
Por si alguien sigue mis post,( http://futbol-my-way.blogspot.com/ ) desde ahora, tratare' de comunicarme en mi original lengua!, Lo que he tratado desde años, ES explicar mi punto de vista, no digo discutir, porque trato de no discutir, trae malos "momentos", y la manera que están jugando al fútbol, creía que era solamente aquí y en Europa, pero, hoy en día con tanta comunicaciones, he podido comprobar que TAMBIÉN en mi querido Uruguay, están jugando igual!!

Welcome _Again!
First I have to THANK my buddy ACE!! Again and again, because without his knowledge and patience I could not do this!
Because I didn't have many responses on the couple years this blog is running, I thought people didn't care, and the truth is I lose my enthusiasm. And now by POPULAR DEMAND!! (ACE) I'll star to write in my broken English, and in my natural language Spanish see if I can touch base! before I hung up my cleats!!!
According with the request and/or questions, would be the life of this blog!
I don't want to look critical, but, lets check the last MLS Final game.
Everything I was talking about it, in past posts, came to be the real truth!!
The "Revolving Door" Yes, coaches are fire for inept from one Club, and, another Club HIRE them!!!" Old Players" turned coaches- do not know better that toss the ball in the air (High as they can) and RUN for it!! "Players may get hurt" In this particular game also happen it! Two players got hurt! running for that loose ball! "The luckiest one will WIN" exactly, is what happen, both teams, during the season, were lousiest, do not tell me the best team won! No Sir, the LUCKIEST WON! The funniest thing is, the winning coach told me couple years ago, (by emails) the "I was insulting him, WHY, he would take my advise", I tried to explain him, then that is one of the beauty of this game, that you can criticise constructively, and believe or not he won the 2009 Cup! "Too many people in the box, and blind the goalie" Exactly what happens in one of the goals, guys running "in line" watching ONE attacker with the ball. That defenders should pay entrance , because they got the best seat in the Stadium!! The other goal, almost the same scene, but this time the "STAR ( I said "FIASCO") in front of the attacker, but, turned his body and jump like a butterfly, again, the goalie would not expected that move and did not see the ball!
Next Post I would like to say something about the slogan some WEB PAGES ARE RUNNING, they write the "BEAUTIFUL GAME" (They don't have idea what it means)

Campito - The Lessons Of Maracanazo
Uruguay has a long and illustrious history. They were world champion 4 times – two Olympic Championships before the world cup and two after. For a country of only 3 million, they produce more world class players than any other country.
Many fans wonder why Uruguay has not won a world championship in 58 years. Here, I intend to give you my two cents on that subject.
First, there’s the issue of the Campito (playground, sandlot). This has always been a haven for youngsters to develop their skills, but, as cities expand and vacant lots become scarcer, there has been less opportunity, except in rural areas, for this kind of development. I believe there can be no real progress until the Campito returns to its former importance as a training ground.
Another factor standing in the way of winning is the coaching. Coaching has become a restricted community. Ex-players who know the game frontward and backwards aren’t able to become coaches because they haven’t completed the required 3-year training program. Whatever the reasons for this complicated process, one thing is for sure – it keeps many talented coaches out of work and places many without the proper know-how on the field. You cannot underestimate the importance of this point - the coaching situation is a cancer on football in Uruguay.
Let’s get back to the Campito. Not only is it a place where physical skills are developed, but also mental and leadership skills. On the playgrounds leaders naturally emerge. Later, when they join organized teams, those with leadership qualities assert themselves and become team leaders. The best example of a team leader was legendary great Obdulio “El Negro Jefe” Varela, the black chief.
Let’s go back to the championship game of 1950. The Brazilian machine came out and scored a quick goal intending to bury the underdogs from Uruguay. It was the street-smart Jefe who slowed down play by placing the ball under his arm and initiating a prolonged discussion with the referees. This not only calmed down the 200,000 wild Brazilian fans, it took the momentum from the great Brazilian players.
Then, after a Brazilian defender fouled Alcides Ghiggia hard, Schubert Gambetta (Mono “The Monk” Gambetta) took the first opportunity to return the favor to the Brazilian defender and, while they were on the ground, he relayed the message that if he should foul Ghiggia again he would kill him, literally or figuratively. From then on the Brazilians were less willing to mix it up and, ultimately, this cost them the game. This stunning defeat of Brazil is referred to as the Maracanazo.
This is just one example of how attitudes and styles developed on the playground transfer to the big field. The chain of events immortalized at the Maracanazo, unfortunately, would not repeat themselves today. Rather than learn in the playground and on the streets, todays players come up through a succession of soccer camps where their first impulse is to run to the referee crying foul. They have no idea of how to work out problems on their own. Where are the Gambettas of today?
I was recently approached by a group in Uruguay who wanted me to explore several possibilities. For one, they would like to form an alliance with a professional team from anywhere in the world. This relationship would be like a farm team. I am eager to help them in this regard. They also asked me to give them the benefit of my coaching experience. Here, however, there seem to be several issues regarding coaching that I have to investigate when I travel to Uruguay this spring. I’ll let you know what I find out. Still, regardless of the situation in Uruguay, I would be willing to travel elsewhere and to organize, coach and co-sponsor a farm team anywhere else in the world.
