Subject: [LU] Let them take risks AND make mistakes, Beatitudes of Bielsa
under the impression some listers don't already read some of Bielsa's
wonderful words.
Today I loved:
a) Acknowledging the drop in form but vehement support for a lad who's been
a stalwart for us:
For me Bill Ayling is a great player. He is a complete player. When I say
complete I mean that he can manage all aspects of the game.
He can defend as a full-back, as he can defend as a centre-back. He has an
aerial game that is not very common for players who play as full-backs. And
if we divide the pitch in three segments, taking into account the right
hand side of the pitch, he defends well, he is very well in playing out, he
takes risks when we have to organise and when we have to use the ball and
the only thing that decreased a little bit is his offensive impact.
...The only thing I can tell about Bill Ayling, that he contribute a little
less in attack and usually he was getting a grade of more than seven
points, now it’s more than six points. [*apparently MB &co rate them all
out of 10 after each game]*
But for me he’s a very important player for the team. He is a player that
is an example for his team-mates, for the public, for the fans and in
football you have very few players that don’t have ups and downs...
Maybe I’m not objective. Because I have a very special respect for him, for
what he gives to the team. Because he always assumes and takes risks. And
because he’s influenced for this feature that I admire a lot him. Obviously
for me he’s better than what you think.
And then b) a beautiful football (and life) philosophy:
Nobody wants to concede the first goal.
If we only focused on the fact to prevent the opponent from scoring a goal,
we would be doing something in the way you *[the interviewers]* are
proposing.
If we share the energy between creating and defending the possibility for
the opponent to score a goal is higher. This is a scientific analysis, a
mathematical analysis. But from a football point of view if you dominate
the game you have more chances to score goals and more chances not to
concede goals.
…..
But you have actions of danger or situations that depend exclusively on the
team who is attacking and you have other actions that are made easier by
the team that is defending.
When you make it easier for the opponent to attack it’s when you make a
mistake. But the mistake is part of football. If there’s something that you
can’t ask to a football player, you can’t tell them ‘take risks but you are
not allowed to make a mistake.’ Because it's just nonsense.
The best ones take risks and don’t make mistakes. Those are very few. If
you tell a player takes risks but you're not allowed to make a mistake, the
player has only one solution - he wouldn't take a risk.
And if you don’t take risks in football games, the game becomes less
attractive.
And then the capacity of winning decreases. When you play your way you
always compare yourself to the opponent.
If the only comparison we make is which team is not making mistakes, when
two teams play with the goal of not making a mistake, the game is not
attractive.
Cheers
