Lessons Learnt
I have been awake since 345 in the morning, its 625 am now and I still can't sleep. As in my brains too busy, still buzzing from the thoroughly enjoyable match, so absorbing, and reflecting where man u and inter went wrong and what they did right. Besides that I am also thinking about Friday's cross country. It really is the beginning of the end, as I come into my last 12 weeks with the team. Almost.Man 5 seasons just fly by like nothing, but I guess through all the difficulties I have learnt many things among them:
1) The importance of admitting when your wrong, and apologising for it, even to your own players
2) The role of the management and how impt it is to cement a trustworthy and healthy relationship
3) How football is actually simple in essence
4) How football management is a much more complex issue
5) Marketing and its importance in drawing the crowd
6) How no two teams are the same and no two players are the same
7) The fact that players can achieve so much if you are willing to push them and dare to demand more from them
8) The lack of control you have on the other side of the touch line as a coach
9) How a players big-game mentality sometimes has no correlation to her skill
10) How important it is to have a good wingman, which in this case is Mr Lim Wei Quan, truly a class act
11) And perhaps, most important of all, how a person/team with heart will "beat" any team with talent any day
My two cents worth, hmmm i realli need to sleep soon.
Out.
