Maturana clears air on his coaching philosophy.

Maturana clears air on his coaching philosophy.
T&T Guardian Reports.
[/size]

The T&T Football Federation (TTFF) and the national team coaching staff met with members and officials of the T&T Professional Football League (PFL) and its clubs on Wednesday, to simplify the national team’s access to local-based players for preparations for the semifinal round of the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Following Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Bermuda which secured this country’s passage to the next round, the TTFF called the meeting with the Pro League which was subsequently held at the Nelson Mandela Hall, Centre of Excellence.

Coaches present included Ron La Forest (Ma Pau), Michael McComie (Joe Public), Terry Fenwick, Angus Eve (Clico San Juan Jabloteh), Hutson Charles (Defence Force), Peter Granville (Tobago United), Brian Williams, Philbert Jones (United Petrotrin), Stuart Charles Fevrier (W Connection), Jerry Moe (Caledonia AIA) and Clint Marcelle (North East Stars).

Among the TTFF personnel were T&T head coach Francisco Maturana, assistant coach Anton Corneal, TTFF general secretary Richard Groden, Keith Look Loy, technical consultant and special advisor Jack Warner.

The main aim of the meeting was to reach an agreement with clubs, to ensure the release of players for training and international matches without complications.

Maturana and Corneal also discussed their feelings on the current state of the team and its plans for the future preparations as they look ahead to facing the United States, Cuba and Guatemala from August 20.

Both coaches were also called on to respond to matters raised by some of the club coaches present, regarding the non-selection of certain players.

Maturana clearly gave his reasons, citing that at no time did he overlook any player due to any off-the-field circumstances.

He was asked about the fact that young midfielder Khaleem Hyland was selected despite being unattached and the Colombian explained that the physical state of 19-year-old player who is on the verge of signing with an English club and had been in the national team since the beginning of the year. He explained that Hyland is different to that of a player in his late 20s or early 30s who had not secured a first team place at the club or international level for over a year. 

Maturana also cleared the air on the absence of English-born midfielder Chris Birchall, saying that he had in fact monitored the player’s state during the past season and is hopeful that the player among others do in fact begin playing and training regularly at a level that would make them an option for his selection process.

Caledonia coach Moe also got involved asking what were the sacrifices the PFL clubs were willing to make to ensure the country has a well prepared team.

Maturana added to the table that as coaches they all understood the value of selecting and standing by the selection of their respective squads.

In addressing why certain players are not being selected he indicated that those were issues that he as a coach will never discuss in the media because he always believes a player can be saved and in most instances he would give a player the benefit of a doubt.

“But they also need to start playing and training regularly. It’s the only way a player will be considered for selection. No player earns his pick on reputation from the past,” Maturana said. “Once the players are active then the door is never closed I assure you.”

Corneal also took note of Fevrier’s questions on the non-selection of players who were part of the 2007 Concacaf Gold Cup squad but he (Corneal) later said that Maturana had in fact observed these players prior beginning his duty as head coach and also worked with some of them during the early period of his tenure and therefore their absence from the team was due to technical reasons.

The TTFF and the coaching staff as well, has taken note of the interest from the local clubs shown in the use of overseas-based players and will be careful as to avoid some of the local-based national players at any time feeling that they are being looked over, even by its own league, with preference to players based outside of the country.

The TTFF and its coaching staff maintained its stance that it will not bow to any pressure over the national team selection process and players will only be justifiably selected or considered. But the governing body and its staff remain open to discussions.

“It is interesting to note that some of the same coaches (names withheld) who in the (recent) past had been calling for use of more local players instead of a dominant number of overseas ones have really in a sense changed their calls now,” Corneal stated.

On the issue of scouting for the right talent, Maturana, who has observed several Pro League matches here, added that the feeder for the senior team is the Pro League, the other zones and “unseen” spots are for the Pro League clubs to look at and they should be getting these players in their system.

At the end of the meeting, the majority stood in support of Maturana and his staff and seemed prepared to offer continuing support towards the preparation of the team towards qualifying for South Africa 2010.

The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation and its National Team Coaching Staff wishes to report on a meeting held with members and officials of the T&T Professional League and its clubs on Wednesday June 27, 2008 with an aim to simplifying the National Team’s access to local-based players for preparations for the semi-final round of the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Following Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Bermuda which secured this country’s passage to the next round, the TTFF called the meeting with the Pro League which was subsequently held at the Nelson Mandela Hall, Centre of Excellence at Wednesday midday.

Coaches present included Ron La Forest (Ma Pau), Michael McComie (Joe Public), Terry Fenwick, Angus Eve (Clico San Juan Jabloteh), Hutson Charles (Defence Force), Peter Granville (Tobago United), Brian Williams, Philbert Jones (United Petrotrin), Stuart Charles Fevrier (W Connection), Jerry Moe (Caledonia AIA) and Clint Marcelle (North East Stars).

Among the TTFF Personnel were T&T head coach Francisco Maturana, Assistant coach Anton Corneal, TTFF General Secretary Richard Groden, Keith Look Loy, technical consultant and Special Advisor Jack Warner

The main aim of the meeting was to reach an agreement with the clubs so as to ensure release of its players for training and international matches without a lack of cooperation.

National Team head coach Francisco Maturana and Assistant Coach Anton Corneal also discussed their feelings on the current state of the team and its plans for the future preparations as they look ahead to facing the United States, Cuba and  Guatemala from August 20,2008.

So they need to be training regularly yet when man offer to pay their own way to come and train with the team they get blank?
I would think that an unattached player or players in their offseason who can dedicate themselves full-time to national team training during the summer would be preferred over players who can only train with Maturana maybe once a week or 3 days before a WCQ because of club committments?

Maturana says Players picked on merit, not reputation

Maturana says players picked on merit, not reputation

Saturday, June 28th 2008
 
Source: Trinidad Express
[/color]
 
Columbia-born national senior football team head coach Francisco Maturana has indicated that players will be selected on merit and not on reputation.

The coach made his position known at a meeting between the national team coaching staff and members and officials of the T&T Pro League and their clubs yesterday.

The stated objective of the meeting was to simplify the national tam's access to locally-based players in preparation for the semi-final round of the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Maturana and assistant coach Anton Corneal also discussed their feelings on the current state of the team and their plans for future preparation as they look ahead to matches against the United States, Cuba and Guatemala from August 20, 2008.

Both Maturana and Corneal were also called on to respond to matters raised by some of the coaches regarding the non-selection of certain players.

Maturana clearly gave his reasons, saying that at no time did he overlook any player due to any off the field circumstances. He was asked about the fact that young midfielder Khaleem Hyland was selected despite being unattached and the Colombian explained that the physical state of the 19-year-old player, who is on the verge of signing with an English club, and who had been in the national team since the beginning of the year, is different to that of a player in his late 20s or early 30s who had not secured a first team place at the club or international level for over a year.

Maturana also cleared the air on the absence of English-born midfielder Chris Birchall, saying that he had in fact monitored the player's state during the past season and was hopeful the player among others will begin playing and training regularly at a level that would make them an option for his selection process.

Further, in addressing why certain players were not being selected, Maturana said those were issues that he as a coach will never discuss in the media because he always believes a player can be saved and in most instances he would give a player the benefit of a doubt.

"But they also need to start playing and training regularly. It's the only way a player will be considered for selection. No player earns his pick on reputation from the past," Maturana said. "Once the players are active, then the door is never closed I assure you."

Maturana is an ass and Anton is a bigger ass...

Birchall, Avery, Sancho and Kelvin Jack could walk into the current team. USA, Cuba and Guatemala will expose the current team defence.

When yuh really think about it. What gives any of the coaches the right to question Maturana? The man coach at every level and some big clubs as wel. The fact that he has been operating in a system (I use the word loosly) that basically has him handcuffed, should be plain for all to see. How come the coaches don't have the same sit down with the TTFF & Warner? Ask them why they are so disorganized and cannot present them with a fixed schedule? Why are players black listed? What is the status of these players? etc etc.

Yuh not reading the writing on the wall or what. If JW did not want this meeting to come off it never would have. Warner setting up the man to knock him down, when (if ) we reach the HEX.

I should think this man know what he doing...I behind him 100%...Get the Pro Leagueand TTFF involved...The only way we standard of football will raise regardless of South Africa is at the youth level and believe it or not the Pro League can play an important role in developing our players..That alliance have to be there...The Proleague cyah have one goal the National setup have another and TTFF have another...They have to think along the same line therefore I think that meeting is an indication that they at least try to get the ball rolling...T&T football need structure and if we are to capitalize on any talent we have we have build one sooner rather than later...Maturana take it upon himself to be the man using Local players and in form players rather than having a policy that overseas is a must...Simoes came and tried something similar....Look at it this way...anytime T&T have a youth team from under 13 something good does always come out of it..even if is one player...Most posters on this site only concerned with going to South Africa ...making the trip ...scraping through qualifiers.,...reach South Africa and get beat and go home in the first round and everybody good with that...Is a big lime, rel beers, women, hotel the works...and everyone fine with that.....Just like Germany...I not satisfied with that .....I might coime probably next 10-15 years but I want to see the day when we going to the World Cup and competing with other teams instead of making up numbers..Ther eis enough talent and poor structure based on school football played for 4 months in the year which usually means 2-3 months of trainng beforehand to get ready for it..A youth might play minor league or some mickey mouse football...with a bunch of poor coaches with no head no tactical brain and improper training methods to encourage good technique, zero nutrtion and strength regimes...We have been getting by on this crap for so long but now is time to try and excel...How much of us could come on the website and say we know someone who was a dam good footballer and they int reach nowhere...I think all of us could say that...Is time we use our talent and stop looking for short term victories....Go T&T !!!

I don't thimk Maturana taking anything upon himself, when it come to team selection.  JW make sure and pick a coach who will toe the line and talk the company talk and not be a rebel. no good for we football!!!

Its good that he working with the youth, but yuh cyah throw away present day footballers or have a right to be talent, skill and desire to be selected. He will go ahead with this team, get licks in the next round and ride out, and there goes all that talk bout structure and developing youth football out the window.
 How does that look to a youth coming up looking at the scene knowing that Birchall is good enough to be on the team but yet they not picking him, must make him wonder what really going on in the administration, and why would one bother to put up with such drama.

When these guys spewing these foolish reasons for non selection of players isnt somebody there to ask a followup question and say "But what about...."
