Everybody needs to relax......
The kinda abuse I see men throwing at eachother is uncalled for after a harmless letter.
The author is disappointed that either he or some players that he knew didn't make the cut. He has the right to express that disappointment if he so feels. If he thinks the coach was biased- fine. That's the power of free speech, so let him talk. He is obviously not the only one who is of the said opinion.
The sad fact that every seems to have missed is that all coaches are biased. ALL !!........and the bias is not necessarily an evil thing. It is a human imperfection. One's ability in football will always be judged subjectively. If you go around the forum tonight and ask opinions on who is the best player in the world is, there will be different opinions. Even when men ask for opinions on who was the man of the match in the warrior games, we get different opinions.
A team is a unit whose performance is contingent on the strengths of the working relationships within the unit. A coach is more likely to pick players that he is familiar with. Players that he knows are easy to coach, that he has had a long running relationship with and he knows how they react under given circumstances. If you are a total unknown, to knock a player with a tight relationship with the coach off a team, you have to be head and shoulders better than him........
eg. If Ancellotti were to leave Milan, he might take Pirlo with him, not because he thinks Pirlo is the best middie in the world, but because they have such a long standing relationship and they enjoy working with eachother, and he knows him like a child......(that's just a hypothetical example, I know nothing about Pirlo and Carlo's relationship)......
Coaches sometimes even take assistants with them, not because they think their assistant is the best thing ever, but because of their relationship....
Yes it sucks when able players can't break into a squad that they are good enough to play in, but let's face facts and get real. That is life. Relationships, relationships, relationsihps...they make the world go around. Cry all you want because that is your right...but the sooner you grow up and realize the ways of the world, the better........
Everyone has to prove their worth....some more than others.......In a trial, those who need to prove themselves more than others, just have to bring it....simple as that.... because that's just how human beings operate not just Brian Williams and Anton Corneal.
