Maturana names 20-man squad for Digicel Championships.

[palos]

3 - Maturana by contrast may come across as somewhat of a country bookie.  Not necessarily worldly in the terms of English speaking interaction, but in a sense, I believe it works to our advantage that we have Maturana as coach when 4 of the 5 teams we will face in the Hex are Spanish speaking countries.  He knows them all well.  He knows their language, he knows their coaches and their tactics.  Don Leo again is different because he was fluent in several languages....spanish among them.

eh?!

what does knowing the spanish language have to do with knowing their coaches and their tactics?

The man was coaching in South America. You and I probably know more about the likes of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras prior to the man coming here. Or are you suggesting that all latin countries on this continent play the same brand?

yuh loss meh with dat one.

Maturana coached mainly in South America but he knows the teams and coaches in Central America very well.  He's more familiar with those teams than say Jamaica or Canada for example.  His natural spanish speaking is a positive point for us because he knows the culture and more importantly the footballing culture which can prove to be an asset in preparation.

Palos ah read that wha yuh type there and yuh sound like ah insurance salesman trying to sell ah bargain.

Again... How do you know that Maturana knows the teams and coaches in Central America very well?  Also, what does the fact that he speaks Spanish have to do with an appreciation for the culture in Central America?  Why do you assume that the culture/footballing culture in Central America is synonymous with South America?

I know because I have spoke with people who know him very well, know his background, and some coach in the international arena themselves.  I respect their views and opinions on the game and have no reason to doubt them.

If you want further information about Coach Maturana, I suggest you check out Wikipedia.  It's an excellent resource.  Failing that, you can perhaps talk with the coach himself or continue to make your own judgements based on the knowledge you have at your disposal.

Why do you think it's better to go with 4-5-1 instead of 4-4-2?

Because first and foremost we're in the results business.

Our defence is the weakest aspect of our game

We're not that powerful an offense where we can outscore our opponents consistently enough to overcome and make up for defensive mistakes

Therefore, in order to minimize our defensive frailties, we shore up the midfield to assist our defence trusting in the fact that we have enough firepower and experience to score and not lose the game.

How come nobody didn't question Leo when he was playing the same 5 man midfield and one striker ? ...I'll tell you why because he achieved results ...I doh know why peeps trying to outcoach Maturana from day 1 so ...like he eh getting results ?
Some folks go still criticise Maturana if we make it to South africa again but not one ah dem ever put a better  alternative.

No one questioned Leo because :-

1) The timing in which he came.


2) He showed almost immediately that he knew what he was about. Almost immediately you could have seen a better organized team on the field.

3) Like I said in my prior post, he got the team discipline enough to work the 3 players in the center of the park effectively.

but we look a deadlier team than with beenhakker, we playing a short passing brand of football that is working well, so until we see our results in the hex, everyone should take it and cool it

we playing a short passing brand of football that is working well

The people that go to the games say otherwise. Unless you mean short passes to the opponent.

Spalk interview with Maturana
i only get piece of the interview but is still something, video a little out of sync with audio

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/xp6s_EKUiMk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/xp6s_EKUiMk</a>

Did you do that with WMR11

What I want to know is how much de interpreter gehing paid?  Somebody please tell me who’s really running this team because Pacho looks like he ent know no English from that video. How them man and them go understand he when ting heated during game halftime, who doing all the heated screaming… not de interpreter.  I really starting to think is Anton running de show yes.

I never played for a non English speaking coach before, but I do think that it would be frustrating for both parties... trying to understand each other needing a mediator at all times.  How can he build a good relationship with the players if he speaks another language...baffles me.
