In 2011, Trappatoni took care of the national selection of the Irish team at the age of 72 and Heynckes led Bayern Munich. Wenger accomplished his 15th season at the head of Arsenal and Gourcuff continued to make Lorient a real team in Ligue 1. The men got older and their methods did also. But their personality and their vision of football came through the decades without losing their wrinkles. It's with this discovery that I bring to you <<A week with>> Daniel Jeandupeux, December 2011.

| CARLOS ALBERTO PARREIRA, THE MISSIONARYCarlo Alberto and his family live in Manhattan. Thirty minutes or so (depending on traffic) from the pitches of Keam College utilised by the MetroStars. The installations, situated 3 steps from the Goethals Bridge, (that doesn't invent itself), exhales moreso a smell of University campus rather than the odour of a professional training centre. They contrast with the majesty and comfort of the 'Giants Stadion'. On the opposing pitch two teams of 5 mixed students confront each other. Arriving at the main pitch of the complex, Parreira observes, in an exercise dominated by the technique of the girls, with his out of the ordinary credentials in a country based on success at all costs, it has started to implant itself in a breeding ground of soccer in New Jersey. The 'Professor' of 'Keam College' has programmed a pass of ten to two touches maximum of the ball, (ball conservation) which develops technique, an eye for the game and cold bloodedness. It makes it impossible for the traditional 'kick and rush'. In a country where strength and combativity, like in american football, with helments and padding. Parreira never betrays his brazilian origins, which were denied to him by the press of his country when they conquered the ultimate title. He preaches: << I favour technical football, skillful football. The football, god be my witness, is a game of technique and skill. Not simply a game of strength or speed. However, these days, the technique and skill are not enough to win a championship. You have to combine them with speed and strength due to the worry of competitiveness >> Extract from the book << A week with >> by Daniel Jeandupeux. |
