CSAPLÁR’S GLOSSARY: Czech players, when someone tells you that you don’t have an opponent, slap him!

“On Sunday, the national team ended, during which the national team played four matches in the League of Nations. I have read a lot of reviews from experts, coaches and players at these matches. They generally sounded very positive. In the last glossary, I stated that I was in the first two matches – with Switzerland and Spain in Eden. With the fact that the atmosphere around them was a pleasant experience for me. But I didn’t want to embark on a professional evaluation. This was followed by matches in Portugal and Spain. Now I’ll try a little expertise.

I’ll start by saying: If everyone really sees the last two matches in the League of Nations in such a positive way, I’m afraid there is no help in Czech football. On the pitch, I saw exactly the same difference that I saw in the home games, which turned out much better in terms of results.

What’s in it for me? Not only in football, but in human activities in general, there are two options: either you go to win or you don’t lose. If I take what happened on the field, I have to say that the Czech chassis, on which everything rides, is not the winner.

This means that we are going to speculate and calculate the matches. Sometimes it works out, as with Switzerland, when we score two random goals, win and say how good everything was. But in the final we lie something, we lie.

But beware, going to win at all is not about whether we are going to attack or defend. Pepa Guardiola’s teams are going to win the match, as are the teams of Diego Simeone and José Mourinho. Just each in a different way. We are one of the rarities in Europe because we do not lose matches. The key word in this context is CONSTRUCTIVITY.

Be careful not to confuse with creativity. Creative players are original, rare. Raising a creative player is incredibly difficult. Creativity can be individual and team. Pavel Horváth was a typical creative-team player. Not individual. In the past, Ladislav Vízek was wonderfully creative individually. But he was no longer creative as a team. I experienced one Czech football player who was creative in the team and individually – Sparta midfielder Jan Berger.

However, let’s leave creativity aside, it will be enough for our Czech needs if we are constructive. Even the current national team can learn. What exactly does it mean to be constructive? For example, when I take the balloon, not by foul, by slip, but by jumping over my opponent. And if I get the ball, I don’t pass it to the side or back, but to the nearest teammate perpendicularly forward. So I’m trying to build something. But in order to be constructive, players must compete to win the ball.

Teaching a team to be constructive is enough for a week. I guarantee you that I taught this to the next champion every new team. The important thing is that everyone enjoys this. But it has to go on the chassis: I WANT TO TRY, TO BE CONSTRUCTIVE. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense. So you can attack constructively (see Guardiola) and constructively defend (see Mourinho, Simeone). But it’s still based on the pattern of behavior WE’S WIN.

And how do you know a coach who can’t lose? Sure, everyone says they’re going to win. But the reality is different. Life has taught me that actions are essential, not words. Those who don’t lose are guaranteed to be the ones who tell players about eighty percent of their opponents during tactical preparation for the match. How good he is, and how to prevent him from being good less. He can’t print the manuscript for the team, because this is really a chore. In the first place human, personal, in the second professional. So the simplest is to describe the board, how good the opponent is and how to prevent him from doing so. This is a typical example of a coach-poser.

We certainly don’t need millions from the union, from the city, from the state, for everything I’ve described. You need courage, expertise, competence and education for that. But this does not only apply to coaches, but also to clubs and associations.

In conclusion, I want to say to all Czech players: when someone tells you that you do not have qualities on your opponent, that we have to adapt our game because of that, slap him. Because you have what it takes. “
