Ozil vs Silva. Is this Germany vs Spain?

When Henry speaks, we listen. Do not always agree with Carragher, but i do this time. Do you think the differences between this two amazing players can also be the difference between this two great nations of today Football?

Is Spain all about mobility and being everywhere and involved in the game, and Germany, also with great positional offensive capacity, but more with this quarterback style of creating goal chances?

Ozil - Assist King

"He sees things that no one else can see"

"He is special"

Yes, he is, and yes, he can. But Ozil (and many others) are still Humans, like you and me. There is not any supernatural thing going on, no x-files, no magic, no nothing of that sort.

What makes the difference, and what makes Ozil special, is the understanding of the game. Its the intelligence he shows on every decision.

Knowing his teammates, knowing the opponent, and having so much experience, helps predicting what is going to happen next. He is able to predict what is going to happen and act accordingly to his predictions.

Its 3534535358723057897230985725 hours of not being trapped with rules that castrate this kind of options. Being free to pass to whoever he wants, to touch the ball as many times as he wants, to explore the game without being afraid to make mistakes.

Is making lots of mistakes, but being aware of them, and learning from them. I
ts trying again, but just a little bit different.. just to see if this time he can do it.

Its having the relationship with the ball so good, that he is able to interact with the game and turning into actions what he feels he should do at that moment. Its being able to put intentions into practice.

He does not even realize it, and may call it instinct .. but its avaluating the game and interacting with it based on that avaluation.

Game model - Step by step

From Klopp,

"Maybe we could have done better so far, but it is OK. We are not even halfway into the season. We have not had a long time together," Klopp said.

"I think we are giving the players as much information as we can. Every day, if I tell them all things I know, for sure it would be too much. It is all about timing. The right amount of information is very important.

"We don't want them going on to the pitch with their papers thinking, 'What is point three?' We are just looking for the next step.

It does not matter if you are teaching grown ups, or children. Coaching is always a challenge, you know so much things, you imagine your players playing in a high level and.. we tend to try to give them as much information as fast as possible. 

That is usually one of the mistakes a young coach has. He is so eager to teach, that he "throw" the entire information and hopes that they (players) can manage it. Then, what it happens is... coaches and players frustrated. Because from one side... they are now doing/learning everything you are teaching... and from the other side, they realize that they are not living up to your expectations.

Keep it simple, baby steps. 

Liverpool changed so much in just a few weeks, but at the same time... Klopp only changed the "big things" first. 

"the force is strong with this one", so you can expect that the complexity in Liverpool's game to get to higher levels in time, when the players show that they are ready for more. 

The process is something like: New information - process+experiment+make mistakes+experiment some more+start do do it right+experiment some more+start to consolidate+being able to perform correctly. And then they start to be ready for something more. 

This is one of the aspects Mourinho helped to change the football way of approaching training. Practice what you play. Start with major principles, and then go for sub-principles, sub-sub-principles. One thing at a time, because they cannot take it all at once.
