Rumour has it it took him fifteen attempts before he managed to make contact with the girl.
Made me laugh
But what i also know is that youbng football players need more guidance from clubs.
You're on the right lines there mate.
The problem lies in the fact that these player are with professional clubs at the age of about 14 or even younger, so they are already developing this attitude of being above everyone else.
Imagine aged 14, being told how great you are and such... why would you care about learning anything in school?
Education, morals, manners, respects... why would these kids care about any of that when they know they're gonna be a millionaire...?
For me, an academy shouldn't just be a footballing education, it should be a case of developing character as much as ability.
It would help them to be better players on the pitch as well.
British players are so far behind their European counterparts in terms of technical ability and mental strength., because of this.
I have known personally a couple of pro players, one at West Ham, not naming names.
All through growing up, it was abundantly clear that these lads were gonna make it pro - so they stopped trying elsewhere.
When I say they are absolutely thick as arseholes, you wouldn't know the half of it.
I see them playing football and it's so clear that they have not developed a brain to utilise on the pitch.
Luckily, these 2 players are quite grounded and one of them is a an extremely good pro.
Unfortunately, there's cases where certain people have never developed a social conscious to what they can and cannot get away with. Others know full well and just take liberties.
Others are beyond help.
The best coaches at clubs aren't always the ones that develop the best players, but those that develop the best people. Role models. Those that go on to coach the future players etc...
