GAINING AN ADVANTAGE


Maradona? Don't like him because, well for obvious reasons, "Hand of God" and all that cheating thing. But football is all about gaining a minor advantage when you can. That's what often he did. If he had been found out when that goal went in against England, what would be the punishment? No goal and a booking? Was it worth the risk? Of course.

Here is the little man warming up for Napoli, something that is very important to footballers of any age.....how well do you match this when you prepare to gain an advantage over your opposition? Or to stand out in your own team, or to make your parents pleased? or to impress a scout who might be standing on your touch line?!!
Remember he sets some bad examples....laces undone, uses his left foot most of the time (but then if your good enough on one foot what the heck?! Is he linking with other players in his team-not for these few minutes...the others seem to be doing their own thing too. Is he playing to the crowd (and the music)?The attached script describes a lot.

Remember, it's a short life as a footballer!
