For those of you that didn't watch the FCP vs SLB game you are not aware that the reason Benfica made that comeback was in part due to THE NOTE! Yes the NOTE. FS has been part of a pilot program that is developing better communication methods between players and coach. Now this is under development and has not been recomended to coaches yet. But FS saw himself in a very bad situation and with Chalana's help they drafted a NOTE that would help his team turn things around. Katsouranis read the note before he scored the first goal. Some of the players seen reading the note are, Petit, Nelson, Simao, Luisao, Assis and Nuno Gomes. Apparently the note self destructs in 10 minutes so Quim didn't get to read it and was unable to stop the last goal from a throw in. From sources close to SLB i found out the note was written in Portuguese and Greek, and Hilroy paper was used. To my surprise, i saw the Panathinaikos coach use this same method to help his team win his Uefa cup game 0-1. THE NOTE is no longer a secret and some of the world's best coaches are starting to use this method, when asked, Mourinho said: " The note i write, to win is important, to lose is bad." My question is, how long will it be until we see the NOTE be replaced by a Blackberry? That way better and more complex messages and graphs can be sent to the players in real time. You heard it here first!
Hey if the refs, are now talking to each other via those head pieces. Why not put it on players. In a few years we'll upgrade to surgically implant chips on their bodies, so a coaching staff via similar controls to XBox can control them.
Blue Chip technology at its best! I heard in Japan they are testing this already. But so far the coaches prefered the PS2 controllers over the Xbox ones.
I just hate to think where they are going to insert some of these devises Oh dam, now I have these imageses that I have to get out of my mind. Thanks guys.
how about glasses with a Heads Up Display? Have Endurance level, coach's chatroom, minimap, as well as temperature, score + time, and camera views from above. Better than invasive surgical implants. Also more plausible. Oh wait, you guys were joking.
I think you guys are on to something here. They can create the perfect players. Every shot on goal would be unstoppable, and every goalkeeper would be unbeatable.
Edgar davids has had that technology for years, but his is off centre by about a half yard, which is why his tackles are terrible
Oh yeah.....that life of yours does get in the way alot. No VCR either. Ask PIO where he got the TIVO.
It's superstition. I never record games. Not after World Cup 2002... Don't like it? Too bad, there's no reason you should care this much.
I was just making small talk...you know...how was the weekend? the weather is kinda crappy. You know, the crap you ask but you really don't care about the answer.....
If the NOTE was written to make players better it didn't work... Pastels de Nata?? where is that ugly kid you had in the dsplay?
I thought Not ChopSoccerDud was banned? I can see why you went over to TalkSoccer. That Dragao comment about your avatar is low even for the internets.
That's where i will be going forward.....i am glad you understand. I won't be at a forum that allows these types of people.
