It is a concept in the world of football. This successful coach knows the world of football teams to get the right tone at the store and he knows the players on the tactical field. He is currently coach of Russia. That he was the team defeated the Netherlands in the last World Cup in Germany (2006), the Dutch did not to blame and that is very sporty.<br /><br />Guus Hiddink is itself began in 1967 as a footballer, who also scored remarkably often. He has played in various clubs. At the end of his football life a few years in the United States.<br /><br />A bright career?<br />In 1981 he started as an assistant coach to quickly learn to be head coach at PSV Eindhoven, a club in the south of the Netherlands (in 1985). Immediately, he was very successful: 3 times landskampioen, 3x and even the cup winner of the Eurocup in 1988! Since then his name was established and he goes abroad to train: Fenerbahçe in Turkey, Valencia in Spain. He was not very successful and regularly exchanged in those early years of club ...<br /><br />But in 1994 he became coach of the Netherlands and that is good. The team plays well and they come far during the European Championship in England in 1996 and 2 years later at the World Cup in France in 1998 even the semi-finals. He is working at Real Madrid, but not for long. Then at Real Betis Sevilla, but not for long. In 2000 Hiddink coach of South Korea towards the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. That makes a sensational good South Korean football team and in the whole world is now known as Hiddink success coach.<br /><br />He goes back for PSV works. And immediately successful: they are again several times landskampioen and cup winner.<br />Hiddink in 2006 at the same time coach of Australia for the World Cup in Germany and again he knows a team far: the 8th finals. That Australia had never been performed. He is asked as coach of Russia. And he is now. With much success. Russia is a unit fresh and surprisingly good plays. Hiddink has rejuvenated the team and they learn quickly ...<br /><br />In 2009, an icon of international football<br />In between - that just does Guus - he became champion in 2009 in England - with Chelsea, the team owner Abrahamovich-a Russian. It was not so well with the rich club. And when was that Hiddink as strong. The 2009 Champions League with Chelsea, he has not won. But scheelde not much, the game was a smell of foul play ... Hiddink was also very angry. But even he could not change.<br /><br />What is the secret of Guus?<br />There are success coaches and there are Romme boot from club to club move. The successful coaches almost always know the whole thing to their hands and the conditions for success in building. When you topvoetbal access between the ears of players. Each of those guys know very well what he can. But if he will show depends on many factors. Hiddink is able to get players sharp, even if they do not always be TOP. Not always on the tops of their skills. A strong human approach and highly successful team of the reasons he was dutte millionaires and he gets all neusjes of salmon in the right direction. Kudos! Because it means that his teams usually beautiful and inspired football brings. And that's it all about.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com112tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113841617482356637.post-31347162410874934862009-06-13T22:46:00.000-07:002009-06-13T22:50:43.809-07:00World Cup Soccer 2010, the home advantage of EcuadorIt is for many countries an impregnable fortress: Estadio Olimpico Atanhualpa in the capital of Ecuador. Not the huge crowd, not the witch kettle of Turkish stadiums, but the height is the biggest opponent of the visitors. The stadium is located at 2850 meters altitude. And that is harmful to the oxygen supply.<br /><br />Home Advantage<br />Home advantage is a concept in sport. Play your home, then you often perform better than the visitors. In football this is the "twelfth man" said. In some stadiums, it is a "witch boiler" by the impressive audience (eg in Turkey), but sometimes it is the huge crowd (more than 80,000 spectators) or the construction of the stadium (steep or near the field) that opponents impressive. Ecuador has a very special twelfth man. Sky. The rarefied air in the Estadio Olimpico Atahualpa makes it an often impregnable fortress to top.<br /><br />The effects of altitude and thin air<br />Height is by definition a natural enemy of man. The higher the man is, the more load, the body of the height. Above 2,000 meters (above sea level) will be noticeable. The oxygen supply of the body becomes disrupted. Also called "secondary processes" become unbalanced. This results in a lower coordination, headache and decreasing concentration. All factors that topvoetballer need to flourish. Ecuador plays good advantage at home duels always to work in this stadium. Conversely, the Ecuadorian has not bothered if they play at a lower level. They will even do better than in Quito, but the huge home advantage is gone. And that is between the ears ...<br /><br />Extinction also Ecuadorian<br />The decline, manifested in headaches, nausea by lack of oxygen, occurs when opponents of Ecuador quickly. By the time the opponent is exhausted, are still fresh and the Ecuadorian fit on the field. This fresh and fit is compared with the opponent. The Ecuadorian themselves suffering under the extreme altitude and thin air, but their decline is smaller. To "accustomed" to become accustomed to the rarefied air, an adversary weeks at an altitude above 2,500 meters to stay and train. But what this team has left for a qualifier?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com73tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113841617482356637.post-5588565399490826172009-06-07T20:42:00.000-07:002009-06-07T20:54:57.365-07:00Build your dream mountain bikeIf you are looking for accessories and high quality bicycle parts, then <strong>www.sagecycles.com</strong> is the answer, because they stock thousands of quality bicycle parts and they are the best dealers of bicycle accessories.

This drove the Catalans their third winning the most important trophy in club football after 1992 and 2006. For Man Utd on the other hand, continued the curse of the Defender continues. Like his 15 predecessors, the Premier League club last year's victory will not be repeated, and had to be after 25 unvanquished Champions League games the first time in a European Cup final to beat.<br /><br />Barcelona's stunning star ensemble, en route to the final to FC Bayern in the quarter and humiliated FC Chelsea in the semi-luck with niedergerungen had managed to triumph in the Eternal City as the first Spanish club triple from a national championship, cup and European Cup-winning crown .

Barca had too much space, and - somewhat surprisingly - even physical benefits.<br /><br />Man Utd showed too little, because the locks and injuries on the same three positions changed Barca defense to bring in a predicament. In addition Cristiano Ronaldo was up to the mid-term no whistle "Red Devil" on Final hotter temperature. Barcelona was by this time only to be ashamed, not strongly enough to the second gate to push.

Many of his team colleagues are surprised, however, that Giggs only in its 18th Professional season got the prize. Finally, no other player in the game in England so characterized, as the Welshman. With his elegance, he embodies exactly what the Englishman as "beautiful game" to understand.<br /><br />The combination of speed, strength and dribble the eye for the decisive pass made him the favorite of the trailers and the nightmare of every player's counter. Many compare Giggs with another Manchester legend George Best with the Northern Irish, there is a further commonality. At 16 decided to Giggs for the jersey of Wales, the homeland of his mother. Thus, he can never in world or European championships show. The more furor for his club since he was at 17 his first game for Manchester denied.<br /><br />For Giggs himself came the award for the best players just before his 800th Commitment to Manchester in the semifinals of the Champions League against Arsenal at the right time. "I'm always with age better. Some games I have perhaps more influenced when I was younger, but as constant as now I have never been. "That's coach Alex Ferguson as well. Giggs himself for all his achievements would be without the guiding hand of coach legend unimaginable. Because no one knows better than Ferguson, as he the best of his model students can bring out.<br /><br /><br />Previously whetted Giggs on the left wing back and forth "like a dog behind a piece of silver foil," as Ferguson once wrote. Now that Giggs is no longer quite so quickly, he or she shall Ferguson prefers him in the central middle. Especially in the important games Giggs is there with his experience and technical skills as a designer of the ingenious system of the team. "He gives the team control and security," said the Scot.<br /><br />The fact that the game Giggs of Manchester United can still dominate, he also has his very healthy way of life to thank. While other footballers in their spare time in front of the Playstation or looking for expensive cars spend, he agonizes on the yoga mat. Alcohol and greasy foods are absolutely taboo.
