World Cup-2006, the 18th edition - Germany The biggest sports and cultural event

Blatter, on grading the 2006 FIFA World Cup

(on a scale of 1 to 10):

I would give the organization and ambiance 9, the standard of football 8. I would have liked to seen more attacking football in the knockout stages of the competition

Blatter, on penalty shoot-outs:

Football can be a drama, but also a tragedy, particularly when a match has to be decided by penalties. When it comes to this decision showdown, football in no longer a team sport, instead it is reduced to a duel between Goalkeeper and Penalty-Taker

Most significant aspects of Playing in Attack:

a. Switching from Defense to Attack has been done by the entire team, at the same time; b. Attack was built by playing with the entire team, passing the ball over the middle line, from where decision followed; c. Concluding/finishing the attack.

Most significant aspects used in Playing in Defense:

a. Switching from Attack to Defense with the entire team b. Building the Zone and marking man/man of all players in zone+ 1-2 players coming from the first line/forward and back to create numerical superiority and stop the opponents attack. c. Pressing MAN to MAN with the ENTIRE TEAM, to intercept, tackle and avoid the danger of receiving goals: - defense against DIRECT ATTACK (counterattack) using a temporary last man, on the direction of the ball while using the entire defensive system to aide and play the game situation; - defense against INDIRECT ATTACK (positional attack) using the agglomerated zone

Why are National Teams employing foreign coaches?

Preference for a neutral coach, coming to act professionally against local, regional, national conflicts without being capable to be controlled. Respect for a man coming with fresh ideas and without ties to national team past strategies of preparation, game or recovery. Professional courage to opt for a new vision of preparation and game. Statistics at the World Cup 2006: 16 national teams had foreign head coaches and teamwork. 18 national Teams had native national coaches and teamwork. Almost half of the national teams were coached by coaches from other countries.

JENS LEHMANN- GERMANY

Born in Essen, Germany in 1969, Jens Lehmanns soccer career kicked off in 1989 with FC Schalke where he played for almost 10 years before moving on to AC Milan in 1998. Said to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Lehmann created a name for himself while with Schalke. However, after signing up with Milan, his performance took a dip and he was dropped from the squad after just five matches. He made a decision to move back to Germany and signed up with Borussia Dortmund where he went on to win the German League title in 2002. Lehmann then went on to sign up with the Gunners in July 2003 and was seen as Arsene Wengers answer to replace the ageing David Seaman. During his first season with Arsenal, Lehmann played in every match and the Gunners went on to clinch the FA Premier League title without dropping a match. Lehmann, who many say has also undergone stringent mental training to reach his potential often comes out of his goal to intercept passes. He was man of the match during his clubs performance against Manchester United in the 2005 FA Cup Final after he made numerous brilliant saves to keep the score at 0-0 after extra time. Lehmann then went on to save a fierce shot from Paul Scholes during the penalty shoot-out, handing a 54 victory to Arsenal. However, one doubt remained on the mind of fans as they pondered his temperament following several incidents during the games. The German goalkeeper first donned his gloves for the national team in February 1998 in a match against Oman and to date has earned more than 25 caps for his country. He has however been in a constant tussle for a place between the posts with Oliver Kahn, from Bayern Munich. As many will be comparing him with Kahn, Lehmann will require a lot of mental strength to deal with the pressure. So, mental training should become an important part of any footballers training program today. However, luck was on his side and according to a recent statement from the German Football Federation, Lehmann has won the race to keep goal for his country. The issue of who would don the Number 1 jersey has dominated the German football scene and the pressure was intense on national coach Jurgen Klinsmann to make a decision.

Fabien Barthez- France

Mental Training for Goalkeepers Famous for his bald head, the son of a famous rugby player, 34-year-old Fabien Barthez is technically an excellent soccer player who could possibly have also made a career in an outfield position. Considered the top goalkeeper in France, he lost his place to Lyon's Gregory Coupet after being banned for eight months (April-October 2005) for spitting at a referee. It was reported in the French media that Domenech and his goalkeeper coach Bruno Martini chose Barthez over the 33-year-old Coupet because of his bigger experience at major events and his standing in the national team. There is no doubt that Barthez can either be brilliant or sometimes a liability. When France won the World Cup in 1998, he only conceded two goals in seven games, but he has also made blunders, some of which were at club level for Manchester United. Subsequent to the World Cup 1998, Barthez became a huge celebrity, almost a French equal of David Beckham. Barthez started his career in professional football at Toulouse FC, joining Olympique Marseille in 1992 and winning the 1993 European Cup. He joined AS Monaco in 1995, winning the French League Championship and again in 2000. Well known for his cavalier charges out of goal, he went on to join United for 7.8million in May 2000, a British record for a goalkeeper, and won two Premiership titles at Old Trafford before returning to Marseille in August 2002 on loan. He quickly became a first choice during an exciting UEFA Cup run, securing a permanent move to his old club when he became a free agent in the summer of 2004. 'I just concentrate on myself. Since 1992, I've been playing for teams who enter a league season to win the title. I've had to question myself for almost the past 15 years, said Barthez. 'I don't think of the World Cup. I know everything goes fast, I know everything can change within 48 hours.' the former Manchester United goalkeeper said. Barthez is France's unquestioned starter in goal and, along with Zinedine Zidane, and one of the most consistent pieces of the French team. In order for the French team to make a strong impact in this World Cup, they will have to concentrate not only on physical training but also mental training, as it is so important for players not to crack under pressure. But the practical development demonstrated that the mental training is the most important aspect of French national team to Berthez (to be able to catch a penalty) and to his fellow players like Zidan and Trezeguet.

1. COACH: MARCELLO LIPPI The right coach, for the right team, at the right time 2. TEAM Exceptional fighters Best defense Everything for the win 3. GOALKEEPER: BUFFON The goalkeeping model from all points of view.

Marcello Lippi- Italian National Coach

Buffon Italys Goalkeeper

HAVING ONE OF THE BEST NATIONAL DEFENSIVE TEAM, BUFFON HAS BEEN DECLARED THE NO. 1 GOALKEEPER OF THE WORLD CUP-2006.

GIANLUGGI BUFFON - ITALY

Born in Jan 28, 1978, Gianluggi Buffon is Italys number 1 goalkeeper and considered by many to be among the current top five soccer goalkeepers in the world. Gianluggi, better known as Gigi, has the distinction of being the most expensive goalkeeper in soccer history. He was transferred from Parma to Juventus for a record fee of 33 million, which is the highest amount paid ever for a goalkeeper. This further adds to the notion that he is among the best goalkeepers in the world today. In 2003, Buffon was recognized as the Best Goalkeeper in Europe by UEFA at the European Football Awards. He helped Juventus to become the Italian League champions three out of four seasons since he joined them. Buffons debut was in 1995. He joined Parma at the age of 17 and worked his way up the ladder. Although Buffon is an accomplished goalkeeper, he was actually a midfielder in his earlier teens. His switch of position from midfield to goalkeeper has proven to be the right one. His growth into a respected goalkeeper has been phenomenal. He proved his mettle along the way and was a reserved goalkeeper in the 1998 world cup. Buffon became the undisputed number 1 goalkeeper for Italy in the 2002 world cup and the 2006 one, respectively!
