Footballers need to be excellent communicators both on the pitch - where players work together to deal with situations defensively and create opportunities offensively - and also in the changing room and on the team bus.
Abstract
TOWARDS THE END of this year's English football season, Southampton football manager Ronald Koeman announced that he had arranged for his players to have weekly lessons in communication and social interaction. The former Netherlands and Barcelona star claimed that modern players spend too much time on their iPhones and social media, wearing headphones. He believes this hinders their on-field communication and encourages players to think more about themselves and less about interacting with teammates. Footballers need to be excellent communicators both on the pitch - where players work together to deal with situations defensively and create opportunities offensively - and also in the changing room ≫ and on the team bus. One look at how Leicester City stunned the world by winning the Premier League this year and how Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League - both against wealthier and allegedly more talented opponents - shows the value of camaraderie and team spirit.
