Our players have already overcome
that old Premier League cliché of
‘adapting’.
Never underestimate the value of acclimatisation
to an individual player.
When a manager is choosing between a
player he will look at the extras a given
player brings to the table.
When we hear about a player taking
time to ‘adjust’ or ‘adapt’ to the Premier
League. What does that mean? Is football
so different from country to country?
Yes and no. There are pace differences
and playing standard differences
of course but usually ‘adjusting’ or
‘adapting’ is so much more and relates
to everything from cuisine to language
through the weather differences to culture
the media and on.
Our players have already been through
that learning curve during their time
with us so all they need to focus on is
the football.
The African, American and Asian boys
adjust to Europe, the European boys
adjust to the UK, the UK boys adjust to
different styles of football and we end
up with a player who has experiences
in their memory bank to call on.
Thats why acclimatisation is such a big
deal and often the competitvie advantage
when it comes to contract time!
