The modern Diego Cocca digital clock (Buenos Aires, 52 years old) records a thousand figures and an immovable factor: the fast passage of time. He ICT TAC I am pressing both when explaining his project and developing it in the costumes of Colista Valladolid, who today receives the leader, Madrid (21.00, Movistar). “The coaches always have the time against,” he says.
Cocca speaks calm. He has expressed in Pucela the mantra that guides his costume management: “A stick and a hug.” Hug to show the pause denied by his predecessor, the hyperventive Paulo Pezzolano, and stick with the template, because in the defeat against Espanyol he barely made two changes. Since his arrival he has insisted on the need to air the costumes with new and low faces of those not involved within the “complicated market” in an entity with problems in the salary limit. With the president, Ronaldo, trying to make sales, and unassumable salaries of players who do not offer yield.
Soccer. Results. What the Pucela and not necessarily in that order. Cocca remembers that the first day of a coach with his pupils is to open his ears: “The most important thing is to understand the moment and situation of the players, we come to help the club and team individually and collectively to start work. I have a predisposition of listening a lot, a lot of containment and, above all, giving them tools on the court. ”
Each costumes requires different resources. “In Zorrilla, order and tranquility, a game plan and a long -game mentality are needed,” he clarifies. “Footballers know perfectly when a coach lies to them,” says Cocca. Cy your speech to reality, to regenerate encouragement in a template with more football expressed in five months: “70% is the head. Order gives you confidence and trust is grabbed from behind, but with that it is not enough, then you have to play. ” “The numbers do not lie and talk about the moment. The experience marks to identify the urgent and the important thing ”, Zanja.
The South American reiterates the psychological factor to refloat the colista after a victory and two liger losses since his arrival. The lack of time prevents him from working quietly. There is no preseason or the tactics can be urged, prepare movements and study the versatility of the players. You have to hurry with hardly any margin. The recipe presented by the Valladolid coach is as follows: “Predisposition and much optimism showing positive things, the things to improve giving tools on the court, that they see that they are evolving individually and collectively.” From the personal to the group, without looking at the atmosphere, heel in the Valladolid winter: chants against the directive, complaints to the missing Ronaldo and censorship to the sports management of the leaders. Cocca urges his men to focus on the ball and abstract from that explosive environment. He knows the league little, he admits, but explains: “As long as there are eleven against eleven, a field and a referee, football is the same.”
Ronaldo assures him “the maximum efforts” with signings. The interview was done on Tuesday, January 21. The next day, the Pucela He lost Juma Bah, snatched by Manchester City, which was made with a thriving center at a laugh price. Cocca, asked about possible casualties, was ambiguous: “Everything can happen, but we are working together to find the most competitive squad. We have faith in achieving the goal. ” Next challenge, Madrid.
