With the experience of participating in the MX League, Hans Westerhof shared the juveniles of Mexican football and signaled that they do not like to work
The Dutch Hans Westerhof alert about that in Mexican football is desperately much talented young man, because the player in this country does not like to work with the requirements that exist in Europe.
Assimilation, depositing part of the culprit in the techniques, which tend to have more specific aspects to work with the players, while in the tendering clubs that are more dependent on the girls and educators from their shortness of breath, to those who have problems. .
Hans Westerhof, who was part of the Pachuca Group, working closely with short storytellers, before moving to Chivas and Necaxa, signaled that when invited Jorge Vergara (qepd) to lead the Chivas, “for me there was a big difference between Europe and Mexico. no solos of players, (sino) of players, in the trainings. About everything in the Netherlands, the trainings are much more intense, with less breaks; It also has to adapt to the climate, but it has much more requirements ”.
“Recall that in Chivas work with the basics, steps of reception, and the judge decides what to do. Yo les decía: ‘Ok, cuando sus pases sean perfectos terminamos … Not we want’ more or less ‘, we want perfection, that there is a big difference’. In Europe it is more demanding, creo that the trainings are its most specific; the 70 per cent of the work in training his position and creo that also is important ”.
Expression: “It is not that in Europe it is better, but it is different. For example, there is much more possibility for you to roll over … Yo digo, como is possible when you want to press a portero and no sabes si es zurdo o derecho; the player has to work in it, he has to tell if the rival’s driver is right or wrong, and he corresponds to the training coach ”.
“In Mexico, many times the player makes no decisions, he does not lead, but this is the coach’s job … The ones that are needed, are the most exitable; did so much in Chivas as in Pachuca. Recorded in Chivas to ‘Maza’ Rodríguez and Carlos Salcido; no eran the most talented, but they will understand what the idea is, will work in these things. Marco Fabián and ‘Chicharito’ also. In Pachuca, Héctor Herrera was not very talented, but he was mean. Y ‘Guti’, ‘Chucky’ and Pizarro are people who like and understand each other are their responsibility as players ”.
Without hesitation to equip, affirm that the talented footballers in Mexico, he quarreled with the orilla because he did not like working as deben hacerlo: “For example, I asked the players of basic forces in Pachuca: ‘Who will play Europe? ? ‘… All! … ‘Who is studying English? ‘… After the! … You want a lot, but you have to do a lot too ”.
Asimismo, sostuvo: “I work for three years in Ajax, I work with young people; ellos no tienen problemas en su propia vida, son exigentes, saben qué es bueno para ellos y también para el club. Ajax, sold the year passed players in 121 million dollars, the only thing that is sold for the player, we also for the club ”.
LOS QUE NO TRABAJAN, NO VAN A EUROPA
–¿Usted create that the problem in Mexico is a geography issue, or is it a mental issue?
“Mentality, from the trainer; he has to be very demanding and work on specific things, and ask things for them too … For example, do you know Héctor Reynoso? He was a player of much less talent, but much more active. He has a lot of admiration, but he asks me: ‘What do you want to do to become a titular?’. And the day: ‘Hector, is difficult, amigo, because’ Maza ‘and Carlos Salcido play because of their speed. Tú eres muy buen muchacho, muy buen jugador, pero te falta velocidad ‘. And in any training, before training, he has to train speed, he does sprints. And there are no games in Europe, but many years ago in the First Division, thanks to his actions ”.
“And the ‘Bofo’, with much more talent, has much less activity. And so he never played at a high level and was not in Europe. This digo, therefore, is the responsibility of the trainer, in accordance with both the directive and the federation, because in Mexico the classification for being a trainer is not sufficient ”.
–¿Usted is engaged in the disciplines of players in Chivas? What is your opinion?
“It’s incredible, it’s incredible. Discipline is a matter of education; therefore it must work antes, in basic forces, to generate professionalism. You should know that your career lasts for 20 years, and you have 32 or 33 years. Is it difficult, but how can you find a new one? The best talents need more attention, but also the fur of the cane ”.
“One time we met with Ajax in China and one night, after the party smoked we had a place, where we had a player of 21 years: Danny, very good and good to rent … In Amsterdam it is not possible to develop or relax of this way, because here he was known, the pedian photos and his things, but in China (as was not known here) was easy for him to do everything he asked ”, advice.
– What did Chivas need to prove more to his young talent?
“For me it is difficult, because I am lying, but for me one of the important things in Chivas was to share his basic talents. There are many young people who have never been seen before, or have never seen an opportunity in Chivas, then the opportunities that are held in minor categories under 20 are missing, where many goals are scored, even if they are Chivas and go to the bank ”.
DE ROMARIO … HASTA PÉREZ TEUFFER
– What was attributed to Chivas’ health?
“It’s very simple: Chivas has a council, which is to agree with young people, not me. Pero ellos me quisieron impress alineaciones y esas cosas. Y yo dije: ‘Nee’ Yo dije, ‘el consejo no es mi patrón; Jorge (Vergara) is my patron ‘. I wish I had a judge, of whom he did not say his name, the sacrament, and he said ‘no’.
Westerhof admits that it is not easy for a technical director to have freedom of action and to follow Romario’s example, which he directed at PSV in 1992: “I agree that (ante is one of the undisciplined aunts of Brazil): ‘Romario fuera, no eres titular’. And the directives make me laugh: ‘Sí, pero él vale 10 millones de dolares y si hoy no juega, ¿sabes quién está fuera? You! ‘… Like Messi, when you say’ Messi to the bank ‘, the directive says that it is worth 200 million dollars,’ it is better that you go to the bank ‘.
– Where did Necaxa go?
“Oh, I’ll only want to use the first team, not one of them I want to use the basic forces. And no paycheck is part of the technical team. I paid for my technical body, but I also used to work in the basic forces. In some cases, the rent from the house of a coach, because the club does not pay. Por eso en noviembre (de 2007) dije: ‘Me voy’.
“I have no problems with my technical team, or with my players; I have problems with the directive and about everything with Pérez Teuffer. It is very difficult to work with him, but this time has passed ”.
WHAT IS NEEDED TO BE A COACH?
On another topic, Hans Westerhof insisted on the techniques in Mexico to prepare better: “In the majority of countries, such as England, Spain, the Netherlands, at least have to study for five or six years to obtain the license to train in First Division … In Mexico, of course, Paco Palencia works with different coaches; I went to Barcelona, I thought it was a good list to train and if not, because the work of a technician is very complicated. I have to do a lot of training and manage changing rooms with a lot of problems, and deal with directives, with pressure, to do things that are important to a technical director ”.
Quoted by Frank de Boer and Ronald Koeman, who have commented in a similar way, directing minorities and being auxiliaries, before triumphing as coaches: “The technicians tend to take a process, think a lot of space; it is not easy ”.
–¿ What did you think of Mexico?
“It’s my second country. I live in Pachuca; Normally, there are two times a year in Pachuca to help basic trainers to play with Paulo Pezzolano. There are many more friends in Guadalajara. What lasts in Europe, in the Netherlands, are Mexico, always in Norway and their countries. Because I live in Mexico in another way: good people, good country ”.
