The mentality of the team has been talked about by Stale, and he has mentioned how in the Cardiff game we looked like we had accepted that we may lose the game and how we should never do this. We aren't there yet but we have gone a long way to creating this. Too much in the Premier League we set up in the hope that we may nick a point and it cost us in the end.
Most interestingly however, was an article I saw the other day on the Express and Star website. It was about the Sports Psychologist we had brought in, David Young. Stale had this to say.
“David Young has come in with us (the first team) after working with the club for a while.
“I’m always very suspicious about these kinds of people coming in and saying ‘this victory is down to me!’ or that we have to do something else because we lost a game.
“But this guy has really impressed me. I tested him for quite a few weeks to see if he’s really useful and he is very useful. He understands the game and he understands sport and athletes, so he will help us for a day or two a week."
Of course a psychologist isn't everything to do with it, but with Stale you can see he is leaving no stone unturned and wants everything to be right. His attention to detail is rather impressive.
And the Breivik case in Norway clearly shows that there are different kind of psychologists which reach different conclusions and prescribe different treatment LOL.
ReplyDeleteStale knows what he does, how to build a team, It has taken shorter time than anticipated and we now see the fruits of his actions which many voices where critical too. It's like if everyone wanted a manager which knows what he wants, but when he began to really clean up the squad and fire Connor people quickly began to raise critical remarks. Many where critical to the unknown Solbakken. Now they begin to realise what a bargain and resource he is to wolves. A modern, dynamic manager with a vision and will to act. I'm really looking forward to follow wolves further down the road. The level he reached with Copenhagen witness an enormous potential, and with wolves resources which is at least 10 times bigger resources than Copenhagen's one cannot imagine at this stage what this club in time will achieve. Exciting.
