I find videos of managers giving team talks fascinating. This is one of Zidane. What I find interesting is that he's not at all dominant. I can't help wondering if he's dining out on being a legendary player. Back to back Champions League titles though so he's doing something right. 

 

You watch a Neil Warnock team-talk and you are left in doubt why he's a manager.

Good videos.

Warnock has always been a notorious nutcase over the years but his record is outstanding. Can't believe he's done it again with Cardiff. A proper old school manager.

Zidanes talk seemed very simplistic but it seemed quite motivational.

Watched "Open Goal" presented by Si Ferry.

McManus said in his interview that in big games players need to be calmed down rather than pumped up by managers. I've never really thought of that and it makes sense, great wee insight imo.

Interesting SM. Hadn't thought about that.

When I played football I zoned out at team-talks. I wasn't interested. I knew what I had to do. I either played well or I didn't. That was my view of things anyway.

I get that, I work with boys and some are similar to yourself and don't really focus during team talks. Each player is different.

For me it's a very fine line between being informative and engaging and just waffling. I like to give players as much info and instruction as possible. Whether they use it or not is entirely on them. I may not always be right either.

Its incredibly easy to see players zoning out and is quite frustrating. If they do the business then it doesn't really matter

Really interesting post mate. I'm a bit reclusive in terms of internal thought process but very vocal on the park. Never really thought about how normal or unusual that is.

The weird thing for me is I wasn't interested in the team as a kid. It was all about me. When me knee went and i started playing for fun I started being a team player. I think psychology is maybe an overlooked thing in football.

I've thought this for a long time, if a player can have a 'game of their life' then they're capable of playing like that more often, its about unlocking what holds them back the rest of the time.

I was a rugger bu**er more than a footballer and used to play with guys who'd be slapping themselves in the face and growling to psych themselves up prematch. I never could, I didn't really get my 'game on' until after I'd been hit in a tackle or someone had taken a swing in the scrum or whatever. We're all different and will need to handled differently.

To be fair, I doubt that the Warnock bollockings were weekly. I think he certainly took no shite but I just think that the video that always gets shared is maybe a bit misrepresentative. A couple of games to go in the season and you are playing a team who are kicking you off the park and things are falling apart, it seems like it was maybe a last resort.

I don't really think any manager could really scream their way to success.

8 (Eight) times Managing a team to promotion. No need to say anymore.
