Role Model  ロールモデル

There are many people to look up too for many different reasons, but this time I will stay football relevant.
すごい人はいっぱいいるけど今回はサッカーのロールモデル。

Now if you ask most people they will say Ronaldo or Messi. But personally the guy who is Football to me is Gennaro Gattuso. I'm sure he doesn't need introduction but his hard work and passion are what real footballers are made of. He is nacknamed Ringhio or in English Growl. He is known to have a temper and racks up a fair collection of yellow cards but in my opinion its just times his emotions and passion get to much and come out wrong. His spirit is inspiring and its a quality I admire the most.
多分今の子供達に聞いたらほとんどロナルドとメシーがでてくる。だけど俺が選ぶのはガットゥーゾです。彼は多分いっちゃってると思うけどすごい気持ちが強い。絶対負けない選手です。怒ってる時はpassionで、別に相手に怪我させるわけではなく、負けない気持ちでファールしてる。

Here are some sick Gattuso clips to give you a better idea.



Now while I'm talking about role models and such let me just say that Ronaldo is one of the worst role models in football. True he is one of the best players in the world not doubting that. But his constant tantrums and the fact he looks like he is going to cry are not qualities that are helping the development of football. Jumping around complaining at his own team mates, diving around looking for weak free kicks are not what football is about.  You now see 12yr olds thinking that they can throw their arms in the air and have a tantrum because they see this on tv. Its planting the wrong seed and its sending football down the wrong path. Do you see Messi cry or dive when he gets tackled or doesn't receive a pass. NO. So Ronaldo should cut it out too...

ちょっとここで言いたいけどロナルドはいいロールモデルじゃない。悪い選手ではないけど彼のシムレーションはありえない。世界が彼をみてサッカーはわがままなイメージを持つと思う。ボールをもらえない時とかフリーキックをもらえない時ガキみたいなかんしゃくをおこす。本当に今の子供達に悪いことを教えている。マジ止めてほしいな彼のような態度。

Here is Ronaldo, role model football player?



And on a side note i removed the coaching blog post because it seemed some people didn't understand the context. I think coaches are very important but what i was saying is that some questions about the top clubs don't get asked in the case of Mourinho and Wenger and Sir Alex and such. But as some people didn't understand the message so i have  removed it so people don't get confused.

最後で昨日のコーチのブログは消しました。勘違いされると困るので消しました。機会があったらまた書き直します。
