Hi everyone. This is my first time in this section of the forum so id just like to say hi.
Right. The reason i am writing is i am currently in my final year of university. I do a Graphic communications course and have recently been given my final major project, where we are able to write and construct our own briefs. Right enough of that.
Basically my idea is looking at the current style of english football. Are the players we are producing skilful enough. We all have the joy of watching Ronaldo play for Man utd every now and again on match of the day, and maybe watching the likes of Kaka, messi, Ronaldinho, Henry etc etc.
So the title of this thread is Futsal and the future. I am guessing that alot of people don't know much about futsal. I didnt until i started this project.
But basically Futsal is a fast paced, skill driven, intense version of the english "5 a side". Futsal is played in more or less every country that is producing these world beaters, but why don't we play it in england. Well if you checked out their website you would see why, it isn't exactly inspiring to young people.
All the other countires have had proffesional futsal leagues set up for years, englands league is finally being set up in March. Probably with limited funding and volunteers.
Futsal encourages you to take people on, beat players, show boat if you like. This is the side of the game that you cannot teach older players and we seem to teach kids the disaplinary side of football before the skill side. I do not agree with this!
This is what futsal encourages, beating players. using skill. and i would like some opinions as to whether people feel this is the sort of player england craves. A new gazza maybe?
and whether futsal is the future of how we are going to produce these wonderkids?
If needed check out youtube for some amazing futsal videos of 9 or 10 year old brazilian kids that would put the english national team to shame with there skills.
I would like to thank every person that writes an opinion on this thread, and i will be checking it regularly to start discussions if people have some intresting views.
Thanks again
