Paunovic: It would be wonderful to make history
Serbia coach Veljko Paunovic is one of the
fifa 18 coins
game’s more supportive coaches. Youthful himself, at just 37, he is
always there for his young players, giving them talks on tactics and
even chatting to them online about ideas and matches past and future.
As
soon as the whistle sounds at the start of a game, however, he takes a
discreet step backwards and gives his charges all the space they need to
express themselves. On occasion, he rises from his seat to give out an
instruction or two or issue a final few pointers to a substitute waiting
to come on. Before long, though, he turns and heads back to the dugout.
Such
an approach does not reflect a lack of interest. Anything but. As he
has shown throughout the FIFA U-20 World Cup New Zealand 2015, the
Serbia boss is always around, yet rarely in the spotlight.
“What I
try to do with the boys is give them moral values and the tools they
need to play good football,” he told “I want them to make their own
decisions on the pitch and to put everything they learn in training into
practice.”
Paunovic’s brief also covers his squad’s off-field
education: “Over these last three years I’ve tried to pass on everything
I know to them, not just about how to be good footballers but to be
good people too, so that they can make the most of their potential and
so they can see how the two things go hand in hand.”
As a leader and
coach, Paunovic is trying to achieve on the touchline what eluded him
during his playing days. “We’ve gained a lot of experience playing in
different countries and now we’re passing that on with the support of
the national
cheap fifa 18 coins
association,” said the former midfielder, who spent virtually his entire
career in Spain, playing for the likes of Atletico Madrid, Mallorca and
Getafe.
“A new generation of coaches and players are coming
through. This is a new era in Serbian football, which is resurgent.
We’ve shown here that we can contend again.” See more fifa news here by
