Banchiero Sports Enterprises LLC

Plainview, NY (February 18, 2010) – Globall Soccer Consulting has announced that the Long Island Rough Riders and Banchiero Sports Enterprises will be working together in a partnership with the National Association of Football Coaches of Argentina (ATFA).

ATFA is the official entity responsible under AFA (Argentine Football Association) for providing coaching education to coaches from youth to professional levels.  All coaches under ATFA are certified by AFA and FIFA. ATFA strives to disseminate the Argentine methodology of football throughout the world and educate those who will be the future teachers of football techniques and methodology.

ATFA has produced world-cup winning coaches such as Menotti, Bilardo, and Pekerman who have educated and produced some of the world’s greatest players from the Argentine youth system. Some of these players include Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Carlos Tevez (Man City), Juan Riquelme (Boca Juniors), Gonzalo Higuain (Real Madrid), Sergio Aguero (Atletico de Madrid), Javier Mascherano (Liverpool) and Esteban Cambiasso (Inter Milan).

Victorio Cocco, President of ATFA, and Jose Mercier, Director of Education, stated, “It gives us great pleasure to have reached this agreement with Globall Soccer Consulting which will give us the opportunity to produce a series of events in the US focusing on training coaches and young players utilizing the Argentine methodology  which is well-renowned in the world of football.”

The partnership will entail offering youth camps in the US taught by ATFA certified coaches. In addition, introductory coaching courses will be offered for coaches looking to enhance their current education with the Argentine methodology.

“We are very excited to have been able to establish this ground-breaking partnership with ATFA through BSE,” said Flavio Ferri Rough Riders Vice President and General Manager. “We see this as a great opportunity to educate coaches and young players with one of the best and proven soccer methodologies in the world today.”

The first coaching course will be the ATFA International Special Topics Diploma to be held in April 2010 and youth camps will be held in July and August of 2010.

The poor skills showed by the two biggest teams in Argentina on the court, who played the South American tournament, show undeniable evidence of bad times.

Of course, of the two, the worst is River, who plays nothing, has no aspirations  and whose coach is only questioned by the fans.

The team lost again and the fans insulted the players  in Sarandi. When everyone thought the coach would submit his resignation they learned that he will leave the decision to the leaders.  The team will return to train on Tuesday. The hours are counted at the millionaire club.

According to numbers on the fifth day of the Apertura tournament, River has 111 points with 81 games played, 15from  Racing who played the same amount of games, which is to play against Gimnasia de La Plata today if the season had ended.

River should score plenty of points to reach the Libertadores Cup next year but also to not be tempted to look at the table, especially in the wake of last season´s result, where they made just 41 points.

In fact,  out of the teams in the first leagues, only Independiente, Rosario Central and Argentinos Juniors made fewer points last year.

Boca has an advantage in general: Basile still has support from the people and the recovery is possible since he has a better team.

However, Boca is not doing well in the numbers due more to a whim rather than by disability, whereas the “millionaire” does not have  a good team to win and.

After the defeat to Godoy Cruz at the Bombonera, Coco met with Carlos Bianchi, manager of the club and Juan Roman Riquelme and offered to resign. No one officially confirmed it. In the week following the elimination of the Sudamericana Cup, the coach had said that “if we lose on Sunday we march.”

Alfio Basile thought that in the European tour he had found “95%” of the team,  the one with names with which he intends to work forever with. However, low yields and little confidence in some parts, Coco during the tournament got to modify the tactical system of 4-3-1-2 (for him, ideal) when he applied for 3-4-1-2 time in Tucuman, against Atletico.

What disappoints the most Basile is that the talks he held with the team, asking for more “engagement” had no effects. And also noticed how bad for the group internal differences are.

Low individual and collective responses in power, speed, lack of reaction and resistance force to review the planning that took place during the preseason in Europe. Carlos Dibos, trainer, said in a statement to Fox Sports before the game against Velez in Liniers: “I think we can afford the cost of the tour.”

“We worked two weeks in Tandil, but now we could not. If we are out of the Cup (Sudamericana) we are going to work much harder during the week, but if we stay, the players must take on the competition beat.”

Se quedarían sin entrenador en la misma semana, no pelean por la punta del campeonato y quedaron afuera de la Sudamericana. Panorama de un mal momento y de un futuro peor.

 Si Boca y River comparten su historia de grandeza y la dirimen cada fin de semana, ahora coinciden en una caída que hace demasiado ruido: no tienen nada por qué pelear.

La pobreza demostrada en las canchas en las que jugaron durante el presente Apertura y la Sudamericana evidencia un mal momento inocultable.

Claro que entre los dos, el peor de los casos es el de River, que no juega nada, no tiene plantel para aspirar a algo y su entrenador es más que cuestionado por los hinchas. Boca lleva una ventaja en líneas generales: Basile todavía tiene respaldo de la gente y la recuperación futbolística es posible debido a que tiene equipo.

Sin embargo, a Boca no lo acompañan los números por capricho más que por incapacidad, mientras que al “millonario” no se le dan las cosas porque en el fútbol hay que tener un buen equipo para ganar y, sin dar demasiadas vueltas, no lo tiene.

La paciencia de Basile se terminó, pero parece ser más una pelea contra él mismo que versus sus dirigidos.

En el fondo Basile sabe que tiene para seguir peleando pero internamente le embronca que las cosas no se den.

Los errores defensivos que se registraron en sus últimas presentaciones no se corrigen y en líneas generales Boca no es Boca.

Sobre siete partidos disputados, perdió tres, igualó otros tantos y sólo ganó uno. Quedar afuera de la Sudamericana y estar lejos de la Libertadores (11 puntos ahora) es un duro golpe para un equipo que se acostumbró a los títulos internacionales.

Lo de River, en cambio, es distinto: la caída se veía venir. River estaba caído antes de caerse. Los reclamos de Gorosito respecto de la llegada de jugadores no eran en vano y ahora, sin un equipo competitivo, quedó parado como el responsable. Mal parado, podría decirse.

Si hubiese tomado una decisión drástica en el momento justo, “Pipo” hoy no estaría pagando los platos rotos.

Basile, en cambio, cortó por lo sano y prefiere no estirar para evitar llegar a las puertas de la sala de terapia intensiva. Se va y punto. Gorosito, por el contrario, estira la agonía, se gana la bronca de la gente cuando, dando un paso al costado, aliviaría las tensiones que parecen tan moneda corriente en los últimos tiempos riverplatenses.
