Who is good at playing mind games? The EPL managers? The players? Politicians?
The trash talking is really useful sometimes to get the point across. Some teams claim that they are the underdogs. Some teams praise the opponents before the game. Others simply talk about other things totally not related to the game. We use to do that in Singapore, especially the old Ultimate Website where players from other teams will gather and thrash talk before Singapore Open. Of course, all of them come to Singapore looking forward to beat a TEAM. Nowadays, this does not happen anymore. Maybe the website is not frequently visited by the players. Maybe there isn't a team for them to beat now. Maybe Ultimate is maturing in Asia.
It is very difficult to not get emotional during the game. Human are afterall emotional creatures. When the team is losing, what is the natural thing to do. Keep quiet. When the team is up, the team or supporters cheer louder. Does that happen in the EPL? Can we create a culture that the team cheers whatever the situation or circumstance? Can we train this? How?
How do we train a team and every individual players to play 100% at every point? Asians are so used to the mentality that we should always conserve in case anything happen. In case of this, in case of that. Come on. There is no in case, it is the present which is now...
