so latest trend is any opponents against chelsea...body shoving / slamming is not considered as foul
Young players need to pick up the skills of taking on physical challenge. Foul is undesirable; that can b handled by referee most of the time but not all time but the players cannot fall flat w physical challenges. They cannot fail on big stage n important games.
Also, they need to learn how to handle cheating by their opponents exceptionally well. Diving, rolling, fake injuries... these have cost many team their chances in big games.
This is where EXPERIENCE become very important. Our young players need more exposure n time. But they need to develop fast or they get sold
Key Stat: Chelsea are looking to extend the club’s unbeaten run in round three of the FA Cup to 22 seasons
QUOTE
Our FA Cup Third Round Match this weekend against Nottingham Forest will be delayed by one minute to encourage fans to think about their mental health.
QUOTE
A minute can mean a lot
Why the unusual FA Cup kick-off times, we hear you ask. The answer is that the FA has teamed up with mental health charities for the Take A Minute campaign to raise awareness of the need to look after our mental health.
It is often at this time of year we are reminded that our minds as well as our bodies need looking after. Stress or depression can be every bit as life-affecting as a broken bone or heart condition, and we all need a little extra help every now and then.
It is hoped a moment’s delay on Sunday can lead some supporters to a lifetime’s wellbeing, starting conversations that begin to remove the stigma still attached to mental ill-health.
Before kick-off a film will be shown inside stadiums, pointing spectators towards the broader Every Mind Matters campaign, and its strategies for self-help and healing.
