Jounal!

Recently, lots of national soccer teams were very busy because of world cup qualifying match. However, lots of soccer clubs suffered from temporary transfer. So, many coaches of popular club which has lots of good players feel uncomfortable because their club’s strength is decreased. Therefore, this situation always leads to conflict between national team coaches and club team coach. In case of national team, coaches insist that national team has a right to pick the players. In case of club team, coaches assert that national teams have to allow us to pick our players because they are ours. I think that national teams have to respects club’s decision because they are paying money for them and they know well player’s condition than others.

First of all, football club team pays lots of money for players. They pay lots of money to player so as to make a good record in their league. The amount of money is really huge. For example, Real Madrid, a famous Spanish football club, made a contract with Christiano Ronaldo. He receives over 20 million per week. Let’s think about it. If he went to his country to play a national team game and he injured during the game, the club loses lots of money. Needless to say, the player wants to play for his country. However, he has to follow the club’s decision because the club has a right about the player during the contract. Also, the national team coaches and citizens should understand the player who is under this condition. Therefore, national team coaches have to follow club’s decision because they pay lots of money to players.

Second, football club team knows well player’s body condition than national team coach. Many famous football clubs have an excellent system to manage their players, so they have a lot of data for each player. Accordingly they can know easily their health condition based on lots of data such as team doctor’s body checking list and training coaches’ opinion. However, national team coaches don’t have any data of the player about current condition. Hence, their immoderate decision leads the player to injure. For example, Ji Sung Park, Korean, is in Manchester United, famous football club in English premier league. His condition was really bad, but the national team coaches wanted him because he is a key player in national team. At the end, he played for national team and was injured. Therefore, I think that national teams have to understand clubs’ decision for teams and players.

To sum up, national teams should agree with the club’s decision because clubs pay lots of money for the players and know well their condition. Even though players have a pride by playing for own country, both national team and club team have to think the player’s condition at first and respect their decision.
