Asunto: [NT]anaconda

Hello & Shalom :) as you may know, elections will start tomorrow and I want to publish my speech...
I think most of you already know me a bit, I'm anaconda and my real name is Ionut (John in English). I play sokker for almost 4 years now and throughout this period I managed to reach the Romanian First League and coach three National Teams.
In my more recent sokker history I was promoted to the Romanian 2nd League after a difficult qualification match (link). And then directly to the 1st League following some nice matches (1, 2, 3). Here, I was one of the weakest teams, but I still managed to win some games (1). After that I sold all my old players and started fresh with young ones.
I started my NT coaching career in Misr (Egypt), in their first season. It was difficult as they were very weak. I tried to build the basic structure and increase the community size so they can have a better future. Their numbers rose from 10 to 80 users. After this great experience, I became the coach for Crna Gora (Montenegro), a slightly better team, but still a small country. I also worked to raise their user numbers as in Misr.
When U21 teams were implemented, I was the first coach for the Romanian U21-NT, the whole first 3 seasons. I did rather well qualifying to World Cup and reaching 1/8 finals, where we beat Germany, 4-1(here are some good matches – 1, 2, 3). In the quarter-finals, we played Spain and lost on penalties, which was simply bad luck :( We should have reached the finals, as the semi-final rival would have been the Czech Rep and we would have been favourites for this one.

Now as a candidate for the Israeli NT, I am certain we can do good things here.

You might have already noticed I started to do some work, raising the number of users from around 170 to almost 300 :) of course alongside Yuval12, but this is just the first step of keeping them here. However, increasing the community size is just a first step in the work we can do to improve Israel’s ranking and performance.
There is only one clear objective regarding the NT and that is to qualify to World Cup. You have a good team and this is surely an objective we can reach together!
Other than that, I'll do my best to make NT matches very interesting for all the Israeli community by providing information before every match and discussing options with everyone. Along the season there will be a lottery contest aswell, regarding the NT matches’ results and the winner will pick a player from his team to play for NT, in the last friendly of the season :)
There will also be much work behind the scenes which is usually not witnessed by the community, such as scouting and spying. For example - when I was at the World Cup with the Romanian U21-NT, I made it my business to know the skills of players from opposition teams.
I have a great amount of experience building different and creative tactics, suited to the level of the players and the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent. Together with advice from the entire community, I am certain we can achieve our goal of World Cup qualification.
I believe that only an increased level of activity by all users can lead to improvement of the NT and our discussions in the forum can help that. Involving all users and allowing people to get extra responsibility by being coach assistant or even just commentators will help the NT to do better.
If you have questions, you can ask them on this topic, I would gladly answer to all of them.
Let's pull all our strengths together if only so we can qualify the team to the World Cup... and we can do this!

Vote anaconda!

Good luck it must be passover effect, for some reason today is empty from users even though it's the playoff's day.

What do you feel is more important for defenders, secondaries or pace and def skills ?

Well, there is a reason to call pace and def 'main' skills :)
If we talk about an average club team, secondaries can be very low, if you don't have other choise, but here's national team level, and secondaries + form + height are very important too and, depending on circumstances, any of this skills can become decisive and all of them should be taken into account :)

That's not even close to be an answer !!!
Beside height and form what will you rather have a defender with double divine and good PM tech and passing, or double unearthly with outstanding and incredible secondaries ?

And yours is not even close to be a question!!!

You opened with a general question, received a reasonable (in my opinion) genral response, and then started to demand specific players skills.

What is this?
Quiz? investigation? interrogation?

I have some simple QUESTIONS for you Ohad

1. Do you know for fact that the current NT players have the specific skills as listed in your "question"?
2. Do you assume that this candidate has the current updated information regarding the entire selection of the current database of NT players and candidate players?
3. If you became the NT coach, and you found out that the players DO NOT comply to your specific requirement from above - would you still consider your "question" as relevant?

I would consider your post as a "question" only if your answers are YES to ALL 3 questions.
But then, if you answer YES (to one or more), I would inquire more about your personality.

I would preffer double divine with excellent secondaries :)
Divine def is very important at NT level, as there are many divine tech strikers, so if I had to choose, pace can be a little bit lower (magical-unearthly), and secondaries at least solid.

and to precisely answer to your question, I would choose the def for the position I need: double divine as a defender, double unearthly with incredible secondaries as a mid def :)

אוהד - אני כותב בעברית כדי לא להעליב את אנקונדה
הכי טוב תסתום. אתה מבייש את עצמך ועושה לת'רד של מועמד את ההתנהגות הגועלית והפלצפנית שנהוגה כאן כבר שנים בקהילה שלנו. מה גם שזו תרבות דיון מכוערת להחריד
אם אתה מעוניין לדעתו תשאל ואם אתה חולק עליו תעשה איתו ויכוח בפרטי. ת'רד הבחירות שלו זה לא המקום להוכיח אותו בצורה כל כך חלשה אם הוא לא מסכים לדעתך ובטח לא לקדם את הדעות הפרטיות שלך
אני מקוה שצורת הדיון שלך והטיעונים בדיני חוזים יותר משכנעים

אם כבר בעברית אז אני כמובן מסכים עם ההערה של ארז על צורת ה"שאלות" בדיוני הבחירות כאן

בדיוק השבוע יצא לי לראות את לינור אברג'יל בטלויזיה. לא יודע איזה תוכנית אבל כשדפדפתי וראיתי אותה - נתקעו לי האצבעות על השלט עד שהתוכנית נגמרה. היום היא עוד יותר יפה וסקסית מאשר כשזכתה במיס עולם

והיא סיפרה איך היא לא הסכימה לענות על השאלות הקונבנציונליות של מלכת היופי . כששאלו אותה בראיון מה היא הכי רוצה לעשות היא לא הסכימה לקשקש את החרטה של "להביא שלום עולמי" ואמרה פשוט שהכי היתה רוצה לבוא הביתה כי היא כבר יותר מדי זמן בחו"ל בגלל התחרות הזאת. היא מספרת שברגע שאמרה את זה הרגישה שמתייחסים אליה יותר בכבוד ויכול להיות שבגלל זה היא זכתה

כאן זה לא בדיוק "שאלת מלכת היופי" כי השאלה לא באמת תמימה מלכתחילה אלא ממולכדת. אין תשובה נכונה לשאלות האופייניות. מי שרוצה לענות "נכון" צריך לנחש מה לדעת השואל היא התשובה שהוא מחפש. בהרבה מקרים השאלה היא בעצם ייצוג של אג'נדה, ובדרך כלל אג'נדה שלאו דווקא מכוונת לטובת הנשאל
זאת אגב הסיבה למה כולם מעירים למועמד שמגיע לשרשור של מתחרה ונוזפים בו. הם בעצם מבינים

על כל אלה מתווספת תרבות הדיון שלנו כאן בישראל. פנייה כמו "עוד לא התחלת לענות לי" בכל מקום אחר נחשבת כהתקפה גסה וכוונה להעליב
אוהד ילמד עוד כמה דברים. כבר ראיתי עורכי דין מגעילים ואנטיפתים שבבית המשפט אומרים "חברי המלומד" שניה לפני שהם שופכים עליו את החרא של הלקוח שלהם לאט ובצורה מנומסת
אני מקווה ומאמין אוהד שעוד תדע להבדיל בין ענייני לחצוף

You got my vote

thank you, mate :)

Good luck mate,

thanks :)

if you have some questions, feel free to ask :)

First , good luck mate!
:-)

Some questions for now:

1) What do you consider as the strongest part in our NT when looking on matches and values/ratings? (i know you dont know most of our players skills) and where do you see our NT 5 seasons from now? what can we achive at max?

2) Will you prefer to play with players that train in Israel over players that train overseas? and will you prefer to use younger players with better potential over older players that maybe arent training or wont help us in the future?

3) In addition to the previous question , do you think at all at the future of our NT? or you think about winning at all costs?

4) And a question that is a must in my eyes and sorry if some here wont like it , will you still be here active if you wont be elected / after you finish your job? are you still active and helping in the countries you managed in the past , like Misr and Crna Gora?

5) Its not a question , just wanted to say that if you will be elected than you will get Israel NT at the best situation ever , for the first time ever we will be in the 2nd pot for the draw , and we have some great players now , so reaching the WC wont be a supprise in my eyes and from my experience , and taking this job will come with the pressure to reach the WC so you should be ready for it..

Good Luck !

תראו איזה יופי, קיבלתי תשובה.
לא מתאים לי לשאול שאלה ולקבל פוליטיקה, אם בכל מקרה מתכננים למרוח אותי אין שום סיבה לשאול, לא?
בהקשר של מה שרשמתם, כן אתם צודקים לרוב אנשים שואלים בשביל לדעת דברים ספציפיים, לפי דעתי זה זכותו של כל בוחר לשאול את הדברים הספציפיים שמעניינים אותו.
אני מעדיף כנות על פוליטיקה, אמנם בסופו של דבר קיבלתי תשובה שלא מצאה חן בעיני אבל אם הוא היה מתחמק גם הפעם אין מצב שהייתי בוחר בו.

לעניין השני, הסיבה שאני מגיב בחריפות היא בגלל שאתם כל כך עסוקים בלהוציא שטויות החוצה, הבעיה היא לא בהתבטאות שלי אלא, העובדה שאתם חושבים שזה נעשה כדי להזיק.
אני מאוד מעריך אותך ואת האיש משום מקום אבל יש מקומות שהשתיקה יפה להם, אל תצאו לההגנת אנקונדה בכל הזדמנות, מענה, חצי טענה או איפה שאין מקום

שיהיה ברור, ההתערבות שלכם לא תרמה דבר לאנקונדה, אם כבר להפך רק הרעה

I asked a question based on the knowledge I have. don't forget I trained defenders for the NT and I am a bit more active then most. I know most of the players on the field and if I had a reason to ask that's my business.

By the way I reject your assumption that I need to say yes to all of these question
the only question which is relevant is do I know the specific skills, which I do.
