One more thing!
3. Coach young players at grass roots level with the emphasis on skill.
^ This is without doubt THE most important factor.
Look at Brazil. It's no coincidence, no lucky streak that the Brazilians have amassed 5 World Cup titles.
There's no magic trick, (although it might look like it) no coincidence that the Brazilians are the most successful, most entertaining and skilful players on earth.
It's a mind set...a philosophy.
They have an approach to football that is unique to them, but you don't have to be born in Brazil to put it into practice.
They have a philosophy and they stick to it. And it's been paying dividends for decades.
What's the point of employing a successful Italian manager and putting him in charge of a squad of English players, that as far as Capello is concerned, may as well be from a different planet.
He might be able to get the best out of them, but you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
You could employ every world cup winning Brazilian coach to do the England job and the result would still be the same. Coming home early with the also rans.
Teach the kids at grass roots level the Brazilian way and stick to it.
