hihihihi, talking about Arsenal...where was it again that van Persie learned to play the way he does?Ajax sold him to Feijenorrd for being considered a "problem-child", fijenoord(bleh,blah) couldn't "handle" him either and Arsenal picked him up, having to play with genius players like Henry, he wasn't that special anymore and realised that, since then he only grew in his capabilities, But the followed the basic soccer school at Ajax. And what about Bergkamp? hihihi. Bu all joking aside, Arsenal is a great team, and really hope the go through beatig Villa-Real. About the training... Arsenal is playing kind of a 4-4-2 where the midfield needs to run alot back and forth, Balinese stamina is not that good, hahaha. And the concept of one center-mid (Fabregas) closing the gap bewteen the strikers, and the wing mid fielders staying at the sidelines, is a concept a little too complicated. The 4-3-3 system is somewhat easier for them to comprehend. I am not saying the Balinese are 'stupid', but me being Dutch and have played myself from the age of 5, somethings are just logical for me, and not so much for them, that's all. But they are really eager to learn and try their best, and who can ask anything more then that.Uniformed schools are pretty good, exactly for that reason that no-one can be an outcast because of what kind of clothes they wear. It took me about 3 weeks to get kicked out of such a school in Switzerland, hahaha. My mom tought it would be good for me, but I saw that different and tried anything to get back home. After I succeeded, she put me on the Barlaeus Gymnasium, 50 meters from the Leidseplein or 150 meters from the Melkweg, hahaha.I think those kids get what they want because of mam and dad both working, and somehow have the feeling that by giving their kids those kind of expensive toy's/clothes/ they "make up" for not being able spending quality time. Another reason could be, that the parents themself didn't have a 'wealthy" childhood and want to give their children that what they them self never had? All speculation on my part, since I don't have children, and too be completely honest I would be such an *ss, to give my children too what they want, but I would make them do tours around the house or something like that, so they learn that nothing is free in this world. If you want something-you have to do something for it. Friendly greetings as always.....Gilbert.ps: how is the planning or finding the time to go to Cyprus, or Bali?
