“i ruined everything by saying it out loud.” // “this doesn’t look that much different from home.” // “dear forgiveness, you know that recently we have had our difficulties and there are many things i want to ask you.”

imagine coaching the best team in the world and having your players have to come together on their own because they felt that they weren't being set up to play THEIR game and succeed
imagine winning only 3 of 10 major tournament games and still saying 'i think we played the way we wanted to'
imagine having the deepest bench in the world and not using a single sub
imagine talking mad shit about how league performance is important and then not taking into account ACTUAL league performance
imagine giving players consistent minutes leading up to major tournaments and then giving them ZERO at the actual tournament
imagine having two of the best players in the world come to you regarding their mental health and punishing them for it
can you imagine that? because vlatko actually did that shit
