In the news:
apparently IFF has secured 2 test games against Oman and Egypt for TM.
but have they thought about when they shd conduct them?
in relation to other scheduling nightmares the face now, with clubs' seasons and hazfi games and ACL games and TM's camp ?
ok. 2 proposed games.
lets work backwards from the JUNE 2nd date and see when it'll be possible to fit these 2 games when they'll prove USEFUL to TM. not like those useless test games under EZ when they just gathered a bunch of players with a couple of day's training and said lets play ball !!!!
POINT 1 - considering oman and egypt are both strong opponents for a friendly, and the game will be stressful for the TM, they shd NOT be conducted anywhere within 4 days of the UAE game, which is another tough and stressful game. this gap allows for post-game recovery and rejuvenation of the team.
so the closest date would be May 28th.
------------
POINT 2- for that game to be useful, it shd be spaced by at least a week from the first test game. this space would provide for post-game recovery as well as a chance to re-evaluate the team strategies, work on wekanesses and strengths, work on line ups , .... etc.
this means the first test game can be conducted around 21st MAY and not later.
------------
POINT 3- but 21st of May is the day Saipa and sepahan have their ACL games !!
so what to do? leave out players like aghili, bengar, hosseini, sadeghi, gholamnejad, memarzadeh, .. and probably potential call ups like kazemi, haj-safi, mohamadi , zeneyedpoor, ... etc , from the FIRST PROPER TEST GAME TM GETS ?
with the major players of defense absent, what kind of coordination shd we expect now? what use of the game with absence of our main players ?
also, what would daei do ? attend the saipa's game or TM training ?
----------------
POINT 4- for these two test games to be of any use, we must first FORM A TEAM out of the individuals at the camp.
and that means to have a DECENT amount of time to work and play together. train together
and have enough time to understand and adopt the tactics and strategies of the staff.
I'd say, given our absolute IN-COORDINATION of the present TM, it needs MINIMUM a week of HARD and TOUGH strenuous training to have a semblance of a TEAM.
that's put the date of starting the trainings, at the LATEST, 14th of MAY.
----------------
POINT 5- for the players to be in some sort of shape and physical condition to be READY for the above-mentioned rough and strenuous training schedule and camp, they shd have at least 3-4 days of rest after their league and hazfi games.
that would make the date, at the LATEST POSSIBLE, around May 10th.
Now, I've been extremely generous and accommodating regarding the dates. coz we all know it will take MORE than a week to get our new faces, fresh flock at TM to understand each other, and learn to become a team.
------------------
POINT 6- this is when we conduct the league as we've been doing recently, which means a game every week.
coz if you ADD to the number of games per week ( as IFF is trying to do ) it means the players need even MORE DAYS to recover and be fit for TM's tough training.
.... that is if they dont sustain any injuries from the packed scheduling !!!!! which is highly possible.
remember WC 06 ?
so in case of a packed schedule, I'd say the league games shd be over by MAY 7th , the LATEST. But since ACL games are on 7th, I guess both sepahan and saipa would like to finish before or after that date !!!
hence, the other clubs would not want to finish BEFORE these two finish.
so lets decide on a couple of days BEFORE May 7th.
lets say May 4th. coz any later than that, both sepahan and saipa will object as it'd be too close to their ACL games !
and that is little more than 3 weeks from now. with 6-7 league games and some hazfi games and a couple of ACL games ( May 7th & April 23rd ) !!!
but my question is :
Can the league be over by May 4th ?
