Messina tanks
After one week of the resignation of Ettore Messina, who opened the greatest institutional crisis in the basketball section of Real Madrid (oddly enough when things are going better: runner-up King's Cup, second in league and qualified for the quarter-finals of the Euroleague with homecourt advantage in favor), it's time to brush a mode of analysis / assessment of what happened.
the resignation of Messina, my first thought was that it was an honest decision and so I wrote on Twitter . Also, I expected it to be honest in announcing his reasons in the press conference the next day. For the first time in a year and a half it was not in a press conference. He threw balls out and blamed the press. "I could stay here quietly and wait to throw me out. If I do this is because I want to help unite and not divide," "The division level had been reached, especially outside, to a dangerous level for the team. It is difficult for those who play to see that the coach is constantly questioned. " Were among the reasons offered. It was not sincere.
The night before the press conference the reasons I explained in your twitter dimisón:
· Since q tweeted summer in June 2011 if not earlier would
• The resignation of Messina I seem to be consistent and honorable and honest
· Messina had no feeling with players and vice versa and with directors and vice versa or players / policy. Not felt loved
· Messina did not want many players do not believe in sudden impact or CS or Mirotic (not policy, it is true)
· Messina wants to project as well or understand and he told me last year, not a hybrid. Sell \u200b\u200bmovie and he buys
· Messina is a great coach and bad manager slate
· Messina group is consistent in his resignation q pq feels plenty and if we do feel their way q spare, feeling no longer exists with JCS
· Messina had a good relationship with Maceiras
· Messina cuadraria in Vitoria with Querejeta, philosophy similar: action reaction
Messina • The march will lead to the total loss of interest in VET in basketball, yes even less
Messina • The progress of a stick to the image of RM
· Messina has brought out the best many players: involution
· Messin league level gauge did not know nor meaning nor exposure acb dl RM
· Messina could not control all media. Q
· Messina thought MR was something else, the archaic structure and fpdependencia ...
· Messina lived in a constant stres and broadcast, not a day was calm
After the press conference:
Messina ¨ I was disappointed in his press conference, he has had
usual brutal honesty
Then came his honest statements La Repubblica: uploaded on the press (still shocked), said he had a "good" relationship with Florentino but it was not "agile" reach him "not live" and stated that a club like Real Madrid should have a management structure that is also responsible for "support and protection of the coach," you need this figure that exists in all the big clubs, as Ferdinando Minucci in Siena ( chairman), Querejeta in Vitoria (chairman), otherwise the coach goes crazy.
After landing at Messina Real Madrid and more after the dismissal of Maceiras, it was clear that the Italian would not fulfill its contract. Is used to working in a way that has nothing to do with Real Madrid and so the debate of who is coming to the bench? is absurd, we should concentrate on how to restructure this section to work once and for all?
What I can not understand Messina, who suffered the same malady of Boza Maljkovic thinking that criticisms were personal, is to give much importance to media criticism, which this year were much lower. As I said, he could not gauge the level of the ACB or the sports media exposure and the white bench. based with an extract of an interview I did the Thursday November 5, 2009 : "I've been lucky enough to be on great teams like Virtus or CSKA, which is the all-Russian team because he represents his country in the Euroleague and just three months I've realized that this heavy shield. Here you feel examined every day and I ran a story that describes perfectly. After winning the Unicaja in Malaga, the next day I went to Bologna to see my mother. The Metro de Madrid, in the television, I saw they put pictures of the victory with labels underneath. The first: Great victory for Madrid in Malaga, where he had never won. The next, to see if it continues. Incredible! Call my wife. If something similar had happened with CSKA, had brought tanks shouting "mind" or "until victory."
Another thing that killed Messina (who was about to leave after their first year) was the conversion of a project that had been raised to win and one to win in the coming years. Especially considering what I said in October 2009 , just landed: "In Madrid there is pressure to win yesterday, not today. There is a special requirement. Of course there is a demand to win now, this is the Real Madrid! In today's modern football you can not make future plans, projects must be immediate, one or two years ahead, as much to three seasons. Thinking more is impossible: no NBA out clause, the market moves a lot ... We must strive to have a lasting structure and build around knowing that the situation can change overnight.
said, Messina has repented of his sudden and unexpected farewell both personally and in sports. Yes it was after the 'failure' of the first year was to try to refocus the project. But then, he had in mind one thing and found another and the relationship with the directive was completed deteriorate. He did not feel supported, or wanted and as it is a puppet and used to include, resigned. That resignation was indeed honest. Reasons not discussed in public.
The problem is not Messina Real Madrid or the players. That is very simplistic. Is the lack of structure, lack of faith and trust in section, the constant feeling that he is on borrowed time and that any time will be charged a chairman for the section winners in the history of European basketball. Needed project. Missing idea. Conception. Style. Id. Less ministerial organization. So will a coach or other endemic and will continue. And along the way will lose players, coaches and valid values, such as Messina.
