I dont know if their are is someone else to coach the cyprus national team but what I do know is that the national coach is supposed to check several games of atleast the first teams in all divisions and search of new talents.
and who told you this hasn't been done?
the reality is that all this players you may think are so strong, maybe aren't enough for a NT... but they need training to reach actual players level..
Steve Makis search weekly all active divisions too avoid bot young talents to go waisted, he freed many talents that are making this national teams (both u21 and NT) very competitive...
i can't imagine where you proved Steve to miss this job...
It is not an easy job if you wish to become a national coach. It needs a lot of effort to find the right talents that will make the team better and to scout on the opponents game play, strenghts and weakness.
this is right... and nobody, and I ensure you
nobody, could have accomplished this better than steve... he spend nights and days working for cyprus, the proofs are on the forums, I don't recall you discussing about nt's games or players almost anywhere... coming here just to be harsh without any reason is not something that could improve any discussion
I am dissapointed with our performance in the national tournament.
well you shouldn't we lost for steve fault, i'd say never, but I'll say only against shiqperia, other matches couldn't be won...
but this had happened for one reason: the best players of cyprus are still 21 years old and they played for the u21, who had very great results indeed... nobody can say it hadn't... from net season the national team will count on kaikas, florakis, pitsikokos and other players who always played at the same level against players of strong teams like germany or portugal.... and resultuts will come with time...
in two season steve makis' job made it possible to have a strong u21 and on the long period a strong national team... it wasn't impossible to have both in only two seasons....
I believe we can do much better. If someone decided to be the national coach he better take his role seriously for the benefit of the nation.
this must be a joke... it can't be taken as a serious issue
The truth is I am disappointed from our coach. I am sorry if I am a bit harsh.
anyone has right to his opinions, i respect yours but i'd suggest you to prove them a little better next time...
