In the entire history of the tournament, only 22 clubs became champions (some of them won more than once, for example, Real Madrid was the champion 13 times). But thanks to its persistence, Sheriff managed to defeat Teuta, Alashkert, Red Star Belgrade, Dinamo Zagreb, and ended up in the group stage of the Champions League, where it showed great results and has beaten even the great Real Madrid. Depending on the team you have picked up, you get to the corresponding stage of the competition: preliminary round, first qualifying round, second qualifying round, third qualifying round, play-off round, group stage, knockout phase.įor instance, the FC Sheriff Tiraspol started its path in the Champions League in the first qualifying round, while Real Madrid started in the group stage. Somebody f***ed this up, and Nick Saban f***ing fixed it.In Football Heads: 2021-22 Champions League, you can choose from 79 European football clubs featured in the tournament. And on the Nick Saban chess board, there's no detail to small for control. Hell, this might even be an associate/assistant AD at Alabama, because that's how much power Nick Saban has. While it's poor optics for the politically correct crowd, my gut tells me whoever got selected from the ops staff - white or black - to hold Saban's cup of water treats as a compliment they were selected. I don't think it matters in this case, because my bet is that Nick picked the person who was going to hold the cup of water for him, and he picked the person he trusted the most. And psycho-level control is a big part of how you built the machine.īONUS - I know the guy holding the cup of water is black. If you're Steve Jobs or Nick Saban, it's accepted because you're the best in the world at what you do. If you get average results as a leader and try and flex this level of control, you'll be on the way out, because the people you lead will revolt. Note that this only works if you're a leader who gets unbelievable results. TRANSLATION: Somebody f***ed this up, and Nick Saban f***ing fixed it. I don't know how long this has has been going on, but it's been there for the last 3 games. From the that point forward, an entire FTE of the athletic department will have one job - to be behind Saban with an available cup of water at all times. Being the control freak many great leaders are, he came up with his own solution. To the point where he couldn't be reasoned with.Ĥ. The person responsible for being in the general area got called away or lost attention to the task at hand, which was hydrating Saban.ģ. It went OK for awhile, then one time Saban wanted a drink - in practice or in a game - and the solution that got put in place failed. He delegated that and allowed his staff to figure it out.Ģ.
At some point in the past, he got tired of finding said drink and instructed his operations team to have someone around with water for him. Saban works hard and wants a drink every once in a awhile. When a guy like Saban dictates that level of control, there's no doubt in my mind that the following happened:ġ. I used to be around college athletics as a player and a coach. The guy is always positioned behind Saban in the manner pictured to the right. Saban has a guy who has the sole job to have a cup of water ready for him when he's thirsty/ready. Check out the picture to the right in this post (click through it you don't see the photo). The last three games, I've noticed a trend. Today, I'm here give you one example from the book of Saban: Click on the link to learn more if needed/interested. In sports, consider Alabama football coach Nick Saban.įor the uninitiated, Saban is the head football coach at the University of Alabama, who has built a dominating machine in college football. Think the Uber guy before he came crashing down. They are crazy control freaks with a detailed plan on how domination is going to be achieved. Oh yeah - the best leaders in sports, just like in business, are a little bit crazy. There's talent considerations, managing performance and more. Alternatively, you can watch players do this to themselves. The goal is to defeat your opponents by pushing them into deadly objects (or off the map). The sports world follows the business world in a lot of ways. io game where you compete with up to eight players.
