    Spaniards pique Bolt interest but United remain real deal

    Spaniards pique Bolt interest but United remain real deal
    MADRID: Jamaican sprint king Usain Bolt is becoming a fan of Spanish football after watching Real Madrid’s season-opening win over Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday night - but adds Manchester United remain the team for him. “I support Manchester United in the English League. I am now a fan of Real Madrid. (Ruud) van Nistelrooy has always been one of my favorites,” said Bolt afterwards as he met reporters at the Bernabeu stadium, an arena which clearly impressed him.

    “I was very nervous on the pitch, for the first time in my life, I had never been there before... the crowd was overwhelming. I could play football, cricket or basket-ball. If I change sport, I’ll pick up easily,” said Bolt. Real chairman Florentino Perez offered Bolt a model of the stadium as a gift afterwards. After the game, Bolt went for dinner with new Real star and former United kingpin Cristiano Ronaldo and his family.

    Bolt will compete Friday in Brussels before heading home to Jamaica before he attends the Grand Prix finale on September 12-13 in Salonika in Greece. He added he had not yet assessed what his calendar would be for 2010 though he expects to chase down more world records, including beating his 100m mark of 9.58, set at the worlds in Berlin earlier this month.

    “I want to be a legend in the sport and stay there for a long time,” said Bolt, who revealed his interest in football stems from playing at school and high school “as a defender or a defensive midfielder.” Looking ahead he said he intends to “keep working with my coach on improvements to run faster. This year we worked on my start and I improved a lot in Berlin.” And he added he is looking over his shoulder at up-and-coming youngsters such as training partner Yohan Blake, who has already timed 9.93 over 100m. There are, insists Bolt, “a lot of talents in Jamaica” just waiting to snatch a share of the limelight. afp

      It is the foolish man who doubts that talents abounds.

      We just need to discover how to unlock the football talent..just as we have discovered how to develop track.

              Lazie - what do you mean? Do you not think that we have talent in football (or are you saying that we have "raw" talent which is not developed, ergo, no talent?)

                Some talent do exist, I've always said that. The notion that there is an ABUNDANCE of talent is simply a myth.

                  Couldn't you say that for any country? Personally, I believe that we have innate talents that if developed, could make us just as prolific at producing footballers as we do track stars. The big dilemma in Jamaica is that at the grass roots, we continue to enjoy the game based on overt individualism. This is why I believe we are good in track, which is overwhelmingly an individual sport. We love the attention and we are gifted with genes that produce an overabundance of fast twitch muscle.

                  I used to coach a team in the hotel league many years ago. One of the biggest problems I had was that players wouldn't pay attention to instruction. In practice, we could do a drill 10,000 times the same way over and over. The minute the team got out on the field, they would play to the crowd and forget instruction, almost always with disastrous results.

                  Were we able to get an improved infrastructure for our *young players* (under 10), we could produce great football talents just as we do in track, but our mentality has to change. Maybe then, we would be able to exploit the abundance of *raw* talent on the rock, but till then, I agree that we are far from having an abundance of *developed* talent. We are still too raw.

                    " agree that we are far from having an abundance.."

                    Nuff said.

                          and for you to not see it, or continue to act like you don't know you are doing something wrong, indeed malicious, devious and cruel...that speaks to a deranged mind.
