GETTING TO GRIPS WITH THE GAME
(By Ernest Blenkinsop)
Liverpool's International Left Back.
DIRECT football methods, exploited by capable players, should always produce more victories than defeats. The team who go out to win, de- serve to win. If they are well combined and play a direct, determined game from the kick-off to the final whistle, they will take a lot of stopping.
You may believe that a team are always in- tent upon victory. But, very often, this intention is not altogether obvious. Eleven players may start well; they may show better form than their adversaries; but victory only goes to the team who can "keep it up" for the full ninety minutes.
A team who start well may go all to pieces before half-time. Even though they really have the necessary staying power, they may become disheartened and fail to get the verdict simply because their will to win is not strong enough.
Sometimes a doubtful decision advance to score; the half-backs against a team will take all the give suppert and prepare for any BY FAIR FIELD heart out of the players.
