Gracia: A Watford Players Perspective

Ben Foster was coached by Gracia whilst he was Watford goalkeeper. He was interviewed on Talksport this morning. Here is a summaryof his comments on Gracia.

On a human level a good man respectful really enjoyed working for him.

Likes his team to have an attacking style but when they lose the ball he demands that everyone quickly gets back into the defensive shape.

Communicates in a calm and composed manner, gets his message across without ranting and raving.

Surely the best manager would be the one who knows when to shout and when to stay calm!..

There are situations where one way is better than the other, you just have to know where and when you use which to get the best results out off whoever you're working with!..

Bloody hell, Vinnie did ok in the meanmashine!..

it tends to be on an indivdual basis. there are ones that can get away with things others who cant.

others that need a boot up the jacksie to perform others that need a cuddle.

there is no right or wrong way to do it."

Why I said best results out off whoever you're working with!..

plus lets not forget it depends on the level of player the manager is dealing with.

the better players get more privileges and leeway

Exactly, his time starts now, and if not now then the game after. I really hope he's available for
Southampton.
