No more politicians coming to turn the national team’s trainings to neighborhood kickabouts with disregard for our opponents and the importance of the task ahead.
No more taking our opponents with levity. S/L has taught us the lesson we’ve refused to learn for years now.
There should be no distractions. The job at hand is a serious one. Never mind that the opponents are cslled squirrels
