Freddie as usualy the case is spot on!
Flintoff may actually be onto something. When the team wins, "team spirit" isn't even mentioned. You'll realise that "team spirit" is only mentioned when a team isn't winning.
Yeah they do mention team spirit when a team is winning. When Leicester won the league it's all people spoke about how they were together as a team ...
Brilliantly said. When the chips are down that's when team spirit matters. That's the test of person mental strength and his character on how to truly bounce back from those failure and hardships.
I think that is the responseblity of leader to create environment that team stays together when have tough time or they lose
Cricket and football are very different sports. Cricket is a team sport but played by individuals, and individual performances are very important and can win you games especially in Test cricket regardless how the team spirit is. Whereas in football, which is more of a team sport, team spirit is very important.
This is nonsense
Freddie showing how much thought he put into his cricket here
Freddy is absolutely spot-on !!! I played cricket 25 yes from school to club cricket... I understand what he said very well !!!
You obviously speak English then.
@@glynhayes5930 😂😂😂 I do to a certain extent ,😜
I think Flintoff really talks in a practical way and doesn't brag too much about himself. Doesn't exaggerate or show off like Shoaib Akhtar.
In the top teams every player is playing for his own place, to make money on different aspects of the game. To score a goal or an assist brings in extra money. It is success they want for themselves. Because sooner or later they will be off to a better club and yet more money.
fred is bang on the money. in sport and in life ......that is the case
I love Freddie and as always he makes his point in a way you want to agree with him, but his attitude is why he was a terrible skipper.
Freddie is exactly on point. When doing poorly the team evaporates.
He also says the Earth is flat, so I'd take his opinion with a pinch of salt.
I really cannot fathom how Robbie Savage can actually say - esp with that tone of voice - that Flintoff was a poor captain without context. Flintoff was made Capt cos Vaughan (England's greatest capt?) was injured, Tres went off the tour at the last min, and Simon Jones was injured. Add to that Harmison was terrible for reasons out of Flintoff's control.
Vaughan was quality in 2002 Oz tour and Flintoff had to essentially three roles within that team. Batting @ 6, bowling first change over, and then the massive task of captaining.
Savage done sweet F.A in his career compared to Freddie - he has no right to mock him. Btw, i get that i might come across as a snowflake but Savage is soooo annoying.
you're absolutely right with the facts but I don't think Robbie was being serious - if you watch other stuff, they both give it to other people, its just banter.
Think it was a little bit of banter Ryan Pleb - lighten up son.
I appreciate freds opinion.He's been there done that.Ive played cricket in 3 different centuries(nothing spacial) .but at even club level the English have the wrong attitude .The nets,friendly games.Most English school or club players know what cricket is.
How the fuck did you play cricket in the 19th century? Old as shit
Interesting point. Nonsense, but never the less interesting.
Leicester City went from rock bottom in 2014-2015 to escape from relegation. Their team spirit was awesome.
Now whether that team spirit came from good management, winning games as Fred says, team building exercises or whatever they had it. Last season when they got relegated, Villa didn't!!!
same "team spirit" got their manager sacked when the team purposely underperformied, which, is actually freddies point
dcd87 LFC :- NO it didn't. At least part of the reason they were poor last season was they had LOST their team spirit. So it wasn't the SAME team spirit. Same team, different spirit if you get my drift :-)
And they just so happened to lose that team spirit just as they started losing games...just like freddie said. Shocker! :0
Explain how Burnley stayed in the EPL this season then? Most of their players wouldn't get a game in other EPL sides and yet they managed to stay up. OH.......and they lost more games than they won!!!
Absolute bollocks from Flintoff,no such thing as team spirit,but then he says only when ur winning is team spirit great,well yeah,maybe teams that don't win is because they have no team spirit,to say there's no such thing is absolute utter nonsense
Only Vardy is decent at Leicester, every other striker is useless.
That's the reason England could not win a world cup
Team spirit is 100% a factor. I have played football with 6/7 different teams so far and I have experienced team spirit in tough situations however this is only with a couple of teams so I think Freddie may just have played with cunts when he was losing
